Chapter 206: Second Totem Solar Angler, Taking a Magma Bath

A lava flow with a high temperature of over a thousand degrees sprayed out from the Solar Angler's huge fish mouth, and the dazzling red light lit up Tang Zheng's field of vision!

The terrifying heat wave surged over instantly.

Boom!

The red magma turned into a huge wave surging into the sky.

"Seventh-rank magic: Chain Water Dragon!" Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he let out a low chant.

To deal with such a move, other attribute magic was clearly not suitable; such a magma attack would inevitably explode once it collided with other attribute magic.

At that time, the splashing magma would be a greater threat to Tang Zheng.

The surging water flow condensed rapidly; in such a high-temperature environment, it easily condensed streams of thick water around Tang Zheng's body, surrounding him.

Bang!

It suddenly rushed out from between Tang Zheng's arms, turning into two huge water dragons in the air, and collided with the red magma.

Pshhh—

The moment the two attacks collided, a large amount of white steam and smoke splashed up, and the magma surging over in a sky-covering manner was easily dispersed by the two water dragons.

The surrounding air was dispersed by the two amazing forces, forming an invisible heat wave wind, spreading in all directions.

Wherever the water dragons passed, they rapidly cooled the high temperature emitted by the magma, and large patches of magma solidified into pieces of black-brown magma rubble, scattering in mid-air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This rubble scattered, smashing onto the surrounding ground and rock walls, making dull, dense sounds!

Boom!

After the Chain Water Dragon dispersed the red magma, it smashed onto the Solar Angler's huge body again.

"Awoo..." The Solar Angler let out a wailing scream. It rolled twice on the ground and lay on the ground powerlessly.

The thick fog produced by the collision of the previous water-attribute attack and the magma enveloped the entire area, blocking Tang Zheng's field of vision.

Looking at the black-gray thick fog that was everywhere like dust, filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he raised his palm toward the front: "Third-rank magic: Wind Ball!"

Using the attribute conversion of 【Mad Mage】, he turned the lightning-attribute "Lightning Ball" into a wind-attribute attack.

Swish!

Light blue airflow surged from the surroundings, gathered on Tang Zheng's palm, and expanded rapidly, forming a rotating airflow the size of two basketballs.

Zzz— Zzz—

If one observed carefully, one could notice that around this airflow, slight, dense buzzing sounds were emitted, as if invisible wind blades were constantly cutting the surrounding air!

Tang Zheng pushed his palm forward.

This wind ball smashed into the gray thick fog, and immediately after, it expanded rapidly, dispersing the thick fog that was blocking his vision completely in an instant.

In the distance.

The Solar Angler's huge body appeared in his field of vision again.

The opponent was lying on the ground motionless, and a deep pit depression several meters in size appeared at the position of its somewhat flat head, clearly the heavy injury caused by the previous Chain Water Dragon bombardment.

Looking from afar, it looked like it had completely lost its life.

"Suffering three bombardments of seventh-rank magic in a row, and it still has a breath left; its blood is really thick." Tang Zheng naturally wouldn't believe that the Solar Angler was already dead; no creature could play dead in front of him.

After all, the acquisition of experience didn't exist as fake!

Tang Zheng's cold eyes flashed, he raised his arm, and made a virtual gripping motion toward the air: "Pure Throwing Spear!"

Swish!

A touch of holy white light appeared.

The next moment.

A huge war god spear over three meters long appeared in his hand, the spearhead position was especially huge, and under the reflection of the red light in this area, it flashed with a cold, terrifying metallic luster.

The conscription spear was floating with white light; this light was not gentle, but filled with a strong, dazzling feeling.

Tang Zheng didn't need to make a throwing motion.

This Pure Throwing Spear flashed instantly from mid-air, turning into a strong stream of light and shooting toward the Solar Angler.

"Pure Throwing Spear" possessed the special ability to consume a certain amount of magic power to produce a sure-hit effect; the current situation clearly didn't need to use this ability.

Swoosh!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Pure Throwing Spear pierced directly into the Solar Angler's head, and the red scales that looked hard seemed as if they didn't exist.

Boom!

The spear over three meters long was completely submerged, shooting into the Solar Angler's head.

"Awoo!!"

The Solar Angler, which had originally looked like it had lost its life, struggled to raise its head, let out a painful howl, and its whole body kept shaking.

Its head, which was sunken in large areas and covered in blood, was raised.

Its red fish eyes looked toward the position where Tang Zheng was located, opened its mouth, and let out a visible, red sound wave full of resentment.

"Scorching Sound Wave"!

Buzz—

The surrounding air seemed to have been ignited; wherever the red sound wave passed, one could see with the naked eye that the entire air was surging like waves in all directions.

