185: Chapter 184 [Shahlimnir]

Chapter 184 Sæhrímnir

In the secret realm of the Fenglei Mountain Range, several Armored Rock Boars standing dozens of meters tall were rampaging through the dense forest; if the trees in this forest weren't so massive, it would have been flattened by these Armored Rock Boars long ago.

Wind-Roaring Giant Apes were skillfully climbing among the giant trees one after another.

Writing up to here, I hope readers remember our domain name. To chase Taiwanese novels, go to Super Considerate.

Subsequently, one particularly mighty Wind-Roaring Giant Ape let out a high-pitched monkey cry: "Ooh-hoo~"

The remaining Wind-Roaring Giant Apes also roared loudly in succession, and for a time, the monkey cries of "Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo" were endless.

The secret realm of the Fenglei Mountain Range was already filled with wind and lightning elements; along with the howls of these Wind-Roaring Giant Apes, Sun Po distinctly felt that the surrounding wind was growing stronger and stronger.

The wind elements seemed to be gradually gathering towards the area where these Wind-Roaring Giant Apes were located.

The ground beneath the trees was now scarred and ravaged, looking as though it had been bombed. The destructive power displayed by these Armored Rock Boars was indeed quite astonishing; unfortunately, as Wuzhiqi said, although their spirituality was strong, their brains were bad. Even though powerful enemies gathered around and the wind elements in this area had become abnormally dense, the eyes of these Armored Rock Boars still bloomed with blood-red light, full of burning anger, as they crazily slammed against the giant trees where these Wind-Roaring Giant Apes were located.

Looking at the Armored Rock Boars under the tree and then at the tacitly cooperating Wind-Roaring Giant Apes on the surrounding giant trees, Sun Po couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that monsters from beyond the realm are not entirely determined by monster quality in everything. Take these Armored Rock Boars, for instance; although their spiritual fluctuations and destructive power far surpass those of the Wind-Roaring Giant Apes, they are utterly stupid. I'm afraid that even without me and Wuzhiqi here, these few wild boars would still be worn to death alive..."

Moreover, who knew why these few Armored Rock Boars grew so large and possessed such strong destructive power, yet had no ranged attack methods, or perhaps they originally had them, but were simply too irritable to know how to use them?

If it were any other monster, Sun Po certainly wouldn't think this way, but given the performance of these Armored Rock Boars, they might really pull off such mentally retarded operations.

In the brief gap while Sun Po was thinking, changes had occurred around them again. The Wind-Roaring Giant Apes had gathered a massive amount of wind elements around these still-furious boars, and these wind elements converged into a huge storm. At first, the Armored Rock Boars were unaffected; relying on their thick skins and heavy flesh, they still shuttled freely through it, continuing to vainly ram the trees in an attempt to attack the Wind-Roaring Giant Apes.

But as the monkey cries of the Wind-Roaring Giant Apes grew denser and more frequent, the power of the storm also grew stronger and its scale grew larger. The gigantic storm wrapped around thunder, emitting a deafening roar, and the height of the storm was almost reaching the water cloud that Wuzhiqi was riding on.

Although this storm of several hundred meters still looked like a tiny forest whirlwind among the giant trees, its power had reached a point that the Armored Rock Boars could no longer ignore.

Sun Po had originally thought that these red-eyed Armored Rock Boars would flee the area out of biological instinct, and he was even prepared to execute a Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Slash to liven things up.

But to Sun Po's surprise, these Armored Rock Boars could no longer be described as merely stupid; they simply didn't resemble normal creatures at all.

The Armored Rock Boars seemed to have lost even their normal biological instincts; their pain and fear also seemed to have been stripped away. Even though their stone-like skin was shattered inch by inch and turned into powder by the storm and thunder, even though these Armored Rock Boars were swept high into the air by the increasingly powerful storm and their flesh was thrown away, leaving only rock-like skeletons spinning around, Sun Po could still see that eerie blood-red light in their eye sockets.

Yet looking at his watch, Sun Po discovered that his own points were no longer zero.

Yes, Sun Po had already discovered this just when Wuzhiqi was standing foolishly with these Wind-Roaring Giant Apes earlier.

In the upper right corner of the watch he received from the Card Association, which could record and scan monster data, two numbers had appeared: one was "0", and the other was "133".

Sun Po had previously suspected whether these two numbers were the contestants' real-time points and real-time ranking, but after entering the secret realm, he encountered the Wind-Roaring Giant Apes, failed to kill a single monster, and couldn't determine it.

Now, as the few Armored Rock Boars in the storm were scraped into skeletons by the combination storm unleashed by the numerous Wind-Roaring Giant Apes, that number "0" finally began to grow.

"150 points? 300 points? 1050 points?!!"

Sun Po had anticipated that these Armored Rock Boars were stronger than the Wind-Roaring Giant Apes.

