Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1197 The Mud Lizard Predator (Part 1)

A narrow pupil runs through the center of its cold eyes, exuding the chilling aura characteristic of a cold-blooded animal.

The undisguised and imposing pressure that suddenly appeared in the distance caused the Turbid Lizard, one of the twelve predators near the Gate of Penetration, to abruptly open its long-dormant eyes, breaking the silence that had lasted for decades.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

A red core emerged from its mouth. The lizard seemed to sense danger in the air. Its four wings, which had been protecting its body in slumber, gradually unfolded, revealing a python-like body curled up inside. The dense, fine scales resembled crystal, giving it a translucent appearance. Its massive, spherical body gradually stretched out.

Gazing at the seven tiny figures in the air above that had disturbed its slumber, the lizard knew that it was yet another challenger attempting to become a predator.

However, unlike the challengers who had already entered its belly, these seven strange beings whose auras were linked as one possessed a power far beyond what the previous challengers could match.

"How dare you disturb my slumber, you insignificant thing! Do you also come to challenge my throne?"

Although there were seven figures in total, the turbid lizard, which had raised its scaled head and looked down from above with its massive body, focused its pupils on the mysterious figure in the very center that was twisting with light and darkness from all directions.

As its body fully unfurled from its curled-up sphere, the crystal snake tail unexpectedly landed on the ground with a "thud," leaving a furrow that revealed the explosive power contained within it.

Having gone from initial stumbles to reaching the pinnacle of its evolution, the Turbid Lizard's long slumber in the dimensional esophagus has granted it a long and rich lifespan and profound foundation. It is confident that it has become one of the truly top-tier powerhouses in the vast and boundless dimensional esophagus.

"Hehehehe, I'm very interested in the Gate of Penetration here. However, I've heard that only by becoming a predator here can one obtain the right to plunder the fragments of the Heart of the World through the Gate of Penetration. So... please step aside, or I'll kill you and use your corpse as an experimental specimen to deter anyone who dares to challenge me."

The six avatars of the Source of Annihilation had different expressions; some smiled proudly, while others stared indifferently. They followed Green's footsteps and slowly approached the Turbid Lizard.

"Hiss, little thing, it's time to let you experience the terror of the Gate of Piercing Predators!"

The lizard's initial heaviness had transformed into a resolute determination to fight to the death. With this angry roar, its serpentine tail suddenly turned into a blur, as if tearing through space. Apart from Grin, who was wearing the Mask of Truth, the other six avatars of the Source of Annihilation were all caught off guard.

"Depend on……"

With a "bang," an avatar of the Source of Annihilation was sent flying like a cannonball by the snake's tail, disappearing into the sky.

According to Grimm's own perception, the avatar of the Source of Annihilation was unharmed. With a series of cold laughs, the tip of the Extreme Abyss Magic Staff gathered a flame of annihilation, crackling and popping, accompanied by unsettling high-frequency vibrations, and black arcs of electricity that distorted light and darkness in all directions flashed by.

The overwhelming turbid liquid was the primal power of the turbid lizard, capable of eroding the mind. It was especially terrifying for passively evolved creatures, but for a Saint Mark Wizard who had overcome the tribulation of the heart, its threat was negligible.

The tri-colored eyes quickly analyzed the properties of the dark gray liquid. The extinguishing electric arc easily pierced through the wall of turbid liquid, and with a "poof," under Green's exquisite control, it struck the heart of the turbid lizard's crystal scales.

"It possesses such powerful defensive capabilities that it couldn't be destroyed or penetrated!"

Aside from Green's surprise that his extinguishing arc could only cause superficial damage to the turbid lizard, the turbid lizard was utterly horrified. Its prized crystal scales had been completely shattered by a single strike from this arc, damaging a portion of its inner structure.

"you……"

Before determining the properties of these dark gray liquids, Green himself carefully avoided the contamination caused by these turbid liquids.

Bang!

Suddenly, a tiny human form of the Origin of Annihilation avatar punched the head of the Turbid Lizard. The terrifying attack power of 850,000 degrees instantly created a layer of ear-piercing sound waves, and even the bones on the ground shattered, making some weak creatures that were secretly watching from afar tremble with fear!

Bang!

A blur of motion appeared, and another clone of the Origin of Annihilation let out a low roar, its expression cold as it slammed a punch into the abdomen of the turbid lizard. A power that distorted space actually erupted from the tip of its fist.

As expected of the Crystal Scales that the Turbid Lizard is so proud of, even the terrifying 850,000-degree attack from the Annihilation Source clone could only cause a shockwave, failing to destroy the scales.

"kindness?"

To Green's surprise, the battle did not unfold as he had imagined. Instead, the six clones of the Source of Annihilation swarmed in, completely overwhelming the turbid lizard and leaving it powerless to fight back, before he delivered the fatal blow.

Three of the Origin of Annihilation clones, after being stained with the grayish-black liquid, all appeared to be suffering from splitting headaches, in excruciating pain, and their bodies were unstable, seemingly about to be transformed back into magical energy.

"Huh, it can even affect thinking. This kind of energy is quite valuable for research. Hehehehe, I have even higher expectations for your biological specimens now."

Greene smiled darkly, and with a flash in his hand, an amber ring suddenly appeared!

At this moment, Green's main body and his clone seem to differ by only about 200,000 degrees in elemental amplification in terms of their essential attacks, but in terms of combat power, they are naturally different. This is precisely because of the diverse combat amplification brought about by Green's main body's magical artifact and elemental power.

Just then, with a "whoosh," the Annihilation Source clone that had been whipped away by the turbid lizard's tail flew back to Green's side. Although it was slightly damaged, it did not affect its combat ability.

"It's all your fault. You insisted on conducting the experiment to condense the bloodline of the Human Ancestor at this time, which prevented even us from unfolding our true forms and made us look like little kids to this guy."

While complaining to Grin, the Origin of Annihilation clone looked at the three Origin of Annihilation clones that were stained with the turbid liquid and suffering unbearable pain.

"What happened to them?"

"Hmph, you should be glad you didn't activate your true form, or you'd be just like them now. Be careful of the venom inside it, don't get contaminated."

As he spoke, Grimm's main body dispersed the three agonizing, annihilating clones stained with turbid fluid into magical energy, which then returned to his body.

As the purest product of passive evolution, the Origin of Annihilation clone only possesses Grimm's most basic emotions and thoughts, simulating the ability of passive evolution. Therefore, it almost maximizes the effects of the turbid liquid, and anyone who touches it will die.

Unexpectedly, here they encountered a strange ability that was extremely effective against Grimm's Annihilation Source clone.

Things that appear strong and powerful often have a fragile and vulnerable side!

After speaking, Grimm's three-colored eyes flashed beneath his Face of Truth, locking onto the turbid lizard's trajectory, and he vanished in an elemental teleportation.

"Wait for me!"

With a loud "bang," the avatar of the Origin of Annihilation cracked easily beneath its feet, leaving a footprint a hundred meters long. Its body flashed and sprang out, rushing towards the Turbid Lizard Battle Group, which was being suppressed by two other avatars of the Origin of Annihilation.
