Crack, crack!
The headless skeleton's bones continuously developed new cracks, propelled by its tentacle-like garments, advancing towards them as if it were a battle-hardened Hunter.
Whether it was the way it walked, the gesture of holding the sword, or the action of swinging it, all reminded the people of the legendary Deep Sea Hunter.
A cold sensation permeated the area.
The people had already paid a heavy price in the fierce battle with the fire dragon.
The posture of this skeleton was too horrifying, and many people, startled like birds at the sound of gunshots, ran recklessly down the mountain.
Clang, clang, clang!

Before he knew it, in the midst of continuous battles, only Chen Qi and some bodies blurred with blood and flesh remained in the area.
"This is not the Deep Sea Hunter, it's just clothing, just flesh implants..."
Chen Qi kept emphasizing in his mind as he drank a bottle of potent Healing Potion.
[You have acquired a brief enhancement of vitality and strength.]
Within the black market, there are three particularly famous types of equipment: Mechanical Armor, blood machinery armor, and flesh implants.
Flesh implants often pertain to equipment made from Transcendent monster materials.
Unlike ordinary equipment, flesh implants preserve a large amount of Extraordinary characteristics during their creation.
This greatly enhances the Extraordinary power of the equipment.
As a consequence, the user's mind is severely affected by the Extraordinary traits; prolonged wearing can cause severe mental effects, even distortions.
If Mechanical Armor greatly affects the body, then flesh implants severely affect the mind.
Some flesh implants also possess a certain autonomous combat ability.
And the equipment of the Deep Sea Hunter possesses this feature as well.
The situation now must be due to the autonomous combat function of the flesh implants.
Although this is not the Deep Sea Hunter, just a mindless piece of clothing, it is undoubtedly a formidable opponent.
"Can I win?"
Chen Qi shed two drops of cold sweat as he activated the dynamic vision of the Hunter's Eye.
Stationary objects gradually became blurry, while fast-moving ones became clearer.
The headless skeleton grasped the blood-stained great sword in its hand, took a step forward, and swung a downward slash toward his direction.
I can see it clearly!
Chen Qi rotated around his left foot, dodging the attack.
The opponent was fast, but the Hunter's Eye still captured the trajectory of the sword.
After absorbing Yu Huo's Shadow, he mastered many combat skills of the Deep Sea Hunter.
The manner in which the skeleton wielded its sword was very similar to the knowledge in Yu Huo.
The opponent's moves were all within his predictions.
Moreover, he could barely keep up with its speed.
"Deep Sea Water Elf, Water Bomb!"
Chen Qi commanded.
Seven trembling Deep Sea Water Elves beside him made expressions as if they were heading to their death, fiercely charging toward the headless skeleton.
Boom! Boom!
The Deep Sea Water Elves used Water Bomb, creating a massive explosion around it.
Bang!
With no room to dodge, under the impact of the explosion, the headless skeleton's body violently trembled, making crackling sounds like a jammed rusty gear.
"Extraordinarily effective..."
Chen Qi swallowed, his tense emotions slightly eased.
Following the force of the explosion, a breaking sound came from the skeleton's arm, and its attack steps began to show noticeable sluggishness.
The monster in front of him was not as strong as he had imagined.
Like the automatic mode of Mechanical Armor, it was just a mindless existence, with attack methods that were simple and limited.
As long as he grasped the pattern of the opponent, he could completely withstand the attacks in front of him.
If it were a normal person wearing this equipment, it would be much more troublesome.
But now, this decaying skeleton could no longer withstand the equipment.
Chen Qi adjusted his breathing, poised for a counterattack, gathering Qi Power over the black blade. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Tentacles fiercely entwined around the skeleton's wrist bones as it again launched a series of fierce great sword slashes.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The heavy metallic clashing sounds echoed continuously in the air.
He could predict the moves!
Chen Qi burst into action, using his black blade to fend off the attacks relentlessly.
Under the constant defense, more and more cracks appeared on the skeleton's arms, and its attacks grew weaker.
And at that moment of defense, under the enhanced dynamic vision, Chen Qi spotted a dim deep blue rhombus gem in the center of the inside of the clothing.
This could be the core of the attire, attacking that gem might shut down the entwining garment's attack mode.
Bounce Back!
After a loud metallic clang, Chen Qi found the opportunity and skillfully used his black blade to deflect the headless skeleton's greatsword.
Bang!
The greatsword fell to the ground.
The bones of the headless skeleton's sword-holding hand fractured, and like a disassembled puppet, it almost toppled over, unstable.
Great opportunity!
Chen Qi didn't hesitate: he gripped his black blade with both hands and stepped forward to strike, targeting the blue gem inside the clothing.
However, just as the headless skeleton was about to be slashed.
Eight semi-transparent blue tentacles suddenly burst from the inside of the clothing.
Immediately after, the tentacles erupted into blue flames, their posture resembling a blooming flame flower.
The eight burning semi-transparent tentacles struck fiercely like vicious punches, slamming into him.
The attack came so suddenly that he could only use his Qi Power to block defensively with his bent arms.
Boom!
Chen Qi's body was violently knocked back, tracing a straight line.
Ouch!
The sound of bones cracking, along with a strong sensation of nausea and dizziness.
I can't fall down... Chen Qi subconsciously clenched his teeth, then dropped his black blade, and pulled out the double guns on his waist.
The eight nearly two-meter thick, semi-transparent tentacles lasted only a moment.
It couldn't dodge the gunfire now... Chen Qi, enduring the intense pain and feeling dazed, aimed at the center of the skeleton and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang!
Under two piercing gunshots, the decaying skeleton gained two fresh bullet holes.
It finally couldn't withstand any more and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Immediately after, Chen Qi staggered forward a step and aimed inside the clothing at the blue gem, firing three more shots.
Finally, with those shots, the entwining garment ceased moving, and the whole skeleton fell backward, turning into a white powder.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Chen Qi gasped for breath, not moving the gun from his position, like a well-trained officer.
Only after three minutes, when he confirmed that the clothing no longer posed any significant threat, did he sit down with a thud, picked up his water bottle, and took a drink.
Luckily, the headless skeleton's constitution couldn't withstand the power of the clothing.
Otherwise, this battle could even have threatened his life.
"Huff, huff..."
Chen Qi panted heavily, feeling the power of the Potion slowly seeping through his body.
He had severe internal injuries, but fortunately, he had blocked with his Qi Power, avoiding fatal outcomes.
Looks like it's going to cost a bit for medical treatment... Chen Qi looked dumbly around him.
Scattered sparks, spent bullet casings, scorched ground, several charred corpses, and a sleeping female fire dragon.
"Temporarily safe..."
Chen Qi looked around; in this lively place, he was left alone.
Others either ran or died.
The fire dragon fell asleep, the entwining garment stopped.
Chen Qi felt relieved, used his black blade to poke the blue gem at the heart of the entwining garment inside.
The entwining garment continuously shrank, the whole garment seemingly attracted by a massive suction, withdrew into the blue gem and became a small model within the gem.
"So this is the normal form of this garment."
Carefully, Chen Qi picked up the gem, and a special prompt appeared before him.
