The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

Chapter 233 Fierce Battle

"Get out first!"

Deputy Chief Qian roared, and the missile launcher on the back of his silver armor opened fully, sending several miniature missiles hurtling towards the densest part of the merman guards.

boom! boom! boom!

The flames and shockwaves from the explosion echoed through the cave, sending debris flying and several murloc guards to pieces, their dark green blood splattering everywhere.

"Jie Jie Jie!!"

Before the smoke had cleared, even more murloc guards rushed out, braving the aftershocks of the explosion.

They move with a speed unlike any aquatic creature, running on all fours like hunting dogs, their scaly muscles bulging, their mouths emitting terrifying hissing sounds.

A merman guard suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a large pool of dark green slime, which shot straight at Liang Shu.

Liang Shu swiftly thrust her spear, attempting to pry it open, but the viscous liquid exploded in mid-air, transforming into a sticky net.

She reacted quickly, rolling to the side to dodge. The ground where she had been standing was covered with slime, hissing as it moved, and the rocks quickly turned black and melted away.

On the other side, Chen Hu roared as he faced an exceptionally tall merman guard.

The guard neither dodged nor evaded, his sharp claws, covered in a thick layer of keratin, clashing with Chen Hu's hardened fist.

Bang!

A dull thud resounded, and Chen Hu felt a tremendous force strike him, causing him to stagger backward. He felt a tearing pain in the wild boar's claws, and the fishman guard's claws carried a strange penetrating power.

Before he could regain his footing, another dark figure pounced from the side, a sharp bone spear piercing his ribs.

"Go away."

Chen Hu roared, and the mane on his back suddenly grew longer and thicker, like a witch's hair, blocking his way.

puff!

The bone spear had already pierced through his hastily formed mane defense, deeply embedding itself in his arm muscles, drawing out a trail of blood.

"court death!"

Upon seeing this, Feilong's eyes turned bloodshot, its arms glowed with faint blue scales, and a surge of energy erupted as it fiercely grabbed from afar.

The air around the murloc guard that ambushed Chen Hu was instantly compressed and exploded!

boom!

"Gah!"

The merman guard had half his body blown apart and was sent flying backward.

These exchanges occurred in the blink of an eye.

More attacks followed.

These merfolk guards work together very well. Upon closer inspection, you can see that they are actually different in size and can be divided into several categories.

They launch direct, powerful attacks with astonishing strength, and most of them are statue-like fishmen who have suddenly come to life.

The fish-men, nimble as ghosts or shooting out mesmerizing green rays from their eyes, all emerged from the shrines in the walls.

Wang Jianshe's ten fingers danced like phantoms, and an invisible mental barrier flickered around everyone, deflecting the mental rays shot out by the fishmen, sometimes even deflecting some physical impacts, and even briefly slowing down the attacks of the shadow shuttles.

Fighting against multiple massive black rock-level mental interferences and physical impacts alone is quite taxing.

"Chief Han, help us!" Fei Long shouted urgently as he pulled Li Qingshui back.

With too many guards and their coordination being extremely difficult to deal with, if this drags on any longer, Chen Hu and the other Awakened Ones at the Black Stone level will inevitably be the first to give out.

Han Ning didn't speak; his figure had already disappeared.

The next moment, the top of the cave suddenly lit up, with dazzling silver-white starlight and blazing golden-red flames intertwining and illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.

In his Starry Owl form, he hovered in the air, his wings entirely composed of burning starlight flames, radiating a terrifying aura.

"Stormwing!"

Stormwing, empowered by Starfire, is unleashed.

Countless burning feathers of light, as if summoned, fell from beneath his wings.

The light feathers covered the murloc guards with precision, like a meteor shower.

shhhhhh!

When the light feather touched the slippery scales of the fishman guard, it turned into clumps of sticky, burning sparks.

This power, imbued with stars and flames, has a certain restraining effect on the cold and yin attributes.

The guard that was hit moved stiffly and contorted, and the scales on its body sizzled under the high temperature.

"Snow cake!"

"Roar!!"

The snow cake on the ground heaved violently, and dark red light surged through its thick scales. The surrounding air was violently distorted by the high temperature, and it made a popping sound.

boom!

A column of black and red lava, over one and a half meters in diameter and solidified in appearance, erupted in a fan shape.

Wherever the pillar of fire passed, the air was ignited, and the temperature rose rapidly.

The murloc guards, scorched by the sparks and slowed in their movements, were the first to be affected. Like ice blocks thrown into a steel furnace, the slime on their bodies instantly vaporized, and their charred scales and flesh carbonized in a fraction of a second, turning to ashes along with their bones.

