While chatting just now, the orc guard happened to mention that there was a large group of wild bulls living in the underground valley in the south of the mine.
His two brothers were patrolling near the valley and have not returned yet.
If nothing unexpected happened, the bull must have been alarmed, and it was sprayed to death before it could escape, turning into cold stone.
The so-called "barbarian bull" also has a common name, called "petrified bull".
This bull-like monster spews out green poisonous smoke that can petrify the flesh and blood of living things.
You don't even need to inhale the toxic smoke; just skin contact will cause rapid dehydration and petrification.
The Barbarian Bull has a strong physique and is covered in iron armor, like a living tank!
A pair of bull horns, equivalent to a level 2 enchanted weapon.
The talent is "Iron Will", which makes him very resistant to mental magic.
The combat power of an adult petrified bull is comparable to that of a late-stage third-order violent warlock!
The leader of the cattle herd, his strength is no less than the early fourth level!
There are nearly a hundred cattle living in the southern valley!
Even the dungeon lord Akuma would be wary of such a large group of terrifying monsters.
Alan is not too afraid of the petrified bull that Akuma fears.
How toxic is the petrifying gas spewed by the barbarian bull?
As long as the poison does not exceed level 6, he is immune!
Hunt down a lone bull, use its bone spurs to absorb the petrifying toxin, and then you can synthesize it yourself, thereby breaking the regenerative physique of Akuma and the troll!
This idea is worth a try!
Alan returned to the barracks and told the three swan sisters his thoughts.
Details such as bone spurs and venom glands are omitted.
He only said that he had a way to extract petrifying toxins from the wild bull's body to restrain Akuma's regenerative physique.
The three sisters had no objection.
The four of them disguised themselves as orcs as usual and left the camp under the pretext of patrolling the southern mining area.
In order to facilitate traveling in the dark and rugged environment, I went to the animal stable to pick up a mount.
The mounts in the underground world mainly include spiders and lizards.
Few humans, except dark elves, are capable of taming the giant mutant spiders, so lizards are a safer choice.
These lizards, which are as big as horses, have been tamed and docile, and with matching saddles, the feeling of riding them is similar to riding horses.
Alan and the three Swan sisters rode lizards and ran in the underground tunnels.
Lizards have suction cups on their feet, so they can easily climb steep rock walls.
Riding on this group of large lizards that were good at long-distance running, it only took three hours to reach the underground valley a hundred miles south of the dungeon.
The four men dismounted their mounts at the valley entrance, tied the reins to a rock pillar, and persuaded the lizards to wait there.
A wide underground river flows out of the canyon, providing precious water for this dark underworld.
In the Underdark, clean water is the most precious resource.
Where there is water, there is life.
There are dense mushroom circles and large patches of phosphorescent moss growing on both sides of the stream, which are the favorite foods of the barbarian bull.
Large groups of wild cattle settled in the valleys because it was convenient for them to obtain food and clean water.
Before entering the ravine, Allen began to "detect toxins."
In the underdark, poisonous creatures are everywhere.
In any inconspicuous mushroom cluster on the roadside, there are six or seven kinds of poisonous mushrooms.
In order to eliminate interference and improve detection efficiency, Allen slightly changed the spell configuration to only respond to toxins above level 4.
Petrotoxin, the most dangerous of all toxins, is unlikely to be lower than level 4.
Alan led the three swan girls and walked along the river beach with light steps.
Not far away, I saw a blurry human-shaped stone statue lying on the river bank.
Looking closer, one can vaguely make out the features of an orc.
Apparently, this is the missing dungeon patrolman.
The orc's terrified expression before death was frozen vividly, like an exquisitely crafted stone sculpture.
The stone statue's hands and feet were incomplete, and judging from the cross-section, they looked like they had been eaten by wild beasts.
Alan remembered what the orc guards said, that in addition to mushrooms and mosses, the wild bulls would occasionally eat rocks as snacks.
