After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 130 [Absolutely Strong] Battle (double period at the beginning of the month, please vote for me!)

Underground maze, center of the seventh floor, red stone basin.

The layers of sound waves spread and swept across, showing the unquestionable majesty of the seventh floor maze master.

But today, there is an extremely small human being who has launched a "life or death" challenge to the giant beast.

-

[Lava Monitor: A fire-attribute monster, the leader of the seventh floor of the underground maze on an outlying island. Its scales are covered with lines shaped like magma belts. It can eject magma with a temperature of thousands of degrees. The area where it lives for a long time will even cause Its existence produces drastic changes in the environment on a small scale. 】

-

The blood-red spear was like a meteor piercing the sky, and in an instant, it arrived in front of the lava giant lizard.

Thick black smoke filled the air from its nose, the lava giant lizard opened its mouth, and the next moment, its breath composed of magma spurted out.

The high temperature of thousands of degrees caused the air to twist violently, which was unbearable for living beings.

Unfortunately, its opponent is not a flesh and blood creature, but a "spear" made of pure blood.

The blood-colored spiral spear passed by, and the high-temperature magma pillars were continuously broken open.

From the perspective of the outside world, the bloody meteor is rushing forward, surrounded by exploding red magma droplets, like an alternative type of fireworks in full bloom. Amid the beauty, there is a fatal crisis that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

There was a small sound of "Puff".

In a very short period of time, the blood-colored spiral spear completely broke through the magma column, penetrated into the chest of the lava beast, and flew out from its back.

The lava giant lizard's body suddenly stiffened, and large streams of blood spurted out from the penetrating wound.

The severe pain made the lava dragon's eyes turn extremely red.

"Roar--!"

With a roar of pain, the magma lines on the surface of the lava monitor began to surge violently, like a volcano about to erupt, and the terrifying high temperature spreading outwards from the inside of the body forcibly stopped the bleeding by burning the wounds. .

This move caused the lava dragon to suffer serious injuries, but if he did not do this and allowed the wound to continue to bleed, the consequences would be more serious.

The bloodshot red beast eyes fell on the human being dragging the sword in front, and the lava giant lizard's eyes were full of vigilance.

At first, it didn't take this "ant" seriously, but the spear just now made it clearly realize that this "human" is not easy to mess with.

And as it focused its attention, the lava monitor felt a very subtle strange aura in this tiny human being. It felt like it had encountered a terrifying upper-level predator when it was young, and that kind of ecological niche level The crushing force made every cell in his body feel instinctive fear.

But the lava dragon is no ordinary monster.

As the owner of the seventh floor of the underground maze, the absolute lord, its dignity does not allow it to turn around and escape.

This is a battle for territory and dignity!

"Roar--!"

With the rage of the lava giant lizard, the ground of the Red Stone Basin began to shake slightly, the ground cracked, and red magma emerged in the gullies.

This is the innate ability of the lava dragon - [Magma Zone].

Through this talent, the lava dragon can change the terrain environment of a certain area in a short period of time, causing magma to emerge from the ground. As a "Lava Monitor", it is most powerful when it stands on top of magma!

"Thorn..."

The magma emerging from the ground, even if blocked by the [Ceratopsian Armor] boots, still made Ryan feel a clear burning sensation.

But that's all.

You know, among Ryan's attribute resistances, the fire attribute resistance is the highest, reaching a terrifying 17 points!

【火属性抵抗lv.2】的6点+【属性抵抗lv.1】的1点+【角龙铠装】的10点=17点！

Therefore, of all types of attacks, fire-based attacks do the least damage to him.

After the resistance reduction and the weakening of [Dragon Helmet] and [Chorned Dragon Armor], the high temperature of the magma is only sixty or seventy degrees in Ryan's perception. Although it is still hot, it is not impossible. Bear.

Looking directly into the angry red eyes of the lava dragon, Ryan grinned: "I just said hello, the battle has just begun..."

