CHAPTER: Blood Battle of the Injured Clone
As time went by, due to its food intake needs and power upgrades, the size of the sword armored flame beast had grown over seventeen meters long, taking on more and more characteristics of a giant beast while constantly expanding its territory.
Night!
A hundred meters deep beneath the ocean surface, the menacing sword armored flame beast restrained most of its aura, its tail swaying as it glided through the depths like a shadow.
Its massive form caused only minor disturbances in the water, aside from the waves it created.
This area was a small underwater mountain range, with the ground rising and falling. A few miles ahead lay a deep-sea region extending over a thousand meters deep, with a peak rising just dozens of meters from the surface.
In such a complex environment, even the sword armored flame beast had to proceed with caution, maximizing its senses to monitor the surrounding water movements.
After all, no one knew if a deep-sea behemoth lurked in the nearby deep trenches.
However, this area also had a wealth of mutated biological resources, and today it had already consumed several fourth and fifth-level mutated beasts.
At this moment, the sword armored flame beast had just swum over a trench, and in front of it stood a peak rising from the seabed, the highest point reaching only a hundred meters from the surface.
Just as the sword armored flame beast slightly swayed its tail and passed over the peak,
Boom!
The mountain below erupted, and countless massive tentacles burst through the water, rolling and crashing like a net of destruction aimed at the sword armored flame beast.
In the face of this sudden change, the sword armored flame beast reacted swiftly, unleashing its terrifying power in an instant. Its colossal form shot upwards like a shadow into the sky.
Boom! The ocean surface exploded as the over seventeen-meter-long black giant beast soared several dozen meters high, with enormous tentacles reaching up from below.
Bang! The sword armored flame beast burst through the surface, arcing high before crashing down over a hundred meters away, and then quickly dove underwater to several dozen meters deep, its cold gaze turning back.
What it saw atop the peak was a gigantic octopus, standing nineteen meters tall, with twelve tentacles, the longest four reaching over twenty meters in length.
The sword armored flame beast had encountered mutated octopus-like creatures before and had even eaten a few, but this mutated octopus was terrifying.
Its massive body was as tall as a six-story building, covered in thick black chitin, adorned with countless sharp spikes radiating a metallic sheen.
The eight thick secondary tentacles were similarly covered in black chitin, each lined with suction cups filled with sharp teeth, swirling violently to create tumultuous currents.
The four main tentacles, each over twenty meters long, had undergone mutation; their mid and rear sections were soft and flexible, while the front ends had become completely chitinous, like giant sickles with serrated edges.
This was a mutated octopus evolved for slaughter, akin to a demon, with dark power coursing through it, emanating a terrifying aura even stronger than that of the unicorn orca.
This was a seventh-level mutated beast, and not a weak one at that, as seen from its form, though what its innate abilities were remained unknown.
In addition, this mutated octopus had a strong capability for concealment; the sword armored flame beast hadn’t sensed any aura or threat until it launched its attack.
When disguised as a mountain, it had even wrapped itself in a layer of mud, making it very cunning.
At this moment, the mutated octopus, with two pairs of blood-red, enormous eyes, fixed its gaze on the sword armored flame beast, exuding brutality and greed.
Clearly, it had decided that the intruder in its territory, the sword armored flame beast, was to be its meal.
Meanwhile, the sword armored flame beast was also contemplating whether to consume this mutated beast or be consumed by it, feeling that if it devoured the giant creature, its evolution value would surely increase by at least a hundred points.