Their petrified victims are often gnawed beyond recognition.
While observing the statue, Alan suddenly received an alarm.
A level 6 toxic reaction was detected within a hundred meters ahead!
In addition, the system can also detect the scent of specific ingredients!
At the edge of the valley, there lived a dozen bison-like monsters, covered in thick steel-blue metal plate armor, with green smoke coming out of their mouths and noses.
Alan stood on a towering stalagmite overlooking the herd and soon spotted a particularly strong bull.
The body length is over five meters and the shoulder height is three meters.
The plate armor that fits tightly to the body surface is blue with a hint of purple, solid and thick, and is shiny from the oil that seeps through the skin!
It seems that this is the first cow, the leader among the petrified cows.
The petrified cattle live in the valleys in family units, with the strongest adult bull as the leader.
The rest of the family members include the spouse of the head cow and any minor children.
The group that Alan saw consisted of one male and six females, plus eight calves, which was a medium-sized bull family.
There are more than a dozen similar settlements deep in the valley.
It was too dangerous to go deeper into the valley.
Alan decided to target the nearest group of bulls.
The bull is very alert.
The cows, in particular, pricked up their ears and kept a close eye on any movement around them.
The calves, under the protection of their parents, gathered by the river and played.
Occasionally drink some water and nibble on plump and juicy mushrooms.
It seems that there is little chance of catching a lone bull.
Alan observed the terrain of the valley and made a plan in his mind.
He returned to the swan girls and whispered his plan.
The three sisters nodded frequently.
Following Alan's suggestion, they used the "entanglement technique" and "grease technique" to set traps in the narrowest part of the valley.
"Tyávé!"
Alan used the third-level "Liquid Alchemy" through the trap to transform part of the stream water into the nectar of the "Flower Fairy Queen" Elona.
A hundred meters away, in the shallows where cattle gathered, the stream exuded a strong aroma of nectar.
The first cow and the four cows around it smelled something wrong and immediately mooed and roared to warn.
But it was too late.
The calves that drank the water were poisoned and collapsed on the riverbank one after another.
The cow glared angrily, looked around, and soon noticed the stranger.
It lowered its head, raised a pair of huge and sharp horns, and rushed towards Allen and others!
Alan did not hesitate and continued to cast another magic.
"Yanta!"
A magical light enveloped the bull that was running wildly.
The sturdy bull disappeared on the spot, and appeared the next second on a stalactite hanging down from the underground dome 60 meters away.
Using the 2nd-level magic "Teleport", Alan forced the cow to exchange positions with a moth lying on the stalactite.
A tiny moth can cling to the smooth stalactites, but a bull weighing more than five tons cannot do this!
Snap!
The stalactite broke on the spot.
The first cow let out a long wail and fell straight down from a great height in a free fall!
With a bang, he fell heavily into a forest of stalagmites.
Each stalagmite looks like an inverted spear.
In an instant, a large number of people were knocked down by the wild bull that fell from the sky!
The hard and heavy armor protected the cow from being stabbed by the stalactites, but it also caused it to suffer even greater injuries from falling, causing it to spit blood from its mouth and become unconscious.
The four female bulls also roared and rushed towards the invaders!
After running a few steps, they collectively ran into the trap set by the three swan sisters.
The two cows in the front slipped and fell into the greasy trap.
The two cows that arrived later had their hooves entangled by the activated vines and were unable to move.
The cows were anxious and angry!
It spewed green smoke containing petrifying toxins towards the three swan girls on the other side of the trap.
"Súré!"
The three swan sisters were prepared.
The fourth sister and the sixth sister cast the 2nd level "Wind Creation" together.
With a slight wave of her white hand, she summoned a strong wind out of thin air, blowing the billowing green smoke back.
The eldest swan daughter then fired a shot of "flash dust", which made the cows close their eyes in pain and lower their heads.
The three sisters used preset traps and magic to successfully separate the herd and temporarily control the situation.
