Cosmic Demon

Chapter 254 A New Recruit from the Underworld Arrives in the Contaminated Zone!

"That's good."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Qin Shi nodded.

His gaze remained calm as he stared at the imposing, towering figure.

The life magnetic field pierced through the retro-style gorgeous robe, through the alien body surface that was like hard black armor, and captured that twisted aura that resembled the molten lava of the earth's core.

Hot, scalding, viscous, and rich!
One word after another flashed through Qin Shi's mind.

This was his first time seeing a high-ranking member of the Chaos faction.

"The very essence of life force has changed. The erosion of chaos is indeed all-encompassing..."

Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. This creature, which had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was clearly up to no good, emitted a faint, colorful glow around it, like a jumble of paints mixed together, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Chi Chi!

Because of its extremely high speed, it fell from the sky like a meteorite, leaving a long trail of flame.

This caused the already unstable space to collapse, with irregular fragments bursting outwards, like rocks splitting apart.

"A new recruit from the Yellow Springs Training Camp? Tsk, they must have some skill to have gotten this far."

Pombell smiled. The most distinctive feature of the Spider-Man race is that they have facial features similar to humans, and the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, with great charm.

However, it also retains the "alienation" of its parent species, such as bristles, arthropods, and compound eyes.

They call this a "symbol of lineage" and regard it as a sign of nobility.

"Please me, you little rascals. Use every trick in the book to make me happy and satisfied."

As Pompeii stepped out and crashed to the ground, the massive crater created by the powerful impact slowly moved toward the crowd.

He ignored the other team members, his cold and indifferent gaze fixed only on the short-haired woman.

"Professional level, the characteristic coefficient seems to be very high."

I hope you can hold out longer.

Pompeii's words were arrogant, his expression disdainful, and he completely disregarded the "new recruits" of the Yellow Springs Training Camp.

"A member of the Spider Clan, a mid-level member of the polluted area. It has only recently come of age, and its vitality is probably about to break through the 200-point mark."

The blindfolded watermelon-headed man quickly and urgently reported the information he had "analyzed".

"The most common characteristics of the human-faced spider are 'powerful corrosion' and 'super digestion'. It likes to regard beings below it in the food chain as prey."

Powerful life forms are their favorite nourishment for growth...

The girl with the watermelon-shaped haircut, her innocent face covered by a blindfold, showed an intense look of fear.

The mental field condensed in the sea of ​​consciousness, Pompeii is like a huge lump of asphalt, a massive, dense black outline that exudes scorching heat.

So much so that spiritual power cannot get close, just like a cup of water poured into a steel furnace will be directly evaporated into blue smoke.

"boss."

Sensing the seriousness of team member Ama, the short-haired woman couldn't help but become solemn:
"I can cover your retreat."

To be in a contaminated area and then fight against a high-ranking member of the family would be extremely unwise.

"retreat?"

Qin Shi shook his head slightly, rejecting the suggestion.

In my opinion, there's no need.

The short-haired woman looked anxious, her brows furrowed. The type of client the hired support team feared most was the overly confident one.

“Boss, the energy tide on the night of the Black Moon will continue to intensify. Moreover, since high-ranking familiars have appeared, their ‘lower servants’ will surely arrive as well.”

The short-haired woman, abandoning her previous sycophantic demeanor, insisted:
"I can hold it off. Preserve our strength and retreat quickly—that's the best solution I, as a P9 from Xuyang Heavy Industry, can offer!"
Boss, if you're not willing to accept this, I'll have to unilaterally terminate the employment relationship...

Pompeii listened with great interest to the conversation between the short-haired woman and Qin Shi.

It was at this moment that it truly noticed the latter.

"what."

Pompeii made an unexpected soft sound.

The human-faced spiders possess a unique sensory talent, allowing them to easily lock onto targets with the sweetest and most abundant vitality.

Of all the little mice that came out of the Yellow Springs Training Camp, the one who could best stimulate their "appetite" was the short-haired woman.

With a purity level of A, it is absolutely top-notch in both quality and taste!
But when Pombell's gaze shifted to Qin Shi, everything changed again.

Almost subconsciously, an unprecedentedly intense hunger swept through its entire body, causing its most primal instincts to burst forth uncontrollably!

It was as if every cell had come alive, trembling and urging the body to start eating as soon as possible!
AAA!

Pompeii's eyes were glazed over, tinged with disbelief, and he roared in a fit of rage:
"Grade 3A! Perfect purity, perfect mortal body, perfect...meat quality!"

A trickle of saliva hung from the corner of his mouth, dripping down.

Pompeii's haughty and elegant demeanor vanished in an instant; his back hunched, his hands hanging limply at his sides, like a wild dog that had spotted a bone, panting heavily with its tongue lolling out.

"You see, retreating is pointless. The person it's really targeting is me."

Qin Shi shrugged. The four pillars surrounding the monument panel, with the [Heaven and Man] emblem, resembled the high beams of a truck, blinding people.

The meaning of the pillar boss is very clear.

Kill it!
"Boss... this request is really difficult."

The short-haired woman sighed, threw down the tactical backpack she was carrying, and prepared to draw her twin swords.