In the aftertaste of the voice, Ryan's body, which was dragging his sword, disappeared.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ground exploded one after another, and several large and terrifying cracks spread out between Ryan's original position and the lava lizard.

The intense crisis forced the lava dragon to launch an instinctive counterattack.

With a roar, the thick carapace behind the lava dragon exploded directly like an erupting volcano, and a large amount of black smoke spewed out. With its body as the center, it swept in all directions. The ground where the black smoke passed became extremely red. .

Ryan stood in front of the lava monitor's right foot and looked at the monitor's head, which was only one meter away, with a cold glint in his eyes.

He put the big sword on his shoulder with his right hand and began to accumulate strength. At the same time, the space ring on his finger flashed, and a light blue round bead the size of a thumb appeared in his left hand.

——[Pure Water Crystal]

[Pure water crystal: a treasure that can only be born in places with strong water elements. It is a polymerization of pure water elements. It can be used as a material for potions. If placed in a certain place for a long time, it can form a special "Pure water environment" allows water element monsters to evolve slowly.

When holding [Pure Water Crystal], within a radius of three meters (when standing still, this range will continue to expand, with a maximum radius of thirty meters), the water vapor is dense, forming a "water vapor environment", making it difficult for flames to survive. If a skilled craftsman performs secondary processing, it can stimulate even greater power. 】

-

With the appearance of [Pure Water Crystal], a rich "water vapor environment" formed around Ryan.

The "water vapor environment" that in the past made the flame breath of the leader of the "lower peak" Fire Dragon almost ineffective, now once again exerts a miraculous effect.

The billowing high-temperature black smoke collided violently when it came into contact with the "water vapor environment", and finally passed through the "water vapor area" and moved farther away.

By the time the lava dragon discovered that his attack had no effect, Ryan had already completed the "three stages of charging."

"kill!"

With a loud shout, rich spiritual sound waves spread.

As a monster at the third extreme level, the lava dragon was minimally affected by the sound waves and recovered with just a shake, but this was enough for Ryan.

The black and yellow sword filled with flames suddenly slashed down.

With a loud "click", the huge lava monitor seemed to be hit by a giant hammer similar to its size. Its head was raised, its eyes were full of "mosquito-like" circles, and its body also staggered. He staggered back, finally lost his balance and fell to the ground.

With one strike of the sword, the behemoth, whose tonnage was several to a thousand times greater than that of a human being, fell down.

Ryan stepped forward and came to the front of the fallen lava lizard. He picked up the big sword and charged up his strength again.

"Thum-thum-thum!"

Three stages of charging were completed in one go. Before the stunned lava dragon could wake up from its "fainting state", it was hit hard again.

The thick and sharp [Great Sword·True Red Crowned Horn] directly broke through the scales on the surface of the lava dragon's body, and even embedded itself in the deepest and hardest skull. The violent shock wave destroyed the lava dragon in an instant. The tender brain tissue inside the skull was mashed into paste.

The flowing magma on the body surface gradually cooled and solidified, and the lava monitor's limbs trembled a few times, and finally became stiff and cold.

Ryan pulled out the big sword and scattered the flesh and blood stained on the sword. Looking at the dead lava beast in front of him, he shook his head slightly and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:

"too weak."

——Yes, too weak.

Compared with the monsters traveling in the land, the strength of the lava giant beast is more than one level lower than that of the same size. Not to mention the male fire dragon leader, even the female fire dragon cannot compare.

It’s actually not difficult to understand if you think about it.

On the mysterious island, monsters have to fight monsters of the same size every day in order to survive. After long-term training, their combat power is naturally very strong. Although the lava dragon is the master of the maze layer, it is among the monsters that can reach this level. The existence of this type of body is very rare. It can become a layer master mainly because of its size and tonnage. In this case, it is unrealistic to say that it has very strong combat power.

On the other side, Huang Bing, Green Chao, Qing Ling and Lan Shan were all stunned.

Especially the two of them, Green Chao and Lan Shan, were just about to walk to the edge to take warning, but before they had even taken a few steps, the battle was over? !

