Chapter 465: A Roadside Encounter, Assault on the Wind‑Thunder Algae Squad

The Flying Fish's speed exceeded Jiang Chen's expectations, fast beyond belief.

A distance of several hundred meters was covered in less than 0.1 seconds.

Moreover, their appearance was completely silent, making a rear ambush hard to detect.

Yet, no matter how fast, it was useless before Jiang Chen.

The Flying Fish was swiftly bound the moment it neared Jiang Chen, and stopped.

A dense layer of white bones enveloped them; this is the Skill: Skeleton Prison!

Hundreds of Flying Fish, including the Lord-level BOSS among them, were bound simultaneously.

Although this binding lasted only a short time—under a second—signs of collapse already appeared.

But it was enough.

A flash of Red Light streaked by, and all Flying Fish were cursed at once.

Immediately after, a Detection Technique landed on the Flying Fish Lord.

"Flying Fish Lord (Lord-level BOSS)"

"Level: 79"

"Strength: 500000"

"Agility: 1000000"

"Spirit: 500000"

"Constitution: 700000"

"Skill: Piercing Wind, Chain Lightning"

"Trait: Wind Element damage reduced by 50%, Electric Element immunity, speed greatly increased."

Total attributes are 2.7 million, not particularly high.

Having been accustomed to World BOSS stats, looking back at this Lord-level BOSS's attributes left no impression at all.

Jiang Chen remained unusually calm; after reviewing the stats, he already had a count in mind.

The Undead Legion appeared, and in the blink of an eye formed a counter‑encirclement around the Flying Fish mob.

The most headache‑inducing aspect of the Flying Fish mob is their sheer numbers.

Therefore, those who normally cross the Wind‑Thunder Sea travel in groups.

At least fifty people are needed before there is

a chance to cross the sea.

A lone traveler like Jiang Chen is virtually nonexistent.

Two seconds later, the Skeleton Prison on the Flying Fish monsters shattered completely.

The Flying Fish Lord let out a Scream, his whole body glowing.

All Flying Fish were flickering with light.

Thunder roared from the sky, and in an instant a torrent of Lightning fell onto the Flying Fish swarm.

Then the Lightning struck the densely packed skeletons within the Flying Fish swarm.

Skill: Lightning Chain!

It relies not only on its own power but also draws upon natural Lightning.

The skill's power is considerable, as the Flying Fish swarm channels it collectively.

If faced with other cultivators, even someone like Huo Lieyang, who exceeds Level 80, would find it troublesome.

But against the Undead Legion,

it still falls short by a lot.

The Undead Legion's numbers are overwhelming, so Lightning damage is shared, and each Skeleton receives only modest damage.

The Lich General merely administered a few casual heals and was already recovered.

Amid the Lightning, the Skeletons launched a counterattack.

"Kill a Level 76 Flying Fish monster, Experience +4560000"

"Obtain Flying Fish Scale"

"Kill a Level 76 Flying Fish monster, Experience +4560000"

"Obtain Flying Fish Scale"

Prompt after prompt kept appearing; the Skeleton Great Mage's Divine Archer attack was exceedingly fierce, and after one round the Flying Fish swarm was more than half damaged.

The Great Mage's Elemental Explosion and the Divine Archer's piercing arrows, when confronting a World-Class Boss, cannot even breach defenses without the Strong Soldier skill's aid.

Yet against these high‑agility, low‑defense Flying Fish, they are unstoppable killing weapons.

Especially since both skills have locked attributes; no matter how fast the Flying Fish move, they cannot escape.

Combined with the Aging Curse, Jiang Chen is now fully certain that when facing monsters below Level 80, he can stride through them effortlessly.

He can stride across land, and likewise push through the Wind‑Thunder Sea.

Even the Flying Fish Lord, under the Undead Legion's siege, lasted less than three minutes.

The gap between Level 79 and Level 80 is still significant.

"Kill the Flying Fish Lord, Experience +7900000"

"Obtain Flying Fish Knight Sword"

"Obtain Flying Fish Essence"

"Flying Fish Knight Sword (Knight-exclusive): Quasi-Mythic-grade Weapon, All Attributes +20000, Knight attack-type Skill Amplify 100%."

"Flying Fish Essence: Material for crafting Quasi-Mythic-grade Equipment."

"Flying Fish Essence: material for crafting Quasi-Mythic-grade Equipment."

