The night is deep.
On the vast sea, strong winds rolled up dark clouds. Between the dark clouds and the sea, there was a giant dragon soaring.
This dragon is nearly a hundred meters long, with a wingspan as wide as a dark cloud. It is obviously as intelligent as a human being and is enjoying a swimming race below.
The one in front is a marine creature that it has never seen before. It has four limbs like an amphibian and is small in stature. However, its pair of forelimbs are swinging very fast, and its hind limbs are also kicking the water constantly. It is astonishingly comparable to those fish that swim the fastest. Generally, a long water line is drawn in the sea to move forward.
Chasing behind is a huge shark over 20 meters long, with only one fin exposed on the sea. As one of the dominant creatures in the sea, it obviously doesn't believe that it can't catch up with the new food species in front of it. .
The chase lasted for dozens of kilometers in a blink of an eye. The new species in front seemed to finally run out of energy and its speed gradually slowed down. Instead, a giant shark called the Vana Shark quickly accelerated.
Get close, get closer.
The giant shark's body surfaced more, revealing its teeth as fierce as serrated daggers.
But just when it was about to swallow its prey, two giant claws suddenly penetrated its body from above, causing it to scream and struggle!
But it’s useless.
Like a goshawk catching fish, the giant shark weighing dozens of tons was lifted directly into the sky by the long-awaited dragon, and was torn in half in mid-air!
Blood poured out like rain and fell into the sea. The giant shark, which was gradually losing its life, was bitten into its belly by the giant dragon one by one.
The giant dragon, which had a full meal and blood still hanging from the corner of its mouth, had a humane look on its face. Thinking of the prey it had just hunted, it lowered its eyes and glanced at it.
Then he saw the unseen creature lying on its belly on the sea, breathless and motionless, rising and falling with the waves.
Scared to death? Keep it between your teeth.
The giant dragon flapped its wings and descended. Just as it was approaching the sea surface again, it suddenly saw the belly-turned creature open its eyes and gave it a smile.

【Species: Tundra Dragon】
【Level: Level 73】
【Skill:? ? ? 】
Standing on top of the tear-filled dragon, leaning on the big bag he had just made, Ji Xing twisted his swimming trunks dry, shook his body dry, and put on normal clothes.
This is the 55th floor of the Mysterious Tower, where the ‘Ocean Map’ appears for the first time.
Just like the world of One Piece, it is completely composed of oceans and islands. The threat level on the islands is not high, and the difficulty is mainly increased by altitude.
Just like the shark that was just eaten, although it only has C-level strength, it is not surprising that it can overturn a B-level in the sea. And the dragon under the seat can already reach B- with only brute force. In the entire 55 The layer should belong to the top of the food chain.
Ji Xing has been exploring this layer intermittently at night for almost a month while practicing cooking and other skills and studying the holy spirit. The harvest has been good. His swimming ability has improved a lot, and he has also enriched his knowledge of marine life species. .
But so far I haven’t even touched the Boss.
“Although the difficulty is twice as high as every 5, it is reasonable for players to be stuck for two years if they can’t find the boss in such a huge sea area, which is almost the same size as the East China Sea in the One Piece world. There is no ship yet and players are allowed to build their own boats.”
There must be a trick.
He patted the dragon's bag, causing the dragon to grunt in aggrievedness, like thunder.
“Xiaolong, is there a place in this world that you are afraid of going to? Take me there.”
Knowing that it didn't understand, Ji Xing used his thoughts to condense mist-like pictures in front of its eyes as he spoke, including images of ferocious monsters and evil spirits, tower-like buildings, and even a 'Dragon Palace under the Sea'.
The mental energy that has been cultivated to the highest level can be used like a finger and an arm, and the pictures that are not abstract can be quickly understood by this tundra dragon with almost human wisdom.
Muttering like an old cow, it flapped its wings and flew in the other direction.
