The scarab was not alive, but a mechanical scarab crafted by hollowing out the body of a scarab and filling it with various gears and parts.
Exuding a strong sense of mechanical and mysterious aura, the mechanical scarab was one of the representative creations of the steampunk world.
As the mechanical scarabs emerged from Robben’s clothes, they immediately spread their wings, followed by a constant whirring of gears, and flew directly towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye retreated while waving his hand, attempting to drive away the mechanical scarabs.
However, as Bai Ye swung his arm, a mechanical scarab latched onto his arm. In an instant, a silver needle shot out from the tail of the mechanical scarab, piercing Bai Ye’s arm.
Bai Ye frowned, looking at his arm. After being pricked by the mechanical scarab, a small red dot appeared on his arm, and his skin felt a tingling sensation.
Meanwhile…
More mechanical scarabs swarmed towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye immediately raised his Yong Zhen Nan Huang and swept it, shattering seven or eight mechanical scarabs.
But there were too many mechanical scarabs, and they could fly, crawl, and approach Bai Ye from all directions and positions.
Bai Ye shattered the mechanical scarabs in front of him, but two mechanical scarabs flew from behind and landed on his neck, their tails extending fine needles. Other scarabs quickly crawled from the ground onto Bai Ye’s calf and then shot out fine needles, piercing his calf.
At this moment, Robben stood up again and swung his broadsword towards Bai Ye.
Clang!
A clear metallic clang rang out. The effect of Yong Zhen Nan Huang’s San Chi Wu Di was activated, repelling Robben. However, the fellow was relentless, lunging forward again the moment he was pushed back.
But this time, Bai Ye did not let Robben get close.
Seven-Colored Sword Qi (generating seven-colored sword qi by agitating seven swords, seven at a time, with a 10-second interval between uses) 138 Reading Network
Hum, hum, the sword’s hum suddenly sounded. The seven-colored flying swords vibrated in the air, and then slashed downwards from the sky.
Seven-colored sword qi descended from the heavens, continuously slashing downwards.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The sword qi hit the ground, and continuous, massive roars erupted. The surrounding ground instantly crumbled, and countless gravel flew out, smashing in all directions.
Robben quickly retreated, pulling away to evade the attack, then he lifted his palm…
Two brass spheres suddenly appeared and were tossed into the air by Robben.
Tumbling in the air, a mechanical whirring sound continuously emanated from within the two brass spheres. The tops opened, and a propeller sprang out. With the rotation of the propeller, the two brass spheres took flight in the air.
Helicopter Robot II.
As a chosen one of the steampunk world, Robben was not skilled in swordsmanship or close-quarters combat.
Or rather, these were abilities Robben had acquired after entering the World Battlefield, as were the enhancements and improvements to his physical attributes. When he first entered the World Battlefield, Robben’s physical attribute values were not much higher than Bai Ye’s.
Because, what the chosen ones of the steampunk world were best at was…
Machinery!
The helicopter robots flew in the air, and then three dark compartments sprang open, revealing three black cannon barrels, only as thick as a finger.
Seeing the seven-colored sword light approaching again, Robben immediately shouted, “Artillery fire!”
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of cannon fire rang out. Energy began to accumulate within the cannon barrels of the two helicopter robots, and then white beams of light shot out, colliding with the seven-colored sword light.
Roars echoed continuously, and explosions occurred in the air. White shattered energy light halos drifted down, pure white and flawless, like snow, looking extremely beautiful.
Bai Ye was somewhat surprised, thinking, those two helicopter robots had something!
They were equipped with energy weapons from the future technology world.
But, they were too small!
The helicopter robots were not large to begin with, and their cannon barrels were only as thick as a finger. Therefore, the energy beams they fired were only slightly more powerful than the beams from Bai Ye’s pulse pistol, but their penetration effect was inferior to the pulse pistol’s beams.
Thus, the two helicopter robots did not intend to directly confront the Seven-Colored Rainbow Flying Swords but rather to delay the attacks of the Seven-Colored Rainbow, preventing the sword light from constantly attacking Robben.
Meanwhile, Robben seized the opportunity to charge at Bai Ye again.
He thrust his broadsword forward, and Robben once again assumed a thrusting stance.
“Tusk Thrust!”
Robben charged rapidly, thrusting his broadsword forward.
Clang!
Another clear clang of weapons rang out. Robben once again struck Yong Zhen Nan Huang with his sword.
Robben grinned ferociously and looked at Bai Ye, saying, “Is that enough? Are you still going to hold on?”
Bai Ye looked at Robben with confusion, asking, “What are you referring to?”
“Heh, you think you can get away with it by pretending nothing is wrong?” Robben said. “Do you feel your limbs growing cold, and your body starting to become uncontrollably sluggish? Although your mind is reacting, your body can’t keep up, can it? Because you’ve been poisoned by my neurotoxin!”
Bai Ye showed a look of realization, saying, “So those mechanical scarabs’ needles were poisonous.”
Robben laughed heartily, “Is it too late to realize that now?”
Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then looked at Robben, saying, “You seem to have misunderstood something.”
Large patches of purple venom seeped out of Bai Ye’s pores, quickly covering his entire body. It even flowed down Bai Ye’s body and onto the ground.
Hiss, hiss…
The floor immediately made a sizzling sound, showing signs of being scorched.
Bai Ye said, “It seems poison doesn’t affect me.”
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised Yong Zhen Nan Huang and forcefully swept it forward.
With a clang, Yong Zhen Nan Huang struck Robben’s broadsword. The immense power, combined with the repelling effect of Yong Zhen Nan Huang’s San Chi Wu Di, sent Robben flying out again. He crashed directly into the office area, smashing into a desk and breaking it into pieces.
Bai Ye clenched his fist, cracking his knuckles, and then threw a punch.
“Let me teach you what real poison is!”
As Bai Ye swung his fist, a large amount of venom was sprayed forward, quickly solidifying and transforming into a venomous dragon, flying towards Robben with bared fangs and claws.
Seeing this, Robben quickly rolled on the ground.
But…
The moment the venomous dragon hit the ground, its body shattered, and the venom immediately splattered. A large amount of venom landed on Robben’s calf.
“Ah!”
Robben’s face instantly changed, and he let out a pained scream. The intense pain contorted his entire face.