Jiang Chen scanned the attributes; although it's also claimed to be a quasi Mythological Class weapon, its attributes are truly poor.

Moreover, it lacks even the most important auxiliary skill, and is not even as good as some premium Platinum Grade Weapons.

Its only advantage is that the attribute increase is relatively high.

Jiang Chen casually puts it away, intending to toss it into the Exchange later.

He easily dispatches the Flying Fish Monster swarm and continues onward.

Lightning grows denser, and the booming sound circles his ears.

Jiang Chen flies so fast in the Wind‑Thunder Sea that the faster he goes, the more lightning is drawn to him.

From afar, Jiang Chen has become a lightning cluster, trailing a long tail as he streaks through the sky.

After flying for over ten minutes, Jiang Chen reaches the center of the Wind‑Thunder Sea.

Pulses of Energy Fluctuation arrive from the left.

"Someone is fighting."

"And there are quite a few people."

The massive Spiritual Power grants Jiang Chen extremely keen perception.

In an instant he discerns a battle occurring about three thousand meters away.

Moreover, the scale of the fight is not small, and it is filled with

the aura of Professionals.

Jiang Chen, without further thought, flies straight over.

From a distance he sees a multitude of dark spots.

There, lightning spreads, forming a massive thunder cluster.

Thousands of Flying Fish Monsters are launching an attack on a large number of Human Professionals.

Besides the Flying Fish Monsters, several gigantic Tentacles rise from the sea, attacking the Professionals together with them.

Through the thunder cluster, Jiang Chen sees at least fifty‑to‑sixty Professionals trapped inside.

They have tried to break out several times, but none succeeded.

The Flying Fish Monsters are too numerous, and combined with the monsters beneath the surface, they can only defend.

"A swarm of over a thousand Flying Fish Monsters—rare indeed."

Although Flying Fish Monsters are a group type, they usually number only a few hundred.

Groups of this magnitude—over a thousand—are exceedingly scarce.

And to command so many Flying Fish Monsters, the Flying Fish Lord‑level must be above Level 80.

Above Level 80 and below Level 80 are completely different strengths.

However, among the Human Race there are a few Elite Professionals above Level 80; they command the entire battle, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago.

Jiang Chen watches for a while and realizes the biggest trouble is the monster beneath the ocean.

He ponders briefly, then plunges headfirst into the sea.

Below the sea floor, he sees the body of the Tentacle.

It is a cluster‑like plant‑type monster.

A fluffy mass, resembling a clump of seaweed.

These protruding Tentacles are its vines.

It drifts in the seawater in this bizarre manner.

"Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster?"

Jiang Chen shows a look of surprise.

He has seen similar monsters in the data, but is not certain.

Detection Technique activates.

"Wind‑Thunder Algae Cluster (Lord-level BOSS

S)"

"Level: 78"

"Power: 600000"

"Agility: 500000"

"Spirit: 500000"

"Constitution: 1000000"

"Skills: Entangling, Lightning Chain"

"Traits: Physical Damage Reduction 50%, Electric Element Immunity, Life Force Enhancement, Recovery Enhancement"

"Sure enough, it's the Rare Plant‑type BOSS, symbiotic with the Flying Fish Monsters."

"Their skills can complement each other."

Jiang Chen thinks to himself that the Detection Technique's result matches the data he has seen perfectly.

Such monsters are few in number, very Rare.

And they often act together with Flying Fish Monster swarms.

With its presence, the threat of the Flying Fish Monster swarm increases greatly.

The Plant‑type Lord-level BOSS bears the traits of a Plant‑type BOSS.

Among its rank, it possesses a higher Constitution attribute.

It also has Life Force Enhancement and Recovery Enhancement, lacking nothing.

Once its vines entangle you, breaking free is not easy.

It poses a very great threat to cultivators.

However, likewise, if a cultivator encounters a wind‑thunder algae cluster, they will try every possible way to kill it.

The algae on its body surface are also called thunder algae.

Thunder algae is a very rare material.

When processed by an alchemist into a Thunder‑Electric Elixir, thunder algae can permanently boost immunity to the Electric Element.

"Since we've encountered it, I won't be polite."

Jiang Chen felt a spark of interest while reading the data.

Anything that can permanently increase elemental immunity holds very high value.

Even if one doesn't need it oneself, it can be traded for something else.

The wind‑thunder algae cluster that was raging in attack suddenly stopped moving, and a layer of white bone enveloped it.
