Chapter 39 The Ultimate Evolution

Fang Senyan's final punch slammed heavily into the ground, causing the earth to tremble. The Lurker beneath emitted a mournful wail and died with a buzz, dark red blood seeping into the soil.

After landing the blow, Fang Senyan abruptly turned, raising his right arm to shield his face. A barrage of thick, acidic liquid, like a continuous stream of water arrows, hurtled toward him. The Hero Hydralisk, located about fifty meters away, had launched its attack, its repulsive maw writhing violently as it sprayed him with a relentless stream of acid.

To maintain his disguise as a Zealot, Fang Senyan was naturally clad in Zealot armor. Upon being hit by the acid, the finely crafted armor instantly blackened and charred, emitting a pungent black smoke before twisting and deforming into a grotesque, burnt plastic-like mess. The acid then seeped into his muscles and bones, causing a stinging sensation. A glance at his health bar revealed that it was plummeting at an alarming rate!

Knowing that he couldn't hesitate, as too much health loss here would make things difficult later, Fang Senyan immediately unleashed his ultimate move: the ring's teleportation ability combined with Fury of the Horn.

The fifty-meter distance vanished in an instant. Fang Senyan, previously on the defensive, found himself slamming into the Hero Hydralisk's soft underbelly in a mere second!

Fang Senyan's fist crashed into the side of the Hydralisk's head. He struck with such force that he could clearly feel his metal gauntlet impacting the Hydralisk's bones, the skull fracturing like matchsticks. The tough outer skin stretched to its limit under the immense power, and the entire Hydralisk's massive body was sent flying two to three meters into the air, performing a difficult acrobatic backflip of four hundred and eighty degrees before crashing heavily to the ground.

The Hydralisk's response upon landing was clumsy, a stark contrast to its previous dominance in ranged attacks! It turned and fled in panic, while a large number of Zerglings rushed to its rescue. At the same time, from the darkness, the Queen unleashed a Parasitic Spawn attack on Fang Senyan!

This kind of instant-kill ability was obviously only effective against ordinary units. Fang Senyan had studied the threat of this attack within the Blackthorn Brood, so he made no attempt to dodge. Instead, he stepped forward and stomped on the Hero Hydralisk's tail. The mass of disgusting eggs flew straight toward him, hitting Fang Senyan's back with a "biu" sound. Numerous milky white parasitic worms immediately began burrowing into his armor.

However, all of this was futile. The parasites quickly died off, and Fang Senyan simply charged forward, continuing his relentless assault on the enemy before him. The surrounding Zerglings attacked Fang Senyan frantically, but he showed no signs of stopping.

Realizing that the spawn attack was ineffective, the Queen immediately spewed out a huge net of green slime: Ensnare. This was clearly intended to slow Fang Senyan down and allow the Hero Hydralisk to escape.

Upon seeing this ability, Fang Senyan decisively pounced on the Hero Hydralisk, adopting a pose reminiscent of Wu Song fighting the tiger, and straddling it! He gripped the thick skin around the Hero Hydralisk's neck with his left hand, while his fists rained down, blow after blow.

The Hero Hydralisk possessed fearsome attack power and speed, but its defense and survivability were relatively low. Once Fang Senyan closed in, it was utterly overwhelmed, unable to retaliate. Furthermore, with Fang Senyan's terrifying strength combined with the +10 gauntlets' insane attack power, every blow landed with bone-crushing force. The Hero Hydralisk emitted a piercing shriek, like a chicken with its throat half-severed, flapping its wings in agony.

Because Fang Senyan was protected by a powerful innate ability, the surrounding Zerglings, though seemingly overwhelming, inflicted far less damage than one might expect.

With eyes closed and teeth gritted, Fang Senyan relentlessly pounded the enemy's body. Finally, the Hero Hydralisk let out a horrifying scream, and its body began to inflate dramatically, like a balloon!

Sensing a great threat, Fang Senyan immediately released his grip and rolled away. However, the surrounding Zerg would not let him escape so easily, swarming him relentlessly. Fang Senyan was forced to drag seven or eight Zerglings with him, slowly escaping like a giant ball.

Suddenly, the Hero Hydralisk exploded!!!

Despite having two or three Zerglings biting at his back as shields, Fang Senyan clearly felt as if he had been violently shoved, the irresistible force sending him tumbling forward more than ten meters!