The trap can only temporarily block the petrified cow, and it will be broken through before long.
The three sisters are all wearing magic feather clothes. If the situation gets bad, they can turn into swans and fly away at any time.
The success or failure of the hunt depends on Alan.
He must seize the opportunity created by the three sisters and kill the bull as soon as possible!
Heavy breathing sounds were heard from the broken stalagmite forest.
The first cow broke one of its legs. It supported itself and climbed up, limping back.
A tall young man blocked the way.
The furious bull's eyes were bloodshot, and its mouth opened wide, spewing a stream of green smoke towards Alan!
Surrounded by petrified toxic smoke, Alan remained calm.
The upper body is naked, and the skin has a healthy bronze color, without any signs of petrification.
The Taotie system had already measured the level of petrified toxic smoke.
Allen's level 6 poison resistance is just enough to make him immune to level 6 petrifying poison.
Hound pace!
Advance at high speed!
Alan rushed out of the smoke curtain like a nimble cheetah.
He rushed to the cow in an instant and slapped it on the head!
boom!
Thunder roared in the underground dome shrouded in darkness.
The first cow stumbled back and almost fell.
A large blood-red handprint was sunken on his forehead.
The purple plate armor on the head showed tiny cracks.
Alan looked down at his palms which were numb from the shock, his expression solemn.
Even with all his strength, the "Exploding Palm" attack was unable to smash the bull's head!
The defensive power of the Barbarian Bull is comparable to that of the Shark Lizard!
Natural iron armor is similar to beast armor and has the special effect of reducing damage.
Alan's bare hands are equivalent to a first-level enchanted weapon.
The inability to penetrate the armor indicates that at least a level 2 enchanted weapon is needed to stably penetrate the Barbarian Bull's armor.
Moo——
The mad bull rushed forward, dragging its injured leg.
Boom!
Alan was like a scarecrow, being knocked flying by the bull's horns, falling more than ten meters away and smashing a large area of ​​stalagmites.
Snap!
Alan stood up calmly from the pile of rocks.
The body, which was blessed with "soft bones and flesh armor", did not have a single scar.
In the head-on collision just now, the bull's physical attribute was measured to be around 33 points, 2 points higher than his normal form.
"I have already figured out your strength. It's time to end this game."
The third stage of atavism - the giant form of the magic leopard!
In the blink of an eye, Alan's height doubled!
A giant with a leopard head and a human body stands in the stalagmite forest.
His emerald eyes looked particularly cold in the darkness.
The bull, with red eyes, rushed forward again.
Alan, the ancestor of the past, slowly stretched out his hands.
Bang!
A pair of huge hands firmly grasped the bull's horns.
With a sudden force, he knocked the bull to the ground!
In the ancestral state, Allen's physical attribute is as high as 37, and his size also surpasses that of the bull.
The leopard-headed giant wrestled with the angry bull and easily overpowered him!
Allen held the bull's horns with one hand and forced the bull to lie on its side.
Free up your left hand and gather your magic power.
The bull sensed danger, and began to moo and struggle desperately.
However, in vain!
No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break free from the grip of Alan, the ancestor.
"Little Niu Niu, die!"
With a roar, the leopard-headed giant killed the enemy!
The huge fist hit the bull's forehead.
Bone shattering!!
With a roar, the armor on the bull's head was smashed to pieces by Alan's punch!
The cow was hit by a punch and the tissues inside its brain were severely impacted, causing it to faint on the spot.
Alan spread out his left palm and pressed down the bull's head that was bleeding profusely.
puff!
A bone spur popped out from the palm of my hand.
It penetrated through the broken armor, stabbed deep into the crack of the skull, and stirred wildly!
The bull's brain was stirred into a mess.
This powerful monster died in a coma.
Alan contracts his venom glands and absorbs the level 6 petrifying toxin in the bull's body.
At the same time, toxin resistance finally broke through the limit again and reached level 7!
