Chapter 585: Chapter 457: Is There Still an Ecosystem?_2

"Do you have any Magic Potions?"

Some fiery red Magic Potions bloomed behind the lava reefs. Although they were not anything precious, their growth here was a surprise.

Lin Dezhen truly saw what was called a moving treasury.

As he was ascending, suddenly a dark shadow burst out, with its claw filled with energy light aiming for Lin Dezhen’s head. Lin Dezhen dodged by tilting his head and hadn’t expected the opponent to feint. The real target was his abdomen, and the knee coming up hit his armor, causing pain to surge.

However, Lin Dezhen didn’t take a single step back; instead, he swung his fist to counterattack the opponent’s face. His fist sent the enemy flying with ease, tunneling into the Mountain King’s surface lava. Although Lin Dezhen always considered himself an agility-oriented Elemental Warrior, his physical strength could still be considered tougher than that of a blood bull-type BOSS.

"Another new species," Lin Dezhen observed the thing that crawled out. It was an ape-like monster, hairless, but covered in a layer of fiery red scales. When it got up, its brain was still a bit fuzzy, shaking its head to regain consciousness.

Lin Dezhen didn’t reach for his Lionheart Greatsword or broken sword, but used "Mien’s Invisible Blade" to release "Mien’s Soul Blade."

The Invisible Sword was already in his grasp.

After taking a punch from Lin Dezhen, he thought the monkey would fight more evasively, but to his surprise, it lunged at him again. As its claw swept towards him, Lin Dezhen stepped back slightly to create distance, dodging the gust of the punch, and then quickly lunged forward counter-attacking. The Invisible Sword in his hand penetrated the opponent’s abdomen. The scales, tough as steel, caved in, and blood and lava flowed out like a stream, splashing all over Lin Dezhen.

The monkey roared, but Lin Dezhen was smiling unconcernedly, knowing he’d wounded his prey. As another claw swung at him, he then showed his skills as an agility warrior, his toes touching the claw as he sprang into the air, over the monkey, gripping the now visible Soul Blade and brought down a Vertical Slash.

A blood-soaked blow, mercilessly splitting it in half.

Seeing this, the monkeys in the distance immediately turned tail and ran.

"There’s already an ecosystem of its own evolved on the mountain," Lin Dezhen dispelled the Soul Blade.

The battle continued on the Mountain King’s body, with roars and the sounds of fighting echoing.

The anomalies on his body drew the Mountain King’s attention. It frantically shook itself, sending spheres of high-temperature Rock Bombs tumbling down.

The creatures parasitizing on the Mountain King took the opportunity to loudly declare their existence, working with the Rock Bombs to hunt the people of the Gravel Mountain Range.

Lin Dezhen could see the warriors, despite their grave injuries, still fighting desperately. But their idea of stopping the Mountain King from advancing was a pipe dream. They couldn’t even deal with these parasites, let alone kill such a giant beast.

A Rock Bomb smashed towards Lin Dezhen, who raised his sword and sliced it in half, not retreating a single step.

Farther away, Tione, having received her fiancé’s command, obediently stood still. But still, something approached her, and she skillfully countered... planting mushrooms.

Perhaps it was this loud noise that drew the Mountain King’s attention. From afar, many could see mushroom clouds incessantly erupting on the Mountain King’s back.

The higher the climb, the fewer the people. Not only from their side, even the creatures parasitizing on the Mountain King became fewer and farther between.

Lin Dezhen stood with his sword at the tip of the Mountain King’s nose. This place was actually spacious enough to feel empty.

Those two eyeballs slowly rotated in what appeared like the Abyssal Great Rift. The dry eyeballs’ rotation made Lin Dezhen feel as if sand and dirt were being ground out.

Facing a giant beast comparable to a mountain with an ant’s body, Lin Dezhen felt a wave of emotion. At this moment, he didn’t want to say he had any selfish reasons for standing here, but like the Undead, he had a strong interest in defeating such a creature; perhaps this was also one of the reasons he pursued power.

