53: Chapter 53 Seeing Through But Not Saying It, Phantom Poisonous Salamander
High in the sky, the beautiful thorn flowers were constantly shattered under the impact of the ferocious Three-Eyed Thunder Eagles.
Tang Mo's figure also gradually revealed itself.
The Three-Eyed Thunder Eagles began to launch frantic attacks against Tang Mo.
But no matter how they attacked, they could not inflict the slightest damage on Tang Mo.
Instead, because they were too close and unable to dodge Tang Mo's Venomous Arrow, they were corroded with wound after wound on their bodies.
The toxins within their bodies were also constantly accumulating.
Even with over 900,000 HP, the Three-Eyed Thunder Eagles couldn't hold on for long.
In the dim sky, falling feathers flew about, and paired with the black Poison Rain as a backdrop, there was an inexplicable sense of desolation.
Tang Mo stood tall in the sky like a War God.
After two or three hours of skirmishing, the Three-Eyed Thunder Eagles in the air were finally all eliminated.
Tang Mo continued to collect the materials on the ground, while Fang Wenqian satisfiedly put away her filming equipment, "With the video as proof, they can't doubt me now."
By the time Tang Mo had finished collecting most of the materials on the ground, the sky had already darkened again.
Having traveled all day and experienced two fierce battles, Tang Mo's stamina was completely exhausted, forcing him to slow his pace once again.
Fang Wenqian took the initiative to take on the task of making dinner.
"Judging by your age, you must be a high school student, right?"
Tang Mo was slightly stunned. Looking at Fang Wenqian, her age should be about the same as his; could it be that she was already a university student?
Fang Wenqian was greatly surprised, "You really are just a high school student?!"
"That means you only recently changed classes?!"
Fang Wenqian's beautiful eyes widened, "Your class is too impressive. By the way! Which university do you plan to apply to?"
"Xiafu University."
Fang Wenqian nodded silently and said, "Yeah, I'm afraid only Xiafu University would catch your eye. By then, I'm afraid even the War God Academy would be fighting to have you."
Hearing Fang Wenqian's words, Tang Mo felt she seemed quite knowledgeable about Xiafu University, so he asked, "You wouldn't happen to be a student at Xiafu University, would you?"
"I am certainly not. Xiafu University is so perverted; even if you are a Legendary Class Professional, they won't easily accept you."
"And once you get into Xiafu University, you can only leave after graduation."
"I don't care for such a university at all."
Don't care for it? I'm afraid she just didn't get in. However, see through but don't expose; Tang Mo wouldn't expose someone's shortcomings in public; otherwise, he might not get to eat this dinner.
...
At dawn, Tang Mo got up and cast Realm of Death again, using three Highly Poisonous Skeletons as transport to continue exploring the secret realm.
As Tang Mo and Fang Wenqian continued forward, the smell of the swamp in the air became even thicker.
Fang Wenqian had to drink a bottle of antidote every so often to resist the poisonous fog in the swamp.
In the blink of an eye, another morning passed. The secret realm seemed endless, and Tang Mo's heart began to lose confidence.
His goal was to kill the secret realm BOSS and get a skill evolution scroll.
If he couldn't even encounter the BOSS, how could he talk about obtaining a skill evolution scroll?
It was said that there was a chance for it to drop in the secret realm. Tang Mo had traveled to this point, and the fighting had never stopped, yet he hadn't even seen a single skill evolution scroll.
He didn't know if his luck was bad or if that item only dropped from the BOSS.
Continuing forward, Tang Mo suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his back.
That feeling was as if someone was secretly watching him.
But after observing his surroundings, Tang Mo discovered nothing.
Logically speaking, within the Poison Barrier, everything should have nowhere to hide. Could it really be that he was overthinking it?
Tang Mo shook his head, deciding not to worry about it anymore, and continued walking forward; finding the secret realm BOSS early was the real priority.
After the Highly Poisonous Skeletons had walked far away, a pair of eyes suddenly grew on a small mound nearby. Then, the entire small mound began to move slowly and plunged into the swamp outside the forest.
Tang Mo frowned; he had already perceived the scene just now through the Poison Barrier.
He was certain that the thing just now should also be a ferocious beast in the secret realm, but why hadn't he discovered it just now?
And even the ferocious beast's attribute information hadn't been displayed.
Then the only possibility was that this ferocious beast possessed some kind of stealth or camouflage skill.
Thinking of this, Tang Mo began to cast Scouting Technique all around.
Scouting Technique was considered a relatively low-level spell, a spell that all classes could learn to use.
But it was the nemesis of stealth and camouflage skills.
After Tang Mo checked, he really did discover something amiss.
To the left of the Highly Poisonous Skeletons, what looked like a giant dead tree actually resembled the ferocious beast from before.
【Phantom Poison Salamander】
【Level: 29】
【Talent: Adaptability】
【Strength: 51290】
【Agility: 47050】
【Spirit: 64510】
【Stamina: 1000000】
【Skills: Camouflage (Lv29), Bite (Lv29), Corrosive Venom (Lv29), Toxin Immunity (Passive), Inedia (Passive)】
Tang Mo silently finished reading all the attributes of the Phantom Poison Salamander, and his heart was suddenly relieved.
Its Inedia passive actually allowed the Phantom Poison Salamander to survive for more than ten days without eating or drinking, and it didn't even matter if it didn't breathe for several hours.
"No wonder my Poison Barrier doesn't work on them."
After thinking it over, Tang Mo let the Highly Poisonous Skeletons stop, and then he began to use Highly Poisonous Vines to set up obstacles around the Highly Poisonous Skeletons.
Finally, he released the skill Poison Rain.
When the Poison Rain descended, Tang Mo commanded the Highly Poisonous Skeletons to brandish their giant weapons and hack at the Phantom Poison Salamander beside them.
That Phantom Poison Salamander was very cunning; it seemed to have already sensed the action of the Highly Poisonous Skeletons, and before the weapon could hack down, it slipped away in a flash.
Although this creature looked somewhat similar to the giant salamander of his previous life, its speed was much faster. In a flash, it disappeared without a trace.
But Tang Mo was certain that this guy hadn't run far.
In his Poison Barrier perception, it seemed not to have left this circle; it should have just cast its Camouflage skill and hidden again.
Tang Mo simply called Fang Wenqian, and the two of them started searching together using Scouting Technique.
This search was significant; in the swamp not far away, dense attribute entries suddenly appeared.
Tang Mo and the others had been surrounded by Phantom Poison Salamanders.
Even while in the Poison Rain and Poison Barrier, the HP of those Phantom Poison Salamanders still didn't decrease in the slightest. It seemed they had automatically started Inedia, which was why the Poison Barrier and Poison Rain couldn't harm them.
Subsequently, dozens of streams of black liquid sprayed out from the swamp, targeting the Highly Poisonous Skeletons and the two people, Tang Mo and Fang Wenqian, on the skeletons.
Tang Mo hurriedly gave the order to let the Highly Poisonous Skeleton carrying Fang Wenqian retreat first, while he himself manipulated the other Highly Poisonous Skeletons to block it behind him.
Venom or whatever could not cause damage to Tang Mo, but Fang Wenqian was different.
This was Tang Mo's client, and she still owed him a secret realm key; he couldn't let anything happen to Fang Wenqian.
