High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

After the ink bomb exploded, the pupils of the Mokra Crocodile seemed to be shrouded in a white mist.

Its left forelimb suddenly twisted into the shape of an octopus tentacle, and the bony spurs in its throat began to tremble uncontrollably.

The next moment, the Mokra Crocodile loosened its grip on the serrated teeth of the Eight-Armed Devourer and began to writhe incessantly.

The giant crocodile's tailbone, shaped like a whip, pierced into the muscles of its hind leg, instantly producing a large number of dark red bubbles that continued to emerge with each twitch of its body.

"It's attacking itself!" Bai Fei's voice came through the helmet, her tone carrying a hint of disbelief and trembling.

Chen Feng: "We have to leave here immediately. This illusion only lasts for 30 seconds; it's impossible for it to kill itself."

Bai Fei nodded and immediately swam out from the underwater rock formations, quickly heading towards the island in the lake.

Both of them knew very well that if the Mokra Crocodile discovered the existence of the insect hive, then Bai Fei and her insect hive core would definitely have no chance of escape. This is why aquatic insectoids often need to be stronger than terrestrial insectoids.

A distance of tens of kilometers would take a very short time for aquatic giants.

Wow! Wow!

Wow! Wow!

Just then, the core of the insect nest, which had transformed into an octopus, creaked and groaned as it approached Bai Fei.

Judging from the violent convulsions of its muscles, it was clear that it had risked its life to get here so quickly.

Wow! Wow!

Wow! Wow!

As the insect hive core emitted a series of warning sounds again, Bai Fei immediately understood and tightly gripped the two protrusions above the insect hive core with both hands.

The core of the hive began to slowly adjust the direction of its body's movement, seemingly preparing for its next sprint to escape.

With a flash of light, all the tentacles of the insect hive core immediately began to whip the lake water rapidly, like dozens of frantically screaming and shaking sea serpents swaying behind it.

However, the core of the insect hive was still too small, and it was still a bit difficult to pull Bai Fei, who was twice as heavy as herself.

So after all that effort, the person and the octopus had only moved a few dozen meters.

Bai Fei smiled as she watched the insect core desperately swimming forward.

"Casey! Hold on tight!!" Bai Fei said.

As soon as she finished speaking, pale blue flames shot out from the nozzles on Bai Fei's battle armor.

Bai Fei grabbed the core of the insect hive and escaped from the dangerous enemy territory at an extremely fast speed.

After Bai Fei left, the giant black eyes of the Mokra Crocodile slowly began to clear again. However, before it could find the Eight-Armed Devourer once more,

A black tide surged forth in an instant! The moment the eight-armed devourer's six pairs of compound eyes focused simultaneously, the ink in the entire body of water began to flow backward, converging towards the body of the Mokra Crocodile.

That black tide was so eerie that it completely enveloped the area in black mist, yet it didn't create the slightest ripple.

It was as if this was a giant cage capable of completely locking up the Mokra crocodile.

......

When Bai Fei and the insect hive core returned to the island in the lake, Bai Fei quickly floated to the surface of the water, while the insect hive core, almost paralyzed, drooped its tentacles over Bai Fei's body.

At this moment, the lake's deep blue surface was like a piece of jade left behind by a giant god, shimmering under the sunlight. The originally calm lake surface was now rippled by Bai Fei's actions.

The sky was amber, and Tyndall beams poured down from the gaps in the clouds above, like golden dust sprinkled by the gods, cutting the lake surface into a dreamlike landscape of light and shadow.

Bai Fei's helmet dissipated, revealing her long brown ponytail.

Her heterochromatic blue-green eyes were directed at Chen Feng beside her.

Bai Fei: "Senior, thank you for your help just now. Without you, we might have been in a lot of trouble."

Chen Feng: "After all, it's a level-elemental behemoth. It's okay to waste a few luck points. I'm just glad you're alright."

Bai Fei: "Senior has a wealth of experience; you were able to deal with a level-elemental behemoth so quickly."

Chen Feng: "It's just that his cheat ability is strong..."

Bai Fei: "What's a 'golden finger'?"

Chen Feng suddenly remembered that Bai Fei had never used the system. The only contact she had with the system was through a dialog box connected to Chen Feng's system, so she naturally wouldn't understand the meaning of "golden finger" or "system".

Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "It's alright, as long as you're alright."

Hearing this, Bai Fei smiled a little embarrassedly, and used her left hand to pull off the insect nest core that was stuck to her body, then gently placed it in the water.

To Chen Feng's surprise, the seemingly exhausted insect core came back to life as soon as it touched water, just like a fish thrown into water.

He immediately swam at an extremely fast speed into the interior of the island in the lake to continue his frenzied battle against the mindless piranhas.

Looking at the quirky insect hive core that was making those "wailing" noises,

Chen Feng and Bai Fei exchanged a glance and then smiled simultaneously.

It was as if the distance between the two had shortened considerably because of the core of the insect hive.

Bai Fei: "The scenery here is really beautiful."

Chen Feng: "It's really good, but I might have to go back now."

Bai Fei: "Senior, is there anything else you need to resolve?"

Chen Feng: "Yes, now is the perfect time to go back... I might be quite busy in the future, but I will come back to see you whenever I have time."

Bai Fei: "It's alright, senior. That was just an isolated incident. We're actually quite safe here."

Chen Feng: "Um... Remember to text me if anything comes up."

Upon hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on Bai Fei's face.

Chen Feng's words made her feel the mutual care of her family, as if Chen Feng was her closest person.

Bai Fei: "Then remember to come visit our new home again when you have time, senior. I reckon the core of the insect hive will have grown quite a bit by the next time you come."

Chen Feng: "It doesn't look small either, haha."

After the two said goodbye, Chen Feng's consciousness dissipated before Bai Fei's eyes like morning mist.

Bai Fei gently stroked the strands of hair that were being lifted by the breeze with her fingertips.

Her gaze began to pass across the lake, which was tinged amber by the setting sun, and landed on the path she had come from—the direction where her insect hive had once been, but which had been completely destroyed by the Iron Slaughter insects.

The gentle smile that had just graced Bai Fei's lips now slowly crumbled away like a shard of weathered pottery.

As ripples began to spread across the lake, Bai Fei began to enter the interior of the island in the lake.

However, her figure seemed to exude a sense of loneliness.
