Chapter 94: Super‑Powered Fruit!
Damn it!
Xiao He muttered a curse, then quickly shouted to Zhang Lu at his side: "Retreat!"
Hearing that, Zhang Lu's face showed puzzlement, and he hurriedly said, "But…"
"But what about this Gillfish Dragon?"
After all, fossil Little Spirits are extremely valuable.
The two naturally didn't want to miss this precious Gillfish Dragon.
Do you want your life or your money?
Xiao He glared fiercely at Zhang Lu and shouted, "Once we get back and recover, we'll subdue this Gillfish Dragon!"
Seeing Xiao He say that, Zhang Lu turned his head toward the Gillfish Dragon, which was shaking its head and making gurgling sounds.
Reluctantly.
The Gillfish Dragon stared blankly, watching the few people walk away.
It didn't choose to pursue, but turned its head.
It looked at a massive rock before it.
It opened its huge, blood‑filled mouth.
Clack!
Clack!
With each crisp clack, stones continuously fell from the Gillfish Dragon's mouth.
Grinding???
Lin Mo slightly frowned; indeed, he hadn't expected the Gillfish Dragon to have such a habit.
Meow!
Mao Laoda let out a light call, extended its sharp Claw, and gently licked.
It seemed eager to try.
Lin Mo glanced at the two Little Spirits that had already left in the distance, and brushed the dust off his body.
He emerged from behind the mountain rocks.
"Gillfish Dragon, long time no see!"
Lin Mo looked at the Gillfish Dragon before him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Wuwuwu!
The Gillfish Dragon turned its head, gazed at Lin Mo, and emitted a series of wailing sounds.
It seemed somewhat angry.
After being provoked repeatedly, it was naturally very irritated.
"Mao Laoda!"
Lin Mo gently patted the Mao Laoda at his feet and said, "Up!"
Meow!
Eagerly, Mao Laoda let out a light call, and its body darted.
It turned into a fleeting shadow, vanishing instantly from the spot.
When Mao Laoda reappeared, it was already behind the Gillfish Dragon.
Clatter!
Accompanied by a series of extremely piercing thunderclaps.
A stream of golden‑yellow thunder power instantly enveloped the Gillfish Dragon.
"One Hundred Thousand Volts!"
Lightning coiled around the Gillfish Dragon; the intense thunder made it suffer greatly.
It let out a series of whimpering sounds.
"Da Zhen Feng, venom attack!"
The Gillfish Dragon's body is covered with blue armor, its defense astonishing.
Therefore, for Lin Mo, attacking with venom to corrode its hard armor is the best choice.
It is the best choice.
Puff!
Deep‑purple venom surged instantly from Da Zhen Feng's tail stinger.
Unfortunately, Mao Laoda's luck was poor.
The One Hundred Thousand Volts attack did not trigger a paralyzing effect.
The Gillfish Dragon was stunned, but not foolish.
Its massive body kept shaking, quickly dodging to its side.
Splash!
A pool of venom fell onto the ground beside the Gillfish Dragon.
Under the corrosion of the venom, a series of sizzle sounds rang out.
The pale yellow ground turned pitch black.
"Da Zhen Feng! Grinding!"
"Mao Laoda! Freezing Wind!"
Da Zhen Feng continuously rubbed its sharp steel needles, accompanied by a series of grating friction sounds.
A faint white glow floated over Da Zhen Feng's steel needles.
A flash of light glimmered from the ruby at the Cat Boss's forehead.
Strands of cold mist coalesced and emerged.
A cold wind brushed by, instantly enveloping the Gill Fish Dragon.
In an instant, white frost appeared on the Gill Fish Dragon's body.
Its speed visibly slowed to the naked eye.
"Chaotic Strike!"
Da Zhen Feng brandished its sharp steel needles and approached the Gill Fish Dragon.
"Wooo!"
Staring at the Da Zhen Feng before it, the Gill Fish Dragon slightly opened its mouth.
A torrent of water surged out of its mouth.
At such close range, the water's force was immense.
It blasted Da Zhen Feng dozens of meters away.
It landed heavily on the ground.
Its pale yellow body was covered with slash‑like wounds.
Bright red blood continuously flowed from Da Zhen Feng.
"That Gill Fish Dragon!"
Lin Mo's eyes flickered; despite the Gill Fish Dragon's dumb stare, its combat reaction speed was extremely fast.
Lin Mo turned their gaze to the pitch‑black Cat Boss and said, "Cat Boss! Gather Treasure Skill!"
"Bzzzz!"
A golden beam instantly surged from the ruby at the Cat Boss's forehead.
Gather Treasure Skill moved at lightning speed, landing steadily on the Gill Fish Dragon's chest.
