On the vast sea, strong winds rolled up dark clouds. Between the dark clouds and the sea, there was a giant dragon soaring.
This dragon is nearly 100 meters long, with a wingspan as wide as a dark cloud. It is obviously as intelligent as a human being and is enjoying a swimming race below.
The front one is a marine creature that it has never seen before. It has four limbs like an amphibian. It is small in stature, but its forelimbs are swinging very fast, and its hind limbs are also kicking water constantly. It is astonishingly comparable to those fish that swim the fastest.
Generally, a long water line is drawn in the sea to move forward.
Chasing behind is a huge shark over 20 meters long, with only one fin exposed on the sea surface. As one of the dominant creatures in the sea, it obviously doesn't believe that it can't catch up with the new food species in front of it.
.
The chase lasted for dozens of kilometers in a blink of an eye. The new species in front seemed to have finally lost its strength and gradually slowed down. Instead, the giant shark named Varner Shark rapidly accelerated.
Closer, closer again.
More of the giant shark's body surfaced, revealing its fierce teeth like serrated daggers.
But just when it was about to swallow its prey, two giant claws suddenly penetrated its body from above, causing it to scream and struggle!
But it's useless.
Just like a goshawk fishing for fish, the giant shark weighing dozens of tons was lifted directly into the sky by the long-awaited dragon, and was torn in half in mid-air!
Blood poured out like rain and fell into the sea. The giant shark, which was gradually losing its life, was bitten into its belly by the giant dragon one by one.
After a full meal, the giant dragon with blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth had a humane look on his face. Thinking of the prey he had just hunted, he lowered his eyes and glanced at it.
Then he saw the unseen creature lying on its belly on the sea, breathless and motionless, rising and falling with the waves.
Scared to death? Clench your teeth.
The giant dragon flapped its wings and flew down. Just as it was approaching the sea surface again, it suddenly saw the belly-turned creature open its eyes and gave it a smile.

[Species: Tundra Dragon]
[Level: Level 73]
【Skill:???】
Standing on top of the tearful dragon, leaning on the big bag he had just made, Ji Xing twisted his swimming trunks dry, shook his body dry, and put on normal clothes.
This is the 55th floor of the Mysterious Tower, where the ‘Ocean Map’ appears for the first time.
Just like the world of One Piece, it is completely composed of oceans and islands. The threat level on the islands is not high, and the difficulty is mainly increased by altitude.
Just like the shark that was just eaten, although it only has C-level strength, it is not surprising that it can overturn a B-level in the sea. And this dragon under the seat is already capable of reaching B- with only brute force. In the entire 55
The layer should belong to the top of the food chain.
Ji Xing has been practicing his cooking skills and studying the intervals of Holy Thought Qi. He has been exploring this layer intermittently at night for almost a month. The harvest is good, his swimming ability has improved a lot, and he has also enriched his knowledge of marine life species.
.
But so far I haven’t even touched the Boss.
"Although the difficulty is twice as high as every 5, it is reasonable for such a huge sea area, which is almost the same size as the East China Sea in the One Piece world, to allow players to build their own boats and swim without finding a boss for two years."
There must be a trick.
He patted the dragon's bag, causing the dragon to let out a grunt of grievance, like thunder.
"Xiaolong, is there a place in this world that you are afraid of going to? Take me there."
Knowing that it didn't understand, Ji Xing used his thoughts to condense mist-like pictures in front of its eyes as he spoke, including images of ferocious monsters and evil spirits, tower-like buildings, and even a 'Dragon Palace under the Sea'.
The mental energy that has been cultivated to the highest level can be used like a finger and an arm, and the pictures that are not abstract can be quickly understood by this tundra dragon with incomparable wisdom.
Making a mooing sound like an old cow, it flapped its wings and flew in the other direction.
After a long time, the morning glow rose on the sea level, and an island was in the distance. Ji Xing saw a strange building in the center that looked like a yurt with a lightning rod on top, and smiled.
Soon the Tundra Dragon moved away from this insidious and terrifying creature with tears streaming down his face. Ji Xing walked into the building and soon saw the boss on this floor.
Human body, bird wings, long beak.
When it saw Ji Xing, its eyes immediately radiated scarlet light, its wings fluttered into the sky, and the majestic evil spirit quickly filled the entire building!
"You're a first-time A-level monster."
Ji Xing clenched his right fist, which was covered with a very thin layer of golden luster!

…
Bang!!
Mysterious Tower, Floor 51.
Amidst the dull sound of falling to the ground, the ferocious monster was stabbed through the chest by a horn and died.
The armored rhinoceros, which was bleeding gurglingly on its body, quickly faded and disappeared, as if it had disappeared into another space. Only the slightly embarrassed baby-faced girl remained behind, happily wiping away the gray marks on her face.
"Well done, Kiriko." Not far away, Negishi Yoshiyuki gave her a thumbs up.
Asakura Kiriko, a person with special telepathy ability, her ability is "Conquer and Summon".
She has unparalleled affinity and can communicate with many monsters in the Mysterious Tower. If she can 'convince' certain monsters, she can make the monsters her pets, allowing them to switch between spiritual and physical bodies to provide services for herself.
fighting.
She has conquered dozens of monsters along the way, but her summoning limit is only three, and it is her thoughts that support the pet battle, so she needs to be flexible and make decisive choices during the battle.
Just like a Pokémon player.
And just now, she successfully defeated a monster on the 51st floor, which was regarded as achieving the minimum goal of a member of the strategy team!
Facing the congratulations from her friends in the 'Legendary Brave' team, she smiled a rare and shy smile and looked at Yoshiyuki Negishi.
The notification tone from the communication crystal is very disappointing.
"Hey, I'm Negishi Yoshiyuki!"