From the beginning to the end of the battle, it took less than half a minute.

Deducting the time it took Ryan to walk to the Red Stone Basin, the real battle only took about ten seconds.

It was over in ten seconds... This was no longer a battle, but a crushing!

Facing the monsters at the third extreme level, not only there is no bloody battle, but they can also be crushed to death...

Although Huang Bing's face was expressionless, she was no less shocked than the others at the moment.

Precisely because she herself is the third-level ultimate, she knows very well that the strength of the seventh-level maze level master is even stronger than the previous man in the blood-striped black robe.

But under such circumstances, the battle ended in a shorter time. Looking at the entire battle, the performance of the maze floor master and Zifeng gave her a very strange feeling.

How should I put it? It was as if both parties had rehearsed in advance. Before the maze floor master's attack was used, Zifeng had already anticipated it and prepared countermeasures in advance.

But Huang Bing knew very well that this was impossible.

The underground maze has been sealed for hundreds of years. It is impossible for Zifeng to have the opportunity to contact the owner of the seventh floor of the maze. If he can do this without "rehearsing" in advance, there is only one possibility:

Zifeng is extremely familiar with the habits of large monsters, and it can even be said that he is familiar with them to the core. Therefore, even if he has never fought with the master of the seventh floor of the labyrinth, he can predict the opponent's subtle movements. This has created the current situation. A shocking achievement.

"What kind of past does this man have?"

This thought emerged in Huang Bing's mind involuntarily.

"call……"

Sighing lightly and suppressing all the turbulent emotions in his heart, Huang Bing called out to Green Chao and the others, and walked towards the center of the Red Stone Basin.

Hearing Huang Bing's greeting, Qing Ling woke up from a dream.

She retracted her gaze blankly staring at Zifeng's back, pursed her lips, and quickly caught up. However, Miss Assassin still couldn't help but think: The day Zifeng saved me, that's how he defeated the black-robed man. , is that why the man in black robe ran away without a fight after meeting him?

When Huang Bing and the four of them reached the center of the Red Stone Basin, Ryan also completed the recovery of the lava monitor's body.

Although the materials of the third level are not precious to him now, after leaving the underground maze, he can still exchange for many good things with the Santos royal family.

After all, he is the master of the seventh floor of the labyrinth, so he must be able to redeem a lot of achievement points, right?

"...Let's go, it's time for us to go down to the eighth floor."

Huang Bing said as calmly as possible.

Green Chao and Lan Shan, who were standing behind Huang Bing, looked at Ryan with even more awe.

In the world of professionals, the strong have always been respected. Zifeng can kill the maze layer master of the third extreme level, and it will not be difficult to kill the two of them.

Remaining in awe is the way of survival for professionals.

"Let's go." Noticing the changes in the eyes of several people, Ryan knew that they had misunderstood, but Ryan was too lazy to explain, just nodded slightly and said

Although he does have the strength to defeat the existence of the third-level extreme, if it were a third-level extreme professional, even if he could win, it would not be so easy.

The reason why he was able to kill the lava giant lizard quickly was because he was already accustomed to fighting giant monsters. Only under "professional restraint" could he achieve such results.

With the death of the lava monitor, the "lava environment" here quickly subsided.

The entrance to the eighth floor of the underground maze is a spiral staircase. When Ryan and his team walked to the bottom of the stairs and walked out through the cave, what appeared in front of their eyes was not the vast underground ecological environment they imagined, but a space similar to a palace.

In the deepest part of the stone palace, there is a huge stone door that is hundreds of meters high. It is carved with a large number of complicated and magnificent lines and reliefs. From a distance, these lines and reliefs form a huge and ferocious head.

"This is the eighth floor of the underground maze?"

Qingling couldn't help but speak.

"Yes."

Huang Bing nodded: "The map on the eighth floor of the underground maze really only depicts such a small area."

"Next, our goal is to guard in front of this 100-meter stone gate to prevent anyone from approaching."

"Especially 'The Hanged Man.'"

