180: Chapter 180 The Stinky Mud Monster
After Chebuman left, to avoid Skadi misinterpreting his lack of effort, Nie Ning summoned five huge Earth Spirit Puppets, each five meters tall.
Although they were only First Ring spells, under the reinforcement of high-quality magic power, the Earth Spirit Puppets could still display impressive strength.
Chebuman had just dispersed the meat pie, so the Earth Spirit Puppets, with their First Ring peak strength, could still handle the remaining flesh chunks reinforced by the Toxic Miasma.
However, watching the energy fluctuations stirred up by the fight within the Toxic Miasma, a flash of gray light flickered in Nie Ning's eyes.
Not far from Nie Ning, a patch of soil was suddenly clawed open, followed by several blood-colored tentacles extending from within.
With the appearance of the Human-Faced Balloon, the outer field evolved into a battle for the dismembered limbs and severed arms.
Although the power of the Toxic Miasma was considerable, the Human-Faced Balloon was, after all, a soul of corruption; while snatching flesh and blood, its own regenerative ability was also increasing.
Suddenly, the surface of the Flesh Spider's body was caught in a cycle of constant destruction and growth.
As time passed, the damage caused by the Toxic Miasma was not even healing as fast as it was being inflicted, and gray mist of the same color as the Toxic Miasma began to rise around it.
The gray mist had the effect of isolating Spiritual Power, making it impossible for the two, Skadi and Chebuman, inside to observe the situation here.
However, after devouring to a certain extent, Nie Ning controlled the Human-Faced Balloon to split the Flesh Spider into several meat balls to suppress the spread and driving force of the gray mist.
Because with his current strength, although his mental control had greatly increased, the gray mist was his nemesis.
Once the intensity of the gray mist exceeded a certain limit, the Human-Faced Balloon would inevitably lose control directly.
There were at least ten thousand people's worth of flesh remaining in the field; if the Human-Faced Balloon devoured it completely, it was very likely to exceed the Third Ring.
Furthermore, Supernatural Adaptability could not quickly wear down the Power of Corruption converted by the Human-Faced Balloon.
The last Black Tide had already strengthened the Human-Faced Balloon once; if it weren't for the fact that today's events required a trump card, he would never have dragged the Human-Faced Balloon into the battle.
...
At this time, in the central area.
With the addition of Chebuman, Skadi's pressure was slightly reduced.
However, the Sludge Monster had very high stats, and its massive body could spew out a large number of mud ball bombs.
This caused Skadi to be constantly held back by the Sludge Monster, unable to find time to cast high-power spells.
"Help me block it!" Skadi said to Chebuman in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, dissatisfaction flashed in Chebuman's eyes.
But thinking of the item in Skadi's hand, Chebuman had no choice but to step up and began to use defensive spells to buy time for Skadi.
But how could the sky-filling mud ball bombs be so easy to block?
In just a moment, seven of the ten layers of metal barriers set up by Chebuman were shattered.
Skadi's body surged with magic power, and his powerful Spiritual Power outlined a rune array. Immediately after, a huge water snake rushed out from the array, transforming into a giant python hundreds of meters long that coiled around the Sludge Monster's body.
"Explode!" Skadi shouted loudly.
The hundred-meter giant python erupted with intense blue light, like ignited explosives, exploding from the bottom of the Sludge Monster all the way to its head.
Under the terrifying explosive power, the meat-mountain-like Sludge Monster was blasted with pits and holes all over its body.
Seizing this opportunity, Chebuman waved his hand to summon a metal blade tens of meters long, hacking down at the Sludge Monster's head.
But in the end, he overestimated his own strength.
Just because Skadi could cause damage didn't mean he could too.
The metal blade struck the Sludge Monster's head, only opening a three-meter-deep wound.
But for a hundred-meter meat-mountain-like Sludge Monster, such damage was undoubtedly no different from a tickle.
At this moment, the Sludge Monster's body surface squirmed, and a large number of mud ball bombs were spewed from its body, blasting Chebuman, who was close by, away in a single encounter.
Seeing that things were going poorly, Skadi hurriedly erected a water barrier in the middle to block the subsequent mud balls, which allowed Chebuman to narrowly escape death.
However, the shield on Chebuman's body had been blown open by the mud ball bombs, and the toxic gas in this space surged toward Chebuman as if it had smelled blood.
And the moment it touched the toxic mist, Chebuman's arm showed signs of festering.
Chebuman was horrified and hurriedly erupted the magic power in his body to flush away the surrounding toxic gas, then re-applied a shield for himself.
Seeing Chebuman being so useless, a look of contempt flashed in Skadi's eyes.
"Trash is trash. Even like this, he still wants the tian zhe holy feather? Keep dreaming!"
If it weren't for the fact that he still needed this guy, he would really want to feed this trash to a Corruptor!
However, Skadi's attention was quickly drawn by the Sludge Monster.
The surrounding Toxic Miasma fluctuated violently, and then surged into the Sludge Monster's body like a tide.
With the reinforcement of the Toxic Miasma, the meat-mountain-like Sludge Monster slowly transformed into a human shape, with many holes appearing on its body surface, spitting out toxic gas like a steam engine.
Seeing this, Skadi's expression became grave, and then, with a pained expression, he took out an object that looked like a bowl and dish from his spatial bag.
As magic power was injected into the 'bowl and dish', the 'bowl and dish' flew into the air and slowly grew larger.
Under Skadi's control, a suction force emanated from the 'bowl and dish', beginning to compete with the Sludge Monster for the toxic gas.
However, although it absorbed the toxic gas, the 'bowl and dish' slowly began to turn gray, revealing a thick aura of Corruption.
Skadi was heartbroken.
Because this Soul-Absorbing Plate was not originally meant to deal with Corruptors.
The purpose of the Soul-Absorbing Plate was to absorb Elemental Power, thereby weakening the enemy's energy attacks.
But the Power of Corruption did not belong to the elements, and it possessed strong corrosiveness.
Once the Soul-Absorbing Plate was used to absorb the Power of Corruption, the Soul-Absorbing Plate was considered directly scrapped, and there was almost no possibility of subsequent remediation.
However, at this moment, he could not care about that much.
He had to deal with the Sludge Monster as soon as possible, lest the nearby area turn into a dead zone.
After restricting the toxic gas, Skadi began to use witchcraft to attack the Sludge Monster, while Chebuman, who was on the side, assisted with attacks.
...
Compared to the fierce battle in the central area, Nie Ning's side seemed much more peaceful.
Perceiving that the surrounding Toxic Miasma began to weaken, Nie Ning turned his attention to the Blazing Sun Zenith Array above.
Watching the dismembered limbs and severed arms clinging to the formation, terrifying fire element energy erupted from Nie Ning's body, summoning scorching flames to burn the dismembered limbs and severed arms and the Toxic Miasma.
As the Power of Corruption on the formation became less and less, the Blazing Sun Zenith Array erupted with its proper power, and the heavy suppression even restricted the Human-Faced Balloon on the ground.
The Toxic Miasma and the gray mist were countered and worn down by the scorching power of the formation.
Nie Ning looked towards the inner direction and could vaguely see Skadi and Chebuman fighting against the Sludge Monster.
Seeing this, Nie Ning knew that he could no longer slack off.
After all, he was here to kill the Sludge Monster, and it was time to contribute some effort; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to carry out his plan later.
