Before Han Shuo could react, metal elite zombie was pulled into the bottom of the swamp by the monstrous arm. All that was left were a few small bubbles.
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment before he leapt into the swamp. With one thought, the seventeen flying swords whizzed out and pierced into the swamp.
Metal elite zombie and Han Shuo could communicate telepathically. Han Shuo could clearly sense metal elite zombie's position. The seventeen flying swords flashed and disappeared into the swamp. Just as Han Shuo approached, earth-shattering rumbles came from the depths of the swamp. Filthy muddy water shot up into the sky.
"Come out!" Han Shuo coldly shouted. He used his mind to control the seventeen flying swords to wreak havoc in the swamp.
Seventeen flying swords stabbed into the body of a humanoid creature wrapped tightly in mud, directly bringing him out of the depths of the swamp. A few other flying swords struck his body with crackling sounds, producing metallic clangs.
"What a monster!" Metal elite zombie loudly cursed. He flew out from the swamp after the humanoid creature. His body was covered in mud and he was spitting out toxic muddy water from his mouth.
"Rose, how come it's you?" A hoarse roar came from the humanoid creature. Sparks sparkled from the seventeen flying swords as the mud on his body slowly fell off.
In the blink of an eye, not a trace of filth could be seen on his body. A body with a metallic luster was exposed before everyone's eyes. He had the shape of a human, but the lines on his body were like iron and stone. His eyes glowed with a dusky light. He looked indescribably strange.
The seventeen flying swords possessed intense corrosive power. However, when they struck the creature's body, they didn't seem to have any effect. His body didn't rot in the slightest and he wasn't affected by the cold energy.
"Romont, is that you?" Rose wasn't too sure and cautiously asked.
"It's me!" The strange creature's dusky eyes turned and sized up Han Shuo and the others. He asked, "What are you doing here? Who are they? "
"I came to find you. They are my friends." Rose answered immediately. After a moment of hesitation, Rose asked awkwardly, "Romont, how did you become like this?"
"Father, the surface of that guy's body is filled with rare metals, and his internal organs are filled with all kinds of toxins. He's not afraid of your flying sword's attacks." Han Jin flew out of the swamp and shouted. The Golden Cudgel suddenly appeared in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into the size of a towering tree and smashed towards him.
Under the attack of Han Shuo's seventeen flying swords, the man named Romont appeared calm and unruffled. However, when metal elite zombie attacked with the Golden Cudgel, he appeared to be very apprehensive and hastily dodged to the side, not bothering to talk to Rose.
"Hehe, idiot, your body is full of metal. Where can you escape to?" Han Jin sneered. He didn't seem to make any movements, but the Golden Cudgel seemed to have eyes of its own. It flew out of his hand and chased after that guy.
No matter how that person dodged, he couldn't avoid the Golden Cudgel's attacks. Violent sounds of attacks rang out on his body. In just a short while, Han Jin's Golden Cudgel had already struck his body five times.
The Golden Cudgel was a metal attribute treasure and had a marvelous ability to sense metals. Romont's body was composed of a large amount of rare metals. He simply couldn't escape the Golden Cudgel's attacks. Under the miraculous effects of the Golden Cudgel, no matter where he fled to, he couldn't avoid the attacks.
As the saying goes, everything has its vanquisher. It was very reasonable. With his entire body composed of rare metals and his body filled with all kinds of toxins, even Han Shuo wouldn't find it easy to touch Romont. However, the existence of metal elite zombie was faintly restraining him. The Golden Cudgel had a marvelous ability to sense metals. He wasn't afraid of the bombardment of Han Shuo's seventeen flying swords. However, under the continuous and ferocious strikes of the Golden Cudgel, he was seeing stars. That body of his that could defend against all kinds of divine energy attacks seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
"Dammit, you dare to sneak up on me!" Han Jin cursed as he struck. "I might not be able to handle most people, but to kill you, it's just too easy!" As the metal attribute spiritual item of the Five Elite Zombies, metal elite zombie was simply the bane of Romont. The Golden Cudgel in his hand was even more lethal. It left Romont with nowhere to run.
After a short while, Romont gave up on his futile attempts to flee. He shouted at Rose, "I didn't know it was you! Tell him to stop! Rose, we were comrades in arms back then. I even helped you when Buzz and Bertha were hunting you down. How can you just stand by and watch? "
"Let him go." Rose pleaded as she looked at Han Shuo, "Back then, Romont did help me. If it wasn't for him, I might not have been able to escape from the Fringe. I don't think he did it on purpose. Besides, now that he has been taught a lesson, it should be enough, right? "
Han Shuo didn't come here to kill anyone. When he saw that Romont had been taught a lesson, Han Shuo nodded at Han Jin and smilingly said, "Have you had enough? Stinking brat, stop right now! "
Han Jin put on a mischievous smile. He raised his hand and waved. The Golden Cudgel that had been staring at Romont flew back to him. It rapidly shrunk to the size of a needle when it returned to Han Jin's hand.
