386: Chapter 270: The Strongest Snail 386: Chapter 270: The Strongest Snail However, these were not the most important matters.
The most crucial point was that this giant snail could actually resist the attack of his Mountain and River Sword.
Even those monsters capable of phasing through Olharast rock formations like Mineral Essence, when faced with the un-upgraded Mountain and River Sword, could only et the fate of being split into two with a single strike.
Not to ntion that the Mountain and River Sword had since been upgraded and had an added prefix “Refined,” the power of which could be imagined.
Up until now, only the real Divine Artifact, “Purple Cloud Divine Sword,” was able to withstand its attack.
However, against such a Divine Weapon, today it had been thwarted by this snail’s body, the blade only leaving a slight white mark upon striking, which was indeed surprising.
Zhang Xiaoman arrived above the Three Institutes aboard Dawn and, upon seeing the light spot below that emitted Dark Energy fluctuations, hesitated for a mont.
On one hand, he was reluctant to let go of such a big piece of easy prey; if he could take this thing down, he might gain a considerable amount of points.
Judging by the strength of the Blood Butterfly, it should be worth over 40 points at least.
Therefore, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity under any circumstances.
On the other hand, due to the battle with Emperor Vine just now, Zhang Xiaoman had already expended most of his remaining Dark Energy.
Thus apart from the Constitution Enhancent that was still in effect, many of his powerful skills were now unavailable, which posed a dilemma for him.
Based on the Dark Energy fluctuation, the strength of that monster was clearly very high.
If he recklessly barged in under his current state, he might very well not be its match, which would amount to capsizing his boat on a calm lake.
After checking the remaining cooling ti for the Soul Raiding Skill, with about 8 minutes left, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but shake his head.
“That’s too long, and the Azure Dragon Army might co at any ti.
To blatantly snatch the kill in front of them…
doesn’t seem quite right.”
After pondering for a while, Zhang Xiaoman eventually decided to strike directly.
In his Magic mory, he still had a full portion of the Star Knight; at worst, if he encountered danger, he could just let the knight join in, and he would decide whether to engage or not based on the situation.
Once he had made his decision, he leaped from the Anti-gravity Car again and landed directly on the roof of the Three Institutes.
Once he re-entered the research institute, he found it was in ruins.
The walls had countless large and small holes remaining from where the plants had been drained by the Emperor Vine.
The ti was around two in the afternoon, the pri mont for sunshine.
Because the electrical system had failed, the interior seed very dim.
However, at this mont, with parts of the wall collapsed, sunlight was able to shine through various cracks and lit up the surroundings, saving much trouble.
“Drip, drip, drip…”
Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t sure where, but a water pipe seed to have burst and water steadily dripped down.
He crossed over a little puddle and once more approached the hall where the snail was kept.
On the floor, a few unconscious Azure Dragon Soldiers could be seen; they must have lost consciousness due to the poisonous substances here.
Zhang Xiaoman checked their vital signs, which were all fairly stable, and then, without further delay, headed towards the position of the snail.
At this ti, the yellow poisonous substance in the air had not yet dissipated.
Fortunately, with the passive skills of Morning Star, he had no fear of these substances.
By now, the snail had moved from its original location.
Following the perception from the Spirit Detection Technique, Zhang Xiaoman ca across a room labeled “Containnt Room No.
9” and once again saw that round figure inside.
“Eh?
What’s this thing up to?”
Zhang Xiaoman arrived at the door of the containnt room and couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise at the scene inside.
He saw the giant snail resting on a large pile of leaves, slowly munching on them, one bite at a ti.
As soon as the snail saw soone approaching, it imdiately retracted its head in fear and hid inside its shell.
“Does this thing…
eat leaves…?”
Zhang Xiaoman had a peculiar look on his face.
In his impression, weren’t all these monsters from the dinsional universe supposed to play the role of destroyers?
Why did this snail look so strange, leisurely nibbling on leaves here?
However, even though the other party seed harmless, Zhang Xiaoman still did not dare to let down his guard.
He first summoned 8 Star Knights, commanding them to approach the target for inspection while he stood at a distance observing the situation.
The 8 Star Guards walked over and surrounded the snail in the middle; then, following Zhang Xiaoman’s signal, they began to launch probing attacks with their long spears.
Subsequently, a series of “ding ding dang dang” noises ca from containnt room No.
9, making it clear that the Star Guards’ weapons could not breach the defense.
Zhang Xiaoman also walked over at this ti.
He circled around the large shell and carefully examined where the snail’s head had retracted.
He discovered that the creature’s defense was truly comprehensive; even its only weak point was protected, leaving no place to initiate an attack.
Holding two Mountain and River Swords, Zhang Xiaoman raised his hand and chopped at the snail’s shell twice, but the result was no different from before, still unable to breach the defense.
“Hmm, this is kinda tricky…”
He stroked his chin, then activated his skill—Flying Sky State.
Instantly, the two Mountain and River Swords in Zhang Xiaoman’s hands began to float.
He grabbed one of them and chopped down on the shell again, hoping to see if the 5% Dark Energy Damage enhancent from this state would have any effect.
However, whether it was a regular physical attack or an attack imbued with the eroding effect of Dark Energy, neither could harm the snail in the slightest.
“Oh, co on, this thing is really impervious, huh?
Hey, I don’t believe in curses today.”
Zhang Xiaoman was quite frustrated, and his stubborn temper ca to the forefront.
If that 5% additional Dark Energy Damage from Flying Sky State can’t handle you, then I’ll wait a while and try the pure Dark Energy Damage from the Burst Spirit Skill; I refuse to believe that I can’t deal with you.
He sensed the remaining ti of his skill; the Soul Raiding Skill would be ready in about four minutes, so he decided to wait a bit.
Actually, in terms of hardness, as a red Divine Artifact-level item, the Purple Cloud Divine Sword could absolutely smash this snail to bits.
It’s just that its sharpness is limited, and he couldn’t possibly stab it in, which was a bit awkward.
As for whether he could force the Divine Sword in using the Sword Formation Skill, this was, in fact, not possible.
The descriptions of these sword formations clearly state that it must insert a “sword” into the “ground,” so the target must be the ground.
Unlike the previous sponge, even if the snail was placed on the ground, it did not fall within the category of “ground.”
So even though Zhang Xiaoman really wanted to exploit a loophole, the System was too rigid, and he was helpless to do anything about it.
