Chapter 129 The entire audience is shocked! The final boss, Lu Yu! (Seeking monthly votes)
Inside the Tower of Beasts, the remaining people were also shocked by what they saw. If the barrier was activated like this, wouldn't they fall directly onto the head of the alien?
What if there's a giant anomaly inside? Wouldn't it be like just opening its mouth and waiting for takeout to arrive?
A peak-level Beastmaster leading a battle group couldn't help but ask:
"President Situ, are you sure this is alright?"
After all, he brought with him the elite seeds of the battle group this time. Dying in battle is acceptable, since it is a personal choice. But if he dies in such a ridiculous way, it would be too frustrating.
Don't worry.
Situ Kong calmly poured a cup of coffee from his female secretary, added a piece of milk candy, stirred it gently with a spoon, took a sip, and couldn't help but frown. Sure enough... coffee should be drunk plain!
With the idea of not wasting anything in his mouth, he forced himself to drink the entire cup of milk coffee in one gulp, and said leisurely:
"This anomaly is a bit different. Even if you want to see it, it may not be willing to see you. You need to pass a test."
Besides, the sooner we see it, the sooner we can get the artifact, right? Otherwise, what are you here for? A kindergarten field trip?
Everyone was speechless, and the members of several battle groups were also red-faced and dared not say anything more.
If they admit it, wouldn't that prove they're just a bunch of cowards who only want to take advantage of others?
In contrast, the priestesses of the Church of Thorns remained remarkably calm, closing their eyes to experience the torture of the thorns, enduring constant pain, without showing any concern for their chosen saintess candidate, or rather,
In their view...
The world is a great crucible of suffering; enduring hardship and striving to survive is a form of spiritual training.
Self-destruction is considered a cowardly act, not permitted by doctrine, and will be rejected by thorns.
Only those who cherish life can forge an immortal soul and bear the pain of all things, but if it is due to force majeure... then they can be considered to have escaped the sea of suffering.
"Lu Yu, you brat, you need to work harder..."
Zhou Cheng also looked on expectantly, holding high hopes for Lu Yu. If he could obtain a suitable fantasy item, his future would be bright.
In this way, the families of all the fallen comrades in the original squad can be taken care of, and he can go to the Primordial Spirit Sea to advance to the Morning Star level with peace of mind, and then... complete the mission he was on back then.
Let's put an end to everything.
Chi Chi!
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, they suddenly heard the sound of electricity coming from the side. They turned around in confusion and found that Situ Kong was already leaning back in a recliner, with a small table next to him, leisurely enjoying his coffee.
As for the female secretary... she brought over some high-end coffee beans and was grinding them non-stop, looking utterly hopeless.
This is worse than being sexually harassed!
Maybe it won't be that tiring!
Actually, she had asked this question before, but Situ Kong only asked with a puzzled look, "Are you more fragrant than coffee?"
That left her completely speechless!
This guy, he'll spend the rest of his life with coffee!
Situ Kong didn't care at all. An electric screen appeared in front of him, showing a scene from another place, where the twenty challengers who had just disappeared appeared.
In other words...
This is inside the barrier!
Everyone was stunned. Could this really be broadcast live?
Sensing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Situ Kong took a sip of his rich black coffee, a slight smile appearing on his face, and calmly said:
"Although we can't get into the barrier, it's not difficult to put together a live broadcast. We can watch a short show during our afternoon coffee break."
Why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you leave us waiting here like fools?
Hard!
The fist has hardened!
If they weren't outmatched by this coffee-themed jinchūriki, everyone would have already been tempted to overturn the coffee machine.
In the end, everyone abandoned the dangerous idea that they might be turned into human coffee powder, surrounded Situ Kong, with men on either side of him. The priests of the Thorn Church also came over, looking at the screen with curiosity.
Although one may not care about life or death, it is human nature to join in the fun.
We're all people who enjoy having fun!