If the battle lasts for about fifteen minutes, she will likely be able to find an opening in her opponent's defenses, thanks to her specialized abilities.

If the time is extended to an hour, perhaps the "fatal weakness" can be revealed!
"After an hour of intense fighting, I was exhausted."

The short-haired woman shook her head, dismissing the unfounded thought.

"Xiao Gao, Xiao Zhao."

Qin Shi crossed his hands and leaned on his military sword.

"Take care of yourselves and avoid getting hurt. The same goes for the two employees."

The short-haired woman wondered if she had misheard. Could this ridiculously young boss be planning to take on the Spider-Man by himself?

This high-level familiar is an "elite creature" with nearly 200 points of life force!
"boss!"

"I'll take over the battlefield; you're in charge of dealing with the servants."

Qin Shi pressed his heels into the ground, causing them to sink slightly, and leaned his body forward, shooting like an arrow!
In less than a tenth of a second, the mortal body roared and the four elements vibrated!
Bang!
Like a thunderbolt striking the ground, it caused a massive tremor!
The smoke and dust exploded, rose, and turned into a straight column of air!

The distance of several hundred meters passed in a flash, and the space was cut with a long mark, as if it were split in two, presenting a strange scene with a clear distinction between the top and bottom.

Like a bright moon blooming, the blade flashed like a dragon, sweeping across!

Pompeii still looked like a "hungry wild dog," but when the blade approached, his limbs, hidden under his cloak, suddenly sprang out.

Like a whirlwind of blades!
A large burst of silver light suddenly exploded, colliding violently with the perfect-grade electric shock army, sending out a series of sparks.

boom!
Qin Shi and Pang Beier, who were rushing forward at high speed, suddenly froze, paused for a moment, and then the air was shattered and torn apart by the rumbling thunder!
The raging airflow transformed into shockwaves that covered an area of ​​hundreds of meters around, crushing weeds and pebbles into powder!
One after another, clumps of debris exploded, scattered, and then merged into the surging, yellowish-brown smoke and dust, completely obscuring the battlefield.

"team leader……"

Ama, who was blindfolded and had a watermelon-head hairstyle, expressed his concern.

Her mental field reflected Pompeii, whose aura was still rising, as if it was about to break through a certain threshold!
Moreover, the energy surges released by that distorted and chaotic black moon were mostly drawn to Pombell. "If it waits until the fourth impact, its life force will be enough to break through the two hundred-point limit..."

Blindfolded, watermelon-headed Ama uses her mental powers to perceive the outside world. She "sees" two lines of different colors crowding each other in the picture.

The boss's color is platinum, dazzling and bright, subtly exuding a sense of pure nobility.

Pompeii, on the other hand, was bluish-black, like the billowing smoke rising from scorched wasteland, filled with destruction and heat.

From the perspective of Ama with the watermelon head, Pompeii almost fills the entire frame, completely surrounding the boss.

"Can you contact Ah Niu? If so, use the mental link to share your vision with her, help her lock onto that human-faced spider, and launch a long-range shot!"

The short-haired woman's face was tense. The real trump card in the support group was neither herself as the captain, nor Ama, who acted as the "analyst".

Ah Niu, who possesses the six-star "Blood Queen," is the trump card that has repeatedly saved high-difficulty missions from the brink of failure.

"Okay, Captain!"

Watermelon-headed Ama pursed his lips, his spiritual light piercing through the void like a bright torch, dispelling the thick black pollution, and searching for the mark imprinted on Aniu.

Just as the support team was trying to provide "help," Qin Shi had already fought Pang Beier more than a hundred times.

The terrifying wind pressure swept away the smoke and dust, accompanied by loud "thump-thump" sounds, as if giants were desperately beating drums, causing the entire space to collapse and disintegrate, almost turning into a complete void!
Under the near-turbulent energy tide, Qin Shi maintained high-speed movement, like a highly skilled surfer gliding steadily on the sea surface.

Dozens of sword lights joined together, their attack as rapid as a torrential rain, slicing the toughest limbs of the human-faced spider clan to shreds!
"so hard!"

Qin Shi praised that in his limited combat experience, there was almost no weapon or body that could directly withstand a perfect-grade electric shock saber.

But Pompeii's four pairs of limbs did it.

This is very rare!

Therefore, to show respect, Qin Shi silently initiated the second stage, closely integrating the mortal body with consciousness and mind.

The nodes opened up by "The Art of War" lit up one by one, like stars arrayed and arranged.

hum!
The blade trembled slightly, then became indestructible!

Qin Shi clearly felt that the pillar-level blessing he held, the perfect electric shock saber, seemed to be alive, merging with his own flesh and blood.

Chi!
The blade flashed, tearing through space with speed exceeding the limits of capture; it seemed as if it had only bounced twice before slashing down!

"The aura of a pillar! So it's the presence of a deity! No wonder it has the potential to be a 3A-grade ingredient!"

Pompeii’s four pairs of limbs snapped and broke off into several pieces.

But it remained completely unmoved, not even showing a trace of pain; its eyes were filled only with unparalleled excitement after being stimulated!

