With a single move, he resolved the greatest crisis he faced. Zheng Yifan dared not be careless as he burst forth from the encirclement of the Basilisk. He did not want to endure another constriction.
The constriction of a serpent was his specialty, but due to Zheng Yifan's size, it was quite difficult for the Basilisk to wrap around him.
It was akin to a snake trying to coil around an ant—almost impossible.
However, the Basilisk executed this attack with remarkable precision. Zheng Yifan had no opportunity to escape; if it weren't for the Silver Spear causing the Basilisk to scream in pain, he would not have gotten away.
There was no room for error. It was only because the Basilisk was momentarily distracted by its own pain that Zheng Yifan managed to evade this attack. Each strike from the Basilisk was lethal; this was no mere Zombie—it was a Basilisk.
Even though they were of the same rank, the disparity during combat was still significant. The physical strength of the Basilisk far exceeded that of Zheng Yifan, and this difference became apparent in battle. At least for now, he could not withstand even one hit.
After breaking free, dust flew up visibly, and behind him, fragments of shattered stone were ensnared by the Basilisk.
In an instant, the debris vanished, transformed into nothingness.
A cold sweat dripped onto the ground.
It was truly terrifying; the attack power of the Basilisk had reached a level beyond what an ordinary person could compare to, and Zheng Yifan's body could not defend against it.
Having escaped, Zheng Yifan began to retreat. If this continued, he would surely lose his life; the creature's defenses were too strong, and his own offensive capabilities could not inflict damage. Instead, it was the Basilisk attacking him—one hit would mean death.
In desperation, Zheng Yifan hurled his Adamantium Shield towards the Basilisk's body while swiftly retreating.
The Adamantium Shield was one of Zheng Yifan's techniques and could be summoned back at any time.
But then he saw the Basilisk open its massive jaws and lunge toward the shield.
"Not good!" Zheng Yifan gasped in alarm as he recalled the Basilisk's unique ability. What would happen if it swallowed his shield?
At that moment, a powerful suction began to compete with Zheng Yifan for control over the Adamantium Shield.
For the Basilisk, swallowing prey was instinctual—it required no effort at all.
Zheng Yifan, however, needed to continuously supply Power of Faith and Vital Energy to resist. Otherwise, relying solely on his usual strength would result in being devoured by the Basilisk in an instant.
In a critical moment, his body began to sweat, his complexion turning pale as the Vital Energy within him surged violently, rapidly transforming the surrounding Vital Energy.
Within the Time-Space Barrier marked by the tattoos on his body, intense beams of light emerged, revealing the location where Zheng Yifan could exchange for needed items. Perhaps something new would appear now.
But Zheng Yifan could no longer afford to think about that. At this moment, hope had arrived.
The System God, represented by the Primordial Pearl, began to glow, and a halo of light flashed by. The entire world changed; the Basilisk before him transformed into a bss template, a level 69 demigod bss. Its health was 17 million, while its other attributes remained hidden behind question marks.
Undoubtedly, this was the moment when the power of the System began to dissipate, using some formidable force to assist Zheng Yifan. Or perhaps it was to eliminate future threats; the Basilisk's power had been significantly enhanced. In truth, the Primordial Pearl had initially sealed the Basilisk; otherwise, it would never have been able to unleash its own power. This entity would claim the Primordial Pearl for itself.
However, now was precisely the right time for the System God's power to manifest, as Zheng Yifan was struggling to attack the Basilisk.
Now that he could attack, he would do so. The Basilisk was exhausting all its strength to devour, and the System God's modifications felt so familiar to it; it had grown accustomed to them. But Zheng Yifan was different; he could find an opportunity.
After the modifications, his attacks would inevitably deal damage, and the Adamantium Shield could still be enhanced. Previously ineffective attacks now had a mechanism for forced strikes.
Thus, he channeled all his Power of Faith into the Adamantium Shield and then suddenly withdrew his strength to switch to an attack.
As the Adamantium Shield launched forward at high speed, spinning and radiating waves of Vital Energy, streams of Vital Energy sliced through the air and struck first at the Basilisk.
The target was its lips.
That area had been injured with a penetrating wound that nearly brought the Basilisk to death; however, since it lacked a Heart, such a wound wasn't particularly significant for it.
The Silver Spear appeared large! Yet for the Basilisk, it felt like being pricked by a needle on its head. The sensation was different!
Now, the Adamantium Shield aimed to adjust its angle slightly and slip into that wound to evade any counteraction from the Basilisk.
Healers often struggle to heal themselves; this was akin to the current situation of the Basilisk. A doctor treating themselves faces great difficulty, while the Basilisk's devouring ability is effective against any enemy. However, if the Adamantium Shield were to hide within the Basilisk's flesh, it would be impossible for it to devour anything because it couldn't achieve that feat.
In an instant, like a meteor falling from the sky, the Adamantium Shield surged through that gap.
Zheng Yifan could have done this too; however, without the power of the System God, the Adamantium Shield itself lacked any penetrating force. It couldn't break through.
However, now, Zheng Yifan has pushed the damage of the Adamantium Shield to its limits. Coupled with the cutting power, it can be considered a breach in the game's terms, capable of inflicting damage and harm.
With the force of rotation and cutting, combined with the power of the System God, he charged into the wound of the Basilisk.
"Hiss!" Another roar erupted, still as formidable as ever.
But Zheng Yifan no longer cared. His current goal was to wear down this Fellow; he couldn't directly kill the Basilisk. Its massive body was too resilient to suffer such fierce damage. Instead, he would use the power of the System God.
Zheng Yifan began a hit-and-run tactic, striking and retreating while leaving the Adamantium Shield embedded within the Basilisk.
He could see red numbers floating above the Basilisk's head:
-10
-10
Having played Online Games before, Zheng Yifan knew for certain that this indicated the Basilisk was losing health continuously. Although this number was insignificant compared to its 18 million health points, it gave Zheng Yifan hope for a kill.
Meanwhile, he divided his attacks with the Silver Spear into countless strikes, initiating a low-damage but high-frequency assault. (To be continued...)
