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

Chapter Seventy-Five: Insufficient Quantity

Yan Ziming's face darkened as he looked at the creature leaping out from beneath the ice.

This creature that suddenly appeared was ugly and disgusting. Its upper body looked like a clump of foul-smelling blue snot, while its lower body was covered with hundreds of tentacles covered in an unknown liquid, which stretched out transparent "threads" in mid-air.

Like Lee, Squidward—!!!

cough cough.

This slug may be ugly, but the scent it emits is not to be underestimated.

—Between SS and SSS rank!

That means it's just one step away from SSS-level.

"Software... is such a hassle."

Yan Ziming looked at this guy with a bitter face. Generally speaking, most mutated species take pride in their tough bodies and have a great advantage in battles against superhumans.

However, there is a small group that does not follow the usual path, but goes against the grain and takes the path of "overcoming the strong with the weak".

Their physical strength is not as great as those mutant species with strong muscles and hard shells, but their regenerative ability is dozens of times greater than that of ordinary mutant species!

Moreover, they are extremely difficult to kill. Their heads are no longer an invincible weak point; even if you blow them up, it won't help. It's basically impossible to kill them with a single blow.

For example, during the Yongjing Battle, the S-class worm that Ye Qianxue dealt with had its body split in two by a spatial rift, but it glued itself back together the next moment.

If an ordinary mutant species suffered this kind of injury, it would have been dead long ago!

Even if he doesn't die, he'll be half-dead, and it won't be long before he recovers.

To kill it, you must render most of its body inactive in a short period of time; modern weapons have few ways to counter these soft-bodied monsters.

Unless it's a diffusive attack method, such as Crimson Flame.

At that time, Ye Qianxue emptied an A-grade crystal core, melting half of its body in a short time. Then Yan Zimo finished it off, completely charring its body, which was the only way to kill the worm.

Furthermore, based on previous recorded examples of this type of mutated species, their bodies contain highly toxic substances, primarily corrosive acids.

The opponent Yan Ziming is facing now is not an easy one to defeat, no matter how you look at it.

Even for some ninth-tier experts, stopping it is not difficult; it is easy to do so. But to destroy it, it really takes some effort.

This thing is close to SSS level and is much larger than that worm. It would be very difficult for Yan Ziming to destroy it.

Her usual, proud attack methods, such as the Spear of Victory, the Lightning Blade, and the Radiant Red Dust, which specialize in "breaking through the surface with a single point," were all ineffective!

Only by overwhelming it with sheer quantity, by annihilating its body tissues with absolute energy intensity, can it be destroyed.

As the saying goes, "Everything has its counter, just like brine curdles tofu."

Spatial abilities are very effective against this kind of creature. Without Mu Mu, if Ye Qianxue, a high-level spatial ability user, were present, Yan Ziming would have to put in much less effort.

Ice-based abilities are also very effective against this kind of monster. As long as you can freeze it completely or freeze most of it, you can basically win.

Yan Ziming stepped back a short distance and turned to ask Xiao Ze.

"Xiaoze, are you done yet?!"

"Meow--"

"Hurry up, I don't want to touch this guy at all!"

At a speed visible to the naked eye, a thick layer of thunderstorm clouds gathered in the sky, like a terrifying natural disaster, shrouding Siberia.

Then the Thunder Domain was released, turning a thousand-meter radius into a sea of ​​lightning, and Yan Ziming's combat power rose to its peak.

A bluish-purple light appeared at the tip of Raikiri's blade. Yan Ziming spun around, and a crescent-shaped bluish-purple light pattern spread forward in a fan shape, enveloping the tentacle monster (tentative name).

—Cang Li.

Extreme heat erupted in this frigid land, revealing the dark brown surface of the land that was covered by snow all year round. The land in the center of the lightning began to melt into a swamp, and the blue-purple lightning illuminated the white sky.

When Cangli strikes a Tyrant or other SS-level mutated species, it can only cause severe superficial injuries, as it is not an attack specifically designed to penetrate their defenses.

But it's a different story when facing this tentacle monster. At least it can peel off a layer of skin, and most of its body tissues will suffer.

But that's not enough. This is an SS-class tentacle monster. Yan Ziming isn't naive enough to think that he can take it down with a single Cang Li attack.

"call--"

The Thunder Realm surged into the Thunder Cutter like a mud ox sinking into the sea, but in order to keep a trump card, Yan Ziming did not let Mo Xin get involved.

Next, he released the Thunder Domain, raised his right hand holding the Thunder Cutter above his head, and slashed it down at the earth that was still being ravaged by Cang Li.

Another surge of lightning erupted, and the violent energy fluctuations became even more immense. Everywhere one looked was filled with blue-purple light—it was the only thing that mattered.

After two rounds of massive attacks, the Siberian permafrost in front of us was ravaged beyond recognition, with dark red, hot liquid flowing out, a terrifying and horrifying sight.

