Please be my partner.

That is, the seed is planted in the mortal stage before contact with the extraordinary, and then with the help of the power of the Devouring Swamp itself, it grows in the confrontation, and finally becomes the master of this forbidden object.

Of course, in order to defeat the Devouring Swamp using its power, you must also carefully hide yourself, lest the Devouring Swamp overturn the table and cut off the source of your trouble before you grow up. Just thinking about it will make you realize how difficult it is.

But if he really succeeds, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the protagonist of the novel!

The Devouring Swamp quickly extinguished the Dark Prison Dragon's Breath, but the power consumed was far beyond its expectations.

The power of the Purgatory Dragon itself is highly effective against spirits, and the Dark Hell Dragon builds on this power and takes it to a higher level in terms of erosion and spread.

Countless souls are buried beneath the Devouring Swamp. It can be said that any legendary strongman would feel his scalp tingling when seeing it, but in the eyes of the Golden Hair, these are simply piled up fuel.

It can be said that Golden Retriever is naturally the nemesis of the Devouring Swamp!

"Roar!~"

After another breath of the Dark Prison Dragon, the sky was filled with flames.

Now, any spark from the golden retriever can cause a large fire, and it is having a lot of fun.

Of course, the Devouring Swamp would not tolerate Golden Hair's wanton destruction. The souls buried in the entire swamp are the source of its power. Every soul lost means that its strength will be reduced.

Dozens of thick mud tentacles rose from the swamp and wrapped around the golden retriever, trying to capture it.

Golden Hair flies across the sky with his superb flying skills, and his sharp dragon claws and dragon language magic can easily smash the tentacles.

However, after those tentacle fragments fall into the swamp, they will be transformed into energy and absorbed by the Devouring Swamp. At the same time, new mud tentacles will be continuously produced. The Devouring Swamp does not need to consume too much energy to maintain this offensive for a long time.

The golden retriever soon noticed this, so it immediately changed its tactics and no longer entangled with the mud tentacles. Instead, it spewed out a breath of Dark Prison Dragon Breath whenever it got the chance.

The Dark Prison Dragon Breath is too restraining for the soul, so every time the Golden Hair spit out the fire, it must immediately put it out, otherwise once it spreads, its losses will be immeasurable.

At this point, the legendary battlefields of both sides fell into a stalemate.

Chapter 216 Sublimation

Mellen observed the battle between Iron Spike and Golden Retriever.

Although there seemed to be some problems on Spike's side, Mellen was not worried. Spike had always been stronger when facing a stronger opponent, and he was experienced in many battles. Mellen believed that Gouzi would be able to solve the problem smoothly.

More importantly, Spike has long been at the critical point of becoming a legend. All he lacks is an opportunity. Even if there is no opportunity, with his accumulation, he will definitely become a legend in as short as three months or as long as half a year.

Spike's state at this time was quite strange, as if he had vaguely grasped the opportunity.

Not to mention the Golden Hair's side. Although the Devouring Swamp seems huge in size, it has no way to deal with the nimble Golden Hair. On the contrary, every breath of the Dark Prison Dragon from the Golden Hair can destroy part of the foundation of the Devouring Swamp.

In addition, there are some low-level battles. The mechanical puppet wolves, whose strength has reached the limit of the second level and some of their attributes are even close to the third level, are hunting down the remaining members of the Devouring Council.

After experiencing the impact of falling meteorites and the weakening of dragon might, as well as witnessing the legendary strongmen of the Devouring Council and even the Devouring Swamp, they all fell into a disadvantage in the battle, which was equivalent to suffering a double blow to their spirit and body. They could only exert 20% to 30% of their full strength, and naturally they could only flee in embarrassment.

Members of the Devouring Council are all calling for help from the Devouring Swamp, because in their opinion, even if the Devouring Swamp is currently in a passive position, it is still a very simple matter to save them.

Faced with the call for help, the Devouring Swamp remained unmoved, because after calculation, it found that whether those Devouring Council members survived or not would not have any impact on its current situation, so it had no intention of expending even a tiny amount of energy for rescue.

Mellen was observing and at the same time on guard. After all, the Devouring Swamp was very famous and had been rampant throughout the Blue and Green Realm for so many years. Its background was unfathomable.

Therefore, he still had a lot of cards in his hand that he hadn't played, just in case.

Just as Meren was thinking, the battlefield below changed again.

Spike continued to grow stronger during the battle, and seemed to have finally reached some critical point. He swung out his golden claws to shatter the burly man's illusory weapon. At the same time, golden light spread out, directly crushing the palm of his hand holding the weapon.

Although the dark green blood spraying from the burly man's wrist stuck to the broken bones and flesh like spider silk in the next moment, trying to repair his palm, it was too late just because of this moment's delay.

The lightning patterns in Spike's eyes suddenly jumped out with dazzling golden electric light, and his body was covered with golden armor, and his strength increased again.

"Boom!~Boom!~Boom!~"

After several consecutive attacks, the sturdy man's arms and half of his body were directly blown up.

