136: Chapter 136 Escape from the Abyss
Of course, that was assuming the Lord of the Bone Mound even had a lower body.
Tang Mo was not sure whether the Lord of the Bone Mound actually had a lower body.
Fortunately, the Lord of the Bone Mound only struggled to rise and made no other moves.
Once the Lord of the Bone Mound stood up, Tang Mo's Divine Wrath Poison Lotus had finished charging.
Tang Mo aimed at the Lord of the Bone Mound's right shoulder and threw all three Divine Wrath Poison Lotuses at it at once.
Just a moment ago, Tang Mo had wanted to place an extra mark on Tang Yuyan so he could heal her injuries.
Who would have thought that within the shield formed by the Abyss Key, Tang Yuyan could not be affected by any spells; this was likely a design feature to prevent anyone from being controlled by mental-type spells.
Without the mark, he could not identify his teammate, so Tang Mo had to be extra cautious to avoid accidentally harming Tang Yuyan.
The three Divine Wrath Poison Lotuses flew straight toward the Lord of the Bone Mound's right shoulder.
Because the Divine Wrath Poison Lotuses were petite (compared to the Lord of the Bone Mound) and Zhan Wuji had been distracting it the whole time, the Divine Wrath Poison Lotuses successfully struck the Lord of the Bone Mound's right shoulder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A massive explosion rang out, and the Lord of the Bone Mound's body shuddered violently. Subsequently, black light instantly engulfed everything in the vicinity.
Tang Mo's heart skipped a beat; he had clearly seen the Lord of the Bone Mound loosen its right hand!
Without waiting for the light to dissipate, Tang Mo ran toward Tang Yuyan's direction based on his memory.
The power of the Divine Wrath Poison Lotus made even the Lord of the Bone Mound feel a sense of trepidation. In endless years, it had truly never encountered anything that could harm it.
Indeed, the Lord of the Bone Mound was injured.
Because of the God Slaying passive, all of Tang Mo's attacks directly ignored all of the opponent's defenses and damage-reflection methods.
Therefore, even though there was a huge gap in level and strength between Tang Mo and it, it did not prevent Tang Mo's attacks from causing damage.
The instant it felt the damage, the Lord of the Bone Mound subconsciously released the hand that was tightly gripping Tang Yuyan.
"Roar! Bastards! I will grind you into dust!"
The pain in its shoulder made the Lord of the Bone Mound feel humiliated and furious. It began to swing its mountain-like palms, attacking the ground indiscriminately.
The Lord of the Bone Mound didn't even care about leaving the abyss anymore; at this moment, it only wanted to make the guy who hurt it pay the price.
Although the Lord of the Bone Mound was attacking randomly, it still put immense pressure on Zhan Wuji.
Just dodging the Lord of the Bone Mound's attacks exhausted a great deal of Zhan Wuji's energy; there was no helping it, the gap in strength between the two was simply too large.
Zhan Wuji now only hoped that the siblings, Tang Mo and Tang Yuyan, would be safe and sound.
"Go back!" Suddenly, Tang Mo's familiar voice came from the darkness.
Zhan Wuji understood immediately. It seemed Tang Mo had succeeded and Tang Yuyan had been rescued, so he dared not linger any longer and turned to run back.
Just then, the black light produced by the Divine Wrath Poison Lotus explosion began to gradually dissipate.
Zhan Wuji saw Tang Mo's figure. Just as he had thought, Tang Mo was carrying Tang Yuyan, along with the shield, on his back using a tent.
Seeing this, a heavy weight finally lifted from Zhan Wuji's heart.
Now, all that mattered was to escape the abyss with everything they had.
But after the light returned, the Lord of the Bone Mound discovered Tang Mo and the others, and it suddenly extended its right arm and smashed it toward them.
Tang Mo was shocked. After taking three hits from the defense-ignoring Divine Wrath Poison Lotus, the Lord of the Bone Mound's right arm was seemingly unaffected and could still launch such a rapid attack. It seemed this guy's level and strength were much higher than the four Abyss Guardians.
Tang Mo guessed it was at least three or four hundred levels higher than the highest-leveled Iron-Armored Pangolin Lizard.
Zhan Wuji felt even more speechless. Not only Tang Mo, but even his Scouting Technique could not see the Lord of the Bone Mound's specific information; all there was were a bunch of question marks.
"If even at level 500+ I can't see the opponent's information, there is only one possibility: its level and strength far exceed mine!"
The giant palm in the air was about to descend, and at Tang Mo and the others' speed, there was absolutely no chance of escaping.
Zhan Wuji suddenly felt his body tighten; one of Tang Mo's tentacles had already tightly wrapped around him. Boom!
The Lord of the Bone Mound's giant palm descended, instantly stirring up a large cloud of dust and leaving a massive palm print on the ground.
When the Lord of the Bone Mound lifted its palm, there was no trace of Tang Mo and the others.
It turned out that the moment the Lord of the Bone Mound's giant palm fell, Tang Mo had directly activated the Dark Wing Boots' active skill, Spatial Walker, which allowed for long-distance teleportation.
At this moment, Tang Mo and the others had already appeared in an open space over thirty miles away.
"Roar!" Seeing Tang Mo and the others escape from its grasp, the Lord of the Bone Mound let out an angry roar and pressed its giant left palm forward.
In an instant, earth spikes covering the sky flew toward Tang Mo and the others; they were so fast that they were even quicker than the Lord of the Bone Mound's giant palm.
Zhan Wuji immediately shouted, "Little Tangzi, hold on tight!"
Then, Zhan Wuji activated his boots' active skill.
The next instant, their figures vanished from the spot again. When they reappeared, they had teleported another thirty-plus kilometers.
The sky-covering earth spikes missed again.
Seeing its attack miss again, the Lord of the Bone Mound was furious.
It extended both hands, pressed them firmly against the ground, and then began to heave its entire body upward.
The ground beneath the Lord of the Bone Mound began to bulge upward continuously, and massive cracks split open in the earth. A crimson light grew even more dazzling, as if a volcano were about to erupt.
The sudden anomaly caused Tang Mo and Zhan Wuji to look back, and they happened to see the Lord of the Bone Mound pulling its lower body out from the ground.
A set of eerie, red-glowing leg bones, the moment they emerged from the earth, dyed the entire abyss blood-red.
"Roar! Ant-like humans, how dare you toy with me time and time again! I will tear you into pieces!"
As soon as the voice fell, the Lord of the Bone Mound's figure vanished from the spot.
Tang Mo's pupils constricted. The instant the Lord of the Bone Mound vanished, his back went cold. A bone-chilling sensation instantly surged from his tailbone up his spine into his crown, and Tang Mo's heart gave a violent jolt.
It was a warning! A warning of danger!
Tang Mo reacted immediately and teleported again, reappearing in an open space over thirty miles away.
Boom! As soon as Tang Mo and the others appeared, they saw that their previous position had already been crushed and collapsed by a massive red leg bone.
Fortunately, Tang Mo's Dark Wing Boots possessed the effect of reducing the cooldown of all equipment skills by 99%, which allowed Tang Mo to teleport consecutively in a very short amount of time.
However, before Tang Mo could steady himself, another massive red leg bone crashed down. Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time the massive red leg bone landed, it caused the ground to tremble violently.
The Lord of the Bone Mound's eyes glowed red, and it let out a sharp cry from its mouth, "Stomp you to death! Stomp you to death! Damn ants."
Meanwhile, Tang Mo and the others were able to teleport and dodge away every time the leg bone arrived.
