Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 167 You're trying to run away before you've even gotten the cheat code?
As the surface of the bronze mirror rippled, the dim, yellowish surface reflected the endless starry sky.

Before Shi Ming could react, in less than 0.1 seconds, dozens of stars in the mirror lit up one after another, forming lines that quickly outlined a huge scorpion-like creature in the starry sky reflected in the bronze mirror!
The moment the scorpion-like creature was completed, the enormous bronze mirror shone like a starry sea, illuminating the entire dark tomb chamber.

not good!

Shi Ming sensed an unimaginable crisis!

hide!
Whoosh!
A scorpion tail formed from starlight suddenly appeared from the bronze mirror, aiming straight for Shi Ming's heart!

In the blink of an eye, the sun-shooting bird swooped down and narrowly dodged the attack.

Undeterred by its first attack, the scorpion tail seemed to have identified its target, quickly adjusting its direction in the mirror and launching three fierce attacks in succession!
The Sun Shooting Ship skillfully evaded the obstacles in the confined space!

While dodging, Shi Ming activated Ice Annihilation.
Three greatswords forged from ice condensed rapidly and flew towards the bronze mirror. As the swords sliced ​​through the seawater, layers of ice shards fell. Strangely, these three extremely cold greatswords pierced through the mirror's deep, starry surface the moment they touched it, as if they had fallen into an endless starry sky.

They all disappeared?

This mirror is some kind of treasure; it's extraordinary.

As Shi Ming pondered this, a complete scorpion body finally crawled out of the bronze mirror. It was a giant scorpion formed from starlight. Its carapace was not the deep black or dark red of ordinary scorpions, but rather seemed to be made of crystal, with an interior as brilliant as the morning star. It had eight tentacles covered with barbs, each as thick as Shi Ming's thigh!

The most terrifying thing was the scorpion's tail that was raised high.

At the ends of each grotesque segment, venomous spikes gleaming with a chilling blue light are piercing back and forth in mid-air, ready to plunge into the chest of their prey at any moment!

Shi Ming frowned.

Sea creatures of Grade A or higher?

The power of ice annihilation!

Click,

As the Ice Annihilation skill was activated, the seawater where the giant scorpion and the bronze mirror were located suddenly froze, just like the day the Titan was sealed, completely freezing that area.

But this move seemed ineffective against the giant scorpion. Ignoring the freezing of the seawater, its body, like light, pierced directly through the ice and pounced on Shi Ming again.

"It has no form!"

It really was formed from starlight.

"Doesn't that mean it can be completely immune to attacks from others?"

"Yet its attacks can cause enormous damage to others?"

The scorpion's attacks were extremely ferocious. As it dodged and weaved, the scene in the tomb was ravaged by the scorpion. The stone bed and pillars, which had withstood thousands of years and decades of seawater erosion, were destroyed in the sweep of its venomous tail. Even the golden coffin that once contained the remains of the Scorpion King III was turned upside down.

Shi Ming pondered whether or not to continue fighting.

It has no form.
This means that Shi Ming will find it difficult to harm it in a short period of time unless he finds a weakness.

Meanwhile, this scorpion clearly had no blood.

This means that even if you use every means to completely kill it, you won't gain any benefits, you won't be able to shed its blood, and you won't even gain any points.

A losing proposition!

After assessing the situation, Shi Ming decided that retreating was the best course of action.
He immediately put away the Sun-Shooting Ship, and using the power of the Tranquilizing Pearl, he leaped into the air and flew towards the entrance of the tomb chamber. The Sun-Shooting Ship was very useful for exploration, but the structure of the pyramid passageway was not suitable for escaping by boat! It was much faster to use his legs.

Bang!
He crashed headfirst into a barrier invisible to the naked eye.

Escape attempt failed!

The starlight barrier had somehow enveloped the tomb chamber.

Apart from energy fluctuations, no physical object can leave, not even the debris caused by the destruction of the scene during battle.

Shi Ming slashed at the barrier several times, but the barrier remained completely undamaged.

Depend on!
Shi Ming made a firm decision.

If I can't get rid of the barrier, can't I at least get rid of the mirror?
Once I deal with the source of that trouble, I refuse to believe that this place can stop me. I doubt that your strange and flashy starlight barrier can still be maintained.
The King-Slaying Sword was drawn once more.

Shi Ming was like a leopard with taut muscles, maximizing his agility. While fighting the formless scorpion and dodging back and forth in the tomb, he found an opening in the battle and slashed at the source of the anomaly.