"Who do you think will win this time?"
"It's Lu Yu, right? This guy is very experienced in places like secret realms, and his ability to manipulate others is terrifying. Maybe while others are trying to 'conquer' the supernatural, he'll 'conquer' it too."
"I think those who have emerged from blood and fire on the border are more likely. Although the Watchers of the Crimson Dragon Tribe have become mutated, they still retain human rationality, can communicate, and prefer their ruthless descendants. On the other hand, the Abnormality is not bound by human morality and should only be able to rely on hard power."
"She could also be a candidate for sainthood in the Thorn Church; after all, besides her eyes, her thorn-type pet is also terrifying."
"I think these top geniuses are more likely to be targeted by a coalition of others."
"Are you kidding? What kind of genius can get sniped?"
"..."
Amidst the murmurs and discussions among the crowd.
Inside the barrier,
Although many challengers were caught off guard, they were all experienced beast tamers and quickly and smoothly landed in the barrier.
However, inside was neither a human city nor a cave, but rather they landed on a huge white cloud, which appeared soft but was no less resilient than the ground.
All around them, mysterious water vapor drifted, instantly transforming into a purple thunderstorm with countless electric snakes slithering about, before turning into endless boiling magma...
"How can there be so many changes... Just how many attributes does this anomaly possess?"
A short-haired young man who knew a little about anomalies couldn't help but gasp, his expression grave.
Unlike secret realms, which are spaces attached to the world, barriers are actually more like the domain of the anomaly itself, encroaching on an area and essentially being an extension of its power.
Therefore, in most cases, the abilities of anomalies can be inferred through the barrier.
However, in this short time, they saw changes in elements such as clouds, water vapor, lightning, and magma. Just how many properties were involved?
What kind of monster was this anomaly in its previous life?
Could they be top-tier prodigies from the league?
But I haven't heard of any geniuses dying recently...
Moreover, unlike humans who have limitations, anomalies have no lifespan limit. They can directly draw power from the Mother River to grow, and have multiple attributes. This not only does not limit them, but also makes them almost without weaknesses.
Especially considering the abilities this guy just displayed, there are no weaknesses to be seen. Facing him is like facing a hexagonal, all-around warrior.
"No wonder..."
Everyone finally understood why President Situ Kong had released the barrier of this anomaly; this guy was simply not someone that ordinary people could contend with.
Moreover, it must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise, if it escapes, it will turn into a terrifying natural disaster.
"So this is the barrier of a complete anomaly? It is indeed much more powerful than a mountain of corpses, but..."
Lu Yu looked around thoughtfully. At the same time, Jiang Ji came to his side and said earnestly:
"What do you think of my previous suggestion?"
"..."
This statement inexplicably gives off the feeling that, "Lu Yu, you don't want to fail your challenge against the anomaly, do you?"
I've come to a world of beast taming, not a world of doujinshi, right?
Isn't it usually girls who are threatened like this? Why is it this time that a grown man is being threatened?
Young lady, your hair shouldn't be gray; it should be dyed blonde. The blonde nun is your destiny.
Although he inwardly scoffed, Lu Yu remained calm. The more enthusiastic Jiang Ji was, the more problematic she seemed. He didn't want to be associated with any deity, not even a true god, so he decisively refused:
"Sorry, I don't need help, nor do I want to understand your church's doctrines. I don't believe in God, I only believe in myself. I hope you will stop bothering me."
To avoid giving the other party the impression that there was still a chance, Lu Yu made his decision completely this time.
"All right……"
Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Jiang Ji's face. The thorn ring on her fleshy and slender thighs spun even faster, piercing into her flesh and injecting pain, but it was silent and left no trace except for snagging her black stockings.
"Eek..."
The intense pain spread, causing her to bite her lower lip tightly and her face to flush, but her mind became increasingly clear, and she suddenly realized what was happening.
During this time...
They seem to be blinded by greed!
