Active attack ability?
Ye Zhongming initially believed that the three-trunked elephant was hiding its true strength and had held back until this moment to strike. However, he quickly realized something was wrong.
The three mutated life forms that had been incapacitated by the three-trunked elephant possessed the abilities of Metal Stagnation, Wind Blade, and Stone Spike Forest that were currently displayed!
However, their power was not as great as it was now.
The three-trunked elephant had actually stolen the abilities of its subordinates!
But it was unclear whether this theft was permanent or temporary.
Due to the Metal Stagnation ability, the sand dance, sniper rifle, and the metal items on Ye Zhongming had all been restricted. So, Ye Zhongming simply stored them away in his space and took out the Staff of Nature, inserting it into the ground. He activated the Shield of the Water Bottle and disregarded the sharp stone spikes on the ground, charging directly toward the three-trunked elephant.
The Wind Blade struck the Shield of the Water Bottle in midair, producing a loud crackling sound, while the person and elephant, both covered by the Shield, were now face to face.
The three-trunked elephant was fearful but, after all, it was an eighth-level mutated overlord. Seeing Ye Zhongming approach, one of its tusks lunged forward with great speed.
The stone spikes were underfoot, but Ye Zhongming didn’t care. His Bloodstained Battle Boots were golden gear, easily defending against such damage. He nimbly dodged the tusk attack and landed a punch on the body of the three-trunked elephant.
With a thud, the three-trunked elephant staggered, and one of its trunks swung toward Ye Zhongming’s head. He ducked and then delivered an uppercut to its neck, not concerned about the outcome. He quickly spun around to the back of the three-trunked elephant, executed a kick, hitting the joints of its hind legs twice, and grabbed its swinging tail, yanking it fiercely. The three-trunked elephant was pulled to the side and fell awkwardly.
This was a completely uneven battle. Even though Ye Zhongming temporarily lost the attribute bonus from the Earth Set, he was still a monster who had consumed improved drugs in the top four levels and had significantly enhanced physical qualities from the Sea King Crown, Merit Medal, and the clear body ability. In close combat against a purely supportive three-trunked elephant, he had an overwhelming advantage.
Even though Ye Zhongming was not in great shape, with several bones having fractures, this eighth-level white elephant was still being utterly dominated.
The mutant legion surged wildly toward this side, while humans did everything they could to stop them. The battlefield, centered around Ye Zhongming and the three-trunked elephant, was experiencing the most intense clashes.
At this moment, the assault team also rushed to Ye Zhongming’s side, combining their efforts to counter the mutated life forms approaching from all directions. The Yama Tree was unstoppable, even though it did not use the same moves as Heaven's Nature that could be seen as 'swimming', it alone managed to block a front, showcasing its eighth-level strength.
The battlefield was splattered with blood and severed limbs, lives disappearing rapidly in seconds.
On Ye Zhongming’s side, he was already using fists and feet, continuously pounding on the three-trunked elephant’s body. Although its defensive skills were lacking, its body was still at the eighth-level. Under Ye Zhongming’s relentless blows, it persisted stubbornly, occasionally attempting to counterattack with its tusks, though the results were always futile.
Seeing that the assault team was forced to within just a few meters of him, Ye Zhongming grew fierce. Taking advantage of one of the three-trunked elephant's counterattacks, he dashed behind it, wrapped his arms around the massive creature’s rear half, and let out a loud roar. The three-trunked elephant was actually lifted off the ground by him.
