Chapter 130 The Battle of the Absolutely Strong (Double Period at the Beginning of the Month, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 130 [The Battle of the Absolute Strong] (Double period at the beginning of the month, please vote for the monthly ticket!)

Underground maze, center of the seventh floor, redstone basin.

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

But today, an extremely small human challenged the giant beast "ignoring life and death".

——

[Lava monitor lizard: fire attribute monster, the seventh floor master of the underground maze on the outlying island, with lines like magma belts crawling all over the scales, and can spray magma with a temperature of thousands of degrees. The area where it lives for a long time may even cause a small-scale environmental drastic change because of its existence. 】

——

The blood-red spear was like a meteor that cut through the sky, and in an instant, it came to the front of the lava monitor lizard.

The thick black smoke filled its nose, and the lava monitor lizard opened its mouth, and the next moment, a breath composed of magma sprayed out.

The high temperature of thousands of degrees caused the air to twist violently, which was a weight that living creatures could not bear.

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

Wherever the blood-colored spiral spear passed, the high-temperature magma column was constantly broken.

From the outside, the blood-colored meteor rushed forward, surrounded by the exploding red magma droplets, like blooming alternative fireworks, with a deadly crisis that ordinary people could not imagine in the beauty.

A thin "puff" sound.

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

The body of the lava giant lizard suddenly stiffened, and large streams of blood gushed out from the wound.

The severe pain made the eyes of the lava giant lizard become extremely red.

"Roar!"

With a roar of pain, the lava lines on the surface of the lava lizard's body began to surge violently, like a volcano about to erupt, and the terrifying high temperature spreading outward from the body forcibly stopped the bleeding by burning the wound.

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

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

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

And as its attention focused, the lava lizard felt a very subtle and strange momentum on this tiny human. That feeling was like it encountered a terrifying upper predator when it was young. The crushing at the ecological niche level made it feel instinctive fear in all its cells.

But the lava lizard is not an ordinary monster.

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

This is a battle for territory and dignity!

"Roar--!"

As the lava lizard was furious, the ground of the redstone basin began to shake slightly, the ground cracked, and red magma emerged from the gullies.

This is the innate ability of the lava lizard-[magma zone].

Through this talent, the lava lizard 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 lizard", it is only when it stands on the magma that it is the most powerful!

"Sizzle..."

The magma emerging from the ground, even with the [horned dragon armor] boots blocking it, still made Ryan feel a clear burning sensation.

But that's all.

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

6 points of [Fire Resistance lv.2] + 1 point of [Attribute Resistance lv.1] + 10 points of [Hornosaur Armor] = 17 points!

Therefore, among all types of attacks, fire attribute attacks cause the least damage to him.

After resistance reduction, as well as the layers of weakening by [Dragon Helmet] and [Hornosaur Armor], Ryan's perception of the high temperature of the magma is only about 60 or 70 degrees. Although it is still hot, it is not unbearable.

Looking directly at the angry red eyes of the lava giant lizard, Ryan grinned: "It's just a greeting. The battle has just begun..."

In the aftermath of the voice, Ryan's body, who was dragging the sword, had disappeared from the spot.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ground exploded one after another, and several terrifying cracks suddenly appeared between Ryan's original position and the lava giant lizard.

The strong crisis forced the lava giant lizard to launch an instinctive counterattack.

With a roar, the thick shell behind the lava giant lizard exploded like an erupting volcano, and a large amount of black smoke gushed out, sweeping in all directions with its body as the center. The ground where the black smoke passed became extremely red.

Ryan stood in front of the lava giant lizard's right foot, looking at the giant lizard's head only one meter away, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

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

—— [Pure Water Crystal]

[Pure Water Crystal: A treasure that can only be born in a place with rich water elements. It is a collection of pure water elements. It can be used as a material for magic potions. If placed in a certain place for a long time, it can form a special "pure water environment" to slowly evolve water element monsters.

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 pinnacle" 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 filled with "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 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 the battle was over before they had even taken a few steps? !