These are Yan Ziming's two trump cards. The former was created to deal with large-scale damage, while the latter is also extremely powerful. It is a death sentence for weaker mutated species, and it is also a great threat to this tentacle monster.

This is the method used to win by sheer volume.

After doing all this, Yan Ziming began to take stock of his achievements, but his pupils contracted sharply, and his body turned into a ball of light and retreated rapidly.

zizi——

Just now, wisps of blue smoke rose from the spot where she had been, and a large amount of intense acidic gas floated into the air like volcanic ash, but was blocked by Yan Ziming's lightning.

"Damn, isn't this a bit too fast?!"

As far as the eye could see, nearly half of the tentacle monster's body had disappeared. If Yan Ziming were to give his opinion, it would only be considered barely satisfactory.

But that was still considered good. Yan Ziming saw that its body was rapidly regenerating at a speed of one to two meters per second. A large mass of flesh swelled up at the severed limb and grew back in the next moment. In just a short while, it had recovered half of its injuries.

Yan Ziming's eyelids twitched at the sight.

"Is Ozawa not ready yet?!?!"

"Meow—" (Just a tiny bit more.)

Left with no other choice, Yan Ziming had to go and fight again.

As soon as he took a step, a large gust of wind swept over him, and Yan Ziming immediately activated his newly acquired defensive magic—an energy shield.

Bang bang bang bang

Tentacles slapped and adhered to the surface of the energy shield, which emitted a terrifying cracking sound and several cracks appeared on its surface. However, as Yan Ziming increased his output, the shield returned to its original state.

Yan Ziming could feel the energy within his body flowing away wildly, like a dam that had been breached. Even with the enhancement of elementalization, a small portion of it disappeared at a visible speed.

Turning back, several tentacles reached for Xiao Ze again. Yan Ziming objected, expanding the protective shield to a certain extent before removing it, passing through the gaps, and releasing them around Xiao Ze to resist the tentacles' invasion.

Chapter 76 Discovering Shortcomings

In Siberia, there is a place where the climate exhibits extreme anomalies.

Here, thunder and lightning raged incessantly, and endless dark clouds churned in the sky, dispelling the extreme cold and bringing with them scorching heat.

The snow that had been drifting all year round had long since melted, and the snow that drifted in from outside turned into water vapor in less than half a second.

Within the endless sea of ​​lightning, there was a gigantic monster covered in tentacles, constantly being shattered and reborn by lightning strikes, launching an attack on the two petite figures.

Rumble

A bolt of lightning, pure to the extreme, struck down from the dark clouds of a thunderstorm. With the help of nature's artistry, it roared with overwhelming power and exuded the most terrifying aura.

In an instant, it struck the tentacle monster.

呲味——

The part of the tentacle monster that was hit was like ashes from burnt paper, which were gently blown away by the wind and did not continue to regenerate, but continued to erode its body.

No, the flesh and tissue there are still wriggling, but the regeneration is no longer as efficient as before, and it is extremely slow.

"Hmph~~ How about that, isn't Mo Xin amazing?"

"Alright, stop being so vain, keep going and finish the job."

Yan Ziming gently tapped Mo Xin's head, signaling her to continue the lightning strike.

Mo Xin had used this move before during the Civilization Cup, and it almost killed the fake Qiongqi in one go, but Yan Zimo didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

After all, she possessed overwhelming combat power at the time and didn't delve into the significance of that lightning strike.

Now she has seen it for herself.

I spent so much effort to smash half of the tentacle monster's body, only to have it completely heal in less than half a minute, which meant all my effort was wasted.

In contrast, Mo Xin's lightning bolt annihilated part of the tentacle monster's body. Although the area of ​​damage was small, it was effective!

In reality, Mo Xin's combat power was naturally insufficient to harm the SS-level tentacle monster. She only managed to do so by using the thundercloud condensed by Yan Ziming's elemental transformation, and her attack power naturally reached the level of the eighth rank.

"Hurry up, use that thundercloud in the sky as you like, just make sure it takes this guy out."

"Okay!"

Having followed Yan Ziming for so long, Mo Xin, who shares the same origin as Yan Ziming, can naturally utilize this thundercloud, and can even be said to be quite adept at it.

Under her control, bolts of lightning struck down, as if the heavens were enraged, unleashing a thunderous punishment to obliterate the living beings below.

Heavenly Thunder is quite a powerful move, and its frequent use has thinned the thunderclouds in the sky, but the effect is still remarkable.

Even though the tentacle monster was an SS-class monster, it was cleaved in two, its skin torn open, and it burst out with streams of deep blue liquid, similar to Blue Moon, which melted the earth and created many pools of acid.

At the same time, its injured parts were difficult to heal, resulting in low efficiency and a speed that could not compare to before. With these alternating periods of slowness and slowness, its breath became increasingly weak.
