Chapter 150: Chapter 149: Rampage

"Dad..." Xu Yinyin hid inside the cabin, peering through a crack to observe the situation outside.

Seeing her father, Grandpa Ye, and Ms. Yu Na covered in blood, the little girl remembered her father’s instructions and tried hard to cover her mouth to keep from making a sound. However, her eyes were red, and large drops of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

"I know..." Xu Ming wiped the blood and water from his face, swapping positions with Professor Ye. He leaned in close to Yu Na and whispered, "Nana, come with me."

"Kill... kill... kill... I’ll kill you all..."

It was as if Yu Na hadn’t heard Professor Ye and Xu Ming at all; she simply continued to slaughter the Black Snakes. But the ones she was killing were all ordinary Black Snakes. The Elite Black Snakes, possessing a faint glimmer of intelligence, hid far away, relying on the ordinary ones to drain the humans’ Energy.

Yu Na didn’t care at all. She just kept killing.

"Nana!"

Professor Ye and Xu Ming quickly realized something was wrong with her.

As Yu Na killed the Black Snakes one by one, Energy Balls of various sizes Gathered onto her body.

The originally weak Energy Fluctuations around her began to turn obscure and mysterious. The red veins in her bloodshot eyes gradually morphed into an eerie, spectral blue. In the blink of an eye, both her eyeballs were covered in fine, deep blue lines, looking incredibly bizarre.

Two more streams of Energy Flow entered her body. As if she had finally completed her Gathering, Yu Na’s entire body was suddenly shrouded in a faint blue light. Her hair stood on end from the fluctuations, and two wisps of identical blue flames suddenly flared up within her spectral blue eyes.

She looked just like a banshee straight out of a ghost story!

The Spiritual Fluctuations emanating from Yu Na grew increasingly intense. These violent Spiritual Fluctuations were like hot oil poured over a fire, causing the flames to expand even further.

WHOOSH!

The flames rolled and engulfed Yu Na’s entire body. Behind her, they formed a two-meter-tall flaming silhouette that looked almost exactly like her. The flame shadow’s movements were perfectly synchronized with her own.

"I won’t... I won’t... let that kind of thing... happen again... Anyone who hurts my companions must die!"

Yu Na’s emotions suddenly became intensely agitated. Her Mental Power fluctuated violently once more. The flame shadow expanded to three meters tall.

The flaming Yu Na swept her gaze around the surroundings.

Any Black Snake that her eyes landed on instantly burst into a cluster of spectral blue flames. There was nothing physically wrong with their bodies, but as if their souls had been completely drained, they stiffened and collapsed to the ground.

Yu Na licked her lips, her demeanor turning even more eerie.

"This... Yu Na’s ability has undergone a qualitative change."

Watching this scene unfold, Professor Ye and Xu Ming both revealed expressions of profound astonishment.

However, even with Yu Na’s breakthrough in strength, it was still impossible to save this sinking ship. The decks at the bow and stern, along with the hull itself, had already been chiseled open by hordes of Black Snakes. The ship’s exterior and sails were corroded beyond recognition by venom.

"Yu Na, we have to go! You and I will cover Xu Ming and Yinyin!" Professor Ye shouted another reminder.

This time, it seemed Yu Na had heard him, giving a cold nod.

...

HONG LONG! With another massive crash, a cargo ship fully loaded with supplies and over a dozen ordinary people was struck head-on by the Bone Hammer Leader. The hull snapped in half and instantly capsized!

Before the people who fell into the water could even scream, they were dragged under by the swarming Black Snakes. Blood dyed the entire patch of water red.

"No!" Chairman Wu glared so hard his eyes nearly split from their sockets. There were a full twenty people on that ship!

Looking at this tragic scene and watching his companions continuously fall around him, an indescribable surge of grief and violent rage rushed to Chairman Wu’s head. He no longer worried about exhaustion or holding back. He frantically poured all of his Energy into his bubble ability.

