Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 94 Intelligent Life

The sixth level changed to an underwater environment once again.

It is said that only Hong can pass this level, and even Thor is helpless against him.

The moment Bai Yang entered and saw the surrounding scene clearly, he understood why.

This place is inviolable unless it is within a specific domain!

The Sea Serpent King is a long, winding snake with a bluish-black body and a purple belly, measuring nearly two hundred meters in length.

It's a genuine planetary-level aircraft!

There are a full thirty of them here!

"Your goal is to kill 30 Sea Serpent Kings within 60 minutes! Good luck!"

Good luck, you OOXX!

Bai Yang suppressed the urge to curse the designer. He really wanted to ask the other person if they were mentally ill.

What was the purpose of designing this thing?

The Golden Horned Beast is attacking Earth. All the King-level monsters in the East China Sea are collectively invading Jiangnan Base City. The first wave only has six of them!

You need a martial artist with the physique of a novice warrior to kill 30 sea serpent kings in the ocean.

It would be much easier to let Hong fight two Emperor-level monsters by himself!

Criticisms aside, giving up without even trying is not his style.

During this time, he also gained a lot of insights into the laws of water, and his ability to control water greatly improved.

When the preparation time arrived, Bai Yang stepped out of the safe zone.

More than 60 terrifying pupils, each taller than him, stared at him.

In the dim underwater environment, an ordinary person might even be scared to death.

Bai Yang moved his hands up and down in the water, creating nine enormous whirlpools around him, firmly protecting him in the center.

Then he drew his sword and began to generate a large number of bubbles, instantly hiding his entire figure within the bubble mass.

The sea serpent kings were clearly seeing this situation for the first time, and none of them immediately launched an attack.

Soon, Bai Yang expanded the vortex and bubbles to their current limit, and they attacked the nearest one on the other side.

The giant snake's massive, sturdy body was covered in scales, and it merely flicked its tail.

A terrifying current immediately surged through the sea!

It extinguished all the whirlpools and bubbles in an instant!

The momentum of this torrent showed no signs of abating, continuing its assault on Baiyang.

He quickly maneuvered through the water to avoid the attack.

The upgrade to planetary level is huge!

This sea serpent king even has the ability to attack from a distance while it's in the sea!

It's much stronger than the previous dragon turtle.

Although Luo Feng killed one very easily back then, that was after he had advanced to the planetary level!

The bodies of novice warriors are far too vulnerable to such attacks.

As expected, Bai Yang managed to avoid the first rapid.

More than twenty water jets immediately surged from all around him. He had no way to dodge them and his body was shattered by the water jets. Everything went black.

"To clear the game, you need the ability to move freely in water. It seems I need to shift my focus towards understanding the laws of water."

Standing outside the tower, Bai Yang reviewed the events in his mind.

This isn't a disadvantage, as the Golden Horned Beast possesses astonishing speed in the water.

Their future battle will most likely take place at sea, so it's good to be prepared in advance.

There's no hope of clearing this sixth level for now.

But Bai Yang still chose to enter again; he needed to verify an idea.

Upon entering the preparation area, he did nothing but speak in the universal language, "Hello, can we talk privately?"

The entire sixth floor went dark instantly!

All the sea monsters vanished instantly, replaced by a circular ball of light that appeared not far in front of Bai Yang.

The ball of light seemed to be very agitated, flickering incessantly, and a high-pitched, thin voice came from within it.

"Why do you speak the universal language!? Who are you? Do you know me!?"

Looking at the ball of light, Bai Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I learned my universal language from the terminal of the Ganwu Dojo. I had only guessed your existence before, but I didn't know you."

"A Ganwu Dojo?! You've encountered the Ganwu Dojo's terminal program?! Where is it? Tell me quickly!"

Mentioning these things seemed to excite the ball of light even more, and the frequency of its flashing increased noticeably.

"It's in my home now, but that terminal only has a very simple program. It hasn't become an intelligent life form like you."

The ball of light did not refute Bai Yang's claim that it was intelligent life; it simply kept pressing for answers:

"Please let me see it! Please? Bai Yang, I'm begging you!"

"So you do know my name. Were you watching me the whole time during the previous test?" Bai Yang asked.

The ball of light immediately replied, "Yes! I started watching you as soon as you entered the fifth level."

I want to see just what kind of weirdo... this amazing genius!

Bai Yang raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. Fortunately, the ball of light changed its tune immediately, demonstrating a fairly accurate understanding of human emotions.

He pretended not to hear and continued, "Did you evolve from the programming of the Ganwu Dojo?"

"Yes! The Qianwu Dojo has set up similar trial tower facilities on many planets, and I am its supervising AI."

After landing on Earth, Hong activated the mainframe, and I suddenly gained intelligence.

There's no logical explanation for how intelligent programs evolved into intelligent life forms.

In this universe, perhaps only the Machine Race knows some of its secrets.

Bai Yang didn't dwell on the question and asked instead, "You set up the entire Trial Tower, right? You've always been helping humanity."

"How do you know it was me? What made you think that?" The ball of light was clearly puzzled by this.

"It's simple. The monsters in the Trial Tower are all native to Earth, not species from outer space."

Someone must have helped input this part of the data; my friend once borrowed a holographic camera from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

So I know that with this thing alone, you can only capture the perfect appearance of certain monsters at most.

However, getting them to fight, or even to acquire a certain level of combat intelligence, to achieve the goal of training and honing Earth's martial artists, is not a simple matter.

There must be a very intelligent and powerful program helping to make it possible.

It's like giving you a beautiful picture and then giving you drawing software.

It's very difficult to recreate a new image using software while maintaining the style and detail of the original.

It's very difficult for non-professionals to succeed, and video is instantly countless times more difficult than images.

As for the lifelike monsters in the Trial Tower, the difficulty level there is absolutely terrifying.

The Trial Tower is capable of replicating things that exceed the normal strength of Earth, including domains and all laws.

Earthlings shouldn't possess such technological means. Bai Yang even doubted that the rough-around-the-edges cosmic-level martial artists in ordinary Qianwu dojos didn't have this ability.
