Chapter 1549: Chapter 945: If You’re a Man, Go Down 100 Floors
The Shattered Star Greatsword shattered the flame-enveloped roots entirely, with flames flying wildly under the fierce attack, the sparks in the air moving towards extinction.
It was only then that Temude noticed that the mass of fire wasn’t merely flames; at its center was a pitch-black mass, indistinct and appearing as either a twisted creature or a charred corpse.
Although it was unclear what this black mass was, the question seemed to become unimportant, as it had already been turned to ashes under the Shattered Star Greatsword.
The crushed entity neither exploded nor recovered, and the flames that were fiercely erupting moments ago vanished in the blink of an eye.
Did I just achieve location destruction? If so, doesn’t this mean the Chaos Breeding Ground can’t use this area to spew fire anymore?
Though the fireballs that erupted from this part weren’t particularly threatening to begin with, destroying one should still aid in battle.
Wait a minute, something’s off; this thing didn’t recover?
Temude suddenly looked up towards the sky.
Half of the body of the Chaos Breeding Ground connected to this flame was trembling from its demise, and people could seemingly perceive a feeling of pain from the trembling branches and tendrils.
The Chaos Flame attached to this half of the tendrils shrank instantly; if its prior flame was raging, it now resembled a mere bonfire, starkly contrasting with the still flaming other half.
"What’s going on here?"
Temude thought of an abstract situation, involuntarily grinning.
"Could this be the Chaos Breeding Ground’s weakness?"
After the flame was destroyed, it showed no signs of regeneration; indeed, the Chaos Breeding Ground suffered weakening, and its erupting flames became enfeebled. If this isn’t a weakness, then what is?
"We guessed wrong earlier!"
"Everyone, go and cut down the other flame!"
With Temude’s regretful shout, warriors turned and charged towards the remaining flame on the Chaos Breeding Ground.
If destroying the two immobile flames can weaken the Chaos Breeding Ground, this strategy seems advantageous.
Yet, things are never that simple.
These advancing warriors are seasoned dungeon adventurers, and just a few meters into their rush, they slowed their pace and exchanged knowing glances.
Their eyes clearly conveyed, "Let’s hold off and see if the malice of Sain Dungeon presents itself; we’ll feign a messy approach to slip by."
As many adventurers speculated, they believed Sain Dungeon delighted in the adventurers’ suffering, rewarding them only after deriving satisfaction.
Thus, these warriors would deliberately act despondent, fabricating a show for Sain Dungeon, possibly lowering the difficulty as a consequence.
Just then, the unexpected happened.
The Chaos Breeding Ground emitted a hoarse shriek, causing listeners to furrow their brows intensely.
The flame humanoid hovering above the Chaos Breeding Ground suddenly erupted, with Chaos Flame-crafted "wings" fiercely striking the earth.
The ground shook violently next moment; even seasoned warriors present lost their footing, as this wasn’t an ordinary tremor—it contained magic that disrupted balance and forcibly toppled them!
Losing footing wasn’t the most terrifying aspect; rather, the cracked ground from battle finally gave in and began to collapse!
"Crack—a—a—a"
Large swathes of the ground fell away, revealing gaping abysses, and falling into one meant immediate defeat.
"Everyone be careful; the monsters have finally gone berserk!"
The Chaos Breeding Ground had finally altered its attack method, no longer merely flailing, but assaulting people from all sides with tendrils of various twisted forms.
Predominantly, it was sweeping attacks!
The tendrils’ movement speeds multiplied, turning from barely perceptible to tracks that Temude had to focus intently on.
Yet, just as they summoned full mental effort to dodge and counter the enemy, the Chaos Breeding Ground spewed a large amount of ash-laden smoke, a deadly black-grey mist pervading everywhere, physically obstructing everyone’s view!
If just the darkened environment isolated vision, magic might counter it; but this ash-laden smoke blocked sight while also harming the body; most crucially—
"This stuff can obscure Fighting Qi perception?"
When enveloped by smoke, the normally clear Fighting Qi Perception used to sense enemy movements and surroundings suddenly blurred into hazy fragments, as if the scene turned pixelated.
This plunged the warriors, who relied on Fighting Qi Perception like a third eye in daily life, into momentary chaos, with bodily reactions delayed.
Blunders surfaced precisely at this critical juncture!
"Ah!"
The next second, an unfortunate warrior cried out—not a scream of pain, but a shout of surprise from unexpected attack—his voice gradually distancing from the group!
