Post-Apocalyptic Highway Survival: I Have a Sequence Caravan

Chapter 44 Development of Poison Gas Abilities

"Looks like you're really confident in yourself! I suppose your insect transformation ability, like Wang Hu's giant transformation ability, has a time limit!" Zhao Hai said with great confidence.

"So what? This amount of time is more than enough to deal with you!" Yu Zexing's voice came from the mouth of the two-meter-tall giant insect.

As for the Li sisters and the three girls, they had already run away when Zhao Hai and Wang Hu attacked Yu Zexing. The battle between sequence transcendents was not something they could participate in, so leaving early was the right choice.

"So that's why you weren't worried about your old man! You put a giant bug on him! But I must warn you, Wan Yue's fighting power is above mine! I'm afraid your giant bug won't last long!"

Wang Hu also saw the battle on Su Wanyue's side, but he wasn't worried about his and Zhao Hai's situation at all. Instead, he spoke up with a leisurely expression.

"Hmph! Wouldn't it have been better to deal with you sooner?" Yu Zexing sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, his armor opened up, revealing plates harder than iron plates that gleamed with a cold, metallic luster in the dim light.

Five armor plates popped out with a "snap" and five curved blades shot towards Zhao Hai and Wang Hu respectively.

"Damn! Tiger, their insect transformation ability is so strong, and they even have ranged attacks, so how come your giant transformation ability only enhances melee combat?"

As Zhao Hai spoke, he once again unleashed his Poison Palm, transforming it into two enormous hands that blocked the five armor plates.

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

The phantom of the poisonous palm collided violently with the black armor plates. There was no earth-shattering roar, but instead a chilling corrosive sound. The sharp armor plates, comparable to refined iron, immediately emitted thick blue smoke upon contact with the poisonous gas, becoming pitted and uneven at a visible speed, their momentum drastically reduced.

However, the force contained in the armor plates was truly fierce, actually piercing through the illusory image of the poisonous palm, though its color had become much dimmer.

"No way! This piece of iron is that powerful?" Zhao Hai was also surprised. His palm strike just now had consumed 40% of the toxins stored in his palm, yet it still hadn't stopped the armor plate.

Fortunately, Zhao Hai was prepared and had already set up poisonous fog around him.

"Gather!"

With a low shout from Zhao Hai, the poisonous mist, with a radius of six meters, immediately gathered and then, under Zhao Hai's control, quickly transformed into a huge, dark green shield, blocking in front of Zhao Hai and Wang Hu.

Since awakening, Zhao Hai has known that collecting poisons is not easy, so he has been thinking about how to maximize his ability to use poison.

At this moment, condensing the poisonous mist into a shield is one of the abilities Zhao Hai has developed.

"Puff puff puff puff puff—"

This time, the impact was dull and eerie, lacking the sharp clang of metal on metal, but rather sounding like a blade cutting into wet mud. The armor plates were deeply embedded in the shield formed by the poisonous mist, causing the shield's surface to ripple violently and develop deep holes. Dark green poisonous gas surged wildly, attempting to envelop and corrode these uninvited guests.

With the shield blocking the attack, Zhao Hai managed to deflect the five armor plates.

"Disperse!" Zhao Hai shouted again.

The giant shield of dark green poisonous mist disintegrated upon impact. Instead of collapsing, it condensed and shaped itself into three poisonous mist arrows, each about a meter long, glistening with an ominous luster, following the changes in Zhao Hai's hand seals.

The arrows were solid, their tips incredibly sharp, and their tails swirled with poisonous gas, emitting a soft hissing sound, like three venomous snakes ready to devour their prey. Without the slightest hesitation, the moment the arrows took shape, they tore through the air, carrying a pungent, fishy stench, and shot in a triangular formation toward Yu Zexing's massive, rapidly expanding insect body!

At the same time, Wang Hu was not idle either, and he also shot his crossbow at Yu Zexing.

Yu Zexing completely ignored the five crossbow bolts fired by Wang Hu, but instead focused his attention on the three arrows fired by Zhao Hai.

After he transformed into an insect, his carapace became incredibly hard. Not to mention attacks from mere arrows, even a frontal hit from a pre-apocalyptic main battle tank's fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing round could only break through his carapace defense at most.

Although the three arrows Zhao Hai shot at him did not pose a threat to his defense in terms of penetrating power and force, it was no doubt that his arrows were extremely corrosive and poisonous.

Although its shell is incredibly hard, it is most afraid of two things: extreme sharpness that can pierce through it, and... strong corrosion and poison!

The corrosive and highly poisonous nature of those arrows would definitely corrode one's own armor.

Never try to take it head-on!

"Hiss—!" Yu Zexing let out a sharp hiss, his massive insect body displaying astonishing agility that belied its size. He abandoned his original intention to block with his arm, and his insect-transformed waist suddenly exerted force at an almost twisted angle, causing his half-body to spin rapidly, attempting to use his relatively thick back, which was covered with several extra layers of carapace, to withstand the arrow.

At the same time, the giant black-scaled claw connected to his body also abandoned its attack posture. Its five fingers spread out like a fan, bringing a howling evil wind. Instead of slapping at the arrows, it slammed into the ground in front of him!

"boom!"

Rock fragments flew everywhere, and dust billowed! The powerful shockwave and flying debris generated by the giant claw's strike formed a chaotic barrier. Although it wasn't a direct defense, it effectively disrupted the precise trajectories of the three poisoned arrows.

"Hmph! You think you can dodge it!"

Zhao Hai snorted coldly, and with a slight thought, the three arrows that had originally deviated from their trajectory flashed with light and drew three strange arcs in the air, as if they were being pulled by invisible threads, and once again locked onto Ze Xing's huge insect body, accelerating towards it!

"Damn! This is insane! It can even control these arrows!" Yu Zexing cursed angrily as he saw the three poisoned arrows change direction.

Knowing he couldn't dodge the arrows, he stopped trying. Three scales flew off his insect body again, each heading towards one of the three arrows.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The armor plates and the arrow exploded simultaneously, the arrow scattering in all directions from the impact. They landed with a hissing sound, leaving behind honeycomb-like craters.

"This ability you've developed is really impressive! Now that we know its power, I'm not playing with you anymore, Yu Zexing, die!" Zhao Hai smiled wickedly, a hint of mockery and cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, Zhao Hai had a thought, and Yu Zexing spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Poisoned? When did you poison me? How could I not know? I clearly avoided contact with you!" Yu Zexing's face was also filled with disbelief.
