Chapter 254: A Yellow Spring New Recruit Arrives in the Contaminated Zone!

"Good then."

Receiving the affirmative answer, Qin Shi nodded.

His gaze calmly fixed on that tall figure with terrifying momentum.

The life magnetic field pierced through the retro-style gorgeous robe, pierced through the alien body surface like hard black armor, capturing that twisted breath akin to the earth's core magma.

Scorching, burning hot, viscous, rich!

Word after word flashed in Qin Shi's mind.

This was his first time witnessing a high-level servant of the Chaos Camp.

"The essence of life force has actually changed. The erosion of Chaos, truly is all-encompassing..."

Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. This servant creature that had killed its way out halfway, obviously harboring ill intent, faintly released variegated radiance all around, like a mess of paints mixed together, making one extremely uncomfortable.

Hiss hiss!

Because its movement speed was too fast, like a meteor falling from the high heavens, it dragged out a long tail flame.

Causing the already unstable space to show a tendency to collapse, irregular fragments blooming outward one after another, as if stones cracking apart.

"A new recruit from Huangquan Training Camp? Tsk, to have walked here, you should have some skill."

Pompeii revealed a smile. The most obvious characteristic of the Human-Faced Spider Clan is possessing facial features similar to humans, and moreover the men are handsome and women beautiful, with powerful charm.

But they also retain the "aberration" of servant creatures, such as bristles, jointed limbs, compound eyes.

They call this "bloodline symbol," regarding it as a manifestation of nobility.

"Entertain me, little ones. Use all your means to exchange for my happiness and satisfaction."

When Pompeii stepped onto the ground, the large pit smashed out by its own powerful impact slowly approached the crowd.

In his eyes there were no other team members; his cold indifferent gaze only locked onto the short-haired woman.

"Professional-grade, the specialty coefficient seems very high.

Hope you can resist a bit longer."

Pompeii's words were arrogant, his expression contemptuous, completely not putting the Huangquan Training Camp's "new recruits" in his eyes.

"Human-Faced Spider Clan, mid-level servant of the Contaminated Zone. It just reached adulthood recently, its life force is probably about to break through the two hundred point barrier."

The blindfolded Watermelon Head urgently and quickly reported the information from the "analysis."

"The most common traits of Human-Faced Spiders are 'Strong Corrosion' and 'Super Digestion'. They like to regard existences lower than themselves on the food chain as prey.

Powerful life forms are their most favored growth nutrients..."

The blindfolded Watermelon Head, that immature loli face surfaced an extremely heavy color of fear.

The spiritual field condensed by the consciousness sea, Pompeii was like a large mass of asphalt, a huge black dense outline, emitting scorching heat.

To the extent that spiritual power could not approach, like a cup of water splashed onto a steelmaking furnace, it would be directly evaporated into green smoke.

"Boss."

Feeling team member Ama's seriousness, the short-haired woman couldn't help but become solemn:

"I can hold the rear, cover your retreat."

Being in the Contaminated Zone, and fighting a high-level servant on top of that, belongs to an extremely unwise move.

"Retreat?"

Qin Shi slightly shook his head, vetoing the suggestion.

"In my view there's no need."

The short-haired woman's face was anxious, eyebrows tightly knitted. For the hired support team, the type they fear encountering most is that kind of overly confident client.

"Boss, the energy tide of the Black Moon Night will continue to strengthen, moreover, since a high-level servant has appeared, their 'lower servants' will certainly come rushing over."

The short-haired woman completely changed her previous sycophantic image as a lackey, insisting:

"I can stall it. Preserve strength, retreat quickly, this is the best plan I give as Xu Yang Heavy Industry P9!

Boss, if you're unwilling to accept, I can only unilaterally terminate the hiring relationship..."

Pompeii listened with great interest to the communication between the short-haired woman and Qin Shi.

It was also at this moment that it truly noticed the latter.

"Huh?"

Pompeii let out a surprised soft sound.

