Chapter 248 - 180, Annihilating the Sea King! Secrets in the Heart of the Lake! (Seeking Full Subscription! Seeking Monthly Tickets!)_3

If not for the master’s trip to Moon Exploration Ancient Town during the day, which consumed a large amount of gray mist, they would have come out already.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Teng was chasing into the depths of Heaven-Reaching Lake.

Wang Teng saw the Turtle King’s speed slow down, and he was overjoyed.

But at that moment, he vaguely heard a rumbling sound coming from deep within the lake ahead.

The Black-backed Turtle King was fleeing in that direction.

He pondered inwardly, wondering what on earth was ahead that caused such a commotion.

Immediately, his heart stirred, and he continued the chase.

Soon, he finally reached that place and saw the source of the rumbling sound.

It turned out to be a massive vortex at the lake’s bottom.

Countless lake waters were pouring continuously into the center, making a thundering noise.

More astonishingly, at the vortex’s center, dazzling white light emerged, somewhat familiar.

Wang Teng had a heart thought and thought of the entrance to the Ancient Divine Hall, which had the same white light.

This was a Light Gate!

At that moment, the Black-backed Turtle King fled into the vortex and entered the Light Gate, disappearing.

Wang Teng watched in amazement and hurriedly pursued.

He swung his Divine Inference Weapon, breaking off a corner of the vortex.

"Swish~!"

Wang Teng’s figure flickered and reached beside the Light Gate, attempting to step inside.

But just as he stepped out with his right foot, he was repelled by a force, instantly thrust out of the vortex.

At the same time, a familiar mechanical voice provided a hint.

[Hint: You have discovered the Eye of the Lake of Heaven-Reaching Lake.]

[Hint: There is a Light Barrier blocking the entrance of the Eye of the Lake.]

[Hint: When night falls, the Light Barrier’s effect will disappear.]

[Hint: Unknown dangers are hidden inside the Eye of the Lake, proceed with caution.]

Wang Teng came to a sudden realization.

It turned out that this white light gate was the entry to the Eye of the Lake!

Moreover, there was a Light Barrier upon it!

Yet, why could the Turtle King ignore the barrier and freely enter and exit?

Wang Teng couldn’t quite understand.

However, this Great World was already filled with various mysterious places, so it wasn’t surprising.

That’s right, as soon as the Turtle King saw the unfavorable situation, it immediately fled here.

The mysterious person behind it should be hiding in this Eye of the Lake.

Unfortunately, he could not enter inside.

He could only wait until after sunset to investigate again.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng left in a hurry, heading towards the previous battlefield...

During this chase of the Turtle King, he still gained something.

At least he found the lair of the Turtle King and the mysterious person.

There was hope to complete the second phase of the bounty.

Of course, he could not guarantee its completion with a hundred percent certainty.

After all, he was still unclear about the mysterious person’s actual strength?

But judging from the Turtle King’s strength, the mysterious person’s strength must be extremely strong.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to manipulate the Turtle King’s combat power to reach 35,000 points.

Apart from this, there was also a Sea King species fierce beast by the mysterious person’s side, of unknown strength.

From all signs, however, the mysterious person’s combat power was definitely above 45,000 points, possibly even reaching 50,000 points.

Thinking this made Wang Teng a bit uneasy.

With his current strength, he could effortlessly kill a Fourth Heaven strongman.

If the opponent’s combat power reached 50,000 points, the situation might be reversed.

If they fought to the death, Wang Teng could open all his talents, possibly having a chance to fight.

But once he opened all his talents, he would have no trump card left, and future bounty conditions would likely become increasingly difficult, making it hard to sustain.

"This bounty is really not simple! At this stage, only the second phase, yet it forces me to open all my talents?"

Wang Teng couldn’t help but sigh.

S-Level bounty opportunities are indeed not easy to obtain.

It seems that he needs to improve his strength further before dark to have more confidence in completing the bounty.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng hastened back to the battlefield.

By now, the lake bottom was a deep red, the blood of the Giant-tooth Shark King.

At this moment, the Giant-tooth Shark King’s corpse lay quietly at the lake bottom, surrounded by human remains and scattered Jellyfish Soul Wood.

These were indeed full of rewards!

Wang Teng happily approached the Giant-tooth Shark King’s body.

Beside the corpse lay a Gold-level Blind Box.

Wang Teng’s eyes shifted to the mysterious black horn on the corpse.

This horn was the bounty item—the Sea King’s Horn (Shark).

A Spirit of Geng Metal appeared between Wang Teng’s fingers.

With a flash of gold light!

The Sea King’s Horn was instantly cut down.

Wang Teng picked up the Sea King’s Horn and the Gold-level Blind Box, placing them into his Storage Space.

By the way, with this Gold-level Blind Box, he now had nine Gold-level Blind Boxes and one Platinum-level Blind Box in his possession.

He was another small step closer to synthesizing a Diamond-level Blind Box.

After dealing with this, he began extracting from the Giant-tooth Shark King’s corpse...

[Endless Extraction Successful! You have gained 300 points of Power Attribute Value!]

Haha~!

Not bad!

Immediately following, the white light shone in his palm again...

[Endless Extraction Successful! You have again obtained B-level Talent—Sea of All Rivers!]

[Two Talents are automatically merging...]

[Talent Fusion Successful! Congratulations, your Water Talent has been upgraded to A-level Talent—Descent of the Water Emperor!]

[Hint: With your awakening of Descent of the Water Emperor, your A-level Talent "Five Elements Law" power is also doubled.]

Great!

Another A-level Talent gained!

So now, among his Nine Talent Systems, both the Earth and Water Elements have reached A-level, advancing him another step towards the SSS-level Talent, Master of Chaos.

This made Wang Teng feel immensely pleased.

Soon after, he began clearing the battlefield...

At the same moment, above the lake surface.

Xiao Li and three other Profound Tier Elders listened to the terrifying rumblings continuously coming from the lake bottom, utterly shocked.

Just a few minutes ago, a divine rainbow shot up from the lake bottom, directly blasting open the lake surface and raising massive waves.

Terrified, the four of them flew into the air, ascending over a hundred meters.

Soon, a large amount of blood water surfaced, turning the whole area of water red.

The four were secretly astonished, starting to fill in their imaginations constantly...
