276: Earth Elemental Lord

Wang Chen was very confident in his perception.

In his opinion, the feeling of being spied on just now was definitely not a mistake in his perception.

Therefore, after the search yielded no results, he directly motioned for everyone to continue moving.

"The situation here is a bit special, so you all need to be more vigilant from now on."

"If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to look after you."

While on the move, Wang Chen instructed Wei Ping and Zhao Wuyang.

"Boss Wang Chen, you don't need to be so serious."

"You won't truly die in the Secret Realm, so relax!"

Upon hearing him, Wei Ping and Zhao Wuyang nodded, but a girl in the team spoke with a somewhat indifferent tone.

Her words represented the attitude of some people.

Although everything in the Secret Realm and Secret Realm Dungeon felt as Real as the outside world, the rule that one would not die affected the mindset of many Awakeners.

If one were to observe a few Awakeners entering a Secret Realm Dungeon, they would find that many acted bolder and more aggressive inside than they would outside.

"Heh..."

Hearing the girl's words, Wang Chen shook his head slightly without speaking.

In his opinion, a Awakener should never lessen their vigilance, no matter the circumstances; they shouldn't relax just because they wouldn't die.

If this continued, the Awakener's vigilance would inevitably decrease, and if they carried that into the Real world, they wouldn't even know how they died.

However...

He was too lazy to comment on the girl's attitude.

For a moment, seeing that Wang Chen didn't respond, the girl pouted unhappily, and the atmosphere in the team became somewhat silent.

Soon.

After a silent journey, the view ahead suddenly widened, and everyone arrived in a huge cave with a radius of over a hundred meters.

Although there was no light source in this cave, it wasn't dark at all; the faint red glow emanating from the rock walls illuminated every dark corner.

Looking around, one could instantly take in the full view of the cave.

"Something's not right!"

After observing the cave, the expressions on Wang Chen and the others' faces became somewhat solemn.

The cave only had the one entrance they came through; all other areas were rock walls of immeasurable thickness, and the same applied to the ceiling.

This raised a problem: the cave was empty, so where was the Boss?

"What's going on?"

"There are no other exits here. Is the Boss hiding underground?"

Wei Ping knocked on the thick rock wall and turned to look at Wang Chen.

"Congratulations, you guessed correctly!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen, who felt waves of fluctuations coming from deep underground, tightened his grip on the longsword in his hand.

"Huh?"

Wei Ping looked bewildered upon hearing this.

"Prepare for battle!"

However, Wang Chen didn't bother to explain to him, calling out to everyone and directly locking his gaze on the center of the cave.

The next second, everyone understood why Wang Chen was so serious.

Rumble.

Violent vibrations occurred, and the ground in the center of the cave instantly collapsed and cracked, forming a large pit.

Immediately after, a giant creature ten meters tall leaped out of the pit.

Thud!

Upon landing, its feet created two deep imprints on the ground.

Whoosh!!

A gust of wind blew, dispersing the dust in the cave, and the appearance of the giant creature emerged before everyone's eyes.

This was a super-sized version of a Small Earth Elemental Giant, ten meters tall like a small mountain, with a terrifying metallic luster on its body and two huge crimson eyes almost the size of basketballs.

"Roar, roar, roar!!"

As soon as it landed, this giant creature let out a furious roar, and instantly, a terrifying Aura spread from its body, firmly locking onto Wang Chen and the others present.

"This guy looks much tougher than a Small Earth Elemental Giant!"

Upon seeing this monster, Wei Ping, Zhao Wuyang, and the others couldn't help but show a hint of shock in their eyes.

The Aura emanating from this monster gave them an extremely dangerous feeling; compared to the Small Earth Elemental Giant they encountered, it was several times stronger.

However, compared to them, Wang Chen's expression remained unchanged.

When this giant creature appeared, he didn't hesitate at all and directly cast a probing spell.

"Monster: Earth Elemental Lord (Boss)."

"Rank: One hundred and twenty."

"Combat Style: Melee."

"Skills: Gigantic Charge, Gigantic Grapple, Strength Burst, Great Earth Shatter..."

"Type: Mutated."

...

Seeing the Earth Elemental Lord's attribute information, a hint of surprise flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

This monster's strength was even greater than he had previously imagined.

Among other things, under the probing spell, its skills were not fully detected.

"Get ready, this big guy isn't easy to deal with!"

Reminding Wei Ping and Zhao Wuyang behind him, Wang Chen stared at the Earth Elemental Lord opposite him with a solemn expression.

"Roar, roar, roar!!"

At the same time, the Earth Elemental Lord looked at the tiny creatures in front of it and let out an extremely terrifying roar, the turbulent Qi surging, causing the entire cave to hum and vibrate.

The next second, the Earth Elemental Lord moved, appearing suddenly in front of Wang Chen and the others with a speed completely inconsistent with its size.

Boom!

The Earth Elemental Lord's huge fist smashed down violently, its Aura like a speeding train, unstoppable.

"Disperse and harass with ranged attacks!"

"I'll tie it down!"

Feeling the Earth Elemental Lord's furious Aura, a hint of Battle Intent flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

He roared, and without hesitation, he also swung his sword, meeting the fist that was larger than his entire body.

Bang!

The next second, a violent collision sound erupted, and a furious wave of Qi exploded in the cave.

Immediately after, Wang Chen's figure was sent flying backward, his feet plowing two furrows on the ground.

"Damn it!"

After stopping, Wang Chen shook his numb arm and looked at the Earth Elemental Lord opposite him with some helplessness.

This guy was too big; even if their strengths were similar, its massive size gave it an advantage.

Moreover...

The Earth Elemental Lord's body was several times harder than a Small Earth Elemental Giant.

During the collision, the Star-Ranked Armor Piercing Longsword only left a twenty-centimeter deep wound on its huge fist.

This wound would be incredibly exaggerated if it were on a human, but for the enormous Earth Elemental Lord, which didn't even have blood, it was almost no different from a mere scratch.

"Holy crap!"

"Is this big guy that fierce?!"

On the other side, seeing Wang Chen repelled, Wei Ping, Zhao Wuyang, and the others were all shocked.

Having come all this way, Wang Chen had crushed everything with his formidable strength; this was the first time he had encountered an equally matched opponent.

"Damn, if I took that punch, I'd probably be flattened into a pancake?!"

Wei Ping sighed in his heart, feeling a pang of fear as he retracted the door-sized greatsword in his hand.
