Chapter 253 is already great
The leading captain held the lantern tightly, and drops of cold sweat flowed from his palms.
Although it was a human, behind the blurry figure, thick tentacles were dancing ferociously.
Due to its huge body, surging dark smoke continuously exploded from the figure, then wrapped around the tentacles, condensing into a layer of terrifying spiral power.
It's power! There is a strong and powerful force attached to the tentacles!
However, despite using the extraordinary techniques, everyone did not feel a sense of security. Instead, their bodies trembled even more violently.
Judging from the appearance alone, the aura of the monster in front of him is even stronger than that of this huge Shadow Mountain.
Whoosh whoosh—
Strong winds swept the sea.
"roar!"
The Shadow Mountain Beast roared, opening its dark, fang-filled mouth! A large amount of dark energy was pumped from all around its body, gathering at one point in its mouth.
Shadow Beast Cannon!
Once released, it will cause a terrifying torrent hundreds of meters long!
"It's the Shadow Beast Cannon! Everyone, use your defensive skills!"
The leading captain gave orders, watching the scene while retreating continuously.
Many hunters like to watch the battles between strong men, but obviously, this battle is not something they can watch.
"roar!"
Just as the Beast of Shadow Mountain was about to spit out the giant cannon—
In an instant, the black gas suddenly condensed and became deeper and more powerful. Ten thick tentacles were wrapped with energy, like one powerful dark drill after another!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The tentacles slammed down, dense and heavy like a rainstorm! No, judging by the terrifying size of the tentacles, it should be like a meteor shower!
The shadow beast cannon condensed in the mouth of the Shadow Mountain Beast shot into its stomach. Its extremely hard night scale shell also shattered violently, and several cracks appeared!
Boom! !
Finally, the eight tentacles intertwined together, condensed into a huge fist, and smashed down violently.
boom!
Pure power!
The Beast of Shadow Mountain was slammed into the sea, creating a huge wave that directly covered the hunters and pushed them back several steps.
A few seconds later, everyone relit their lanterns and hurried to capture the situation on the sea. They saw that the mountain-like body of the Shadow Mountain Beast had been broken into pieces, becoming extremely cold shadow meat blocks.
The leading captain couldn't help but ask:
"Who is that? Has another monster escaped from the research institute? Are there any other such powerful extraordinary beings on our Poseidon Island?"
"I don't know! Besides, only so many seconds have passed, where did that guy go!"
Everyone was frantically looking for the trace of the humanoid monster.
The next moment, as the waves rolled over their trouser legs, the fifty people here all felt the cold breath coming from behind.
The monster was behind them—the leader shuddered all over, and a strange feeling came from his neck.
Cool, soft as cotton——
There is a tentacle wrapped around its neck.
The leading captain was shocked.
And behind him, there was a whisper.
"Give me a tranquilizer—"
The voice behind him said coldly.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Each of them could feel the tentacles gently sliding across the ground, but no one dared to look back or even turn their heads.
Sedatives? The leading captain did not dare to disobey, and took out two bottles of powerful shock potions in syringes from his backpack card, and then handed them over tremblingly.
Bang--
Chen Qi took the two bottles of sedatives, raised his head, put them to his mouth, and crushed them with one fist.
Gulu! Gulu!
The blue potion flowed down his tongue and into Chen Qi's throat.
As the sedative took effect - Chen Qi's breathing gradually calmed down, and he glanced at the prompts in front of him again.
[You have defeated the Beast of Shadow Mountain and gained 6000 inspiration points.]
The upgraded Touch of the Ember is more powerful than I thought, and the loss of mental strength is also greater than I thought—
Chen Qi adjusted his spiritual power, and the ten huge tentacles behind him gradually calmed down.
Only after actual combat could Chen Qi personally feel the power of Touch of the Remnant Fire and Weaving of Shadows.
It is not just a simple matter of becoming thicker and bigger.
First of all, the power is greatly improved. Each tentacle is soft and strong at the same time.
Each tentacle can be considered as an extension of half a hand, and can enjoy the power bonus of Chenqi——
Every punch of the tentacle is comparable to the heavy punch of a third-level blade-phase transcendent!
The second is the conduction of spiritual power. Combined with the Hand of Remnant Fire and the Silk of the Weaver, the tentacles behind can fully enjoy the power and even use corresponding power moves.
With the simplest Qi transformation and steel energy, Chen Qi can directly use steel energy to wrap the tentacles, thereby greatly increasing the power of the tentacle punch.
