I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

In the first second, it slashed down with its claw, hooking up a large chunk of the ground, and its body visibly sank into it.

The next second, seeing that the method was effective, it lashed out with its claws several more times, and soon a small portion of it was stuck in the hole.

The next moment, Yan Ziming's attack was ready.

She walked straight to the light barrier. The giant beast in front of her was separated from her by a transparent "wall," which Yan Ziming could clearly observe.

Two sunken, dark eyes, a tongue covered in barbs that occasionally sticks out, and a tail that is both incredibly powerful and incredibly fast—it was so ferocious and terrifying.

However, Yan Ziming only glanced at it for a moment before raising his hand and wielding his sword. Blue-purple streaks of light surged forth from the blade of the Thunder Cutter, accompanied by countless crimson rays, piercing through eternity.

Rumble

A thunderous roar swept across the land, seemingly traversing countless ages, like crashing waves, churning up a thousand layers of water with overwhelming force.

Under Li Haoyi's control, a piece of the crystal-blue light barrier suddenly disappeared, and a torrent of thunder rushed in, engulfing the predator in the very center.

"Roar--"

Faintly, one could hear the predator's agonizing screams. Endless lightning instantly eroded its body, and the intense heat made it suffer unbearable pain.

The crystal-blue light barrier, which had clearly suffered the same attack as it, remained completely unaffected, which made Yan Ziming a little disappointed.

She was eager to know what kind of sparks would fly when her spear of victory met Li Haoyi's 'strongest shield'.

"Elementalization, Thunder Domain, Willpower, and the Spear of Victory all unleashed... that should be enough, right?" Yan Ziming muttered to himself.

Li Hao felt a chill for no reason and couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?"

"No, it's nothing." Yan Ziming shook his head.

If you want to try, there will be plenty of opportunities later. Right now, let's deal with the battle situation first. Yan Ziming doesn't think the predator will die so easily; she doesn't feel like she's hit a vital spot.

Yan Ziming's breathing was slightly rapid; that last move had used up nearly 40% of her energy.

The power of complete unity under elemental enhancement is terrifying, but the consumption is proportional to it.

If she were to unleash that same attack from the Thunder Domain again, it would likely deplete over 80% of her energy, leaving no chance for the predator to survive.

Chapter 113 Forced Lifting

A single strike depletes forty percent of the energy, a considerable amount, yet it recovers at a remarkably rapid pace thanks to the elemental resonance caused by elemental transformation.

When she killed the Hellfire Lizard, she unleashed the Spear of Victory with all her might, blowing off two of its heads, followed by a Radiant Dust attack. It took her considerable effort to finally kill it completely.

Afterwards, she swiftly killed "Thunder Feather," used the free time to recover some energy, and fought the predator for a while. In total, she had less than 30% left.

Thinking of this, Yan Ziming couldn't help but feel a pain in his balls...

Since when did I start having to be so meticulous in my battles? A battle has turned into a math problem!

It seems that I started down this path when I first entered a supercritical state during the Yongjing Campaign.

Of course, this means she has become stronger.

In the past, she wouldn't have dared to use powerful moves like "Radiant Red Dust" or "Complete Unity" so recklessly!

If I had continued to squander my energy like this before, I might have been overwhelmed by exhaustion and attacked to death by other weak mutated species. It would have been shameful to even mention it.

Now, however, she can casually pick up one of the Radiant Red Dust items, yet the energy consumption is still enormous, even more so than before.

However, after mastering elemental transformation, her recovery speed is now far superior to what it used to be, and it won't take her too long to replenish nearly 80% of her energy.

Fifty seconds is neither a long nor a short time.

With this thought in mind, Yan Ziming decided not to be stingy with his energy output.

Although this nearly one minute is fatal in a battlefield where every second counts, if this SS-class predator can be killed, the situation on the battlefield will immediately become much more favorable.

"Leave this place to me. You go and protect the girl I brought, Zhiruo. The fog here was able to dissipate entirely thanks to her."

Yan Ziming turned to Li Haoyi and said, "Even if this predator is still alive, it must be at its last gasp. It's no problem to leave it to her alone."

It would be better to say that it wouldn't have been a problem if she were the only one fighting at the beginning; it would just have been more difficult.

Compared to the predators, Yan Ziming was more concerned about Zhiruo's safety. After all, he had promised to protect them, and he had to keep his word.

"What? I thought you were the one who cleared the fog!" Li Hao said in shock.

When he first saw the dense fog transform into rich lightning elements, he immediately associated this strange phenomenon with Yan Ziming.

"It wasn't me, it was just a cover. You must protect that person well; her importance to the country is no less than Jiang Lan's!"

