?Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Mountain Bear!_1 Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Mountain Bear!_1 “What do I think?”
Tuck lifted his head, looking towards the place not far away where the light pried open the edge of the darkness.
There was a somewhat narrow ridge winding its way forward.
Following the ridge’s winding path up the hill,
In the deep darkness where others couldn’t see,
there lay a powerful and astonishing Leader aura.
At the same time, the purple veins linking to the deeper Layers were clearly visible.
Demon King Traits definitely existed there.
“Honey was right,”
Tuck nodded.
“This is indeed a place worth exploring,”
All along the way,
Tuck could also use the world’s veins to find the correct path, even taking shortcuts to reach the deeper Layers faster.
But Tuck hadn’t acted so rashly.
He gradually understood the world trajectory wriggling within the layers of the Demon King’s Tomb,
even using the opportunities from the Layers’ movements, through changes in the different Layer veins, to investigate the situations of other Transcendent teams and even those pouring into the Dark Sun Dimension.
That was the most prudent method.
After all, Tuck certainly didn’t want to be trapped here because of his own risky maneuvers.
At the same time, Tuck had no intention of playing “guide” in the team.
If Tuck led the way,
once Tuck left, the path that the rest of the team had traveled would inevitably become a road of no return.
Everyone would have to die here.
But if Honey led the way,
it might be difficult,
but at least they could fumble for the pattern and make their own way back.
Getting Tuck’s affirmation,
Gudale looked around and spoke up.
“Since that’s the case, let’s rest here for a moment,”
“And then…”
Gudale looked towards the rugged mountain path at the edge of the light nearby,
“go up and face the tough battle!”
As a [Ranger] of the Sequence, Gudale had the ability to heed the voices of nature.
From the vines, stone steps, and the gentle stream not far away,
he heard the “bear’s” breathing.
The bear sleeping atop the mountain was an [Earth Giant Bear].
[Earth Giant Bear] is a terrifying creature that could rival Dragons.
A Lord-level mountain behemoth?
That seemed unlikely.
At least, this part of the Layered world did not seem capable of breeding a mountain bear of Lord Level stature.
But at the very least, it was a top-tier mountain bear of Leader Level presence.
The mountain bear lineage.
A Leader Creature approaching that of the Demon King.
Either would be a terrifying existence.
If it truly was a Third Rank creature,
even if Tuck was willing to fight, Gudale would try to stop him.
Gudale believed Tuck could escape,
but the rest of them would probably die here, becoming the mountain bear’s dinner.
If it was a Second Rank creature,
they could give it a try.
Soon, the campfire was lit.
The light from the campfire didn’t push back the darkness much,
but it provided a comforting warmth.
Everyone took out food to replenish themselves.
They had been in the Demon King’s Tomb for nearly half a day now.
They were either in battle or on the move,
with no time to rest.
They naturally wanted to be in their best condition for the upcoming battle.
Priest Honey extinguished the lantern in his hand.
Looking at the slight pained expression on his face, it was clear that the continuous release of the sacred glow had been quite an investment for him.
Taking out the pastries especially packed by Hilor, Tuck also ate leisurely.
Feeling the breeze to ensure there was no danger,
Gudale took out some fruits and vegetables to replenish himself.
Gudale was a devout follower of the “Vegetarian Sect” and a purist.
“If I didn’t mishear,”
“There should be a Leader with the mountain bear lineage up the hill.”
Gudale’s voice, along with the crackling sound of the fire, suddenly rose.
Although they knew a fierce battle awaited,
when Gudale detailed the creature they would soon encounter,
Many faces sank slightly.
Mountain Bear bloodline!
It’s a terror akin to the Dragon itself.
Especially the heavy knight “Marcus”, when he heard that they would be facing a Mountain Bear later on.
The door-sized, heavy battle shield in his hand suddenly became so heavy that he could barely stabilize it.
Mountain Bears are powerful enough to shake the mountain ranges themselves.
If he were to take the brute force…
His death would be beyond everyone’s imagination.
“What’s wrong? Scared?”
Raymond Corey leaned over with a laugh.
Marcus took a deep breath and said in a low voice,
“Every heavy strike from the Mountain Bear that lands on me will bear witness to my strength.”
“You’d better withstand it; if you get smashed to death in one blow, I won’t be able to save you.” Honey, who was repairing the lantern in his hand, was not afraid to stir the pot and earnestly added.
For a moment, the air grew tense.
“Once we go up there, be smart about it, don’t take the big guy’s attacks head-on.”
It was at this moment that Tuck spoke up, breaking the silence and the tension.
“Even Hilor might not be able to withstand it.”
“You guys just need to keep harassing and hindering.”
“I will be responsible for the offense!”
The words of Tuck relieved everyone.
After all, the Mountain Bear, a creature clearly stated in the Transcendent curriculum not to be trifled with.
With their physique and constitution, who resists, who dies.
Tuck looked towards the dark depths leading from the mountain ridge.
“After the next wave of dimensional shifts complete, we move out.”
It wasn’t long.
The layers of the world shifted, and loose stones tumbled down.
Everyone got to their feet.
This time, Tuck took the lead.
As they climbed, the snoring of the Mountain Bear gradually started.
From the initial soft snoring, when everyone reached the summit, the snoring was like thunder.
At the entrance of the enormous bear lair, ten meters high.
Gudale listened carefully.
A moment later, he turned to the others.
“It’s a Level 29 Mountain Bear Leader!”
“Moreover, there’s the power of the Demon Sequence inside; I can already hear those powers threatening me.”
“Looks like we’ve come to the right place.”
“Let’s start getting ready!”
Upon Gudale’s command.
Everyone immediately busied themselves.
This time, their aim was to go deep into the Demon King’s Tomb to hunt a mighty Leader-level creature and then transfer the Demon King traits back.
As the main target was to attack that mighty Leader-level creature.
Naturally, all core strength and resources were prepared for this purpose.
Even the exclusive reinforcement aspects of the witchcraft Tuck learned this time.
He invested some more Origin Energy Experience to kill mighty Leader Creatures.
It wasn’t long before everyone was ready to go.
“Who among you can summon flesh and blood creatures?”
Tuck asked.
Sheep Transformation could turn many different forms of life into sheep.
But the sheep that resulted from flesh and blood life forms had a more appealing scent.
“I can,” said the Priest Honey.
“Then summon one.”
Following Priest Honey’s summoning.
It wasn’t long before a Dark Charm Demon walked out of the summoning spell array.
The newborn Dark Charm Demon didn’t even get a chance to look at the world.
Tuck turned it into a succulent sheep with a “Sheep Transformation”.
At that moment, the snoring from deep within the cave was slightly interrupted.
The big guy inside seemed to have caught a scent of something.
Tuck glanced at the cave.
He sped up.
Then, in front of everyone, he started handling the Succubus Sheep.
The others watched on, eyes wide with amazement.
Seeing Tuck’s skilled operation, they realized this was probably not his first time doing this.
Before the big guy woke up.
A Shadow Flame Demon Wolf leaped out from the shadow nearby.
“Drive it inside,” Tuck ordered.
The Shadow Flame Demon Wolf turned into a “Sheepdog”, herding the “Succubus Sheep” towards the depths of the Mountain Bear’s lair.
