Lu Chen smiled and lightly stroked his backpack,
"There are some troublesome Wing Clan staring at us from the sky. Don't come out yet."
"Guji."
Little dumpling responded and immediately quieted down.
He had to be the most obedient, absolutely not causing trouble for his Master.
Lu Chen waved his hand,
Putting the enormous body of the Shadow Nightmare Beast King into his storage ring.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his thoughts turned.
The power of the Shadow Nightmare Beast King just now fluctuated between 400-500 points, far exceeding that of a 10th-tier fierce beast.
Had he not timely used Mountain Strength and Power Super-Enhancement,
In a contest of strength, it would have been difficult to suppress this colossal creature.
And this Shadow Nightmare Beast King did not have the special attributes of a Boss,
It was just an ordinary fierce beast.
From this, he inferred,
That creatures might experience a qualitative leap after crossing the 10th tier.
"Awoo—!"
Seeing their King so easily beheaded,
The remaining Shadow Nightmare Beasts on the Seal Altar were instantly terrified,
They let out desperate wails,
Jumping into the surging seawater and scattering in all directions.
They did not want to follow in the footsteps of their King,
Becoming Lu Chen's next victim under his blade.
Looking at the instantly quiet Seal Altar, Lu Chen couldn't help but frown,
Again,
Last time when he killed the Gorgon, those Giant Rock Armored Lizards scattered and fled for their lives,
It was the same this time after killing the Shadow Nightmare Beast King,
If he could have caught all these Shadow Nightmare Beasts in one go,
He should have been able to level up to 10.
It seemed,
He lacked a large-scale crowd control skill.
"Captain, you're getting more and more fierce. That big black rat just now was 14th-tier, and you killed him with one slash? It won't be long before you become the Master of the Ocean!"
Jack came over, flattering profusely with a fawning expression.
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly find a way to break the seal. That Shadow Nightmare Beast King is not the Boss mentioned in the quest."
Lu Chen lightly rebuked,
His gaze sweeping around, searching for the key to solving the puzzle.
"Yes, Captain!"
Jack responded, his gaze suddenly locking onto the statue,
"Captain, look!"
Lu Chen followed Jack's finger,
He saw that at the base of the tentacle statue, the originally invisible platform gradually became visible.
The platform was covered with a thick layer of grayish-white moss and various parasitic shellfish creatures.
Between the gaps of the moss and shells, faint grooves were visible,
They intertwined to form a mysterious and unpredictable seal pattern,
Emitting a faint eerie glow, as if containing some ancient and powerful force.
"Captain, that must be where the seal is! There must be the mechanism to break the seal hidden in the middle!"
Jack shouted excitedly, quickly running towards the platform.
Lu Chen's eyes sharpened, and he followed closely.
Indeed,
In the very center of the seal pattern, there was a fist-sized groove,
Surrounded by intricate runes, it should be the core hub of the entire seal.
Seeing the Seal Altar gradually reveal its true form,
The Storm Wing Clan in the sky instantly became agitated.
"It's visible! The Seal Altar is visible!"
"He's going to break the seal!"
"I really don't know what is sealed here?"
"In the Prophet's prophecy, the key to the survival of our clan is right here!"
Prophet Feng Lie's gaze swept over his excited tribesmen, and he calmly instructed:
"Children, that Human's strength is unfathomable. After he breaks the seal, we must avoid conflict with him. Seize the object of opportunity and withdraw immediately."
"Perhaps many tribesmen will fall at his hands, but as long as the Storm Wing Clan can continue, all sacrifices are worth it!"
"Understood!"
"Prophet, don't worry!"
"We are not afraid of death!"
However, Yun Ting, who was off to the side, frowned deeply, his heart heavy.
For some reason, he always had a premonition,
That everyone, including the Prophet, might have misunderstood the true meaning of the prophecy.
But at this moment,
The arrow was on the bowstring, and he could not afford to think further.
Yun Ting tightly gripped the spear in his hand, his gaze fixed downwards,
His heart already filled with resolute preparation.
...
On Lu Chen's side, after some exploration,
He discovered,
The groove in the center of the seal,
Could perfectly fit the Shadow Nightmare Beast King's crystal core,
Presumably, this Shadow Nightmare Beast King's crystal core,
Was the key to breaking the seal.
"Captain, even the Shadow Nightmare Beast King, which serves as the key, has 14th-tier strength. I estimate that whatever is sealed inside won't be weak!"
Jack reminded in a deep voice.
"It's fine,"
Lu Chen steeled his heart,
Embedding the dark crystal core into the groove,
"At worst, we die once. We all have the Undead Curse, what's there to fear?"
The crystal core instantly melted,
Turning into a pure energy that slowly flowed along the grooves,
Gradually outlining the intricate seal runes.
"Rumble—!"
Accompanied by a loud noise, the entire sealing area began to vibrate violently.
Immediately after,
A blinding light suddenly erupted,
Under the shroud of light,
A heart-palpitating evil aura quietly rose.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha, after hundreds of years, I, Vantoros, have finally broken free from this damned seal and regained my freedom! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Accompanied by deafening maniacal laughter,
A figure like a mountain of flesh slowly appeared in Lu Chen's line of sight.
【Lord of Gluttony. Vantoros (Boss-level creature)】
【Traits: Four Arms, Robust Physique, Devour, Evil, Hunger】
【Talent: Steel Bone (B-rank)】
【Skill 1: Gluttonous Devour (C-rank) - His massive abdominal mouth can devour anything, whether biological or non-biological. Devoured objects are rapidly digested in his stomach acid, converting into Vantoros's strength. This ability allows him to quickly recover stamina during combat and continue fighting. (Always be careful of the giant mouth on his abdomen)】
【Skill 2: Berserk Transformation (B-rank) - When Vantoros falls into extreme hunger or rage, he enters a berserk state. In this state, his strength and speed are greatly increased, and his appearance becomes more hideous and terrifying. (Activates Phase Two?)】
【Combat Power Assessment: 12th-tier (Cough, cough, 12th-tier is for ordinary creatures. This guy has the Boss template. Calculate the specific combat power yourself. My head hurts from calculating. You freaks are too troublesome...)】
"Ho... holy hell..."
"What... what the heck is this???"
Jack's eyes widened,
Staring intently at Vantoros in front of him, he involuntarily swallowed his saliva.
The fierce creature in front of him was a full four meters tall,
With a massive build,
Like a moving mountain of flesh,
His four arms were thick and powerful,
His skin was dark gray, covered in wrinkles and bumps, appearing exceptionally tough.
Most terrifying of all,
His obese abdomen had split open into a huge gap,
Forming a massive mouth filled with sharp fangs,
Digesting substances churned in the stomach acid of the giant mouth, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
Although Jack himself was a Boss-level being,
At this moment,
Vantoros made him feel an unprecedented sense of terrifying oppression.
