Chapter 70

"Could it be that Ultrasonic Sense skill?"

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.

The gargoyle skill information he had just seen contained exactly such a skill.

He had seen it in the Monster Skill Compendium before.

The Ultrasonic Sense skill is generally possessed by monsters like bats and merfolk.

It belongs to the detection type.

It can easily see through the stealth skills of the Assassin class, making it the Assassin class's nemesis.

"Roar!!"

While he was pondering.

The gargoyle flapped its wings, suddenly diving down, rushing toward him at high speed.

"Boom!!"

Its sharp claws instantly tore through the ground, flipping up a large chunk of the floor.

However.

What puzzled the gargoyle was.

There was absolutely nothing beneath the floor!

"Heh..."

Jiang Li sneered, realizing that Shadow Step did not mean he was invulnerable to damage.

He was in the Shadow World.

It was completely a different space from the real world.

Conventional physical means could hardly reach him.

"Roar!"

The gargoyle refused to believe it.

It circled once in mid-air.

It activated the Ultrasonic Sense skill again.

After locking onto the shadow location where Jiang Li was, it suddenly hovered in place, its scarlet eyes closing and then opening, instantly turning gray-white; immediately, a faint light glowed.

"Whoosh!"

The gray-white beam shot out immediately.

It sliced through the mid-air at extremely high speed.

It precisely hit the location where Jiang Li was... of course, only that patch of ground.

"Hiss!"

The moment the gray-white beam touched the ground.

The entire patch of ground seemed covered by a layer of gloom, instantly transforming into gray-white stone.

"So this is the Petrification Beam?"

"Truly terrifying..."

Jiang Li, watching the entire petrification process of the ground through the Shadow World, couldn't help but sigh.

Unfortunately.

This skill still could not enter the Shadow World, having no effect on him.

Seeing this.

The gargoyle was somewhat stunned, even forgetting to flap its wings, dropping straight down.

Just before touching the ground, it finally flapped its wings again.

But looking at the petrified ground, it began to suspect whether its Ultrasonic Sense had malfunctioned.

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

Looking at the gargoyle, which looked thoroughly broken.

Jiang Li curled his lip, feeling bored; he tapped his foot once and directly vanished into the distance.

"Roar!"

The gargoyle in the sky continued to roar.

Strike after strike of claw attacks and petrification beams fired wildly in all directions.

Its Ultrasonic Sense could clearly sense the enemy's location, yet it could not inflict any damage.

In the end, it could only "helplessly" watch Jiang Li successfully approach the gate of the next layer and enter successfully.

"Roar..."

【Ding!】

【Congratulations on arriving at: Ninth Layer!】

Hearing the aggrieved roar coming from behind.

Jiang Li was in high spirits; then he looked ahead, seeing a brightly lit grand hall.

Torches were mounted on all four walls.

Illuminating the entire space brilliantly.

"There isn't even a single shadow..."

Seeing this, Jiang Li was somewhat puzzled.

But he did not rush to walk out.

Instead, he first hid in the shadow beside the door, took out a bottle of potion, drank it down with his head tilted back, and while feeling the mana continuously recovering, Jiang Li watched the situation ahead.

"The Ninth Layer... the location of the final boss."

The Ninth Layer is a great hall.

Various bone carvings are placed everywhere.

Ranging from human forms to beast forms, all are present, and there is even a dragon-shaped skeleton.

In the very center of the great hall.

Is a white bone Wang Zuo.

And upon the white bone Wang Zuo sits a figure draped in a black robe, head bowed low.

"Huff."

Feeling the oppressive pressure emanating from the other party.

Jiang Li's heart grew solemn; his eyes flickered as he attempted to obtain the other's detailed information.