His back went completely numb, and his limbs felt weak and useless. Although he heard no sound, his mind was buzzing, making it difficult to hear anything around him, and his throat felt nauseous.

After several seconds, Fang Senyan realized he was lying face down on the ground, slowly regaining consciousness. Looking back, he saw a terrifying area of blood and gore, at least four or five hundred square meters in size, centered on the Hydralisk's exploded corpse. The scene was hellish, filled with blood, limbs, and碎肉, a truly gruesome sight.

Only then did Fang Senyan realize that his back was no longer numb but burning with pain. Reaching back, he felt that his armor and a layer of skin had been fused together, as if he had been scalded with boiling water. Gritting his teeth, he ran forward, first rescuing the surrounded Ramtath, and then successfully reuniting with Sokka Da, greatly easing the pressure.

Despite Fang Senyan's contribution, the Protoss only managed to gain some localized advantages. The entire expeditionary force was embroiled in a bitter, all-out battle because the Zerg had also employed hero units, albeit fewer in number than the Protoss, but effectively curbing the Protoss's advance.

The Protoss's original plan was to use the combined power of their hero units to overwhelm the ordinary Zerg units. This was similar to using a few thousand elite cavalry to break through enemy lines, disrupt the enemy's deployment of tens of thousands of infantry, and throw them into complete chaos and collapse in the age of cold weapons.

Time and speed were the primary factors for the attacker.

However, with the addition of the Zerg hero units, it became difficult for the Protoss force to achieve its original strategic goals. Although the Zerg had far fewer hero units than the Protoss, these units served to delay and hinder the Protoss. Once the Protoss force lost its mobility and ability to overwhelm, it was like sinking into a quagmire.

Fang Senyan grabbed Sokka Da and hurled him forward!

The latter had once again donned his flamboyant red cloak and retrieved his signature double-handed hammer. Tossed by Fang Senyan, he somersaulted in mid-air, skillfully leaping over the battle line of hundreds of Zerglings, landing in the center of a swarm of Hydralisks. He unleashed a fierce spinning attack, his warhammer wreathed in crimson flames. With just this one strike, at least a dozen ordinary Zerglings died at his hands.

But at that moment, a gigantic Mammoth stomped towards Sokka Da, sending him flying. Fortunately, Sokka Da managed to block in time, otherwise, he would have been impaled by the Mammoth's tusk, like jagged scythes, piercing his abdomen!

Even so, Sokka Da landed awkwardly and helplessly, temporarily losing his ability to resist. Seeing that the Mammoth was about to charge over and severely injure him, Fang Senyan rushed over, first smashing a bottle of cursed potion on the ground where Sokka Da had landed, temporarily preventing ordinary units from approaching, and then punching the Mammoth on the head!!!!

Fang Senyan was immediately knocked away, performing a backflip before getting up, wincing and rubbing his fist. The Mammoth was also suffering, shaking its head and staggering back a few steps, emitting a dull moan and spitting out a large amount of white foam from its mouth. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duocheg fired a series of frantic photon orbs, blasting the Mammoth, which was already seriously injured, into a shower of flesh!

At the same time, Aldaris unleashed a stream of particles, slaughtering the Zerglings surrounding Sokka Da. Sokka Da also regained his breath. During ordinary battles, he rarely had time to rest, so as a frontline combat unit, he often had to withdraw from the battlefield prematurely. But with Fang Senyan covering him, he could often rest and heal his wounds even on the front lines of the intense melee battlefield, thus extending his combat duration.

The four-man team, along with a group of Zealots and Dragoons, had slowly become separated from the main force. However, guided by Ramtath's sense of smell, they were slowly disengaging from the battlefield.

Finally, Fang Senyan and Sokka Da, who were gritting their teeth and charging ahead, felt the pressure ease. They immediately realized that the area ahead was clear, and the vicious Zerg had been left behind. They had finally fought their way out of the seemingly endless sea of Zerg! Not only that, but the other ordinary Zealots and Dragoons also felt a sense of relief.

However, at that moment, Fang Senyan's expression changed drastically, because he clearly heard a sound in the air.

That muffled sound,

The sound of thousands of membranous wings beating the air violently!!!

A staggering number of Spore Flyers were rapidly approaching!