Alan licked his lips, his heart burning with heat!
The bone spur penetrated deeply into the body of the wild bull, and continued to suck blood after petrifying the poison!
His venom gland evolved a new ability not long ago - blood extraction!
The blood sucked from the wild bull's body is extracted through the venom gland, and the blood essence extracted is equivalent to a blood awakening agent.
If you inject one dose into a person, there is a chance that the blood of the wild bull will be awakened!
The growth of the physique and natural armor of the Barbarian Bull Blood Warlock is top-notch!
When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can evolve into a powerful skill that can spit out petrifying poisonous smoke.
Alan himself cannot use the blood of the Barbarian Bull, but he can provide it as a heritage resource to outstanding disciples in his own martial arts school.
Besides, he didn't forget his senior sister.
Tanya's giant-horned minotaur bloodline is highly compatible with the wild bull bloodline.
After all, you can’t write two “牛” characters with one stroke.
The fusion of the two is likely to evolve into a new bloodline that is comparable to the Poisonous Leopard Man!
In addition to blood and toxins, there are two special ingredients in the barbarian bull!
The group of cows on the opposite side are about to break through the trap.
Alan didn't have time to sort out the spoils. He just picked up the dead cow and called on the three swan sisters to retreat!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Alan uses the "Phantom Step" to teleport continuously!
The figure flickered and quickly disappeared.
The three sisters collectively transformed into swans, avoiding the sharp stalactites hanging from the dome of the stone wall above, and flew low following Alan's back.
Soon, the angry herd of cattle was left out of sight.
…
Underground cave.
A ball of magical light floated in the air, illuminating four faces.
The three swan sisters sat against the wall, their three pairs of beautiful eyes staring at Alan who was dissecting the bull's corpse.
There was curiosity and surprise in his eyes.
Allen used his palms to wield the "Steel Ripping Rake" and used his hands as knives to dissect the bull with ease.
With a "swish" sound, flesh and bones were separated!
Large pieces of metal armor plates were peeled off from the wild bull. They were half an inch thick and were excellent materials for making magical armor.
The horns of the barbarian bull are also good things. They can be used directly as weapons, which are equivalent to a pair of scimitars with level 2 enchanted special effects!
Alan stripped off the armor on the bull, grabbed the bull's horns, and started dissecting the beef.
The large piece of flesh that had been cut off was put directly into the mouth and chewed while it was still hot.
The taste of beef is similar to that of ordinary beef.
The meat is harder and very tough.
Alan cut off a few pieces and asked the swan girls to taste them.
None of the three sisters mind eating raw meat.
Unfortunately, their teeth were not as good as Alan's and they couldn't chew such hard meat.
In the end, I could only spit out the beef tendon that had been chewed into rubber.
Alan cut open the cow's belly and cut off the hot liver in one piece.
This is the softest organ on the barbarian bull, and even the swan girl's pearly teeth can chew it.
The three sisters shared a piece of beef liver and were full.
Alan doesn't know what "full" means.
Under the increasingly horrified gazes of the three sisters, he devoured the beef like whirlwind.
In the end, all that was left was a pile of bones and intestines that were difficult to clean.
At the same time, a series of system prompts came into my mind.
"Eat special ingredients: petrified beef!"
"Potential +1!"
"Physique +1!"
"Eat special ingredients: petrified cow's basal blood vessels!"
"Potential +2!"
"Physique +1!"
Current attributes: 33 physique, 26 agility, 42 spirit
Potential reserve: 13
…
Eat a cow and increase your physical attributes by two points, plus 3 potential points!
Alan licked his lips, still unsatisfied.
It's a pity that the conditions do not allow it, otherwise the beef tripe and intestines could be washed and cooked in hot pot, which would also be a delicious dish.
He sighed and injected digestive fluid to dissolve the remaining bones and internal organs and eliminate all traces.
"Alan, we never realized you were such a big eater before, it's really scary!"