"That's it! Struggling with all your might, squeezing out every last drop of life force to make it even more potent!"

The history of the Spider-Man race is a veritable encyclopedia of gourmet food.

They have developed different "food recipes" for different races.

Humans are the most common ingredient, but also the one with the greatest difference in quality, making them an extremely challenging ingredient for chefs.

"Just like when you eat foie gras, you confine young goslings to narrow cages and force-feed them more than ten kilograms of high-calorie feed every day, making the foie gras even fattier..."

Pompeii's cloak and robes trembled violently, rising and falling like ocean waves, bathed in the glow of the dark moon. Every drop of life force within it was activated, converging into a surging ocean.

"Just like how you like to use live egg extraction in order to pursue the taste of caviar... there is a cruel and real food chain among the countless races in the starry sea."

Your struggles, your resistance, in the end, only serve to enhance the flavor of my meal!

As Pombel roared this sentence, his muscles swelled to their limit, transforming his slender figure, nearly two meters tall, into a pitch-black "mountain"!
The four severed segments regenerated, becoming thicker and stronger.

The loose robe was completely torn apart, revealing sharp, black bristles that covered the area tightly, like armor.

Boom!
Pompeii stomped down, and Qin Shi, who had been approaching with a knife, suddenly stopped and, like a swallow returning, rushed across the sea!

The spot where he had just been was now a huge crater, as if it had been bombarded by artillery fire!

Then Pombel pushed his body forward, unleashing his life force, which was already close to the two hundred-point limit, like the power plant of an aircraft carrier!
In an instant, it vanished from its spot, carrying with it a surge of wind pressure, and flashed to Qin Shi's right.

Four pairs of segmented limbs, like blades that launch and then close, reach out to grab the figure wielding the knife.

A chilling murderous intent was palpable!
Qin Shi felt a rare chill run through his body. This was the most dangerous attack he had ever faced. Under such stimulation, the vitality of his mortal body was sublimated once again!

"That's what it feels like."

Qin Shi moved slightly, activating the Wind Fist Style's [Shadow Strike] movement technique, narrowly escaping Pompeii's "clutch attack"!
The perfect-grade electric shock saber, like a graceful dragon, created a waterfall-like atmospheric fluctuation!

The blade cleaved through the four pairs of limbs, and the recoil force traveled along the shaft, violently tearing apart the muscles and skin!
Pompeii, who has also entered the "second phase," has a body hardness that exceeds that of high-grade alloys, and even a perfect-grade electric shock saber cannot cut through it.

"I told you! Your struggles are pointless; they only make you taste better when you're about to be eaten!"

Pompeii's confidence soared. His dense body, so perfectly integrated that not a single gap could be found, was completely unafraid of that terrifying military knife that contained the aura of a pillar.

Without weapons, Qin Shi's vitality alone poses no threat whatsoever!

This is the judgment it made.

"You're right."

As he spoke, Qin Shi used the recoil from his blade to gracefully withdraw from the battlefield.

"The food chain is the cruelest fact in the universe. But you seem to have forgotten that the Eastern Xia people belong to one of the 'powerful powers'."

His tall figure stood firm in the wilderness. He slowly sheathed his military knife and then activated his professional-level field of attack.

The space, which had collapsed into large chunks like a cracked mirror, became inexplicably quiet.

It was as if all the mediums through which sound waves were transmitted were swallowed up, and even the airflow was frozen.

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly heavy force field spread outwards from him.

The already fragile space collapsed, distorting and blurring the scene within the battlefield.

"A person dies when they are killed."

Qin Shi's towering figure appeared insignificant compared to Pompeii, who resembled a dark mountain.

But as he strode forward, resolutely walking towards the other person, it was as if another peak had risen from the ground!

"Same here! If you're not strong enough, you'll be the one who gets eaten."

Qin Shi abandoned the use of the perfect-grade electric shock saber. In the end, the only weapon the old martial arts faction had to fight with was themselves.

He clenched his fist and threw a seemingly ordinary punch, but with the terrifying tenfold increase in power, it was as if a thunderclap resounded in the wilderness!
Boom boom boom boom——

The short-haired woman, the watermelon-headed Ama, and Zhao Su in his tall robe retreated again and again, backing away to a distance of several hundred meters.

One dull, deafening thud after another pounded against their eardrums.

To the astonishment of the crowd, Pompeii, as dark as a mountain, seemed to have been smashed by a giant hammer from a god, going from an evenly matched contest to swaying precariously in the end.

In contrast, Qin Shi seemed tireless, simply throwing punch after punch in a brutal and relentless manner.

When the thunder roared 397 times!

Unconscious Pombel collapsed to his knees with a thud, his head hanging low.

The body, which was as solid and dense as steel, was covered with cracks, and its interior was shattered and broken by the shock.

"Someone like you doesn't even deserve to be on a plate."

Qin Shi spread his five fingers and gently pressed down on Pompeii's head.

Clap la la!

From the neck to the spine, everything was broken inch by inch. The body was like a towel that had been wrung out of water, squeezing out a lot of blood!
