Chapter 146

Hua Hua Qianshuang nodded.

No one would be stupid enough to stand in front of a BOSS and let the other party attack continuously.

"Since that’s the case, let them go."

Soon,

Ji Nie Yuan and the others arrived in a desert.

It was also their destination.

A hundred meters underground, a terrifying lord was entrenched.

"Ji-donor, please."

Mishaluo drew a circle on the ground with his feet and smiled.

Ji Nie Yuan’s face stalled.

But since it was agreed in advance, plus there was only one melee-type professional on the scene, he didn't refute it.

He took the twin hammers in his hands and took a deep breath.

Then he began to dig sand on the spot.

Looking from afar, it was like a pangolin.

Everyone held back their laughter.

Kujo Mise leaned over to Qin Qin Xuejun and frowned, "Can't you let your magic puppet dig?"

"Why?" Qin Qin Xuejun quickly stepped back, "Keep it down, if that guy Ji Nie Yuan knows, he will definitely have a fight with me!"

"How can I let my baby do such a rough thing as digging sand?"

Kujo Mise shook her head and didn't say much.

She just thought that Qin Qin Xuejun had so many magic puppets, and moving them would definitely be faster than Ji Nie Yuan.

Ji Nie Yuan’s speed was not slow either.

In a few minutes, he dug a big hole.

Suddenly,

Ji Nie Yuan only felt his hand empty, the sand around him collapsed, and he fell into a pitch-black space.

"This is..."

It was empty all around, and cold winds blew from time to time.

Not hearing the sound of digging sand, everyone also bent down to look down.

"What’s the situation?"

"Cave," Ji Nie Yuan said, "there might be monsters appearing, do you want to come down?"

Mishaluo quickly took out his prayer beads, frowned, and twisted them a few times.

"Except for that big guy, no malice has been perceived yet. Ji-donor, why don't you dig directly?"

Ji Nie Yuan was not a timid person, so he immediately began to dig downward on the spot.

The cave was unexpectedly huge.

Every few meters Ji Nie Yuan dug, he would fall into the cave passage again, which saved a lot of time.

However,

Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it’s even more exciting!

Ji Nie Yuan was a bit strange.

This cave passage, although not small, could not accommodate that lord to pass through; it must be used by other monsters.

Why didn't he see a single monster?

"Ji-donor?" Mishaluo’s voice came from above; because the distance was too far, it even produced an echo. "How is the situation below? The malice seems more obvious."

"Malice is more obvious?"

Ji Nie Yuan’s heart tightened, but having reached this step, he naturally couldn't stop.

He swung his war hammer again.

"Clang!"

The sudden resistance directly bounced the war hammer away.

The sound of metal clashing rang through the cave, and the echo lingered.

"Dug it!"

Ji Nie Yuan dug away the sand under him.

The cave floor around this layer, after Ji Nie Yuan’s digging, suddenly collapsed like a tofu-dreg project.

The feeling of falling he imagined did not appear.

The place he stepped on had a soft touch.

Ji Nie Yuan took out the light source from his storage space.

What came into view

was a super giant milky-white meat ball; its slightly trembling body proved it was not a dead object.

What made Ji Nie Yuan unbelievable was that his height of nearly two meters was not even as high as a single piece of fluff on the other party.

He was stepping on the other party’s back.

The next second,

Ji Nie Yuan only felt a chill run down his spine and rush into his crown.

He turned his head slowly.

The front of the huge meat ball was slightly raised,

obscuring most of his vision.

The hideous mouthparts were exposed, countless mucus overflowed from the mouth, and the foul-smelling fishy wind rushed into his nose.

He didn't see organs like eyeballs,

but Ji Nie Yuan clearly perceived

that the other party was

watching him!

And around him, in the empty and deep cave space,

hundreds of insect monsters flew up slowly, with fangs and sharp horns, countless scarlet pupils locking onto him tightly.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

Ji Nie Yuan cursed angrily.

There wasn't a single one among the overwhelming insect monsters that he could identify the level of with his appraisal skill!

Even, from the aura, there were many leader-tier existences among them!

This is what the monk said, there was no other malice?

The key is

he was now locked by this lord’s aura, or was suffering from some unknown skill,

and it was difficult for him to even move his whole body!

What a terrifying sense of oppression this is!

A level 40 lord could absolutely not reach this point!

Unlike Li Yao,

this monster similar to a maggot released boundless malice that wanted to eat him!

"Am I going to die?"

Ji Nie Yuan had never felt such powerlessness.

Just then,

three figures jumped down from above the cave and landed beside Ji Nie Yuan.

"Boss!" shouted the professional who had been following Ji Nie Yuan.

Mishaluo frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Ji-donor, what’s going on? Why did the malice suddenly increase so much?"

The [Malice Perception] was like a red-hot iron, constantly searing his chest.

Before Ji Nie Yuan could reply, Mishaluo noticed something.

Qin Qin Xuejun, who had jumped down after them, was currently staring at his surroundings with a look of horror.

Mishaluo rubbed his smooth, bald head, his heart skipping a beat.

When had Patron Qin ever shown such an expression?

