Chapter 1858 Cthulhu’s Descendants
Heaven’s Secret’s Fifth Liege had the combat strength of dominator-level rank-7.
Bai saw that through directly. However, he could not really tell what he specialized in.
Though he was muscular, he was obviously not a combat cultivator. A combat cultivator’s aura could be easily recognized. Their qi-blood was much stronger than other cultivators. Although his qi-blood was stronger than regular cultivators of the same level, it was limited.
Nevertheless, Bai soon found out what he was specialized in.
The group of octopus monsters attacked together as soon as they discovered Fifth Liege.
Countless tentacles attacked him from all directions in the ocean.
However, Fifth Liege did not panic at all. Instead, his eyes were shut slightly, while his lips moved softly. He was chanting scriptures. At the same time, he put his hands together and began to perform hand seals quickly.
The second before the countless tentacles arrived, a golden Buddha landed on Fifth Liege out of nowhere, enveloping him.
The next second, Fifth Liege finally opened his eyes. Golden light shone forth from his golden body; a glaring golden gleam radiated from him. The tentacles vanished wherever the light passed.
The octopus monsters release devastating screams almost at the same time. After that, the monsters turned into nothingness.
The dominator-level rank-3 and rank-4 octopus monsters aside, even the dominator-level rank-5 monster was killed instantly without being able to fight back at all.
They were like shadows that were being chased by the sun, or like water vapor evaporated by high temperature. “Buddhist cultivator?!” Bai raised his brows slightly. “This technique is much more powerful than combat cultivators.”
One had to say that the Buddhist cultivator’s golden light truly had an amazing suppression effect on Abyssal creatures.
However, the instant kill effect was achievable mainly because Fifth Liege’s combat strength was higher than the monsters.
Clearly, Heaven’s Secret had picked Fifth Liege to join the exploration this time because he was a Buddhist cultivator.
However, what Bai was curious about was why he was not bald. He even had a thick head of hair.
He learned from Lin Huang that Buddhist cultivators were usually bald.
After Fifth Liege killed the group of monsters, the golden Buddha soon faded away. Bai’s Divine Telekinesis soon spread out elsewhere.
This time, he found a monster that was close to dominator-level rank-7 deep in the ocean.
The monster was much bigger than the Dagons and octopus monsters that he had seen before.
It was as if it was made of a mountain range. Its body was almost completely made of rocks. There were eyes all over its back, and each of them were underwater volcanoes.
Apart from that, it had two long elephant trunks.
They were like giant mountains that stretched tens of thousands of kilometers away.
“This guy’s aura is similar to Cthulhu’s as well…” Bai noticed the unusualness of this monster’s aura as soon as he discovered it. “However, He’s different from the octopus monsters from before…” “Can it be that it’s Cthulhu’s descendant?” Bai looked at the two trunks. They indeed looked like Cthulhu’s nose.
While Bai was observing the monster, his Divine Telekinesis suddenly sensed clear energy fluctuations not far away from the monster.
He spread out his Divine Telekinesis toward the source of the energy fluctuations immediately.
It was Fourth Liegem who was fighting a monster.
The monster’s size was almost similar to the trunk monster Bai had discovered just now, but its shape was similar to a muscular bullfrog. It had countless thin tentacles on its head like hair. There was only a single eye hidden in the center of the countless tentacles. Its limbs were similar to a bullfrog’s in the sense that they were webbed. This monster’s aura was very similar to Cthulhu’s as well. It was also different from the octopus monsters before.
“Is it one of Cthulhu’s descendants as well?” Bai speculated once more.
He also noticed that, although this monster’s combat strength was at the limit of dominator-level rank-6, its real ability was no weaker than Fourth Liege.
Fourth Liege was a saber cultivator. His attack ability was rather terrifying.
However, when his attacks landed on the bullfrog monster, they did not cause any substantial harm to it at all.
It was gigantic, and there was a hard rock shell covering its body.
Although Fourth Liege’s attacks could penetrate the shell, it was hard for his attacks to go deeper and harm its insides.
Not only that, this bullfrog monster’s explosive agility was powerful, and so was its attack speed.
The speed of its attacks were no slower than Fourth Liege’s attacks.
Although Fourth Liege had the combat strength of dominator-level rank-7, he did not dare to allow the monster to hit him.
The battle very soon fell into a stagnant state.
Just as Bai was hesitating whether to interfere, suddenly, a low roar came from the trunk monster not far away.
Clearly, it had also noticed the battle over here.
“Are they going to work together to fight Fourth Liege?” Bai raised his brows slightly. He suppressed his urge to attack to see what it was going to do exactly.
At that moment, the countless tentacles on the bullfrog monster’s head were swinging around frantically as if they were boiling. It released a roar too.
Compared to the trunk monster, its voice was of higher frequency.
Bai soon noticed that after the bullfrog monster roared, Fourth Liege’s movements clearly slowed down.
“What’s happening?!” Bai discovered Fourth Liege’s situation immediately.
“Did it attack his God’s soul?!” He noticed that something was clearly off about Fourth Liege. “No… It looks like an illusion…”
As expected, the strength of Fourth Liege’s God’s soul did not falter at all, but his battle rhythm had clearly slowed down. As the bullfrog monster continued to roar, the trunk monster’s voice was getting more vigorous, while Fourth Liege’s movements were obviously becoming slower and slower.
The bullfrog monster did not seize the opportunity to attack. Instead, it kept defending and dodging. It seemed to be afraid of interrupting the other monster.
Approximately five to six minutes later, Fourth Liege finally froze where he was entirely.
The bullfrog monster stopped defending and dodging. It continued to roar in a high frequency. The trunk monster not far away did not stop as well. It continued to roar with the bullfrog
monster.
Very soon, Bai noticed that although Fourth Liege did not attack, the Dominator Power in his body was being drained continuously. The speed was almost as if it was burning; it was fading intensely as each second passed.
“As I thought, it’s an illusion technique!” Bai confirmed the two’s combined technique as he observed the situation up to this point.
He initially thought that the two monsters would have been experts at close combat.
He had not expected them to be proficient at illusion techniques, and for them to work together like that.
Under the collaboration of the two dominator-level rank-6 monsters, the illusion they casted had easily trapped a dominator-level rank-7 powerhouse!
Seems like I really can’t underestimate these Abyssal monsters. It’s hard to guard against their strange techniques!’ Bai secretly thought to himself.
Watching Fourth Liege’s Dominator Power being drained within these few minutes, while his aura plummeted and blood dripped from his mouth and nose, Bai moved and disappeared from where he was.