Because regardless of their size, spiritual fluctuations, or destructive power, the Armored Rock Boars far surpassed the Wind-Roaring Giant Apes. If it weren't for the fact that the trees in this Fenglei Mountain Range were excessively huge, and the Armored Rock Boars lacked intelligence and couldn't climb trees, these Wind-Roaring Giant Apes probably would have been smashed into meat paste long ago.

But these Armored Rock Boars were so foolish that Sun Po originally thought these fellows were at most monsters that had just entered the orange grade, and their calculated points would probably be the lowest tier of 50 points.

What Sun Po didn't expect was that each of these Armored Rock Boars was actually worth 150 points; it seemed they weren't the weakest among orange monsters?

For a mentally disabled-like monster, even if it reached the spirituality and destructive power of orange quality, why on earth weren't they the weakest?

But Sun Po soon found out why these Armored Rock Boars were not the weakest.

Wuzhiqi's voice resounded in Sun Po's mind: "Master, I didn't expect that the Howling Wind skills of these Wind-Roaring Giant Apes could stack. In this environment extremely abundant in wind elements, the power actually managed to break through the defense of these Armored Rock Boars, which is truly extraordinary. However, the storm generated after the stacking of this Howling Wind skill is about to cease, and these Wind-Roaring Giant Apes are also exhausted. Next, it's time for us to make a move."

Sun Po was somewhat puzzled and just about to speak when he saw an extremely astonishing scene.

He saw that the storm in the dense forest was gradually subsiding, and several huge boar skeletons were cast down from the air onto the ground.

On the surface of those skeletons, there were only textures resembling cracked stones, without a shred of flesh, let alone any muscles that could pull the skeletons, yet those skeletons were moving eerily.

Not only were they moving, they were even running, sprinting wildly, running with earth-shaking momentum, and their might was not a bit weaker than when their bodies were intact earlier.

Blood-red beams of light still shot out from the eye sockets of those stark-white boar skulls, even though there were no longer any eyeballs inside their eye sockets.

Thus, after the gigantic storm of the Wind-Roaring Giant Apes, although the Armored Rock Boars had become exceptionally skeletal, they still possessed attack capabilities, and compared to their lifetime, it hadn't decreased at all.

Sun Po's eyelids twitched as he looked at Wuzhiqi, wanting to ask what was going on.

Yet Wuzhiqi also wore a solemn expression at the moment, with his six ears twitching, not knowing what he was listening to.

Immediately, Wuzhiqi said: "Master, these Armored Rock Boars are just like this. As long as the anger in their hearts has not dissipated, these things must continue attacking even if they are smashed to pieces."

Sun Po was speechless; what on earth was this?

Barbarian King popped his ultimate? Endless Rage?

Could it be that these few Armored Rock Boars, despite having undeveloped intelligence, possessed such powerful traits?

Without a doubt, these few Armored Rock Boars were already dead, after all, the points had already been credited, and furthermore, these Armored Rock Boars had been whittled down until not a shred of flesh remained; how could there be any trace of life left?

Yet these fellows stubbornly refused to stop attacking even in death, which was truly giving people a headache.

Wuzhiqi also said somewhat fretfully: "As long as the anger doesn't dissipate, the attacks of these Armored Rock Boars will not cease. But right now I can't hear anything or any way to eliminate the anger of these Armored Rock Boars. In that case, wouldn't we only be able to stay in the sky or atop the giant trees and never be able to land? As long as we land, we'll be continuously rammed by these few Armored Rock Boars?"

After releasing such a powerful combined ultimate skill, those Wind-Roaring Giant Apes were currently recovering their stamina in the trees.

Looking at the skeletal giant boars under the tree whose eyes were still shining with blood-red light, Sun Po pondered inwardly and thought:

"These things run back and forth entirely relying on their thick skins, heavy flesh, and undying traits; they haven't displayed other skills themselves. Even the Wind-Roaring Giant Apes, whose spirituality and destructive power are far weaker than theirs, were able to surround and kill them with the help of this mysterious giant tree. However, the destructive power and charging speed they display are still very strong in all aspects. Except for the mysterious giant tree in this forest, I'm afraid nothing on the ground can withstand their impact."

Sun Po suddenly got an idea; he turned his head and asked Wuzhiqi: "Wuzhiqi, if these few Armored Rock Boars charge at you, how many ways do you have to kill them?"

Wuzhiqi seemed to stun for a moment, and the cyan water-ripple halo behind his head fluctuated, before saying: "Master, these idiots can be obliterated between the raise of a hand and the drop of a foot. Although they count as thick-skinned among orange-quality monsters, they can never smash through my divine body. Their strength is also considered not bad, but even though I am not a deity specializing in physical strength, a single hand is enough to withstand a fully sprinting Armored Rock Boar. If I use the Ren Water Divine Power, these stupid pigs will be blown away and shattered in a breath."

