Wasteland Border Inspector

Like a whirlwind, slaughtering wildly in the water.

The giant figure showed none of the clumsiness expected of such a size, moving through the water like a whirlwind, brandishing two three-meter-long crab claw iron whips with fierce momentum.

Each swing whipped up spiraling spray and a bloody storm.

There was no need to aim for weak points; as long as the ordinary crab-men were brushed by the iron whip, their shells would crack open, flesh and blood smeared everywhere. If hit directly on the head, their brains would burst, dying on the spot.

Crash.

The river water was being continuously churned.

The blue-green surface was quickly covered with a thick scent of blood, blotches of red exploded from beneath, spreading downstream with the current.

This scene was like the "mowing down" graphics in an unrivaled video game. Even if occasionally, a stray crab-man swung its claw at him, Cheng Ye was unfazed.

These ordinary attacks couldn’t even break the Obsidian Battle Armor, let alone the golden shell beneath and the silver dragon fish totem. At most, it could incite a faint silver glow from the totem, absorbing the impact, without even making him take a step back.

One hundred, three hundred, five hundred!

The crab net blockade on the water’s surface was finally torn open, a massive gap, dense numbers of crab-men corpses drifted away with the river current, while the blue-green figures underwater visibly dwindled.

Cheng Ye emerged from the water, gasping for breath, his nose full of the pungent metallic scent.

The odor mostly originated from the crab-men, but some was surprisingly from himself.

Maintaining the five-meter giant form wasn’t without cost. Besides the debt to be paid after the Coexistence State, the muscles and tendons inside his body were under immense strain, with several blood vessels already ruptured amid the violent combat.

"Wish I had a skill that could absorb the enemy’s life force..."

Cheng Ye thought to himself.

He could clearly feel his physical strength rapidly depleting, sustained only by the constant supply of life force from the wild grass totem in his heart.

Carefully calculating the time, the giant form had already persisted for ten minutes, far exceeding his initial expectations.

To hold up under such intense combat far exceeded Cheng Ye’s original expectations.

He turned his head towards the dock and noticed that Luokuke had somehow also entered the water, cautiously slaying the stray crab-men near the water entrance.

Compared to his wildness, Luokuke restrained his aura, specifically targeting the isolated ones.

His movements were cautious yet inefficient, having taken down less than fifty in the same ten minutes.

"So satisfying!"

Cheng Ye couldn’t help but mutter, compared to the Scorching Eagle Coexistence State, the berserk power brought by the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse allowed him to vent his inner repression more.

The gloomy sky, the underwater threats, the worries about the future—all vanished in this battle, leaving only a sense of exhilarating ease.

"Watch out, the tentacles are coming!"

Just as Cheng Ye was momentarily dazed, Luokuke suddenly burst out from the water, shouting a warning.

"Tentacles?"

Cheng Ye’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately dove back underwater, gripping the iron whip in both hands.

As expected, the Demon Eye Sponge underwater finally made a move, with hundreds of thick tentacles wriggling like venomous snakes, attacking directly towards his direction, densely packed, almost sealing off all escape routes.

If it were earlier, Cheng Ye would have undoubtedly used acceleration energy to rush back to the dock and evade.

But now.

"Bring it on!" Not only was he unafraid, but his fighting spirit soared.

Screech!

A sharp, high-pitched eagle cry suddenly exploded in his ears.

His vision went black, as the scene from the Spiritual Body Space clearly manifested in his mind.

The Shrinking Earth Giant Louse occupied most of the space, emanating a faint green glow, while the Flame in the remaining space burned fiercely with a fiery red, like lava!

The two forces neither clashed nor merged into brown, but intertwined like two streams, forming a red and green intertwined energy rope, injected into his body through the flow of consciousness.

Between his eyebrows, the totem of the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse slightly shifted downward, as a golden Flame mark quietly surfaced, resting right in the center of his forehead.

Instantaneously, a more unique force surged through his body, the golden shell tinged with fiery red patterns, even the crab claw iron whip in his hand acquired a layer of searing heat.

"Die!"

Cheng Ye fiercely kicked off the water’s surface, acceleration energy exploding behind him, stirring up several meters high splash.

Facing the thickest tentacle, nearly three meters in diameter, he neither dodged nor retreated but charged straight at it with momentum.

Rising explosively, he used all his might.

Buzz!

Seeing Cheng Ye rushing, the eye on the tentacle suddenly flickered, with pale purple light exploding, as all the tentacles gathered simultaneously, forming a semi-transparent energy barrier, blocking Cheng Ye outside.

Can it be stopped?

Boom!

Cheng Ye swung the iron whip with both hands, pounding the barrier fiercely. The immense recoil made his tiger’s mouth numb, nearly causing the crab claw iron whip to slip from his hands, but the purple barrier remained unscathed.

Couldn’t break the defense?

No.

In the next second, a fiery red pattern flashed across the tip of the iron whip, with molten-like sparks falling onto the barrier.

Even underwater, there was a distinct "sizzling" sound, as the barrier was instantly scorched into a large hole!

Through the hole, Cheng Ye clearly saw the unmistakable fear in the enormous eye.

Was it the Flame providing the Eagle-Killing Fire, and... the force of the Earth Fire?

An idea flashed through Cheng Ye’s mind, but his body didn’t pause for a moment, slipping through the hole like a fish, his massive body arching slightly, arms swinging around, with the two iron whips carrying a whistling wind, smashing straight towards the eyeball!

Smack...
