Chapter 448: 448 Chapter 448: To Rob or Not to Rob, That is the Question In a world filled with nothing but rocks and desolation, a green pool emitting toxic smoke and poisonous gas suddenly appeared. Lin felt it was strange and unusual. Especially the reactions of these monsters, which were even more so: Even monsters over level 70, even if they were just ordinary monsters, had a bit of instinct. Their instincts allowed them to sense danger and avoid seeking death. The closer the skeleton got to the pool, the deeper the poison it was subjected to, and the greater the damage it took. The pool was only about ten meters in diameter, so it could be called a pool or a small pond. Inside was green toxic liquid, constantly bubbling and emitting green smoke. The closer to the center, the darker the color and the stronger the toxicity. At the very center, it had already turned a deep ink color. Green turning black and purple. The skeleton stood by the pool, looking around. The surroundings were empty, not a single living creature in sight. Not even a single rock. It seemed even the rocks had been corroded. The rocks here were very sturdy, far stronger than steel. Lin Moyu didn’t have the ability to destroy them, feeling that the rocks were even harder than the ground in the core area of the upper space. But evidently, the long-term accumulation of toxins had destroyed these rocks. All the monsters stayed far away from here, not daring to approach. The area covered by the toxins was a dead zone. The water at the edge of the pool was light green and somewhat transparent, allowing one to see the bottom. Through some light, Lin Moyu saw that there seemed to be something at the bottom of the pool. Something that could exist in the toxic water. The skeleton squatted down and put its finger into the pool. Sizzle! Green smoke rose, and a large amount of toxins surged in. The toxicity of the pool water was far greater than that of the outside smoke. The skeleton immediately took significant damage. This damage was transferred to all the undead. With over 27,000 brothers sharing the burden, the skeleton could ignore the presence of the toxins for a short time. The skeleton reached into the pool and grabbed the object Lin Moyu had seen earlier, pulling it out. The object at the bottom was a crystal-clear piece of crystal. Lin Moyu’s eyes showed a hint of shock, "Toxic Crystal." It was the same toxic crystal he had obtained from the Earth Dragon God. He hadn’t had the chance to find it again since. Unexpectedly, he found another piece here, and it was effortless. Looking at the pool, there were more toxic crystals, especially closer to the center. Lin Moyu even felt that there might be legendary toxic elemental materials at the center. As the skeleton took out the toxic crystal, the snakes that had stopped outside began to stir. They all stood up, their eyes fixed on the toxic crystal in the skeleton’s hand, showing a look of desire. They clearly wanted the toxic crystal but were afraid of the toxic smoke and didn’t dare to approach. But even if they did approach, they couldn’t get the toxic crystal from the pool. They didn’t dare to get close, let alone enter the water. The toxicity of the water was far greater than that of the smoke. Lin Moyu ignored these snake monsters. He was thinking about another problem. "Should I go to the center of the toxic pool to see what’s inside?" "And how to bring back the toxic crystals." Killing these monsters wasn’t difficult, but the problem was whether it would attract a boss. Lin Moyu didn’t dare to underestimate the hundred-meter-long flying python. If a fight broke out, it would definitely be a life-and-death struggle. At this moment, the ground suddenly shook a few times, emitting a low rumbling sound. It was as if something had exploded underground. For a moment, a loud rustling sound filled the air. Lin Moyu’s eyes narrowed, and he saw all the snake monsters in the area moving collectively. Countless monsters emerged from under rocks, corners, and crevices. They crawled quickly on the ground, all heading towards the toxic pool. "What’s happening?" Lin Moyu’s eyes narrowed, feeling a chill down his spine. As far as he could see, there were too many snake monsters, not just tens of thousands. There were probably more than a hundred thousand. He tightly concealed his presence, not making a sound. At this moment, all the snake monsters, regardless of size, were heading towards the toxic pool. Lin Moyu knew something must have happened, likely related to the earlier tremors. All the snake monsters were over level 70 and moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the toxic pool. Just like before, they stood in a hierarchical order based on their strength and size, clearly divided. The skeleton standing by the pool looked very out of place. But now, the snake monsters’ attention was not on the skeleton, not even on the toxic crystal in its hand. Almost all the snake monsters were looking up at the sky, as if there was something in the sky. There was nothing in the sky except for the dim, mottled light. A few seconds later, another rumble came from underground. The rumble extended all the way to the toxic pool, causing the water to ripple. First, a large number of bubbles emerged and burst, releasing toxic gas several times stronger than before. Then the bubbles disappeared, and the water surface sank slightly. This continued for a few seconds... Boom! With a loud bang, the toxic water in the pool shot up like a fountain. A large number of toxic crystals were brought out, falling in all directions. The snake monsters went crazy, leaping up to snatch the toxic crystals. Lin Moyu didn’t let the skeleton do anything, allowing the toxic water to splash on it, making a sizzling sound and emitting thick smoke. The toxic water mixed with toxic crystals fell like raindrops. The snake monsters were clearly afraid of the toxic water, but for the toxic crystals, they went crazy. Over a hundred thousand snake monsters fought each other, vying for the toxic crystals. Some snake monsters leaped high and swallowed a fist-sized toxic crystal in one gulp. In less than half a second, another giant snake monster swallowed it along with the crystal. Some were lucky, swallowing the toxic crystal and quickly escaping, running away at high speed. No matter how many of their kind were chasing them, they didn’t look back. Soon, their bodies glowed, grew larger, and became stronger. The toxic crystal had been digested and took effect. They then turned back to continue fighting for other toxic crystals. Lin Moyu watched in shock at the naked struggle. To level up, they didn’t care about their kind. Boom! Another column of water shot up, spraying out more toxic crystals. The snake monsters fought again. Some toxic crystals fell near the skeleton, and it picked them up. The skeleton walked around the edge of the pool, picking up a total of seven toxic crystals. The edge of the pool was a safe zone. No matter how fierce the snake monsters fought, they didn’t get close to the pool. The pool continued to spray several times, releasing more toxic crystals. The skeleton now held ten toxic crystals. The only problem now was how to bring the toxic crystals back. The area outside was full of snake monsters. If the skeleton dared to come out, it would be devoured. Unless... Unless Lin Moyu took action and killed all the snake monsters. After five consecutive sprays, the pool seemed to calm down. But then, another rumble came from underground, heavier than before. Lin Moyu was startled, "It seems it’s not over yet." Suddenly, the sky darkened. The already dim sky became even darker. The snake monsters, fighting desperately, suddenly quieted down. In the sky, a giant creature appeared. It was the flying python Lin Moyu had seen before. It lowered its head, looking at the countless snake monsters fighting for the toxic crystals, with disdain in its eyes. Then it saw the skeleton standing by the pool. A hint of curiosity flashed in its eyes, and it opened its mouth and sucked in. The skeleton was instantly pulled in uncontrollably. It fell into its mouth. It closed its mouth and bit down, the terrifying force acting on the skeleton. With a crunch, the skeleton shattered into pieces. The skeleton died, and the toxic crystals it had just obtained fell. Lin Moyu had expected this outcome, "Such an unreasonable attack method." The Comprehensive Connection talent lost its effect again, leaving Lin Moyu helpless. These bosses always had one or two skills that ignored his talent. Either their instant attack power was too strong for the talent to activate in time, or they had unique abilities that bypassed his talent. The flying python bit twice, finding the skeleton unappetizing, and spat it out. Boom! A fountain erupted from the center of the pool, larger than before. In the fountain, Lin Moyu saw a mass of green substance. It looked like concentrated toxic liquid, deeper and stronger than the toxic crystals. It emitted a terrifying toxic elemental aura. It seemed to be some kind of toxic elemental material, at least of legendary level. At this moment, he felt the urge to snatch it. To rob or not to rob... That is the question!