"Bang!"
The Gill Fish Dragon retreated repeatedly.
But the Gill Fish Dragon's outer armor was incredibly hard.
The Gather Treasure Skill's blast only forced it back a few steps, leaving a blood mark on its blue‑white skin.
Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly; their intention had been achieved.
"Malicious Pursuit!"
As Lin Mo finished speaking, Flash Cat Boss was instantly shrouded by a sphere of black light.
"Hush!"—with a sound, Flash Cat Boss instantly appeared before the Gill Fish Dragon.
Sharp Claws fiercely gouged the Gill Fish Dragon's wound.
Three bright red scars appeared on the Gill Fish Dragon.
Drops of bright red blood continuously dripped from the Gill Fish Dragon.
"Aah!"
"
The Gill Fish Dragon winced in pain, and water currents gathered again in its mouth.
Water Gun gathered at its mouth and instantly erupted.
But compared to Da Zhen Feng,
In the darkness, Flash Cat Boss's speed was clearly faster.
Flash Cat Boss, like a specter, instantly turned into a black shadow and vanished before the Gill Fish Dragon.
When Flash Cat Boss reappeared, it was already behind the Gill Fish Dragon.
"Sizzle!"
Sharp Claws fell again.
Three blood marks reappeared on the Gill Fish Dragon's back.
When the Gill Fish Dragon turned its body, opened its huge mouth, and lunged at Flash Cat Boss,
the Cat Boss vanished again into the night.
The Gill Fish Dragon's white gills were instantly drenched in blood.
Affected by Freezing Wind, the Gill Fish Dragon's speed slowed.
Meanwhile, Flash Cat Boss's speed increased under the night sky.
Between a gain and a loss.
Flash Cat Boss spun the Gill Fish Dragon around in circles.
"Roar!
"
A few minutes later, Flash Cat Boss let out a howl, its whole body covered in bloodstains.
Its stark black‑and‑white eyes were now filled with blood vessels.
It shook its massive mouth and lunged toward Lin Mo in the distance.
"???"
Lin Mo widened their eyes, an innocent expression on their face: "Just fine, why are you running over to bite me?"
"Quicksand Hell!"
As Lin Mo finished speaking, Da Ge Yi let out a low growl.
It radiated a faint yellow glow from head to toe.
The incredibly hard concealed ground also began to writhe slowly at this moment.
Looking closely, one could see the smooth ground turning into grains of fine sand at this moment.
Whoosh!
The running Gillfish Dragon plunged both feet straight into it.
Half of its entire body sank into the ground.
Roar!
Roar!
The Gillfish Dragon roared, its sturdy body also beating.
The Quicksand Hell that trapped the Gillfish Dragon continued to surge.
It seemed as if it could escape from the Quicksand Hell at any moment.
But that was normal, after all Da Ge Yi was only ordinary peak strength.
If it had Elite Level strength, it might have a chance to trap the Gillfish Dragon with this Quicksand Hell technique.
That's enough!
Lin Mo looked toward the Flash Cat Boss in the distance.
Stop!
Accompanied by a harsh slicing sound, sharp claws repeatedly struck the Gillfish Dragon.
At this moment, the Gillfish Dragon was like a living target.
It was continuously attacked by the Flash Cat Boss.
Thump!
The Gillfish Dragon could no longer endure; its massive body collapsed heavily onto the ground.
Well done!
!
Looking at the fallen Gillfish Dragon, Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a keen light, and his wrist twitched.
A Spirit Ball landed on the Gillfish Dragon.
As a red flash passed, the Gillfish Dragon was instantly drawn into the Spirit Ball.
Dingdong!
The Spirit Ball shook continuously, a bolt of lightning flashing.
Finally captured!
Lin Mo stepped forward slowly, gripping the Spirit Ball tightly in his hand.
Gillfish Dragon, got it!
When he first saw the Gillfish Dragon, Lin Mo already intended to capture it.
With its strong jaws, the Gillfish Dragon's bite-type techniques gain a 50% power boost.
Combined with the Gillfish Dragon's excellent Water and Dragon attributes.
It can fully serve as the main melee force.
Floral Healing Loop!
Lin Mo approached Da Zhen Feng and released the Floral Healing Loop.
Stop!
As soon as the Floral Healing Loop appeared, it continuously fluttered beside Lin Mo.
Tiny green specks kept scattering.
The hard rocky ground at this moment sprouted dense blades of grass.
The grass was "incredibly fragrant and sweet"; even Lin Mo standing on it could sense a strong fresh scent.
The heavily scarred Da Zhen Feng also regained some energy.
Its wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Unfortunately, the Floral Healing Loop is too weak, having only mastered a Green Grass Field recovery skill!
