Chapter 262: Chapter 41: The Mature Lady City Lord Will Not Encounter Evil Tentacle Monsters! Hometown Specialty Cuisine! (2)
This official game hint from Wasteland was like the final straw igniting the fire of greed.
Whoosh——!
Nangong Linglong didn’t hesitate and shot forward.
In just an instant.
She appeared not far from the Mutated Black Tiger.
“Human!”
The Mutated Black Tiger stared at Nangong Linglong, whose body was flickering with four colored Attribute Energy, its face ferocious and twisted.
“How dare you!”
“All of this is my wealth, mine!”
The Mutated Black Tiger roared, struggling to rise from the ground.
Drip——!
With its movement, blood kept spilling everywhere.
The spot where it had been lying now revealed a small pool brimming with blood.
“My lord!”
“We are here!”
Gao Sheng and the other Tier Eight Evolvers moved no slower than Nangong Linglong.
At this moment, they stood by her side, eyes locked onto the severely wounded, dying Tier Ten Mutated Giant Tiger, brimming with fighting spirit.
A fully-powered Tier Ten Mutant Beast was out of their league.
But one at death’s door—surely they could put up a fight?
“As long as we kill this giant tiger…”
“All those Crystals will belong to us!”
Gao Sheng couldn’t help laughing aloud to the sky.
But…
The laughter didn’t last long.
Because——
At the moment Gao Sheng and the Tier Eight Evolvers set foot in the valley, the Mutated Giant Tiger that a second ago had looked exhausted suddenly changed expression.
Its aura still felt weak.
After all, just as Nangong Linglong had sensed, the serious injury was no fake.
Except.
On its huge, savage black face, the previous fierce facade was gone, replaced with a mocking, human-like sneer.
“Foolish and greedy humans.”
“No different than the ones from yesterday.”
The Mutated Black Tiger’s voice became eerily calm.
Nangong Linglong and her party’s faces instantly changed.
Buzz——!
At that instant.
Black mist suddenly began to surge around the valley, out of nowhere.
“Damn!”
“My Shuttle Ability has been blocked!”
“We’re trapped in this valley!”
A Tier Eight Evolver muttered under his breath.
Before he finished speaking.
The black mist barrier around the valley had already fully formed.
Boom——!
Nangong Linglong’s pretty face darkened as she unleashed a four-colored beam at the edge of the valley.
Buzz——
A full-force strike from a Tier Nine Powerhouse hit the black mist but didn’t even cause a ripple.
Whoosh——!
Nangong Linglong darted toward the valley’s edge.
Yet in the next moment.
She had clearly dashed out of the valley—only to return to where she started.
“Stupid.”
The Black Tiger watched their attempts coldly.
It turned slowly, lowering its huge tiger head toward the void behind it.
“My lord…”
Just a simple address, but full of respect and profound reverence.
Buzz——!
In the void.
The true master finally made its entrance.
It was that bizarre tentacle monster covered in eyes.
Pitch black all over, about a kilometer long, swaying in midair like seaweed.
Its surface was covered with eyes large and small, each one rolling, utterly unsettling.
Most crucially…
The aura from this tentacle far surpassed the Mutated Black Tiger.
From Yu Jin’s perspective, its Value was laid bare at this moment.
15,000,000—mid-stage Tier Twelve Evolver.
By comparison.
The Tier Ten Mutated Black Tiger and Tier Nine Nangong Linglong only had Values just above 500,000.
The gap between the two—a full thirtyfold difference.
“We’re screwed!”
“This, this…”
“This must be a true Star System-Level Mutant Beast!”
The Linglong City group turned pale.
The moment the tentacle appeared, its terrifying pressure and evil aura made everyone from Tier Eight to Tier Nine’s hearts pound wildly!
Under its oppressive aura, the flow of Attribute Energy within their bodies became sluggish and clouded.
“Heh——”
The tentacle swaying in midair clearly possessed substantial intelligence.
Like the Black Tiger before, it too could speak human language.
“De…li…cious…!”
The two syllables sounded like a death sentence for the Linglong City party.
“Fusion Skill——”
“Wind-Fire-Thunder-Lightning Lotus!”
Nangong Linglong’s clear shout suddenly shattered the valley’s silence.
From the moment the tentacle appeared, she had already started charging her ultimate attack.
This strike was her Tier Nine Ability fusion of Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Light!
In the void.
Even Yu Jin raised an eyebrow at this spectacle.
“Ability fusion?”
“That seems like an excellent path for me?”
Yu Jin pondered silently.
The next moment.
Boom——!
The four-colored lotus slammed onto the kilometer-long tentacle.
And then…
There was no then.
Even this stunning attack, nearly at Tier Ten level, with a Value approaching one million,
was useless—a million Value couldn’t even scratch the tentacle monster’s defenses.
“You…”
“Even… more… delicious!”
The kilometer-long tentacle writhed, seemingly even more ecstatic.
In the void.
Black mist poured forth continuously.
Within a blink.
The black mist began to corrode the Attribute Energy within Linglong City’s group.
Like ice meeting fire, melting endlessly.
In just a few breaths.
Tier Eight Evolvers, Tier Nine Nangong Linglong—their Attribute Energy was completely depleted!
In its place, black mist rampaged inside them, endlessly devouring flesh and blood.
“Ah——!”
Screams echoed throughout the valley.
Whoosh——!
Suddenly.
The kilometer-long tentacle split into hundreds of smaller tentacle roots.
The tiny tentacles shot forth, and in an instant, every Tier Eight Evolver was tightly bound.
As Linglong City’s strategist, Gao Sheng could no longer shout, “The bigger the waves, the pricier the fish.” Now, on the verge of being strangled to death by a single tentacle, he could just gasp in terror.