Such a result was not beyond Sun Po's expectations. Wuzhiqi had inherently inherited the divine position of the Water God of Huai River from ancient times, was naturally gifted, possessed the legacy of two of the legendary Four Mischievous Monkeys of the World, and moreover, at the time of ascending to the divine position, he had already attained a portion of the Dao Fruit of Water. Furthermore, upon first ascending to the divine position, he mastered the formidable Ren Water Divine Power, possessing an incomparably solid foundation to begin with. Not to mention that Wuzhiqi had transcendent comprehension, possessed countless skills, and his application of Water Control was even more superb at this moment.

Furthermore, the chasm between orange quality and golden quality could no longer even be resolved by mere numbers.

For such a formidable Wuzhiqi, if it were said that he couldn't cleanly and neatly obliterate just these few orange-quality Armored Rock Boars, that would be a huge joke.

However, the main point of Sun Po's concern wasn't whether Wuzhiqi could obliterate these Armored Rock Boars.

He continued to ask: "Then do you have a way to control these Armored Rock Boars?"

Wuzhiqi frowned; control and obliteration were completely different orders of magnitude in terms of difficulty.

If the difficulty of obliteration was 1, the difficulty of control was at least 5, or even 10.

Yet the gap between these Armored Rock Boars and Wuzhiqi was too vast. After a brief thought, Wuzhiqi's golden pupils suddenly lit up, and he said: "Master is truly wise. Turning trouble into assistance, this is indeed a brilliant move. Controlling these few Armored Rock Boars is a piece of cake for me."

Sun Po's heart also rejoiced; since Wuzhiqi had no problem with it, this method could be considered feasible. He hadn't expected that farming points could yield an unexpected pleasant surprise.

Moreover, Wuzhiqi truly lived up to his transcendent comprehension. Sun Po had merely mentioned it, and Wuzhiqi immediately grasped the meaning, instantly understanding Sun Po's intentions.

Yet at this moment, all the viewers watching outside the arena had already boiled over.

"Did you see that? The big monkeys helping Sun Po literally scraped that mountain-like wild boar alive, yet those wild boars can still jump around lively. Is this those legendary undead monsters from the West?"

Someone in the crowd immediately responded to him: "It absolutely cannot be an undead monster. This big wild boar has skin all over like cracked stones. Did you see the faint earth-yellow mist around the monster's body? That is the earth element rich to the extreme; that earth element is already rich enough to rival elemental creatures. How could there be a shred of deathly aura in it? If you say such a monster is an elemental creature, I'd believe it, but to say it's an undead creature? Absolutely impossible."

Meanwhile, in Shangjing City, the Central Laboratory.

Professor Zhou Gongdan adjusted his thick black-framed glasses and instructed the assistant beside him: "Enlarge it! Magnify Sun Po's screen for me and display it separately!!"

The assistant wearing a white lab coat beside him pressed buttons on the console, and Sun Po's screen instantly turned into a three-dimensional projection, almost filling the entire laboratory.

Those skeletal Armored Rock Boars also clearly appeared before the eyes of everyone in the laboratory.

Beneath Professor Zhou Gongdan's thick glasses, his eyes shone with uncontrollable excitement.

"Pause!!"

The assistant hurriedly complied. Professor Zhou Gongdan stood up, walked forward slowly, approached the three-dimensional projection of the huge Armored Rock Boar, stared intently at the bizarre bones resembling cracked rock, pulled out a seemingly extremely ordinary black-handled magnifying glass from his bosom, and observed carefully.

Inside the entire Central Laboratory, everyone was quiet, fearing they would disturb this chief professor.

After a long time, Professor Zhou Gongdan was heard muttering two words to himself, with a tone of doubt: "Runes?"

At the same moment, in the Northern Ice Bear Kingdom, inside a huge laboratory.

Sun Po's battle screen was likewise magnified to the maximum via three-dimensional projection. Many Northern people wearing white lab coats surrounded the projected wild boar and were hotly discussing something.

An old dwarf with a big beard and a bulbous nose was holding a wooden beer mug, draped in a small white lab coat. He sat on the nearest experimental bench, took a big gulp of the beer in his cup, his eyes slightly narrowing, and his red, bulbous nose twitching.

——

"Achoo!!~ Brrr-up"

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on this alcoholic-like old dwarf, their eyes full of respect.

The old dwarf rubbed his nose, tipped the mug, saw there was no more beer, smacked his lips, raised his head, and shouted loudly: "My runes have already told me the answer."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the old dwarf's next words.

However, after waiting for a long time without hearing anything, they instead heard a series of snoring sounds. The people in the laboratory didn't dare to make a sound; instead, it became even quieter, with everyone seeming to lean in and listen intently to something. A moment later, the old dwarf smacked his lips and spat out words from his mouth:
