Chapter 213: Chapter 181 This thing is not poisonous_2

The structure of its mouth combined with its body size means its mouth isn’t going to be that fragile.

Bang—Zheng Yichen landed after his high jump.

Although most of the impact was absorbed by Zheng Yichen, Ahn Qi still felt a jolt of discomfort, "Can’t you be a bit gentler?"

"Then shall we go back?"

"...Never mind, if this thing is attracted to Hazy City, it would cause extensive damage." Ahn Qi stopped fussing about the hard landing; after all, the call she made before coming here was to take over this extraordinary event, since she was the first to discover it. There was no need to wait for Hazy City’s Environmental Adjustment Bureau to step in.

The Ahn family could handle the scene on their own; however, doing so hinged on ensuring no additional disturbances to the city.

In a world of Level 4 strength, the emergence of such massive creatures was quite common: "Can you handle it?"

"I can try." Zheng Yichen set Ahn Qi aside, and she watched his back with an expression that grew slightly peculiar.

If Zheng Yichen still had his rugged demeanor, there would be no problem with that statement, but now he looked too young. He had grown a bit over time, but the increase was limited. However, his hair had been getting longer...

"Is there a problem with your hair?"

"Ah? It’s not a big deal." Zheng Yichen reached back to touch the back of his head. His hair now could strangle someone, it could be cut off, woven, and used directly as rope. Katrina had to fold his hair whenever she tied it, for if left loose, it would drag on the ground.

Initially, Zheng Yichen thought he would cut his hair once it reached a certain length, but as it grew excessively long, the nature of the matter changed. He too had become curious about how long it could grow in everyday life, since no one but others would envy his volume of hair.

"...All right then, just be careful," Ahn Qi said, vigilantly scanning the surroundings while swapping out ammunition for her weapon.

No sooner had she spoken than she saw Zheng Yichen, unable to wait any longer, charging toward the sandworm. This world had no special powers, so flight and such still relied on technology. However, Zheng Yichen’s physical strength was sufficient for a massive leap.

The air around Zheng Yichen shimmered slightly, and the hair meticulously pinned by the girl burst free. From behind, Ahn Qi thought she saw an unidentified creature; his spiky long hair made him resemble a giant sea urchin.

Zheng Yichen had already kicked the edge of the sandworm’s mouthpart, and the explosive impact caused the creature’s head to heavily smash into the ground. The head of the sandworm, lying on the ground, writhed, its mouthpart churning like a grinder, rapidly gnawing a gap into the earth.

It was evident that its insect-like body was riddled with more holes, as the earth it had chewed away spewed back out of them. Meanwhile, the sandworm had already burrowed back underground.

Its target was Ahn Qi, still on the surface.

When Ahn Qi saw the bulge fast approaching on the ground, she realized something was wrong. She tried to run, and she wasn’t slow, but her pace was no match for the burrowing speed of the sandworm.

A swifter figure arrived behind Ahn Qi.

Zheng Yichen’s foot stomped on the ground, creating a large crater. The sandworm, headed for Ahn Qi, was impeded, its rear half forcefully squeezed out of the ground, and a piercing friction sound ensued. It seemed the sandworm was unable to howl.

The sandworm, having dug itself out, lunged at Zheng Yichen. Its immense mouthpart swelled like inflated muscles, expanding nearly half its diameter. Zheng Yichen had planned to charge into the sandworm’s body, but after catching sight of Ahn Qi, he grabbed her and escaped the attack range of the sandworm.

Ahn Qi was completely shaken.

Her combat abilities were far beyond normal human standards, and she possessed some extraordinary abilities.

However, her special power and physique were very balanced, so she could never withstand sandworms to the extent that Zheng Yichen could, not to mention she lacked certain body-related abilities that Zheng Yichen possessed.

In environments with a low energy level, it’s not that some extraordinary abilities can’t be used.

Rather, it’s that extraordinary energies are difficult to wield, and abilities related to the body not only remain unaffected by Environmental Adjustment but may even be enhanced, such as a werewolf’s transformation, the transformation abilities after Genetic Modification, and the strength Zheng Yichen is currently displaying, which greatly enhances his own physical strength.

It enabled him to pummel the sandworm, making it struggle on the ground, but it seemed unable to breach its defenses.

Zheng Yichen’s attacks were very effective, each punch could shatter a layer of the sandworm’s tough shell, causing a reddish-brown liquid—its blood—to seep out. The amount of blood was minimal; considering the sandworm’s size, Zheng Yichen’s current attacks were like a tiny insect stabbing at someone with a needle.

A needle can cause minor pain and make people cry out in pain, but killing someone with a needle would depend on professional skills.

At the moment, the likelihood of Zheng Yichen scraping the sandworm to death seemed rather slim.

Compared to Zheng Yichen’s strength, she chose to stay silent and just watched him perform on his own.

Zheng Yichen, pounding at the sandworm with his fists, was quietly sensing the changes in his attacks. Ahn Qi’s thoughts were not too different from the situation Zheng Yichen encountered.

The sandworm’s large size provided it with resistance to Zheng Yichen’s attacks, and though Zheng Yichen’s strength was formidable now, each punch he delivered resulted in direct damage, while the sandworm’s size meant it could absorb a lot more of this kind of damage.

His attacks did not include the so-called explicit energy or implicit energy, or anything deeply associated with the body.

Impacted by the world’s environment, the Blood Asura martial art that he had not practiced for long wasn’t very useful. As the battle progressed, he could feel that Blood Sacrifice Burst was still usable, but the enhanced damage was also up close.

Blood Combustion Return to Origin was also available, but lacked any significant display of power, belonging to the type that temporarily strengthened physical strength at the expense of one’s own health, and the extent of this enhancement was outrageous, noticeably greater compared to the rise provided by the Blood Asura martial art.

After roughly testing these factors, Zheng Yichen altered his attacks. The sandworm’s constitution was incredibly resilient, its blood was viscous but not poisonous, its mouthparts firm enough to crush steel, yet its attack methods were simplistic.

During the battle, it continuously tried to swallow Zheng Yichen, who seemed to rely more on its sense of temperature and vibration to locate targets than on vision.

Having discerned the general situation of the sandworm and clarified his own strengths, the stage was set for a decisive kill. The sandworm’s monotonous attack pattern posed no threat to him unless he chose to blunder.

In Ahn Qi’s eyes, Zheng Yichen’s attack intensity suddenly surged, turning pinprick injuries into more extensive, direct damage.

His protective energy membrane also took on a faint red hue, each punch causing the sandworm’s body to tremor violently, and wide wounds appeared across the tough skin of its surface.

The sandworm shifted from its initial ferocity and rage to trying to escape, but Zheng Yichen didn’t give the creature a chance. After forcefully breaching the sandworm’s outer layer, he sought its fatal weakness. Once he confirmed the creature had no poison, the sandworm’s fate was sealed.

Without poison, and lacking any substantial extraordinary powers, the best tactic against such a large creature was internal sabotage.

"This creature has two hearts," said Zheng Yichen, climbing out of the sandworm’s body, shaking off the blood from his hands. As Ahn Qi approached, he shared this information with her.

The sandworm might not have any extraordinary abilities, but its blood was of high quality. His own extraordinary abilities could still operate in this world. If he hadn’t been averse to appearing too frightening, he could’ve drained the massive creature to a husk by following its heart.

"Got it," Ahn Qi responded as she looked at Zheng Yichen, whose clothes were stained with plenty of blood. It seemed like Zheng Yichen, having emerged from the sandworm, had grown a bit larger, hadn’t he?