"Father, this fella's body structure is unique. I'm afraid that an average highgod won't be a match for him. Hehe, it's unfortunate that he ran into me. I can play with him however I want! "said Han Jin complacently. He had a great sense of accomplishment.
After the Golden Cudgel was withdrawn, Romont, who was seeing stars, gradually returned to normal. After a while, he put on a grimace and said to Rose, "Long time no see. You're really something."
The outer layer of Romont's body was made of rare metals. However, not all of the metals were as hard as iron or stone. Some of them were shockingly flexible and tough. The metal on Romont's face, in particular, could contract and compress freely like skin. It did not affect the rich expressions on his face at all.
"You were hiding in the swamp and attacked me as soon as you appeared. How would I know that it was you?" Rose glared at Romont and asked in astonishment, "Romont, how did you end up like this? I don't remember you looking like this before."
Not only Rose, but Han Shuo was also very curious. He had no idea how Han Shuo managed to transform into this form. It was obvious that Han Shuo was not born with such a body. He must have obtained it through some fortuitous encounter. Fortunately, Han Shuo had Metal Elite Zombie with him. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to deal with this fella.
Han Shuo observed for a moment and noticed that the area was littered with white bones. He reckoned that many gods had died in this area. If Han Shuo's guess was right, those gods were killed by Romont. This indicated that Romont possessed extraordinary strength!
"Not long after you left the Fringe, I was besieged and severely injured. I desperately fled to this place. Here, my body was corroded by all sorts of toxins and started to rot. Disheartened, I crawled into the swamp. I don't know why, but the rare metals and toxins in the swamp slowly attached themselves to my rotting body. I thought I was going to die soon, so I just kept waiting. I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, I would still be alive, and my body would also undergo earth-shattering changes. That's how I ended up like this, "Romon recounted his experience under Rose's questioning.
"Right under the swamp?" Rose was stunned. She did not expect that Han Shuo would have such a strange experience.
Romont nodded and put on a strange expression. He continued, "That's right. I don't even know what I am now. Not only my body, but even my divine soul has changed. Sometimes, I even feel that I am a piece of stone, as though I have been dead for a very long time … "
Romon had a blank look on his face. He seemed to be in a daze, as if he no longer existed.
"I've noticed that there are many corpses in this swamp. Were they all killed by you?" Han Shuo smiled and suddenly interjected with a question.
"Yes. Many years ago, I killed a few people who came in here. One of them managed to escape. As soon as he left this swamp, he started spreading rumors that I have a great treasure in my body. The Fringe is never short of greedy and ruthless people. For a long period of time, I was hunted down by those who came in to kill me. If it wasn't for the earth-shattering changes in my body, I would have been killed long ago.
All these years, I would proactively kill those who came to this swamp to warn those people not to act rashly. I thought you were the same kind of people. That's why I attacked you! "explained Romont.
Han Shuo smiled and nodded at Rose. He said, "Not bad, not bad at all! To be able to kill so many intruders, he must have some skills. Hmm, tell him about it! "
The reason Rose brought Han Shuo here was to recruit Romont. After hearing Han Shuo's words, Rose looked at Romont and said, "Romont, follow my master. Buzz and Bertha have been killed. You can't stay in this swamp forever, can you? "
"What? Buzz and Bertha are dead?" Romont was shocked. He looked at Han Shuo suspiciously and asked, "You killed them?"
"You can say that." Han Shuo smiled and said to Romont, "I don't think it's easy to stay in this swamp. Hmm, if you stay here forever, you will only gradually lose yourself. Come with me. I can see that your body is special. Perhaps, it can bring you some benefits. "
Romont's body was an excellent material for refining weapons. As long as Han Shuo put his heart into it, he could use Romont as a base to refine a weapon. Perhaps, he could enhance Romont's potential.
"You can hide from others, but you can't hide from me. If you don't agree, I'll beat you to death! "sneered Han Jin. He took out the Golden Cudgel and swung it at Romont from a distance.
One was tempting, the other was threatening, and Rose was playing the emotional card. Romon's face was filled with bitterness. He hung his head, realizing that he had no choice at all. After hesitating for a while, he nodded helplessly and expectantly.
