Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 520 - 475: Closing In

"The foil has crystal patterns on it, it's not an antique nuclear bomb," Dai Jing explained simply.

A graphics card bomb??

For some reason, the term popped into Wu Hen's mind.

However, the metal bomb paper that Dai Jing had was indeed potent; the Black Angel was blown away to who knows where.

This place was just a base with an alloy shell belonging to some mysterious organization; not even godly power could destroy it, otherwise the entire Blood Lake would have already turned to ashes.

The energy blast was fierce and dissipated quickly.

What surprised Wu Hen was that the artificial embryos were exceptionally sturdy; those other top-ranked evolved Alien Species lying within the artificial embryos were completely unharmed.

The destroyed devices were merely decorative equipment. The true devices of the creator didn't even break out of their shells; after the energy dissipated, tiny robots immediately began cleaning, making their creator devices still look shiny and new.

Finally, Wu Hen saw the Black Angel.

She was very cunning, actually hiding back inside her embryo.

But while the exterior of the embryo had strong resistance, its interior wasn't as strong, and her embryo was blown to pieces, the soft walls of the embryo all turned to black charcoal dust.

"Creak, creak, creak~~~~"

The Black Angel's bones emitted an eerie noise, although the inside of her body wasn't metallic, whatever toxic substance it was had eroded her, turning into a terrifying black biochemical bone, black biochemical organs.

These biochemical bones could self-heal, and it was not a slow process.

Her crown was blown open, her abdomen was blasted apart, her legs were blown off.

But the Black Angel sitting within the embryo was releasing some kind of biochemical Poison Liquid, which to her was like Holy Water, treating and healing her rotting body tissues.

Before long, the Black Angel was back to her original state, but the Holy Energy she exuded was gone. She didn't look much different from a Female Loss Demon, even her wings no longer had the state caused by illusionary particles and resembled closer to the primitive sense of a wild-mutated species.

"It's like we've just stripped off one layer of her Angel shell," Wu Hen said.

"Her power will also be reduced, which makes capturing her more convenient. Anyway, you just need to capture her to fulfill the job, her high or low degree of evolution doesn't affect your reward," Dai Jing said.

"That's true, let's capture her now. I'm worried that if we regress her too far, the employer won't recognize her as the Black Angel," Wu Hen nodded.

"The Iron Capsules have been arranged; just lure her to that coordinate." Dai Jing released an electronic eye coordinate, "I've used too much energy and need to spend some time for Breathing Control. If you can't handle it, then hold her off for a while until I... until my prosthetics have cooled down..."

Wu Hen glanced at Dai Jing's shoulder, an excessive use had apparently activated the vitality of her Mechanical Cells, which emitted a furnace-like heat, eroding the parts of her that were human.

It was evident that Dai Jing was already in pain, with her Mechanical Cells slowly drilling into her human flesh like sharp roots.

"Okay, you rest for a while, you've done very well already. I can handle the rest, and later I'll help you get that what...?"

"Primordial Blood Serum," Dai Jing said.

"Oh, right..."

Having shattered one layer of Holy Attribute, the Black Angel's strength was no longer that horrific.

Wu Hen switched his Protective Claw mode with his right hand, becoming an Extraordinary Hero that was a combination of Wolverine and Spiderman, battling the Black Angel who was now closer to a primitive mutated species.

The Black Angel displayed sheer brutality, like a mother eagle, attempting to tear open and eat the flesh and drink the blood of Wu Hen.

In the process of grappling with her, Wu Hen was frequently injured; after all, he was still sealed in a Sixth Rank Life state, his speed, strength, and defense were not strong enough. Relying on Third Rank Hearing, he could not accurately predict her unpredictably shifting attacks.

"Clang!"

The Protective Arm Claws slashed towards the Black Angel's neck and shoulder, and Wu Hen's Vajra Claw almost broke.

Wu Hen also realized that his current level of evolution was not enough and needed to use other sharper weapons to seriously wound the Black Angel.

Or, he must find the Black Angel's weak points.

Listening Sense released, Wu Hen did not withdraw despite the Black Angel's constant close-quarters pressure. He hoped to listen closely to her body structure at a short range.

When her Blood-Flame claws erupted, a surge of energy came from her chest and lungs.

When she fought with her black wings, the friction on her spinal bones was intense.

As for when her pointed feet stamped out roses of blood flames, this blazing force originated from the biochemical bones at her knees.

"The wings are the strongest."

"The claw blades come second."

"Her bodily flexibility has reached that of a Seventh-rank Life, her resistance to creation is also Seventh Rank, but her physical strength is a bit weaker..."

Wu Hen calmly analyzed in the midst of battle.

Since his other Perceptions were sealed off, he needed to focus even more on his Hearing, using it not only for listening but also for making judgments based on the various sounds and echoes he heard.

There were no weak points on her back.

No weak points on her chest and abdomen.

No weak points on her limbs and shoulders.

Her neck was not a weak point.

The head is not the weak point either...

Wu Hen ruled out one possibility after another while the cuts and bruises on his body continued to multiply.

Suddenly, the Black Angel spun around with a blade, like an empress in a rose robe demonstrating a waltz, but beneath her feet and around her body, black metal thorns suddenly burst forth. If Wu Hen had not detected the noise from the biochemical structure of her bones in advance and quickly slid back by releasing Thunder Magnetic Silk, he would have been turned into a human specimen for sure!