The fourth Swan sister exclaimed in amazement.
Allen smiled awkwardly: "When we first met, my table manners were so bad that I was afraid you would laugh at me. Now that we are familiar with each other, it doesn't matter anymore."
At this moment, a ball of communication light suddenly appeared in the air.
The sixth sister, who was closest to the light ball, raised her hand to read the letter, a look of joy on her face.
"It was sent by my second sister!"
"What did the letter say?" the fourth sister asked anxiously, "How are the second sister and the others now?"
"Strange, how did Second Sister know we were in the Underdark?"
The eldest sister frowned in confusion.
If they were not in the Underdark, even with the arcane mark to extend the range, it would be almost impossible for them to receive the "telepathy" with a very limited communication distance.
"My second sister said in the letter that she didn't know where we were or whether we were safe. She just sent the letter as a test as usual."
The sixth sister answered the eldest sister's question.
"My second sister and the others would secretly send us letters every day without the knowledge of the devil Akuma, hoping to get a reply..."
Speaking of this, the emotional Sixth Sister couldn't help but choke up.
The fourth sister held her hand and comforted her to calm her down.
He turned his head to look at his eldest sister and Allen, his eyes full of excitement.
"The second sister dared to send a letter, which shows that the Akuma is not around to monitor them!"
"This is a rare opportunity. Let's write her back and tell her that we are trying to rescue them!"
"Don't rush to reply, I need to think about it." The eldest swan daughter turned around and asked Alan in a low voice, "What do you think?"
"You can reply, just as Fourth Sister said, but don't reveal our location." Alan murmured.
After the sixth sister replied, she soon received a letter from the second sister.
"Second sister wants to know where we are hiding now and whether it is safe!"
"Tell your second sister that we are all in the same place and we are safe!" said the eldest sister calmly.
"Uh, big sister, what is the 'old place'?" The sixth sister's eyes were full of question marks.
"Don't worry about it. Just reply and see what my second sister says next." The eldest swan daughter said calmly.
After receiving the reply from her second sister, the sixth sister became even more confused.
"Strange, my second sister didn't ask where it was specifically."
The eldest sister smiled thoughtfully and looked at Alan.
Alan nodded slightly.
In fact, he didn't know where the "old place" was.
However, both parties in the communication pretended to know such a place.
Swan Second Daughter, the two issues that should be of most concern at present:
One is whether the three sisters who are on the run are safe.
The second was how he and his three captured sisters could escape.
As for where the eldest sister, fourth sister and sixth sister are, it doesn’t matter.
Why should she waste precious communication opportunities and ask about these trivial details?
The only person who really cares about this matter... is Akuma!
If she continued to ask questions, it would seem too suspicious.
"My second sister asked me what to do next?" The sixth sister continued to pass on the message.
"Let the four sisters feed Akuma a drug of love and beg him to take them to the Saddle Lake to bathe."
Alan took his time to offer advice.
"We will set up an ambush at the lakeside in advance, raid Akuma, and rescue the four sisters in the chaos."
The sixth sister nodded and replied quickly.
A moment later, another magical message was received.
"My second sister asked me if we had called for reinforcements. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the three of us to fight against the Akuma, let alone save people."
"Tell her that the reinforcements are coming from New Quint Town. In addition to myself, there are also 'Koala' Baker and 'Electric Pig' Hogg, as well as the town's militia, who will participate in the ambush."
"Uh... wait a minute! Didn't Baker and Hogg go on a long trip?" The fourth sister looked at Allen in surprise.
"Fourth sister, don't interrupt. Just do as Alan said and write back to second sister!" said the eldest swan daughter in a deep voice.
"OK!"
The sixth sister performed her duties conscientiously and acted as a messenger.
"Big sister! Second sister replied, good news!"
"Akuma promised to take them to the south shore of Saddleback Lake for a trip next Monday morning!"