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 more than ten seconds.

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

Facing a monster at the third extreme level, not only is there no bloody battle, but it 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 layer 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 achieve this level 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 seventh-level maze master, so he must be able to exchange for a lot of battle points, right?

"... Let's go, we should go down to the eighth level."

Huang Bing tried to speak in a calm tone.

And Lvchao and Lanshan, who were standing behind Huang Bing, looked at Ryan with more awe.

In the world of professionals, the strong are always respected. Zifeng can kill the third-level extreme maze master, so it won't be difficult for him to kill the two of them.

Keeping in awe is the way for professionals to survive.

"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 third-level extreme existence now, if he changes to a third-level extreme professional, even if he can win, it will not be so easy.

The reason why he can kill the lava giant lizard quickly is because he has long been accustomed to fighting giant monsters. Under the "professional restraint", this result can be achieved.

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

The entrance to the eighth floor of the underground maze is a spiral staircase.

When Ryan and his party walked to the bottom of the stairs and walked out of the cave, what appeared in front of them 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 hundreds of meters high, carved with a large number of complex and gorgeous patterns and reliefs. From a distance, these patterns and reliefs form a huge and ferocious head.

"Is this the eighth floor of the underground maze?"

Qingling couldn't help but say.

"Yes."

Huang Bing nodded: "The map of the eighth floor of the underground maze does only depict such a small area."

"Next, our goal is to guard 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 to guard until the special mission is successfully completed."

Ryan and others nodded.

Several people walked to the 100-meter stone gate together.

The rough and heavy stone gate was filled with traces of time. There were a large number of murals on the walls around the stone hall, as if telling some kind of deeds. Unfortunately, because of the long time, these murals have been blurred and difficult to distinguish.

"Zifeng, you just defeated the seventh-level maze master, so next, I will guard it first, Qingling and I will be together, you rest first, and after three hours, you and Luchao and Lanshan will take over."

Huang Bing said.

No one objected to this.

From entering the underground maze of Saint Phile to now, more than ten hours have passed, and there have been fierce battles during this period. Although the third-level professionals are called "heroes", they are still human beings, flesh and blood, and they will still feel tired.

And dragging a tired body to fight, the combat effectiveness will inevitably decline.

Especially Ryan, Green Tide and Blue Mountain, they are all melee professionals, and they consume more physical strength in battle.

And the enemies they are about to face are not easy to deal with.

Although the "Hanged Man" has not made a move, it can be seen from his actions of absorbing the black-robed man and the blood-marked black-robed man that his strength must exceed that of the blood-marked black-robed man. Such a big enemy must be dealt with with all his strength.

Ryan nodded slightly to Huang Bing. Although he was physically and mentally strong, there was no need to talk about this kind of thing, not to mention that the current time was roughly between 0 and 1 o'clock, and the journey of [Nameless Ship Sculpture] had been refreshed.

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

Although the people in the Overturned Palace still have a trump card that can be teleported at any time, the problem is that even if it is teleported, it takes time. If they die before the teleportation, even if the teleportation is turned on, what is teleported back is just a corpse.

Now there is free time, and Huang Bing is guarding by the side. Although it is still not very safe, it is still possible to travel simply.

If the main body really feels the threat to his life, Ryan will feel it even if he is traveling, and he can wake up in time.

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

Huang Bing and others looked a little strange about Ryan's behavior, but 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 more bizarre ones.

Several people are also used to it.

After taking a look, Lu Chao and Lan Shan chose a place to sit down and rest.

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

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

The travel of [Nameless Ship Sculpture] needs to be "attached" before it can proceed, so he always has several small bamboo rafts in his ring.

This thing does not 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 palace of Saint Tos City.

Princess Ariel of the water droplet stood quietly by the window of the study alone. Standing at the second highest position in the kingdom, she could clearly overlook the city area where some areas had become ruins.

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

"Everything is on the right track..."

The gorgeous long dress was scattered on the ground. The water drop princess gently raised her hand, and her blue-gold eyes looked at her empty palm, as if observing something.