They blindly pursued everything Lu Yu carried, forgetting that the true doctrine is to bear the suffering of all things.
This is completely putting the cart before the horse!
She came to her senses and made up her mind that she would not hold back in this battle and would do everything in her power to obtain the artifact.
If this fantastical object is a good match for Lu Yu, it can be used as bait to recruit him into the sect.
In this way, Lu Yu obtained the artifact, which could bear the pain that almost filled the world, resulting in a direct win-win situation!
If that doesn't work, consider it as adding to the church's foundation, and think of other ways to get closer to Lu Yu later.
She did some research online these past few days and found that some netizens had advised her: "It's no use to just lick a man; you have to conquer him!"
Jiang Ji turned and left. As a candidate for saintess, she naturally had her own pride.
She wouldn't spend all her time thinking about having heart-to-heart talks with Lu Yu in the prayer room... just a little bit!
"fine……"
The others, who had been watching this closely, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. If Lu Yu and Jiang Ji joined forces, the battle could be declared over.
The best outcome is that they parted on bad terms. It would have been even better if they had fought each other, as they could have profited from it.
However, soon everyone faced a problem.
Where did the anomaly go?
They also examined the cloud beneath their feet and found it wasn't a disguised anomaly. The environment outside the cloud was strange and unpredictable, making them hesitant to make any rash moves.
Without otherworldly beings, who would they fight?
Just as everyone was wondering, the clouds suddenly began to move, and a fist-sized eyeball emerged...
Or perhaps it was a creature whose upper body was an eye-shaped crystal, flashing with purple electricity, and whose lower body had six sharp blades, that climbed above the clouds.
"Has the anomaly arrived?"
Everyone instinctively retreated and huddled together. Lu Yu even shielded everyone in front of him, setting up various beast-taming formations, ready to attack at any moment.
Facing this group of people who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, the eerie creature leaned forward slightly, lowered its eyes, and looked at them with a wise glint in them, uttering a low voice:
"Humans, I know what you're thinking. You want to kill me and seize the Mother River's blessings. The law of the jungle is the supreme rule governing all things in the world. I've come here because I have a thirst for knowledge."
If you wish to challenge me, stand near the clouds and recall your most precious memories. The knowledge contained within will attract my knowledge insects. Once you have thirty of them, I will construct an insect chariot for you to come before me for the challenge.
"I won't kill you if you fail in the challenge, but I will permanently remove the relevant knowledge from your soul."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions turned serious.
I never imagined that this anomaly possessed such high intelligence!
In addition to elemental abilities, it also possesses soul-based abilities that can strip the memories of losers, and on top of that, it's the opponent's home turf...
It's absolutely nightmare level difficulty!
The only saving grace is that this anomaly is not murderous, and the price of failing the challenge is not death, but only the loss of knowledge.
Although the conditions were still harsh, they relieved everyone of their worries.
They reached the edge of the clouds and began trying to recall ancient knowledge, mysterious tales, or eerie images that they had seen in their souls.
Click click click!
Accompanied by eerie sounds, a large number of one-eyed, spider-legged knowledge insects crawled out from the bottom of the clouds and came before them.
Some of them attempted to bluff their way through with the knowledge of the masses, but were ignored by the insects of knowledge, who simply passed right by them.
It's like a brain-eating demon that enjoys devouring the brains of highly intelligent people, who has encountered a group of mentally challenged individuals.
I'd rather go hungry than eat junk food.
The crowd laughed, and the few people were a little embarrassed, realizing that these insects must have some kind of detection method that allowed them to see the aura of knowledge.
Therefore, they can only obediently recall the special knowledge, secret techniques of their schools, and even ancient rituals they possess, and try their best to draw them back.
However, ordinary esoteric knowledge can only attract 5-10 knowledge insects, not even enough to form an insect cart.
Some intermediate-level secret techniques, unpublished ancient secrets, or special inscriptions can attract more than thirty insects to create the most basic insect vehicle.
Seeing this, the Knowledge Insect, the avatar of the anomaly, continued speaking:
"The worms of knowledge only chase after valuable information. Although they cannot amplify your power, the mental lightning they carry will accelerate your thinking speed and enhance your reaction ability."
Even if the numbers reach a certain point, weakening my power, I am not afraid of death; I am only afraid that you will not be able to offer sufficiently astonishing knowledge.
His words were calm, yet they contained an unspeakable madness!
If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!
Even after death, when they become an alternate reality, they still pursue knowledge, true seekers of the Way.
The others pursed their lips. Although they knew the anomaly was deliberately trying to lure them into revealing more valuable knowledge, none of them chose to back down.
After all, this anomaly possesses too many attributes, including the rare soul type. Once it is killed, it is very likely that a versatile anomaly will be born.
This universal value alone puts it among the top tier, even among many fantastical objects.
"Let's give it our all!"
Thinking of this, everyone stopped hiding their identities, especially the group of young people from the border. They had witnessed a large number of demons on the battlefield, disrupted many rituals, and even collected secret scrolls from the evil god cult, thus recording a lot of occult knowledge, and even the sacrificial methods of certain evil gods.
Therefore, as soon as they recalled, they instantly attracted seventy or eighty knowledge insects, forming a medium-sized insect vehicle, surrounded by purple thought lightning, which enhanced the thought processing frequency of humans and pets.
The scarred youth leading the group from the border was named Lu Dan. He came from the Blacklight Battle Group, ranked seventy-first, and had a long history of destroying a giant monster's lair.
Lu Dan closed his eyes and recalled, attracting 170 knowledge insects that formed a large insect vehicle in front of him.
Even the Knowledge Insect controlled by the anomaly was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.
"Oh no!"
The others felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this, realizing that this guy was a formidable foe.
Jiang Ji also took action, directly using the special knowledge collected by the Thorn Church to attract 180 Knowledge Insects, which were large insect carts.
Several core members of the Da Yuan City Alliance also each summoned 150 of them.
There were also ten weaker beast tamers who chose to unite and piece together all the knowledge insects to barely assemble a large insect vehicle.
After all, there's no rule against group fights, especially since the aliens didn't stop them.
"Wait, there's one more person!"
No one was in a hurry to be the first to step forward; their gazes all turned to Lu Yu in the corner.
They knew how sharp this guy's observation skills were. In just a few hours, he figured out the rules of the secret realm and started using electric fishing and net fishing. He gained a lead of more than 3,000 points over the second place, skipped a level, and obtained the inheritance, which directly caused the mentality of the other trainees to explode.
Although the Otherworldly Barrier and the Secret Realm are different, as long as there are rules, there may be loopholes. We must take precautions to prevent others from benefiting us.
As for knowledge... they are not afraid.
After all, Lu Yu's background is not a secret, which greatly limits his development. At least for now, he cannot access much advanced knowledge. Even if there is a secret, it should only be at the level of a large insect vehicle.
"There was none of the promised mockery or disdain. They're so wary of me, an ordinary beast tamer. These people are too cowardly..."
Lu Yu shook his head. Although his treatment improved after gaining fame, the downside was that he could no longer blend in with the crowd as the sixth person.
Without further ado, he went up to the cloud and began to think about which memory to use.
After all, he has too many secrets, making it a difficult choice...
The Gate of Truth is definitely out of the question; there's no guarantee that this guy doesn't have some kind of ability to capture thoughts, and it's easy for secrets to be leaked.
Forbidden Sun? Beast?
Neither of these two seems suitable to be taken out. It's not that Lu Yu is timid, but he's afraid that the anomaly might not be able to withstand the mutation, and that the precious anomaly might be lost in the process.
Finally, Lu Yu came up with a suitable secret.