"Well done!" The fourth sister clapped her hands excitedly.
Allen stood up and said to the three sisters:
"I'm afraid it's not safe here anymore, let's go!"
The four of them left the mine, rode on lizards, and returned to the Undergate Castle safely.
Alan didn't plan to stay here for long.
Before leaving Dimenbao, I asked my sixth sister to write a letter to my second sister, saying that she was going to New Quint Town to seek refuge and would contact me again next Monday.
The second sister wrote back saying that she would follow his arrangements and looked forward to escaping the predicament as soon as possible and reuniting with her sisters.
Alan did not reply, and left the Dimenburg overnight with his three sisters.
The three sisters turned into swans, and Alan rode a griffin and flew directly to the new town of Quint.
There are still two days until the agreed date.
Before that, Allen must hurry up and deploy his troops.
The entire ambush operation plan was planned to be foolproof.
…
Two days later.
The lakeside is covered with green grass in early spring.
The weather was fine and the sky was clear.
After nine o'clock in the morning, four swans flew over the southern sky.
Behind the swan, there were thirteen ferocious flying dragons.
The swan and the flying dragon landed on the lake one after another.
Four swans transformed into girls wearing feather cloaks.
Thirteen flying dragons, each carrying a rider on its back.
Akuma, the dungeon lord, was the first to jump off the dragon's back.
Soon after, twelve troll guards also jumped off the dragon's back.
The four swan girls were not in a hurry to take off their clothes and go into the water. They stood by the lake, looking around, their faces unable to hide their nervousness.
"Strange, why haven't the elder sister and the others shown up yet..."
The Swan Daughter murmured to herself.
The akuma patted her shoulder and smiled faintly.
"It's okay, I can ask them to come out."
He turned and looked towards the bushes by the lake, his eyes full of contempt.
"Stop hiding, come out now!"
There was a rustling sound in the woods.
Alan came out with the three swan sisters, followed by Kaili, Sora, Angie and Renee.
Immediately afterwards, a group of militiamen and martial arts disciples walked out of the woods!
"It seems that you already knew there was an ambush by the lake."
Alan's gaze passed the ogre wizard and fell on the face of the swan daughter.
The second swan daughter's pretty face turned slightly pale. She bit her lip and lowered her head to avoid his sight.
"Little sweetheart, aren't you happy to see your old lover?"
Akuma had a malicious smile on his face, and in front of Alan, he deliberately took the second swan daughter into his arms.
It was as if he wanted to arouse his jealousy in this way to avenge the shame of his previous misfortune in the Swan Cave.
Alan saw his intention and couldn't help but laugh.
"My dear, don't you want to say a few words to your sisters?"
Akuma couldn't see the look of jealous madness in anticipation on Allen's face, so he pushed the swan daughter forward.
I hope to see the expressions of surprise and grief on the faces of the eldest, fourth and sixth swan daughters after being betrayed.
The second swan daughter bit her lower lip hard, gritted her teeth, and greeted the three sisters opposite her who had unfriendly expressions.
"Eldest sister, fourth sister, sixth sister...Actually, Master Akuma is not as bad as you think."
"During this period, he took care of me and my three sisters, and we lived a pretty good life."
"Akuma-sama has already seen through your plot, but he still dared to bring us here for a date, which shows that he is fearless!"
"You three, stop resisting in vain."
"Instead of asking for trouble, it is better to submit to Master Akuma and reunite the sisters..."
"Second sister! You must be crazy!" Sixth sister couldn't help but interrupt her, "When you sent me the letter before, was it because of that devil Akuma that you were coercing us to take the bait?"
The Swan Daughter shook her head slightly.
"That was my own free will... Sixth sister, everything is within the plan of Master Akuma, so stop struggling."
The eldest swan daughter held the sixth sister's hand and signaled her not to get excited.
"It's abnormal for my second sister to say these things that go against her nature!"
"Most likely, the Akuma cast a charm spell on him and controlled his mind. This was not his own will."
