Chapter 143



Suddenly a thunderous roar boomed from the direction of the mountain troll's cave, it sounded like a tiger who had a mask over its face but was still trying its best to howl . Immediately, everyone tensed up and their heartbeat became faster . Holding their breath uniformly, they carefully listened to the distance sound .

But after that beastly thunderous roar, nothing else followed it . Only the splattering sound of the rain against the tree leaves could be heard . After a while, one investigating contestant returned . His face was pale and his body covered in mud . His face was clumsily cut by a tree branch, and he looked extremely flustered and terrible . After panting for a moment, he regained his breath .

According to his report, it was confirm that the mountain trolls were indeed residing in a cave at the east . This contestant only had high agility, but wasn't trained specially in reconnaissance . Therefore when he approached closely, he was discovered by the mountain troll which led to that raging roar! This one roar destroyed his courage, he knew the dangers of facing a mountain troll alone . Scared witless, he fled immediately and only relaxed when he confirmed the mountain troll didn't give chase .

After hearing this contestant's report, Qiao Gun pursed his brows . This recent happening indicated that the surveillance range of the mountain troll was rather far, and yet it wasn't willing to come out and give chase . This meant that the 'bait', Seaman, had to approach very near to the mountain troll, to attract it to give chase! This undoubtedly increased the risk level of the 'bait' .

Obviously Qiao Gun wouldn't be a good samaritan and be concerned about Sheyan's life . Since the start he did not consider that this 'Seaman' would even survive . His only worry was that Sheyan would die even before displaying his usefulness by luring the mountain troll to the minimum distance . Then that would mean the Symbiosis sect having to sacrifice one of their own! If this led to failure and subsequent chain reactions . . . . . Qiao Gun would be in for a cold war . His brows frowned together .

At present, it could be said that everything was ready, all they needed is an east wind (Chinese idiom - lacking only one crucial item) . Qiao Gun sunk into deep thoughts, the lacking of contingencies in urgent scenarios was a skill he lacked . He frowned and pondered a short while, but gave up and strode to Sheyan to prepare executing the plan . In his heart, he was already sure this 'Seaman' was a dead man, and that he should arrange someone to take his place .

In such a vile situation, it would be lying if Sheyan wasn't a little nervous . But his psychological preparedness was always superb, furthermore he had already gone through a cool-headed analysis of the plot . Considering various contingencies, thus he silently proceeded . Because everyone in the Symbiosis sect had been startled by the terrifying declaration of might of the mountain troll, thus no one noticed the composed Sheyan . Only Diaz observed Sheyan's leaving figure, his eyes formed a suspicious glow .

The rain continued falling, Sheyan followed the muddy pathway . His footsteps were steady and uniform, leaving a firm footprint and equal wherever he walked . He seized this serenity to regulate his breathing, trying his best to reach the optimal state both physically and mentally . Although he had confidence in himself, but a lion would also do his best to capture a rabbit . What more against this legendary creature from Harry Potter's magical world, a mountain troll? Sheyan went through his personal plans again in his mind, and then continued on his way .



Within this half of the sealed up valley, the only active huge size creature is the mountain troll . Undoubtedly, the route Sheyan was using is the exact same road that the mountain troll uses to hunt fishes, causing the terrain to be vastly inconvenient due to the huge potholes . Footprint the size of a basin could be seen everywhere . Sheyan swung with the parang he brought to clear the way, he did not completely follow the road that was formed by the mountain troll . Instead, as he walked by the side he set up certain arrangements causing his movement speed to be rather slow . When he reached the cave, he took more than half an hour .

When he wasn't even close to the troll's lair, Sheyan could already smell an unexplainable stench . This stench was close to a rotting fish that was exposed to the sun . The mountain troll was obviously not a hygienic creature, in addition to its lifestyle within this enclosed region, feeling on fishes daily it was no wonder the filthy fishy odour . Sheyan took in several deep breaths, to allow his senses to get used to the stench . He then continued to inch closer to the cave entrance, slowly observing for any movements .

Regarding the plan that Symbiosis sect formulated, right, Sheyan had long tossed it to the back of his mind .