After a long time, the morning glow rose on the sea level, and an island was visible in the distance. Ji Xing saw a strange building in the center that looked like a yurt with a lightning rod on top, and smiled.
Soon the Tundra Dragon moved away from this insidious and terrifying creature with tears in his eyes. Ji Xing walked into the building and quickly saw the boss on this floor.
Human body, bird wings, long beak.
Seeing Ji Xing, its eyes immediately radiated scarlet light, its wings fluttered into the sky, and the majestic evil spirit quickly filled the entire building!
“You’re a first-time A-level monster.”
Ji Xing clenched his right fist, and it was covered with a very thin layer of golden luster!
Saint Thought Qi: Unawakened (Level 4) (699/800)↑
…
Bang!
Tower of Mystery, Level 51.
Amidst the dull sound of falling to the ground, the ferocious monster was stabbed through the chest by a horn and died.
The armored rhinoceros, which was bleeding gurglingly, quickly faded and disappeared, as if it had disappeared into another space. Only the slightly embarrassed baby-faced girl remained behind, happily wiping away the gray marks on her face.
“Well done, Kiriko.” Not far away, Yoshiyuki Negishi gave her a thumbs up.
Asakura Kiriko, a person with special telepathy ability, whose ability is "conquer and summon".
She has unparalleled affinity and can communicate with many monsters in the Mysterious Tower. If she can 'convince' certain monsters, she can make the monsters her pets, allowing them to switch between spiritual and physical bodies to provide her with fighting.
She has conquered dozens of monsters along the way, but her summoning limit is only three. Her mind is what supports her pets in battle, so she needs to be flexible and decisive in battle.
Just like being a Pokémon player.
Just now, she successfully defeated a monster on the 51st floor, which was regarded as achieving the minimum goal of a member of the strategy team!
Facing the congratulations from her friends in the 'Legendary Brave' team, she smiled a rare and shy smile and looked at Yoshiyuki Negishi.
The notification tone of the communication crystal is very disappointing.
“Hello, I’m Negishi Yoshiyuki!”
“Okay, we get it.”
Hang up the crystal, and he didn’t need to explain that his teammates had also heard it. The army who was always paying attention to the progress of the mysterious tower found that the 55th floor had also been breached by the ‘mysterious team’! "It's really outrageous. They can fly? I thought they would be stuck on the 55th floor for a few months. Our strategy team will never see the Boss again, right?"
“I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”
"Forget it, I can't control it." Yoshiyuki Negishi shook his head: "We will follow our own pace, put aside our curiosity, and never go to the upper floors if we don't get exercise on the lower floors!"
"Um!"
The five people continued to move forward. This time they encountered monsters and joined forces to attack. Three monsters below C- level could not withstand a few moves. They were also given free time to experiment with tactics, so that Kiriko could truly integrate into the team.
It was noon in a flash, and the five of them were all a little hungry. Kodaisuke looked around and said: "According to the intelligence, we should be very close to the 'acid spring' marked by Eugene's team. There is a very clear spring water there, but When you pick it up, it will emit a faint sour smell like sweat. It can be drunk after boiling. It is non-toxic, but the taste is ordinary."
“I remember that too.” Xiaochun nodded and said, “According to the records, there aren’t many monsters around here. It’s a good place to make a fire and cook, but I don’t want to taste the water that smells like sweat. I brought water!”
“That’s right here…”
Negishi Yoshiyuki was about to make a decision when his expression suddenly changed: "Is it foggy?"
The other four people were startled, and then they noticed that a faint mist had risen around them.
And the fog was obviously thickening rapidly, reducing visibility to less than 20 meters in just ten seconds, making them all solemn.
“Is it some kind of telekinesis or sorcery?”
“It’s not like that, I don’t feel the evil spirit!”
“Special natural phenomenon? It was not mentioned in the intelligence. Didn’t Eugene and the others encounter it?”