That ancient bronze mirror.

If you destroy this thing, you, the scorpion that crawled out of it, will also lose your source of power!

Oops.

The King Slayer slammed his fist into the stone wall.

Most of the tomb wall was destroyed. The wall to which the bronze mirror rested collapsed into ruins, yet strangely, it remained intact, suspended between the pyramid and the sea, the dimly lit starry sky shining brightly within it. The blade sliced ​​through the bronze mirror, the stone wall crumbling away, but the mirror remained standing.

invalid?

What on earth is this!
……

……

……

The giant star scorpion was fast and its tail was incredibly cunning, but it was still less agile than Shi Ming and couldn't pose much of a threat to him in a short time. At this moment, in the cramped tomb, Shi Ming dodged the giant scorpion's venomous tail attacks while searching for a way to break the deadlock.

at the moment,

The tomb chamber was blocked by a barrier of starlight, preventing him from leaving.
That strange mirror couldn't be destroyed, but it seemed to be able to be passed through, though Shi Ming didn't want to try.

The mirror reflects a starry sky. If one were to penetrate the mirror and actually step into the starry sky, it would be an instant death sentence. His body could withstand the pressure of the seabed and he could breathe there, but the vacuum environment was nothing like the seabed, offering no chance of survival.

This giant scorpion cannot harm him. Even if it cannot defeat him in the short term, he will eventually be exhausted in a prolonged battle.

Shi Ming made a firm decision.

Since that's the case, don't blame me for flipping the card table!

He took a deep breath, and the crimson markings that had spread from his right arm to his heart began to light up from there. In an instant, all the crimson markings emitted a blood-like light, carrying an unimaginable killing aura. They merged with a portion of the power of ice annihilation and were all transmitted to the King Slayer he held.

The ancient-looking blade of the King-Slaying Blade was also imbued with crimson blood patterns.

"This invisible barrier, though seemingly indestructible, actually still produces some feedback when the King Slayer strikes it."

"I refuse to believe that even with my most powerful attack, I can't break through this barrier!"

Now that things have come to this, Shi Ming can no longer care about anything else.

His base attack power is 93, and with the King of Slaying attack power boost, it's around 50%. So, his combined attack power, including his weapon, is around 140!

Around 140 attack power, multiplied by 10!

1400 attack power, and you still can't solve the problem?

Under normal circumstances, this attack could easily destroy a gold-class drifting ship!
Wow!

Ten times the power!
The blade, carrying a suffocating chill and a murderous aura, swept towards the suspended bronze mirror like a whirlwind, bringing with it an unimaginable storm of icy shards. The storm was filled with a pale white light. Then, the murderous blade light cleaved out from inside the tomb chamber, and the entire Scorpion King Pyramid was completely split in two, like a four-sided pyramid cut open from the inside!
The ancient structure was directly blown apart.

A large amount of brick and stone collapsed.
Heavy rocks stirred up violent sandstorms in this polar region of the yellow sand.

The blade flashed and ripped open half of the pyramid, spreading for three kilometers and forming a solid double-layered ice abyss!

That strike was terrifying!
hiss~
Shi Ming's eyes, mouth, and entire body emanated a chilling aura, and the seawater around him quickly froze.

He moved his body, and the seawater broke apart again.

The cold light dissipated.

The giant crab, formed from starlight, has vanished without a trace.

The ancient starry sky mirror still exists, but the starry sky barrier that originally enveloped this tomb chamber has been broken, and this place can no longer block Shi Ming.

He exerted his strength and shot out of the tomb like a meteor, leaping out through the gap in the pyramid.

In the blink of an eye, they had escaped several hundred meters!
Just then, a voice rang out from the mirror. The voice traveled hundreds of meters and echoed in Shi Ming's ears. He couldn't understand it at all, but he could tell that it was a woman's voice.

"Want to run?"

The ancient bronze mirror gleamed.

The stars inside coalesced into a chain of stars, which caught up with Shi Ming at a speed comparable to light, binding him tightly around his body, who had already leaped more than 300 meters.

Shi Ming struggled several times, but could not exert any strength and could not break free.

In the end, they managed to pull him back.

The voice was lonely and cold, yet grand and layered.

"I have waited so long in this starry sky, and finally I have encountered a human with decent physical fitness."

"You're trying to run away before you've even taken the hanger?"
