Gaining a tiny bit of weight every day, my weight is a billion tons.

The moment the mutation was complete,

The entire ash belt seemed to have been muted.

The iron-backed rhinoceros slowly lowered its head.

All four legs stepped back onto the ground.

Its body surface is no longer the rough, keratinous carapace it used to have.

Instead, it was covered with a layer of heavy armor with flowing dark red light patterns.

Every line of the tortoise shell exudes an aura of destruction.

Heat waves emanated from its body.

The gravel within a 30-meter radius began to turn red.

The phantom of the sixth-tier source beast "Ironclad Dragon Turtle" completely merged with it.

This is not a simple accumulation of forces.

It is a forced elevation of the level of life.

Pseudo-fifth order!

A terrifying pressure exploded from its body.

Originating from bloodline, originating from the status of life.

It crushed the nerves of everyone on the battlefield.

"Thump!"

One of the mercenaries couldn't hold on any longer.

My legs went weak.

He knelt down directly on the ground.

His face was ashen white.

My whole body trembled.

Then came the second, the third...

Zhou Ke gritted his teeth,

One arm supporting a military knife,

The knee was bent to its limit.

Veins bulged on his forehead.

He served in the army for twenty years.

He lost an arm.

I have never knelt on anything.

"What the hell is this...?"

The mercenary captain braced himself with his hands on the ground.

My wrist is shaking, my voice is shaking.

Even their teeth are fighting.

In mid-air,

Chu Feng's situation wasn't much better.

He was suspended more than ten meters above the ground.

The cracks on the surface of the frost armor spread rapidly under this oppressive force.

Not just the physical body,

That force was more like an invisible needle.

It pierces straight into the soul.

The energy source became sluggish.

My heart was gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

His fists trembled.

Fifth-tier Platinum-level expert

At this moment, even the thought of resistance was hard to come up!

We can't beat them.

Really can't beat it.

Just as everyone was pinned to death by the oppressive force,

The Iron-Spine Rhinoceros's scarlet vertical pupils had somehow turned into a deep purple...

It was an indifferent gaze, looking down upon all living beings.

Its mouth didn't move.

But a voice rang in Su Ming's mind.

Ethereal, cold, and androgynous

It sounded like it was coming from the deepest part of the earth.

It was as if it had fallen from an extremely high sky.

"Humans, there are even such anomalies as you."

Su Ming stood at the very center of the oppressive storm.

He just frowned.

Both are carbon-based organisms,

But he followed a purely physical mass approach.

The physical laws assigned by the system, and things like bloodline and rank...

They are not in the same system at all.

This kind of empty, intimidating pressure hit him.

It's like throwing cotton onto a tank.

Su Ming raised his hand,

He slowly picked at his ears.

"You're an outcast, your whole family are outcasts!"

The purple vertical pupils visibly paused for a moment.

It seems they never expected to receive such a response.

"Interesting, I'll remember you..."

Su Ming retorted without any politeness:

"Funny my ass."

"It's so weird and annoying."

The Iron-Spine Rhinoceros's purple eyes flickered.

It seems like the time has come.

The next second, the purple faded away like a tide.

The Ironback Rhinoceros's eyes were once again filled with primal crimson and fury.

That lofty consciousness seemed to have temporarily departed.

But what it left behind,

It is a fury powerful enough to burn everything!

It felt like it had been provoked by an ant!

"roar!!!"

call out!call out!call out!

Dozens of energy bone spurs, each half a meter long,

It contained terrifying energy capable of instantly killing a third-tier awakened being.

It shot out like a torrential rain.

This completely blocked all escape space within a hundred meters of Su Ming.

"It's over!"

"I'm going to get riddled with holes now!"

The mercenaries hiding in the distance let out a wail.

"Su Ming!"

Shen Qingci gripped the knife and was about to rush forward.

Big Yellow beside him let out a low growl.

Flames and golden light simultaneously ignited on both heads.

"Don't come any closer!"

A loud shout came from mid-air.

Chu Feng forcefully suppressed the churning in his chest.

He hadn't forgotten who the most crucial person to protect in this mission was!

Shen Qingci had unknowingly reached the edge of the battlefield.

Rushing over there now, let alone saving lives...

Even dying ten times wouldn't be enough!

on the ground,

Zhou Ke also stepped forward and blocked Shen Qingci and Da Huang.

He looked into those cold, clear eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Miss Shen, this level of battle is beyond our ability to intervene!"

Shen Qingci stopped in her tracks.

It did not continue to rush forward.

Just as I was thinking,

Suddenly, I felt a bone-chilling cold all over my body.

Chu Feng had no time to hesitate.

Both hands pressed down suddenly.

The source of icy energy from his entire body poured out.

"Extreme Cold - Ice Shield!"

A semi-circular, transparent ice wall arches up from the ground.