The Human-Faced Spider Clan possesses a unique sensing talent; they can always easily lock onto the target with the sweetest and most abundant life force.

Among this group of little mice from Huangquan Training Camp, the one most able to arouse "appetite" is none other than the short-haired woman.

Life force purity reaching A-grade, from quality to texture, absolutely top-tier!

But when Pompeii's gaze shifted to Qin Shi, everything changed again.

Almost subconsciously, an unprecedented intense hunger sensation swept through its whole body, making its most primitive instinctual impulse impossible to suppress, bursting forth!

As if every cell had come alive, trembling and urging the body to start eating as soon as possible!

AAA!

Pompeii's gaze went dull, mixed with a trace of disbelief, losing composure as it roared:

"3A-grade! Perfect purity, perfect mortal body, perfect... flesh quality!"

Threads of drool hung at the corner of its mouth, dripping patter patter.

Pompeii's lofty elegant posture vanished in an instant, waist hunched, both hands unconsciously drooping, like a wild dog seeing a meat bone, sticking out its tongue and panting heavily.

"You see, retreat is meaningless. The one it truly locked onto is me."

Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders; around the Stele Panel the Four Pillars, the 【Celestial Human】 Divine Emblem was like a big truck's high beams, piercing so one couldn't open their eyes.

The Pillar Boss's meaning was extremely obvious.

Dry it to death!

"Boss... this commission is really troublesome."

The short-haired woman sighed, tossed down the tactical backpack she was carrying, and prepared to draw her double blades.

If she dragged the fight out to around fifteen minutes, relying on her specialized trait, she could probably catch the opponent's opening.

If she extended it to an hour, maybe she could refresh a "Fatal Weakness"!

"An hour of high-intensity combat would exhaust me to death."

The short-haired woman shook her head, discarding this unfounded thought.

"Xiao Gao, Xiao Zhao."

Qin Shi pressed his palms together, leaning on his saber.

"Take care of yourselves, avoid injury, and the same goes for the two employees."

The short-haired woman wondered if she had misheard; this boss, who was absurdly young, surely wasn't planning to solo the Human-faced Spider, was he?

This High-level Servant was nearly at two hundred points of Qi Life Force, an "Elite Creature"!

"Boss!"

"I'll take over the battlefield; you just handle cleaning up the minions."

Qin Shi pressed his heel into the ground, sinking it slightly, his body leaning forward like an arrow shooting forth!

In less than a tenth of a second, his mortal body roared, and the Four Great Limits surged!

Bang!

Like a thunderclap striking the ground, triggering a massive shock!

Dust and smoke exploded, rising into a straight pillar of Qi!

Hundreds of meters of distance vanished in an instant, space was sliced with a long scar, as if split in half, presenting a strange sight clearly divided above and below.

Like a bright moon blooming, saber light like a Dragon, sweeping across!

Pompeii still had the appearance of a "Hungry Wild Dog," except that when the saber light closed in, the Jointed Limbs hidden beneath his Black Cloak suddenly shot out.

Like a saber wheel dancing wildly!

A great mass of silver light suddenly burst forth, clashing with the Perfect Grade Electric Shock Military Saber, sending out a string of sparks.

Boom!

Qin Shi and Pompeii, charging rapidly, suddenly froze, pausing for a moment, then the air was shattered and torn by rolling thunder!

The raging airflow turned into shockwaves, covering an area of hundreds of meters around them, weeds and rubble all ground into powder!

One patch after another exploded and scattered, merging into the surging yellowish-brown dust and smoke, completely covering the battlefield.

"Captain..."

The blindfolded Watermelon Head Ama indicated worry.

Her Spiritual Field reflected Pompeii; the other's Breath was still rising, as if about to break through a threshold!

And that twisted, chaotic Black Moon, most of the Energy Tide it released was drawn toward Pompeii.

"If it waits for the Fourth Wave Impact, its Qi Life Force will be enough to break through the Point Limit..."

