Chapter 751: Surrounding and Killing Kanute
Lu Yinghao, who could control his body's hormones, could transform his bodily fluids into lethal toxins.
Therefore, Kanute's decision to devour him was undoubtedly a massive tactical error.
However, given his enormous size, poisoning him to death clearly wouldn't be that easy either.
Wu Di's eyes lit up as he found a way to deal with Kanute.
At the very least, it could prevent everyone from being eaten alive.
"Lu Yinghao, use your poison on each of us!"
Lu Yinghao shouted back: "Understood!"
He quickly ran to Wu Di's side, bit open his wrist, and drenched him with his own blood.
The others all went through the same process one by one.
However, Kanute scoffed at this.
If he couldn't swallow them, he'd just crush them with his sheer size advantage!
"Let me give you a hand!"
Sakuraba Yoshimitsu of the Moon of Corrosion pressed his left hand against his right wrist, aiming at the entire battlefield space.
The moment his ability activated, everyone instantly felt their bodies become many times heavier!
Some non-melee combatants even found it difficult to lift their legs.
Yet surprisingly, the worst affected wasn't them.
A dull thud came from the center of the battlefield as Kanute in his giant Blue Shark form suddenly sank deep into the ground.
"Damn it, what are you doing?!"
Seeing this, Wu Di suddenly threw his head back and laughed heartily.
"Such powerful gravity augmentation, yet it's indiscriminate. For a behemoth like him, it's simply disastrous!"
Daiku Kai Enzu could adapt to extreme gravity through continuous training.
But Kanute couldn't, because his current size and weight far exceeded human limits.
The tremendous gravity put extreme pressure on his internal organs.
Only then did Sakuraba Yoshimitsu realize that Kanute before him couldn't be compared to Daiku Kai Enzu.
Before he could finish, Kanute had already charged out from underground and— "CRUNCH!"—bit him clean in half at the waist!
Sakuraba Yoshimitsu's face was frozen in shock.
He never imagined he'd die not by the Celestial Hound Squad's hands, but in the jaws of a temporary ally.
Such was the nature of pirates—when their interests were threatened, they'd even kill their closest kin.
As for Sakuraba Yoshimitsu's death, the Moon of Corrosion members paid it no heed.
They couldn't afford to break with the Tianlong Pirate Crew now.
Besides, within their team, Sakuraba Yoshimitsu was just a low-ranking minor character.
"They're turning on each other!"
Xue Miao added: "Allies united by interests will also draw swords over interests. For these two groups of villains, it's not surprising at all!"
With Sakuraba Yoshimitsu's death, the gravity field returned to normal.
Kanute voraciously swallowed Sakuraba Yoshimitsu's corpse.
And the horrific wounds Zhang Yi had left on his body actually began showing signs of healing.
Wu Di's eyes narrowed sharply: "This bastard can heal himself by devouring other empowered individuals!"
Biologist Meng Siyu, positioned at the rear as support personnel unable to directly participate in combat, provided professional analysis:
"Sharks naturally possess extremely powerful regenerative abilities. Be careful—you can't feed him anymore!"
However, easier said than done.
Against this super prehistoric monster that could burrow through terrain, they struggled to devise a way to kill it.
On the battlefield, Kanute held absolute initiative.
Like a spearhead, he rampaged across the battlefield.
While the pirates behind him used his momentum to assault the Celestial Hound Squad.
Kurosawa Aga also drew his hand cannon, suppressing the Celestial Hound Squad from range.
"Qi Guangming, their sniper's yours!"
Qi Guangming raised his peculiar black sniper rifle, taking aim at the distant Kurosawa Aga.
Kurosawa Aga immediately took cover behind concealment.
The two snipers locked in mutual deterrence, neither daring to expose themselves carelessly.
Between snipers, life-and-death duels were decided in an instant.
Meanwhile, the frontlines had already been thrown into complete disarray by Kanute.
"Let me try handling him!"
Demolitions expert Ye Jikang, hiding in the shadows, pressed his right hand against the ground.
His ability [Time Bomb] could transform anything he touched into high-powered explosives.
Since Kanute moved underground where others' attacks couldn't easily reach,
Ye Jikang began planting numerous explosives beneath the surface.
But the one who could actually confront Kanute head-on was someone nobody expected—
His ability [Steel Forging] could transform his body into ultra-resilient metal.
Granting him superhuman defensive capabilities, and as an enhancement-type empowered individual, his strength was equally formidable.
These traits made him the primary force stalling Kanute on the frontline.
The massive Blue Shark form burst from the ground, charging viciously at Wu Di!
Kong Sheng instantly positioned himself before Wu Di, arms crossed in a solid guard that forcefully blocked Kanute's attack.
As a martial arts expert, he knew exactly how to minimize impact on his body.
Though barely withstanding Kanute's charge, he was still sent flying moments later.
But having transformed into malleable metal, his body fluidly dispersed the force like liquid, preventing major damage.
The Celestial Hound Squad seized this fleeting opportunity.
Ye He's shadow rapidly extended across the ground, merging with Kanute's massive silhouette.
Then from the merged shadows, hundreds of sharp black thorns erupted, stabbing into his body!
Simultaneously, Wu Di condensed a massive floating cannon in his hands, firing a tremendous energy beam at Kanute!
Both attacks precisely targeted the wounds Zhang Yi had previously inflicted.
Kanute's body shuddered violently, emitting wisps of blue smoke.
The combined assault from Ye He and Wu Di had actually wounded him.
Kanute let out a deafening bellow.
From afar, Yang Xinxin had her angel fire a second arrow at Kanute—
This time pitch black!
Kanute had been monitoring everyone's movements carefully.
That girl's previous arrow had done negligible damage.
Yet this black arrow gave him an ominous premonition.
Choosing not to tank it, he swiftly submerged underground.
The black arrow struck empty air, but Yang Xinxin remained expressionless, showing no disappointment.