It enveloped all the mercenaries, Zhou Ke, Shen Qingci, and Da Huang.

After Chu Feng finished using this move,

Her already pale face looked even worse.

This battle has dragged on until now.

His source energy has been mostly depleted.

He didn't have much energy left to deal with Su Ming.

On the other side of the battlefield,

Su Ming was weaving through the bone-spiky rain.

[Inertial Drift] Initiated.

The ten-ton body traced an unbelievable Z-shaped trajectory through the dense bone spurs.

Perform a perfect dodge.

In that very instant.

The Iron-backed Rhinoceros moved.

Its massive body sank slightly.

The muscles in the hind legs are bulging.

The ground beneath our feet was cracked inch by inch.

The next moment, it transformed into a dark red afterimage.

Towards Su Ming, who had just dodged the last bone spike but whose body was not yet fully steady.

It charged forward recklessly!

Even beasts know how to seize opportunities!

Bone spurs blocked the road.

Su Ming had just dodged the last wave,

The movement hadn't been fully retracted yet.

The center of gravity is slightly forward.

The Iron-Spine Rhinoceros chose this moment to launch its charge.

A head-on collision.

There's nowhere to hide.

"You beast, stop right there!!!"

Chu Feng let out a furious roar.

Hands move rapidly in front of the chest, forming hand seals.

The body's energy was unleashed without reservation.

"【Extreme Cold - The Ice City】!!!"

Rumble—!

The earth trembled violently.

A gigantic, dark blue ice wall, ten meters high and over three meters thick.

Rising from the ground

It blocked the path of the Iron-spined Rhinoceros's charge!

Visible high-density energy light bands flowed within the ice wall.

Countless sharp ice spikes instantly condensed on the surface.

This is a fifth-tier defensive combat skill of the military.

It is sufficient to withstand continuous bombardment from tank main guns.

It's Chu Feng's trump card.

The moment the ice wall took shape,

Chu Feng's legs went weak.

Kneeling in mid-air.

He endured the pain and drank a dose of military-grade recovery medicine.

Energy reserves are running low.

But he didn't regret it.

As long as it can hold them off for even a second... or even half a second

That would buy that kid time to change direction.

however……

boom! ! !

There was no stalemate.

There was no process of crack propagation.

There was no sawing.

The mighty Ice City stood before the Iron-Spine Rhinoceros.

It exploded directly in the middle.

The three-meter-thick ice wall was smashed into countless flying ice shards.

Ice spikes shot out, crackling as they struck the ice shield.

The Ironback Rhinoceros's charging speed didn't even slow down by the slightest.

Not even a white mark was left on the dark red heavy armor.

Chu Feng was thrown away by the shockwave.

He flipped three times in the air before finally regaining his balance.

Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He stared blankly as the dark red figure emerged from the shattered ice.

Tier 5 top-tier defense

They can't even buy themselves a second.

In the mist where shattered ice flew,

The behemoth was completely unharmed.

There has always been only one goal.

Su Ming.

There's no way to avoid it!

Su Ming's pupils contracted to their maximum size.

At that moment, the blood in my body felt scalding hot and painful.

can't escape,

Then we have no choice but to tough it out!

His arms were muscular and knotted.

A deep metallic sheen appeared on the skin's surface.

[Quality Heavyweight]!

Five times the kinetic energy increase

It is poured into the arms without reservation!

"boom!!!"

A loud explosion erupted in the wasteland.

A tiny, flesh-and-blood body

Head-on collision with a moving mountain!

Su Ming crossed his arms in front of his chest.

The moment I touched the rhinoceros horn

The excruciating pain of shattered bones was palpable.

The immense power of a fifty-ton cannon.

The first attempt failed to shake the opponent.

Absolute power crushing!

That unicorn horn burning with a dark red flame,

It shattered his defenses with overwhelming force.

It pierced his left shoulder hard.

"Pfft!"

Skin harder than steel was torn apart.

The muscles, as hard as alloy, were pierced.

The rhinoceros horn pierced right through his left scapula!

The terrified screams of everyone still echoed in the air.

Chu Feng struggled to get up.

His eyes were filled with despair and resentment.

Zhou Ke and a group of mercenaries,

They were already terrified by the sight before them.

Shen Qingci, standing behind the ice shield,

Not moving at all.

She didn't scream.

There was no crying or screaming.

Even the expression on his face didn't change much.

But those hands gripping the hilt of the "Cold Edge" knife...

It was trembling constantly.

In her cool eyes,

The image of Su Ming being knocked away by that giant beast was reflected in the screen.

The blood drew a blinding arc in the air.

As for what Zhou Ke was shouting,

What are the mercenaries yelling?

The whimpering sound coming from Big Yellow's two heads

All of it turned into blurry background noise.

She stared at the cloud of smoke.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Still no movement.
