Shadow Erosion suddenly turned its body around.
My gaze lingered on the burning object.
"Roar--"
Fear, anger, resistance.
The dark liquid surged once more.
It first suddenly shrunk down, then throbbed, and finally, the outer ring of liquid receded.
A creature with six legs connected by a simple skeleton appeared.
Its six legs are all blade-like.
Four of its legs are planted on the ground for support, while the other two are used as weapons, held in front of the body.
Just as it was about to come over, Wang Hai blocked its way.
The forelegs are lifted.
"Clang--"
The intense clang of metal on metal began to resound.
Shen Heng stood there silently watching, without going over to help.
If he gets there, and Shadow Erosion manages to bypass them by abandoning his physical body and heads straight for Wu Cheng, then Wu Cheng, in his current state, will be in some danger.
While it shouldn't be completely powerless to fight back, as long as Wu Cheng can't use his abilities extensively for a short period, it will revert to its previous unmanageable state.
not to mention...
Shen Heng's gaze lingered on the captain.
Thick, white Origin Power covered his fists, and a series of fist shadows slammed towards Shadow Erosion.
If injuries are disregarded, the captain could withstand Shadow Erosion for a considerable period of time without any problems.
Moreover, Shadow Erosion has now lost a significant portion of its body, resulting in a decline in its power.
but...
Shen Heng glanced at Wu Cheng, then turned his gaze to Wang Hai.
He still doesn't understand how the captain managed to control Shadow Erosion and let Wu Cheng Shadow Erosion it.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed continuously throughout the seafood market.
Shadow Erosion wildly swung its two scythe-like legs, trying to kill the human in front of it or make him dodge.
But the humans in front of it were like a stubborn rock, firmly blocking its way.
It blocked its attacks time and time again.
Sometimes, a fist would even slam into it, blasting a part of its body into the ground.
As time goes by.
Shadow Erosion's desire to get past the person in front of her gradually weakened.
It looked up at the culprit in the distance who had caused this situation, and then at the fat man next to the culprit who was constantly releasing flames.
After some thought, its offensive weakened further.
Wang Hai, who had been keeping a close eye on Shadow Erosion's movements, spoke up:
"How about you try eating me?"
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Heng's pupils contracted slightly; he seemed to understand what his captain intended to do.
However, that method...
Shen Heng opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and looking at the captain's determined figure, ultimately did not shout.
On the other side, Shadow Erosion, who had already turned slightly, preparing to leave through the pipe, paused.
It looked at the human in front of it with some confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, do you want to try it?" Wang Hai looked up at Shadow Erosion and said.
"You... do you... have... some... scheme?" His murky yellow eyes stared distrustfully at the humans below.
"What kind of scheme could I possibly have? If you can't finish this, you can just leave. At most, you'll just suffer some more physical damage. Does that make a big difference to you right now?" Wang Hai said in a deep voice.
"This..." Shadow Erosion hesitated and stopped in place.
Its intuition told it that it shouldn't stop.
But today's exertion was too great, and I also suffered a serious injury.
For it now, the allure of a Third Tier being is simply too great.
"How about it, do you want to give it a try?" Wang Hai urged again.
Shadow Erosion did not respond; it stared at Wang Hai in silence.
After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, his cloudy yellow eyes suddenly lit up.
Its solid body seemed to melt, suddenly softening, opening up, and lunging towards Wang Hai.
Wang Hai calmly watched as Shadow Erosion, transformed into a shadow, lunged at him.
A faint metallic sheen appeared on his body, followed by a thin layer of Origin Power covering him.
The pitch-black liquid completely enveloped Wang Hai, and only a vaguely human-shaped figure could be discerned within it.
"Hiss--"
The sound of Corrosion continued.
The protective Origin Power countered the Corrosion of the location.
"Damn it... if you keep resisting me... what am I supposed to do with you...?" Shadow Erosion said angrily.
Eating them directly works well against lower-level enemies.
It's not very effective against creatures of the same level, especially those with similar cultivation levels.
Especially considering that it had just been besieged for so long and had lost so many bodies.
"I only let you try it, I never said I wouldn't resist." A deep voice came from the dark liquid.
"Hateful..."
Shadow Erosion spoke angrily.
After saying that, it planned to leave the human it had enveloped.
If this continues, it might be able to digest this human.
But it's clear that the other two humans wouldn't just stand by and watch themselves digest this human.
The pitch-black liquid stretched outwards, preparing to transform into a cataclysmic force...
The liquid accumulated halfway through its path, as if it had encountered some obstruction and couldn't flow out.
Shadow Erosion incredulously retracted the liquid, then transformed back into a spiked foot and pointed it at the target.
"Ding--"
A faint, shimmering white ripple spread through the air; this was...
" Origin Power... wall?"
Shadow Erosion said with some disbelief.
Its figure stood motionless on Wang Hai's body for a long while.
Then, seemingly realizing something, the dark liquid began to churn rapidly.
Shadow Erosion manipulated its body to begin exploring in all directions.
However, it can only extend outward by less than half a meter before being blocked by the same source Origin Power Barrier.
Seeing this, it became even more frantic.
The spiked foot kept poking around, not even sparing the ground.
But all that responded to it were the ripples spreading outwards.
It was separated between two walls of source Origin Power!
"Damn it... damn it... damn it!!!"
A strong sense of malice emanated from his voice.
Feeling the stability of the Origin Power wall outside, and glancing at the humans in the distance who were frowning and watching them, Shadow Erosion went berserk.
If it cannot get out in a short time, then today may truly be its death!
It suddenly turned its head and looked at the humans who had been exposed.
"Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
Wang Hai did not reply; he simply stared silently at Shadow Erosion.
The pitch-black liquid surged forth once more.
This time, along with the previous Corrosion came the same thing we'd already experienced...
Pain etched into the soul!!
