40: Mutation, Ye Liuyun turned into a ferocious beast?

Boom!

A figure heavily smashed into the ruins, but in an instant, he rushed out, his spear tip exploding with lightning, blasting away the Hell Panther that lunged at him.

After successfully striking, Zhao Donglai, holding his spear, spat out a mouthful of blood.

This Hell Panther was agile and vicious, making it truly difficult to deal with. Coupled with his Divided Soul due to Ye Liuyun, this fellow managed to bite him, tearing a large chunk of his battle armor on his arm.

"Ye Liuyun, how are you doing now!"

Zhao Donglai shouted into the intercom, but there was no response for a long time!

His heart was already ice-cold. This kid!

"How are you two doing? Can you spare some time to go over there!"

"Group leader... I really can't get away... Static static static."

Ming Xingguo's signal was intermittent, mixed with static, making it impossible to hear clearly.

And Xu Feng didn't reply at all.

He probably had his earpiece knocked off during the battle.

Zhao Donglai steeled his heart, his gaze sweeping over Defense Zone 792. He couldn't worry about so much now; he could only abandon this place and go check on Ye Liuyun first.

That guy couldn't afford to have any mishaps!

Just as Zhao Donglai was about to move, the Hell Panther seemed to know his intentions and swiftly moved to block him.

Zhao Donglai's speed was not on the same Rank as it.

"You beast! You're courting death!"

Zhao Donglai immediately gathered lightning at the tip of his spear and launched a barrage of attacks at the Hell Panther. Unfortunately, no matter how he attacked, the Hell Panther managed to dodge perfectly.

Not only that, but it also seized opportunities to perfectly block Zhao Donglai, preventing him from advancing an inch!

Helpless, Zhao Donglai could only abandon the idea of leaving. Otherwise, he would be dragged to death by this beast. Only by completely eliminating it could he leave!

Zhao Donglai gripped his silver long spear, a fierce look in his eyes.

He hoped Ye Liuyun could hold on... Defense Zone 792.

Ye Liuyun stood swaying in place, surrounded by the corpses of Vicious Beasts, a ghastly sight.

Blood dripped from his jaw to the ground.

Crack!

Ye Liuyun pulled out the Bone-Spike from his right upper arm, the intense pain making his mouth twitch.

During the battle just now, the Bone-Spike Source Octopus took the opportunity to shoot out many Bone-Spikes. Ye Liuyun tried his best to dodge, but there were too many, and he ultimately took two hits!

The gigantic Bone-Spike Source Octopus in the distance watched Ye Liuyun, its pupils seeming to mock his overestimation of his own abilities.

Now, only it and Ye Liuyun remained in the entire Defense Zone, a man and a beast in a completely disproportionate standoff.

Ye Liuyun's fists clenched slightly. His berserk state was gradually fading with time, and fatigue was invading his entire body.

What kept him standing there was the hatred in his heart!

Whenever his peripheral vision caught sight of his comrades lying in pools of blood, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but feel a pang of pain!

Not a single survivor!

"Squeak squeak squeak." The Bone-Spike Source Octopus looked down at the tiny Ye Liuyun, seemingly mocking him, its pupils extremely nimble.

"Come on, aren't you very strong? Kill me! You disgusting beast!" Ye Liuyun looked up at the extremely ugly head and cursed loudly.

He knew this beast could understand.

"Squeak squeak squeak."

Sure enough, after Ye Liuyun finished cursing, the Bone-Spike Source Octopus's face showed an angry expression.

Four tentacles slowly rose, countless Bone-Spikes trembling on them.

Ye Liuyun retreated and flashed like an arrow shot from a bow.

The next second, a sky full of Bone-Spikes completely covered his previous position. The Bone-Spikes shaken from its tentacles were incredibly powerful, nearly two-meter-long Bone-Spikes all embedding themselves into the ground.

Ye Liuyun being able to withstand two was purely due to his strong Physique.

"Squeak squeak squeak."

The Bone-Spike Source Octopus cackled in the air, and several more tentacles rose, a flurry of Bone-Spikes shooting towards the dodging Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun stomped his feet on the ground, using the force to leap into the air, his Storm Gauntlets continuously dancing to block the incoming Bone-Spikes.

Dodging like this wasn't a solution.

He had figured it out; this Bone-Spike Source Octopus was completely toying with him, just like many elementary school students in his previous life would tease ants.

Damn beast!

As Ye Liuyun continuously dodged, his eyes narrowed, his peripheral vision constantly searching for the opponent's weakness.

The Bone-Spike Source Octopus had almost no body; below its head were countless tentacles, so its weakness was easy to determine: its head.

According to the characteristics of an octopus, even if he severed its tentacles, they would regenerate.

Besides, he couldn't even get close to the tentacles; the Bone-Spikes shot out and then quickly regenerated.

If he got close, he would just be making things easier for it, directly sending himself to his death.

Having understood this, Ye Liuyun casually grabbed a Bone-Spike shot at him, held it in his hand, and vigorously pushed off the ground with his legs, leaping back and forth like a cannonball, using the iron plates on the side for leverage.

