26: hunting!

“Deep Sea Thunder Eel... C-Rank Skill, Lightning Control!”

Su Chen's breathing suddenly became rapid,

clearly,

this big fellow below was enough for him to awaken a new Lightning-type Talent!

However,

although Su Chen's heart was burning with excitement,

he did not act rashly,

because,

this Abyss Lehman's Realm was surprisingly as high as Rank 42,

especially its Agility Attribute,

had reached a terrifying 2,000 points.

Su Chen's ten tentacles swayed slightly,

trying his best to control his body and slowly approach the Abyss Lehman,

“I absolutely cannot startle this guy. Its agility is a full 600 points higher than mine. If it decides to run, I won't be able to catch up even if I rode a horse...”

Su Chen controlled his breathing, like the most patient hunter,

utilizing the complex terrain of the trench and the noise generated by the boiling currents,

slowly, bit by bit, descending from the shadow above.

“As long as I can get close enough, I can rely on my immense strength to control it and then crush it!”

“Good baby... don't look up... keep absorbing... absorb more...”

On the edge of this hell, where magma churned in the ten-thousand-meter abyss,

a deadly hunt between giant beasts silently unfolded in absolute silence.

A Kraken over 190 meters long,

was casting the shadow of death,

slowly enveloping the 212-meter Deep Sea Thunder Dragon, which was immersed in energy absorption.

At this moment,

Vulcanus coiled above the Magma River, its dark purple scales greedily sucking up the violent electric currents spewing from the Earth Core,

emitting a faint “zzz zzz” sound.

Its massive body slightly undulated, its heart filled with anticipation:

Soon... Master will arrive soon... It had already investigated everything here,

just waiting for Master to come so it could try to help Master lift the Curse on his body.

Buzz—!

A bone-chilling sense of danger struck like a steel needle!

Wrong!

Something is overhead!!

Vulcanus's massive head instantly lifted,

its three spectral blue vertical pupils suddenly contracted!

It saw that less than a hundred meters above,

the eternal darkness was being ripped apart by an even larger shadow—ten pitch-black tentacles covered in savage Bone Spurs,

like the hangman's noose of death, were silently descending!

A strange octopus it had never seen before!

“Roar—!”

When Su Chen saw that he had been discovered,

a fierce ruthlessness flashed in his eyes,

without any hesitation!

One tentacle, covered in keratin and Bone Spurs, shot out like a black cannonball, tearing through the viscous seawater with a terrifying sound of rushing air, fiercely wrapping around the middle section of Vulcanus's thick eel body!

Big Long Worm!

I got you!!!

Vulcanus felt the tentacle wrapped around its body and the aura of the attacker. A flicker of shock crossed its vertical pupils,

immediately replaced by overwhelming disdain and fury!

A mere Rank 4 hatchling!

How dare it attack me, a Rank 42?!

It must be tired of living!

Just as well,

absorbing the Earth Core Energy has been quite boring lately,

so I might as well eat an octopus for a change of pace.

The next moment,

its massive body twisted violently!

Dark purple muscle fibers bulged like steel cables, and 1,200 points of strength erupted without reservation!

It intended to easily tear off the suicidal octopus tentacle, like snapping a piece of aquatic grass!

After all, that octopus was only Rank 4,

its strength would be at most one or two hundred points. Compared to itself,

the difference was like heaven and earth!

However,

as Vulcanus exerted its strength,

Crack—!

The anticipated sound of the tentacle snapping did not come!

Instead, there was a dull thud that set teeth on edge, as if metal were being forcibly bent!

The tentacle wrapped around it did not break; instead, like a red-hot iron hoop, it suddenly tightened!

A terrifying, overwhelming force, far exceeding its imagination, crushed down!

“Hiss-Oong—?!”

Vulcanus let out an agonizing, disbelieving shriek,

horrified in its heart,

How could this be?!

At this moment,

Su Chen watched the Deep Sea Thunder Eel swinging its body, attempting to struggle free, and sneered inwardly,

Heh heh,

if you had noticed sooner and run away earlier, I really wouldn't have had many options against you,

but,

now that you've been captured by me,

there is only one outcome—to become the nourishment for my evolution!

Following the roar in Su Chen's heart,

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!... The remaining nine tentacles moved!

Like nine tails of a Demonic Dragon reaching out from the depths of hell!

With a shriek that tore through the water, they instantly arrived to strangle the target!

One wrapped around the neck below the head!

Two tightly constricted its writhing long tail!

The remaining six, like the deadliest pythons, frantically wrapped and constricted along its body!

Binding its two-hundred-meter-long body, from head to tail, into a massive, constantly tightening “Black Zongzi”!

Creak! Creak! Snap!

The scalp-numbing crackle of bones and the dull thud of muscle fibers being forcibly ripped apart exploded like dense firecrackers in the deep sea!

Vulcanus's tough scales groaned, deformed, and shattered under the absolute crushing force of 1,900 points of strength!

Excruciating pain impacted its nerves like a tsunami!

Vulcanus's massive vertical pupils instantly widened!

Its heart was filled with extreme disbelief and unspeakable shock,

1,900 points of Strength!!!

This octopus, merely Rank 4,

actually had 1,900 points of strength!

That's ridiculously outrageous!

I went through immense hardship to evolve to Rank 42,

and my current Strength is only slightly over 1,200 points,

He's only Rank 4 and already stronger than me???

What will happen when he reaches Rank 42?

Won't he just become a god?!

Although it was horrified inside,

however,

the immense crushing and suffocating feeling on its body told Vulcanus,

that it had to find a way to break free from the restraints,

otherwise,

it truly might die at the hands of this mere Rank 4 “hatchling”!

Thinking of this,

a desperate, vicious light erupted from Vulcanus's vertical pupils!

Zzzzz—Boom!!!

C-Rank Skill—Superconductive Lightning Field, fully activated!

Centered on Vulcanus, the seawater within a radius of several hundred meters was instantly illuminated!

Blinding blue-white electric light exploded and leaped like billions of raging venomous snakes!

The seawater was instantly electrolyzed by the terrifying high-voltage current!

Highly toxic chlorine gas hissed out! Flammable and explosive hydrogen gas was rapidly generated!

This sea area instantly transformed into a hellish furnace filled with deadly electric arcs, toxic gas, and explosives!

Ugh ahhh—!!!

Su Chen's massive body suddenly stiffened!

The ten tentacles wrapped around the target instantly became the best conductors!

Ultra-high voltage current, enough to instantly vaporize steel, poured into his body without obstruction!

His pitch-black body surface instantly became scorched!

The huge suction cups burst!

The tough keratin layer carbonized and peeled off!

A pungent burnt smell mixed with the scent of scorched protein spread throughout the water!

Raging electrical energy rampaged through his nervous system, bringing soul-tearing agony and paralysis!

His massive eyeballs rolled wildly upward, nearly popping out of their sockets!

Su Chen subconsciously wanted to follow his body's instinct,

to release the tentacles,

and reduce the electric shock.