"How's it going???" Dai Jing asked.

"Almost found the weakness," Wu Hen replied, irritation rising in his voice.

He adjusted his state slightly and took a deep breath, almost subconsciously wanting to mobilize the True Yuan in his Dantian and use Holy Power to crush this Black Angel, but having written a letter of guarantee, Wu Hen did not want to break his word so soon.

Wu Hen pressed in again.

He focused his attention on the face of the Black Angel.

Recalling how this woman had previously used her tongue to suck the lifeforce from living people, Wu Hen realized that he had been neglecting a fundamental issue.

The Symbiotic Evil Woman he had first encountered upon entering the Otherworldly Desert Dust, a being with tentacles growing under its skirt, was clearly a Sang Demon too.

And the Big Loss Demon he had punched to death in the wasteland was a relative of the Symbiotic Evil Woman, in fact, the same species.

Whether it was the Symbiotic Evil Woman or the Meat Winged Loss Demon, they were actually early forms of this Black Angel. They kept evolving and ultimately would turn into the appearance of a Black Angel.

So the Symbiotic Evil Woman and Meat Winged Female Loss Demon both had important organs for making puppets, the Red Umbilical Core!

Where could the Red Umbilical Core of the Black Angel be?

In the battle with the Black Angel, Wu Hen had already scanned every organ of her body with his Listening Sense and had not found her Red Umbilical Core...

Until Wu Hen noticed that the Black Angel rarely used the bone structure in her face, and the facial area had not evolved any offensive, defensive, or auxiliary abilities. This meant that her most important Red Umbilical Core was likely to be on her face.

And what organ on the face would be the most fitting?

Only her tongue!

The Black Angel's tongue, connected to her entire body, was exactly where her Red Umbilical Core was... Previously, when the woman was blown up, she was lying on the artificial embryo. At first, Wu Hen did not understand why she was sticking her butt up, but now he realized she was connecting to the artificial embryo with her tongue.

The weakness lay in her tongue.

However, a creature's tongue, unless it has evolved into a powerful weapon or can regenerate, is generally not going to be exposed to the enemy during combat.

Prying open the mouth of the Black Angel would not be an easy task; so there was only one way—to deliberately expose a huge flaw, enticing her to stick out her tongue and suck out his life force on her own.

It was risky because in most cases, Alien Species during evolution would prevent prey from struggling at death's door, and would only open their mouths to eat after the prey is completely dead.

So all Wu Hen could do was take a gamble, betting that the Black Angel preferred to consume the fresh and alive. After all other methods of attack had proven ineffective against him, she might suddenly reveal this hidden deadly poison tongue in hopes of achieving a one-hit kill, while also satisfying her now more advanced desire for murder.

"I'm almost adjusted, if you run out of strength, switch with me," Dai Jing called out to Wu Hen from a distance.

Hearing this didn't make Wu Hen feel belittled, instead, a sense of joy welled up in his heart.

It was the Black Angel who should be worried now that Dai Jing's mechanical cells had cooled down.

Sure enough, the Black Angel seemed somewhat afraid of Dai Jing, and her attacks became more aggressive, using both her hands and wings as if she couldn't wait to kill Wu Hen, this tough nugget.

"No need, I've got this!" Wu Hen declared stubbornly.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Black Angel suddenly exploded with terrifying speed, closing the distance in an instant, and with her wings transformed into Feather Spears, she pierced Wu Hen's body.

Wu Hen forcibly twisted his body, narrowly avoiding vital points, and then wrapped his arms and legs around the Black Angel's limbs.

"Ssst!"

The Black Angel instantly spat out her tongue, striking like black lightning directly at Wu Hen's mouth.

She was trying to lock her tongue onto his and suck him dry through this organ to leave him a withered corpse!

Luckily, Wu Hen had already preempted the Black Angel's actions.

Ducking his head, Wu Hen dodged the terrifying tongue attack and instantly activated the laser blade on his Arm Guard, swiftly slicing through the Black Angel's tongue core.

The Black Angel's reaction was also incredibly fast.

She withdrew her tongue core with even greater speed, leaving only a gash on it from Wu Hen's arm blade.

But this was enough for Wu Hen.

Wu Hen used his forehead as a weapon, delivering a rocketing headbutt to the Black Angel!

With a headbutt that made the Black Angel see stars, Wu Hen immediately freed himself from the Feather Spear's restraint and grabbed her retreating tongue, then dragged her over to the position of the Iron Capsule.

The tongue core was the Black Angel's weak point, yet it was also incredibly tough, breaking it would not be easy.

Wu Hen didn't mind; having seized her tongue core, he now had the upper hand. His aim was to capture her alive, not to kill her.

The Black Angel's resistance noticeably weakened as Wu Hen pressed her onto the marked location of the Iron Capsule.

"Close the net!" Wu Hen shouted to Dai Jing.

As he spoke, Wu Hen dashed out of the marked area as the Iron Capsule closed.

Seeing this, Dai Jing also smiled and signaled the Black Deacon Corps to close the net, although her eyes were not fixed on the Black Angel, but on Wu Hen…
