The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

A black ray, several times thicker than before, tore through the seawater and crashed in.

Han Ning flapped his wings and swooped down to meet the rays.

Just as they were about to collide, he suddenly folded his wings, his body drawing a strange arc in the seawater, narrowly missing the edge of the ray.

At the same time, it opened its beak and spat out a highly compressed spiral musket.

The spiral musket was protected by a silver-gray energy barrier, and the surrounding water flow could not affect it in the slightest.

The musket struck the black mist surrounding the humanoid monster.

The black mist rippled violently, yet it still couldn't break through the defenses.

However, the monster's shape was affected by the attack, and it inevitably stumbled.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the five feathers on his left wing fell off, turning into five silver rays that disappeared into the dark waters without a trace.

The humanoid monster swung its scepter again, and the seawater suddenly became viscous like glue, attempting to imprison Han Ning.

With a light flap of his wings, Han Ning broke free from his restraints, and instead used the momentum to spin around, his right claw grasping in mid-air.

Just then, the lurking feathers lit up simultaneously, connecting to form a huge energy network that temporarily trapped the humanoid monster within.

"Gurgle..." The humanoid monster made a strange sound like underwater bubbles churning, and the eerie light under the skull helmet fluctuated for the first time.

It seemed to realize how troublesome the Starry Osprey form was, and its main arm suddenly plunged into its own chest, tearing out a pulsating black mass of flesh.

The surface exhibits patterns similar to those of shards of brilliant silver.

The chunks of flesh melted rapidly, covering his entire body and forming a hideous set of bone armor.

"Gah~gah~"

Faced with the incoming feathers, the humanoid monster emitted a trembling sound like a viper flicking its tongue, and its entire "human" began to tremble rapidly at a speed that was barely visible to the naked eye.

"Buzz~"

Then, it moved its feet slightly.

A strange figure had already appeared beside Han Ning.

"Gah!"

Black mist swirled in the humanoid monster's eyes. In an instant, its humanoid body dissipated into a thick black mist, completely enveloping Han Ning.

"We're just waiting for your attack!"

A glint flashed in Han Ning's eyes, and his claws emitted a bright light.

Wow!

A surging flame of life burned from his body, forming a raging fire that seemed to set his entire bird body ablaze!

The blazing flame of life is dark green, exuding a rich vitality.

Along with the water vines released by Han Ning, they all surged dramatically due to the influence of life.

It even began to take root and sprout, branching out and growing more water vines, turning into a huge network, like the large wings of a star-shaped eagle, completely sealing off the three-dimensional area of ​​the humanoid monster from top to bottom, left to right, front to back.

"Gaga gaga, gaga~"

From the deep water, the harsh sound of bones cracking and breaking echoed.

A large amount of black tide mist was scorched by the fire of life.

The humanoid monster finally couldn't hold on any longer, controlling a large amount of black mist to extinguish the flames, and reverted to human form a few dozen meters away.

"Back!"

Han Ning grabbed with his bird claws and pulled back.

Zheng!

A light blue fire blade, more than two meters long, swept past the humanoid monster.

puff!

Like a splash of black crude oil.

The humanoid monster, which had been so menacing just moments before, was instantly split in two, its two halves falling into the sea and disappearing without a sound.

Han Ning flapped his wings, as if about to make a move.

The seawater rippled.

His pupils contracted sharply, his mental energy issued a frantic warning, and he subconsciously manipulated his body to dodge to the side.

at the same time.

A deep purple bone blade flashed across the spot where he had just been hovering, moving at lightning speed.

It was moving so fast that even his bird-like eyes could barely make out a blurry shadow.

"There's another one? Or was the one that just died just a clone..." Han Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

Han Ning did not receive any energy output, so he thought it must be a clone.

A thin line of blood appeared between his wings, turning into drops of blood that rolled into the seawater.

His sharp, bird-like eyes reflected a transparent shadow hidden in the air.

"This thing is too fast; its movement must be restricted."

This thought just popped into my head.

The monster hidden in the darkness disappeared again.

Han Ning suddenly raised the bird's claw.

boom!

The claws collided instantly with the bone blade, creating a large amount of metallic sparks.

In just one encounter, his two bird claws broke.

But during the lull in the fighting, the surrounding vines all stirred at once.

The water vines, each over 30 meters long and covered in sharp thorns, with their emerald green flames burning, contracted with lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye.

The monster's translucent form suddenly appeared out of thin air.

This is a monster with a deep purple body, tattered skin, and hanging rotten flesh. It is only about 1.5 meters tall and looks like a hunchbacked dwarf, revealing a pitch-black skeleton inside.

Its eyes, like a pair of shiny black crystals, coldly stared at Han Ning.

The vines controlled by Han Ning completely entangled it.

"Gah~gah!"

It tried to raise its hand, only to find that its palm was already bound by chains and could not move.

"Sigh~"

The monster emitted a trembling sound like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, and began to tremble rapidly, just like the dismembered humanoid monster from before.

Han Ning will not allow it to run rampant.

"die!"

His pupils widened, and the life force within his body began to explode like gasoline!

A faint, deep green flame of life rises.

Snapped!

The monsters, including those trapped in vine cages, were completely engulfed and burned fiercely.

Wow!

The green flames of life were frantically devouring the monster's energy.

In an instant, it transformed into a three-meter-tall green torch, and its vitality vanished rapidly.

[You killed a severely wounded Black Tide creature; Druid growth progress +2]

"Huh...huh..."

Han Ning only breathed a sigh of relief when the kill notification popped up on the system panel.

Although the battle with the two was extremely brief, it consumed almost two-thirds of his spiritual power.

Gulu gulu~

After the monster died, a silver fragment the size of a fingernail flew out of its body and drifted away into the distance along the dark current.

Han Ning reached out and grabbed it in his hand.

Chapter 304 Containment

The shard of radiant silver in his claws felt icy to the touch, and it was much larger than the two Han Ning had encountered before.

It was almost the size of three fingernails, and the silvery luster flowing inside was even more solid and profound.

Han Ning could clearly feel the immense energy contained within it.

"Only this one?"

Zheng Weiguo swam closer, his gaze sweeping over the fragments in Han Ning's claws, then looking down at the two remains gradually being swept away by the underwater currents.

The two charred halves of the humanoid monster, and the remains of the giant whale that was only half left.

They were all killed by Han Ning.

There were no unusual energy fluctuations on them, nor were any new fragments of radiant silver released.

Li Feng led several team members on a quick patrol of the area and confirmed via communicator:

"Report: No other Radiant Silver fragments found. It seems that all the energy cores inside that monster, including the remains of this giant whale, are concentrated in this one fragment."

This result was somewhat unexpected, yet also quite reasonable.

Han Ning tossed the exceptionally large fragment of radiant silver to Zheng Weiguo and nodded: "It seems so."

All the gains from this operation were distributed according to the members' contribution.
