Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Hit Me from Over 800 Meters Away?
Bear, shrimp, hand.
Except for the last one being a bit bizarre, the other two seem pretty harmless, and the rough sketch of the bear is even somewhat cute.
"It shouldn’t be too difficult,"
Leon looked up at the sky and saw three blue light columns descending, each touching down at different locations.
After everyone had come into contact with the little demon statue, they were all able to see these, surmising these were the locations of the three wisdom beasts.
"Let’s head to the nearest one first,"
He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he always felt that these three light columns were quite close to the Sealing Prison, as if to improve the efficiency of the decryptors.
As they approached the first light column, the light disappeared. A clearing was what the light had previously enveloped, indicating they needed to search for the exact location of the wisdom beast themselves.
Was it the bear, the shrimp, or the hand here?
"Boss, there’s a light point over there," Maru suddenly pointed out a spot of white light on the ground.
The light point sat neatly at the center of the clearing, surrounded by a dozen sharp spikes resembling bamboo shoots, looking a bit odd.
"Wait a moment,"
Leon warily scanned the sky, but there weren’t any monsters up there, let alone an ambush.
"There’s nothing in the nearby forest either," Tal cooperatively combed the surroundings in sync with Leon.
Strange, a light point without monsters? This wasn’t typical of Sain Dungeon!
Something felt off, but Leon couldn’t quite put his finger on what.
"I’ll be quick, just grab it and come back," Maru said as she walked toward the light point.
Leon stared at the light point, deep in thought, always feeling that the nearby bamboo shoot-like stones resembled...
He happened to glance at his own hands, whose nails hadn’t been trimmed in a while, a bit pointed... and suddenly, his eyes widened!
"Maru, don’t move!"
It was too late, Maru had already stepped into the circle of spikes. Hearing Leon’s shout, she instinctively tried to back away—
"Whoosh!"
It moved, the spikes moved! They violently clenched into fists, and even though Maru was already retreating, her foot still got caught!
At this moment, the true identity of the spikes was revealed; it was a giant hand with several fingers, adorned with jewel rings!
So this was one of the three wisdom beasts!
"Ahhhh!"
Maru screamed, swiftly drawing her dagger to wound the Hand Monster, seizing the opportunity to pull out her left leg.
Enraged by the attack, the Hand Monster’s many fingers writhed angrily, providing a visually striking impact, its weirdness on par with Undead creatures.
Alongside the giant Hand Monster’s fury, many smaller Hand Monsters emerged from the ground, each wriggling its body, a scene distressing enough to make one lose sanity.
"What disgusting things..."
The Strategy Group charged in to confront the group of Hand Monsters, engaging in a blood-soaked battle.
Before long, Leon plunged his Longsword into the giant Hand Monster, putting an end to this wisdom beast.
During the melee, Tal was hit by a strange magic released by the Hand Monster, his movements instantly restricted, allowing the smaller Hand Monsters to take a few swipes at his face.
He was the only one injured; the Hand Monster’s strength wasn’t formidable, it was just its horrible appearance that could be intimidating at first glance.
"No, where’s the wisdom in this thing?" Maru said with disdain: "So disgusting!"
"Because it ambushes?" Drew said.
"Something my cat can do is considered wisdom?"
"Who knows," Drew said indifferently: "It’s not like they put it here just to disgust us on purpose,"
He felt he might have unintentionally stumbled upon the truth.
The group headed toward the second light column, but as they proceeded, the fog around them thickened, with a damp smell permeating the air, visibility sharply declining.
"Why is there fog all of a sudden?"
Tal waved his hand as if trying to disperse the mist, which was, of course, futile.
"Stop,"
Leon said softly, halting everyone.
"Crackle, crackle..."
"Roar..."
Suddenly, a deep beastly roar came from ahead. Everyone squinted into the dense fog, discerning a massive, dark silhouette.
It was a giant bear!
At this moment, the Lune Bear was busily scratching a large tree, oblivious to the presence of the Strategy Group behind it.
Leon glanced at the ferocious bear in front of him, then remembered the cute little bear from the sketch...
No idiot could possibly make a connection between the two.
"Let me handle this," Tal clenched his fists, eager to engage in hand-to-hand combat with powerful creatures, and this giant bear was just to his liking.
"Be careful," Drew, as usual, cast supportive magic on him. Feeling the surge of strength, Tal roared and charged straight at the Lune Bear!
No, Tal, why do you roar so loudly? Now you’ve been discovered... Leon was speechless.
"Roar?"
The Lune Bear turned around in confusion, only to be solidly tackled by Tal, the powerful impact smashing it to the ground, shattering the earth!
"Ha ha, my strength has the upper hand!"
Tal shouted joyously, but behind him echoed Leon’s furious scolding.
"Watch out for the Monster, you idiot Tal!"
Watch out for the Monster?
Tal looked up, just in time to lock eyes with the Lune Bear.
The latter’s gaze seemed to say: Haven’t you had your meal, brat?
Impossible, I clearly used seventy percent of my strength—
Before Tal could react, the Lune Bear opened its mouth and let out a wild roar, and not just Tal, even Leon and the others felt a momentary standstill!
A single roar had firmly controlled the Strategy Group.
It was all because they didn’t bring high-level earplugs.
The Lune Bear violently shook itself, flinging Tal away in the blink of an eye, then burst forth with a speed that belied its large body, lunging at them!
Drew hastily blasted a Fireball, but the magic had no effect on the bear, not slowing it down in the slightest!
The resilience of the Bear Ember King was just too high.
"Boom!"
It landed solidly on Tal, exacting fierce revenge.
"Tal!" Maru, frightened, immediately rushed over to check on her teammate, but Leon held her shoulder.
"Have you forgotten Tal’s lineage?" Leon said: "He won’t die that easily,"
The very next second after he spoke, a strange roar came from beneath the Lune Bear:
"Waggggh!"
With the roar, the mighty Lune Bear was shaken!
In its bewildered expression, the glowing green and demon-like Tal actually lifted it up!
"Waggggh!!!"
The Lune Bear was thrown away!
The Lune Bear fell to the ground, sustaining minor injuries!
The Lune Bear charged again!
Not to be outdone, Tal spread his arms and also charged at the Lune Bear, both man and beast fighting in the oldest form of combat—hand-to-hand.
The earth trembled, trees fell one by one, the commotion of the fight was just too much.
"If I don’t go help him out," Maru said helplessly: "He looks addicted to fighting, this won’t end anytime soon,"
"Go ahead, go ahead,"
Maru bent down, shook her waist like a cat, and darted out in the blink of an eye, her cold blade aiming straight for the Lune Bear.
However, just then!
"Pfft—"
Out of nowhere, a high-pressure water jet shot out, hitting Maru with precision and sending her slender form flying far away!
Ah!?
Faced with this sudden change, everyone was stunned.
Where did that water jet come from? Weren’t there no Monsters nearby?
"No, over there!"
Drew, deliberately using the strength-enhancing magic Eagle Eye, instantly found the culprit.
Far, far away, at the location of the third blue column of light, above a pool of water...
A huge lobster was charging up, preparing to shoot a second water jet at them.
A hit on petite Maru from eight hundred meters away!?
That’s a cheat, definitely a cheat!
