138: Chapter 138 The Power of Max-Level Skills
Fortunately, although there was pressure, it did not affect the distance of the teleportation.
However, as soon as he appeared, a pressure even more violent than before struck from all directions, causing Tang Mo to stagger and drop directly to one knee.
Fortunately, Zhan Wuji was quick to react and reached out to steady him. "This won't do, we cannot continue moving forward."
"The pressure is getting stronger and stronger. If we continue forward, we will all be crushed into meat patties!"
Tang Mo: "Then what do we do? We can't just go back!"
"No need, we just need to interrupt it, making it unable to continue maintaining that skill, just like what you did just now."
Tang Mo glanced at the Lord of the Bone Mound in mid-air and understood what Zhan Wuji meant.
However, Tang Mo was too far away from the Lord of the Bone Mound at this moment for the Domain of Poison to cover it, and the Poison God Possession status had already vanished. This meant he was missing a 2500% damage bonus, so whether he could interrupt it or not was entirely up to fate.
Thinking of this, Tang Mo began to chant an incantation. Soon, a pocket-sized, cute-looking poison spirit doll with short legs and feet appeared in Tang Mo's hand. He threw it onto the ground, and the poison spirit doll instantly vanished from its spot, appearing beside the Lord of the Bone Mound the next second.
Boom~! A violent explosion sounded, followed by a powerful shockwave generated by the blast, which directly knocked over the fierce beasts beneath the Lord of the Bone Mound.
Tang Mo was stunned for a moment; it was his first time seeing a poison spirit doll with such power, and he felt as if the entire abyss was shaking along with it.
He immediately realized that this had triggered the equipment property of the Supreme-grade White Tiger Mage Hat, which had a chance to trigger the max-level effect of a skill when it was cast.
Although the chance of it being triggered was very low, there was still a chance, and as the saying goes, things like probability are purely a matter of luck. Tang Mo felt that his luck was quite good right now.
But soon, Tang Mo was slapped in the face again.
After the poison spirit doll explodes, there is a chance it will produce three poison spirit dolls to continue the attack. Just after hearing one explosion, Tang Mo heard two more in quick succession, but they were rapidly approaching him.
Could it be... the previous explosion didn't hit it?!
Although it was hard to believe, Tang Mo felt it wasn't impossible. The speed of the Lord of the Bone Mound had already far exceeded Tang Mo's understanding, so it was expected that the poison spirit doll couldn't catch up.
But what was with the explosion sounds coming toward him? The pressure around here was still present, the skill hadn't been dispelled, could it move?
Before Tang Mo could continue thinking, a familiar sense of oppression struck him again.
Daring not to delay any further, Tang Mo directly used Space Walker to turn and run inside.
At this moment, the pressure throughout the entire abyss was rapidly increasing. After Tang Mo teleported to the original position of the Lord of the Bone Mound, a tremendous pressure pinned him down, making him unable to move.
Not only him, but even Zhan Wuji felt the immense pressure.
The weaker fierce beasts in the field were directly crushed into meat patties, splattering red and white all over the ground.
However, Tang Mo had no spare time to care about them; the attack of the Lord of the Bone Mound was upon him in an instant.
After glancing at Zhan Wuji, Tang Mo simply handed the tent containing Tang Yuyan to Zhan Wuji, then signaled for him to take Tang Yuyan and hide first, while he himself would deal with the Lord of the Bone Mound.
Zhan Wuji's eyes clearly widened, thinking to himself, shouldn't I be the one saying that?
But being a seasoned veteran, he quickly understood Tang Mo's intention.
Even with the buffs from four skills, Zhan Wuji couldn't hurt the Lord of the Bone Mound; rushing up would be useless and only serve as cannon fodder.
But this kid Tang Mo's attacks could hurt the Lord of the Bone Mound. Although he didn't know how he managed it, Zhan Wuji had seen the previous attack with his own eyes; between the two of them, only Tang Mo's attacks were effective against the Lord of the Bone Mound!
Thus, the best candidate to deal with the Lord of the Bone Mound was naturally Tang Mo.
Quickly making a decision, Zhan Wuji took the still-unconscious Tang Yuyan, and he and Tang Mo simultaneously used the displacement skills from their equipment.
Since the Lord of the Bone Mound had been fixated on Tang Mo, it immediately chased after the direction of Tang Mo's teleportation.
The pressure around them kept increasing. Tang Mo knew he had to stop the skill immediately; otherwise, not only would he be unable to bear it, but Zhan Wuji and Tang Yuyan were likely reaching their limits as well.
Tang Mo began to chant an incantation rapidly. Dark green Poison Barriers began to rise around them, and black raindrops fell continuously from the sky.
Just as he released the two skills, the attack of the Lord of the Bone Mound arrived.
"Domain of Poison!"
However, with the Corrosive Poison Barrier and Corrosive Rain, Tang Mo essentially had home-field advantage in the battle.
Using the skill Poison Flash, Tang Mo easily dodged the Lord of the Bone Mound's attack again, and also released the Domain of Poison within the area of the Corrosive Poison Barrier and Corrosive Rain, making the Lord of the Bone Mound unable to release skills.
Even so, Tang Mo dared not use his Body of Poison to directly take the physical attacks of the Lord of the Bone Mound. Mainly, its red bones were too bewitching; Tang Mo warned himself in his heart to avoid touching it if possible.
Having chased Tang Mo and the others the whole way, the mountain rocks on the Lord of the Bone Mound had completely fallen off, revealing its entirely crimson skeleton, which was extremely eerie. Because of this, Tang Mo dared not touch it.
Outside the Poison Barrier, the sounds of fierce beasts struggling and roaring were constant. Inside the Corrosive Poison Barrier, one could only hear the pitter-patter of falling rain and the hissing sound of corrosion.
With the bonuses from his set of Supreme gear, the Corrosive Poison Barrier and Corrosive Rain not only had their grade increased to Rare, but their range had also expanded to 10 square kilometers.
10 square kilometers was more than enough to accommodate the Lord of the Bone Mound.
Tang Mo could easily dodge the Lord of the Bone Mound's attacks within this range and carry out counterattacks.
Boom, boom, boom~! The Lord of the Bone Mound, being kited by Tang Mo within the Corrosive Poison Barrier, no longer moved at high speed. The poison spirit dolls generated after those earlier explosions finally found their target for venting, exploding one after another beside the Lord of the Bone Mound.
However, to the Lord of the Bone Mound, this damage was practically the same as scratching an itch.
But the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Tang Mo. Even though the Lord of the Bone Mound was already within the area of the Domain of Poison, this Abyss Funeral surprisingly still hadn't stopped.
"Hehehe, are you very surprised why the Abyss Funeral was not affected? Why it didn't shut down?"
The Lord of the Bone Mound seemed to have seen through what Tang Mo was thinking and said with a sinister grin, "Because it is not a skill at all, but a rule!"
"A rule mastered by the Lord of the Abyss!"
"And I am the embodiment of this rule."
"Once it is activated, it will continue to execute. Unless you kill me and the entire Bone Abyss collapses, the Abyss Funeral will not stop."
"And in the end, you will all become my nourishment!"
"Hehehe..." After saying this, the Lord of the Bone Mound laughed triumphantly and wantonly.