"What?! How did they do it? Isn't it a sea? It's outrageous!"
"Okay, we get it."
After hanging up the crystal, he didn’t need to explain that his teammates had also heard it. The army who was always paying attention to the progress of the mysterious tower found that the 55th floor had also been breached by the ‘mysterious team’!
"It's really outrageous. They can fly? I thought they would be stuck on the 55th floor for a few months. Our strategy team will never see the boss again, right?"
"I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."
"Forget it, I can't control it." Negishi Yoshiyuki shook his head: "We will follow our own pace, put aside our curiosity, and will never go to the upper floors unless we get exercise on the lower floors!"
"Um!"
The five people continued to move forward. This time they encountered monsters and joined forces to attack. Three monsters below C-level could not withstand a few moves. They were also given free time to experiment with tactics and let Kiriko truly integrate into the team.
In a flash, it was noon, and the five of them were all a little hungry. Kodaisuke looked around and said: "According to the intelligence, we should be very close to the 'acid spring' marked by Eugene's team. There is a very clear spring water there, but
When you pick it up, it will emit a faint sour smell like sweat. It can be drunk after boiling. It is non-toxic, but the taste is ordinary."
"I remember that too." Xiaochun nodded and said: "According to the records, there are not many monsters around here. It is a good place to make a fire and cook. But I don't want to taste the water that smells like sweat. I brought water!"
"Then right here..."
Negishi Yoshiyuki was about to make a decision when his expression suddenly changed: "It's foggy?"
The other four people were startled, and then they noticed that a faint mist had risen from nowhere.
And the fog was obviously thickening rapidly, reducing visibility to less than 20 meters in just ten seconds, making them all solemn.
"Is it some kind of telekinesis or magic?"
"It's not like that, I don't feel the evil spirit!"
"Special natural phenomenon? It was not mentioned in the intelligence. Didn't Eugene and the others encounter it?"
"No matter what, get out of this fog first!" Negishi Yoshiyuki said in a deep voice: "Kiriko Koharu holds hands, and Saseko Daisuke holds hands, forming an inverted A-shaped formation. Be alert to the surroundings and follow my steps."
"good!"
The five people quickly returned the same way.
Five pairs of eyes are watching the surroundings.
In the hazy moment, only Asakura Kiriko saw some kind of creature in the depths of the mist. Its outline vaguely resembled a penguin, its body almost blended into the mist, and only a pair of dark eyes that looked unblinking from his own.
Right.
It only took a moment, and then disappeared!
"careful!"
At the same time as she blurted out the warning, the five people also rushed out of the fog, and in an instant changed their formation, half surrounding the fog.
This is not about extra protection, but that team members who find traces of monsters often receive special care and need immediate assistance.
After being alert for more than ten seconds, but nothing happened, Negishi Yoshiyuki asked: "Kiriko, did you see a monster?"
"...It seems so." Wuzi's face turned a little pale: "A very vague shadow in the mist, it's not like any monster I've seen before...I, I'm not sure, think about it...it's a bit like a ghost."
"Like a ghost?" Negishi Yoshiyuki frowned: "It's not in the information. The fog seems to be no accident. We encountered a rare monster. Really, it scares a person to death. Doesn't it mean that it has been fully explored?"
"I told you that you don't want a crow's mouth." Xiaochun gave him a roll of his eyes, "Maybe he didn't chase him out. Mark this position and go back to explore again. Fighting in the fog is still very dangerous."
Negishi Yoshiyuki scratched his head and felt that he had been having bad luck recently, so he said harshly: "It's Eugene's fault, he explored this place!"
A few people complained for a while and began to discuss where to fill their bellies. Negishi Yoshiyuki suddenly noticed that Kiriko didn't speak for a while. When he turned around, he realized that Kiriko's face was still pale.
"Uh... Wuzi, are you scared? That can't be a real ghost, it's just an unknown monster. We can kill it if it comes out."
"Yes, Wuzi." Seeing this, other teammates quickly comforted him.
Wuzi shook his head slightly, as if to say he was fine, but his expression still hadn't recovered, and he suddenly whispered: "Brother Yi Xing, can you hold my hand?"
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
"Ahem, cough, cough..." The next moment, Koharu and the others coughed loudly and turned their heads to the other side. Although they knew that Kiriko had a good impression of Yoshiyuki, they never expected that it was Kiroko who finally hit the straight ball? Yoshihiro.
Good luck to that idiot!
Negishi Yoshiyuki was almost stupid and happy.
"Hehe, hehe, of course..."
The girl's soft little hand was grabbed by him, and Negishi Yoshiyuki's nose twitched like a pig.
Then I heard Wuzi whisper: "Brother Yi Xing...can, can you hug me?"
"Hiss..." Xiaochun and the others gasped.
Negishi Yoshiyuki swallowed: "Oh~!"
He didn't dare to exert any force, but with a gentle hug, his face turned red. After letting go, he found that Wuzi's face finally had a touch of blood.
"Brother Yi Xing, can you kiss me?"
Oh My God?!
One step to the finish?! There won't be anything inappropriate for children later, right? The same exclamation echoed in the hearts of the four people. Although they knew that Wuzi was a shy but brave girl, who would have thought...
"Too, too fast." Negishi Yoshiyuki refused, but unknowingly he got close to Kiriko's cheek and touched it lightly.
"Hey~" The other three people made disgusted sounds.
Negishi Yoshiyuki was so beautiful that he smiled foolishly and said: "Kiriko, then from now on we..."
The words suddenly stopped.
Negishi Yoshiyuki's pupils shrank like needles!
A chill rose from the base of his feet and penetrated directly to his spine, freezing him into ice!
In his sight, the originally cute baby-faced girl suddenly lost her human face and turned into a strange creature with two black eye holes and pure black crescent lips!
