Chapter 881: Chapter 882 Highly Poisonous Lake_1

The further he walked into the depths of the poisonous fog swamp, the more intense the oppressive aura that pervaded the air became. Moreover, the deeper he traveled, the stronger the monsters he encountered. Song Jian was no longer seeing any monsters below level forty-five. Nearly every few meters throughout the swamp, there would be a monster roaming.

Splosh~

Song Jian stepped into a puddle of sludge, and suddenly, an arm-thick tentacle covered with green-black scales shot out from the sludge. This tentacle, similar to an octopus’s limb, was covered with suckers of various sizes and was continuously wriggling, which looked somewhat disgusting.

He had already encountered quite a few of these monsters, and after killing them, they would drop cooking ingredients of a decent tier, some even dropping gems that could be set in equipment to enhance attributes.

Song Jian quickly slew the monster, picked up a segment of the tender tentacle material that had dropped, and continued to walk forward.

After exploring the swamp for over two hours, his experience bar had increased by 6%, but Song Jian still hadn’t found a trace of the Sovereign-level BOSS. He hadn’t even encountered an ordinary Elite BOSS, which meant that the quantity of Heart Speech Grass remained at nine, far from completing the task the old dwarf had given him.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly saw a dazzling magical light illuminate the sky ahead, almost lighting up half of the sky.

Instantly invigorated, Song Jian quickly headed toward the source of the brilliant light. As he ran, he noticed that the entire swamp seemed to have been disturbed, with nearly all monsters, like him, frantically heading towards the source of the light.

“Could it be that some treasure appeared in this swamp? Is that what’s causing such agitation among these monsters?” Song Jian thought to himself.

Soon, Song Jian arrived at the location of the resplendent magical light. To his surprise, it was a lake spanning several thousand kilometers, with thick, foul-smelling green water on its surface. Bubbles constantly surfaced and burst, emitting a nauseating odor.

But within this seemingly lifeless and highly toxic water, there grew a strange plant. It resembled a large banyan tree rooted in the water. Its trunk was knotted, and the surface of its bark had patterns like animal scales. What was even more astonishing was its crown, shaped like a dragon’s head roaring defiantly into the sky.

The brilliant magical light that Song Jian had seen earlier was emanating from this tree. Along with the radiance came waves of a rich fragrance spreading outwards in all directions.

At first, Song Jian found the scent very pleasant, but before long, it became cloying, as if his entire body were enveloped in a mass of filthy blood, every pore oozing grease.

Around the highly poisonous lake, large groups of monsters began to appear. They gathered in greater numbers, and within a matter of minutes, nearly ten thousand monsters had congregated, a dense mass that was quite terrifying to behold.

Having the skill to enter the Divine Country at any time, Song Jian wasn’t too worried about being surrounded by these monsters. Moreover, the monsters near him seemed to be ignoring him entirely, their eyes fixated on the odd tree in the Poisonous Water Lake.

At first, these monsters were able to remain quiet, but as time passed, they became increasingly restless. Some of their eyes turned blood-red, radiating a frightening glow.

Thump, thump~

After a long wait, finally, some monsters could no longer restrain themselves and began to jump into the Poisonous Water Lake. Suddenly, Song Jian noticed that the oppressive presence that was always filling the air had inexplicably vanished.

Ao~

Agonizing roars came from the water as Song Jian suddenly discovered that the poisonous water in the lake was like concentrated sulfuric acid. Any monster that jumped into the lake was rapidly dissolved by the water, eventually becoming nothing but skeletons that sank to the bottom;

But this tragic scene did not instill fear in the other monsters. Instead, they continued to leap into the lake one after another, in a manner resembling suicide;

Looking around, Song Jian saw that, although the monsters appeared frenzied, there was a hint of confusion in their blood-red eyes as if they had no idea what they were doing, which sent a chill through Song Jian’s body. Turning his gaze back to the large tree in the lake, his eyes suddenly took on a strange expression;

“Could it be that this peculiar Dragon Head Tree is the ultimate boss?” Song Jian thought to himself, “All these creatures in the toxic swamp are its food, roaming freely around the swamp until it’s time for harvest, then they are all lured over…”

Just as Song Jian was pondering, he suddenly saw a huge dragon head emerge from the thick green water, two emerald eyes staring intently at him, and that oppressive aura once again surged in his heart;

“There’s actually a Giant Dragon here…” Song Jian’s heart sank, but the dragon head that was slowly emerging seemed to be different from his war pet, the Black Dragon. This creature had only one horn on its head, right at the position of the brow;

“Perhaps it’s not a Giant Dragon, but just a creature with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan…” Song Jian speculated;

However, at that moment, another Unicorn Dragon head emerged from the water. Quickly, a vast body stood up from the lake. This monster turned out to be a terrifying Double-Headed Monster with two Unicorn Dragon heads;

This monster seemed to be the guardian of the strange tree in the lake, standing motionless next to the tree. Its four eyes on both dragon heads were all fixed on Song Jian, appearing somewhat puzzled;

But soon, it seemed to lose interest in Song Jian, with both dragon heads beginning to look at the strange tree in the lake. By this time, the number of creatures that had “committed suicide” by jumping into the lake had surpassed three thousand, and there were still more monsters continuously rushing into the waters.

The thick green viscous water was like a bottomless pit, constantly swallowing the bodies of monsters big and small. The odd tree in the lake also began to slowly grow three dark red fruits;

These three fruits, originally the size of a fist, slowly grew larger and larger, eventually becoming three fruits as big as basketballs.

The surface of these three fruits also revealed scale-like patterns, emitting a dark red glow. Their light ebbed and flowed as if they were throbbing hearts.

After these three fruits ripened, the monsters around seemed to suddenly come to their senses. Now, only a few hundred monsters remained on the lake’s shore, their faces showing terrified expressions as they retreated repeatedly, some even scared to the point of wetting themselves and collapsing by the lakeside.

The Double-Headed Monster in the Poisonous Water Lake didn’t glance at its surroundings and slowly approached the fruits of the great tree in the lake;

“This monster with two Unicorn Dragon heads is the true ultimate boss.” Song Jian gripped the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand and thought to himself.
