Volume 11: The Evil God's Temple Beneath the Sea Chapter 5: The Boss is Behind the Second Door

Not long after, Shuiyu Tianlian and the Eight-Legged Monster finished dividing up all the treasures here. Then, the Eight-Legged Monster shouted loudly, "Li Bin, let's go to the next treasury." Li Bin nodded and discussed with Shuiyu Tianlian, deciding to set their next target on Gate 4, while his cannon fodder subordinates remained carefully stationed outside Gates 1, 7, and 12 as before. However, having just acquired the treasure, everyone assumed their luck was good and did not pay enough attention to the doors of the three bosses. Shuiyu Tianlian even opened Gate 4 quite casually.

Right at that moment, a loud boom echoed from Gate 1. There was no need to look—Gate 1 had been forced open. Li Bin and the others, standing near Gate 4, could even feel a powerful cold current rushing out furiously from Gate 1.

Li Bin and the others were stunned for a moment, and then Li Bin anxiously shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, move! Block the boss back into Room 1!" The Undead Shock Drum, just acquired, beat rapidly, and wave after wave of sound quickly swept toward Gate 1. By the time Li Bin and their elite troops rushed to Gate 1, the boss inside was already on the verge of breaking through the doorway.

This was a super-giant whale, except that its lower body was covered in octopus-like tentacles, the shortest of which was at least eighty meters long.

The cannon fodder under Li Bin's command were swept entirely into the whale's mouth the moment those tentacles lashed out. "Good grief, it's a whale-octopus!" The Eight-Legged Monster recognized the monster before them. "A level 17 boss! Damn it, quick, find a way to force it into a cold place; it's afraid of the cold." Taking the opportunity, Li Bin glanced behind Gate 12 and discovered that the room inside was a space piled entirely with ice blocks.

However, all those ice blocks seemed to be slowly melting.

Without a second thought, Li Bin hammered fiercely on the Undead Shock Drum in his hands. The cannon fodder under his command successively hurled the long spears they were holding—this was a reform Li Bin had introduced to his cannon fodder troops.

He understood that his current cannon fodder were simply too weak. Rather than gambling on that rare opportunity for a successful attack, it was far better to directly throw their weapons attached with iron chains. Judging by the current situation, Li Bin's plan was quite successful. After five cohorts of cannon fodder had perished, the body of the whale-octopus was already entangled by countless cord ends, especially the massive tentacles behind it.

Under those miscellaneous cord ends, there were even signs of them tying into knots.

At this moment, the mages under Shuiyu Tianlian and the Eight-Legged Monster also went into action.

Naya, the magic hero under Shuiyu Tianlian, unleashed her full power, and water- and ice-type magic assaulted the whale-octopus like a tidal wave.

That whale-octopus also realized the situation was turning unfavorable.

Taking a deep breath, it inflated its body to a certain size and violently snapped the threads binding its body. Seeing this, the Eight-Legged Monster recalled one of his own skills and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Watch out, it's about to break through, stop it..." But Li Bin and the others' reaction was still a step too slow. A powerful blast of air erupted from the whale-octopus's tail, propelling it forward along the air current.

It crashed heavily straight through into the opposing Gate 2, and immediately afterward, Gate 7, which corresponded to Gate 2, slowly opened. The second boss was about to emerge.

Feeling the electricity-laden water currents transmitting from behind Gate 7, Li Bin and the others had no idea what to do, because all their troops were pinned down at Gate 1, and not a single soldier remained at the other doorways.

"Damn it! Liches, cast ice magic into Gate 2! Everyone else, follow me..." Seeing this situation, Li Bin shouted with a stern expression.

Realizing that he could play no useful role in the battle against the whale-octopus, the Eight-Legged Monster left his elite troops behind and swiftly charged along with Li Bin toward the newly opened Gate 7.

There, Li Bin and the others beheld a massive electric eel, over three hundred meters long, its entire body flashing with silver light. At that moment, the giant eel was gazing at Li Bin and the others with an arrogant look.

Once Li Bin's subordinates had all gathered, a hint of a bizarre smile actually flashed across the face of this gigantic eel, and then powerful electric currents began to crackle outward from its body.

Upon seeing this, the Eight-Legged Monster yelled in alarm, "It's a Silver-Light Electric Eel! Watch out for its chain lightning, drop to the ground quickly..." Only, the Eight-Legged Monster had forgotten that they were all underwater; no matter how flatly they pressed themselves to the ground, they could not evade the lightning's assault. In an instant, one-third of the troops brought by Li Bin and the Eight-Legged Monster were wiped out, and even one of Li Bin's Harbingers of Death was severely wounded.

Such losses infuriated Li Bin. He continuously hurled curse spells at the Silver-Light Electric Eel and began ordering his troops to charge forward.

Yet, attacks of this sort were merely like an itch to the Silver-Light Electric Eel, which was a level 17 boss. It looked at Li Bin with disdain while preparing itself for a second electrical strike.

Right at that moment, the severely wounded Harbinger of Death behind Li Bin suddenly spoke: "Master, I'm afraid I won't survive the next electrical strike. Might as well let me..."

"No." Li Bin naturally understood the Harbinger's intentions, but at this point, he was unwilling to lose any more of his subordinates.

"It's useless, Master. Leave everything to me." Disregarding Li Bin's objection, the Harbinger folded his hands together and rapidly chanted the incantation of the Prayer of Death.

By now, the Silver-Light Electric Eel also sensed a trace of unease. It looked around but failed to find any enemies capable of fighting it, only sensing that danger was emanating from Li Bin's side.

No longer hesitating, it unleashed an even more powerful bolt of lightning directly toward Li Bin. Li Bin stepped forward to the very front of the lightning, blocking everything for the Harbinger behind him.

At this juncture, the Harbinger's Prayer of Death was already complete. As his body dissolved into scattered black cloth fragments drifting in all directions, a grey beam of light shone directly onto the top of the Silver-Light Electric Eel's head. Following that, a statue of the Silver-Light Electric Eel materialized in Li Bin's hand, and that once haughty and peerless enemy fell right before Li Bin.

Li Bin glanced at the Silver-Light Electric Eel that had cost him such heavy losses and said grimly, "Let's go help Shuiyu Tianlian first, and we'll deal with this fellow later."

The Eight-Legged Monster glanced at the motionless Silver-Light Electric Eel lying on the ground and asked cautiously, "Are you sure that guy is already dead?"

"Of course he's dead. If he weren't dead, I'd make sure he tasted what it's like to wish he were dead..." Li Bin said fiercely.

Meeting Li Bin's gaze, the Eight-Legged Monster didn't know what else to say. He could only force a smile and hurriedly rushed toward Shuiyu Tianlian's location.