"This is... a range attack." Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he retreated rapidly, but the speed of the attack was too fast, far beyond imagination, and almost in the blink of an eye, it had reached in front of him.

Fire-attribute + sound-wave-attribute attack?

This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind instantly, and he released the "Valkyrie" job skill almost without hesitation.

"Impure Impact Shield!"

Boom!

The black energy impact took Tang Zheng as the center, forming an invisible force field that spread toward his whole body, forming an all-around defense.

The two forces collided; the scorching sound wave, which looked amazing, melted like snowflakes under the sun, dissipating silently.

Buzz—

Information on the attribute panel appeared.

【Experience Gained: 779893】

【Experience Slot 2660668: /260000】

Seeing the Solar Angler that had completely died after releasing the attack, Tang Zheng let out a breath.

"Trying to sneak attack before dying, these high-level magical beasts really cannot be underestimated. Fortunately, I specially kept one "Impure Impact Shield"."

Tang Zheng spoke softly; the speed of the previous attack gave him a fright, and there was no prompt on the attribute panel.

This meant that the ability the Solar Angler had displayed should be a skill it was born with.

The previous fire-attribute sound-wave attack was very powerful; he speculated that it was at least at the level of fifth-rank magic.

Although "Impure Impact Shield" was powerful, it could only be used twice a day after all.

"Perhaps I should also get some defensive magic and skills." This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he raised his eyes to look at the attribute panel.

The experience value had already exceeded two million, but currently, whether it was the 【Genius】 job or the 【Shaman Mentor】 job, Tang Zheng had no intention of raising his level.

He also didn't have other jobs to upgrade on hand, so such a large amount of experience was instead temporarily useless.

This actually made Tang Zheng feel like he was suddenly wealthy.

Huh?

Tang Zheng scanned the "Ability Table" and suddenly discovered that two passives had inexplicably appeared in the passive abilities.

"Fire Attribute Resistance (1%)"

"Poison Attribute · Faint Resistance"

This is...

Tang Zheng was somewhat stunned; how did the two passives appear?

He hadn't acquired a new job, nor had he gained any special skills; under normal circumstances, "passives" couldn't appear out of thin air.

Tang Zheng suddenly thought of something and hurriedly lowered his head to check his skin.

He saw that the large patches of red marks on the skin exposed on his arms and other parts had completely disappeared.

The positions of these red marks were all places stained by dragon blood. Now that the red marks had disappeared, did it mean that the dragon blood had been absorbed by his skin?

That's why these two passive effects appeared?

Tang Zheng was somewhat unable to be certain for a moment, but currently, there seemed to be only this possibility.

Before, his HP value increased by one, and now he had two more passives.

The effect of dragon blood was so strong? Tang Zheng felt it was somewhat incredible, but soon, he retreated from the somewhat surprised emotion and hurriedly raised his head to look in the direction of the Solar Angler.

Now was not the time to think about the dragon blood problem!

Swish!

Tang Zheng moved his footsteps and rushed rapidly in front of the Solar Angler's huge corpse.

A phantom, equally huge soul slowly rose from the Solar Angler's body and appeared in Tang Zheng's field of vision.

He raised his chin.

It was the first time Tang Zheng had seen such a huge soul, and he subconsciously swallowed his throat.

The ancient fire dragon was because it was a special race of the dragon race, so it didn't belong to the ranks of wild beasts and magical beasts, so it couldn't be affected by the "Totem Possession" ability.

And the Solar Angler was clearly a magical beast.

It's just that!

The Solar Angler's level was too high, coupled with such a huge soul scene, causing Tang Zheng to suddenly doubt whether his skill could absorb the Solar Angler's soul.

"Totem Possession"

"Become my power, Solar Angler!"

Tang Zheng stared at the huge and phantom soul and let out a low shout.

Please... you.... collect_(!)

Boom!

A emerald green light flashed across Tang Zheng's body, and the soul that had originally been quietly suspended above the Solar Angler's corpse suddenly started to vibrate.

【Skill effect activated, please select the possession position】

Head (Empty)

Chest (Empty)

Arm (Forest Sage King · Physical Defense +50)

Back (Empty)

Leg (Empty)

Information on the attribute panel flashed by rapidly.

After a brief contemplation, Tang Zheng silently recited in his heart: "Chest."

Swish—

The emerald green light that had originally been flashing on Tang Zheng's whole body suddenly gathered rapidly toward his chest, forming a more dazzling emerald green light.

The Solar Angler's soul suspended in mid-air was immediately guided by this power and surged toward Tang Zheng's direction.

Such a huge soul, the moment it touched the moonlight-like light emitted from Tang Zheng's body, began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye and was rapidly absorbed into the chest position.

