Chapter 101: Level 4 Sea Monster!

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Level 4 Sea Monster!

The second Sea Monster was clearly on guard.

It propped up its thick, jointed limbs, its abdomen squirming, and directly spat a ghastly white web toward Lin Ji.

"Sea Spiders can also spin silk?"

A flicker of surprise passed through Lin Ji’s eyes, but he quickly dismissed it.

The mutated freaks in this damned place really couldn’t be judged by common sense.

The pale spiderweb descended right over his head.

This thing carried an extremely strong corrosive property. Upon landing on the Exoskeleton, it immediately emitted a pungent white smoke, attempting to firmly imprison Lin Ji.

"Volcanic Magma Burst!"

Lin Ji snorted coldly, instantly condensing a mass of dark red energy in his palm.

He directly activated Volcanic Magma Burst!

Blazing high temperatures erupted violently from his body surface, instantly incinerating those tough spiderwebs into ashes.

The moment he broke free from the restraints, the Bone Blade in Lin Ji’s hand swung out again.

The second Sea Monster didn’t even have time to let out a hiss before it was cleaved in two from the middle.

[Congratulations, Survivor Lin Ji, for killing a Level 3 Elite Mutated Sea Spider. Obtained 10 Tide Hunting Points. Current points: 20.]

The Bone Blade pried open the wreckage, revealing yet another Crystal Core inside!

"Another one. Not bad at all."

Lin Ji happily flicked the Crystal Core into his hand.

The women standing at the rear, seeing Lin Ji so ferocious, instantly became a fervent cheer squad.

"Boss is so cool! Slash them!"

Tang Ling excitedly jumped up and down on the spot.

With her vigorous movements, the tight white T-shirt simply couldn’t contain her, and the astonishing assets on her chest trembled wildly along with it, making one’s vision swim a little.

Qin Yao licked her red lips, a trace of heat flashing in her eyes as she looked at Lin Ji.

"So fierce. His monster-killing speed is even faster than mine."

Gu Yihan nimbly ran forward and dug out the first Crystal Core.

Looking at Lin Ji’s tall, broad back, she responded loudly.

"Captain, the Crystal Core is secured!"

At this moment, her eyes were filled with unconcealable admiration.

But just as everyone was starting to think this Mutant Beast Tide wasn’t much either, a piercing shriek suddenly came from deep within the sea fog.

The sound was extremely loud, causing the women on the deck to cover their ears one after another. The cheers abruptly ceased.

Immediately after, a truly massive creature emerged from the churning black tide.

A black, jointed limb covered in barbs, as thick as a thigh.

Boom!

It slammed heavily onto the edge armor of the Assault Ship.

The thick steel armor was actually gouged with a deep trench, emitting a grating metallic screech that set teeth on edge.

"This size..."

Lin Ji’s pupils contracted, the muscles all over his body instantly tensing.

He immediately activated the Eye of Insight and scanned over.

A massive mutated Sea Spider was slowly climbing onto the deck. Dark golden text materialized before his eyes.

[Level 4 · Deep-Sea Venomous Matriarch (Mutant Beast Tide Leader)]!

"A tough Level 4 customer?"

Lin Ji muttered to himself in a low voice, his expression turning serious.

No wonder the system warned that the midnight beast tide was a major problem.

On the very first night of the third phase, a monster of this level had already spawned.

The women’s faces instantly paled as they saw the full form of the creature.

Tang Ling took two frightened steps back, her hands gripping the railing beside her tightly.

Gu Yihan reacted swiftly, immediately drawing a high-quality Magic Shark Poison Arrow from her quiver.

While pulling the bowstring taut with force, she quickly retreated to find a firing angle, her aim locked firmly on the monster’s compound eyes.

Qin Yao also gasped sharply, rubbing her hands together abruptly.

A bright, glowing magma Fireball instantly took shape in her palms, illuminating her face, which held a touch of wildness.

"Captain, this big guy doesn’t look easy to cut down!"

Qin Yao shouted loudly.

Lin Ji stared intently at the giant monster spewing pale venom, the Bone Blades on his arms vibrating rapidly.

