Chapter 1359

All of them held up shields, leveled long spears, braved the poisonous rain, and in one charging lunge forward, plunged into the Shi Laimu formation in an instant.

The long spears pierced their dark-green bodies, and the sharp spearheads were immediately corroded into rounded, blunt tips.

A foul smell rose up, but it was contained within the Shi Laimu's bodies—bubbles could be seen forming inside them.

Tang Ruan reminded them: "Everyone, don't tangle with them too long. That venom does heavy damage to equipment—if venom gets on your weapons or shields, shake it off quickly, or it'll keep eating away at them. Sister Gu's spiritual power is limited, so everyone shake it off now."

"Understood!"

In an instant, female soldiers were everywhere shaking off venom.

However, shields and armor could never block 100% of that venom.

Large amounts still splashed onto their faces and seeped through the gaps onto their bodies.

Zhao Chi had adjusted their skin data earlier.

As a result, their skin was too soft, too tender.

Although the look and feel were top-tier, their resistance to this kind of corrosion was somewhat lacking.

Their delicate skin was rapidly burned and devoured by poison, melting into bloody water.

The venom's remaining power continued to dissolve muscle.

The female soldiers felt excruciating pain.

But under the influence of high morale, that pain instead turned into fury.

"Ah! That hurts!"

"Ugh~ so hot, how is it even hotter than the fire just now?"

"I'm bleeding—this venom is corrosive."

"Hmph, corrosive is better than neurotoxic—it doesn't affect movement, we can still fight!"

"True enough, watch this—thrust!"

"Me too—thrust!"

The female spearmen screamed in pain, but now those screams had become roars of rage.

Their figures flashed in an instant.

Deep holes appeared in the bodies of dozens of Shi Laimu.

The female soldiers, filled with fury, thrashed about wildly inside the Shi Laimu.

Soon, over a hundred Shi Laimu were dead.

At the same time, healing light and purifying light kept falling from the sky, along with large amounts of pale-red threads scattering about.

The female soldiers' bodies rapidly recovered.

All abnormal statuses were removed.

Muscles reconnected.

Skin became smooth once more.

Although the venom's effects still lingered, they grew weaker and weaker.

Until they finally vanished.

Fortunately, the Shi Laimu fighting the female spearmen were all 2nd–3rd tier.

The 4th–5th tier ones were all firmly held by Tang Ruan's attention.

Tang Ruan wasn't stupid either.

If it were blades, swords, or even ice spears, she could block them with her shield.

But this kind of venom wasn't suited for taking head-on.

So her eyes narrowed once more, and she popped a handful of Life Pills into her mouth.

"Then come on—let me show you the power of the Flesh-Blood Wedding Dress."

Whoosh~

Before long, within the entire venomous Shi Laimu formation, five Jade-Armored Tang Ruans appeared one after another in different positions.

All the large Shi Laimu began spraying venom at those Jade-Armored Tang Ruans.

The venom they sprayed was even thicker.

It not only corroded, but also slowed and entangled.

Those giant Jade-Armored Tang Ruans were corroded and melted, but the Shi Laimu inside had already been sprayed into dark-green, thick, rotting clumps, and for the moment couldn't struggle free.

The warm-hearted Zhuang Ya saw this and took the initiative to help them break free of their bonds.

Fireballs flew in.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

"Not bad, keep aiming at the center and blast away!"

"Yes!"

The giant fire mages kept bombarding.

Zhuang Ya had already thrown over a dozen bottles of fire oil, and the entire surrounding ground was burning.

But the flames from the fire oil were still too few to support Zhuang Ya's Seven-Orifice Flowing Fire.

Fortunately, Qi Yue had already arrived.

"We're going in! Their venom is corrosive—take them out fast, everyone!" Qi Yue and the blade soldiers quickly engaged, great blades hacking out.

Dark-green slime splashed, burning and corroding the female soldiers' armor and bodies.

But they kept their eyes shut, held up their shields, and hacked away without the slightest hesitation!

Soon, one Xuan Nu Shield after another was corroded beyond recognition.

But those highly venomous Shi Laimu were also counter-damaged until their entire bodies were riddled with holes.

Qi Yue charged to the center of the Shi Laimu.

That giant Shi Laimu was writhing wildly, about to shake off the sticky toxic glue coating its body.

Qi Yue gripped four steel sabers, ready to charge in.

"Qi Yue, leave it to me—its venom is too much. You take the large ones."

Zhuang Ya pressed her twin fire pillars together, the flames swelling larger and directly engulfing the giant Shi Laimu—perfectly embodying the meaning of "Sea of Fire Art."

"Got it, Sister Zhuang Ya. Have you adapted already?"

Qi Yue's great saber swept to the side, and a large Shi Laimu was quickly hacked apart.

Her question left the others completely baffled.

But Zhuang Ya had no trouble at all.

"Adapted? I'm completely numb." Zhuang Ya was helpless.

Qi Yue cut down another one: "Same here. I feel like it's a bit swollen…"

The giant Shi Laimu writhed frantically, spraying venom everywhere.

But Zhuang Ya's great fire didn't pause for even half a second—it kept burning, burning, burning.

"I remember my lord said it was a feeling from before. How could you be swollen?"

Qi Yue split another one open: "Maybe it's an illusion… I've never used this much energy continuously before…"

"Yeah—ow, here it comes again."

The giant venomous Shi Laimu could take no more and was burned by the great fire into a puddle of green sludge.

Sour fumes filled the air.

The female soldiers found it hard to breathe.

But blades and spears never stopped for a moment.

Before long, the venomous Shi Laimu swarm was completely annihilated.

White smoke rose everywhere.

Extremely choking.

The mud on the ground was still being corroded by the acidic slime—no telling how long it would last.

Zhao Chi felt a pang of heartache—after all, it was the land of his own territory.

But he felt even more for those female soldiers.

The female soldiers were already exhausted.

Stamina spent, energy spent.

Quite a bit of their gear had been corroded.

The shields and weapons slung on their backs had also lost a layer to the corrosive acid rain.
