48: Chapter 48 The Ferocious Beast Awakens Its Bloodline
After failing its first strike, the Poison Thunder Eel leaped directly into the swamp.
Then, Tang Mo saw electric light beginning to flicker within the swamp beside him; like a chain reaction, the surrounding swamp also began to shimmer with electricity.
"This is... Is this attracting the attention of other Poison Thunder Eels in the swamp?"
Fang Wenqian was quite frightened; she had clearly seen the attributes of the Poison Thunder Eel just now, which far exceeded any dungeon boss or ferocious beast she had ever encountered.
Tang Mo's expression also became very grave; he clearly saw that the Poison Thunder Eel had already awakened its Talent.
This was an ability that only bloodline-awakened ferocious beasts possessed!
"It seems that the ferocious beasts in the Purgatory-grade secret realm are all bloodline-awakened beasts that possess Talents. No wonder everyone dares not challenge Purgatory-grade secret realms casually."
Facing the lightning filling the swamp, Tang Mo did not dare to be careless and immediately summoned three Highly Poisonous Skeletons to block in front of Fang Wenqian.
At the same time, he released his Hallucinogenic Gas at full power, shrouding the surrounding swamp completely.
"Just take care of yourself later; don't worry about me, do you hear me?"
Although the level of these Poison Thunder Eels was not 10 levels higher than Tang Mo's, they had a passive skill for poison immunity, and Tang Mo did not know if the Hallucinogenic Gas would have any effect on them.
However, Tang Mo was still very confident in his Highly Poisonous Skeletons.
Even if the Poison Thunder Eels could immunize themselves against physical poison damage, they could not immunize themselves against soul damage.
As for Tang Mo, the skills of these Poison Thunder Eels were just ordinary magic damage, unable to cause him effective harm.
Currently, the person Tang Mo was most worried about in the team was Fang Wenqian; as long as she could protect herself, Tang Mo could deal with these Poison Thunder Eels without any scruples.
Killing them was only a matter of time.
The giant skeleton that suddenly appeared before her gave Fang Wenqian a big fright, but fortunately, she quickly realized it was Tang Mo's skill, which put her slightly at ease.
However, hearing Tang Mo say not to worry about him made Fang Wenqian feel very uncomfortable.
They were clearly teammates, so why did it feel like she was the one holding him back?
She was, after all, a Legendary-grade Professional, and a very strong one at that.
Although she had acted a bit nervous just now, for a girl, wasn't it normal to have a smaller heart?
To prove herself, Fang Wenqian directly blasted a Holy Sanction at the nearby swamp.
With a "boom," the mud in the swamp was instantly blasted everywhere, but the muddy water quickly filled in the crater that had just been blown open.
Splash~ Splash~ Splash~ ...
Several huge black shadows leaped out from the swamp one after another, rushing toward Tang Mo and the giant skeletons.
The Hallucinogenic Gas was indeed ineffective!
Tang Mo waved his hands again, and dozens of Venomous Arrows shot straight toward the heads of the Poison Thunder Eels.
The Highly Poisonous Skeleton soldiers also brandished their weapons and hacked at the bodies of the Poison Thunder Eels.
The Venomous Arrows successfully corroded the mucus on the Poison Thunder Eels; without the protection of scales, the Poison Thunder Eels were quickly invaded by the poison, and the direct attacks on their souls left them completely unable to parry, causing their HP to drop rapidly.
The Poison Thunder Eel that had been slashed by the giant skeleton was also not having a good time.
Although the weapons were condensed from poison, they were incredibly sharp, slicing through the Poison Thunder Eel's protective mucus in one stroke and leaving a deep wound on its back.
The poison began to seep into its body through the wound.
The Highly Toxic Domain had already been activated by Tang Mo, and at this moment, the Poison Thunder Eels' HP was dropping at three times Tang Mo's poison damage rate.
Fang Wenqian's beautiful eyes widened; this was the first time she had seen such high damage.
Infected by the atmosphere, Fang Wenqian reached out and blasted a Holy Baptism directly at a Poison Thunder Eel, but as a result, the Poison Thunder Eel was completely unfazed, its health bar not even moving.
The Poison Thunder Eel's defense wasn't broken, but Fang Wenqian was mentally broken; her Legendary-grade skill hadn't even broken its defense.
The attacked Poison Thunder Eel immediately unleashed a 100,000 Volts attack toward Fang Wenqian.
Fang Wenqian hurriedly cast Holy Protection on herself, and a transparent light screen instantly enveloped her.
The lightning arrived in an instant; in one clash, Fang Wenqian's Holy Protection was shattered, but fortunately, it had blocked the attack.
Fang Wenqian, looking shocked, hurriedly hid behind the Highly Poisonous Skeleton soldier, not daring to act rashly again.
As more and more Poison Thunder Eels leaped out of the water to attack Tang Mo, Tang Mo was also busy dealing with them.
Although the cooldown for the Highly Poisonous Skeleton is ten minutes, the Highly Poisonous Skeletons from two separate summons cannot coexist.
That is to say, if Tang Mo summons the Highly Poisonous Skeleton again, the previously summoned Highly Poisonous Skeleton will disappear.
Otherwise, Tang Mo could have saved up a few more to clear the secret realm.
The attributes of the Highly Poisonous Skeleton are calculated based on 200% of Tang Mo's Spirit stat; each attribute value has reached over 6000, and especially the inheritance of Tang Mo's poison damage gives them unrivaled combat power.
Now, Tang Mo can only rely on himself and the three Highly Poisonous Skeletons to fight.
Fortunately, after reaching max level, Venomous Arrow can fire more than 20 arrows at once, and the cooldown is only a short 2 seconds.
It is perfect for attacking those Poison Thunder Eels leaping out of the swamp.
Just like that, Tang Mo manipulated the Highly Poisonous Vines with one hand while releasing Venomous Arrows.
Those Poison Thunder Eels that had sustained wounds were further invaded by the poison in the Poison Barrier; the poison stacks on many of the Poison Thunder Eels began to accumulate crazily, and soon, death notification sounds appeared.
[Killed Level 22 Poison Thunder Eel, EXP +92103, Poison Damage +1, Stamina +1, Spirit +0.1]
[Obtained Lightning Bone Fat *1]
[Killed Level 22 Poison Thunder Eel, EXP +92103, Poison Damage +1, Stamina +1, Spirit +0.1]
[Obtained Venomous Mucus *1]
...
From engaging the Poison Thunder Eels to killing them, the entire process took less than ten seconds.
Fang Wenqian was so shocked that her little mouth couldn't close.
No wonder he was confident enough to enter the Purgatory-grade secret realm; he was a true big shot!
Fang Wenqian silently put away the teleportation scroll in her hand; with this big shot around, she probably didn't need to worry about anything.
All she could do was cheer for the big shot and keep herself hidden.
Fang Wenqian very consciously defined herself in the position of a hanger-on.
Spending nearly two and a half hours, Tang Mo finally cleared the Poison Thunder Eels in the nearby swamp.
Having obtained a large pile of materials, Tang Mo was not polite and took them all directly.
Regarding this, Fang Wenqian naturally had no objections; she had only come to the secret realm to gain experience, and these materials didn't mean much to her.
If she went back and told her family that she had cleared a Purgatory-grade secret realm, it would surely drop their jaws.
While replenishing his water, Tang Mo did not forget to remind Fang Wenqian, "Rest for a bit, then we continue forward. Remember to replenish your antidote."
