Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

A pygmy monkey died under mysterious circumstances.

It didn't even see the five people reach the tree where it was before it was suddenly crushed to death.

At first, Sam felt pity for the pygmy monkey when he saw that it was dressed and used tools, and seemed to be some kind of uncivilized subhuman.

Sam: "Should we try to communicate with them? Isn't it a bit too cruel to just kill them like this?"

So when they encountered the pygmy monkeys again, Zhao Hao and his group chose to capture them alive and then have Sam go up and communicate with them.

To be honest, that pygmy monkey really did seem like some primitive, uncivilized intelligent race. As Sam spoke and gestured, it seemed to understand him quite well.

Sam couldn't help but smile, but when he turned to signal to Zhao Hao and the others, the dwarf monkey revealed a cruel and disdainful smile, pursed his lips and spat out a black poison needle!

The poison needle was deflected by Zhao Hao's invisible barrier, and Sam's smile froze.

Then the pygmy monkey died, and Sam hung his head and never spoke again.

All I can say is that young people are naive and overly simple-minded.

Let's not even talk about whether this thing can be called an intelligent species or not, even if it is, so what?

Those werewolves, vampires, snake people, lizard people... which one is easy to deal with?

It's quite normal for them to fight to the death with extraordinary beings at every turn.

It's wishful thinking to assume that communication guarantees peaceful coexistence.

Even among humans, there is endless fighting and killing. How can one expect to easily coexist peacefully with a different race? Wouldn't that be like putting one's head under the other's guillotine, with one's life and death in the hands of another?

The young Bronze Transcendent was given a lesson by several senior members, while Zhao Hao and his group entered the territory of the dwarf monkeys and began to "stealth mode".

Zhao Hao erected an invisible, sound-silencing barrier and led everyone leisurely up the mountain.

With Zhao Hao's perception and observation skills, no scout or stealth stalker could deceive him.

All the sentries and scouts they encountered along the way were killed, and there was no major disturbance.

Sam is simple-minded to begin with, and being in a period of emotional turmoil, he didn't think much about it.

Xi Luo had long been aware of "Big Boss Zhao Hao's" background. If it weren't for Zhao Hao back in the small world, he would have been dead for years. Even if he wasn't Zhao Hao's direct subordinate, he was definitely one of his own.

Meanwhile, Prada and Black Lincoln were secretly amazed by Zhao Hao, an unassuming temporary worker known as a master of slacking off in the Bureau of Mysteries.

I initially thought this backline support was a non-combat bronze-level character like Shiro, but I didn't expect them to have such diverse and powerful abilities.

His body also appears to be very strong, or he has very powerful protective magic, at least no less than the Black Giant Lincoln!

I'd heard before that he was a support-type magic-based extraordinary being who was proficient in defensive barriers and perception!

Those diverse barriers, with their complex functions and immense power, even initially managed to withstand a powerful attack from the Bronze 4-Star Frost Giant!

Is this the defensive barrier you were talking about? It's so lightweight!

If it weren't for that moment, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to enter the inner world.

Did this person really have so much hidden strength?

This is also why Zhao Hao has always been unwilling to reveal himself; one's public image cannot be allowed to collapse.

If someone who is just a "back row support temporary worker" is suddenly discovered to have so many hidden talents, it will naturally arouse other people's imaginations and will also bring more and more important tasks.

However, unless you simply give up and become a couch potato, such things are unavoidable, and they will only become more and more apparent as the world changes.

Of course, Zhao Hao was originally quite a "pseudo-lazy person," personally practicing the strategy of "building high walls, storing up grain, and delaying the proclamation of kingship."

Even if it's the end of the world, there will be someone in power to hold it up. Those major powers, those state apparatuses, those ancient supernatural organizations, those potentially powerful beings... would they just stand by and watch the world end?

It would be so much better to keep it to yourself and then surprise everyone at the crucial moment!

However, even though they didn't see the end of the world coming, they still took action. Their action was to pull out these pseudo-salted fish and lively big fish and use them as some kind of damned candidates.

That old fox is really shrewd!

Fortunately, I had hidden enough things to slowly expose them over a long period of time.

……

Although Zhao Hao and his group were a bit slow along the way, they reached the mountainside without any major incidents. They had dealt with about twenty or thirty dwarf monkey-men along the way.

However, this mountainside is where the pygmy monkeys gather, and their numbers suddenly increased dramatically.

Moreover, these vicious and cunning creatures are extremely cruel to their own people. I've already witnessed four or five fights along the way, and none of them have been without bloodshed.

There was even a pygmy ape who had his head split open by an unknown spell cast by a level 5 pygmy ape warlock! His brains flew out!

This thing is truly ruthless!

Zhao Hao learned through the Eye of Fate that there were two Bronze-level beings in this dwarf monkey stronghold.

But that doesn't matter, Zhao Hao and his team have already found a way around it.

Thanks to Zhao Hao's invisible dream barrier, there's no need to pass through the dwarf monkey village; they can simply go around it.

However, when Zhao Hao looked up at the mountaintop, he saw two additional prompts.

First, the mountaintop is the lair of a powerful dragon clan.