Under Tang Zheng's intentional control, a simple totem in the shape of a Solar Angler the size of a fist appeared on the right side of his chest.

Immediately after.

Tang Zheng felt that the Solar Angler totem seemed to emit a gentle heat, surging through his whole body, and then dissipated rapidly.

【Totem Possession Successful—Please select physical enhancement or specialty selection】

At the same moment.

Tang Zheng scanned the 【Attribute Table】 on the attribute panel and immediately observed that HP had increased.

Chest (Solar Angler · HP +50)

"Last time, Forest Sage King Cang Zhu increased physical defense, also 50 points; this time, the Solar Angler increased HP, also 50 points."

"Sure enough, the highest value this skill can increase is 50 points."

Tang Zheng looked at the information on the attribute panel, and while a realization flashed in his eyes, he silently recited in his heart: "Specialty Acquisition!"

【Select one of the following abilities to fix; once selected, it cannot be changed. Please select an ability that fits your own race, job, and characteristics, otherwise, weakening or inability to use will occur:

1: Fire Vision

2: Toughness

3: Lure Grabbing

4: Sharp Teeth

5: Bite Enhancement

6: Fire Stealth

26: Lava Shield

27: Lava Impact

Please make a selection】

Seeing nearly 30 abilities appear all at once, Tang Zheng couldn't help but blink and take a deep breath.

He knew that he could easily defeat the Solar Angler because he took advantage of the Solar Angler's inability to move freely on land.

After reading the abilities displayed by the Solar Angler.

Tang Zheng realized that he had taken a big advantage; the opponent was actually best at close-quarters combat, especially various means of manipulating magma.

In the magma sea, the Solar Angler could fully exert all its strength, rather than being killed by Tang Zheng using long-range attack means on land without being able to move.

Among these abilities, Tang Zheng was not only jealous of one or two.

However, many abilities.

Were clearly related to the Solar Angler's own race, such as "Lure Grabbing."

Even if Tang Zheng selected this ability, he probably wouldn't be able to use it. After activating many abilities, Tang Zheng quickly found the specialty he truly wanted.

"Select 'Fire Attribute Attack Nullification'"

【Specialty selection successful!】

Tang Zheng's body vibrated, and a fire-red light suddenly appeared on his whole body, and then dissipated again.

The scorching high temperature of the lava zone.

At this moment.

In Tang Zheng's perception, the heat waves that surged from the direction of the magma sea from time to time and made people break out in dense sweat.

Were just like ordinary breezes; Tang Zheng didn't feel any heat at all, but instead, blowing on his body, gave Tang Zheng a feeling of comfort.

"It succeeded!"

"This kind of attribute resistance really didn't appear to have a deterioration phenomenon like the last time I acquired 'Physical Armament'."

Looking at the extra passive item on the attribute panel, a surprised expression appeared on Tang Zheng's face.

With the appearance of "Fire Attribute Attack Nullification," the effect of "Fire Attribute Resistance (1%)" that seemed to have been produced because of dragon blood followed and disappeared.

Tang Zheng put away the smile on his face, walked to the Solar Angler's huge corpse, raised his hand and waved, and collected it into the item box.

He raised his head and looked at the surging magma sea in the distance.

A thought suddenly flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he lifted his footsteps, walking step by step toward the center of the lava zone.

As he got closer and closer to the magma sea, the surrounding temperature became higher and higher, and the red fire light became more dazzling.

However, all of this!

Had no effect on Tang Zheng at this moment.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, the clothes on his body were ignited by the high temperature, turning Tang Zheng into a fireball instantly; a moment later, the flames dissipated.

Tang Zheng, unscathed and naked, had already walked to the edge of the magma sea.

"I can't feel any heat damage at all; just one resistance has such a strong ability, it's really incredible."

Tang Zheng raised his arm, perceiving the gentle feeling transmitted from his whole body's skin, and an expression of exclamation appeared on his face.

There were no other creatures in the entire lava zone, so Tang Zheng didn't feel embarrassed in his current state.

Looking at the surging red magma below.

Tang Zheng moved his footsteps and jumped down from the towering shore.

With a "plop" sound!

Tang Zheng sank rapidly into the surging magma below, and for a time, there was no movement at all.

About three or four minutes later.

The red, scorching magma surged for a while.

Psh!

Tang Zheng, with a bright smile on his face, drilled out from the fluid-like magma, and streams of hot magma slid down his skin without leaving even a tiny red mark on his skin.

"This feeling is really not bad!" Tang Zheng raised his arm and smashed it toward the magma in front of him, splashing a large amount of magma water, and laughed loudly.
