126: Chapter 126 The Four Guardians of the Abyss

Once Zhan Wuji and Tang Mo had moved away, furry, spider-like legs slowly extended from beneath the white bone tortoise shell.

The Thousand-Legged Spider Bone Turtle quickly arrived beside the corpse of the Poison-Winged Bear-Parrot and began to feast.

While eating, it cursed,

"Damn you, Poison-Winged Bear-Parrot, you have your day too. The humiliation you four beasts inflicted upon me back then, today you shall pay for it with your flesh and blood!"

"Once I have digested your flesh and blood, my level and strength will advance further, and by then..."

"Hahaha, Lord of the Bone Mound, you never dreamed of this, did you? I've already tampered with that human. As soon as she leaves this place, I can activate the teleportation formation on her at any time. Then I can leave this godforsaken place and go see the outside world."

"So, whether it's the Lord of the Bone Mound who leads her out of the abyss, or these two humans who take her away, I will be the ultimate winner!"

"Hahahaha..."

After retrieving all four pieces of diamond-grade equipment using his Talent, Tang Mo once again gained 400 skill points.

Because he was in the abyss, Tang Mo dared not lose focus, so he hadn't had much time to manage his max-level skills.

Even after leveling up, he hadn't had time to check his newly acquired God-level Skills, let alone learn new ones.

Zhan Wuji was even more focused on the surrounding situation; the environment forced him to remain vigilant.

Suddenly, with a thunderous roar, the ground in front of Tang Mo and Zhan Wuji split open, creating a massive gap.

A ferocious beast, covered in a hard shell like bone armor and bristling with sharp barbs on its shoulders and back, leaped out from underground.

It stood on two legs, its sinewy beast-flesh brimming with power. A pair of massive, formidable pincers were crossed over its chest, and its tail behind it was also encased in bone armor.

Upon seeing Tang Mo and the other, the Armored Bone Crab Rhino appeared very surprised,

"How could humans appear here?"

As it spoke, the Armored Bone Crab Rhino raised a nose-like organ on its massive mouthparts and sniffed the air,

"So that's how it is. You've already taken care of that Bear-Parrot fellow; no wonder you managed to make it this far."

"What a piece of trash, really embarrassing for us Four Abyss Guardians."

Speaking of which, the Armored Bone Crab Rhino looked at Zhan Wuji and Tang Mo and continued, "Finally, I can have a proper fight. Come on, use all your strength, otherwise I will twist you into pulp while you're still alive."

"Bone Hammer Chariot!"

After speaking, the Armored Bone Crab Rhino curled its body into a ball and charged rapidly toward Tang Mo and the other.

Zhan Wuji had already assumed a combat stance with his twin axes, and he said to Tang Mo, "Quick, give me a buff."

Tang Mo quickly cast Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst on Zhan Wuji, and Zhan Wuji's combat power instantly surged.

"Ascending Dragon Tower!"

A massive slash struck the Armored Bone Crab Rhino precisely from bottom to top.

With a squelching sound, a huge gash instantly split open on the Armored Bone Crab Rhino's hard bone armor.

The Armored Bone Crab Rhino was shocked; this suit of bone armor was its proudest defensive measure, naturally possessing 70% damage reduction.

Therefore, every time it faced an enemy, the Armored Bone Crab Rhino could rely on this bone armor to be invincible and unstoppable.

It didn't expect that it would actually be cleaved open by a human today.

Just how high must this person's damage be?!

Thinking of this, the Armored Bone Crab Rhino couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. Is there still a chance for me to run now?

Zhan Wuji, seeing that he had only managed to break one layer of the opponent's shell even while buffed, found this unacceptable and immediately raised his axe to strike it again.

"Take another one from me!"

"Twin Dragon Steel-Force Slash!"

Two terrifying slashes instantly illuminated the entire area.

The Armored Bone Crab Rhino was shocked at the sight. If it were struck by these again, its bone armor would likely be completely ruined.

Therefore, it immediately began to exert its absolute defense skill with all its might,

"Eight-Fold Shield Bone Armor!"

In an instant, eight massive, spike-covered bone shields appeared out of thin air in front of the Armored Bone Crab Rhino.

In mid-air, the two slashes collided with the bone shields one after another.

The first slash destroyed four bone shields like a hot knife through butter before completely dissipating,

The second slash also completely dissipated after shattering the remaining four bone shields.

As the smoke cleared, the Armored Bone Crab Rhino was still standing perfectly in place, while Zhan Wuji was left with only half his health.

It turned out that the Armored Bone Crab Rhino's Eight-Fold Shield Bone Armor possessed the ability to reflect damage; nearly 60% of the damage from the two axe strikes Zhan Wuji unleashed had been reflected back onto himself.

"Hahaha! Doesn't feel good to be hurt by your own attack, does it?!"

Seeing that its defense had worked, the Armored Bone Crab Rhino immediately revealed an arrogant expression and said with a laugh,

"This is just the beginning. From now on, as long as your attacks hit me, you will be hurt by my damage reflection, until you are reflected to death."

"But if you don't attack, I will attack you, and you will ultimately die by my hands."

"Ahahaha..."

Seeing Zhan Wuji injured, Tang Mo immediately cast a Poison-Heal, and Zhan Wuji's health instantly recovered.

After obtaining a full set of supreme-grade equipment, Tang Mo's spirit value had long since broken through to over 80 million, and his own poison damage had also reached over 80 million.

The level 80 Poison-Heal had a 3000% damage conversion bonus, so a single heal amounted to over 200 million.

Even though Zhan Wuji had leveled up to 403 and his stamina had greatly increased, it was only close to 400 million. Even if he lost half, it wouldn't reach 200 million, so the overflowing healing amount was directly converted into a shield on Zhan Wuji.

Tang Mo's actions naturally attracted the attention of the Armored Bone Crab Rhino.

Its original smile instantly froze on its face; it hadn't expected the opponent to have such a trick up their sleeve—this unassuming guy was actually a healer.

Kill the healer first in a team fight; the Armored Bone Crab Rhino seemed to understand this principle as well and immediately charged toward Tang Mo.

If he didn't kill Tang Mo, how was he supposed to fight Zhan Wuji?

"Don't even think about getting past me!"

"Dragon Soars Across the Nine Provinces!"

Zhan Wuji slashed out with his axe, and the ground was directly split open by a long fissure.

But the Armored Bone Crab Rhino successfully dodged the attack with nimble footwork, and it was now only a hundred meters or so away from Tang Mo.

"Hahaha, die! Ant!"

Just as the Armored Bone Crab Rhino was about to reach Tang Mo, a massive sense of crisis suddenly locked onto it tightly.

The Armored Bone Crab Rhino immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "Danger! But I can't dodge it, no matter what, I can't dodge it!"

It turned its head to look and saw that, at some unknown time, a group of tall, giant skeletons had appeared behind it.

Those giant skeletons were holding massive blades and attacking it; the danger the Armored Bone Crab Rhino sensed was precisely coming from them.

After Realm of Death reached max level, Tang Mo could summon eighty Highly Poisonous Skeletons at once.

And each attribute of the Highly Poisonous Skeletons was 300% of Tang Mo's spirit value.

By calculation, the current attributes of the Highly Poisonous Skeletons had all exceeded 300 million, which was almost on the same level as the Armored Bone Crab Rhino.

Facing so many Highly Poisonous Skeletons at the same time, how could the Armored Bone Crab Rhino not feel a sense of crisis?