Seeing that he only needed a few more attacks before Spike, who was in explosive form, would take him down, the burly man finally couldn't help but shout, "Hurry up!"

At the same moment, the alluring woman stopped the ceremony in her hands and shouted softly, "Here it comes!"

The power she had been accumulating since the beginning of the battle suddenly erupted, and a huge spider-man appeared out of thin air.

The upper body of this spider-man is that of a beautiful woman, with disheveled hair and unclear features, but one can vaguely see madness and evil in her scarlet eyes, as if she hates everything in the world. Her smooth abdomen originally had proud curves, but the densely packed and irregularly arranged spider compound eyes on it are chilling.

The lower body is a huge black spider with strange dark green patterns on it. The existence of these patterns will continuously release some kind of mental toxin. The eight spider legs are covered with dense hairs, which looks extremely creepy.

The spider-man let out a silent roar, and dark green illusory mist sprayed out from its tail. Then the mist condensed into silk threads and wove into a web, covering Spike.

Spike keenly sensed the danger and immediately gave up the victory that was about to be achieved and retreated to avoid it.

At this moment, the burly man roared to the sky, and the green substance that had been accumulating in Spike's body but had not shown any effect before became restless at the same time. In an instant, it turned into green light and froze it in place.

Although the green light was quickly cut and torn apart by the golden light, this delay made Spike unable to avoid the cover of the dark green net and he was directly covered.

The big web contained a highly corrosive toxin. The moment it came into contact, signs of dissolution appeared on the outside of Garuru's steel mecha, and burn marks also appeared on Spike's body.

This scene can be said to be extremely shocking. You know, there is no need to say much about Spike's defense. He is at the limit of the third level and has the blessing of the power of the earth. In terms of defense alone, he has already stood at the peak of the third level. Garuru has analyzed the properties of many metals, and the toughness and resistance to elements have almost exceeded the limit of the third level, which is even above Spike.

It was so difficult for both of them to resist that an ordinary third-level cultivator would probably turn into poisonous water in a moment.

Golden light rose around Spike, and he was about to use the same trick to tear apart the net that imprisoned him, but compared to the previous green light, the net was obviously much stronger.

Moreover, this dark green web was not just one. Spider-Man was still spewing dark green smoke to transform into a new web, covering Spike layer by layer. In just a moment, he was wrapped like a dumpling.

After completing the beautiful counterattack, the burly man and the charming woman did not relax, but looked at Melen in the sky. They always knew who the real culprit was.

The alluring woman said hurriedly, "Sir, you've seen the toxicity of the spider demon. I bet you don't want anything to happen to your pet, do you?"

Mellen was slightly stunned and speechless. Was he being threatened? Was he going to be killed if he didn't obey?!

Huh? Why does this sentence sound so awkward?!

Some boring thoughts flashed through Mellen's mind, and he asked, "So, what do you want?"

The charming woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Please let us go, sir!"

The burly man repaired his body while coming to the charming woman.

"Oh?" Mellen said with a leisurely smile, "Let you go? Do you think that's possible?"

The charming woman said, "Sir, you may have misunderstood. I meant to ask you to let us both go."

After these words were spoken, Melen had no reaction. The Devouring Swamp, who was fighting with the Golden Hair, suddenly turned around and stared at the charming woman and the burly man with a very cold look.

The seductive woman and the burly man trembled slightly, but did not change their words. Instead, they waited for Melen's answer.

In fact, their original plan was naturally not like this. The secret ritual of the charming woman was extremely powerful. As long as they accumulated enough power, they could gain a huge advantage in the battle.

After they deal with Spike and have their hands free, they can always play a greater role, whether it is to help the Devouring Swamp or to deal with Mellen's new tricks.

But firstly, the performance of this Star-Picking King was too unfathomable. He himself did not take action, and there were two pets beside him watching the show. Although the depth of the fox-like pet could not be seen, the legendary aura of the other red pet was unconcealed.

Moreover, the red pet's aura was so fierce that it was like their natural enemy, which made them terrified. But in front of the Star-Picking King, it was like a well-behaved and cute animal. This strong contrast made them even more frightened.

Secondly, they were chilled by the Swamp's inaction in watching their men die.

Although the Swamp of Devouring was restrained in the battle with the Golden Retriever, that was only because the Golden Retriever was too flexible and its power form restrained the Swamp of Devouring. In fact, the Swamp of Devouring still had some strength left. It could have saved its subordinates by just moving its fingers, but it did nothing.

Therefore, even though the threat of the Devouring Swamp was fully revealed at this time, they remained unmoved.

The Devouring Council and the Devouring Swamp have been together for such a long time. Although the bond between the two has become deeper and deeper, their understanding of each other has also become deeper, and they have made sufficient preparations.

The Devouring Swamp does have the ability to drag members of the Devouring Council to be buried with it, but the alluring woman and the burly man also have the means to sever this connection. Although the price to pay for doing so is extremely heavy, they are able to make a choice when the necessary moment comes.