The blindfolded Watermelon Head Ama perceived the outside world with Spiritual Field Power; she "saw" two lines of different colors, mutually occupying the screen.

The Boss was platinum white, dazzling and bright, faintly revealing a trace of pure nobility.

Pompeii was greenish-black, like rolling thick smoke rising from scorched wasteland, filled with destruction and scorching heat.

From Watermelon Head Ama's Spiritual Field Vision, Pompeii almost filled the screen, completely surrounding the Boss.

"Can you contact Aniu? If possible, use Mental Link to share vision with her, help her lock onto that Human-faced Spider, and perform a Super Long-Range Shooting!"

The short-haired woman's face tightened; the real Shaoshou Jian in the Support Team was not herself as Captain, nor Ama acting as "Analyst."

Aniu, who held the six-star "Blood Empress," was the trump card that had saved several high-difficulty commissions from the brink of failure.

"Okay, Captain!"

Watermelon Head Ama pursed her lips; Spiritual Field Light pierced Xu Kong, like a bright torch, driving away the thick black Contamination, searching for the Spiritual Field Mark branded on Aniu.

Just as the Support Team was striving to provide "help," Qin Shi had already exchanged over a hundred blows with Pompeii.

Terrifying wind pressure kept sweeping away dust and smoke, accompanied by "boom boom" sounds, like giants desperately beating drums, causing the entire space to collapse and disintegrate, almost turning into complete nothingness!

And under the Energy Tide similar to turbulence, Qin Shi maintained high-speed movement, like a highly skilled surfer, gliding steadily on the sea surface.

Dozens of saber lights merged into one, the offensive as urgent as a violent storm, chopping the Human-faced Spider Clan's hardest Jointed Limbs into a pulp!

"So hard!"

Qin Shi marveled; among his few combat experiences, almost no weapon or body could directly withstand the Perfect Grade Electric Shock Military Saber.

But Pompeii's four pairs of Jointed Limbs did it.

This was very rare!

Thus, to show respect, Qin Shi silently activated the Second Stage, his mortal body and consciousness closely combined.

The nodes opened by the "Bing Fa Jue" lit up one by one, like stars arrayed, arranged in order.

Hum!

The saber blade trembled slightly, then became unstoppable!

Qin Shi clearly felt that the Pillar-Level Blessing he held, the Perfect Electric Shock Military Saber, was like a living creature, merging with his own flesh and blood.

Hiss!

Saber light sliced through space, faster than the limit of capture, as if bouncing twice before already chopping down!

"The Breath of a Pillar! So it's a Divine Spirit walking? No wonder it has the potential of a 3A-grade ingredient!"

Pompeii's four pairs of Jointed Limbs crackled, suddenly breaking into several segments.

But it was completely unmoved, not even a trace of a pained expression appearing; only unparalleled excitement after being stimulated filled its eyes!

"That's it! Struggle with all your might, squeeze out Flesh Vitality, make the Qi Life Force more concentrated!"

The history of the Human-Faced Spider Clan is nothing but a "Food Encyclopedia."

They developed different "eating secret recipes" targeting different races.

Humans are the most common ingredient, with the greatest disparity in quality, and they test a chef's skill to the extreme.

"Just as you eat foie gras, fixing young geese in narrow cages and force-feeding them over ten kilograms of high-calorie feed every day to make their livers fatter……"

Pompeii's Black Cloak trembled violently, undulating like waves, bathed in the Black Moon's radiance, every drop of Qi Life Force within him activated, converging into a surging ocean.

"Just as you pursue the texture of caviar, preferring to extract roe from living bodies…… countless races between the stars all share a cruel and real food chain."

"Your struggles, your resistance, ultimately only add texture to my meal!"

Pompeii roared these words, his muscles swelling to the limit, transforming from a thin figure nearly two meters tall into a pitch-black "mountain"!

The four severed jointed limbs regrew, thicker and harder than before.

The loose outer robe tore completely, revealing sharp, pitch-black bristles covering him tightly, like armor.

Boom!