Presently, the rain had turned heavier, those impatient morons from the symbiosis sect would have turned anxious from the wait . However, Sheyan didn't mind letting them wait a little longer . Borrowing the cover of the torrential rain, Sheyan gradually crept closer . Within the lair, there was a faint phosphorescence, thus he could vaguely capture the outline of that massive and brutal beast . Fortunately from exterior information, the mountain troll was hailed for its devilish strength . Regarding perceptive sensing, intelligence, spirit it was probably close to zero . Thus Sheyan carefully activated his 'insight' ability .

"You activated 'insight' on that legendary creature, mountain troll . "

"Evaluation: Your distance between the target is too far, your comprehension strength is comparatively weakened . "

"Acquiring target's information failed, utility points deducted . "

Sheyan helplessly shrugged his shoulders . It was the first time his insight ability had failed . Fortunately, after Qiao Gun's investment, his current utility points on hand was relatively plenty . Thus he wasn't willing to risk going closer, but continued activating insight from where he was . After numerous failed attempts, he finally succeeded .

Junior rank legendary creature ability: Earth's skin lvl 2: Additional 5500 HP

Mountain troll special ability: Uprooting catastrophe . This enormous beast will occasionally uproot surrounding trees as weapon . Raising its attack power by 135%, its attack range by 100% . Ability requires 5-10 seconds casting time, when the mountain troll is uprooting, it will receive 200% more damage . Because uprooting is extremely energy consuming, normally after pulling out a tree it will rest at least 5 minutes before pulling out the next one .

Mountain troll special ability: Tree Toss of Slaying . When a mountain troll turns angry, it will throw the tree on hand, causing AOE (area of effect) damage . Damage value = ((Mountain troll's strength - victim's strength) x 2 )+ fixed 20 damage points .

Secondary ability effect: Knockdown . Enemies within a 5 metres radius of the tree's target will be knocked down for 5 seconds . During this duration, unable to move, attack or cast abilities .

Mountain troll special ability: Putrid . The mountain troll's filthy lifestyle habits result in a layer of stink covering it, causing close combat enemies to be affected by this stench . Accuracy lowered by 10% .

Mountain troll special ability: Original home run . Twisting its body 360 degrees before dealing a terrifying strike, causing immense damage and blasting off effect . Distinct casting action before ability is used, after using it the mountain troll will be unable to maintain its stability and lose attacking capabilities for 5 seconds .

Mountain troll special ability: Cardiac fissure . Releasing a furious roar, dealing enemies within a 15 metres radius a (physique x 1 . 5) damage, and lowering movement speed by 70% . Duration: Mountain troll's physique minus victim's physic . If the victim's physique is higher than the mountain troll, they will only receive damage, and not the negative buff . (For example, if Qiao Gun's physique is 12 points, then the duration will be 18 - 12 = 6 seconds) .

Individual special ability: ?

Although Sheyan had foreseen the legendary creature, mountain troll to be extremely mighty, he had never expected the variables to reach this extent! 18 points of physique results in 9 points of defence, that isn't considered high but can at least absorb 1/4 of the damage . Furthermore that earth skin lvl 2 legendary creature ability, instantly raises its HP to 5680 points . When Sheyan viewed these numbers, a desperate emotion filled his heart .

However, when Sheyan went through the attributes of this legendary beast carefully one more time, he found its shortcomings . That was the 8 points of agility . Furthermore, it didn't have any related abilities like basic footwork . Exploiting this deficiency in speed, long range combat contestant would definitely have the chance of defeating it .

Of course, if this mountain troll was so easily defeated, then it wouldn't be hailed as a legendary creature . Its 'tossing ability: Tree Toss of Slaying' and its 'roar: Cardiac fissure' was specially used to deal with long range combat contestants . The threat of the 'slaying tree toss' can be seen from a 10 points physique contestant, from calculations he would receive 70 points of damage . But this ability is not just an AOE damage, it further results in a frightening 5 seconds knockdown duration!

Within 5 seconds, even if the mountain troll was slow it would be able to close up the gap between the knocked down contestant by 15 metres . Following that, the terrifying 'roar: Cardiac fissure', although its damage could be considered as secondary, the 70% movement speed decrease is a nightmare .

To a far range combatant who vastly relies on agility and perceptive sensing, the terrifying movement speed decrease shouldn't last more than 8 seconds . But within this timeframe it is enough for the mountain troll to ravage them into a thousand pieces . Furthermore, could be guaranteed your corpse wouldn't be spared as the mountain troll had probably long got sick of its fishy diet .
