Chapter 74 The Overlord of the Rotten Swamp
[Level 3 Anomaly detected - Rotten Swamp Overlord (Weakened State)]
[Characteristics: Domain Assimilation, Humus Tentacles, Life Sucking, Mental Pollution]
[Immediate escape is strongly advised!!!]
Level 3 eerie!
The oppressive force that almost suffocated him clearly told him that this was an existence that they were absolutely not capable of confronting at their current level!
At the same time, the "land" beneath their feet began to tremble violently and soften, collapsing rapidly like melted butter!
That wasn't solid ground at all, but a thick layer of silt and humus covering this huge, bizarre body!
"This entire area... is its body!"
Xu Sixing's pupils contracted sharply; he finally understood where that sticky malice came from.
They have been walking on this strange body for who knows how long!
That body of water is its stomach.
The awakening of the Lord of the Rotten Swamp brought with it an earth-shattering power.
The "ground" beneath their feet began to roll back like a "red carpet," and the cars in the convoy, like withered branches and leaves fallen on the red carpet, were directly rolled up by the "ground" beneath their feet and swept towards the center.
This time, the system did not remind Xu Si to eliminate the convoy's presence.
This time, it seems that the Lord of the Rotten Swamp did not rely on his aura to locate the enemy.
[WARNING! Domain assimilation in progress!]
Xu Si felt a cold, viscous force trying to penetrate his body, erode his energy, and distort his senses.
The surrounding mist became almost tangible, clinging to us and carrying a nauseatingly sweet and fishy smell.
"Get on the bus! Everyone get on the bus! Tashan, solidify the ground! Su Su, Xu Si, clear away the approaching tentacles!" Fu Xiaojian roared the order.
Now we have no choice but to take a gamble. Getting out would be ideal, but if we can't...
Xu Si unleashed the full power of Sequence 2, using "Starlight" to protect his body and barely resist the relentless erosion.
The Sword of Punishment in his hand had already slashed repeatedly at the "weird" body on the ground, and the resulting critical hits only stirred up a puddle of dirty water.
Su Su was equally helpless; her fist struck the strange entity in the center, but only caused a few ripples before falling silent.
Is this what a domain is?
Xu Si was preparing to try releasing the 'Starburst'. If this thing exploded, the entire convoy would probably curse him to death.
At the same time, Tashan roared and slammed his fists into the ground, causing the rocks to shimmer wildly as he tried to solidify the liquefied ground.
However, the assimilative power of the swamp's domain was too strong. His solidified rocks were quickly swallowed up and disintegrated, like stones thrown into a swamp, barely managing to support a few small footholds under the convoy.
"Sizzle!"
Several enormous tentacles, formed from murky mud and tangled aquatic plants, shot out from the water and silt like giant pythons, whipping towards the convoy with a fierce wind!
Su Su's eyes were sharp, her figure was as fast as lightning, and with a whooshing sound of her fist, the dark light of [Violent Tiger] flashed, directly smashing a tentacle in mid-air, and the foul-smelling mud poured down on the convoy's heads.
Alright! Xu Si had no more reservations.
He hurled the 'Starburst' directly at the strange, enormous, and still expanding body in the center.
boom--!!!
The deafening explosion echoed across the swamp, as crimson starlight and dark green filthy energy clashed violently, creating towering waves of mud!
The Lord of the Corruption let out a muffled and painful hiss. It was not a sound, but an impact that directly affected the minds of everyone, causing many to feel dizzy and have nosebleeds.
Its massive body convulsed violently, and a huge, festering hole appeared where it had been hit by the "Starburst," from which dark green, viscous fluid gushed out like a fountain, emitting an even stronger stench.
However, the cavity was soon filled with endless black sludge.
At the same time, even more tentacles swarmed in, and for a moment, they seemed endless.
Xu Si and Su Su were caught off guard, and Xu Si's sword light danced with dazzling sword flowers.
However, the convoy remained stationary, and no matter how hard Tashan tried, he could not move it an inch.
The gradually shrinking "land" is swallowing up the convoy and slowly becoming part of its body.
"No! We can't stop it!" Blood trickled from the corner of Fu Xiaojian's mouth as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. The tires of the Mengshi truck spun freely in the mud, unable to break free.
The mental shock just now caused considerable psychological trauma to everyone in the team.
Xu Sixing's eyes darted around, and "Star Track" operated to its limit under extreme pressure.
However, they still couldn't find the strange entity in front of them, or rather, the huge thing in front of them was its true form.
Xu Si was a little anxious. He didn't want his joy to turn into sorrow, as he had only just gained some freedom.
The chill from the depths of his soul instantly cleared his mind; "Ice Heart" would not tolerate him.
Xu Si smiled bitterly; he still couldn't remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, or keep his eyes fixed on a deer running past him.
Oh, and he also has the Extreme Cold Domain!
Extreme cold regions are still regions!
"Extreme Cold Domain, open!"
He let out a low roar and unleashed the power within him that originated from [Ice Heart] without reservation!
Om-!
Centered on him, an extreme cold, far stronger and deeper than when fighting the blood mosquitoes, suddenly erupted!
It no longer just covers the car body, but is like an ever-expanding ice-blue halo, rapidly spreading in all directions!
Crack!
The piercing freezing sounds rang out in rapid succession.
Wherever the domain passed, the churning mud, the lashing tentacles, and even the dark green viscous fluid were instantly covered with a thick, indestructible layer of ice!
The "earth," which had been wriggling like a living creature, trying to devour the convoy, was instantly frozen, becoming as hard as iron!
The entire domain dominated by the corrupt swamp was assimilated and brought to a standstill!
But that's where it ends. His Ice Heart was, after all, just a rare object, not a sequence.
It is fundamentally different from the domain of the [Dominator of the Rotten Swamp].
But at least the convoy was finally able to move.
"It works!" Fu Xiaojian's delighted voice rang out.
"Now's the time! Tashan, clear the way! Everyone, follow Tashan and charge out!" Fu Xiaojian roared hoarsely, the engine of the Mengshi vehicle emitting a roar of unbearable strain.
"Drive it for me!" Tashan roared, his rocky body bursting with astonishing power. He no longer tried to petrify the road, but instead concentrated all his strength in his forearms. His arms, like dragons, pulled the bus directly out of the frozen swamp!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The other vehicles in the convoy were also uprooted.
"Go!" Su Su shouted, her fist sweeping away the ice shards and mud that were trying to reform on both sides, protecting the flank of the tower.
The Mengshi vehicle took the lead and sped off after Tashan, its tires screeching as they crushed through ice and mud.
Pickups and buses followed closely behind.
Xu Si was the last one to arrive, his face as pale as paper.
Maintaining such a large "extreme cold domain" to resist the domain power of the rotten swamp ruler and the continuous regeneration of tentacles is a terrifying drain on his energy.
He felt the power of the stars within him pouring out like a flood.