"Stay calm!"

Lin Ji shouted orders while observing the monster’s movements.

"Spread out the formation!"

"Yihan, keep its eyes occupied! Qing Yue, block its movement!"

"Qin Yao, find the right moment and focus fire with me!"

Lin Ji took a deep breath, channeling the Fire Element Origin within him into his Exoskeleton.

As he looked at the colossal creature before him, instead of retreating, a flicker of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"This is fifty points delivered right to our doorstep."

"And it definitely has an lv4 Crystal Core inside! Killing it would be a huge win!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ji pushed off the deck with both legs, charging straight toward the LV4 giant monster.

"Clang!"

A sharp, metallic clash echoed across the deck.

Lin Ji’s high-frequency vibrating Bone Blade struck the Deep-Sea Venomous Matriarch’s thick forelimb fiercely.

Yet it only sparked a shower of sparks, leaving behind a shallow white mark!

"This tough?"

Lin Ji’s pupils contracted sharply. Pushing off with his feet, he swiftly retreated.

He had initially thought that with his current overpowering attributes, even if he couldn’t instantly kill this LV4 leader monster, he could at least break its defense.

He never expected this creature’s carapace to be even thicker than refined steel.

Enraged by this strike, the Deep-Sea Venomous Matriarch reared its massive body upright.

Its abdomen contracted violently, and it spat out an extremely thick, gray-white spiderweb directly at Lin Ji.

Lin Ji reacted with lightning speed, his dark Red Hidden Wings unfurling from his back.

Pushing off with his legs, he soared into the air.

He attempted to bypass the web and directly attack the monster’s relatively vulnerable compound eyes above.

But the spiderweb suddenly expanded and spread out mid-air.

Like an inescapable net, it precisely ensnared Lin Ji, trapping him firmly in the air.

"Thud!"

Carried by the web’s immense force, Lin Ji crashed heavily back onto the deck.

"This web isn’t normal!"

Lin Ji frowned tightly, his palms instantly erupting with the intense heat of Volcanic Magma Burst.

But the web spat by this LV4 monster was exceptionally resilient. Even the scorching magma flames took over three seconds to barely melt it.

During these few seconds as Lin Ji struggled free from the web, the Deep-Sea Venomous Matriarch’s other two Skills were fully revealed.

It opened its ferocious maw and, with a "sput," shot out a stream of deep-green corrosive venom like a high-pressure water gun.

The venom landed on the High-Manganese Chromium-Molybdenum Steel Plate, instantly emitting a pungent "sizzling" sound and billowing thick white smoke.

Immediately after, its eight barb-covered limbs began moving like heavy-duty pile drivers.

With terrifying Great Strength, it rampaged across the deck, smashing everything in its path.

Each stomp made the entire Assault Ship shudder slightly.

Even the sturdy High-Manganese Chromium-Molybdenum Steel Plates were pierced!

"Damn it, I can’t even get close!"

Lin Ji rolled awkwardly to dodge the venom while searching for an opening to strike back.

The monster was too tall, with all its weak points located high up.

Whenever he tried to take to the air, he was precisely forced back by webs and venom.

Beside him, Qin Yao swung her arms frantically, hurling one glowing magma Fireball after another at the monster’s carapace.

But aside from making the black shell glow red with heat, they inflicted no fatal damage. Instead, they only enraged the Deep-Sea Venomous Matriarch further.

Her Volcanic Magma Burst Skill was A-grade, but its limitations were obvious.

Its power was only strong in volcanic environments. Out here on the sea like this, its effectiveness plummeted!

"Captain! This thing is too tough! My Fireballs can’t penetrate it!"

Qin Yao shouted at Lin Ji between ragged breaths.

Lin Ji gritted his teeth. He knew they couldn’t afford to drag this out any longer.

The stamina of an LV4 Elite Monster far exceeded theirs. If this dragged on, one touch of its venom would mean the end.

"Yihan! Tang Ling!"

Lin Ji blocked a sweeping limb with his Bone Blade and roared hoarsely toward the rear. ℯℯ𝑙.

"To the bow! Get that Lava Cannon operational!"
