Chapter 551 Level 7 Elite Monster Rock Armor Beast
He closed the panel and looked up at the wasteland beyond the valley.
There, hordes of elite monsters are spawning.
He could see the gray-black back of the Rock Armored Beast moving across the ground, the purple light of the Crystal Cluster Monster standing out conspicuously in the twilight, and further away, a pack of Thundermane Wolves roaming, the arcs of electricity on their manes resembling strings of tiny golden lamps in the dimming light.
Celia did not respond, but simply tilted her head slightly to indicate that she had heard.
Her silver eyes gleamed briefly in the twilight before returning to their deep, dark color.
Little Whitey let out a short cry and flew off his shoulder.
Its body expanded again in mid-air to more than two meters long, and the icy blue luster on its scales was particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a polished sapphire.
Lin Tian strode towards the wasteland.
On the wasteland, the first batch of rock-armored beasts are gnawing on the ore on the ground.
They lowered their heads, their thick mouths biting into the exposed ore blocks on the ground, crunching and chewing them before swallowing them.
These level 70 elite monsters resemble pangolins, are three meters long, and have gray-black rocky scales covering their backs. Each scale is the size of a palm and has sharp edges like blades.
Their limbs are short and thick, but very powerful, and their claws can easily dig through hard rock layers.
Its tail is as thick as an iron hammer, and you can hear a whooshing sound when it swings.
They are extremely insensitive to sound, but exceptionally alert to ground vibrations.
Lin Tian's footsteps made a soft, rustling sound on the gravel—the sound was actually very faint, but to the Rock Armor Beast's perception, it sounded like someone was drumming on the ground.
The few rock-armored beasts raised their heads at the same time.
Their eyes are only the size of mung beans, with cloudy yellow pupils. They don't look very smart, but their alertness is just as strong.
They opened their mouths, revealing a mouthful of fine, yellow teeth, and emitted a low hissing sound.
They didn't rush over.
Level 70 elite monsters have a much stronger sense of danger than ordinary monsters.
They could sense the aura emanating from the human before them—the overwhelming difference in power made them instinctively retreat.
Several rock-armored beasts even took a few steps back, their claws digging shallow grooves in the ground.
Lin Tian did not wait.
He raised his hand, and icy blue light condensed at his fingertips.
The light didn't suddenly appear; it started from the fingertips, spreading like ink on rice paper, quickly covering the entire right palm, and then converging at the tip of the index finger, condensing into a tiny point of light.
Stellar rays
An extremely condensed beam of light burst forth from his fingertips.
The beam of light was not much thicker than a hair, but it was extremely bright, leaving a visible trail of light in the air.
The beam of light pierced through the head of the rock-armored beast fifty meters away, entering from one eye socket and exiting from the back of the other head.
The rock scales shattered, sending grayish-white fragments flying everywhere. Some of them flew into the air, reflecting a dim light in the sunlight.
The edges of the penetrating wound were charred black, but there was no bleeding—the high temperature instantly carbonized the blood vessels and tissues.
A huge damage number floated up above the monster's head.
Sold out instantly.
The Rock Armor Beast's corpse crashed to the ground, its limbs twitching twice, its tail flicking one last time before slamming into the ground with a dull thud, and then it lay still.
The other rock-armored beasts around them then realized what was happening.
They emitted piercing hissing sounds, like metal scraping against rock, or the roar of some ancient creature.
Without hesitation, they pawed at the ground and charged towards Lin Tian, their speed more than twice as fast as before.
Lin Tian did not move.
He stood still, his right hand still in the same position as before, his left hand hanging at his side, and even his eyes remained unchanged.
Little White swooped down from the sky.
Its speed was like an ice-blue lightning bolt, plunging straight down from a height of thirty meters and coming to an abrupt stop less than five meters from the ground.
The dragon's body hovered gracefully in mid-air, then opened its mouth and exhaled a stream of icy blue breath.
[Ice Dragon's Breath]
An SS-rank skill, a new move enhanced by the Heroic Spirit Spring.
Unlike the previous fan-shaped breath attack, this time the breath attack did not spread out, but instead condensed into an energy column as thick as a bucket.
Wherever the energy column passed, the water vapor in the air instantly condensed into tiny ice crystals, like a handful of icy blue diamonds scattered in the air.
Where the energy pillar scraped across the ground, it left a trail of white frost. The ice layer was about two fingers thick and made a crunching sound when stepped on.
The energy beam swept directly over the three rock-armored beasts charging at the front.
In extreme cold, the rock scales first turn white, then fine cracks appear. The cracks spread rapidly, and finally the entire scales become brittle, crack, and shatter.
The health bars of the three monsters dropped to zero simultaneously, going from full health to zero health in less than half a second.
Their corpses slid several meters in a running posture, their four claws still digging at the ground, before stiffly collapsing into the frost, their bodies covered with a thin layer of ice.
Celia emerged from the shadows.
She didn't use Succubus's Kiss—in this purely monster-clearing scenario, that skill's single-target control efficiency wasn't high enough.
She simply unleashed Shadowthorn.
Shadow thorns sprouted from the ground. These thorns were not plants, but black spikes formed from pure shadow energy, each as thick as an arm and with a tip as sharp as a needle.
They exploded beneath the feet of the remaining rock-armored beasts, blooming like a black flower in an instant, with thorns wrapping around their limbs and piercing the gaps in their scales.
A 30% speed reduction debuff appears above the head of each monster, with an icon of a black shackle.
Lin Tian followed up with a Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Pull.
Consuming two percent of his maximum mana, an invisible energy fluctuation emanated from his body.
The ripples were circular, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, spreading outwards from Lin Tian as the center.
The ripples covered the eastern side of the entire wasteland, a fan-shaped area with a radius of about eighty meters.
Damage numbers appeared in large numbers.
The slowed-down rock-armored beasts had their health bars completely depleted, falling in all sorts of bizarre ways—
Some suddenly collapsed while running, some froze as soon as they raised their front paws, and some were entangled in thorns, their bodies twisted into strange angles when they fell.
In less than ten seconds, the first batch of Rock Armor Beasts were all wiped out.
Lin Tian did not stop and continued walking deeper into the wilderness.
His boots stomped over the corpses of rock-armored beasts, over broken ice, and over scorched ground, making various sounds.
The second batch of monsters appeared—the Crystal Cluster Monsters.
These level 72 elite monsters are not living beings, but some kind of activated mineral crystals.
They grow from mineral veins on the ground, and their shapes resemble irregular aggregates of polyhedra.
The largest is as tall as two people, and the smallest is half a person tall.
