Looking at the various stats of the wild beast before him, Ye Yun was stunned. Not to mention its attributes, just its eight skills were enough to refresh Ye Yun's worldview. Each skill was more powerful than the last, with passive and active, single-target and area-of-effect attacks, and even support skills, making it almost complete.
No wonder that fellow Liu Sao would suffer a setback. In terms of attributes, it shouldn't have been a major issue for the current Liu Sao. The difficulty lay in the skill amplification of this beast. A mere 50% increase in all attributes at any moment – who could withstand that? Not to mention the fifth skill, 'Tyranny,' which automatically activated when its health dropped below 30%, recovering 2% of its health per second and increasing attack by 20% for 30 seconds.
This was an utterly shameless skill! Recovering 60% of its health in thirty seconds! This meant that if a player's attack power wasn't high enough, this creature's health could steadily recover to a despair-inducing level!
Ye Yun could imagine Liu Sao's expression; it must have been quite spectacular.
After bringing a group of people and finally managing to wear this guy down, only for it to use a skill and recover health at a rate tens or even hundreds of times faster than the damage inflicted, how despairing must that have been!
The Golden Crow carried Ye Yun towards the inland, maintaining a delicate balance with General Ku Mo.
The Golden Crow seemed to know that the pursuing fellow couldn't catch up, so its mood was quite cheerful. It even turned around a few times to taunt him.
Meanwhile, Hei Yi, following behind General Ku Mo, was neither hurried nor slow. With its current strength, it could have instantly killed this monster.
"As expected, they've grown up and have their own ideas. If I had ordered Xiao Hei to kill a monster before, that guy would have been in and out with a bloody knife without any hesitation."
It wasn't clear if it was due to Hei Yi's evolution adding 25 points of intelligence, but this guy's IQ was now on par with humans. It was now capable of playing the fool to deceive others.
Just then...
*Bang...*
-55799e
General Ku Mo watched as the fiery eyes of the Golden Crow suddenly dimmed. Its entire body plummeted from the sky like a crashed aircraft, and then exploded with a roar.
Hei Yi: ...
Golden Crow: ...
"System Prompt: Congratulations to player's spirit beast 'Hei Yi' for defeating the five-star wild beast 'General Ku Mo', obtaining 10 trillion experience points, Sea Palace Pearls * 5000, Spirit Stones * 5000, Sea King's Fork Fragment * 1..."
"New Mortal Continent Announcement: Congratulations to player 'Jie Ming' for defeating the Continent's Emperor-level Wild Beast Boss 'General Ku Mo'. Rewards include 1 billion attribute points, one million Spirit Stones, and the exclusive Emperor title 'Sea King' for the New Mortal Continent."
...
"System Prompt: Due to the hidden boss of the New Mortal Continent being defeated, this boss has permanently disappeared, activating the construction of the Sea of Suffering territory and the wild area above level eight ferocious beasts in the Sea of Suffering. The maximum capacity for the Sea of Suffering territory has been increased by 1."
...
"Note: Players who die in the New Mortal Continent can resurrect in the Sea of Suffering territory. They will need to wait for the next cycle to re-enter the New Mortal Continent, but this does not affect players returning to their own star domain maps. Players can also hunt ferocious beasts or wild beasts within the Sea of Suffering territory."
...
The entire New Mortal Continent seemed to have hit a pause button at this moment. All players stared blankly at the system announcements flooding their screens, their initial confusion quickly turning into excitement.
"Hahaha, dying no longer means being submerged in that damned seawater! Brothers, let's kill this bird-man. If we die, we'll go to the Sea of Suffering territory and kill high-level ferocious beasts!" A team, currently engaged in a fierce battle with a flying ferocious beast, became excited upon hearing the announcement. They promptly abandoned their defenses and focused solely on maximizing their offensive damage.
"So, the New Mortal Continent has these hidden bosses. Big Brother, why haven't the Princess mentioned them before?" In Cloud Heaven City, two wooden figures stood on the city walls, idly staring into space.
"An Emperor-level wild beast boss. Do you think the Princess could defeat it even if she discovered it? Hurry up and report this to higher authorities! It seems the New Mortal Continent is about to usher in a new era! If we can become the builders of this Sea of Suffering territory, then we will directly hold the lifeline of all players on the New Mortal Continent!"
How could someone like Yao Die possibly share such information with mere underlings? If it weren't for inserting an informant on Ye Yun's side, they wouldn't even know where they were floundering.
"Yes, Big Brother, I'll go do it now. Our era is coming..."
Reactions varied across different factions: astonishment, admiration, envy, and jealousy. News was constantly flowing out of the New Mortal Continent. All players had a single goal: to become the sole builder of the Sea of Suffering territory!
...
Sea Palace Pearl (Special) - Obtained by defeating ferocious beasts or wild beasts in the Sea of Suffering region of the New Mortal Continent. It is the only key to entering the Sea of Suffering. Players can click to use it at any point in the Sea of Suffering to establish a territory within the Sea of Suffering. It can also be used to upgrade the area and level of the Sea of Suffering territory, or to construct buildings and their levels!
What the hell!
Ye Yun suddenly looked up. He saw the barrier that was originally a hundred miles from the Sea of Suffering coast ripple with a halo of light, and then disappear.
And further out in the Sea of Suffering, Ye Yun could actually see a torrential downpour from the sky. Ferocious beasts were descending with the rain, swimming in the Sea of Suffering. From a distance, it looked like someone pouring a bucket of fish fry into a pond.
"Little Crow, fly towards the depths of the Sea of Suffering!" Ye Yun suddenly remembered the recent announcement and became anxious. What did it matter if ferocious beasts were falling from the sky? Let them die.
*Whoosh...*
The Golden Crow instantly turned into an afterimage, leaving behind a bewildered Hei Yi, who still seemed to be mourning the fragility of General Ku Mo.
Soon, under the Golden Crow's full-speed charge, Ye Yun entered a thousand miles into the Sea of Suffering. Although it was still a hundred thousand miles away from the true deep sea region of the Sea of Suffering, Ye Yun couldn't wait any longer.
The importance of this territory was self-evident. If some fool happened to have a hundred Sea Palace Pearls and was conveniently located by the Sea of Suffering, they could establish a territory in the shallow waters. Ye Yun would have nowhere to cry.
After all, the Sea of Suffering was vast, but only one territory could be built!
"Use 'Sea Palace Pearl' to construct territory..."
"System Prompt: Consumed 100 Sea Palace Pearls to successfully construct territory. Please name the territory..."