"The 'Hanged Man' may attack at any time. In the next half day, in order to ensure sufficient energy, we will take turns guarding until the special mission is successfully completed."

Ryan and others nodded.

The group of people walked together to the 100-meter stone gate.

The rough and heavy stone door is full of traces of time. There are a large number of murals on the walls around the stone hall, which seem to be telling some kind of deeds. Unfortunately, because it has been so long ago, these murals have been blurred and unclear. Hard to tell.

"Zifeng, you just defeated the master of the seventh floor of the labyrinth. Then, I will guard it first. Qingling and I will rest together. After three hours, it will be your turn with Green Chao and Lanshan. .”

Huang Bing said.

No one has any objection to this.

More than ten hours have passed since entering the St. Phil underground labyrinth, and there have been fierce battles during this period. Although third-level professionals are called "heroes", they are still human beings, and they are still flesh and blood. They still feel exhausted.

And fighting with a tired body will inevitably lead to a decline in combat effectiveness.

In particular, Ryan, Green Tide and Blue Mountain are all melee professionals, and fighting consumes more physical energy.

And the enemy they are about to face next is not an easy one.

Although "The Hanged Man" has never taken action, it can be seen from his actions of absorbing the man in black robe and the man in blood-striped black robe that his strength must exceed the man in blood-striped black robe. Such a powerful enemy must be dealt with with all his strength.

Ryan nodded slightly to Huang Bing. Although he was full of energy and energy, there was no need to say such things. What's more, the current time was roughly between 0 and 1 o'clock, and the travel of [Unknown Ship Sculpture] had been refreshed.

The existence of "The Hanged Man" brought extremely heavy pressure to Ryan.

Although everyone in the Overturned Palace still has the trump card of being able to teleport away at any time, the problem is that even teleportation takes time. If someone dies before the teleportation, then even if the teleportation is enabled, only a corpse will be teleported back. That’s all.

Now that I have some free time and Huang Bing is watching over me, although it's still not very safe, it's still okay for a brief tour.

If the main body really feels a life threat, Ryan will feel it even while traveling and wake up in time.

Under Huang Bing's gaze, Ryan walked to the stone door, took out a small bamboo raft from the space ring, placed it on the ground, and then lay down on the bamboo raft.

Regarding Ryan's actions, although Huang Bing and others looked a little strange, they didn't say anything.

Everyone has their own habits, especially the strong. Although it is rare to use a bamboo raft as a bed, there are still some weird ones.

Several people were not surprised.

After taking a look, Luchao and Lanshan chose a place to sit down and rest.

As for Huang Bing and Qing Ling, they stood directly in front of the gate, fully alert.

Ryan lay on the bamboo raft and slowly closed his eyes.

[Unnamed Boat Sculpture]'s travels require "attachment" before he can proceed, so he always has several small bamboo rafts in his ring.

This thing doesn't take up much space and is very convenient to store.

"Travel, start!"

……

When Ryan and others arrived at the eighth floor of the underground maze.

On the surface, at the top of the royal palace in Santos City.

Ariel, the droplet princess, stood quietly by the window of the study room. Standing at the second highest position in the kingdom, she could clearly overlook part of the city that had become ruins.

A black kitten squatted by the window edge, also watching this scene, with an elusive light flowing in its eyes.

"Everything is on track..."

The gorgeous long dress spread to the ground. Princess Water Drop gently raised her hand, her blue-gold eyes looking at her empty palm, as if she was observing something.

"Do you regret it?" Black Cat's clear voice sounded.

"Of course... no." Princess Water Drop said softly, "I'm just... a little ashamed."

"We started taking action when we were not absolutely sure. If we had not run out of time and made more arrangements, everything would have been better."

Her eyes looked towards the bulging underground maze in the distance, seeming to penetrate the space and fall on Ryan and others on the eighth floor.

"Please... Sons of Overthrow..."

……

At the entrance to the eighth floor of the underground maze, a dark shadow stood quietly.

He looked at the blood remaining on the red stone basin, feeling the breath of life that had just passed away here, and let out bursts of cold laughter.