Compared to Life Droplet or Healing Wave recovery techniques.
The recovery speed of this Green Grass Field is still too slow.
If Da Zhen Feng's injuries are to fully heal, it would take at least a night.
It's hard to finally enter a Secret Realm; we can't waste it!
After Da Zhen Feng's wounds improved considerably, Lin Mo placed it into a Spirit Ball.
Let's look around; it'd be great if we find any ruins!
If we can't find any, we should retreat early!
After all, it's already late, and returning too late wouldn't be good.
Meow!
The Flash Cat Boss came up beside Lin Mo and called softly.
Let's go!
With that, Lin Mo led the Flash Cat Boss forward.
Dingdong! A Little Spirit Spiny Chrysanthemum Stone Beast detected 500 meters below!
Dingdong! A Little Spirit Ice Snow Giant Dragon detected 500 meters below!
As Lin Mo moved, System Prompt Sound kept echoing in his ears.
Without exception, most of the prompts came from five hundred meters underground.
That utterly mysterious Underground World.
"When Da Zhen Feng's strength reaches Quasi King Level, then I can go down and try my luck!"
Lin Mo shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
"Dingdong! A Little Spirit Strange Strength detected a hundred meters ahead!"
【Strange Strength (Combat Attribute)】
【Level: LV39 (Elite Level)】
【Trait: Perseverance】
【Skills: Revenge, Low Kick, Ghost Face, Throw Using Momentum, Strange Strength, Double Crack, Flame Fist】
【Potential: Quasi King】
Listening to the System Prompt Sound in his ears, Lin Mo frowned slightly: "Elite Level pinnacle Strange Strength?"
It's only a short distance from Quasi King Level.
At any moment, one could step into Quasi King Level.
"Elite Level pinnacle Strange Strength, priced at several hundred thousand!"
Lin Mo stroked his chin, becoming interested.
But on second thought, his Da Zhen Feng was in terrible shape, with only a single cat boss left.
"Some risk!"
Lin Mo murmured softly.
"Bang bang bang!"
Accompanied by a series of bangs, a four‑armed Strange Strength emerged from the distance.
Opposite the Strange Strength stood a girl with rough skin.
"Strange Strength, this Secret Realm expedition is your key to breaking through Quasi King!"
The girl looked at the Strange Strength and said, "You've already lost to that Quasi King Scythe Helmet five times!"
"I don't want you to lose to it a sixth time!"
Hearing the girl's words, Strange Strength let out a low growl, its four arms repeatedly slapping its chest.
It looked full of confidence.
"Alright!"
The girl nodded firmly and said, "We go up!"
The dim‑black girl turned around and headed toward a nearby stream.
"Quasi King Level Scythe Helmet?"
Lin Mo's eyes flickered; he stroked his chin and whispered, "Price: over 2 million!"
Honestly, Lin Mo was now tempted.
A 2‑million Scythe Helmet was worth the risk for Lin Mo.
With that thought, Lin Mo quickened his pace and followed.
"Dingdong! A Little Spirit Scythe Helmet detected two hundred meters ahead!"
【Scythe Helmet (Rock Attribute/Water Attribute)】
【Level: LV40 (Quasi King Phase)】
【Trait: At Ease】
【Skills: Grab, Absorb, Water Jet, Stare, Mud Attack, Primordial Power, Salt Water】
【Potential: Quasi King Phase】
"Early Quasi King Scythe Helmet!"
Lin Mo murmured low, and from afar saw a Scythe Helmet wielding two sharp scythes, looking like a solitary proud swordsman.
It stared coldly at the approaching Strange Strength.
The night veil perfectly concealed Lin Mo, allowing him to stay close behind the girl without being noticed.
"Shh!"
The Scythe Helmet gently swayed its sharp scythes, coldly watching the Strange Strength.
Its mouth slightly opened, emitting a series of low whines.
From their demeanor, it was clear the Scythe Helmet and Strange Strength were old acquaintances.
"Flame Fist!"
The girl's temper was quick; she launched the first attack, and a blinding flame instantly erupted on Strange Strength's right fist.
"Crackle!"
Amid the scorching flame, Strange Strength's right fist slammed hard toward the Scythe Helmet.
"Puff!"
The Scythe Helmet's mouth slightly opened, and a torrent of water surged out instantly.
Observing the Scythe Helmet's practiced movements.
Both clearly had fought many times.
Strange Strength's body bounced, dodging away instantly.
The water stream brushed Strange Strength's right shoulder and slammed heavily onto the mountain rock.
Boom—
But need to keep the quotes? The source includes 「」. Usually we translate the sound effect without quotes? The instruction: Render onomatopoeia as English sound words ('Boom—', 'Crack!'), never delete them. So we output the sound word, maybe without quotes. We'll output: 【241】 Boom—
One by one, huge rocks kept falling from midair.
