136: Zutalus, the Thunder Dragon

"This energy membrane was actually left by our Hobbit Clan ancestors to protect the golden splendor dragon egg."

Before Huang Chen could respond, Shu Fei Ma Suo recalled, "Including the boss inside, it was also sealed there by our ancestors."

"Thunder Sub-Dragons are Earth Element Users, and Earth Element Users generate Metal Element Users, so the golden splendor dragon egg can receive the maximum nourishment in this environment."

"And quietly opening this energy membrane is very simple; as long as the dragon vein concentration within our clan reaches 80%, we can open it through a secret method."

"And I... my dragon vein concentration has already reached 90%. As long as you give me divine dragon essence blood, I can break through to 100% in one go, thereby leading our entire clan to a life leap to the level of the High Martial World."

After Shu Fei Ma Suo finished speaking in one breath, she looked at Huang Chen expectantly.

"Open it!"

Huang Chen smiled lightly, lifted Shu Fei Ma Suo's chin, and said, "The essence... blood I promised you, I will give it all to you!"

After receiving Huang Chen's affirmation, Shu Fei Ma Suo looked at the "energy membrane" again, but just as her hand was about to press on it, Huang Chen suddenly spoke, "Wait a moment, I'll go back and gather some people."

With that, his figure vanished in a flash.

In less than half a second, dozens of white lights flashed, and Huang Chen, Xie Chunyan, and All the women appeared before the Dragon Burial Abyss gate.

"Alright!"

Huang Chen nodded to Shu Fei Ma Suo.

He hadn't encountered a level 70 Epic boss in his previous life, so he still felt it was safer to bring more than 30 hangers-on.

Among other things, his attack power combined with the Northern Darkness Aura would at least make him invincible in a direct confrontation with the boss.

Shu Fei Ma Suo carefully placed her hand on the "energy membrane."

A sharp Metal Element Users flash passed between her palms, and blood immediately flowed from the wound onto the "energy membrane."

The moment the blood touched the "energy membrane," it was like hot lava dripping onto a wax block.

The "energy membrane" immediately began to dissolve outwards from Shu Fei Ma Suo's palm.

Before long, a circular opening with a two-meter radius appeared.

Suddenly, a strong suction force seemed to emanate from the opening in the energy membrane.

"Hurry in!"

Shu Fei Ma Suo cried out, and then she was directly sucked into the opening, flying.

"Go!"

Seeing this, Huang Chen no longer hesitated. The group followed Shu Fei Ma Suo's figure and all rushed into the Dragon Burial Abyss.

After a dizzying spin, Huang Chen found that they had arrived in a special space.

He sensed it, Jinling City was no longer within the teleportation range, and the return scroll couldn't be used.

Looking up, it was a circular basin.

As far as the eye could see, there were dense Dragon Tombs as high as small mountains.

In the center of the basin stood a stone pillar carved with dragons.

Under the stone pillar, a huge golden chain locked a giant dragon with closed eyes and electric arcs all over its body.

The electric arcs seemed to be drawn by the chain, continuously detaching from the giant dragon and entering the golden dragon egg on the altar behind the stone pillar.

"This is the golden splendor dragon egg!"

Shu Fei Ma Suo pointed at the giant egg, her voice trembling slightly.

Huang Chen glanced at the dragon egg, then turned his gaze to the giant dragon.

This was a Western giant dragon with fleshy wings, over ten meters tall, and several times larger than an elite Wyvern.

All the women swallowed, forcibly suppressing their fear, and directly cast a Detection skill on the giant dragon.

[Ancestor of the Thunder Sub-Dragon - Talos lv80 (Earth Element Users) Rank: Epic Boss]

"It's actually an 80th-level Epic boss!"

Huang Chen frowned slightly.

He had always thought that the boss corresponding to a level 70 Epic monster territory would be a level 70 Epic boss.

He didn't expect the Wyvern territory's boss to be level 80.

This makes things a bit difficult!

The template for an 80th-level Epic boss was already very close to the Saint-level, with every move capable of destroying heaven and earth.

He wasn't worried about not being able to defeat it, after all, the opponent was only level 80.

However, Huang Chen was concerned if the opponent possessed super large-area attack skills, whether All the women could withstand them.

As Huang Chen hesitated, Shu Fei Ma Suo silently watched the Thunder Sub-Dragon and introduced:

"Wyvern Talos, a powerful creature from a different universe, inherently ferocious. During the war between the Hongmeng Universe and the different universe, it led its clan to invade our Source Universe... slaughtering dozens of races in the Source Universe... Later, it was suppressed by our ancestors and sent into the Star Abyss by a Royal Family Grandmaster as a trial monster... trapped here for tens of millions of years... Although it is an 80th-level Epic monster, it has been suppressed by the Dragon-Holding Pillar for many years, and its strength is now less than one-tenth of what it once was, probably comparable to a 70th-level Epic boss..."