Mellen looked at the charming woman and the burly man with great interest and asked, "Even if I promise to let you go now, will you believe me?"

The charming woman lifted her long hair and said with a charming smile: "Of course we hope that the adults can give us more protection."

As she spoke, she took out an ancient scroll and said, "This is the Abyss Contract. All you need is for you to promise to let us go and not cause us any trouble in the future, and we will release your pet immediately."

"Of course, we only want to protect ourselves, and we will never become your enemy in the future."

"Please reply as soon as possible. After all, your pet is in imminent danger!"

Melen looked at the ancient scroll. Judging from the abyss aura flowing on it, it was indeed a rare abyss contract.

In order to fight against the Abyss World, the Knights of Dusk collected almost all the Abyss-related knowledge that could be found in the Blue and Green Realm. As Mellen, he could naturally read it at will, so he was not unfamiliar with the Abyss Contract.

The Abyssal Contract is a powerful contract witnessed by the Abyss. It is similar to the Messenger Contract in essence, but is much more domineering.

If it is the Abyss Contract, it is indeed a safe choice.

but……

Mellen looked at the two men calmly, with no intention of accepting their conditions. As for his life?

Mellen looked at the cocoon that bound Spike, a smile on his face, and said to himself, "Finally, it's coming."

"Buzz!~"

The calm cocoon suddenly shook, and a faint golden light flowed on its surface.

The expressions of the charming woman and the burly man changed immediately. The former hurriedly controlled the spider-man to spit out more mist to condense into a web, covering the big cocoon.

With this action, the Spider-Man's shadow became more blurred, but the charming woman could not care less at this time.

Time moved forward slightly, and Spike and Garuru were covered by layers of large nets. These nets were stuck together, and even Spike's golden fighting spirit could not shake the whole. Soon they lost all ability to move.

At this time, ancient runes lit up on the steel mecha that Garuru had transformed into, and an ancient, desolate, and heavy breath, as if it had been deposited deep in the river of history, slowly floated out.

Faintly, an inexplicable existence seemed to cross endless time and space, projecting a ray of power over.

But at this moment, Spike suddenly interrupted Garuru's action. The mechanical dog hesitated for a moment, and out of trust in the big dog, the ancient runes on the steel mecha slowly extinguished and disappeared, and the inexplicable breath also receded.

Spike's spirit gradually became serious, even causing Garuru to cancel the steel mecha form and rely on himself to withstand the current danger.

Spike's body was filled with golden fighting spirit as he continued to fight against the toxin, but he was losing ground. The poison burned his hair, corroded his flesh, invaded his blood vessels and nerves, and began to spread to his bones.

As time went by, Spike gradually became weaker, and his life force wavered like a candle in the wind, and it seemed that it would go out at any time.

However, the golden fighting spirit that permeated Spike's body became more and more dazzling.

In the mysterious realm, most supernatural powers are relatively materialistic. The more they accumulate, the stronger they will naturally become.

But there are also some idealistic elements among them, and the will to fight is one of them.

The fighting spirit is illusory and should be classified as a kind of spiritual momentum, but when the fighting spirit is condensed to a certain degree, it can show its substantial side, just like the sublimation of power.

As long as the fighting spirit in the heart has not been extinguished, the fighting spirit will continue to surge out, even transcending the limits that life can bear.

Just like Spike at this moment!

When Spike's life breath became extremely weak, the overwhelming fighting spirit in his heart was like a raging storm, finally breaking through the limit and bursting out.

The golden fighting spirit was so powerful that it spread from the inside out, defeating the poison like a landslide.

Every inch of Spike's flesh, blood, and bones was emitting a golden glow. The injuries corroded by the toxin were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye and were constantly being strengthened.

This is a sublimation of the level of life.

The golden fighting spirit suddenly became sharp, moving slightly around Spike's body, and the big net that bound it was suddenly cut apart.

Spike's pupils turned pure gold, interwoven with lightning-like patterns. A majestic and domineering aura emanated from them, shocking the soul.

"Woof!~"

A golden arc of electricity exploded in the void, and Spike's figure turned into a golden afterimage and flashed by.

By the time the seductive woman and the burly man reacted, Spike had already begun to slowly restrain his aura.

Two golden claw marks crossed each other, encompassing the spider-man in mid-air and the previous two.

The spider man was instantly dispelled by the golden fighting spirit that came with the attack.

The seductive woman and the burly man looked down at their bodies. Their chests and abdomens had completely disappeared, and most of their internal organs were damaged.

Under normal circumstances, although injuries of this degree are serious, it would not be difficult for them to recover with some effort. But now it is completely different. The golden fighting spirit is not only preventing the recovery of the injury, but also further aggravating it.

More importantly, their spirits were also severely damaged to the same extent, and their remaining thoughts were dragged into an endless nightmare, unable to escape.

With a loud bang, the two men exploded at the same time and died.
