The scarab was not alive, but rather a mechanical scarab created by hollowing out its body and filling it with various gears and parts.
Possessing a strong mechanical and mysterious aura, the mechanical scarab was one of the representative artifacts of the steampunk world.
As the mechanical scarabs emerged from Robben's clothes, they immediately spread their wings. Then, with the continuous sound of gears turning, they flew directly towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye retreated while waving his hands, trying to drive away the mechanical scarabs.
But as Bai Ye swung his arm, a mechanical scarab directly latched onto his arm. Immediately, a silver needle shot out from the tail end of the mechanical scarab, piercing into Bai Ye's arm.
Bai Ye couldn't help but frown. He looked at his arm. After being pierced by the mechanical scarab, a small red dot suddenly appeared on his arm, and his skin felt a tingling sensation.
At the same time...
More mechanical scarabs surrounded Bai Ye.
Bai Ye immediately raised Yong Zhen Nan Huang and swept it, shattering seven or eight mechanical scarabs.
However, there were too many mechanical scarabs, and they could fly and crawl, approaching Bai Ye from all directions and positions.
Bai Ye shattered the mechanical scarabs in front of him, but two mechanical scarabs flew from behind and landed on Bai Ye's neck. Their tails extended fine needles, and other scarabs quickly crawled from the ground, climbed onto Bai Ye's calf, and then shot out fine needles, piercing into Bai Ye's calf.
At this moment, Robben stood up again and swung his broadsword towards Bai Ye.
Clang!
A crisp clashing sound occurred. The effect of Yong Zhen Nan Huang's San Chi Wu Di was activated, repelling Robben. However, the fellow was relentless. The moment he was repelled, he lunged forward again.
But this time, Bai Ye did not let Robben get close.
Seven-Colored Sword Qi (generating seven-colored sword qi by agitating the Seven Swords, seven at a time, with a 10-second interval between each use)
A humming sword cry suddenly sounded. The seven-colored flying swords vibrated in the air and then slashed down from above.
Seven-colored sword qi descended from the sky, continuously slashing downwards.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
The sword qi hit the ground, and continuous booming sounds echoed. The surrounding ground instantly shattered, and countless debris flew up, scattering in all directions.
Robben quickly retreated, creating distance to dodge the attack, then he raised his palm...
Two brass spheres suddenly appeared, and Robben threw them into the air.
Tumbling in the air, the sound of mechanical rotation continuously emanated from within the two brass spheres. As the tops opened, propellers popped out. With the rotation of the propellers, the two brass spheres flew into the air.
Propeller Robot II.
As a chosen one of the steampunk world, sword skills and close-quarters combat were not Robben's forte.
Or rather, these were combat abilities Robben gained after entering the world battlefield, as were the improvements and enhancements to his physical attributes. When he first entered the world battlefield, Robben's physical attribute scores were not much higher than Bai Ye's.
Because, what the chosen ones of the steampunk world were best at should be...
Machines!
The propeller robots flew in the air, and then three hidden compartments opened, revealing three black cannon barrels as thick as fingers.
Seeing the seven-colored sword light approaching again, Robben immediately shouted, "Artillery!"
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of artillery fire erupted. The cannon barrels of the two propeller robots began to accumulate energy, and then white light beams shot out, colliding with the seven-colored sword light.
The roaring sounds were incessant, and explosions continuously occurred in the air. White shattered energy halos drifted down, pure and flawless, like snow, looking extremely beautiful.
Bai Ye was somewhat surprised. Those two propeller robots had something!
They were equipped with energy weapons from the future technology world.
However, they were too small!
The propeller robots were not large to begin with, and their cannon barrels were only as thick as fingers. Therefore, the energy beams they fired were only slightly more powerful than the beams from Bai Ye's pulse pistol, but their penetration effect was inferior to that of the pulse pistol's beams.
Thus, the two propeller robots did not intend to directly confront the Seven-Colored Rainbow Flying Swords, but rather to delay the attack of the Seven-Colored Rainbow, preventing the sword light from continuously attacking Robben.
Robben, seizing the opportunity, charged towards Bai Ye again.
He thrust his broadsword forward, and Robben once again assumed a thrusting stance.
"Fang Tu Ci!" (Fanged Thrust!)
Robben charged rapidly, thrusting his broadsword forward.
Clang!
A crisp clashing sound of weapons rang out again. Robben's sword struck Yong Zhen Nan Huang once more.
Robben grinned ferociously and looked at Bai Ye, saying, "That should be enough, right? Still trying to hold on?"
Bai Ye looked at Robben with a confused expression and asked, "What are you referring to?"
"Heh, you think you can be fine just by pretending nothing's wrong?" Robben said, "Don't you feel your limbs are cold, and your body is starting to lose control involuntarily? Even though your brain is reacting, your body can't keep up? That's because you've been hit by my neurotoxin!"
Bai Ye showed a look of realization and said, "So the needles of those mechanical scarabs are poisonous."
Robben laughed heartily, "Realizing it now, isn't it too late?"
Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then looked at Robben and said, "You seem to have misunderstood something."
A large amount of purple venom seeped out from Bai Ye's pores, covering his entire body in an instant. It even flowed down Bai Ye's body onto the ground.
Hiss, hiss...
The floor immediately made a hissing sound, showing signs of being scorched.
Bai Ye said, "It seems poison doesn't affect me."
As Bai Ye spoke, he raised Yong Zhen Nan Huang and swept it forward forcefully.
With a clang, Yong Zhen Nan Huang struck Robben's broadsword. The immense force, combined with the repelling effect of Yong Zhen Nan Huang's San Chi Wu Di, sent Robben flying again. He crashed directly into the office area, hitting a desk and smashing it to pieces.
Bai Ye clenched his fist, cracking his knuckles, and then threw a punch.
"Let me teach you what poison really is!"
A large amount of venom was splashed forward the moment Bai Ye swung his fist. It quickly condensed, forming a venomous dragon that lunged at Robben with bared teeth and claws.
Seeing this, Robben quickly rolled on the ground.
But...
The moment the venomous dragon hit the ground, its body shattered, and the venom immediately splattered. A large amount of venom landed on Robben's calf.
"Ah!"
Robben's expression changed drastically, and he let out a loud scream. The intense pain contorted his entire face.
