greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Linglong didn’t hesitate and shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She appeared not far from the Mutated Black Tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mutated Black Tiger stared at Nangong Linglong, whose body was flickering with four colored Attribute Energy, its face ferocious and twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of this is my wealth, mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mutated Black Tiger roared, struggling to rise from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its movement, blood kept spilling everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spot where it had been lying now revealed a small pool brimming with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Sheng and the other Tier Eight Evolvers moved no slower than Nangong Linglong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they stood by her side, eyes locked onto the severely wounded, dying Tier Ten Mutated Giant Tiger, brimming with fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fully-powered Tier Ten Mutant Beast was out of their league.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one at death’s door—surely they could put up a fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as we kill this giant tiger...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All those Crystals will belong to us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Sheng couldn’t help laughing aloud to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter didn’t last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment Gao Sheng and the Tier Eight Evolvers set foot in the valley, the Mutated Giant Tiger that a second ago had looked exhausted suddenly changed expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its aura still felt weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, just as Nangong Linglong had sensed, the serious injury was no fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On its huge, savage black face, the previous fierce facade was gone, replaced with a mocking, human-like sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foolish and greedy humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No different than the ones from yesterday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mutated Black Tiger’s voice became eerily calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Linglong and her party’s faces instantly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black mist suddenly began to surge around the valley, out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Shuttle Ability has been blocked!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re trapped in this valley!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Tier Eight Evolver muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mist barrier around the valley had already fully formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Linglong’s pretty face darkened as she unleashed a four-colored beam at the edge of the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full-force strike from a Tier Nine Powerhouse hit the black mist but didn’t even cause a ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Linglong darted toward the valley’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had clearly dashed out of the valley—only to return to where she started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Tiger watched their attempts coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned slowly, lowering its huge tiger head toward the void behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a simple address, but full of respect and profound reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true master finally made its entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was that bizarre tentacle monster covered in eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pitch black all over, about a kilometer long, swaying in midair like seaweed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its surface was covered with eyes large and small, each one rolling, utterly unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura from this tentacle far surpassed the Mutated Black Tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Yu Jin’s perspective, its Value was laid bare at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>15,000,000—mid-stage Tier Twelve Evolver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier Ten Mutated Black Tiger and Tier Nine Nangong Linglong only had Values just above 500,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between the two—a full thirtyfold difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re screwed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This, this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be a true Star System-Level Mutant Beast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Linglong City group turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the tentacle appeared, its terrifying pressure and evil aura made everyone from Tier Eight to Tier Nine’s hearts pound wildly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under its oppressive aura, the flow of Attribute Energy within their bodies became sluggish and clouded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacle swaying in midair clearly possessed substantial intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Black Tiger before, it too could speak human language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"De...li...cious...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two syllables sounded like a death sentence for the Linglong City party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fusion Skill——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wind-Fire-Thunder-Lightning Lotus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Linglong’s clear shout suddenly shattered the valley’s silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment the tentacle appeared, she had already started charging her ultimate attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike was her Tier Nine Ability fusion of Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yu Jin raised an eyebrow at this spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ability fusion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That seems like an excellent path for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin pondered silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four-colored lotus slammed onto the kilometer-long tentacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this stunning attack, nearly at Tier Ten level, with a Value approaching one million,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was useless—a million Value couldn’t even scratch the tentacle monster’s defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even... more... delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kilometer-long tentacle writhed, seemingly even more ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black mist poured forth continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mist began to corrode the Attribute Energy within Linglong City’s group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like ice meeting fire, melting endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier Eight Evolvers, Tier Nine Nangong Linglong—their Attribute Energy was completely depleted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place, black mist rampaged inside them, endlessly devouring flesh and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah——!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams echoed throughout the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kilometer-long tentacle split into hundreds of smaller tentacle roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiny tentacles shot forth, and in an instant, every Tier Eight Evolver was tightly bound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Linglong City’s strategist, Gao Sheng could no longer shout, \"The bigger the waves, the pricier the fish.\" Now, on the verge of being strangled to death by a single tentacle, he could just gasp in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>",892,"2026-06-06T09:25:00.978Z",1,"novelbin.me","3cbeb6516e89beae2270b0f9cf98d4a574b1392fbebb110db02577dd00e2c5dc","wasteland-s-only-king-chapter-263","wasteland-s-only-king-chapter-261",370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwasteland-s-only-king-cover.jpg"]