One by one, huge rocks kept falling from midair.
We'll keep concise: 【242】 One by one, huge rocks kept falling from midair.
Monster power!
The girl reacted swiftly; she saw the monster power's four hands constantly pushing.
But need to keep single line. We'll do: 【244】 The girl reacted swiftly; she saw the monster power's four hands constantly pushing.
Piece after piece of rock was easily slapped to the ground by it.
Halt!
The Sickle Armor in the distance would show no mercy; with a slight movement, he was like a ghost.
He appeared before the monster power.
The sharp sickle came down heavily on the monster power's chest.
Pfft!
A turbulent stream of blood continuously flowed from the monster power's chest.
Ah—!
The monster power let out a miserable scream and kept backing away.
Wave after wave of surging blood kept dripping from its body.
Ah!
Gazing at the scene before him, Lin Mo let out a light sigh: "Looks like there's no chance to pick up a bargain!"
The two are simply not on the same level.
The Sickle Armor whose strength has reached Quasi King Level is truly too powerful.
Just two moves, and it already left the monster power unable to resist.
Since there's no chance to pick up a bargain, what's the use of Lin Mo wasting time here watching the battle?
With that thought, Lin Mo turned around and left directly.
Dingdong! An attribute tree fruit, the Thought Fruit, detected 200 meters ahead!
Thought Fruit: After a psychic Little Spirit uses it, it can enhance aptitude and strength!
Aptitude can be increased up to Quasi King Level!
Hearing the System Prompt Sound in his ear, Lin Mo widened his eyes: "Is this a psychic tree fruit?"
Compared to other attribute tree fruits, the psychic tree fruit is even rarer and more precious.
As of now, Lin Mo has hardly ever seen a psychic tree fruit.
Now he actually encountered one here.
Looking closely, he saw it behind the Sickle Armor.
There was a piece of black fossil.
And his distance from the Sickle Armor happened to be exactly 200 meters.
Because of the System Prompt Sound, Lin Mo often estimates distances.
This 200 meters is absolutely no problem.
And to obtain this Star Shard Fruit, this Sickle Armor must first be dealt with.
Ah!
Lin Mo stroked the cat boss beside him, skillfully pulled out a Black Market hood from his backpack, and sighed: "Looks like we have to take a risk!"
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Accompanied by a series of footstep sounds, a Flower Therapy Ring appeared beside Lin Mo.
Green Grass Field!
Only specks of bluish-green light continuously scattered onto the hard rocky ground.
Blade after blade of bluish-green grass continuously grew out.
The faint green emanating from the Green Grass Field continuously surged onto the monster power's body.
Even the blade scars on its chest were recovering at a visible speed.
You are!
But we need to keep the exclamation. We'll output: 【284】 You are!
「！」 -> This is just an exclamation mark inside quotes. Likely they meant to close the quote: "!" We'll translate as: 【285】!
But maybe better: 【285】! (just an exclamation). We'll output: 【285】!
The girl's expression shifted slightly; seeing Lin Mo suddenly appear, she exclaimed in surprise: "Who are you?"
Help me subdue this Sickle Armor!
Lin Mo looked at the girl, a smile curling his lips: "I can help your monster power achieve a breakthrough!"
Earlier, the girl's words, Lin Mo had heard them loud and clear.
She wasn't very interested in subduing the Sickle Armor.
Coming to this Secret Realm was merely to let her monster power break through.
The girl gave Lin Mo a deep look, then glanced at the Sickle Armor at a disadvantage, and nodded.
Okay!
As the girl's words fell, Lin Mo gave a slight smile: "Cat Boss, Freezing Wind!"
Whoosh!
Then strands of bone-piercing cold wind instantly condensed.
The cold wind covered a huge area and was also fast.
The Sickle Armor could not possibly block it.
It could only let the freezing frost cover its body.
The Scythe Helm, which originally held an absolute speed advantage.
At this moment the speed suddenly dropped, and in the midst of the sickle's chopping, it had already been dodged by great strength.
The girl's face showed delight, and she quickly shouted: "Double chop!"
A flash of white light appeared on the great strength's right hand, and it chopped down forcefully.
Like an extremely sharp blade, it swiftly arrived before the sickle helmet.
Pfft!
The sickle helmet was like a battle machine, its mouth slightly open.
A transparent Guardian Light Curtain instantly wrapped around its body.
The Guardian Light Curtain emitted a faint white light.
It completely enveloped the sickle helmet inside.
Two consecutive chops heavily struck the light curtain.
Bang bang!
Two muffled groans sounded.