Alan feels the same way.
Back then at the top of Shark Fin Peak, Akuma used the 4th ring "Monster Charm" to subdue Chimera.
The same method can also be used on the swan girl.
"Haha... the beauty trap is indeed a good strategy."
Akuma remained calm and composed while being surrounded by people.
"It's a pity that your calculations are still not thorough enough."
"In fact, I had already guessed your conspiracy. Why do you think I pretended to fall into your trap?"
"Perhaps you are overconfident and think that with your own strength, you can completely outmaneuver us and capture us all in one fell swoop, and also capture the three swan girls who escaped."
Alan continued what he said.
"Young man, you have a little cleverness, but not much."
Akuma stood with his hands behind his back, a sneer on his face.
"'Overconfident' is a very fitting description for you!"
The dungeon lord raised his right hand and shot a flash of magic into the sky.
Suddenly, from the dense forest in the distance, there were the howling of wolves.
A large group of orc bandits rushed out of the woods riding on wolves.
The leading orc knight is none other than the dungeon lord's top general, "Flame Axe" Akira!
"Little friend, does this surprise give you a little shock?"
Akuma smiled smugly.
"Knowing that you set an ambush here, how could I be completely defenseless?"
"Back in Swan Cave, I suffered a loss due to my carelessness."
"Smart people don't make the same mistake."
"Don't pretend. I know you have two helpers. I heard their nicknames are 'Koala' and 'Electric Pig'?"
"Let them come out. I have an old score to settle with them!"
Akuma said so much, but seeing that Eren had no reaction, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed that no one was supporting his show-off.
"Why, you're still reluctant to play these last two cards?"
"Akuma, what are you talking about in your sleep!"
Behind Alan, there was a sudden sneer from a young woman.
The Silver Moon Security Team, dressed as militiamen, led by three captains, walked out of the crowd and came to Alan.
Adam, George, and Maria, the "Lion Sister" who had just mocked Akuma, all released their "disguise" and revealed their true faces.
"Baker and Hogg left Silvermoon Island a week ago and missed today's event."
Sister Lion crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes were fiery and her fighting spirit was high.
"But it doesn't matter. The three of us are enough to make up for the two of them."
Shortly after Maria was promoted, Adam and George also successfully broke through the bottleneck and their cultivation level was raised to the early stage of the fourth level.
Any one of them is worth Baker and Hogg combined.
"Filling a vacancy" is really an overly modest statement.
Akuma's smile faded, and his gaze returned to Eren's face, his eyes becoming particularly sinister.
"Boy, I seem to have underestimated you. I have to say, you are more cunning than I thought."
"In fact , Alan and I became suspicious from the moment my second sister sent the first letter."
The eldest swan daughter said in a deep voice.
"We suspected at the time that the second sister might have been coerced by you to send a letter to find out where we were."
"During the subsequent communication, Allen and I specifically tested the second sister, and the result was as expected."
"As a dignified dungeon lord, how could you be so easily bewitched by women and easily agree to take them out for a trip?"
"If the fish bites the hook too quickly, it will look suspicious."
"From that moment on, we concluded that this was a conspiracy!"
"You thought you were outwitting them, but you didn't know that we were also deliberately setting up a trap!"
"You thought your opponents would be Allen, Baker and Hogg. This was a good opportunity to avenge the defeat at Swan Cave."
“Little do they know that our real trump cards are actually the three chief disciples of the Silver Moon Monastery who are stronger than Baker and Hogg!”
"One against three, even you don't stand much chance of winning!"
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"
The Akuma clapped and laughed.
"Your conspiracy, real and fake, is linked together. It deserves my praise as brilliant!"
"But then again, three early-stage fourth-level warriors are your trump cards? Isn't that a little shabby?"
"With just the three of them, they can only stop me for a short while at most."
"Perhaps you think that by delaying this time, you can get rid of my guards and Akira's wolf riders, and then free up manpower to besiege me?"
