Chapter 571: Obtaining Samples
Unsurprisingly, as the green pillar of light containing a huge amount of violent spiritual power soared into the sky, the magical light ball that radiated dazzling light in the sky was directly engulfed, allowing the strong light between heaven and earth to quickly dissipate and restore its original color.
However, Zos's purpose of unleashing the "Radiant Radiance" technique had been achieved, and with the striking shadows cast by the bright light on the surface of the lake, he had already escaped the tentacles of the algae mountain trolls and infiltrated the bottom of the lake with little effort.
After arriving in the lake, the strong light in the high altitude will not form a good shadow medium due to the refraction of the lake water, and the dim environment that should have been formed in the depths of the lake due to the refraction of light will also be reduced a lot due to the strong light, which is not conducive to the development of Zoth's shadow stealth ability.
Therefore, Zos didn't care about the behavior of the Zaoshan Trolls behind him to destroy the "Radiant Radiance" technique, which was actually his own will.
After the strong light above the lake subsided, the depths of the lake really became much darker, and the bottom of the lake at least 100 meters deep was so dark that it was impossible to see clearly, which was very bad for the vision of most creatures, but this dark environment was completely like a fish in water for Zos.
The ability to "shadow stealth" can be used in the darker the light, the more powerful it is!
Rumble ......!
After destroying the source of the bright light in the sky, the algae mountain troll under the water quickly spotted the enemy that had broken into the lake and approached its own vicinity, and more vine whips grew on its mountain-like giant body, and whipped it at Zoth mercilessly.
Even in the hundreds of meters deep lake water, the power of these rattan whips did not diminish much, but instead drove a large amount of lake water to form a terrifying undercurrent with this brute force, and swept towards the prey together, similar to the violent wind pressure brought up when attacking in the atmosphere.
If ordinary people were to face these rattan whip attacks with a violent undercurrent, even if they were just lightly touched, they might be swept up by the undercurrent and not be able to distinguish between the east and west, but Zos's way of dealing with it was very simple.
As soon as he just moved, his body turned into a black shadow, disappeared in the blink of an eye, and appeared outside the encirclement of the vine whip attack, and had already approached the side of the main body of the Zao Mountain Troll, and then, without hesitation, he raised his hand and a shadow blade slashed out towards the giant body of the Zao Mountain Troll!
The power of the Shadow Blade had also increased greatly in this dim environment, and with a single pop, a huge wound was cut on the body of the Moyama Troll, which was forty or fifty meters long and more than ten meters deep.
A large amount of foul blood spurted out of the hideous and terrifying wound like a fountain, and in the blink of an eye, it stained a large area of the lake with a filthy color, and made the environment under the lake even darker.
But what made Zos frown was that after the giant body of the Zaoshan Troll only squirmed a few times in pain, the huge wound that was tens of meters long after being cut open actually healed back quickly!
What made Zos frown even more was that, as expected, the closer he got to the Zaoshan Troll, the greater the suppression of his perception range, and now there was only a few hundred meters of detection radius left, and the ability of data scanning was already like this, and other means of perception were even weakened to the extreme.
And in this case, in the face of hundreds or thousands of powers, the vine whip that could easily whip the second-level and ninth-order masters into dead dogs with one blow chased and intercepted, if it weren't for the affinity for the shadow environment that could go freely under this lake, Zos would have been injured a long time ago.
Zoth turned into a shadow, teleporting back and forth in the water while constantly swinging his sharp shadow blade at the algae mountain troll, and he wanted to test the strength of his opponent's regenerative self-healing ability.
One after another shadow blades slashed at the body of the Zao Mountain Troll, beating its giant body into a blur of flesh and blood like Ling Chi, and the viscous blood gradually dyed almost the entire lake black and red, and the rich bloody aura permeated the lake and even floated into the air.
Even if ordinary people smell such a smell in the air, they may already be nauseous to their stomachs, but Zos was directly immersed in the water covered with blood, but his face did not change at all, and his body surface was always filled with a thin layer of shadow and protective layer composed of spiritual power.
