Chapter 918 - 913: We Haven’t Opened for Business Yet on the New Continent!

Upon hearing his little brother Balrog's warning, Bai Pu retreated from his Heart Image Space, ending this session of meditation.

He jumped off the sand crab, lightly inserting his fingers into the dry seaweed layer.

At his fingertips, he felt a trace of dampness.

"You're right, the terrain is getting lower, and underneath the dry seaweed layer, there's already damp seaweed... This damp environment should be suitable for the ocean monsters that have just arrived on land to live in. It's indeed strange that no monsters have appeared here."

Bai Pu raised his voice: "We might already be being watched! Everyone dismount, back against the mountain rock, and protect Mr. Nikanuo and the non-combat personnel behind us!"

The exploration team progressed close to the Black Algae Mountain Range and quickly found a hill hollow that's easy to defend and hard to attack!

The laborers carried the supplies into the hollow, and several Bronze Medal gladiators drove the mules in, along with the Wizard Apprentice Nikanuo.

Bai Pu, however, stood with the Bronze Medal gladiators, weapons in hand, blocking the entrance to the hollow.

Behind them was the massive body of the sand crab slave, tightly blocking the entrance and giving the slave laborers behind, including the non-combat personnel Nikanuo, a great sense of security.

"Look at the ground!" shouted an Awakened gladiator.

The black seaweed suddenly bulged with several bumps, quickly moving towards them.

"Balrog!" Bai Pu called for his little brother.

Iron Spine Balrog responded, leap high with the Iron Spine Whip in hand, and stomped heavily on the ground!

The Iron Spine Whip, wrapped in fighting qi energy, whipped heavily in front of several underground bulges.

[Thundering Wave Shattering Rock]!

The dry seaweed ground exploded with a roaring sound, as if filled with high-explosive explosives.

Several underground bulges were forced to prematurely charge out of the ground, withstanding the shock force of this blow.

It was then that the gladiators saw the true form of these unexpected guests.

"It's Naga monsters!" Iron Spine Balrog was somewhat fearful.

"Their strength isn't as high as that of the one in the gladiatorial arena,"

Bai Pu's voice calmed the native gladiators.

In the sight of [Strong Enemy Detection], four Naga appeared, three of which had blue-frame elite templates, and one had a dark blue "Enhanced Elite" frame, presumably the leader.

These four Naga were significantly different from that one in the gladiatorial arena.

Naga General Volash in the arena had deep blue dorsal fins and snake scales, and pale yellow flexible fine scales on the abdomen, overall appearing "cleaner."

Before them now, the scales of the four Nagas were black, making their backs dark black and their abdomens light gray, covered head to toe in a layer of mud and decomposed black algae, appearing filthy.

"You vile humans, how dare you tread on our waters!"

The leading Naga Leader actually used thought sense transmission to communicate without barriers.

"Sorry, this is not your waters but land,"

Bai Pu stepped forward, "Since this land rose and emerged from the sea, it was destined not to be your territory."

"For the Rot Scale Tribe!"

The Naga Leader raised their coral stone spear, letting out an angry roar.

Three Naga soldiers charged forward simultaneously.

"Balrog, you keep an eye on the non-combat personnel. Bart, take your men to deal with the Naga Leader; I'll handle the remaining three Naga soldiers!"

Bai Pu quickly assigned tasks, leaving the strongest native gladiator, "Iron Spine" Balrog, to guard the home front, actually to keep him from taking action and contaminating the treasure chest.

The former pirate leader Balrog was quite moved.

Lord Dior is worth following; when things get tough, he's right there!

Such a leader, leading the charge, is hard to find even with a lantern!

Bai Pu darted in front of the three Naga soldiers, spear splitting into two sections, Doomsday Blade + Savior, in dual-wielding state!

In dual-wielding state, Bai Pu added all Celestial Human Attribute Points to Agility, with Agility attribute turning into 186+86+60=332 points!

Activating a small-scale Prismatic Domain, and counting the equipment speed bonuses, Bai Pu's movement speed reached 332+7+25+130=494 points, attack speed reached 332+25+15+20=392 points!

Truly fast as lightning, he skimmed the ground like a shadow, heavily surrounding the three Naga soldiers.

The three Elite Level Naga soldiers, impacted by the Prismatic Domain's speed reduction. Despite their effort to counter the domain with their skills and casting "Foul Odor" passive ability to slow Bai Pu, they still couldn't close the speed gap.

The Doomsday Blade's spear tip constantly bypassed the trio's coral stone shield, striking their weak spots.

The Savior's Hand Guarding Staff absorbed each of their chaotic counterattacks, launching a series of parries and deflections that made the three Naga Elite soldiers even more frantic.

Bai Pu's attack speed and damage reduction ability were cumulatively increasing with the layers of the two statuses.

These three Naga Elite soldiers had life values generally between ten to twenty thousand. Bai Pu didn't overly expend energy for an instant kill, each short spear attack dealing two to three thousand actual damage sufficed.

After dozens of rounds of tumbling and fighting, in just three to five minutes, it was actually a one-sided massacre by Bai Pu.

The longer it dragged on, the more despairing the three Naga soldiers became, realizing that as the battle progressed, the human before them only became faster and tougher!

Ultimately, the three were successively driven into near-death states, collapsing to the ground.

By then, Bai Pu's attack speed surged to 482 points, more exaggerated than those agility-based leaders.

Bart Team had yet to take down the assigned Naga Leader.

Seeing Bai Pu approaching with his spear, Bart realized he couldn't hold back his trump card any longer, lest Bai Pu underestimate them.

He shouted loudly, and the mechanical prosthetic on his right arm, [Melt Core Arm Armor], spun wildly, ejecting blazing white energy tails, striking the Naga Leader's waist and abdomen with the assistance of a few teammates!

This punch carried tremendous penetration power, forcibly embedding his fist, as large as a bucket, into the Naga Leader's belly.

Bart's bare upper body, with its existing spirit pattern, was rapidly filled with the molten rock's red light, which then violently poured into the Naga Leader's abdomen.

After taking the hit, the Naga Leader spewed a mouthful of bloody foam, which instantly turned into black ash and scattered!

This was a decisive move.

The Naga Leader, injured, tried to muster strength but triggered his wounds! All attributes dropped, and the previous fierce aura was hard to restore.

Bart's molten rock spirit pattern glow hadn't faded, clearly indicating a tyrannical amplification skill. With his muscles bulging, he executed a grappling move on the Naga Leader, holding it firm and immobilized.

Several Major Generals from Bart's team struck in unison, taking the opportunity to inflict damage!

Soon, the Naga Leader was brought to a sliver of health.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to try a control move," Bai Pu said.

"Again?" A Major General under Bart widened their eyes, "Lord Gangxin, we've yet to make a move since we arrived on the New Continent!"