"This tactic does make sense, but..."
The akuma smiled and wagged his finger.
"But you still think the problem is too simple."
"Your calculations were all within my expectations. In the end, I am still the better one!"
"What do you mean?" Sister Lion's face changed slightly.
"Hehe...this is Saddle Lake, right?"
Akuma stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast expanse of the lake, and said as if no one was around:
"You seem to have forgotten one thing."
"The waters north of Ma'an Lake have been the territory of the Water Naga tribe since ancient times."
"The queen of the Water Naga tribe has already formed an alliance with me."
"In my life, I have always been cautious and have made every possible effort!"
"Before I set out today, I have contacted the Naga Queen and asked her to hide in the lake and help me when necessary."
"Of course there is a price to pay for inviting the Naga Queen to take action."
"The bad news is that the price is very high. The good news is that I don't have to pay it."
Akuma slowly turned around and looked at Alan with a half-smile.
"My friends, in just one year, you have made New Quint Town a thriving business. That's great!"
"Thank you for your hard work this year."
"After today, you can rest."
"Kill you all, and the Naga Queen and I will jointly rule the New Quint Town."
"Would the new place name 'Akuma Town' sound more appropriate?"
"In case you don't know, let me just mention that the Naga Queen's cultivation is comparable to mine."
"We have two early-stage fifth-level players here. Excuse me, what can you use to fight me?!"
"Naga Queen?"
Alan raised his eyebrows, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"Akuma, you are not making this up, using the name of the Naga Queen to try to scare us off, are you?"
"Ah, look at you, you are still young and short-sighted!"
Akuma sighed solemnly, his eyes full of mockery.
"Trying to deceive yourself when you are about to die, is that interesting?"
"You want to know if I'm bluffing? It's actually very simple."
"I'll clap my hands three times, and the Naga Queen will appear."
"However, there is a price to pay for questioning those in power. After that, the first person I will kill is you!"
After saying that, Akuma raised his hands and clapped them three times in front of Alan and the others.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Crisp applause echoed over the lakeshore.
Apart from the echo, there was silence.
Both teams held their breath nervously.
However, as time goes by...
The tense atmosphere was gradually replaced by doubt.
The echo of Akuma's high fives had fallen silent.
The lake remained calm.
Where is the Naga Queen?!
Akuma's face twitched slightly.
What's happening?!
This is different from what he agreed with the Naga Queen...
Alan couldn't help but laugh.
"Akuma, maybe the Naga Queen fell asleep and didn't hear it."
"How about you clap your hands again? Maybe he'll hear it this time."
Akuma's facial muscles.
From slight twitching to severe twisting.
He doesn't believe in evil!
Restraining the embarrassment and shame, I clapped my hands three more times!
This time, his hands turned red from clapping.
The applause was particularly loud.
The lake remained calm.
The Naga Queen lurking at the bottom of the lake did not respond to his call at all.
What is going on? !
The applause echoed in vain above the lake, as if it was a loud slap in the face.
The dungeon lord felt extremely embarrassed, and at the same time, he also had a strong sense of foreboding.
I'm afraid something big is going to happen!!
"Look, I told you you were bragging, and it turned out to be true."
Alan smiled and raised his hand.
"Your work doesn't work, let me do it instead."
Snap! Snap! Snap!
He also high-fived three times.
As if responding to the crisp applause...
boom!!
The surface of the lake exploded and huge waves surged into the sky.
The tiger-headed giant breaks through the waves!
The White Tiger Martial Lord stood on the water.
A head full of silver hair, dancing wildly in the wind!
Three feet high above the head, there is a holy halo!
"What 'Naga Queen'?"
Master Shiva picked up a limp Naga and swung it casually as if it were just a dead snake.
"Is this the little water snake you are talking about?"
"She tried to stir up trouble just now, but I killed her easily."
"Any questions?"