In a few breaths, he reached the same height as his opponent. Seizing the opportunity, he gripped the Bone-Spike with both hands, leaped up, aimed at the opponent's head, and fiercely stabbed it.

The Bone-Spike Source Octopus saw Ye Liuyun descending like Mount Tai, a look of disdain flashed in its eyes, then its huge mouth opened into a giant sphere.

Whoosh—

Black ink spewed from its mouth, and Ye Liuyun, who was in the air with nowhere to gain leverage, was directly hit by this mouthful of ink.

Upon contact, Ye Liuyun's skin surface emitted black smoke.

This ink was corrosive!

Damn it!

He spat on Vicious Beasts every day, but he never expected to be spat on himself one day.

Ye Liuyun, enveloped in ink, heavily smashed to the ground.

"Squeak squeak squeak."

The Bone-Spike Source Octopus trembled wildly in the air, countless tentacles shaking along with it.

Its appearance was one of utter mockery.

Mocking the weak strength and ignorant mind of this tiny human.

Ye Liuyun, lying on the ground, was enveloped in a burning sensation, the pain unbearable. His face was contorted, and he looked at the crimson night sky with lifeless eyes. Was this it? Alas!

Damn it, he purely died a foolish death.

He actually had a chance to leave.

He insisted on being a hero.

He could only blame himself; being a hero wasn't that easy.

In his last moments of consciousness, he looked at the Bone-Spike Source Octopus mocking him in the air and couldn't help but use all his strength to shout his last words.

"What are you squeaking about, your mother!"

After cursing, Ye Liuyun's head tilted, and he fainted.

Even if he died, he wouldn't let it be too happy.

The cursed Bone-Spike Source Octopus stopped smiling, extended a tentacle, and coiled it towards Ye Liuyun. It could roughly understand what the other party meant.

But it didn't matter now; it wanted to fiercely swallow this human whole.

Just as the tentacle was about to touch him.

A burst of blue light erupted into the sky, illuminating the entire Defense Zone. At that moment, all, whether Vicious Beasts or humans, turned their gaze towards it.

After Zhao Donglai felt the light, his face showed a mixture of suspicion and shock.

He had seen this blue light before; it was Ye Liuyun's skill.

But... why did it have a Vicious Beast's Qi!

At the same time.

Commander Liu, who was clashing with the Storm Tiger Emperor in the Vicious Beast lair in the mountains, took a deep look behind him.

Eighth Rank Vicious Beast!

An Eighth Rank Vicious Beast had actually infiltrated!

Damn it!

He thought his people had contained the high-ranking Vicious Beasts, but who knew they were so cunning.

Turning his head, Commander Liu launched a fierce attack. Today, no matter the cost, he had to kill this Tiger Emperor!

But what he didn't know was that the Storm Tiger Emperor was also completely bewildered.

The Vicious Beast Qi here was too unfamiliar, and why did it feel even more terrifying than his own Qi and blood!

What the Hell.

Could it be sent by the Beast Ancestor? It didn't tell him... Defense Zone 792.

The Bone-Spike Source Octopus's eyes were dull, looking up at the colossal creature ten times its height, its eyes filled with terror.

What on earth was this dark thing!

Why was it so big!!!

As it observed the colossal creature, the other party also lowered its head, its pupils glowing blue, its flesh like black rock, with blue light filling the cracks.

"Roar!"

The moment it lowered its head, the roar, like a hurricane, made the Bone-Spike Source Octopus's head tremble continuously.

"Squeak squeak..."

The Bone-Spike Source Octopus had just let out two squeaks when its head was directly grabbed by a claw and lifted up.

The countless tentacles continuously emitted Bone-Spikes in the air, but the usually unstoppable Bone-Spikes snapped upon hitting the opponent's skin.

Its head was being held, making it impossible to gather strength, let alone spit ink.

And so, the Bone-Spike Source Octopus, like a chick, was held up before those blue-glowing eyes.

"Squeak squeak... squeak squeak..."

As the claw tightened, the Bone-Spike Source Octopus immediately felt pressure on its head. In less than ten seconds, with a 'bang', black ink exploded.

The tentacles lost control and fell to the ground at random.

After casually crushing the Bone-Spike Source Octopus to death, the colossal creature's gaze turned towards the Storm Tiger Emperor in the distance.

Then, its gaping maw, glowing blue, slowly opened.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Blue light gathered and surged from the dorsal fin behind it.

Boom—

A blue pillar of light shot straight across.

The Storm Tiger Emperor, who was dealing with Commander Liu, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. His head had barely moved when the blue flames struck him.

Bang bang bang!

The Storm Tiger Emperor's massive body heavily smashed to the ground, the intense pain causing him to let out a pained wail.

Commander Liu paused for a moment, then the hammer in his hand rapidly grew with the wind.

No matter what the situation was, adhering to the idea of 'strike while the iron is hot,' this was the perfect time to act!

The blue light gradually disappeared after knocking down the Storm Tiger Emperor, and with it, the colossal creature!