"No matter what, get out of this fog first!" Negishi Yoshiyuki said in a deep voice: "Kiriko Koharu holds hands, and Saseko Daisuke holds hands, forming an inverted A-shaped formation. Be alert to the surroundings and follow my footsteps."
"good!"
The five people quickly returned the same way.
Five pairs of eyes watch the surroundings.
In the hazy moment, only Asakura Kiriko saw some kind of creature in the depths of the mist. Its outline vaguely resembled a penguin, its body almost blended into the mist, and only a pair of dark eyes that looked unblinking from his own. match.
It only lasted a moment, and then disappeared!
"careful!"
At the same time she blurted out the warning, the five people also rushed out of the fog, and in an instant changed their formation, half surrounding the fog.
This is not about extra protection, but that team members who find traces of monsters often receive special care and need immediate assistance.
After being alert for more than ten seconds, but nothing happened, Negishi Yoshiyuki asked: "Kiriko, did you see a monster?"
"...It seems so." Wuzi's face turned pale: "There is a very vague shadow in the mist. It's not like any monster I've seen before...I, I can't be sure. Come to think of it...it's a bit like a ghost."
"Like a ghost?" Negishi Yoshiyuki frowned: "It's not in the information, the fog seems to be no accident, we encountered a rare monster. Really, it scares a person to death, doesn't it mean that it has been fully explored?"
"I told you not to have a crow's mouth." Xiaochun gave him a roll of his eyes, "I guess he didn't chase him out. Mark this position and go back to explore again. Fighting in the fog is still very dangerous."
Negishi Yoshiyuki scratched his head and felt that he had been having bad luck recently, so he said harshly: "It's Eugene's fault, he explored this place!"
A few people complained for a while and began to discuss where to fill their stomachs. Negishi Yoshiyuki suddenly noticed that Kiriko didn't speak for a while. When he turned around, he realized that Kiroko's face was still pale.
"Uh... Wuzi, are you scared? That can't be a real ghost, it's just an unknown monster. We can kill it if it comes out."
“Yes, Wuzi.” Other teammates saw this and quickly comforted him.
Wuzi shook his head slightly, as if to say he was fine, but his expression had not yet recovered, and he suddenly whispered: "Brother Yi Xing, can you hold my hand?"
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
“Ahem, cough, cough…” The next moment, Koharu and the other three coughed loudly and turned their heads to the other side. Although they knew that Kiriko had a good impression of Yoshiyuki, they never expected that it would be Kiriko who finally hit the straight ball? That idiot Yoshiyuki is so lucky!
Negishi Yoshiyuki was almost stupid, happy and stupid.
“Hehe, hehe, of course...”
The girl's soft little hand was grabbed by him, and Negishi Yoshiyuki's nose twitched like a pig.
He then heard Wuzi whisper: "Brother Yi Xing...can you, can you hug me?"
“Hiss…” Xiaochun and the other three gasped.
Negishi Yoshiyuki swallowed: "Oh~!"
He didn’t dare to exert any force, but with a gentle hug, his face turned red. After letting go, he found that Wuzi’s face finally had a touch of blood.
“Brother Yi Xing, can you kiss me?”
Oh My God? !
complete in one step? ! There won’t be anything inappropriate for children later, right? The same exclamation echoed in the hearts of the four people. Although they knew that Wuzi was a shy but brave girl, who would have thought...
"It's too, too fast." Negishi Yoshiyuki refused, but unknowingly he got close to Kiriko's cheek and touched it lightly.
“Hey~” The other three people made disgusted sounds.
Negishi Yoshiyuki was so beautiful that he smiled foolishly and said: "Kiriko, then we will..."
The words suddenly stopped.
The pupils of Negishi Yoshiyuki shrank like needles!
A chill rose from the base of his feet and penetrated directly to his spine, freezing him into ice!
In his sight, the originally cute baby-faced girl suddenly lost her human face and turned into a strange creature with two black eye holes and pure black crescent lips!
“Mist, fog?!”
It’s 3k4 again.