"Bugs!"

Mishaluo scanned the area; countless insectoid monsters were circling around them.

Mishaluo forced himself to stay calm.

The quantity was right, but the quality was wrong.

Where was that Lord-tier monster?

The next second.

"Hiss—!"

A piercing shriek resounded through the cavern space.

A nauseating stench, mixed with countless globs of mucus, splattered onto everyone.

Qin Qin Xuejun looked at his own body, falling into a daze.

It was precisely this shriek.

The entire cavern began to tremble violently.

Yellow sand and stone poured in through the hole Ji Nie Yuan had dug.

Countless insectoid monsters suddenly charged toward Mishaluo and the others.

"Run!"

Mishaluo roared instantly.

In his mind, there was only one thought now.

With a wave of his hand, he released a skill; the waterfall of yellow sand falling from above seemed to be controlled by some force, parting to the sides.

Mishaluo grabbed the still-dazed Qin Qin Xuejun with one hand and Ji Nie Yuan—who was locked in place by the monsters' aura and unable to move—with the other, launching them toward the opening above.

Seeing this, Ji Nie Yuan’s underling shouted, releasing an area-of-effect stun skill to control the surrounding insects before following closely in Mishaluo’s footsteps.

As they dashed, Mishaluo scolded angrily.

"Patron Qin, wake up!"

Patron Ji was locked on by the monsters and likely hit with a debuff skill, so his inability to move was understandable.

But you, Patron Qin, you just got sprayed with some saliva—how are you still not back to your senses?

Qin Qin Xuejun, being dragged by the wrist, ignored Mishaluo, his pupils trembling as he repeated over and over:

"Filthy creature! I’m going to kill you!"

Seeing this, Mishaluo had the urge to just drop him.

"Screech!"

Another sharp sound, like a blade piercing into their brains and churning wildly; in just a split second—

The four of them felt dizzy, blood began to leak from their eyes, noses, and mouths, and their vision blurred.

"Six thousand?"

Mishaluo looked at his health bar, which had vanished by a huge chunk, and felt a chill run through his heart.

It had a crowd-control effect and such high damage?

Mishaluo didn't dare to stop for even a moment; enduring the dizziness, he leaped frantically toward the surface.

Just then.

That swarm of insectoid monsters also burst out from the bottom of the cave.

They were about to catch up to the group.

"Get out of the way!"

Hearing the voice, Mishaluo instinctively shrank to the side.

Several energy blasts flew in through the cave entrance, one after another, slamming into the monsters!

[-923]

[-585]

[-841]

Skills of this power only made the flying insects pause for a moment; as if they felt no pain, they continued their pursuit!

Fortunately, Mishaluo was able to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to escape the cave.

"Seal it! Quick! Seal it!" Mishaluo shouted as soon as he got out, dropping the two men on the ground. "Use your skills to bombard the ground!"

The others didn't dare disobey; in an instant, countless skills slammed into the ground.

A violent tremor occurred.

The sand and soil collapsed, covering the entrance.

Mishaluo knew deep down that this was merely a delaying tactic.

That big guy didn't look like something a little sand could stop.

Hoisting Ji Nie Yuan up again, Mishaluo didn't look back and ran toward the distance.

Seeing this, the others didn't dare to delay.

Kyojo Mise grabbed Qin Qin Xuejun’s arm, not caring whether he had regained his senses, and followed Mishaluo as they fled into the distance.

Only Kari Xia lingered for a moment.

As an SS-rank Hunter, she possessed a skill called [Hunting Compendium].

It was similar to an enhanced Appraisal skill; despite the level gap, it could still detect some attributes.

The moment the attributes appeared.

Kari Xia’s entire face turned deathly pale.

"Damn it!"

"Do these guys have any idea what kind of thing they've provoked!?"

Without any hesitation, Kari Xia turned and fled into the distance.

[Bone-Splitting Larva]

[Level 47 (Lord-tier)]

[HP: ???]

[Strength: 194]

Little Master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

[Spirit: ???]

[Agility: 431]

[Stamina: 2658]

[Skills: Insect Mother LV MAX, Insect Emperor LV 1, Mind Shatter LV 12, Predatory Velvet Tentacles LV 17, Larval Regeneration LV 4, Insect Guard LV 1]

Kari Xia felt that she had the worst luck in this competition!

First, she ran into that monster Li Yao, and now she had believed the monk's nonsense!

To actually dare to provoke a Level 47 Lord!?

"Swish, swish!"

Almost the instant she heard the sound, several black shadows struck.

Too late to dodge!

Relying on instinct, Kari Xia twisted her body, dodging the tentacle aimed at her head.

She dodged with her head, but her legs weren't as lucky.

"Puchi!"

A tentacle half a meter thick wrapped directly around her legs, its barbs embedding into her flesh; the intense pain caused Kari Xia to collapse to the ground.

Immediately after.

A sound like popping beans erupted from Kari Xia’s legs; under the crushing force of the tentacle, she didn't know how many bones had been shattered.

Kari Xia endured the excruciating pain, continuously trying to activate displacement skills.

However, on her interface, there was only a single line of scarlet text.