Secondly, there exists an extremely powerful supernatural entity that interferes with the island's spiritual energy, even shielding the spiritual energy sea from any disturbances here!

That extremely powerful extraordinary object must be the Ark of the Covenant. I never expected it could interfere with the ripples of the psionic sea in this area. No wonder no one has been able to find the Ark of the Covenant for so many years.

If the Sea of ​​Psionic Energy is a map, then the Ark of the Covenant is equivalent to erasing its mark from the map.

As for the powerful dragon's lair, what exactly is that?

It can't really be a giant dragon, can it?

While the weakest dragons are only bronze-level, such as Fafnir, slain by Beowulf in Norse mythology, and the red dragon killed by the Knight King, there are also high-level dragons!

Ladon, the hundred-headed dragon who guarded the golden apple tree in Greek mythology, should be a silver-rank divine dragon.

And Nidhogg, the Despair Dragon that gnaws at the roots of the World Tree, might actually be a Gold-level dragon, which is equivalent to a God-King!

Damn, could it be that some silver-level dragon on the mountain survived because of the Ark of the Covenant?

In that case, the mission is out of the question.

Just as Zhao Hao was about to back down, the Church of Original Sin also started fighting the dwarf monkeys.

At first, they didn't take the pygmy monkeys seriously. Although there were ambushes and sneak attacks by the pygmy monkeys, they were all killed in the end.

Moreover, since they are the elite of the Church of Original Sin, once they are on guard, the probability of them being ambushed and killed is very low.

However, what they didn't expect was that these pygmy monkeys were not individuals, but a group, and an organized group at that.

While they still thought they could kill these black iron monkey monsters directly, more dwarf monkeys had already received the signal and rushed over in large numbers.

Then the battle began.

While the extraordinary paths of these pygmy monkeys may not be as flashy as those of the extraordinary, they still largely follow the "warrior-mage-priest trinity."

Moreover, due to his physical size, there are many extraordinary paths for assassination, infiltration, and sneak attacks.

At least forty or fifty dwarf monkey-man superhumans surrounded and attacked about twenty superhumans from the Church of Original Sin.

Fortunately, they were well-equipped and well-prepared, possessing everything from psionic beads and potions to extraordinary items, and they also had three bronze-level experts with them; otherwise, they would have been completely annihilated.

At this point, even the proud young man, "Arrogance," could no longer maintain his pretense and had to take action.

However, the near-annihilation of this group of dwarf monkeys alerted even more dwarf monkeys, who, believing a powerful enemy had invaded, saw nearly a hundred of them rush down from their mountain stronghold. Even an old dwarf monkey mage of bronze-level rank from the stronghold went down.

It was at this moment that Zhao Hao and his group learned that there was another group of people on the island!

Chapter 370 Look! Dragon!

"What should we do? There seem to be other people down the mountain!" Sam craned his neck to look down.

Xiluo said, "They've messed with those ugly monkeys!"

"Isn't that great? Let's hurry up and get to the top of the mountain," Prada said casually.

It's certainly a good thing for people to attract attention, but going to the mountaintop isn't necessarily a good thing.

A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise, but who knows whether it will be a blessing or a curse?

Sam was wondering if he and his men should lend a hand to the people below, since they were human beings too.

After all, he was a kind and friendly young man. When he saw his fellow human beings in danger, his first thought was to rescue them.

That's true, otherwise, with his abilities, he could go anywhere in the world.

Bank vaults and boudoirs are places we can go whenever we want, and we can go there again and again!

However, this kid still attended classes diligently and even studied hard, intending to get into a good university.

If this happened to Zhao Hao, he would at least have to think about things like "stealing exam questions," right?

The other four didn't give him a chance to express his feelings, or perhaps the lesson the dwarf monkey had taught him earlier had really worked, because he still didn't say anything foolish.

Black Lincoln led the way, his psionic energy constantly circulating within him, ready to transform and engage the enemy at any moment.

Zhao Hao was behind him and could almost "hear" the roar of the spiritual energy circulating within his body.

Next came Ciro, Prada, and finally Sam.

Despite Sam's lack of lethality, he is the team's most mobile player. Positioned at the rear, he can react instantly to any unusual activity.

The mountaintop should be where the legendary Ark of the Covenant is located; the psychic energy here seems a bit off.

Those pygmy monkeys chose to settle on the mountainside, surely not because climbing was too tiring? So there must be something more dangerous at the summit?

Indeed, the mountaintop is the dragon's nest.

At Zhao Hao's pace, a few minutes of climbing would bring them to within a kilometer of the summit. And at that moment, they could already see what they were about to face.

dragon!

Everyone else gasped, but Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was a dragon, its level of spiritual energy was not low, and it seemed to be quite abundant, but at least it wasn't the worst outcome I had anticipated.

These are not real dragons, but sub-dragons with dragon blood!

When it comes to dragons, the categories are incredibly diverse, and even the original bloodline origins are not unique, with many similar branches.

Therefore, when people in the underworld talk about dragons, they are mostly referring to creatures of the dragon family, those with dragon-like attributes.

The lowest level refers to the general category of dragons, which do not have dragon blood but possess some dragon characteristics. Examples include earth dragons and dragon lizards.
