Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Leaving aside their own high-ranking enemies for the time being, Jiang Mian planned to first locate the high-ranking calamities.

This sea of ​​blood was filled with "evil energy," which significantly interfered with her elemental perception; the deeper she went, the stronger the influence became.

Fortunately, the Blood Sea has little effect on mental strength, so locating Jiang Mian wasn't too difficult.

The entire Blood Sea is divided into shallow waters, deep waters, and core areas.

It is not a real sea, but a special means of containment.

To give an example, if humans entered the "deep water zone" and stepped on the sea, the water would only reach their calves, and below would only be some loose sand and stones.

But for calamity, it is a true refuge.

They can emerge from the depths at any time to attack intruders, and can also retreat at any time if the opponent is too strong.

Those high-level calamities that "oversee the battle" usually reside in the transition zone between deep water and shallow water.

A moment later, Jiang Mian drew a simple distribution map in his mind.

They were far apart from each other and in relatively fixed positions, only moving slightly when Qin Xiao and his group passed by.

If they dare to make a move, or get too close, Yang Xin, who is watching from above, will instantly unleash his power to deter them.

After all, she is an extremely rare space-type, and even in the sea of ​​blood, she is not affected in the slightest when fighting.

Compared to the stifling feeling he experienced in Base City No. 7, Yang Xin can finally unleash his full potential here.

In terms of direct combat alone, the other two eighth-tier humans are no match for her.

Jiang Mian chose a "shallow beach" with fewer calamities, wrapped his whole body in the power of shadow, and tentatively touched the edge of the sea of ​​blood.

"laugh!"

The power of shadow and the malevolent energy immediately repelled each other upon contact.

The darkness tried to swallow the seawater, while the seawater churned violently, trying to push it away.

But before long, the intense reaction subsided, and the two looked perfectly harmonious, as if they were one.

Even though Jiang Mian was completely submerged in the sea of ​​blood, the surrounding seawater remained calm and still.

"The fusion ability of [Formless] is indeed formidable."

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He simply assimilated the shadow power on his body with the sea of ​​blood, and was thus treated as part of the sea of ​​blood.

As long as the person in question doesn't notice me, wandering around a couple of times should be fine.

Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Mian quickly left the spot.

She deliberately took a long detour to ensure her concealment before catching up with Qin Xiao and the others.

……

"Hmm—why does the atmosphere feel a bit strange today?"

Qin Xiao shivered and then looked into the distance.

"Oh? Is the Mist Tide coming again?"

Xiao Shuang followed his gaze.

The fog began to churn abnormally, as if it were brewing something.

The deeper you go into the sea of ​​blood, the more severely the influence of the light barrier weakens, so it's normal to feel a bit strange.

"Too."

Qin Xiao scratched his head, not thinking much of it.

"Let's clear one more wave and then retreat."

"OK."

Xiao Shuang nodded decisively in agreement.

After all, they only brought some of the brilliant crystals given to them by Senior Yang.

Without true [Radiant] Awakeners following them, even those in the pinnacle sequence are quite passive when facing the mist tides, and it would be troublesome if they got lost.

If you're unlucky enough to reach the "deep water zone" of the Blood Sea, even seventh-rank cultivators can't easily ascend to the heavens, let alone them.

The two lowered their altitude slightly, preparing for a big one.

Facing awakened beings of far higher levels than themselves, the lower-level Calamities below were not afraid at all; on the contrary, they were even more excited.

They even spontaneously built a meat tower just to get a little closer.

Their gathering made it easier for Qin Xiao to concentrate his efforts on cleaning them up.

He immediately activated [Return to Origin and Gathering], and the surrounding elements began to converge towards his palm.

However, what they didn't realize was that in the distant sea of ​​blood, a pair of scarlet eyes were staring intently at them.

Its mountain-like body appears and disappears underwater, like an extremely robust human being.

However, the upper body is an extremely exaggerated inverted triangle, while the lower limbs are pitifully short and have no skin. The head is also a distorted shape with a particularly prominent mouth.

Clearly, this is a high-level [trapped beast].

As high-level sequence gatekeepers, the [Trapped Beast] is numerous, and with the blessing of the Blood Sea, it has become the most numerous high-level calamity.

"The pinnacle of humanity..."

The eyes of the trapped beast were filled with a predatory hunger.

But the next second, an extremely sharp aura locked onto it from afar.

Eighth Rank!

Its scarlet pupils contracted slightly, its eyes instantly becoming clear, and it could only sheepishly shrink back.

"Snapped!"

Just then, a black dumpling crashed straight into it.

[The Trapped Beast] touched his waist, but seemed to feel nothing.

The dumpling was instead flung away and slowly landed on the bottom of the water.

It stretched out a thick finger and gently poked at it to see what this thing was.

An inconspicuous black dumpling shouldn't be enough to affect me, a seventh-order calamity, right?

The dumpling was poked and deformed by its fingers, then it swelled up like a pufferfish.

"Bang!"

[Trapped Beast] Before that not-so-bright brain could react, the dumpling exploded without warning!

A dark spatial force instantly enveloped its entire body.

In just five seconds, the darkness quietly dissipated.

The figure of the "trapped beast" disappeared from the spot, leaving only an intact black dumpling.

"Hmm, you're playing hard to get."

Inside the Shadow Cocoon, Jiang Mian raised his chin.

She originally thought that the seventh rank wouldn't be that easy, so she used two domains at the same time, and the effect was quite good.

Of course, the main reason is that this guy doesn't have any spatial resistance.

Since it's so easy, let's find another "trapped beast".

After all, it's a seventh-tier item, so the benefits must be quite good.

……

[World] Inside.

[The Trapped Beast] felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar place.

Looking into the distance, the beach was still lit with soft lights, and a shirtless young man was sitting cross-legged on a rock.

He was surrounded by bright [Radiance] runes, and his body exuded a stimulating fragrance that was hard for it to resist.

Another peak?!

Ye Chenyang's appearance made it subconsciously forget what had just happened.

【Trapped Beast】is essentially a berserker among berserkers; as long as there is a goal in front of them, they never think about anything else.

Its short lower limbs suddenly pushed off the ground, and its huge body burst out with a speed that was disproportionate to its size, rushing straight towards Ye Chenyang!

Killing a human who is not even at the sixth level is enough with just his physical body!

However, Ye Chenyang seemed oblivious, remaining completely still and not even opening his eyes.

Before the trapped beast could even touch him, a deep dragon roar came from the night sky above, which immediately set off its instinctive alarm bells.

The dragon's roar seemed to be a signal.

The surrounding darkness, the elements in the air... for a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was at odds with it.

The surrounding "wind" was like silt, tightly enveloping its body.

At the same time, a bolt of icy blue lightning instantly pierced through its hideous, blood-red body, freezing it in place.

This, in turn, aroused the ferocity of the trapped beast.

Its eyes blazed with a scarlet light as it tried to expand its domain and break free from the oppression of these elements.

But before it could unfold, a thunderclap streaked across the sky.

A black dragon claw silently emerged from the darkness, gripped its neck by the back of its throat, and twisted it forcefully—

"Snap!"

The whole world fell silent, with only the sound of bones cracking echoing in the night.