The sheer force and energy alone was enough to break through the Shadow Mountain Beast's defenses that were beyond steel!
And this is when his physical condition and strength are not up to standard and have not been fully utilized.
However, the shortcomings are also very obvious.
First of all, it consumes a lot of endurance and spiritual power.
After a night of fighting, even though Chen Qi had taken several bottles of Flower Witch-specific spiritual potions and energy potions, he felt a strong physical overdraft after just over a minute of fighting.
The second is the excessive production of rage.
Originally, Flesh Cleaver and Bone Breaker and Touch of Remnant Fire were two specialized weapons that worked together. The rage generated by Touch of Remnant Fire would be perfectly absorbed by Flesh Cleaver and Bone Breaker.
However, things have changed now. The sudden evolution of Touch of the Embers has caused the rage that Flesh Cleaver and Bone Breaker can no longer suppress. Faced with the huge amount of rage, Flesh Cleaver and Bone Breaker cannot absorb it at all.
And Chen Qi has to bear this extra rage by himself.
In the battle just now, his brain was completely empty, with only monster-like fighting thoughts in his mind.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Therefore, Chen Qi just needed to take a strong sedative to relieve his rage.
"call……"
Chen Qi exhaled a breath of blood and took a look at the backpack card in his hand which was used to store props. Now, the potion given to him by the Flower Witch had been used up in daily practice and battles.
If it weren't for the 'mental threshold' of the monster in the night, he might even become a monster that only knew how to kill.
Upgrading equipment is certainly a good thing, but obviously, the equipment Touch of the Embers has exceeded his carrying capacity.
If you want to use the current Touch of the Ember, you must use consumable potions to ensure your own safety.
Chen Qi gently took out a gold coin worth 10,000 shells and flicked it into the hand of the captain below him:
"Thank you."
After saying that, Chen Qi left.
As the huge shadow tentacles swept across the ground, the sound gradually faded away, and everyone's intense heartbeats gradually calmed down.
At this moment, the captain looked at the gold coins in his hand and trembled:
"It didn't kill us, and it was quite polite..."
There was a female mage wearing round-framed glasses, hugging her body tightly:
"The more polite the monster, the more terrifying it is..."
Everyone looked at the shadow moving on the sea and guessed the other party's identity.
Until a loyal reader of the White Dove Times said doubtfully:
"Is the other party the long-lost black hunter?"
At this moment, a huge wave of shadows once again hit the coastline.
And somewhere in the distance, a warship broke through the shadow tide and entered the battlefield.
…
…
pier.
Chen Qi took off the Touch of the Remnant Flame, put on ordinary hunter clothes, and joined the large army to resist the Shadow Tide.
The consumption of Ember Touch and Shadow Weaving was too great, and coupled with the previous battle...
At this moment, Chen Qi's physical strength has been completely exhausted.
Although he hated to admit it, he had reached his limit.
The upgraded ember touch is too strong. I can't handle it. I can't handle it at all—
It’s great to be able to achieve this.
Unless the Flower Witch takes out a bottle of brand new super energy potion and restores his overall physical strength, he simply won't have the physical strength to hunt down big shadow monsters with more than 5,000 inspiration points.
Chen Qi counted his gains. He successfully upgraded Touch of the Remnant and Weaving of Shadows, gaining a total of 21,100 inspiration points.
By killing shadow beasts, his rift rating is not as low as the lowest E level, and he conservatively has a skill card.
It can be said that the harvest has been quite rich.
Next, it is just a matter of waiting quietly for the night to end, completing the task of the lantern keeper, and waiting for the final crack to resolve.
but--
Chen Qi held a black knife, mixed in with the group of hunters, and looked at the dense tide of shadow beasts.
At this moment, he was in the center of the battle line, and the total number of hunters and pirates fighting was more than two thousand.
The corpses of shadow beasts on the ground had filled up three full floors. According to conservative estimates, there were three hundred thousand corpses of shadow beasts.
But at present, the shadow beast tide shows no sign of abating.
Can the Poseidon Pirates really survive tonight's tide of shadow beasts?
Chen Qi couldn't help but wonder.
At present, according to the existing information, the fourth-level legendary bishops who came to support the Sea God Pirates have all been targeted by the navy.
That is to say, tonight, the fourth-level legend will not arrive at the battlefield.
As a first-stage B-level rift, Shadow Tide Night's final boss cannot be defeated by an ordinary third-level transcendent without special props.
Sure enough, suddenly, a huge bright red eye emerged from the darkness in the distance!
