Translator: 549690339
Under the murky depths of the deep sea, the Thunderflame Behemoth observed the scene ahead with a cold gaze.
After collapsing the seabed hill, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle buried itself twenty meters deep, with yellow energy shrouding its body, gradually blending in with the surrounding broken rocks.
Soon, a brand-new hill appeared on the seabed, with the power of the earth flowing on its surface, emitting a profound heaviness.
Even the Thunderflame Behemoth felt speechless in the face of such defensive tactics. It never expected that the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle would have such a move up its sleeve.
It seemed that this should be the talent it had acquired when it broke through Level 7 and awakened the Dragon Bloodline.
Under normal conditions, Level 7 high-ranked mutated creatures would possess two types of talents. Still, those who had awakened the Dragon Bloodline or king-level bloodlines would have one additional talent.
And this talent would be formidable.
At this moment, if the Thunder flame Behemoth wanted to continue attacking the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, it would have to destroy hundreds of thousands of tons of rocks above it, and much of the impact force would be dispersed by the seabed.
But did they really think they could be safe by hiding inside?
Whoosh!
Accompanied by the release of scorching breath, the Thunderflame Behemoth’s internal fiery power burst forth explosively. In an instant, the flames on its body surged, and the intense flames emitted temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius.
Immediately, the surrounding sea water began to boil, producing large white bubbles.
Buzz! With the endless scorching energy gathering inside its body, the golden red flames burned on the feather horns on both sides of the Thunderflame Behemoth’s head, creating a faint fire crown above it.
An even more dazzling light emerged from its wide-open mouth.
Boom!
A scorching breath with a diameter of 1 meter and a temperature of 5000 degrees Celsius shot out; wherever it went, the seawater boiled, resembling a fiery pillar wrapped in white steam.
This flame breath was not an ordinary plasma flame, but a highly pure Heavenly Energy-transforming scorching flame, which would not be extinguished even in the depths of the sea.
In addition to that, the breath of the Thunderflame Behemoth contained a powerful impact force, making it instantly explode and vibrate on contact with the small hill, spewing out countless flames.
Under the impact of the scorching flame breath, the rocks melted visibly within a range of more than ten meters. Hot magma was continuously thrown out and then cooled down under the blanket of sea water.
Even the yellow energy contained within the rocks could not withstand the scorching flame breath’s attack, gradually revealing a blazing pathway that went deeper downwards.
Simultaneously, with the endless eruption of scorching energy, the sea area’s waters boiled, the terrifying energy fluctuations driving many mutated creatures away.
More frightening was the invisible ferocious Dragon Might that spread around the Thunderflame Behemoth when it exerted its full strength.
However, the Thunderflame Behemoth had only just advanced and made a breakthrough. After persisting for two minutes, the scorching flame breath in its mouth gradually weakened, eventually extinguishing suddenly.
At the same time, the flames burning on its body suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few small fire sparks dancing, and its aura weakened considerably.
…Its endurance was still lacking.
Looking at the nearly twenty-meter deep and five-meter-wide massive pit that had almost reached the Dragon Turtle and was gradually cooling near its depth, the Thunderflame Behemoth felt somewhat speechless.
In fact, it was not due to its poor endurance, but rather, this breath-attack technique was originally one of the mutated creatures’ most potent moves, possessing massive power but also entailing massive consumption.
If the energy was endless, it would simply breathe everywhere it went upon seeing someone.
Meanwhile, even though the Thunderflame Behemoth’s breath weakened considerably, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle buried underground had no intention of coming out.
That was because it knew that the most potent aspect of this fearsome dragon beast was not its breath but the terrifying power contained within its body. It had almost been killed in a single encounter.
Just as the Thunderflame Behemoth stared at the stable small hill, flexing its sharp double claws, preparing to dig through the hill if the breath attack wouldn’t work, the small hill began to tremble slightly.
Yellow energy spread across, and a crack appeared; following that, the low roar of the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle came from within.
Roar!! I, you, enemies, for, trying to kill me?
Huh, this mutated beast’s intelligence is quite high. The Thunderflame Behemoth paused, its eyes revealing a hint of surprise.
The so-called intelligence was not about intelligence.
One could say that as long as a creature had undergone a mutation and evolved, it would have some intelligence, which would increase with the creature’s level, even surpassing humans in some cases.
However, intelligence did not mean that the other party was smart. Many mutated creatures, regardless of being at Level 8 or 9, were still just beasts just smarter ones.
They still followed the beastly instincts to survive, hunt, and fight.
For example, the deep-sea monster that had attacked Jack Clark’s birthday party had a high IQ and held grudges, only to be eaten by the Sword Armor Flame Beast in the end.
Intelligence referred to cleverness and wisdom. These intelligent creatures understood learning, communication, contemplation, and self-awareness.
For example, the Single-horned Tiger Whale.
As for this Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, it seemed that it had not communicated much with other creatures. Although it knew how to imbue its roars with mental intent, its expressions were fragmented..
