"This guy, so tough!"
The sword accurately struck the sea beast's neck.
But the sea beast's body was tougher than expected; the mechanical sword failed to injure it.
Moreover, upon close contact, Jerome discovered that this sea beast was enormous, larger than any he had seen before.
It truly was a Level Five sea beast!
Its size surpassed that of the Abomination, and its defense seemed to be even higher. While the Abomination's combat effectiveness decreased in water, this creature was clearly agile.
As for its attack power...
*Clang!*
While Jerome was analyzing, a loud noise echoed, and the cockpit of the mecha shook violently again.
One of the sea beast's tails wrapped around the mecha's rear and fiercely pierced its back.
"Armor damage 16%, basic equipment undamaged. Damn it..." the middle-aged man beside Jerome cursed before adding, "This guy's poison is potent. The armor is continuously being damaged, 18%, 22%, 29%..."
Jerome said, "Activate high-speed rotation!"
The middle-aged man nodded, and they quickly began synchronized operations.
As they operated, a row of serrations suddenly ejected from the mechanical sword, spinning at high frequency and continuously cutting into the sea beast's body.
The sea beast was finally injured, and blood began to flow.
Jerome seized the opportunity, turned the mecha, and broke free from the sea beast's tail.
However, before Jerome could create distance...
*Clang!*
A tail suddenly appeared in front, piercing into the mecha's thigh.
The armor plate was instantly torn open, and even cables were dragged out, sparking arcs in the sea.
Visibility in the deep sea was low, and Jerome had no idea the creature had more than one tail!
"We're in trouble!" the middle-aged man beside Jerome exclaimed. "The left leg's power system is completely destroyed, no response."
Jerome cursed inwardly. Level Five sea beasts were already difficult to deal with, and combat in water was a weakness for mechs. The situation was clearly dire for Jerome.
Bai Ye, where the hell are you!
What about the promised plan!
What about you being responsible for bombing the breakthrough point!
What about you dealing with the sea beast!
Jerome had mentally cursed Bai Ye's entire ancestry when, at that moment...
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sea!
The lightning descended rapidly from the sea surface and exploded in front of the sea beast.
The intense, bright light made the sea beast extremely uncomfortable, causing it to quickly retreat, moving away from the mecha.
The next instant, Bai Ye emerged from the lightning.
Jerome's eyes welled up with tears. He quickly prayed mentally, "Bai Ye's ancestors, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken so boldly. I was wrong. Please don't blame me."
At this point, Bai Ye turned his head, waved towards the mecha, signaling Jerome to get lost.
Jerome saw Bai Ye's gesture by the light of the energy core. What else was there to say? Jerome quickly fled. With the thrusters engaged, the mecha sank further downwards.
On the other side, the sea beast opened its mouth, spewing out countless white bubbles, and charged forward again.
Without a word, Bai Ye summoned his golden halberd and swung it forward.
Lost Ruins (Summons the lost ruins city in the sea as one's domain for combat. Physical attributes increase by 20% except for intelligence. If summoned in the sea, physical attributes increase by an additional 10%. Sea Soul and Ocean Power effects increase by 30%, and all enemy targets within the domain have their physical attributes reduced by 15%. Duration: 30 minutes)
The domain activated, and the surrounding seawater began to spin wildly, forming a giant water sphere that enveloped Bai Ye and the sea beast.
The next instant, the seawater began to recede rapidly, magnificent ruins emerged, and the ground appeared beneath their feet.
The surrounding seawater was pushed aside, encircling the ruins, forming a square, independent space. Walls of seawater enclosed the area, isolating it.
The domain was formed!
In the sea, the sea beast's appearance was unclear. Now that the water had receded, its true form was finally revealed.
It was a relatively slender sea beast, but its body was enormous, much larger than the Abominations Bai Ye had seen, easily exceeding 150 meters, perhaps even approaching 200 meters.
It had a shark-like head, long limbs with sharp claws covered in hard shells. Notably, the sea beast possessed three tails, each tipped with a戟 (ji) blade-like spike.
At the same time...
This creature was highly venomous!
Behind the sea beast were spikes emitting a greenish glow, from which green liquid constantly dripped.
The moment the liquid touched the ground, it hissed, creating pits and emitting wisps of black smoke. The corrosive poison was extremely potent.
Bai Ye murmured, "Is this why it's called the Poisonous Woman?"
Many sea beasts possessed toxicity. Besides their robust bodies, corrosive venom was a sharp weapon for sea beasts against mechs, capable of rapidly degrading armor plates.
However, no sea beast's corrosive venom was as potent as the Poisonous Woman's. The moment the venom dripped, a section of the ground simply vanished.
Furthermore, the pits formed were quite deep, reaching four to five meters, indicating the Poisonous Woman's corrosive venom had powerful penetration.
However...
If this was the source of the Poisonous Woman's power, Bai Ye wasn't afraid.
Poison...
Bai Ye generally treated it like cola.
As Bai Ye pondered, he suddenly reached out and attacked first, before the Poisonous Woman could move.
The seawater within the surrounding water walls immediately surged, transforming into crescent-shaped water blades that flew towards the Poisonous Woman.
The Poisonous Woman roared at Bai Ye and quickly shifted its body.
Not only was the Poisonous Woman agile in water, but it was also nimble on land, successfully evading the incoming water blades.
However, as time passed and the water blades increased in number, the Poisonous Woman could no longer evade them.
After all, its massive body was a huge target, and mere agility couldn't dodge every attack.
The Poisonous Woman stopped dodging, twisted its body, and swung its three tails, shattering the incoming water blades.
The next instant, the Poisonous Woman roared and leaped onto the top of a ruin, opening its mouth towards Bai Ye.
A large amount of greenish-yellow venom was sprayed out by the Poisonous Woman, raining down on Bai Ye.
However, since it was poison...
There was no need to dodge!
