The eagerness and regret on Fu Yao and Hao Qi's faces hadn't faded before they instantly froze into disbelieving stupor.
"Big... Big Brother... actually... the Gorgon..."
Fu Yao stared blankly at Lu Chen's tall, pine-like figure, her voice trembling with disbelief.
The scene before her completely overturned her understanding.
She couldn't imagine how that seemingly ordinary Human Big Brother
could, with a single strike, blast apart the head of that infamous Gorgon.
This Human Big Brother is truly amazing!
Hao Qi's mouth hung open, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
He was utterly shocked.
A fourth-tier Human instantly killing a fifth-tier peak fierce beast?
Is this a joke?
His previous understanding of the power system was unprecedentedly challenged at this moment,
leaving him dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
Finally, he managed to squeeze out two words with great effort,
"Awesome... awesome..."
He had actually looked down on this Human before.
That was a huge mistake.
He knew the terror of the Gorgon all too well.
This giant lizard tyrant often lurked in the sea, posing a huge threat to the Mermaid.
Hao Qi's tribe had once fought against the Gorgon,
but the result was exceptionally tragic—two fifth-tier Mermaid elders and dozens of Mermaid warriors sacrificed themselves bravely, yet they couldn't even harm a single hair of the Gorgon.
However,
such a dominant creature in the sea,
was now lying under Lu Chen's blade, mercilessly beheaded.
This Human is simply terrifyingly powerful!
...
At this moment, Lu Chen stared at the Gorgon, which was separated from its body and had no breath,
He raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Hmm? Why is there no kill notification? And no life energy?"
Is it because this guy has two heads?
Just now, Lu Chen's Breaking Wind move directly blasted the Gorgon's left head,
But its right head, which was sleeping, was still intact.
"Heh, not completely dead? I don't believe it. If I cut off your other head, you still won't die!"
Lu Chen snorted coldly,
and was about to step forward to finish it off.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Just look,
Just look at the Gorgon's right head, which was originally lifeless and had its eyes tightly closed, slowly opened its eyes.
Those eyes were as black as an abyss, revealing a strange eerie light, as if they could swallow all light.
At the same time, an unprecedented aura of terror and evil surged out from within the Gorgon, instantly spreading throughout the entire battlefield. This dark energy,
was cold, twisted, and instilled fear in people's hearts.
"Crack, crack, crack—"
Accompanied by a strange sound,
A large number of black crystals emerged from within the Gorgon, quickly covering its entire body, like an indestructible dark armor.
Against the backdrop of this demonic armor,
The Gorgon completely transformed into a ferocious and terrifying pitch-black demonic beast, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lu Chen's expression changed slightly.
"Mutated?"
He could feel that the Gorgon before him was no longer the same monster as before,
but had been awakened by some unknown force and possessed even more terrifying power.
Unknown energy?
Wait!
Lu Chen suddenly thought,
Before landing on Giant Lizard Island, he saw a pitch-black meteorite in the center of the island when scouting with seagulls.
And the Gorgon was nesting in that huge meteorite crater.
Could it be that this dark and evil energy,
was carried by that meteorite?
...
In the distance,
Hao Qi witnessed this scene, his face instantly turned pale, and he exclaimed in a choked voice,
"Oh no! It's the dark marrow. The Gorgon has actually absorbed the power of the dark marrow!"
Fu Yao, standing beside him, heard Hao Qi's words, and her pretty little face instantly filled with worry.
"I heard Grandpa Clan Chief say that any creature that absorbs the power of the dark marrow, although it will become exceptionally powerful as a result, will also completely lose its mind and become a monster that only knows how to kill madly..."
Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with fear of the unknown danger.
"That Gorgon was already incredibly strong, and now it has gained the power of the dark marrow. Isn't Human Big Brother in extreme danger?"
Speaking of this,
Fu Yao couldn't help but grab Hao Qi's arm, her eyes flashing with anxiety.
"Brother Hao Qi, those creatures that have absorbed the dark marrow will eventually become terrifying existences that only know how to kill."
"They will destroy all life that appears before them. The creatures in the entire sea area will not be spared, and our Mermaid will also find it difficult to protect ourselves!"
"We must quickly go back and find Grandpa Clan Chief and the others, and ask them to help Human Big Brother fight against the Gorgon!"
However, facing Fu Yao's plea, Hao Qi could only shake his head with a bitter smile.
"Fu Yao, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just... even if all the strong individuals in our tribe were to go out, we probably wouldn't be able to fight against the Demonized Gorgon."
He sighed, his gaze fixed on the Gorgon on the island.
"What we can do, perhaps, is to notify the tribe to migrate as soon as possible, and the further away the better..."
A trace of unconcealed fear flashed in Hao Qi's eyes as he recalled the disaster from several years ago.
At that time, a fourth-tier Demonized creature appeared here.
That monster almost plunged the entire sea area into despair.
Countless fifth-tier, and even sixth-tier, strong individuals joined forces but failed to subdue it, and could only watch helplessly as it wreaked havoc.
And the current Gorgon was originally a terrifying existence at the peak of the fifth-tier.
Now that it has absorbed the power of the dark marrow, to what extent its strength will rise,
Hao Qi simply couldn't imagine.
...
After being Demonized, the Gorgon's pitch-black eyes were locked onto Lu Chen,
His eyes were filled with endless killing intent and madness.
This Human,
is delicious!
I want to eat him!
"Roar—!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Gorgon's four limbs suddenly tensed.
As it exerted force, its massive body actually showed astonishing agility that was completely inconsistent with its size.
It was like a giant runaway cannonball, charging towards Lu Chen with destructive power.
"So fast!"
Lu Chen's heart tightened, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Relying on his keen intuition and extraordinary reaction speed, he threw himself to the right with all his might.
Almost at the last moment, he narrowly avoided the Gorgon's fatal collision.
"Hahaha, my famous Lord Jack is resurrected again!"
Jack's severely damaged body, which had been torn apart by the Giant Rock Armored Lizard, was successfully resurrected under the power of the Undead Curse.
However, before Jack could put his hands on his hips and show off,
he saw a terrifying giant creature covered in black crystals crashing towards him.
"No way..."
Jack only had time to say three words.
His body, which had just recovered with great difficulty,
was instantly crushed.