The creator of the underworld, the origin of the seven great royal trees, and the information of the Tree of Death!
It doesn't involve himself, and it's a huge secret.
If that's not enough, you can also add information about the Great Mistress's plan to evolve the Dead Eye Tyrant.
So he thought about it in his mind...
Rumble!
The entire sea of clouds began to tremble, as if an earthquake had struck. Before anyone could react, they witnessed a horrifying scene.
Countless worms of knowledge surged forth like a tide. Even the worms that had already formed worm carts could not resist the allure of this mysterious knowledge, abandoning these people and rushing towards Lu Yu.
Vast and boundless, like a sea of insects descending!
At a glance, there were at least several thousand of them, forming a huge warship. Their thoughts flashed with lightning, and they gathered together, like the legendary chariot of Thor descending to earth to judge humanity.
Everyone was thrilled to see this.
"What kind of knowledge does this guy possess that makes the 'knowledge worms' chase after him like madmen!"
"Isn't higher-level knowledge more dangerous? Is this guy really the chosen one? He's alright?" "It's over. I was laughing at those unlucky people in the Dragon's Secret Realm before, but now the tables have turned and it's my turn."
"Damn, thousands of them, what's the point of playing? I might as well go home and sleep."
"You need to understand that these few thousand are just the limit for the anomalies, not Lu Yu's limit."
"..."
These geniuses couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. They thought they were also cheating players, but Lu Yu gave them a live tutorial.
I showed them what it means to be "all of you here are trash!"
They are already formidable opponents, and they have such a large lead. This battle for the Otherworldly entity can be considered over.
"So strong..."
A glint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ji's eyes. She could actually do that too, but that would require revealing the secret of the [Eye of the Evil King].
The secret that Lu Yu possessed was information comparable to a King-level artifact. Could this be related to the suffering he had endured?
"Gurgle gurgle..."
However, just as everyone was about to give up, these knowledge insects suddenly froze, a look of disgust appearing in their eyes as they looked at Lu Yu as if they had seen something dirty. If they didn't lack mouths, they might even have wanted to spit on him before leaving.
Click!
The entire Thunder Battleship shattered instantly, and a large number of Knowledge Insects escaped from Lu Yu, either returning to their original positions or returning to the bottom of the sea of clouds.
"What's going on?"
Everyone was somewhat puzzled, but the Knowledge Worm, the avatar of the anomaly, spoke up, saying with regret in its eyes:
"This person possesses indeed a great deal of knowledge, but it's tainted by some kind of contamination. Outsiders can't obtain any valuable information from him. In your human terms, to the worms of knowledge, he's like a prostitute—alluring, but riddled with disease, utterly filthy..."
"I see!"
Everyone suddenly realized that Lu Yu possessed advanced mysterious knowledge, but could only look at it, not obtain it. Wasn't this just playing with insects? Especially with the filthy aura emanating from Lu Yu, it cut off any possibility of the knowledge insects getting close.
The purpose of the anomalies is to acquire knowledge, but Lu Yu does not meet this condition.
In other words...
He's not even qualified to take on the challenge!
Thinking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some even felt a little schadenfreude, as they had eliminated a formidable enemy so easily.
"Those who try to master thorns will inevitably be pricked by them."
Jiang Ji quoted a proverb from the Thorn Church, feeling regretful that Lu Yu had been backfired on by his own secret.
Inside the Tower of Stars and Beasts,
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this scene.
"Lu Yu... he's so unlucky..."
"It's not exactly bad luck. With this kind of pollution, he doesn't have to worry about being targeted or interrogated for secrets, which is a kind of safety lock. But this time... he really can't challenge this anomaly."
"The Dragon's Secret Realm is because the Crimson Dragon Tribe wants to select a successor, and the ancient Beast Tamer can help Lu Yu cheat. But the Abnormalities don't care about human life or death; they only value the worth of a person and won't give them a chance."
