Chapter 279 Acquaintance
The sound seemed to come from an ancient, primordial beast, carrying boundless pressure and rage, causing the entire lake to tremble.
The lake water suddenly burst open, sending spray flying high into the air like a torrential downpour. Then, a colossal creature slowly emerged from the lake!
Mo Ming quickly pulled out the parser.
【Sea-Splittering Scale Beast: Radiant Orange-Rank】
Introduction: A descendant of ancient ferocious beasts possessing primordial bloodlines!
Its body is enormous, measuring tens of meters long and almost covering half of the lake surface.
Its head resembles that of a giant deep-sea eel, with two rows of sharp fangs exposed when its mouth is open. The fangs are still covered with partially rotten remains, emitting a nauseating stench.
Its eyes were a deep, icy blue, radiating a cold and bloodthirsty light, as if they could stare directly into the human soul.
The body of the Sea-Splitting Scale Beast is covered with a thick layer of black scales, each scale gleaming with a cold light, as sharp as a blade.
Several sharp bone spurs grew on its back, with some broken seaweed and bloodstains hanging on them, clearly marks left when it hunted other creatures.
Its limbs are thick and powerful, with huge webbed claws at the ends, the tips of which are extremely sharp and can tear the air with a light swipe.
What is most shocking is its tail, which is a bone whip that is tens of meters long, with a huge barb at the end, as if it was made specifically for hunting.
When the Sea-Splitting Scale Beast emerged from the lake, the entire lake trembled, and the water surged wildly in all directions, as if in fear of its presence.
Its roar was deafening, filled with boundless rage and murderous intent.
Mo Ming stared in disbelief at the scene, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.
This wasn't the first time he'd encountered a ferocious beast of this caliber, but the aura of the Rending Sea Scale Beast was so oppressive that he could barely breathe.
"Is this the ferocious beast with primordial bloodline?"
However, what shocked Mo Ming even more than the terror of the Sea-Splitting Netherscale Beast was those two people!
After they scrambled ashore in a disheveled state, Mo Ming finally recognized their faces. "It's them?"
The roar of the Sea-Splitting Scale Beast shook the heavens and earth, and the lake's surface continued to churn violently, as if the entire lake was submitting to the appearance of this primordial beast. Its icy blue eyes coldly stared at the two people on the shore.
Mo Ming stood in the woods not far away, his gaze fixed on Sun Miaoke and Liang Dongshan on the shore.
He held the analyzer in his hand, the screen still displaying detailed information about the Riftsea Netherscale Beast, but his attention had already shifted to the two people.
“Sun Miaoke, Liang Dongshan…”
Mo Ming murmured softly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Sun Miaoke and Liang Dongshan had clearly recovered somewhat from their earlier disarray. They stood on the shore, their eyes fixed on the Rift Sea Netherscale Beast, their faces filled with solemnity.
The aura emanating from both of them gradually increased, clearly indicating that they were ready for battle.
"Liang Dongshan, this guy's aura is stronger than we expected. It seems we underestimated its strength."
Sun Miaoke said in a cold voice, her voice carrying a hint of unease, but more so calmness and decisiveness.
Liang Dongshan wiped the water off his face and snorted coldly: "There's no point in saying more. Since we've already provoked it, we have no choice but to fight!"
However, you'd better not hold back and show us your true skills, or we'll all die here today!
Sun Miaoke did not respond, but only glanced at him before raising her hand, and a dazzling light burst forth from her palm.
It was a long sword that was crystal clear, with complex runes engraved on its blade, radiating powerful spiritual energy.
Liang Dongshan then drew a huge battle axe from his waist. The blade of the battle axe gleamed with a cold light, and lightning crackled around it.
His body was slightly hunched, and his muscles were taut, clearly indicating that he had entered a fighting state.
The Sea-Splitting Scale Beast seemed to sense the threat posed by the two. It let out a low roar, and its huge tail lashed out, creating a massive wave that crashed directly towards them!
"Get away!"
Sun Miaoke let out a low shout, and with a flash, she quickly leaped to the side.
Liang Dongshan then swung his battle axe fiercely at the wave, splitting it in two with the powerful force, but he himself was also thrown back several steps by the impact.
Seeing that its attack had failed, the Sea-Splitting Scale Beast's eyes flashed with anger.
It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a beam of eerie blue light condensed from the depths of its throat, then shot towards the two of them at an extremely fast speed!
"Oops!"
Liang Dongshan's expression changed, and he quickly held his battle axe horizontally in front of him, trying to block the beam of light.
However, the power of the beam far exceeded his expectations. His body was blasted away and crashed heavily into a rock, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Sun Miaoke narrowly avoided the beam of light, but her expression grew even more grim. She knew that the Sea-Splitting Scale Beast before her was no ordinary ferocious beast; its power far exceeded their expectations.
"Liang Dongshan, can you still hold on?"
Sun Miaoke asked coldly, her long sword trembling slightly, clearly preparing to launch the next attack.
"Grandma's!"
Liang Dongshan gritted his teeth and stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with ruthlessness. "This beast is only relying on his size and strength; we might still have a chance!"
Mo Ming stood in the shadows, coldly observing everything. He didn't rush to make a move, but chose to observe quietly.
His gaze swept back and forth between Sun Miaoke and Liang Dongshan, a hint of doubt and contemplation flashing in his eyes.
“Sun Miaoke and Liang Dongshan... these two are not simple people.”
Mo Ming thought to himself.
After these two emerged from the Eight Gates Secret Realm, they harbored many secrets, especially regarding the Four Ghost Marquises, which he could never let go of.
"Sun Miaoke's sword... doesn't seem to be an ordinary weapon?"
Mo Ming's gaze fell on the longsword in Sun Miaoke's hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He could sense that the sword was radiating extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary weapon.
As for Liang Dongshan, although his fighting style seemed somewhat brutal, Mo Ming noticed that every attack he made was extremely precise.
“These two people…” Mo Ming frowned slightly, his heart filled with doubt.
The Sea-Splitting Scale Beast clearly had no intention of giving the two a chance to catch their breath.
It swung its huge tail and slammed it against the shore, the powerful force creating a deep crack in the ground.
Sun Miaoke and Liang Dongshan had to separate again to avoid the attack, but the attacks of the Rending Sea Netherscale Beast became increasingly fierce, as if it wanted to crush them completely.
"We can't keep fighting like this!"
Sun Miaoke gritted her teeth, and the longsword in her hand suddenly emitted an even more dazzling light. She channeled her spiritual power into the sword, then unleashed a powerful sword aura, heading straight for the head of the Sea-Splitting Netherscale Beast!
The Sea-Splitting Scale Beast seemed to sense the threat, and suddenly opened its mouth wide, spitting out a beam of dark blue light that collided with the sword energy in mid-air.
The two forces canceled each other out, resulting in a violent roar, and the powerful shockwave shook the surrounding trees, causing them to sway and tilt.
