The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

"We succeeded!" Everyone was overjoyed.

The joy lasted only a second.

The dark eyes beneath the monster's helmet flickered, and at the top of the spinal scepter on the third arm, the throbbing tumor suddenly swelled violently.

Chapter 302 Absorbing Fragments

hum~

A deep, twisted hum of mental energy erupted from the scepter.

Even though Deputy Director Luo reacted extremely quickly and released a triangular pyramid-shaped mental barrier, he still couldn't withstand this strange mental impact.

An invisible impact swept across the pink energy wall, immediately covering it with countless cracks.

Then it exploded.

Cheng Rui was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his mental energy output was instantly interrupted.

The components that held the rune array together burst open.

The mental shock swept over the surrounding area, and all team members felt a sharp pain in their heads, blurred consciousness, and distorted movements.

Even Zheng Weiguo and Han Ning were momentarily dazed.

In the midst of this brief chaos, the monster broke free of its remaining restraints.

It seemed to be completely enraged, no longer satisfied with ranged attacks. With a swift movement, leaving a trail of bubbles, it rushed straight towards the location where Cheng Rui and the others had just imprisoned it!

The speed was outrageous, completely unaffected by seawater resistance, and the scepter of the third arm was pointed directly at Cheng Rui!

"not good!"

"Roar!!"

Just as the humanoid monster appeared beside Cheng Rui, stretching out its arms, about to smash him to pieces, a powerful voice, like a thunderclap, resounded in the ears of everyone present.

Boom!

A massive tiger paw, formed entirely of flames, swept across the water, sending the humanoid monster flying.

The dazzling firelight illuminated the astonished faces beneath the deep sea.

The tiger's paw, its momentum undiminished, shot into the sea below. A large amount of dazzling golden fire surged from the tiger's paw, like streaks of fire, which flowed into the monster's body along with the seawater and spread in all directions.

In an instant, the starlight transformed into a fine net of fire, freezing the monster in place.

"Quack quack~"

The monster, suppressed by the fire net, had its head twisted at an abnormal angle, and a pair of crystal-like eyes stared intently at Han Ning.

next second.

Wow~

Ignoring the pressure of the deep sea, it exploded into a cloud of smoke.

Then, the smoke condensed and appeared below the fire net.

"You restrain it, Commander Zheng, and give me that glittering silver fragment."

Han Ning returned to the crowd, staring at the monster below with great apprehension, and said.

Through their exchange, he realized that with his current strength, it would be very difficult to completely kill this monster.

His all-out attack just now caused very limited damage to the opponent.

That monster's strength is likely similar to that of the Source Point, approaching the Quasi-Silver level!

"understood."

Zheng Weiguo knew now was not the time to hesitate, so he handed the Radiant Silver Fragment, which had been dropped by the remaining monsters, to Han Ning.

The shadow seemed to sense the shift in the energy source, and its scepter paused, sending an even thicker black ray straight toward Han Ning.

"Don't even think about it!" Zheng Weiguo roared, his whole body crackling with electricity, transforming into a wall of lightning to block the path of the beam.

boom!

The lightning wall trembled violently and almost collapsed. A trickle of blood spilled from Zheng Weiguo's mouth, but he ultimately managed to block the attack.

Han Ning flashed away, the illusory image of the Molten Gold War Tiger disappearing in a flash, and grabbed the fragment.

The moment he touched it, the condensed, tangible silver-white light emanated from his palm.

"Absorb the Radiant Silver Fragment!"

To avoid making his absorption seem exaggerated, Han Ning threw the glittering silver fragment directly into his mouth.

After entering the system, the Radiant Silver Fragment was absorbed by the system.

Boom!

The abundant radiant silver energy flowed into the body, like a thunderclap exploding.

An unimaginable torrent of silvery-white energy surged into Han Ning's limbs and bones.

This feeling is several times more violent than when I absorbed the red ray bloodline potion before.

His skin cracked instantly, oozing fine beads of blood, then healed rapidly under the flowing silver light, only to crack again.

Wow~

At this moment, Han Ning was like a Super Saiyan, his entire body engulfed in a ball of jet-black flames with faint silver edges.

It stood out brightly in the dark depths of the sea.

It can even displace a massive amount of seawater, creating a vacuum zone.

