American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Qi Shan's thin body hung on the Ironclad Cavalryman, like a child clinging to a massive grizzly bear, completely out of proportion.

The Ironclad Cavalryman grew impatient, repeatedly swinging its fists at Qi Shan.

Qi Shan casually waved his left hand, blocking when he could, enduring when he couldn't. In any case, the attacks had little effect on him, at most causing some wrinkles and tears in his clothes.

His right arm clamped around the Ironclad Cavalryman's helmet, as if holding a giant basketball.

"According to Big Brother Li, the monsters here can't die. I'm quite curious. I couldn't test it on the small monsters before, so I'll use you for an experiment!"

Qi Shan chuckled softly, applying slight pressure with his arm.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The Ironclad Cavalryman didn't utter a sound, but went berserk, constantly hammering Qi Shan's body with its arms and chains, trying to make him let go.

Qi Shan's eyes gleamed slightly: "You're getting anxious? So, you actually possess self-awareness? If we could communicate, I'd ask you to say 'spare me' first!"

The suggestion received no response. The Ironclad Cavalryman, like an iron-willed man, continued to launch its attacks head-on.

"Since that's the case, it's a pity. I need an internal intelligence investigator. If you can't talk, then I'll have to ask you to die!"

Qi Shan felt a little regret, twisted his body, supported himself against the Ironclad Cavalryman's torso with his left hand, and clamped his head tightly with his arm. With a sudden force, the Ironclad Cavalryman's head rotated 180 degrees.

The Ironclad Cavalryman's armor emitted a groan, and its bones cracked like firecrackers.

Bang!

With an explosive sound, Qi Shan forcibly twisted the Ironclad Cavalryman's entire head off.

A large amount of blood gushed out, splattering all over the walls and the ground, as if several pigs were being slaughtered and bled at the same time.

As the blood sprayed, Qi Shan could clearly feel that the Ironclad Cavalryman in front of him was weakening at a rapid pace. Even its cool-looking armor was somehow degrading, the previous gold-edged silver armor gradually reverting to a black-iron color.

It had once again become the appearance Qi Shan was familiar with.

"It's actually this kind of thing too. Could it be that it evolved to the next stage because it killed too many people and accumulated enough experience points?"

Qi Shan looked at the blood on the ground, feeling somewhat baffled. Faint rustling sounds began to appear on the ground again, and dense roots drilled out, instantly cleaning up the blood on the ground like a vacuum cleaner.

The corpse in Qi Shan's hand was dissipating in some form. The flesh and bones inside the armor gradually turned into black smoke, quickly merging into the mist, while the surface armor gradually split apart, turning into an iron chain once again.

So, it was this kind of thing after all!

Qi Shan recalled the scene of the Ironclad Cavalryman transforming people earlier, and he somewhat guessed where these Ironclad Cavalrymen came from!

With the enemy defeated, Qi Shan slowly withdrew his stance. His clothes had been damaged in several violent attacks, leaving them mostly in tatters.

Fortunately, this wasn't a big problem for Qi Shan. He snapped his fingers, and a beam of light quickly swept upwards from a corner, restoring Qi Shan's clothes to their original state.

After fighting barehanded for several battles, Qi Shan finally remembered to get a weapon.

These monsters looked really disgusting. Even Qi Shan didn't want to touch them too much.

It's better to use a knife, just chop them in half, saving time and effort!

Following the road towards the ancestral hall, he encountered several wandering, but indifferent, low-level Ironclad Cavalrymen. Qi Shan ignored them.

After casually killing a few hanging ghosts, he arrived at the front of the ancestral hall.

As expected, this was the most central area, and the density of the fog became smaller and smaller.

The small river he had crossed before seemed to be the dividing line. On this side of the ground, there were actually some purple grasses and some strange plants. These things should be the purple grass that Big Brother Li mentioned.

Qi Shan curiously glanced at them, but didn't pay too much attention. He directly pushed open the door and entered the ancestral hall. Just as he was about to observe, the corner of his eye caught a faint light flickering in the depths of the first-floor corridor.

Qi Shan narrowed his eyes and walked straight over.

The ancestral hall wasn't too big, but the layout was very orderly.

The front was where the memorial tablets were placed, for descendants to offer incense. The back was a place to temporarily store coffins. Although the rooms were separated, no one lived here.

The middle was a typical courtyard with a well in the center. Above the well, a lush tree grew.

This tree was very eye-catching. Its trunk was woven from a large number of dry vines, and the delicate branches and leaves were of a similar shape.

Qi Shan could faintly sense the thick roots extending from the well down into the ground.

With Kagura Shingan fully activated, the sensing ability, enhanced by chakra, instantly spread along the tree's roots to the entire town.

"So, it was you causing trouble!"

The well under the tree was empty of water. The previous underground waterway was now filled with black liquid.

This liquid was quite common, it was the stuff that the strange creatures transformed into after death.

The tree in front of him suddenly shook slightly. Qi Shan looked up slightly, and a finger-thick vine extended from the trunk, trembled slightly, and fell directly to the ground.

New roots extended out, injecting something into the vine.

The vine vibrated gently, and quickly transformed into a familiar chain at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qi Shan smiled: "It's good that you admit it!"

Qi Shan didn't have a specific concept of so-called dark power before, but after seeing this strange tree in front of him, Qi Shan felt that he understood a little.

His feet gently parted, his hands clasped together, Qi Shan shouted softly in front of the tree: "Wood Release, Wood Human Technique!"

With the blessing of professional abilities, the ground trembled slightly, and a large number of trees grew out of thin air, twisting and combining into a huge wooden figure.

The tree trembled slightly, as if anticipating something. The ground began to frantically drill out a large number of roots, twisting and combining into thick vines, spontaneously extending towards the wooden figure, trying to bind it.

This was of course impossible. Under absolute power, the resistance of the vines was negligible.

Even if some vines were successfully bound, they would be easily broken apart by the slightest movement of the wooden figure.

Crack, crack, crack!

As the sound of a large number of steel bars breaking came, the wooden figure's huge palm descended from the sky, grabbed the thick trunk, and with a sudden force, the tree was directly uprooted.

Ah—!

The tree trunk shook, emitting a piercing scream.

More trees rushed out of the ground, heading directly towards Qi Shan!

"You finally found your target! Unfortunately, from the moment you saw me, your fate was already sealed!"
