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

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Mian and Ye Chenyang had traveled dozens of kilometers and arrived near the ruins.

But the closer Jiang Mian got, the stranger his feeling became.

The ruins no longer seemed to be ruins, but rather a complete base city.

There were pedestrians coming and going, some black and some white, and some signs in foreign languages ​​that she couldn't understand, which matched her impression of a certain country.

However, Jiang Mian knew perfectly well that it was all a lie.

An even more twisted and eerie spiritual force appeared around them.

It tried to alter Jiang Mian's perception, making her feel that the scene before her was more real, and that she could even hear the voices of pedestrians talking.

"Is this...mental pollution?"

Jiang Mian briefly described the scene he saw, pointing to the "city" and saying:

"Brother Ye, did you see that?"

Ye Chenyang extended his senses, his gaze piercing through the mist and landing on the writhing darkness deep within the ruins.

"I saw it, but the format is a bit different."

At this point, Ye Chenyang couldn't help but feel a little strange.

During this period, Jiang Mian's [Radiance] power has increased significantly, and theoretically, his immunity to mental pollution is now almost the same as Jiang Mian's.

But why is it that even when faced with this unknown pollution, I can still see things that are different from what I see?

Is it because of her unique characteristics?

Or is this mental pollution specifically targeted at her?

Jiang Mian had the same question in his mind.

Perhaps it was because she had just opened her senses and encountered too much "pollution" that it had a slight impact on her mental state?

Jiang Mian patted Ye Chenyang on the shoulder, signaling him to put her down.

"Thinking about it won't help, so let's investigate and find the source of the pollution."

"it is good."

Ye Chenyang nodded and approached the ruins with her, casting a purification spell on her as he did so.

The power of [Eternal Day] within Jiang Mian resonated with his own, easily dispelling the illusion before him and instantly clearing his head.

The two landed smoothly and looked around at their surroundings.

Although all the houses collapsed, the density of the buildings still hints at the former prosperity.

The scattered pebbles, eroded by time, have become a handful of quicksand.

The ruins are surrounded by old, high metal walls that are very intact, but compared to the ruins inside, they look like a cage, which seems particularly absurd.

Perhaps because so much time had passed, Jiang Mian couldn't even find a single bone fragment.

Judging from the ruins in front of us, it's really hard to tell how long this place has been abandoned.

Ye Chenyang searched for shadows in the ruins.

Just now I could clearly see some dark things that looked like they were alive, but now they all seem to have retreated into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

"Mianmian."

Ye Chenyang returned to Jiang Mian's side and asked:

"Your senses should be able to penetrate deep underground, right?"

"Hmm... that's possible."

Jiang Mian scratched his head, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Pollution is indeed a bit unpleasant, but her curiosity made her want to find out what was going on here.

Oh well, let her suffer as she pleases; she won't suffer any real harm.

Even if it gets polluted, there's still a portable air purifier by your side.

With this in mind, Jiang Mian made up his mind.

Investigate! Turn this place upside down!

She lightly touched the ground with her toes, and an invisible ripple spread out quietly, mediated by the earth element that permeated the land.

However, this action seemed to trigger some kind of switch.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound suddenly came from deep underground.

Immediately afterwards, the entire city began to tremble, as if something enormous was crawling out from the depths of the earth.

Jiang Mian quickly severed his senses and was pulled into the sky by Ye Chenyang.

"squeak--"

The thing finally broke through the ground and let out a shriek in the direction where the two were.

Along with it came a twisted and enormous spiritual force.

Ye Chenyang stood protectively in front of Jiang Mian, and the dazzling golden light spread out like ripples on water, instantly enveloping the two of them.

"This is... a natural disaster?!"

Jiang Mian peeked out from behind him, looking somewhat uncertain.

The thing below had a thick and long body with faint, snake-scale-like protrusions on its surface, but its head was scraggly and looked similar to some worms.

It felt like the head had been chopped off, and a mouth had just grown out of the cross-section to make do.

Moreover, its "head" is covered with many black tentacles, the forked tips of which resemble human fingers, futilely grasping at the air.

This thing is probably the shadow that Ye Chenyang saw earlier.

Jiang Mian vaguely sensed that this natural calamity infected by Chaos seemed to be influencing her through some kind of invisible connection.

A sharp cry came through the mental shield, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

She squinted, as if she understood what she meant.

"My Lord...My Lord, it smells so good! I want to eat it..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian snorted coldly.

So they thought she was food?

It looks like it's beyond saving, just like the previous "Purgatory". Since that's the case, we'll just have to give it a quick death.

"Brother Ye, let me handle this."

Jiang Mian greeted Ye Chenyang and then immediately activated [Disaster Beast True Form].

The thing below looks intimidating, but it's only at the peak of the sixth rank. Plus, it's countered by her, so it should be relatively easy to deal with.

The enormous dragon body stretched out high in the sky, its scales gradually turning golden.

However, the "worm" was not afraid at all, and instead, black saliva flowed from its mouth.

Only when the thunder struck did it instinctively retreat into the soil, simultaneously unleashing a sandstorm in an attempt to confuse Jiang Mian's vision.

With its low intelligence, even if it knew that Jiang Mian was an elemental master, it still couldn't figure it out during the battle!

No, it's hard to say whether this thing even has a brain.

With a slight thought, Jiang Mian took out the [Heavenly Punishment] from his spatial storage.

As lightning element was infused, the spear began to expand rapidly, soon transforming into a size that suited her current form.

After a brief moment of charging, Jiang Mian threw it out.

[Heavenly Punishment] transformed into a golden flash and instantly disappeared into the sand and dust, followed by a loud "bang".

"Hmph, done in seconds."

She transformed back into human form and moved closer to Ye Chenyang.

"Mianmian is really amazing."

Ye Chenyang gently patted her head and said softly:

"Has the fusion progress of [Annihilation] increased again? How far has it gone?"

"Hmm... around seventy, not bad."

Jiang Mian waved to the distance, and [Heavenly Punishment] returned to normal and was back in her hand.

After defeating [Shura], she did not gain any new traits, but the progress of [Annihilation] experienced an unprecedented surge.

Even now, the upward trend has not stopped.

Moreover, she hadn't absorbed much of the withered remains yet.

Sure enough, killing the top-tier enemies yields the highest rewards. If only there were wild top-tier enemies in this main world…

Suddenly, a crack appeared where the "worm" had fallen.

"what?"

Jiang Mian was puzzled. His [Heavenly Punishment] was imbued with the power of [Annihilation], so that guy should have been reduced to ashes by now.

Could it be that... it has a powerful backer?

They arrived right after I died; the support speed is ridiculously fast.

Beside him, Ye Chenyang's expression hardened, a vague sense of foreboding creeping over him.

He took Jiang Mian's hand, and the power of space was ready to be unleashed.

The crack widened and widened until it collapsed into a massive void.

In the darkness, an enormous warship slowly emerged.

What's truly chilling is that the material that makes up the ship's hull is not metal, but countless twisted bodies of flesh.

On the surface of the ship, countless eyes stared intently at Jiang Mian and Ye Chenyang, seemingly "enthusiastically" inviting them to board.