Pompeii stomped one foot, and Qin Shi, who had been closing in with his blade, suddenly halted, returning like a swallow, darting back across the sea surface!

The spot he had just occupied was like it had been bombarded by a cannon, leaving a huge crater!

Then Pompeii propelled his body again, his Qi Life Force, nearly at the Point Limit of two hundred, erupting like the power furnace of an aircraft carrier!

In an instant, he vanished from the spot, carrying rolling wind pressure, flickering to Qin Shi's right side.

The four jointed limbs, like blades shooting out and snapping together, grabbed toward the blade-wielding figure.

Killing intent was chilling!

Qin Shi's body rarely felt a chill; this was the most dangerous attack he had ever faced, and under such stimulation, the Qi Life Force of his Mortal Body's hundred bones sublimated once more!

"This is the feeling."

Qin Shi moved slightly, unleashing the Wind Fist Style's "Instant Shadow" body technique, barely escaping Pompeii's "Fatal Blow"!

The Perfect Grade Electric Shock Military Saber was like a coiling long dragon, bringing a waterfall-like great atmospheric wave fluctuation!

The blade slashed the four jointed limbs, the recoil force transmitted along, fiercely tearing muscles and skin membranes!

Pompeii, who had also deployed the "Second Stage," had a body hardness exceeding high-grade alloy; even the Perfect Grade Electric Shock Military Saber could not cut it.

"I said! Your struggles are meaningless, only making your texture better when you're eaten later!"

Pompeii's confidence soared, his body a unified whole, with not a single gap to be found in its dense form, completely unafraid of that terrible saber containing the Pillar Breath.

Without a weapon, relying only on Qin Shi's own Qi Life Force, he truly posed no threat!

This was its judgment.

"What you say is correct."

Speaking, Qin Shi used the recoil of the blade to float out of the battlefield.

"The food chain is the cruelest fact of the great universe. But you seem to have forgotten that Dongxia Humanity belongs to the 'Great Powers'."

His tall figure stood firm in the wilderness; he slowly sheathed the military saber, then immediately deployed a Professional Level Field.

Space collapsed into large chunks, like a cracked mirror surface, becoming inexplicably silent.

As if all media transmitting sound waves were swallowed, even the air currents froze.

Immediately after, an incomparably heavy vast force field spread outward from him as the center.

The originally fragile space was crushed, making the scenes within the battlefield distorted and blurred.

"Humans die when killed."

Qin Shi's tall figure, placed before Pompeii like a pitch-black mountain, was naturally insignificant.

But he strode forward, walking firmly toward the other, yet like another peak rising from the ground!

"Likewise! Not strong enough, and you'll be the one eaten."

Qin Shi gave up the Perfect Grade Electric Shock Military Saber; for the Old Martial Arts school, fighting to the end, the only weapon is oneself.

He clenched his fist and struck out, plain and unremarkable, but under the terrifying value of tenfold amplification, the wilderness seemed to ring with a thunderclap!

Boom boom boom boom boom—

The short-haired woman, Watermelon Head Ama, and Zhao Su in the high robe retreated again and again, withdrawing several hundred meters away.

One dull thunderous boom after another pounded their eardrums.

In the astonished gazes of everyone, Pompeii like a pitch-black mountain seemed to be smashed by a god's giant hammer, going from an evenly matched contest to finally swaying unsteadily.

In contrast, Qin Shi seemed never to tire, simply and crudely throwing punch after punch.

Until the thunder exploded three hundred ninety-seven times!

The unconscious Pompeii thudded down, kneeling powerlessly, his head drooping.

Unified as one, his dense body like steel was covered in cracks on the surface, and inside he was shaken into a mangled pulp.

"Goods like you aren't even qualified to be placed on a plate."

Qin Shi spread his five fingers and lightly pressed them against Pompeii's head.

Crack crack crack!

From the neck bones to the vertebrae, they broke inch by inch; his body was like a towel wrung dry, squeezing out a large amount of blood!