It's not that Zos doesn't want to dirty himself, but the dirty blood of this algae mountain monster seems to contain some kind of strange ingredient, and it actually has the same effect on living creatures as a virus infection, Zos doesn't want that strange thing to infect his body, so he can only spend a lot of spiritual power to support such a spiritual shield to protect himself.
With a thud, a rattan whip with a heavy pressure of more than 1,000 tons of water slammed into the mud at the edge of the lake, and the turbulent eddy that exploded almost swept Zoth, who was still not far away.
Thrilling situations like this have occurred more than once.
As time passed, Zos looked at the lake in front of him, which was almost completely stained with blood, and gradually felt strained.
Because he found that his shadow stealth ability was actually getting worse and worse. In the beginning, he could also turn into a shadow and move hundreds of meters away in an instant, but now, he can only teleport to within fifty meters, and the accuracy of his movement has also begun to be disturbed, and errors have gradually begun to appear.
It was because of the shortening of the travel distance and the increasing error that Zos's situation began to become more and more thrilling when facing the attack of the Algae Mountain Troll.
His shadow stealth ability was suppressed when he inflicted a lot of damage on the Zagayama troll, and the other party sprayed a large amount of dirty blood from the wound to infect the lake.
The stained blood was filled with the extremely violent and infective active energy unique to the Zaoshan Troll, which repelled the normal energy of other spirit children in the environment, and weakened the power of other normal creatures in disguise.
This kind of method of suppressing the enemy's power in a certain area can also be achieved by cultivating to a third-level seventh-order or above, but in the hands of a normal third-level seventh-order powerhouse, this ability is formed by the forced interference caused by their powerful cultivation to the surrounding environment, and then formed a prototype like a force field modeled after the power of the fourth-level "domain".
This kind of force field ability is very powerful for the suppression of targets that are weaker than themselves, and it can directly make the third-level masters on the weak side lose the privilege of mobilizing external energy, and even suppress the energy station in their bodies to a certain extent.
Zos is now facing this dilemma, although the Zaoshan Troll is not a normal third-level seventh-order master, but the pollution characteristics of the dirty blood it sprays on the environment have achieved a similar effect to the force field ability of a normal third-level seventh-order master.
Compared with a normal third-level master, even if Zos loses the support of the environment, he can still extract the spiritual power of the sea quantum machine from the submachine network to support his own combat consumption, but he doesn't have to worry about the follow-up.
But his attacks will inevitably be weakened by this environment.
Originally, Zoth's Shadow Blade was enough to cut a terrifying wound hundreds of meters long on the body of the Algae Mountain Troll, but now that the environment has changed, the power of the Shadow Blade has to be weakened by at least three or four layers.
And the vitality of the Zaoshan Troll also made Zos a little helpless, he couldn't remember how many knives he had cut on the other party, but no matter how much dirty blood was sprayed on this thing, the life reaction in his body showed no signs of weakening!
Even, with the best sword played by Zos, it was clear that he had cut the opponent's hundred-meter-sized mountain-like giant body in half, but the Zaoshan troll still looked like it was completely unaffected.
The giant body that had been cut in half was glued together again after just over ten seconds, and it was as healed as before. This tenacious vitality is as difficult as Jiang Yan's slime Xiaobai!
The point is that so far in the fierce battle, Zos has not found the opponent's vital position, judging from the cut wound, this algae mountain troll is a strange monster similar to a hodgepodge of plants formed by the entanglement of countless plant leaves, roots, and vines.
It seems to ...... There is neither brain tissue nor a nervous system or visceral system. There is no clear division of the structure of 'stems, leaves, branches, and roots' that are common in plants, but all types of organs and tissues are mixed together.
It doesn't have the concept of 'critical' at all!
So, no matter what kind of injuries it receives, this algae mountain troll can recover super quickly with its terrifying self-healing and regenerating ability.
In the face of such an enemy who can't win head-on and can't be killed, although Zos still has the strength to survive, he feels more and more reluctant to even maintain self-preservation.