"It seems Lu Yu doesn't have a flying-type pet yet. Without the help of the bug car, he wouldn't even have a chance to get to the alien, let alone challenge it."
"..."
Apart from Zhou Cheng's grim expression, the others were mostly pleasantly surprised.
Without Lu Yu as a formidable opponent, the chances of our own people obtaining the fantastical object are much higher.
Situ Kong calmly sipped his coffee, and upon seeing Lu Yu's composed expression, he seemed lost in thought.
This kid, I wonder if he really has the keen observation skills that the legends say he possesses; maybe he still has a sliver of a chance...
Lu Yu calmly retreated back into the sea of clouds, which, in the eyes of the others, was a way of leaving with a semblance of dignity.
No one was foolish enough to mock him, after all, he was just unlucky, not that he lacked the ability to deal with them.
The remaining people chose to take on the challenge.
The first to appear was Lu Dan from the border, who, intending to strike first, boarded a large insect vehicle and roared away into the distance.
As the Insects of Knowledge approached, the distant clouds distorted, revealing a huge white arena, where a figure was already waiting.
Lu Dan's eyes widened in shock after he saw its appearance.
Because this guy's appearance... is just too terrifying!
This is a non-humanoid anomaly, with a thin body, a long gray snake tail trailing behind its lower body, a pair of bat wings on its back, blood-red runes all over its body, and a huge, vertical mouth full of sharp teeth on its abdomen, making it look particularly ferocious.
It grew a pair of withered tree-like hands, holding a mysterious book. However, it had no head; instead, it had three tentacles connected to three huge blue bubbles, inside which black lightning flickered, constantly flashing as it thought.
The first impression it gives is...
It was incredibly eerie and created a strong sense of oppression.
It looked at Lu Dan inside the Knowledge Insect Cart and made a sound:
"You can call me 'Black Light,' to illuminate the dark path of exploring knowledge."
"Lu Dan!"
Lu Dan nodded, his gaze serious. With the support of his mental lightning, he instantly understood his situation and two summoning arrays appeared with a wave of his hand.
A Storm Eagle and a Raging Dragon Elephant appeared!
The Storm Golden Eagle differs greatly from ordinary golden eagles in appearance. Its wings are not bird wings, but are made of solidified air currents. It is huge and has a fierce look.
The Wrathful Dragon Elephant, on the other hand, is a dragon-blooded creature, a huge animal with a body covered in a lot of fiery hair and an appearance similar to a mammoth, with dragon horns on its forehead. It is a variant of the dragon-blooded creatures.
They had long since reached the level of a leader, but they deliberately suppressed their strength for this battle.
Lu Dan decisively ordered: "Burn the ground with fire!"
"Moo!"
The enraged dragon-elephant roared, its forelimbs suddenly rising and stomping down.
Boom!
The arena shattered, and where the elephant's foot landed, a large number of flame patterns spread out, instantly covering fifty meters in front of it, directly covering the area where the black lamp was located. The next moment, the flame patterns shone brightly!
boom!
On the patterns, pillars of fire shot into the sky, instantly engulfing everything, while the Storm Golden Eagle made its move, flapping its wings and stirring up a raging storm.
Fueled by the wind, the fire surged instantly, transforming into a vortex of flames with immense power, comparable to a mid-level commander.
This is Lu Dan's fighting style. Once he advances to Gold rank, he will contract a Wood-type pet and directly combine it into the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain formation.
Its speed is as slow as the forest, its swiftness as the wind, and its aggression as fierce as fire!
To maximize the power of the flames
The last mountain refers to the Flaming Mountain!
"Did it work?"
Lu Dan looked at the huge vortex of flames in front of him with a tense expression, but the next moment, he was stunned.
Because from within the flames, a figure slowly emerged.
It was dark; the fire attack hadn't burned it at all, and even the book in its hand hadn't shown a single trace of burning.