"Do you regret it?" The clear voice of the black cat sounded.

"Of course... no." The water drop princess said softly: "I just... feel a little ashamed."

"When I was not absolutely sure, I started the action. If there was no time, I would have made more arrangements, and everything would have been more appropriate."

Her eyes looked at the raised underground maze in the distance, as if penetrating the space and falling on Ryan and others on the eighth floor.

"Please... the sons of overthrow..."

...

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

He looked at the blood left on the red stone basin, felt the breath of life that had just passed away here, and laughed coldly.

In the laughter, 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 come...hahaha...hahahaha..."

...

Ryan slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was the mast full of trophies and the jumping bonfire.

He subconsciously glanced at the place where the "help letter" appeared before. After seeing that there was nothing there, Ryan felt relieved, knowing that the current big silver was probably safe.

He walked to the bonfire and chose to teleport.

With the scattered sparks, Ryan came to [Bonfire Point-Corruption Abyss Outpost].

Along the "secret passage", he climbed up to the surface of the "Second Petal Area". After a while, he returned to the place where he fought with the [Upper] Thunder Dragon during his last trip.

Although the Oasis Overlord and the Peerless Hunter were dead, the remaining breath still shocked the surrounding monsters, so that no monster dared to approach this place.

Ryan exhaled lightly and went deeper with a big sword on his back.

This time's journey is different from the previous one. The environment where the main body is located is quite dangerous. The goal of his journey this time is to defeat monsters and upgrade the level in the shortest possible time.

It is best to control it within two hours.

In special circumstances, after two hours, regardless of whether there is any harvest, Ryan is ready to take the initiative to "return home" and return to the main body.

And Ryan's goal is the second monster mentioned by the hermit dragon man.

——The roaring black tiger in front of the door... That is an absolute strong man, a wall of despair that lies ahead...

After defeating the [upper] thunder dragon, the level of the travel clone has reached "level 14 (34%)". If another special species with stronger strength than the [upper] thunder dragon is defeated, the travel clone will most likely be able to upgrade directly.

A monster that can be given the title of "absolute strong man" should be stronger than the "unparalleled hunter".

At present, Ryan's travel clone has greatly increased in strength compared to when he defeated the [upper] thunder dragon.

Not only did he level up by one level and get new silver loot, but he also updated his protective gear and inlaid the [Super Heart Pearl].

His own strength is the confidence that Ryan dares to challenge [Absolute Strong].

Facing the wind and sand, he moved forward all the way. As he got farther and farther away from the oasis, the surface environment turned into a desert again, and there was no green plant in sight.

In the endless 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 wall.

As long as he crossed this cliff wall, he would enter the "Third Petal Area".

Unlike the "First Petal Area" and the "Second Petal Area", the cliff wall between the "Third Petal Area" and the "Second Petal Area" is not yellow-brown, but red-black, and there is a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

Not only that, there is a naturally formed door on the cliff wall. It is a circular passage that has gradually expanded under the erosion of wind and sand and high temperature for many years.

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

Ryan narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming solemn.

Although he did not see any traces of monsters, the place in front of him, if nothing unexpected happened, should be the "door" mentioned by the hermit dragon.

Now that the "door" has appeared, how far can the "absolute strong man" be?

"Huh..."

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

As he gradually approached the "door", an indescribable sense of oppression began to emerge in his heart, as if what was in front of him was not a "door", but a "land of death" with a bloody mouth, waiting for prey to walk in.

When Ryan walked to the front of the "door", only 20 meters away from stepping into the "door", the sense of oppression in his heart reached its peak.

"Crack!"

The sound of rock cracking was particularly harsh in the sound of wind and sand.

Ryan suddenly raised his head and looked at the top of the cliff, revealing half of the black-red shadow.

"Roar——!"

In the roar of the dragon, the black-red shadow exerted force on all four limbs, suddenly pounced down from the cliff, and attacked Ryan with huge claws.