...

The Black Shield panted, half-kneeling on the battlefield. Those great serpents were finally wiped clean, and the enemies that passed through his hands were sure to be mutilated.

This bloody path was not just the result of his own efforts, but also of the White Wolf Knight, who was now covered in wounds.

The opponent was a formidable warrior, and Black Shield really wanted to persuade the other party that it wasn’t necessary to sacrifice his life for this battle. After all, it was their own duty to defeat the Mountain King and also their pride. But it wasn’t for the passionate and powerful White Wolf Swordsman to bear.

Yet, the White Wolf Swordsman pulled out a bottle of precious Magic Potion, bit off the cork, poured it straight into his mouth, finished drinking, tossed it aside, and then took out another bottle, and another, and another... Watching with his own eyes, the opponent downed over a dozen Magic Potions of different colors and shapes in one go!

Then, the White Wolf Swordsman burst forth with power even stronger than before.

A thunderous explosion suddenly sounded.

Black Shield turned his head and saw a woman in a long robe holding a golden sword gently poking at something that was coming at her, which immediately exploded. The blast wave shot into the sky, forming a mushroom cloud.

Before he could marvel at her strength, something else charged at her, but the end awaiting them was the same. Mushroom cloud after mushroom cloud blossomed, blowing everything into disarray.

Thick smoke billowed, and then the hurricane created by the Mountain King’s movements blew the smoke away, revealing a serene figure standing there, hands crossed over her lower abdomen, with a forced smile on her face.

Corpses were almost invisible now. Under the "purification" of the mushroom clouds, hardly anything was left behind.

Then Black Shield realized that those mechanized miners following the mysterious and powerful woman of the mushroom clouds actually began mining right on the spot. He didn’t know whether to admire their audacity or persuade them to stop.

At this time, they should seize the moment to pursue. If these people were under his command, Black Shield would have definitely arranged for them to charge forward. The chance to drive back the Mountain King was right in front of them, but these people were not his subordinates, and the presence of the mushroom cloud woman also made Black Shield not dare to be the slightest bit presumptuous.

The disparity between the two sides was too vast; he could only take advantage of this baffling victory to rest and then figure out a way to rush forward and stop the Mountain King.

But Black Shield suddenly heard someone cry out, "What is that?"

"What?"

"Look up, above!" The speaker was also one of his own companions, who had just survived the sudden mushroom cloud reinforcements, and was now crouching and hiding.

Black Shield immediately stood up, shifted his gaze from the ragged surface of the Mountain King’s body and scanned towards the direction of the sky. That was the giant head of the Mountain King.

"Is that a person?" Black Shield realized in shock, as if there was a figure suspended in front of the Mountain King.

"The flame does not extinguish," Black Shield muttered to himself, "Who is that person?"

The distance was too far, and Black Shield could only see a figure the size of an ant, but what that ant-like figure did next filled Black Shield with terror. The other party raised both hands, and from their hands, a saber of azure color appeared, and as time passed, the sword grew larger and larger. At that moment, it looked like an ant carrying a stick.

He dared not imagine the strength of the other party, perhaps level 5, 6, or even 7.

But regardless, Black Shield hoped the other person could drive away the Mountain King. If he could break the opponent ... he also felt that was impossible. This kind of giant beast, even if it stood still and let him slay, he would not dare to say he could kill it.

Yet, that black ant-like figure really did bring down the immense azure sword in a Vertical Slash.

The blade was as sharp as the sun itself.

The entire Mountain King began to shake violently, and the mountain path under Black Shield’s feet also suddenly cracked open with a large fissure, and rocks from all sides began to collapse and fall, nearly burying everyone completely.

But now Black Shield’s attention was only on that man, who with just one sword strike caused the Mountain King pain, and the beast turned its head wanting to flee.

"Black Knight," a voice came from beside Black Shield.

He turned his head, only to realize it was his own man, Ska.

Ska boasted with a proud smile, "The powerful one I found!"