[A large amount of radiant silver energy is flowing into your body, and your physical condition is being comprehensively improved. Please do not lose your willpower.]

"Humph……"

His bones groaned under the unbearable pressure, and his internal organs felt as if they were being repeatedly burned in a furnace, with intense pain constantly assaulting him.

[Druid growth progress +20, current Lv18 (1/22)]

[New Awakening Skill: Flame of Life]

【Flame of Life】: Fully burn your own life force to transform into a flame of life, ignoring the opponent's armor and directly burning their body and spirit. It can be stacked with Starfire.

"I've unlocked a new skill..."

The information on the panel flashed by so quickly that Han Ning had no time to look at it closely.

The moment he leveled up, he felt as if some kind of shackle had been broken, and his spiritual power surged once again.

While Han Ning was absorbing the Radiant Silver fragments.

The situation of my companions is extremely precarious.

The blurry humanoid shadow ignored the immense pressure of the deep sea, its three arms moving in unpredictable and treacherous attacks.

As the main arm swung, the pitch-black rays struck like a death knell, weakening even Zheng Weiguo's dark red arc shield after it had blocked several rays, clearly indicating a huge drain on his energy.

His other arm manipulated the water flow, easily thwarting Ah Long's all-out attack, and instead turning the seawater into invisible shackles, trying to squeeze everyone present.

The third arm holds a spinal scepter, the tumor at its tip throbbing, constantly radiating a wide-ranging mental impact, as well as an indescribable domain force field.

This caused everyone to feel as if they were stuck in a quagmire, their movements slowed down, and their energy flow sluggish.

The mental barrier that Deputy Director Luo had managed to maintain was completely shattered by the second impact of the scepter. He groaned and blood flowed from his mouth and nose, clearly suffering serious internal injuries.

"Bang bang bang!"

Li Feng attempted to use his speed to launch a close-range attack, thrusting his longsword towards the head of the shadowy figure. However, the black mist naturally emanating from the skull helmet blocked his advance, and bone powder, carried by the water flow, made it difficult for him to penetrate any further.

Instead, a black ray from the shadow grazed his shoulder armor, instantly turning the sturdy armor gray and brittle.

Zhao Kai roared and swung his axe fiercely, but the shadow easily dodged with its uncanny movements. The scepter then pointed, and a wave of decaying energy invaded Zhao Kai's body.

His face turned pale, and his aura weakened considerably. If Xu Ming hadn't pulled him back in time, he probably would have been torn to pieces by the subsequent attacks.

"No! We're no match for it at all. Its energy level and attack methods are too bizarre!"

Li Feng, panting heavily, shouted into the communication channel, his left arm trembling unnaturally.

Zheng Weiguo's face turned ashen. Although his dark red lightning could offset the erosion of the black rays to some extent, it had little effect on the mental impact, let alone cause effective damage to the shadow itself.

If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.

"Han Ning, are you done yet?"

"You all step back!" Han Ning shouted in a low voice, which carried a strange penetrating power.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly retreated behind Han Ning.

"This monster... its speed in its Molten Gold Tiger form probably can't keep up with its movement speed," Han Ning thought to himself.

"Gah, gah, cluck..."

Chapter 303 The Fire of Life

The monster turned its head, its gaze seemingly fixed on Han Ning, and thick black smoke billowed from its eyes, which were inlaid with two black stones.

It had no intention of communicating with Han Ning. Its third hand, which was in the form of a scepter, pointed towards Han Ning's location and lit up.

Han Ning's face was grim, and behind him, vines danced, stirring up water and carrying his companions into the distance.

At the same time, its body transforms into the form of a star-shaped osprey.

The moment Han Ning transformed into the Starry Osprey, a powerful sense of oppression enveloped the surrounding area.

As the water vines spread, the flowing seawater became an extension of his wings, and the edges of each feather rippled with silver and black waves, smoothing out the chaotic energy currents around him.

Its sharp bird eyes gleamed with starlight as they locked onto the blurry shadow.

"Commander Zheng, protect Deputy Director Luo and the others, and find an opportunity to collect samples!"

Han Ning's voice reminded him.

The voice just fell.

The tumor at the top of the spinal scepter on the palm of the third arm behind the humanoid monster throbbed violently.