It slowly raised its three bubble heads, its body flashing, and appeared on top of the raging dragon elephant. The latter, with its rich combat experience, reacted quickly, raising its forelimbs and stomping down. However, Black Lantern, holding a book in its left hand, casually pointed with its thin right hand.
Susu!
The water converged, transforming into a water dragon that roared out, engulfing the enraged dragon-elephant, extinguishing its flames, and instantly sending it flying. The dragon rolled several times on the ground, nearly falling off the arena.
Due to attribute advantage and a difference in strength, they were instantly killed in a single encounter.
"How is that possible!?"
Lu Dan was incredulous at the sight, and fear began to creep into his heart.
Can I really defeat it?
"Hey!"
The Storm Eagle saw its companion injured and flapped its wings to come to its aid, but then heard the voice of Blacklight behind it.
"Good speed, but unfortunately too fragile."
As soon as he finished speaking, in the terrified eyes of the golden eagle, Black Lamp moved his mind, and a flash of electricity instantly enveloped it.
Crackling sounds!
The storm eagle was engulfed in electric current, letting out a painful wail, and was instantly stunned, collapsing to the ground.
In a mere instant, Lu Dan was defeated!
Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a chill run through their bodies, a cold sensation emanating from their tailbone.
What good is increased thought speed in the face of absolute power?
It's still a fate to be crushed.
Black Lantern flickered and appeared before Lu Dan, looking at the dazed human, and calmly said:
"I'll accept your memories!"
As it spoke, it placed its withered tree-like palm on Lu Dan's head. The three bubble heads lit up, generating a terrifying suction force that directly snatched away a white ball of light, which was then swallowed by the giant maw in its abdomen.
Click, click!
With a strange chewing sound, black lightning flashed on Bubble's head, showing that it was very satisfied.
Lu Dan, on the other hand, looked utterly defeated, collapsing to the ground in trembling fear, curled up in a ball, clearly traumatized.
Blacklight threw him and his pet back together, and continued:
"Next."
This time, everyone was no longer excited; they were all devastated.
How could they possibly win against such a monster?
Unfortunately, once the challenge began, they had no choice in the matter.
Next, several members of the alliance also went to the arena, but without exception, they were all easily defeated by Black Lantern using attribute advantages. Then, Black Lantern devoured the precious knowledge, causing their bodies to convulse, their faces to turn pale, and their souls to be injured.
What made them most desperate was that Black Lantern's strength was like a bottomless abyss, with no limit in sight, and he was getting stronger with each attack.
Afterwards, Jiang Ji went into battle. All her pet beasts were thorns that possessed her, and thorn armor and thorn helmet appeared on her body. It was as if the Queen of the Forest had descended. She swung the giant thorn axe behind her, which was extremely violent. Countless thorns swept out and turned into endless thorns. In terms of strength alone, she was already comparable to a high-level commander.
However, Black Lantern handled the situation with ease, deflecting all attacks and slicing through the thorny thicket. Just as Jiang Ji was about to use her trump card to avoid losing her memory, Black Lantern shook her head and suggested a draw.
Because it sensed that this part of the memory was very similar to Lu Yu's, and that it might be impossible to extract it, it lost interest. Jiang Ji also knew that even if she tried her best, she couldn't do anything to the other party, so she nodded in agreement.
As a result, the three strongest forces were all defeated or tied, leaving only a small alliance of ten ordinary beast tamers.
At this moment... all they could do was tremble in fear...
The planned siege turned out to be a joke in the face of overwhelming power.
Inside the Tower of Beasts, while everyone was shocked by the sheer power of the alien entity, they couldn't help but marvel at Lu Yu's good fortune in avoiding a severe blow to his soul.
However, some people think that if Lu Yu's dragon beast were to appear, there might be a chance of victory.
However, most people are not optimistic about this, after all, Black Lantern's strength is too terrifying. With the dual suppression of attributes and intelligence, it is already a top-level Abnormality.