"However, even though its strength has decreased, its drop rate is genuinely that of an 80th-level Epic boss."

After hearing Shu Fei Ma Suo's introduction, Huang Chen was both surprised and delighted.

The surprise was that this Talos, like Demon General Sa Ning, came from a different universe.

In this life, due to his different standing, many things he hadn't encountered in his previous life were slowly appearing before Huang Chen.

He originally thought that the trial of countless races was grand and vast enough.

But now he realized that compared to the Source Universe, the trial was like child's play.

The joy was that this level 80 boss only had level 70 strength, but it would drop level 80 Epic items.

One must know that the later the level, the greater the gap in strength, and the greater the difference in equipment attributes.

How could he not be delighted to gain level 80 items by fighting a level 70 opponent?

"You all wait here, I'll go test its power."

After Huang Chen spoke, he slowly walked towards Talos.

"Roar!"

When Huang Chen was about a hundred meters from Talos, Talos suddenly opened its two lantern-sized eyes and let out a sharp, excited roar.

Since being suppressed here by that old scoundrel of the Hobbit Clan, it hadn't eaten flesh and blood for tens of millions of years.

And under the suppression of the Dragon-Holding Pillar, its attacks could only reach about a thousand meters around it.

It had been waiting, waiting for these people to get close so it could kill them all in one fell swoop and enjoy a good meal.

Unfortunately, after waiting and waiting, only one person came.

Although small, the alluring scent emanating from it was more tempting than anyone it had ever eaten before.

Thinking of this, Talos eagerly bared a mouthful of cold white teeth, and foul-smelling saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth.

The instant Talos roared, Huang Chen cast Soul Severing Stab, and his figure rushed forward like lightning.

Seeing this, Talos excitedly opened its mouth wide, aiming at the direction Huang Chen was coming from. It even retracted the electric arcs on its body, fearing that it would cook this delicious food and affect the taste.

However... halfway through his charge, Huang Chen suddenly teleported, appearing behind Talos, and slapped repeatedly with his palms.

"Poison Sand Palm!" ×4

-2.01 million

-450,000

-450,000

-2.01 million

-900,000

-900,000

...Four palms in one second, a series of health deduction prompts floated above Talos's head.

Talos, caught off guard, was furious.

Without the protection of its electric armor, Huang Chen's single move could directly deplete nearly five million of its health.

"Roar!"

A huge roar erupted from Talos's mouth, then converged into an electric net that covered all five hundred meters around it.

"Golden Bell Shield!"

"Black and Yellow Body!"

Huang Chen immediately activated two auxiliary skills. He wanted to tank this blow to see how high Talos's attack power could reach.

-715,400!

Seeing the health deduction prompt, Huang Chen felt assured.

He currently had 5 million health and over 5 million attack power. If he clashed with Talos, he should be able to maintain his health.

After roaring, Talos immediately turned around and lunged at Huang Chen with its mouth wide open.

Its previous Dragon Roar skill was an imitation of the giant dragons in the Hongmeng Universe, and it had even added an electric net attack, which would definitely stun this little ant.

However, Huang Chen, who had activated the Black and Yellow Body, was completely unaffected by control effects.

The moment Talos opened its mouth to bite, he advanced instead of retreating, using Soul Severing Stab to rush under Talos's belly.

"Poison Sand Palm!" ×4

"Roar!"

Talos cried out in pain, directly grabbing an electric ball and slamming it onto Huang Chen, dealing over 800,000 damage.

However, Huang Chen's Poison Sand Palm dealt nearly ten million damage per second to it.

Under the Northern Darkness Aura, 3% × 34 = 102%!

The lifesteal amount directly reached the cap, which was 100% of the damage.

As they clashed, Huang Chen's stun reduction time was already close to 75%, so Talos couldn't forcibly control him.

However, after only two seconds, Huang Chen's expression suddenly changed.

Talos's lightning attack included an area-of-effect skill similar to the Earth Element Users' Raging Thunder Shakes the Earth.

If cast fast enough, it could stack infinitely in one spot.

In two seconds, although Huang Chen's health would instantly fully recover every time it dropped.

But the damage value had already increased from over 800,000 to over 2 million.

If this continued, in at most three more seconds, Huang Chen's maximum health would not be able to withstand Talos's maximum attack.

Thinking of this, Huang Chen's figure flashed and appeared beside Talos, continuing his attack.

Talos roared and continued to cast skills at Huang Chen's position.

Huang Chen's teleport cooldown was 3 seconds, and his transfer cooldown was 3 seconds.

So every 1.5 seconds, he could teleport once, avoiding the heavy lightning zone.

This way, Huang Chen ensured his safety.

However, Talos would use a skill to clear its poisoned status every ten seconds or so.

Otherwise, if the poison continued to stack, it would die in less than ten minutes.

Just like this, they clashed for nearly ten minutes, and Talos's health had only slightly decreased by less than 2%.