"Explode!" he roared, slamming his hands together.

The tough bubbles that had wrapped around the Bone Hammer Leader in an attempt to slow its movements instantly collapsed inward and detonated!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The violent shockwaves of the explosions sent the Bone Hammer Leader stumbling. Many of its tough scales were blasted away, exposing the flesh and blood underneath. It hissed in pain, temporarily halting its destruction.

But the price for this move was enormous. Chairman Wu’s face turned as pale as paper. His body swayed, and he could barely stand firm before being supported by Yu beside him.

By now, at least five ships had been completely destroyed and sunk. The Awakened had lost nearly a third of their numbers, and the casualties among ordinary people were countless. The surviving ships were mostly damaged, teetering on the verge of collapse under the relentless siege of the snake swarms.

...

On the other side of the battlefield.

"This is bad. The fleet is almost finished."

Catching a glimpse of the fleet’s tragic state out of the corner of his eye, Han Ning felt a surge of blazing fury in his heart. The cannons on his back were just about to fire a beam of Energy to blast the Bone Knife Black Snake into a bloody pulp.

In the next split second, his eyelid twitched.

The imprisoned Bone Knife Black Snake right in front of him actually deflated like a punctured balloon, its skin rapidly going limp. Immediately after, beneath the surface of the water, an identical Black Snake—shrunken by at least a third—abandoned its weapon entirely. It thrashed its body, rapidly closing the distance toward the Bone Hammer Black Snake at an astonishing speed. The water vines had only managed to bind an empty husk.

He thought, "This monster actually knows how to pull a disappearing act. I can’t drag this out any longer."

With a resolute expression, Han Ning locked his gaze on the Bone Hammer Leader wreaking havoc among the fleet in the distance, as well as the Bone Knife Black Snake approaching underwater.

"Snow Cake, move in closer! You go and intercept the one trying to run!"

AWOO!

He changed direction and fired the Rock Gravity Cannon and Rotating Water Cannon he had been charging straight at the Bone Hammer Black Snake.

The grayish-black Gravity Cannon and the deep blue Rotating Water Cannon parted the water’s surface, suppressing the air itself as they barrelled straight toward the Bone Hammer Black Snake. Because there was quite a distance between them, firing both cannons gave the Bone Hammer Black Snake some time to react.

HISS!

It roared, lifting its Bone Hammer horizontally in front of its body, while surging waves of water churned around it to form a Defense.

In the end, it was a fraction of a second too slow.

BOOM!

The Gravity Cannon pierced through its hastily Gathered Water Shield first, smashing ruthlessly into the Bone Hammer. The bizarre Earth Element contained within tore its flesh and blood into countless shredded bits of gore. Right behind it, the Rotating Water Cannon accurately struck its left side, which had been exposed when it lost its balance.

The violent torrent of water shattered its tough scales and muscles, forcibly blasting a hole right through most of the left side of its chest.

HISS-ROAR!

The Bone Hammer Black Snake shrieked endlessly in agony.

Just as its movements stiffened from the excruciating pain, a blinding flash of blue and white lightning cut swiftly across the water’s surface. Moving later but arriving first, Han Ning beat the Bone Knife Black Snake that was trying to support its ally, appearing directly above the Bone Hammer Black Snake’s head.

BZZZ!

In his Thunder Marsh Mink form, Han Ning turned into a high-speed Thunderbolt, frantically flashing around the heavily injured Bone Hammer Black Snake. With every pause, the blazing white lightning Gathered at the tips of his claws blasted into its wounds, joints, eye sockets, and other vulnerable spots.

The berserk lightning Energy wreaked havoc inside its body, charring and carbonizing its wounds. Its remaining right arm spasmed unstoppably from the electricity, and it nearly dropped its heavy Bone Hammer.

"Attack together!"

Seeing Han Ning lock down the severely wounded Bone Hammer Leader, Chairman Wu immediately roared.

The spirits of the surviving Awakened were instantly lifted.