It is almost impossible to conquer.
Zhou Cheng had confidence in Lu Yu, after all, the results of the battle at Bianmu Village some time ago were evident. Even if he couldn't use that mysterious dragon beast, an ordinary peak commander might not necessarily be able to defeat him.
Unfortunately, Lu Yu, who is theoretically the strongest, is unable to fight because he cannot satisfy the alien's need for knowledge.
It's so frustrating!
Lu Yu in the picture also seems frustrated, with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
"hateful……"
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but light a Taohuaxiang brand cigarette, hoping to relieve his displeasure. However, the moment he lit it, he was shocked, shivered, and the cigarette turned to ash.
"Don't smoke indoors, it will affect the quality of your coffee."
Situ Kong spoke calmly, looking at the people in the picture, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
It still doesn't work...
Looks like I'll have to find those monsters in the capital...
In the scene, Black Lantern focused his gaze on the remaining ten Beast Tamers and calmly said:
"It's your turn."
"No, I abstain!"
"Let me go!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone screamed in terror, filled with despair at the prospect of certain defeat.
Seeing this, Blacklight didn't bother to say anything more. He clenched his withered tree-like hand in the air, and a large number of knowledge insects flew up and condensed into a giant thunder hand, which slowly descended in the terrified gazes of the ten people.
"Damn it..."
Lu Dan had recovered from his trauma, and when he looked up and saw this scene, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
Although these people chose to challenge the Abnormality themselves, they ultimately had no deep-seated hatred for each other. They were all members of the human race, yet now they were being treated as food by the Abnormality Black Lantern, who could pick them up at will.
They trampled on their dignity!
All of this is simply because of weakness!
This is the greatest original sin.
boom!
Just as the ten people were preparing to accept their fate of having their memories eaten, the Thunder Hand was shattered by the spider silk, and the little spider calmly withdrew its hand.
Lu Yu looked at the darkened lights on the arena and said calmly:
"How about I do it?"
Everyone was stunned, not expecting this scene. The ten people were even more moved, never expecting that Lu Yu, who could have stayed out of it, would step forward in the face of such a powerful enemy.
But after the initial joy came bitterness.
Leaving aside whether Lu Yu is qualified, even if he is, he could not possibly contend against this anomaly that is so powerful it's despair-inducing.
At best, it will end in a draw after a difficult battle, but there is a high probability that they will be crushed.
In the eyes of many, perhaps only a beast tamer at the level of spiritual transformation could fight against Black Lantern.
And they might not even be its match!
The ten people said gratefully, "Thank you so much for your help, but please let us go. We chose this path, and we should walk it ourselves."
Blacklight looked at Lu Yu, shook his head (his three bubble-like heads), and calmly said:
"You're of no use to me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the arena where Black Lantern was located suddenly began to tremble, and in an instant, it turned into a cloud of mist, which held him tightly in its palm.
"This is……"
Black Lantern's body was imprisoned, and black lightning flashed continuously in the three bubble heads, as if it could not believe what it had encountered.
Lu Yu strolled through the void, looking down at the black lamp, and said indifferently:
"You shameless bastard! Since you won't accept my offer, from now on, my rules are the only rules. It's your turn to challenge them..."
"Look me in the eye, you little brat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including the challengers like Jiang Ji and the onlookers, stared wide-eyed at Lu Yu, who looked like a big boss.
Situ Kong's hand trembled, almost spilling his coffee. His eyes widened in shock. He had hoped someone would see through the true nature of this anomaly, but he hadn't expected this...
Lu Yu actually took control of the anomaly's barrier!
How exactly did they do that?
A long chapter of 9,600 words! I'm so touched to be ranked fifth in the new book monthly votes on my first visit! Thank you all so much for your support! I'll take a short break in a few days, split the chapters, and update more frequently. Love you all! I guess the clever readers have already figured out the true nature of this anomaly.
