Chapter 131 Tidal Cave 3
......
Lin Tian hovered in mid-air, looking down at the wolf pack efficiently clearing out another wave of [Tidal Fishmen] and [Giant Claw Lobster Men].
Celia was held firmly in his arms, her slender arms gently encircling his neck, her purple eyes surveying the monster below that was constantly turning into white light.
"This hidden dungeon is really good," Lin Tian said with a hint of satisfaction.
"The monster density is high, the respawn rate is fast, and there are many different types. It's practically a treasure trove for farming upgrade points and Dominator Power."
With a thought, a semi-transparent attribute panel unfolded before his eyes, and his gaze swept over the two key data points.
[Current remaining upgrade points: 33244]
[Dominion Power: 19234]
In just a short while, the points gained were back to over 3.
The power of domination is also nearly 2.
"In the wild, the map is too big and the monsters are too scattered. It would take at least half an hour, or even an hour, to farm 10,000 upgrade points."
Lin Tian compared the two, saying, "Here, the efficiency is several times higher. I estimate I can get 10,000 points done in ten minutes."
Maintaining the repulsive field of [Shinra Tensei] for low-altitude flight, although it continuously consumes mana,
However, for Lin Tian, who has several percentage points of mana regeneration, this amount of consumption is almost negligible.
His mana bar remained above the health line, and even showed a slow upward trend.
Just as Lin Tian was leisurely grinding monsters, three pairs of cold and cruel vertical pupils were staring intently at the two figures in the air from the shadow of a huge coral reef in the distance.
These were the other three giant python guardians—Lan, Xuan, and Fu—who were sent by Bai Xi to investigate and kill the intruders.
"Was it him... who killed Mo Lin?"
Lan, whose body was dark blue and whose figure was the most slender, hissed, "A human... can actually fly??"
The creature, entirely dark brown with exceptionally thick scales, spoke in a deep, muffled voice. It was more adept at defense and less sensitive to energy. "He's flying in the air, so it's difficult for us to attack him."
"Wait!" The snake, its body greyish-white and its aura the coldest, flicked its tongue; it had the best patience.
"Maintaining flight will consume a huge amount of energy! The moment his magic power is depleted and he lands will be the time for our thunderous attack! Lan, you use your interference skill; Xuan, you charge in from the front, I'll flank from behind!"
The three snakes reached a consensus, suppressing their urge to attack immediately, like the most experienced hunters, lurking in the shadows, waiting for their prey to reveal a weakness.
A minute passed... Lin Tian was still flying, casually tossing down a [Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Guidance], clearing out a large area.
Five minutes passed... Lin Tian remained suspended in the air, even taking out a bottle of juice and handing it to Celia in his arms, and taking a sip himself.
Ten minutes passed... Nearly half of the monsters below had been cleared, and Lin Tian showed no signs of exhaustion.
Lan: "..."
Whirlwind: "..."
undercurrent eddy:"......"
A great deal of doubt and a trace of unease appeared in the vertical pupils of the three snakes.
"His magic power...is inexhaustible?" Whirlwind couldn't help but growl, its patience almost exhausted.
"Something's not right...something's really wrong!" Lan's senses were the sharpest.
"We can't wait any longer!" A resolute glint flashed in Fu's eyes.
"He's almost reached the outer perimeter of the temple! Any further and he'll disturb Lord Bai Xi's rest! We must stop him!"
Their original perfect ambush spot was a narrower waterway ahead, where they were better positioned to maneuver.
But seeing how fast Lin Tian was advancing, they dared not delay any longer.
"It's in that shipwreck area up ahead! Let's move in first!"
Fu finally issued the order.
"Lan, suppress him from a distance! Xuan, force him to land! I'll stealthily approach and unleash my finishing move!"
The three snakes immediately took advantage of the complex terrain and water flow, and silently swam quickly towards the planned area.
Just as they crept in, trying to conceal themselves, a group of five Shadow Wolves patrolling nearby stopped almost simultaneously.
They crouched low, their bodies burning silently with azure demonic flames, and their crimson wolf eyes instantly locked onto the three exceptionally powerful and hostile auras in the shadows!
"Awooo—!"
The lead wolf let out a short, low howl, not a signal to attack, but a supreme warning signal to the main body of the wolf pack and Lin Tian!
At the same time, as Lin Tian was flying over the shipwreck area, he immediately received a warning message from the Ghost Wolf in his mind!
"Hmm?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and slowed his flight. "An ambush?"
Celia in his arms instantly became alert, her sharp purple eyes sweeping across the shipwreck ruins below.
Below, in the shadow of the sunken ship.
"We've been discovered!" Lan She exclaimed in surprise.
"Those damn wolves!" The vortex snake lashed out with its tail, kicking up a cloud of mud.
"We can't hide anymore! Attack!" The most decisive one, knowing that lying in wait was pointless, immediately issued the attack command!
Three powerful auras erupted from the shipwreck area in an instant, stirring up the water and forming three distinct whirlpools!
"Hiss—! You wretched wolf cubs! You ruined our plans!"
Lan She was the first to rise upright from the water, opening its huge mouth and firing several [water arrows] made entirely of highly compressed water elements at the few ghost wolves that had sounded the alarm, like a barrage of bullets!
"Crush these bugs first!" the vortex snake roared angrily.
"Human! Die!" The figure of the serpent mysteriously blended into the shadows, as if it had disappeared, but a chilling killing intent instantly locked onto Lin Tian in the air!
Lin Tian hovered in the air, looking at the three giant pythons that suddenly attacked below. Instead of being panicked, he showed a "just as I thought" smile.
Faced with the sudden attack from the three giant pythons below, Lin Tian's eyes remained calm and unwavering; his fighting instincts were already ingrained in his bones.
In the blink of an eye, defense and counterattack had already begun.
[Magic Shield]!
He immediately cast a sturdy shield around himself, a magical barrier formed by consuming 20% of his mana instantly enveloping his entire body.
Immediately afterwards, he used the powerful skill he had just acquired without hesitation.
[Shadow Clone]!
A massive amount of magical power was instantly consumed, and the space around him distorted and fluctuated. Another "Lin Tian" who was almost identical to Lin Tian's original body appeared out of thin air!
The clone's eyes were sharp, its movements fluid, and the moment it appeared, it raised its hand without hesitation—
[Magic Shield]!
Another shield, consuming 20% of mana, lit up, completely protecting the clone!
In an instant, the two "Lin Tians," both protected by solid shields, floated in the air, startling the Lan and Xuan snakes below who were preparing to attack.
It was that momentary hesitation that determined their fate.
Lin Tian and his clone were in perfect harmony, raising their hands almost simultaneously, their targets clear!