And to Zos's cold state of mind, he couldn't help but be horrified that as his shadow stealth ability was suppressed, the Moyama Trolls were able to capture his location more accurately. As a result, this thing actually began to condense a huge amount of spiritual power directly at such a close distance between the two sides under the lake, intending to release the kind of spiritual power cannon that should have been used for long-range sniping!
Through his barely effective data scanning capabilities, Zos saw through the turbid waters of the lake, which were stained with the blood of the Trolls, that the Trolls manipulated the countless plant tissues that made up its body, gathered and transformed into the muzzles of huge cylinder-like black holes and pointed them at himself. Inside the muzzle, a dazzling green aura lit up at an extremely fast speed.
At such a close distance, the incomparably huge spiritual pressure fluctuation, even if he didn't deliberately perceive it, Zos could clearly detect it, which made his cold face can't help but look stunned.
This guy actually dares to carry out such an artillery bombardment at such a close distance, is he not afraid of implicating himself!?
Jiang Yan has been observing the battle situation through the link of the network, fortunately, although the invisible force field on the scene has suppressed the perception ability very much, the effect of the submachine link of the data ability has not been significantly affected, and it can be played normally.
Seeing the situation facing Zos, Jiang Yan immediately accepted the order when he saw it: [Hmm...... Zos, it's all right here, retreat. 】
Zos, who got the order, ran away without hesitation, he was not stupid enough to leave in a normal way, after all, the terrifying bombardment of the Zaoshan Trolls was already in front of him, and the shadow stealth had been suppressed, and he didn't have time to run away in a normal way.
Therefore, Zos's body suddenly fell silent, and the whole body began to transform into an illusory silver streamer composed of wisps of data code at an extremely fast speed.
In the end, before the spiritual cannon of the Zaoshan Troll came over, Zos disappeared into this murky lake in time with the help of the network of sub-machines through digital transmission.
The next moment he disappeared, the entire lake erupted in a blue-green glow, and then there was a sudden shock.
Boom——!!!
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and an explosion far beyond Jiang Yan's initial attack erupted from the center of the Devil's Oasis, and the terrifying spiritual power turned into a storm of energy that destroyed everything, engulfing the entire center of the Devil's Oasis, and the aftermath of the circle spread out, crushing everything on the surface of the nearby ground into powder, and turning into a violent hurricane and sweeping farther away.
Even if the power has diminished a lot after spreading far, the soldiers' camp outside the oasis is still greatly affected, the strong shaking of the ground and the hurricane that is enough to blow down the three-story stone buildings are coming, if the soldiers had not received the order to stabilize the buildings in the camp with the strength of a large number of earth magicians, and set up a large protective barrier in the camp, I am afraid that there will be dead and injured in the camp at this time.
Jiang Yan sat at the top of a lookout stone tower in the camp, watching the spectacular mushroom cloud that rose thousands of meters tall from the depths of the distant oasis after the explosion gradually subsided, and his face twitched.
"Tsk, this brainless monster really dares to blow himself up......"
However, considering the terrifying regeneration ability of the Algae Mountain Troll, this seemingly end-to-end battle style doesn't seem too strange.
"In other words, the big lake in the center of the oasis that covers an area of several kilometers is not the one that it blew up by itself before, right?" Eighty percent of the masters of the empire had also fought against the algae mountain trolls in the past, and with its style, it was very likely.
"I don't know if the masters of the empire at that time capsized?" Jiang Yan guessed very maliciously in his heart.
"Lord. At this time, the silver data stream appeared out of thin air in the air around Jiang Yan, and in the blink of an eye, the appearance of Zos was condensed.
"Well, welcome back safely. Jiang Yan turned his head to look at him, greeted him with a smile, and then asked with a little expectation, "Have you got the sample back?"
"Fortunately, I was not dishonored. Zos nodded, raised his hand, and a black ball of spiritual power appeared in his palm.
He lifted the shadow seal of spiritual power on the top, and the black spiritual power shield immediately dissipated, revealing a mass of flesh that was oozing out with a trace of dark red dirty blood, and the whole body of the epidermis was dark green and was constantly wriggling and struggling.
