294 Chapter 177
[ mutated poplar ] : under the effect of strange energy and lightning, the mutated poplar has a large amount of lightning in its body. The outer branches and leaves have the effect of absorbing and dissolving the Lightning.
Looking at the information in front of him, Su Ming confirmed his thoughts. This mutated poplar was indeed not the target he was looking for.
After crossing the tree, Su Ming slowly climbed up the mountain. While bathing in the Thunder, he also needed to find the Thunder Fruit and thunder he needed to complete his purpose here.
The slope of the five ridges peak was not steep enough to maintain normal walking. Su Ming needed to withstand the Thunder while observing the surrounding environment and looking for the mutated poplar-like trees, or grass plants.
During this period of time, he continued to adapt to his body’s resistance to lightning. He was prepared for a possible battle, and he was ready to face the enemy at full strength
“Whoosh! ! !”
Suddenly, a light sound came from the sky. It actually overshadowed the thunder and resounded in the mountain range.
Dark clouds lit up, and a figure that looked like a giant eagle appeared. It was the ‘Phoenix’that Su Ming had met earlier.
So it was also a member of this place?
Su Ming could not help but sigh in his heart.
The wings of the Phoenix were fully spread out. It fluttered in the Lightning and descended rapidly.
It finally broke away from the cover of the fog and appeared in front of Su Ming’s eyes for the first time.
Looking from afar, it had purplish-green feathers, a pair of pitch-black sharp claws, and a sharp beak. There were even two slender tail feathers floating behind it. They were red and yellow in color and were abnormally bright, it made people feel a sense of awe.
Based on Su Ming’s own estimation, this Phoenix’s body length was around five meters, and its wingspan was close to nine meters.
This was much bigger than the elite Golden Condor and the elite grassland condor that he remembered.
The Phoenix that was flying above was not afraid of the lightning around its body at all. It landed on the giant tree at the top of the mountain like a king.
It let out a light cry again, as if it was vowing the return of the king. Its unique aura enveloped the entire mountain.
“Roar! !”
A tiger-like voice sounded near the top of the mountain, as if it was responding to the king above.
With the tiger leading the way, there were several wild beasts roaring in the middle of the mountain.
The result was basically the same as what Su Ming had expected. There were indeed a few creatures with elite strength here.
An intense aura pressed on top of Su Ming’s head like a huge mountain, making it unable to breathe and move a single inch.
Phoenix’s strength was very strong, much stronger than Su Ming’s. Otherwise, just the aura pressure of the same level would not make it unable to even have the strength to resist.
The other party was definitely above the elite level, the king.
Su Ming gritted his teeth in pain. The lightning strike and the aura pressure made him suffer.
Such a powerful creature, why did the humans not detect it? Logically speaking, whether it was their drones or satellites, they should be able to detect the existence of the Phoenix, unless such a creature.., it had only recently broken through, so the humans had yet to discover it.
Su Ming could sense that the Phoenix’s aura was locked onto him, an outsider, and it wanted to make him submit to it.
This was no wonder. After all, this was already considered the other party’s territory, and the creature that resided within should be considered its subordinate.
The other party’s intention was very obvious. It wanted to take in Su Ming, this new creature, as one of its subordinates.
‘that’s looking down on me! !’!
In order to deal with the powerful pressure, Su Ming spread out his elite tier 8 aura.
“Bang! !”
The two auras collided, giving Su Ming the ability to move slightly.
Feeling its aura being resisted, Phoenix, who was standing on top of the giant tree, was a little surprised.
It looked at the giant White Wolf at the foot of the mountain, its expression filled with curiosity. It suddenly retracted its aura and let out another cry.
“Whoosh! ! !”
It was as if it was ordering its subordinate creatures to carry out some sort of mission.
Su Ming, who was at the foot of the mountain, finally heaved a sigh of relief. He sighed as the other party’s aura retreated. However, in the next second, all sorts of stinging stares filled his body.
Su Ming smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that he was targeted by the creatures under Phoenix.
He had yet to find the two mutated plants that he needed. For the time being, Su Ming did not want to enter battle mode so soon.
Unfortunately, the situation was not up to him to decide. There was already a mutated creature charging toward Su Ming’s position from the mountainside.
The creature had a deer-like appearance. It had brown fur on its body and a huge horn on its head. It was glowing with a green light as if it was brewing some kind of energy.
Before the two could get close, the deer-like creature in front of it released a bolt of lightning through its huge antlers and attacked Su Ming.
“Boom! ! !”
The Lightning was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Su Ming. Just as it was about to hit Su Ming’s body, a green light flashed.
A green light lit up. Su Ming turned into an afterimage and disappeared on the spot.
The lightning passed through the remaining images and hit the soil behind it fiercely, creating a deep pit.
Fortunately, there were no flowers or plants around. Otherwise, it would ignite a big fire and cause a fire on the mountain peak.
The giant deer could not believe that its winning move had failed to hit its opponent. It still maintained its charging posture and looked around for the White Wolf’s dodging position, ready to make the next round of attack.
However, it did not expect that when it was running at full speed, a giant wolf claw quietly approached its side.
As the Wolf Claw fiercely slapped at the Giant Deer’s head, the originally aggressive giant deer was interrupted. Its entire body flew away as if it was hit by a truck and fell to the ground in the distance.
At the same time, the figure of the giant White Wolf appeared and stood at the position of the giant deer. An illusory panel appeared in front of it.
[ name ] : None
[ species ] : mutated water deer -- adult stage
[ rank ] : Elite Tier 5
[ strength ] : 18.4/25
[ agility ] : 19.2/25
[ ability ] : lightning speed, immense strength, Lightning Ray (horn)
[ mutation ] : Lightning armor (limbs)(25%)
[ lightning speed ] : due to the strange energy, the body of a creature has some changes. There is a lightning potential energy in the body. When it is activated, it can speed up nerve transmission, thus increasing the speed of the creature.
[ great strength ] : due to the strange energy, the creature’s limbs have some changes. When it is activated, it can erupt with strength that is far beyond the creature’s original strength.
[ Lightning Ray (Horn)] : due to the strange energy, the creature’s body has some changes. It can use the thunder potential energy in its body to be activated through the horn on the top of its head and form a lightning bolt, the lightning bolt shatters and shatters the opponent in front of it.
After taking a rough look at the opponent’s data, Su Ming’s evaluation was that it wasn’t too strong or too weak.
The opponent’s [ Thunder Ray ] shot through its long horn reminded Su Ming of the red deer leader he encountered when he was still at the normal level. The opponent’s [ fire ] ability.., it had a similar way of releasing energy.
However, in comparison, the mutated water deer in front of him was more powerful, and the [ Lightning Ray ] it released was more ferocious.
Without waiting for Su Ming to think further, the attack from the mutated water deer attacked him.
After the deer was sent flying, it quickly recovered and recharged the lightning energy from its horns towards Su Ming’s direction.
The bulging muscles beneath it added speed to its movement. The lightning in its body continuously struck its nerves, causing it to move as fast as a gale.
In just a few seconds, it had arrived in front of Su Ming.
This time, the mutated water deer had learned its lesson. It released lightning without a long distance, giving the opponent a chance to dodge.
It patiently waited until the distance between the two sides was close enough before releasing the Lightning.
Su Ming grinned. It just so happened that he did not want to dodge anymore. He wanted to see how this body would fare under the Lightning.
He raised his Wolf Claw and swung it forward, clashing with the surging lightning.
