The deepest part of the third layer.

The oppressive rock formations overhead were no longer replaced by dark red, glowing minerals.

The deep, resonant vibration became increasingly clear.

Every few minutes, the ground would shake slightly, accompanied by a panting sound similar to the pulling of a bellows.

"This commotion is too loud."

Wang Tie lowered his voice, the hilt of the knife in his hand creaking under his grip.

He's been in this business for a long time and has an almost animalistic instinct for danger.

"Lin Feng, we're probably not far from that 'source.' Should we find somewhere to hide first?"

Lin Feng didn't speak; he was staring at a puddle of slime at his feet.

The viscous liquid is pale yellow and hangs on the edge of the rock, still hissing and emitting white smoke, corroding small pits into the hard ore.

He used the tip of his knife to pick up a little of the mucus, brought it to his nose, and smelled it.

A strong smell of rotting flesh assaulted my senses.

"This is the secretion from the alien beast when it lays its eggs."

Lin Feng has always done well in his academic subjects, so this knowledge is not difficult for him.

He stood up and looked at a precipice in front of him.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a huge nest ahead."

"Those unusual fluctuations were caused by this huge creature."

Li Ming's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Brother Lin, aren't the monsters most ferocious when they're laying eggs? If we go there now, aren't we just walking into a trap?"

Lin Feng glanced at him.

"The egg-laying period is indeed fierce, but it is also when it is most vulnerable."

"To become stronger, one must seek fortune in danger."

Lin Feng's words silenced Li Ming.

He remembered the days he was bullied at school and the high-interest loans his family owed.

If he doesn't become stronger, his life will remain the same.

"I'll go with you."

Li Ming gritted his teeth, his voice trembling, but his eyes were more determined than ever before.

The three continued to explore forward.

Turning the corner of the cliff, the sight before them made all three of them gasp in shock.

It was a huge basin.

In the center of the basin, countless bones of strange beasts were piled up, forming a small mountain more than ten meters high.

At the top of Bone Mountain lay a colossal beast with a dark red body.

It looks like a lizard magnified several times, with its back covered in dense bony spurs, each one like a burning torch.

The beast's belly rose and fell rhythmically, and with each rise and fall, a visible red ripple spread out.

This is what Zhao Tianxiong referred to as "abnormal fluctuations".

"Crimson Flame Earth Lizard..."

Wang Tie's voice trembled violently.

"This thing is already an E-rank when it grows up. Judging from its size, it's at least a second-stage martial artist."

"Lin Feng, let's retreat. This is really beyond our capabilities."

Wang Tie was genuinely scared.

The gap between a martial arts apprentice and a martial artist is huge, but the gap between a first-level and second-level martial artist is also considerable.

Moreover, this is a naturally strong and powerful beast.

Lin Feng stared at the Crimson Flame Earth Lizard, the long sword in his hand emitting a slight clanging sound.

That was the frantic circulation of his internal energy and blood, resonating with the blade.

[E-level Beast detected: Crimson Flame Earth Lizard (weakened state)]

[Defeating them will grant a large number of Martial Arts Points. The first time you defeat an E-rank beast, there is a chance to obtain a Martial Arts Skill.]

The system's notification sound echoed in my mind.

"Martial arts?"

Lin Feng was startled.

This thing is extremely rare; it's usually only found in martial arts families, martial arts universities, or the military.

Most of the fitness exercises circulating on the market are generic or incomplete, unorthodox methods; practicing them for too long can easily damage your health.

Occasionally, a few decent martial arts manuals might be found, but they are all incredibly expensive, and ordinary people shouldn't even dream of owning one.

"I didn't expect to get this from defeating an E-rank alien beast."

Lin Feng licked his lips, his eyes burning with desire.

He knew this was the biggest opportunity he had ever encountered.

If he can kill this earth lizard, his strength will experience a qualitative leap.

"Old Wang, take Li Ming and retreat to the back of that cliff."

Lin Feng stared at the ground lizard and walked forward without looking back.

"Are you crazy? You want to do it all by yourself?"

Wang Tie's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I'm not crazy."

Lin Feng twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.

"It is currently in a weakened state."

"This is the best opportunity we can't miss."

"If we let it reach maturity smoothly, none of us will escape."

Wang Tie wanted to persuade him further, but Lin Feng's cold gaze shut him down.

He knew that once Lin Feng made a decision, no one could change it.

"Okay, be careful. If things look bad, run away quickly, don't try to tough it out."

Wang Tie pulled Li Ming along, crouching low as they retreated behind the cliff.

Li Ming glanced back at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with worry and admiration.

After the two retreated to a safe position, Lin Feng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He reached out and touched the blade, feeling its cold touch.

[Steel of the Blade: 75/500]

I killed a lot of monsters along the way, and the number of floors I reached was quite considerable.

Although it hasn't reached the 150-layer armor penetration effect yet, the 50-layer armor penetration has already doubled his attack speed.

Lin Feng didn't think much of it and made his move.

Instead of sneaking away, he slammed his foot down on the rock.

His entire body transformed into a black afterimage, rushing straight towards the bone mountain in the center of the basin.

Although the Crimson Flame Lizard is in a weakened state, its senses remain sharp.

It suddenly opened its dark golden vertical pupils and let out a low roar.

call!

A burst of intense fire breath spewed from its mouth, instantly turning the ground in front of Lin Feng into scorched earth.

Lin Feng twisted his body in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the fire.

He used the bone mountain as leverage to leap, his long sword drawing an arc in the air.

"The first cut!"

Lin Feng let out a low shout and slammed his long sword heavily into the back of the earth lizard.

when!

Sparks flew everywhere.

The thick layer of dark red scales actually blocked Lin Feng's full-force attack.

However, the defense-breaking effect still worked.

A tiny crack appeared on the scale, and a trickle of dark red blood seeped out along the crack.

The lizard, in pain, let out an angry roar.

Its thick, pillar-like tail swept across suddenly.

A strong wind howled, sending countless pieces of bone flying.

Lin Feng dared not take the hit head-on. He lightly touched the scales with his toes and floated backward.

boom!

Its tail swept across the mountain of bones, causing half of the small mountain of white bones to collapse.

"That's some real strength."

Lin Feng landed on a rock not far away, his hand holding the knife feeling slightly numb.

The earth lizard's defense and strength far exceeded his expectations.

But he didn't back down; instead, his eyes burned even brighter.

"Again!"

Lin Feng rushed forward again.

This time, instead of slashing at its back, he used his agility to move around the lizard's belly and limbs.

brush!brush!brush!

Each cut was precisely made in the gaps between the scales.

Although each cut only causes minor damage, the number of wounds on the earth lizard increases as the number of cuts accumulates.

It was utterly enraged by this fly-like human.

The lizard struggled to stand up, but the pain in its abdomen made it collapse again.

That's the crucial moment when it lays its eggs.

Lin Feng captured that moment.

He leaped up and landed on the giant head of the earth lizard, holding his long sword upside down.

"Break it!"

He poured all his spiritual power into the tip of the blade and plunged it fiercely into the earth lizard's dark golden vertical pupil.

puff!

Blood splattered all over Lin Feng.

The earth lizard let out an extremely mournful scream, and the entire crack trembled violently at the sound of the scream.

Behind the cliff, Wang Tie and Li Ming watched this scene with their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"This...is this something a human being would do?"

Wang Tie muttered to himself, unaware that the knife in his hand had fallen to the ground.