To make Li Hao take this matter seriously, Yan Ziming deliberately compared Jiang Lan to Zhi Ruo.

Upon hearing this, Li Haoyi's expression turned serious. This person was as important as Jiang Lan, and no matter what, nothing could happen to her!

"Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll take her to explore the other two city walls first."

Li Haoyi was also a decisive person. He dispelled his absolute defense and cleanly and neatly left the battlefield.

Almost eight seconds have passed since Yan Ziming's attack hit the predator.

The Spear of Victory shone brightly, its entire body radiant, its blue-purple light like a sea of ​​thunder from the heavens. Yan Ziming made a throwing motion.

After the absolute defensive light barrier dissipated, the predator, dragging its mangled body, appeared before Yan Ziming's eyes. Almost half of its body was gone, and the latter half had completely disappeared in Yan Ziming's fierce attack.

However, its aura remains strong, posing a significant threat.

"Tch, as expected, it didn't hit the vital point..." Yan Ziming clicked his tongue in displeasure.

I really don't know how it manages to protect itself from being attacked in such a small space. I guess it must be thanks to its strong physical abilities.

"No matter how awesome you are, if you survive after eating my Victory Spear, I'll take your surname!"

Yan Ziming darted out at lightning speed. She was already close to the predator, and she arrived in front of it almost in the blink of an eye.

A sharp whistling sound came as the predator's claws left several dark streaks in the air, their powerful force causing Yan Ziming's skin to sting!

The electromagnetic barrier unfolded, forming a circle that enveloped Yan Ziming. The predator's claws, due to the curved shape, slid directly over it.

puff

The spear of victory pierced the predator's neck, and time seemed to stand still.

Blue-purple lightning burst forth from the spear tip, dyeing its neck blue-purple, then rapidly spreading elsewhere until the entire spear of victory was absorbed into it.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the predator's body rapidly turned red, its dark eyes completely lost their light, and it spat out an extremely hot bolt of lightning before perishing on the spot.

"Huh...huh..."

Yan Ziming was panting slightly, his body still standing proudly in front of the predator's corpse, only trembling slightly. The blue lightning-like luster faded, and the elementalization was directly canceled.

As soon as she was freed from her elemental form, her invincible aura vanished instantly, as if she had transformed from a god into a mortal.

This was quite alarming. Seeing that Yan Ziming wasn't as invincible as she seemed, the surrounding mutated creatures, after a moment of surprise, all pounced on her.

[Holy crap, after the energy was completely depleted, even elementalization couldn't be maintained?!]

Yan Ziming roared inwardly, "The elemental transformation has been dispelled, how can she possibly recover any energy?!"

She was now sore all over and had no strength left, just like after she killed the SS-level tyrant in the Yongjing Campaign—her body was completely drained.

However, time waits for no one. The lower-level mutated species that she had previously regarded as trash were now fearlessly pouncing on her, this 'mortal'.

The saying "a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs" illustrates this point, doesn't it?

"sister!"

Ye Qianxue, who was engaged in a battle with seven A-level mutated species, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Yan Ziming. She had seen Yan Ziming in this state before when she was in Yongjing.

Ye Qianxue unleashed her devastating domain and pushed it to its limit, shredding several mutated species that posed a threat to the team in one fell swoop. In a flash of silver light, she traversed hundreds of meters to reach Yan Zimo's side and support her.

The silver light flowed in front like bubbles, carrying a bit of black air current. The mutated creatures that rushed close were all torn apart, their organs flying everywhere.

"How are you, my dear sister?"

Ye Qianxue asked anxiously, her voice filled with worry.

"Ahem, nothing serious... We messed up... but we also made some new discoveries."

Yan Ziming said breathlessly, "Fortunately, she has already discovered that elementalization will be forcibly canceled after the energy is depleted. Otherwise, if she had made this mistake in a more fatal situation, she would have been really doomed."

A spatial rift tore open, and Ye Qianxue led Yan Ziming to a safe place to rest.

"Qianxue, go back..."

"No!" Ye Qianxue angrily refused Yan Ziming's instructions.

"Big sister, you are completely unguarded right now. If those people from Western countries see you, they might have some ideas."

Yan Ziming was speechless. Being on the battlefield in a foreign land was troublesome. Even when resting in the rear, one had to be wary of friendly forces stabbing them in the back.

This is not an exaggeration; Yan Ziming has always viewed the actions of Western countries with the utmost malice.

After all, capitalists only care about profits, and they will do anything for them.

Her death was the perfect embodiment of their interests.

Chapter 114 The Situation is Set

"call--"

Yan Ziming took a deep breath and found that his energy recovery speed was as slow as a tortoise crawling.