"Damn it! This guy finally showed up!"
A huge blood-red eyeball appeared above the sea, and above the sea, a huge foot suddenly stepped down, stirring up layer after layer of huge waves.
Chen Qi raised his head and looked at the huge monster in the sky. Above the sea, he could vaguely see a huge figure.
It was a hundred meters tall, with extremely long limbs. Every time it took a step, hundreds of shadow wolves would fall from behind it.
Its body is covered with pure night scales, and on its head is a blood-red eye that exudes endless fear.
The blood-red one-eyed shadow giant!!
Is the final boss of this rift the Shadow Giant... Chen Qi looked at it.
In the Night of Shadow Tide, the most terrifying shadow boss should be the Weaver of Terror, who is formed by the condensation of countless fears.
The Shadow Giant is not that powerful among the B-level rift BOSSes. With large-scale weapons and the combined efforts of third-level transcendents, there is a small chance that he can be defeated.
Simply put, it is a disgrace among B-level rift bosses.
But despite this, the Shadow Giant is still the BOSS, the BOSS of the B-level rift!
Every time the Shadow Giant takes a step, the shock wave it emits will cause huge waves and vibrations on the ground.
Chen Qi raised his head and couldn't help but sigh.
Now, if he faces such a giant alone, he is still too small.
If there are no weapons powerful enough to stop it, half of Poseidon Island will be destroyed.
The appearance of the Shadow Giant means that the battle is coming to an end.
At this moment, the commander of the Blade Book used fierce "battlefield commands" to make his voice heard across the battle line.
"Finally the enemy appears. Five hundred cannons are loaded with explosive fire bombs. The target is within range. Everyone, get ready. Five, four, three, two, one..."
"Fire at me!!"
Boom! At the commander's command, in the blink of an eye, a dazzling column of fire streaked across the night sky, and five hundred powerful explosive bombs swept across a thousand meters and hit the mountain-like body of the Shadow Giant!
Head! Hands! Abdomen!
On the body of the Shadow Giant, it was as if a series of volcanic explosions had occurred, and dark blood flowed down like a waterfall from the explosions.
The incendiary bomb was developed by the Magic Bullet Company and is a weapon specifically designed to deal with sea beasts. It is one of the killer weapons of Poseidon Island.
However, the Shadow Giant seemed to feel no pain at all. Its blood-red single eye stared at the people in the audience, and it took one step, and then another.
The earth is shaking!
The situation took a turn for the worse in an instant.
Faced with the oppressive feeling of the Shadow Giant, the people who were originally fighting with the Shadow Beast began to waver, and the original battle line was instantly torn apart -
Chen Qi casually kicked a shadow wolf to death and looked into the distance.
At this moment, on a distant warship, a figure appeared, like a meteor, flying out from the warship. In the blink of an eye, it created huge waves on the sea surface.
boom!
Above the sea surface, multiple shock waves erupted continuously!
It was like a train on the sea, smashing the shadow tide along the way. The river-like shadow tide on the sea tore open a wound.
"Who is it?"
Chen Qi was puzzled. The other party's aura was at the third level, but the strength he displayed was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary third-level transcendent.
Whether it is the way he walks on the sea or the tremendous power he displays, it is enough to astonish people.
It's even stronger than Melanie.
boom!
With a sonic boom, the figure stopped at the front of everyone on the battle line.
Chen Qi used Shadow Steps to kill the weak Shadow Wolves while moving forward to the front of the battle line, looking curiously at the flying figure.
A sturdy man with a blue energy wrapped around his body slowly opened his blue eyes:
"Sorry, everyone. I'm late. On the way, I ran into a mage and got hurt a little. I wasted some time."
At this moment, the pirates couldn't help but widen their eyes, as if they had welcomed their savior.
"Lord Hagrid! Our blue beast! You're here at last!"
"Hagrid, behind you is the Shadow Giant!"
Hagrid - Chen Qi recalled carefully, this seemed to be the core figure of the Poseidon Pirates, the successor of the Blue Beast, and was also regarded as the future successor of Poseidon Island.
He is also one of the top supernovas in the newspapers, and is hailed as the third-order transcendent with the greatest hope of being promoted to legend.
Didn't this person threaten to kill me for preaching in the newspaper? Chen Qi blinked and suddenly remembered this.
However, at this moment, before Chen Qi’s thoughts could disperse——
boom!
Before everyone could cheer, the Shadow Giant's right foot suddenly stepped on the land and crushed the dock into pieces.
