The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the dark, silent underground maze.
Guided by the fungal plants, Ling Zhan didn't take any detours or trigger any monster summoning mechanisms, arriving smoothly at the elite guard's location.
Compared to the muddy, damp, and harsh environment before.
The area where the guard monster resided was much better.
It was a very straight passage.
The passage was lined with eerie blue flames, making the long corridor look like a ghostly realm.
At the end of the passage was darkness.
From the darkness came a creepy gnawing sound.
As if some creature was gnawing on something.
The moment Ling Zhan stepped into the passage.
A pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness at the end of the passage!
The creepy sound like that of a rat echoed, and then everyone saw a monster, three meters tall, crawl out of the darkness!
When the spectators in the guild saw the true form of this monster.
Many low-level female adventurers almost yacked, scared out of their wits, retreating frequently!
This elite monster had the head of a rat on a humanoid body!
Even more disgusting...
The rat-man's sharp claws were adorned with the bloody corpses of two adventurers.
Flesh mangled and tattered, horrendous to the extreme.
Their bodies were covered with gnaw marks.
And in the rat-man's long, sharp-toothed mouth, it was still chewing something, with dark red blood dripping from its jaws, making a crunching sound.
For those elite contestants from various countries, it didn't stir any waves in their hearts.
They had seen even more brutal scenes.
But for the newbie adventurers who were only at level ten or so, this sight was enough to horrify them.
[Monster: Evil Mutant Rat-Man]
[Dungeon Buff: Keen Perception, Lightning Charge.]
[Status: Berserk Bloodthirsty.]
[Note: The creation of a mad scientist, combining the genes of a bloodthirsty giant rat with human genes, resulting in this monstrous creature.]
Under the 'Eye of Appraisal' skill.
The basic information of the monster was laid bare.
This dungeon was indeed worthy of being the world's only super-large real resource secret realm.
In a typical dungeon, the information of a purple-named elite monster would be fully revealed.
But here, the health and skills were completely hidden.
The dungeon buff granted two abilities!
Luckily, just from the names, the effects of these two dungeon buffs could be inferred.
Keen Perception and Lightning Charge, indicating that this Evil Mutant Rat-Man not only had extraordinary senses but also an extremely exaggerated speed!
The Evil Mutant Rat-Man's bloodthirsty scarlet eyes glowed with a sinister light.
Perhaps having just fed and its belly full, it was no longer berserk and wanted to toy with this male human in a more sadistic manner.
It casually threw the two horribly mangled adventurer corpses aside.
Spitting from its disgusting, saliva-dripping, blood-soaked mouth.
A broken bone, covered in revolting rat saliva, fell to the ground.
Shockingly, the ground sizzled and corroded upon contact with the saliva!
Clearly, the filthy rat-man's saliva was also highly toxic.
It slowly raised its head, intending to lick its sharp claws.
It saw, stunned, a surging fireball wrapped in terrifying heat flying towards it!
It raised an eyebrow.
The calmness from its full belly turned back into rage!
A human below level 40 dared to attack it!
The Evil Mutant Rat-Man, filled with extreme confidence, charged at the seemingly powerful fireball!
The fireball's speed was fast!
But the mutant rat-man's speed was faster!
It even used the dungeon buff skill: Lightning Charge!
Under this terrifying speed...
The previously raging mutant rat-man suddenly let out a terrified squeal!
And forcibly stopped its charge towards the fireball!
Its sharp claws dug into the ground, but the charging inertia was too great.
It slid some distance before barely stopping!
It could still dodge now!
On its ugly face, fear and terror replaced the previous bloodlust and mockery!
Its mind was filled with this one thought!
Because as it charged towards the fireball, it felt its chest burning from the fireball's terrifying heat!
And its soul was scorched with pain!
It had thought the fireball was all show.
But it turned out to be a devastating meteor!
"Do you think you can escape?"
A voice, calm to the extreme, came from behind it.
The space around the Evil Mutant Rat-Man seemed to be controlled by someone.
Its motion to turn and flee was frozen like an eternal ice sculpture!
The sun-like, searing fireball slammed into the mutant rat-man!
The massive explosion instantly engulfed it in a sea of fire.
The entire passage was filled with blinding firelight!
The grotesque mutant rat-man couldn't even scream.
It was engulfed by the raging flames, its 45-level strong body reduced to ashes under Ling Zhan's fireball.
Every spectator's face was flushed red.
Their eyes stared blankly at the screen filled with firelight, their expressions frozen.
That damn thing is Fireball!!!
