Chapter 542 Mysterious Beast

Before long, all the players gathered around the sleeping beast, chattering and talking.

"Should I fight it? How can I pass the level without fighting? But it doesn't have a red name! Should I fight it or not?"

"How about giving it a try? What if you get a red name after you do that?"

"Don't cheat your boss! If there are any special pre-tasks or Easter eggs and you cheat them, you might not even get paid!"

"Then let's wait for instructions..."

"Why is it so ugly?"

"Well, it seems that the monsters in the Endless Ruins dungeon are all uglier!"

"The monsters in other books aren't good looking either!"

“This one is particularly ugly!”

"If there is no light source in Guixu and it is pitch black everywhere, then we can understand the appearance of these monsters."

Amid the chatter, [Handsome Guy] was very confident and analyzed loudly: "It's just like the underwater world of our Blue Planet! Anyway, no one can see each other, so just grow as you like!"

Some players are also a little worried: "Hey, is it really appropriate for us to disturb its sleep by surrounding it like this? What if it gets upset and attacks us?"

Someone replied: "That shouldn't be the case... Didn't Mr. Cilan just say that it looked at us and then went back to sleep?"

A player with obsessive compulsive disorder broke down and yelled, "It's Jieran! Jieran! Jie-ran!"

Just when the players didn't know what to do, Fang Xianyu, who was urgently notified of the matter, stared at the strange beast he had never seen before, with a confused look on his face.

How to describe it?

At least it doesn't conform to human aesthetics.

It was covered in rubble and dirt and looked like it hadn't been moved for a long time, so it was difficult to determine its skin color.

Overall, it looks more like a mammal because it has obvious limbs and bones - although it has six limbs and these six limbs are more like octopus tentacles, its tail is very long and has obvious joints, so it should not be a mollusk.

Its head is like a seal, round, and has two hanging tentacles, which may also be a beard.

There is only one eye and a mouth on its face, no nose. The eye and mouth are very large, standing out from the other side of its face.

If its belly wasn't still rising and falling and its mouth wasn't constantly breathing in and out, one would have thought it was a dead thing.

It was clearly awake, but it was not as violent as the other strange beasts or demons that wandered in from Guixukou, and it had no intention of attacking the players at all.

The strangest thing is, just as [Jie Ran] said at the beginning, the moment [Jie Ran] approached it, it just opened its eyes, glanced at [Jie Ran], and continued to sleep.

Fang Xianyu was not sure whether this strange beast was friendly to humans, or whether it had its own civilization, and whether it was highly intelligent and capable of communication, so he gave it a green name above its head to prevent players from doing their job and angering the other party.

"Huh!? There really is a hidden mission! Look above its head!"

The first person to discover the unexpected situation was the Emperor. He shouted excitedly in the group microphone: "Look! It's Green Name!"

[Green Tomato] complained: "[Mysterious Beast]? This name is too sloppy!"

Then, a familiar reminder sounded, and a task popped up in the taskbars of all players in the team -

[The Secret of Guixu]: [I wanted to clear the dangers in the five-color formation, but I unexpectedly discovered a strange beast. I don’t know what secrets are hidden behind it... Please explore its secrets as much as possible without offending the mysterious beast. (Reward: Exp, 3000 points of sect contribution, 3000 points of sect prestige, limited mysterious props)]

"Golden hidden mission! Holy shit! Can I encounter golden hidden missions in the next game?!"

"Isn't this too abstract? The old black man of the Great Emperor can actually open the golden hidden!?"

Several players shouted out in surprise. No one expected that they would encounter a golden hidden mission while working to earn money!

The Jade Emperor was finally very proud. He boasted loudly in his microphone: "Speak up! Speak to me! Look into my eyes! Tell me! Who dares to question my authority again!?"

"Okay, okay, even if you use metaphysics to change your fate and turn a serf into an emperor," the handsome guy who had a good relationship with the emperor joked, "but the problem is that there are no clues at all. How can we complete this mission?"

"I think—"

The emperor was just about to express his opinion when suddenly a rumbling sound was heard.

Then, the ground shook and several players fell down.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the giant beast, and sure enough, the giant beast had opened its eyes at some point, and its expression seemed a little impatient.

The earthquake was caused by it shaking its entire body. Piles of fallen rocks and soil rolled to the ground like a landslide, and soon it stood up completely.

Well... its legs, or tentacles, are too short, so there is not much difference between it standing and lying down.

However, just when everyone thought that an accident was about to happen, the giant beast stared at everyone for a few seconds, and then slapped the ground with its tail a few times.

As its tail flapped, spiritual energy gradually gathered in the air. Before long, the spiritual energy formed a storm. The strong wind was so strong that the players had to support each other in order to avoid being blown away in a natural state.

However, the behemoth obviously did not intend to attack the players, because a huge hole appeared in the huge spiritual storm!

It was like the dimensional crack in the anime. The two front tentacles of the giant beast transformed into sharp claws, which opened the two sides of the crack and then poked its head in.

This series of actions left everyone confused, and the speculations in the team channel were even more varied:

"Wow! Is it trying to escape? How can we complete our mission then?"

"It seems like you are going to tear something apart?"

"Will it destroy the Five Color Formation? I remember the background story of this copy seems to be related to the Five Color Formation!"

"How about giving it a try?"

"Don't make trouble!"

[Jade Emperor] also stopped some players from having dangerous thoughts, and loudly commanded in the group microphone: "Don't mess around! Wait and see! Who knows what the special plot is! We are all employees, don't mess around and make the boss lose the reward!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the beast retracted its head and closed the crack again.

It is very abstract, and it really is like closing a door, compressing the crack back.

When the crack disappeared, the terrifying spiritual storm also disappeared, and everything that just happened seemed like an illusion.

Afterwards, the giant beast's head got closer and closer to the players, until it was less than a hundred meters away from the leading [Jade Emperor].

Just as the Jade Emperor was asking for urgent help from Senior Sister Baili Shuang in private chat, the giant beast suddenly opened its mouth, and then -

With a "wow" sound, he vomited.

But what it vomited out was nothing else but a bunch of half-dead demons.

Some were missing wings or legs, or their heads were gone but their bodies were still twitching.

Of course, these demons are not too difficult to deal with. Most of them are at the foundation-building stage. In fact, because they are in a half-dead state, their combat effectiveness is further discounted.

"What does this mean?"

Wu Tong, the only boss of the group, was as stunned as the other players and asked out loud.
