72: Chapter 71 [Black Rhino Armor] and a New Monster!!

Two minutes ago, shortly after Sun Po's consciousness had entered the [mod loading system]...

"Rumble!"

In the distance, a surge of greyish-green waves churned and rushed rapidly toward Sun Po's direction.

Only when it drew closer could one see clearly that it was composed of [Mutated Deep Ones] being tossed high into the air.

They seemed to have been battered into disarray by some giant creature; some were even crushed directly into paste.

Although the [Tianhe Naval Forces] was newly summoned and still ignorant in mind, it knew that its master needed protection at this moment.

Thus, amid the swarm of monsters, a silver-white silhouette charged straight at the surging wave like a passing typhoon, hoping to block it a hundred paces away.

However, as the silver-white figure violently collided with the giant entity, a powerful shockwave erupted, sending countless [Mutated Deep Ones] flying.

The [Tianhe Naval Forces] raised its spear to block the force, pushed back over a dozen steps and plowing a deep trench into the ground.

It looked up, its cold pupils reflecting the creature's appearance.

It was a massive, dark-green figure over ten meters tall, bearing a striking resemblance to the [Mutated Deep Ones].

Its scales appeared thicker, its limbs sturdier, and the antlers atop its head along with the bone spurs at its joints were sinister and sharp.

Within the swollen fish eyes of this giant Mutated Deep One, expressions of fear, rage, and utter madness flickered sequentially.

It made anyone looking at it feel deeply uncomfortable, but fortunately, its opponent was not human either.

The [Tianhe Naval Forces] struggled to unleash its full strength in single combat; dealing with these smaller [Mutated Deep Ones] was naturally effortless,

but against a giant Deep One possessed of immense strength, it fell short.

In particular, the giant creature's size advantage translated into physical suppression.

Yet the [Tianhe Naval Forces] truly lived up to being a purple-quality deity card,

and its intelligence seemed to have increased countlessly compared to when it was an [Yin Soldier].

It knew that those thousands of [Yin Soldiers] were useless here;

since this giant [Mutated Deep One] could forcefully crush and send ordinary [Mutated Deep Ones] flying,

crushing the even lower-quality [Yin Soldiers] would naturally be child's play.

Therefore, only it could stop this monster, and it had to stop it.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, out of the corner of its eye, the [Tianhe Naval Forces] caught a glimpse of a cold shadow.

It instinctively sensed danger and prepared to rush back to Sun Po's side.

However, the giant [Mutated Deep One] slammed down a massive fist, pounding the [Tianhe Naval Forces] several inches into the ground.

Distracted, the [Tianhe Naval Forces] failed to raise its spear in time to block, taking the full force of the blow until its head caved in.

Soon, however, the caved-in head of the [Tianhe Naval Forces] dissolved into dark, greyish-green river water, and a stream of water flew in from the river to join it.

Before long, its head was fully restored—the effect of [Tianhe Divine Body].

Yet what happened next scared the [Tianhe Naval Forces] out of its wits.

Beside Sun Po, a cold gleam suddenly flashed!

A long, narrow blade cut through the air with a piercing screech, rapidly shifting from transparent to a gleam of cold steel as it swung.

It was an enemy capable of invisibility!! The [Tianhe Naval Forces] leaped back toward Sun Po at top speed, abandoning its spear.

Yet, seeing the invisible blade on the verge of kissing the back of Sun Po's neck, the [Tianhe Naval Forces] was still a step too slow.

"Clang!"

The clash of metal echoed across the battlefield. Amid a shower of sparks, a tall, domineering figure clad in dark heavy armor descended upon the battlefield.

It was none other than the [Black Rhino Armor]!!

Sun Po looked down at the bright yellow hexagonal crystal on the chest of the [Black Rhino Armor] frantically absorbing disaster aura.

As a rhinoceros pattern gradually lit up inside the crystal, Sun Po let out a long breath of relief.

That was close; I almost got taken out!!

Immersive MOD creation on a battlefield was far too dangerous, especially when relying solely on a newly summoned [Tianhe Naval Forces] and these grey-quality Yin Soldiers.

It was also Sun Po's fault for seeing [Changyou] slaughtering for so long with only these [Mutated Deep Ones] around and no other powerful monsters, leading him to believe he would be safe for a short while.

That line of thought was a bit too complacent, but it served as a stark lesson, ensuring he would firmly remember this basic mistake.

The masked, light-armored monster—now revealed from transparency—had a face identical in color to the [Yin Soldiers], a decayed greyish-black.

One could faintly discern that its light armor was crimson, looking reasonably intact.

The moment Sun Po saw this red armor, buried memories flooded back to haunt him.

Surging black waters, churning rivers of blood.

An endless wilderness, the towering figure of the [Double-Pupil Warrior].

A vast ocean of red [Yin Soldiers], and the mountain-of-flesh-like [Marquis of Duyan Wang Yi].

"How could Han Army [Yin Soldiers] from the Wujiang Secret Realm be here?"

Feeling the surging power within his body,

Sun Po felt like a man who had been poor his whole life, only to find a mountain of gold and strike it rich overnight.

He looked at the unfamiliar enemy and said,

"Whatever, kill first, ask questions later!"

Seeing its attack fail, the crimson-armored assassin

prepared to turn invisible again and flee into the distance.

Sun Po chuckled.

"Fine, fine, fine.

If I let you escape, this [Black Rhino Armor] might as well be called the Black Bull Armor!"

With that, Sun Po raised his hand:

"[Deadly Dark Whirlpool Pool]!!"

A massive deep pool suddenly expanded beneath the light-armored Yin Soldier's feet, a subtle dark mist and chill coursing upward through its body.

The light-armored Yin Soldier, previously extremely swift, now moved as if in slow motion, completely unable to advance.

At the same time, straight ahead,

the giant [Mutated Deep One] previously held back by the [Tianhe Naval Forces], now freed from obstruction, charged straight toward Sun Po like a heavy truck.

Along the way, both [Mutated Deep Ones] and [Yin Soldiers] were crushed to pieces by its massive body, and even the [Tianhe Naval Forces] was sent flying.

The [Tianhe Naval Forces] had intended to rush back to protect Sun Po, but that opening allowed the ten-meter-tall behemoth a window to charge.

Sun Po, however, looked around, raised his right hand slightly, and grew excited:

"Looks like quite a few new monsters have joined this battlefield. Excellent,

this gives me a chance to test out infinite-firepower [Black Rhino Armor]!!"

A heavy, dark-colored spear imbued with a sense of high technology materialized out of thin air, appearing in the right hand of the [Black Rhino Armor].

Feeling the abundant and dancing Water Elements in the air, Sun Po directly condensed the surrounding Water Elements onto the tip of the spear.

Then, he thrust the spear forward toward the charging giant [Mutated Deep One].

The giant [Mutated Deep One], which ran like a heavy truck, slammed straight into the tip of Sun Po's spear, yet it couldn't force Sun Po to retreat even a single step.

As still as a deep abyss! As swift as thunder!

Sun Po muttered softly under his breath:

"Burst."

The next second, inside the body of the giant [Mutated Deep One] still struggling atop the spear tip, a powerful force of Water Element suddenly detonated.

Yet its explosion lacked any overwhelming fanfare; there was only a tiny, highly penetrating blue speck of light.

That speck of light drifted lightly toward the heart of the giant [Mutated Deep One],

and immediately, the giant [Mutated Deep One] that was fiercely struggling moments ago became like cracked porcelain, its massive body covered in blue fissures,

before finally bursting apart with a loud boom!