As he laughed, his body began to melt into black mud, and with the entrance as the center, it slowly formed a "black spider web" that continued to spread until it covered the entire red stone basin.

"The time of reckoning has arrived...haha...hahahaha..."

……

Ryan slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a mast full of trophies and a dancing bonfire.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the location where the "letter for help" appeared. After seeing that there was nothing there, Ryan felt relieved, knowing that Dayin was most likely safe.

He walked to the campfire and chose to teleport.

Along with the dissipating sparks, Ryan came to [Bonfire Point-Corrupt Abyss Outpost].

Along the "secret passage", he climbed to the surface of the "Second Petal Area", and after a while, returned to the place where he fought the [upper] Thunder Dragon during his last travel.

Although the Oasis Overlord and the Unparalleled Hunter are dead, the remaining aura still frightens the surrounding monsters, so that no monster here dares to approach.

Ryan let out a breath and headed deeper with the sword on his back.

This travel trip is no different than before, and the environment the main body is in is quite dangerous. His goal for this trip is to defeat monsters and improve his level in the shortest possible time.

Best, keep it within two hours.

The situation was special. After two hours, regardless of whether he had gained something or not, Ryan was ready to take the initiative to "return" and return to his true nature.

And Ryan's target is the second monster mentioned by the reclusive dragon man.

——The roaring black tiger in front of the door... That is the absolutely strong man, the wall of despair that stretches across the road...

After defeating the [Higher Level] Thunder Dragon, the level of the Traveling Clone has reached "Level 14 (34%)". If we defeat another special species that is stronger than the [Higher Level] Thunder Dragon, there is a high probability that the Traveling Clone can be directly upgraded. .

A monster that can be given the title of "Absolute Power" should be more powerful than the "Unparalleled Hunter".

Currently, Ryan's traveling clone has greatly increased in strength compared to when he was fighting the [higher] Thunder Dragon.

Not only did the level increase by one level and new silver trophies were obtained, but the protective gear was also updated and inlaid with [Super Heart Beads].

The ability to become stronger is the confidence that Ryan dares to challenge the "absolutely strong".

Facing the wind and sand, we advanced all the way. As we got further and further away from the oasis, the surface environment turned into a desert again, without any green plants in sight.

The long yellow sand, if it weren't for the vague shadow of the cliff in the distance, Ryan might have been lost.

After walking for half an hour, Ryan arrived not far from the cliff.

As long as he crosses this mountain cliff, he will enter the "Third Petal Area".

Different from the "First Petal Area" and "Second Petal Area", the mountain cliff between the "Third Petal Area" and the "Second Petal Area" is not yellow-brown, but red and black, with a faint glow in the air. A faint smell of sulfur.

Not only that, there is a naturally formed door on the mountain cliff, which is a circular passage gradually expanded and formed by the erosion of sand and high temperature for countless years.

Deep in the passage, a diffuse red light can be vaguely seen.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and his expression became serious.

Although there was no trace of any monsters, the place in front of them, not surprisingly, should be what the reclusive dragon called the "door".

And now that the "door" has appeared, can the "absolutely strong" be far behind?

"call……"

Taking a long breath, Ryan raised his hand to hold the hilt of the sword behind him and walked towards the door step by step.

As he gradually got closer to the "door", an indescribable feeling of depression began to emerge in his heart, as if what was in front of him was not the "door", but an open mouth, waiting for the prey to walk in. "Place of the Dead".

When Ryan walked directly in front of the "door" and was only twenty meters away from stepping into the "door", the feeling of depression in his heart reached its peak.

"Crack!"

The sound of cracking rocks was particularly harsh amid the sound of wind and sand.

Ryan raised his head suddenly and looked at the black and red shadow above the mountain cliff, revealing half of his body.

"Roar--!"

Amidst the shocking roar of the dragon, the black and red shadow exerted force on its limbs and suddenly jumped down from the mountain cliff. Its huge claws struck towards Ryan in the air.