The lava column plowed across the ground, leaving a molten, glass-like trench with the rocks at the edges in a semi-molten state.

This attack wiped out at least ten Blackrock-level Murloc Guardians!

However, just as the breath stopped, and the high-temperature steam and smoke filled the air, obstructing the view, the green light in the eyes of the tallest staff-wielding statue surged again, and the remaining niches on the four walls of the cave exploded with a roar.

This time, the enemies that appeared had a completely different aura; each one exuded energy fluctuations that were close to, or even reached, the Black Iron level.

Three fish-men covered in dark blue scales leaped out from the left, and the temperature inside the cave plummeted below freezing the moment they appeared.

A layer of ice crystals formed on the ground.

A bone-chilling cold permeated the air, attempting to freeze everyone's blood.

On the right are two murlocs, their bodies as bulky as small mountains, their skin covered with thick, rock-like shells that gleam with a metallic sheen.

Boom!

The thick limbs slammed heavily onto the ground!

The entire cave floor trembled violently.

An inexplicable force descended, pressing heavily on everyone present.

Feilong, Chen Hu, Zhao Kai, and other Great Black Stone-level Awakeners immediately felt their bodies become more than ten times heavier, their bones creaked, and even lifting their feet became extremely difficult, their movements as slow as if in slow motion.

Chen Hu coughed up blood due to his injuries and the pressure of gravity.

Right in the center, from the shadowy pool behind the staff-wielding statue, a nearly transparent, giant jellyfish-like creature, over five meters in diameter, silently emerged.

It has no eyes; beneath its enormous canopy hang countless tentacles, each several meters long, shimmering with eerie blue lightning.

The moment this guy appeared, a terrifying mental storm, even stronger than before, swept across the entire area.

"Watch out!!" Wang Jianshe only had time to issue a warning before he was struck as if by a heavy blow. His eyes rolled back instantly, blood gushed from his seven orifices, and he fell straight backward, his consciousness fading.

puff!

Liang Shu let out a muffled groan, and the spear she was infusing with energy clattered out of her hand and fell to the ground. She staggered and knelt on one knee, blood gushing from her nostrils and ears, her spirit severely damaged.

The invisible force field around Feilong twisted and rippled violently like water surface after a stone has been thrown in. His face turned ashen, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Like a drunkard, he swayed and seemed about to collapse at any moment.

Chen Hu, Li Qingshui, Zhao Kai, and other weaker Awakened Ones groaned in agony, clutching their heads and roaring in pain, almost losing their fighting ability.

Chapter 234 Difficulty

Even Han Ning in the air was affected. A strong sense of dizziness and stinging pain struck him, and the starlight on his body flickered violently, its light dimming slightly.

Just then, the giant jellyfish-like creature extended several tentacles that flashed with dazzling electricity and swept them towards Xuebing, who had just finished releasing his breath.

It moved so fast that it left only a blinding bright line on the retina.

Snowcake barely managed to turn her body by instinct.

Crack! Boom!

A blue-white high-voltage current lashed violently against the side of the rice cracker, causing it to explode in a blinding burst of sparks.

"Ow!"

The snow cake grimaced in pain, its scales charred black, enough to withstand the attack from the black iron-grade scales.

Terrifying electrical energy penetrates the body, tearing muscles and burning internal organs.

His body was whipped off the ground by the electric current and flew heavily into the cave wall several meters away.

Boom~

The mountainside trembled violently, and rocks rained down.

The snow cake's body was embedded in a dent and slowly slid down.

A horrifying, charred wound nearly a meter long appeared on his side ribs, with flesh turned outwards and bone visible beneath, blood gushing out.

But Xuebing is tough and resilient. Even after taking this blow, it still managed to stand up with difficulty, and its mind was still clear, so it still had the ability to fight.

At this point, Han Ning had no time to check the specifics of the snow cakes.

The three blue-scaled fishmen opposite him locked onto him, and three extremely cold energy beams swept towards him in a triangular formation, freezing the air in their wake.

A cold light flashed in Han Ning's eyes, and his wings flapped, with starlight and golden flames condensing between them.

Countless burning starfire arrows converged into three thick feather storms, fiercely swirling towards the incoming icy breath.

Huhuhu~

Ice and fire, extreme cold and intense heat, surging energy flows collide in mid-air.

Violent explosions continued unabated, and blast waves swept through, creating a vast expanse of water mist.