Neither side could do anything to the other.

Mainly, Huang Chen needed to constantly change positions, so he couldn't continuously output damage, and the poison couldn't be continuously stacked.

And Talos had incredibly high health, with a regeneration rate only slightly slower than Huang Chen's damage output.

At this rate, it would take at least 9 hours of non-stop fighting to kill Talos.

And there couldn't be any accidents in between that would interrupt the attack.

Huang Chen frowned, pondering a solution.

Meanwhile, Talos also began to get anxious.

The opponent was as slippery as an eel.

It simply couldn't be killed!

At first, it relied on its high health, thinking that one mistake from Huang Chen would allow it to take him down.

But slowly, it finally realized that if they continued to clash like this, it would eventually be worn down to death by the person in front of it.

What kind of person was this?

To have such strength at only level 50?

Thinking of this, Talos glanced at All the women ten kilometers away, a cunning and ruthless glint flashing in its eyes.

Suddenly, it roared to the sky again.

Huang Chen had already prepared to activate the Black and Yellow Body to avoid being stunned.

However, this time Talos did not release any lightning with its roar.

Instead, all the Dragon Tombs in the entire Dragon Burial Abyss cracked open with this roar.

Then, countless Wyvern skeletons creaked and crawled out of the Dragon Tombs.

And then they strode towards Shu Fei Ma Suo and the others.

The sudden change caused All the women to exclaim in surprise.

Tie Shengnan stepped forward immediately.

She shouted, "Metal Element Users, step forward and tank; Water Element users, heal; other elements, free attack, prepare to engage!"

Except for Shu Fei Ma Suo, the other women all began to position themselves according to Tie Shengnan's command.

Although the bone dragons looked like they were about to fall apart, they ran very fast.

In the blink of an eye, the first wave had rushed in front of All the women.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Numerous lightning bolts appeared above All the women.

Dense damage values appeared, but they were half as weak as the lightning attacks of ordinary Wyverns.

Fortunately, under All the women's many Halos, their health had reached 1.5 million, and Huang Chen's Dragon Might Domain further reduced the enemy's attacks.

Additionally, under Bai Zhaoning's Life Link, Huang Chen's lifesteal during his battle with Talos also became the group's sustain.

Although their attack power was insufficient, at least their lives were not in danger.

Looking at these bone dragons.

All of them used Earth Element Users' magic attacks.

In fact, they had completely abandoned their original most powerful physical attacks.

After all, they were now just a pile of bones assembled together; if they still used the physical attack methods from when they were alive.

Perhaps one pounce would cause them to fall apart.

Ten minutes passed, and the closest bone dragons began to fall in batches under the Refraction Aura and All the women's attacks.

At this point, Talos had been depleted of 5% of its health by Huang Chen.

However, as the bone dragons fell, an unexpected change occurred.

One by one, earthy yellow orbs of light floated up from the fallen bone dragon skeletons, then rapidly flew into Talos's body.

In just a few seconds, after absorbing the orbs of light, Talos's health instantly returned to full.

"Damn it!"

At this sight, Huang Chen couldn't help but curse.

He then teleported back to All the women.

"That guy is too cunning. We might have to clear these bone dragons first to kill it."

Huang Chen wielded his mist concealment spear and directly charged at the surrounding bone dragons.

Perhaps because they had died once, the bone dragons did not turn into puppets after being killed.

Bai Zhaoning listened to Huang Chen's words, looked up at the dense, endless bone dragons all around, and sighed, "There are so many bone dragons, we probably won't finish them even in three days and three nights!"

"Sister Bai, you're being too optimistic!"

Tie Shengnan said with a solemn expression, taking over Bai Zhaoning's words, "Haven't you noticed that Talos is not only recovering health after absorbing the light orbs, but its aura is also getting stronger and stronger?"

"We can't let this continue, we need to find a way!"

"Otherwise, if it absorbs enough, it might even break free from the chains, and then it will be truly difficult."

Tie Shengnan's words caused a stir among All the women, who all looked at Huang Chen.

Huang Chen shook his head helplessly, turned to Shu Fei Ma Suo, and asked, "Is there a way to exit the Dragon Burial Abyss?"

Shu Fei Ma Suo shook her head and said, "The Dragon Burial Abyss was set up by our ancestors to trap Talos. Breaking through from the inside is much harder than from the outside."

Huang Chen frowned and sighed upon hearing this. Their current situation seemed to be a stalemate, caught between a rock and a hard place.

In his previous life, when the Titan Clan conquered this place, they were certainly not as powerful as he was now.

How did they conquer Talos then?

There must be a way!

Huang Chen and All the women killed bone dragons while observing the entire basin, trying to find some weak points.

Only Shu Fei Ma Suo stared intently at the golden splendor dragon egg, her expression constantly struggling.

A moment later, she seemed to have made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and slowly said, "I have a way to limit its health regeneration..."
