Chapter 254 Meng Po's Generous Gift
Chapter 254 Meng Po's Generous Gift
Meng Po slowly rose to her feet, her wide black robe billowing without wind, and an extremely oppressive dark aura instantly enveloped the entire Naihe Bridge.
The spoon rubbed against the bowl, producing a sharp, piercing sound, like a death knell from the deepest hell, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
"How dare you play tricks right under my nose!" Meng Po's voice was hoarse and cold, like two giant rocks rubbing against each other.
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hands, and the waters of the River of Oblivion instantly boiled and condensed into countless sharp water spikes, shooting towards everyone like a volley of arrows.
Captain Yi Xiao Naihe reacted quickly, shouting, "Scatter!" The group scattered like arrows.
While directing the four divine beasts to resist the water spikes, Yuan Bao quickly used the Medicine King's Divine Hand to provide his teammates with protective shields.
The Azure Dragon roared to the sky, and the cold air it exhaled condensed into an ice shield in the air, blocking most of the water spikes.
The white tiger pounced on Meng Po like a white lightning bolt, attempting a close-range attack.
Meng Po snorted coldly, and with a gentle wave of her ladle, a black wave of energy instantly repelled the white tiger.
Seeing this, the rogue immediately summoned a swamp at Meng Po's feet in an attempt to restrict her movements.
As soon as Meng Po's feet sank into the swamp, she stomped her feet hard, and the powerful shockwave instantly dispersed the swamp.
Meteor seized the opportunity, drew his bow and shot an arrow, which flew towards Meng Po with a sharp whistling sound.
Meng Po remained calm and unhurried. She reached out and gently grabbed the arrow, which stopped in mid-air before she threw it back.
Yuan Bao reacted swiftly, directing the Vermilion Bird to unleash a raging inferno, burning the arrows to ashes.
As dawn broke, wielding his sharp blade, he charged at Meng Po from the side while she was distracted.
Sensing the danger, Meng Po turned around and flicked her sleeve, sending Po Xiao flying with a powerful impact.
When Yuan Bao saw that Po Xiao was injured, he felt a pang of anxiety and intensified the treatment efforts to ensure his teammate's safety.
Yi Xiao Naihe knew how formidable Meng Po was, and that brute force alone would not be enough to defeat her.
While dodging Meng Po's attacks, he observed her weaknesses.
Suddenly, he noticed that before each attack, Meng Po would slightly shake the ladle in her hand.
He immediately shared this discovery with his teammates, and they decided to use it as a starting point to develop a new battle plan.
In the ensuing battle, Pizi and Meteor constantly used ranged attacks to distract Meng Po, while Yuan Bao commanded the four divine beasts to harass her from different directions.
At dawn, seizing the opportune moment, he charged at Meng Po once more.
Just as Meng Po was about to launch her attack, Yi Xiao Nai shouted, "Now!"
The group launched their attack simultaneously, their combined power shooting towards Meng Po like a dazzling beam of light...
Meng Po's enormous body crashed to the ground under the combined attack of the crowd, and the surrounding darkness instantly dissipated, replaced by a soft light.
The River of Oblivion returned to calm, the eerie mist that had shrouded the Bridge of Helplessness gradually dissipated, and sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining upon this mysterious land.
The team members finally relaxed, looked at each other, and their faces were filled with the joy of surviving a disaster and the pride of victory.
"We did it!" the scoundrel shouted excitedly, his voice echoing across the empty banks of the River of Oblivion.
Yuan Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead, a sense of accomplishment welling up inside him.
Looking at her teammates beside her, she sincerely exclaimed, "This success is entirely due to everyone's concerted efforts; no one could be missing."
Captain Yi Xiao Naihe walked over, patted Yuan Bao on the shoulder, and praised, "That's right, especially Yuan Bao. Your command and healing were the key to our victory."
Just then, a cheerful system notification sounded: "Congratulations to all players for successfully clearing the dungeon! Due to your successful disguises multiple times, which reduced the challenge difficulty, the rewards will be greatly increased this time."
Everyone eagerly opened the rewards interface and saw the generous game points and rare items, all of which brought smiles of satisfaction to their faces.
When it came time to settle the rewards, Yuan Bao didn't hesitate to choose points again.
Seeing the number on the points column jump up suddenly, increasing by 10,000 in one go, her eyes lit up, and she was so excited that she almost jumped up.
We are now only 20 points away from the 5 points required for the system upgrade.
Unable to contain his excitement, Yuan Bao eagerly called out to Xiao 9: "Xiao 9, come and see! This time, we actually gained 10,000 points in the Meng Po dungeon. We're only 50,000 points away from our goal of 200,000!"
At this rate, five or six more missions like this and the system will be able to upgrade!
Little 9 twirled excitedly in the air, its round eyes sparkling with joy: "That's right! Who would have thought that Meng Po would be so generous this time!"
Yuan Bao clenched his fist, his eyes filled with determination: "Next, we need to work even harder to upgrade the system as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the system notification sounded again: "Your four divine beasts have accumulated a massive amount of experience points in this Wangchuan series of story missions and have successfully advanced."
Currently, the individual combat power of the four divine beasts has increased by 20%, and their combined combat power has increased by a staggering 50%!
Yuan Bao's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't wait to open the pet panel.
The icons of the four divine beasts, which originally emitted a faint glow, now shone even brighter.
The azure halo surrounding the Azure Dragon became even more dazzling, and its scales shimmered with a jade-like light.
The stripes on the white tiger's body became clearer, the king character on its forehead shone with light, and its sharp claws swept across the void, creating ripples.
The Vermilion Bird's feathers are so vibrant and lustrous, each one like a burning flame, and with each flap of its wings, waves of fire surge.
The patterns on the Xuanwu's tortoise shell are more intricate and mysterious, as if it can withstand all attacks in the world.
With excitement, Yuan Bao arrived at the training ground, determined to test the new strength of the divine beast.
With a thought, the four divine beasts instantly appeared in the center of the space, exuding a majestic aura.
Yuan Bao gave the attack order, and Azure Dragon took the lead. It roared to the sky, and a thick azure tornado carrying ice shards swept across the field in an instant.
The originally sturdy training target was torn to shreds like paper under the impact of the tornado.
The white tiger's hind leg muscles tightened, and it darted out like lightning, carving deep furrows into the ground with its sharp claws wherever it went.
It lunged precisely at its target, and with a single strike, the specially designed defensive stake collapsed.
The Vermilion Bird spread its wings and soared into the sky, spewing out a pillar of flame tens of meters long. The intense heat distorted and deformed the surrounding air, instantly melting the originally hard rocks.
Xuanwu then unleashed a brand-new defensive skill. Mysterious runes appeared on the surface of its huge tortoise shell, forming an indestructible shield. Yuan Bao tried to launch a ranged attack, but all the attacks were deflected the moment they touched the shield.
The scene was even more breathtaking when the four divine beasts launched a joint attack.
They worked in perfect harmony, with the Azure Dragon's chilling aura, the White Tiger's claw-like wind, the Vermilion Bird's flames, and the Black Tortoise's rock projectiles intertwining to form a devastating energy storm that leveled a corner of the training ground.
Yuan Bao looked at all this with satisfaction, understanding that with the improvement of the strength of the four divine beasts, he would have a better chance of winning no matter how powerful the dungeon bosses were in the future.
Just as Yuan Bao was basking in his joy, another task notification popped up from the system...
