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

The next day, the core of the insect hive had undergone tremendous changes.

On the lake surface bathed in the morning light, a deep blue fungal carpet was spreading out from the core of the insect nest, extending continuously along the surrounding water. The surface of the insect nest core was also beginning to be covered with a translucent mucus film, making it look like a bubble with many blood vessels interspersed on its surface.

Chen Feng walked to the top of a rock and looked down at the core of the insect hive.

Beneath the core of the insect hive, between the twenty-odd tentacles that were churning the lake water, was a gaping maw that opened and closed wildly. The tentacles continuously fed the fish they had pierced into that maw, providing a constant stream of energy to the core of the insect hive.

"Has the core of the hive gained the will to hunt autonomously in just one night?" Chen Feng murmured.

Just then, the clanging sound of armor moving could be heard not far away.

At this moment, Bai Fei had already condensed the Zerg aquatic armor.

On that suit of armor that shimmered with the luster of mother-of-pearl, the edges of each scale were engraved with geometric patterns unique to the insectoid race. Every movement Bai Fei made would cause the armor plates to open slightly like seashells, revealing the flexible biofilm beneath.

What caught Chen Feng's attention the most was Bai Fei's aquatic battle helmet, which resembled a cyborg form that blended mechanical aesthetics. The front of the helmet featured a three-sided cone-shaped lens covered with a liquid metal coating, which refracted color gradients as the viewing angle changed.

Occasionally, a faint blue light would emanate from the edges of the glass mask and the scale armor helmet.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Feng discovered that Bai Fei's aquatic armor seemed to be evolving towards a more perfect form, which appeared to be related to the energy level of the insect hive core.

Bai Fei: "Senior, I'm going to continue searching for energy for the Zerg hive core."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Be careful. If you need any help from me, remember to let me know."

Bai Fei: "Understood."

As Bai Fei's toes touched the water's surface, ripples of energy instantly spread across her insectoid aquatic armor. The bionic gills on the soles of her boots subtly unfolded, and the ice-blue guide channels along the edge of her helmet began to glow with a pale blue light.

Until the lake water overflowed Bai Fei's Zerg helmet.

Suddenly, six diamond-shaped slits appeared on Bai Fei's breastplate, revealing a replica of the giant beast's throat floating inside. The replica rhythmically contracted and expanded underwater, emitting ultrasonic waves that explored the bio-topography.

Bai Fei's entire field of vision has now truly entered strategic analysis mode.

Under the strategic analysis mode, Bai Fei's vision began to see various data presented in biomimetic forms, and the entire underwater world was modeled as a data-driven deep-sea palace.

......

As a snow-white figure swiftly glided across the deep blue lake, Bai Fei swam through the lake at an extremely fast speed.

This time, she wants to search for high-energy fish eggs and use the high performance of her aquatic armor to transport more eggs.

However, just as Bai Fei swept past a swarm of glowing hydroids on the seabed, the strategic analysis system on his helmet suddenly issued a red alert, and the "Leviathan's Throat" inside his breastplate began to vibrate even faster, as if both were urgently trying to confirm the direction of the unknown danger.

Bai Fei paused for a moment, then immediately stopped moving forward and calmly observed the surrounding waters.

Finally, the sensory array on Bai Fei's battle helmet detected the anomaly in the water—three hundred meters to the left front, the lake water was resonating at a frequency that defied the laws of nature, and a blurry giant shadow was slowly enlarging.

Bai Fei tried to activate her battle armor, scanning the outline of the behemoth.

However, at that moment, the giant creature suddenly charged towards Bai Fei at an extremely fast speed.

It wasn't until the creature had rushed more than twenty meters away that Bai Fei's armor was able to fully capture the giant creature's physical characteristics.

[Species of Giant Beast: Mokra Crocodile]

[Special characteristics of this behemoth: 58 meters long and weighing up to 200 tons, its streamlined body is covered with thick scales. Its jaws can open to an angle of 120 degrees, with three rows of serrated teeth on the inner walls, the tips of which are designed with barbs like those of an orca. Its peak bite force reaches 34 tons, easily tearing apart the bones of a mosasaur. When propelled, it generates whirlpools of water, reaching speeds of up to 62 kilometers per hour.]

[Behemoth Habits: It needs to consume biological matter equivalent to 2% of its own body weight every day. When hunting, it uses a "death roll" similar to that of a crocodile. It also has a honeycomb-shaped energy emitter hidden on the inside of its lower jaw. When it bites, it can release a high-voltage arc to stun its prey before swallowing it.]

[Beast Rank: Earth Rank 13]

[Beast Skills: Death Vortex, Death Roll, Explosive Arc]

At this critical moment, Bai Fei's armor released its propulsion energy at full speed, quickly increasing her movement speed to 48 kilometers per hour.

Boom! Sizzle—!

The giant crocodile quickly rushed to the spot where Bai Fei had been standing. The huge impact caused all the silt at the bottom of the lake to explode, instantly plunging that area of ​​the sea into chaos, with countless pieces of mud and gravel flying everywhere.

Bai Fei's heart was pounding wildly at this moment.

Because she knew very well that she was not yet fully familiar with the Zerg armor she was wearing, let alone able to fight against the Earth-rank aquatic behemoth.

"No, we'll run into each other again next time," Bai Fei murmured.

As Bai Fei's body began to turn, she started swimming towards a group of rocks below.

Behind her was a massive figure, barely visible in the darkness.

Once Bai Fei was hidden among the piles of hard rocks, she turned off the blue fluorescent device on her helmet and slowed down the ultrasonic waves emitted by "Leviathan's Throat." Her eyes were fixed intently on the water dozens of meters in front of her, while she flipped through information about the habits of the Mokra Crocodile.

"To defeat it, you must first understand its weaknesses."

Bai Fei comforted herself in this way.

However, at that moment, several water plants beside Bai Fei began to constantly change their floating positions, as if some force was tossing them around.

Meanwhile, the "Leviathan's Throat" component on Bai Fei's armor also issued warnings—two extremely large figures were rapidly approaching, and they were swimming straight towards him in a pincer-like attack!

The next moment, the two huge black shadows collided violently.

The powerful impact instantly swept up countless creatures and soil, causing the darkness to surge like a tsunami and overturn Bai Fei, who was hiding among the rocks.

During the violent collision, the scales on Bai Fei's body sparked with electricity due to the intense friction.

Immediately afterwards, the booming sound of the impact pierced through Bai Fei's armor, causing her body to feel weak and limp, and her ears to ring incessantly.

The suffocating pressure brought by the charge of that behemoth.

It felt as if an underwater mountain range was slowly crushing through Bai Fei's chest!
