Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 70 Chapter69-Black Venom Croclord, First Encounter with an Elite Boss

"This is the entrance to the Dark Spirit Realm?"

Standing before the portal, members of Blue Sea's team peeked around curiously from behind him.

Some of them, impatient, were eager to charge right in.

But they were all stopped by Blue Sea.

Blue Sea turned his head towards John, who wore a calm expression, "Bro, it's your turn."

John nodded, stepping forward without hesitation.

As his figure disappeared into the portal.

[You have entered the Dark Spirit Realm]

John looked around, finding nothing but desolation!

The environment of the Dark Spirit Realm was akin to a scorched earth.

The desolate land was filled with poisonous marshes and a murky, gray fog of death.

Above, the sky was always gloomy, with no sunlight in sight.

"So this is the Dark Spirit Realm, devoid of any signs of life!"

Blue Sea, who followed closely behind, glanced at the surroundings and frowned immediately.

John replied calmly, "It's a sanctuary for the undead and Wraith, it's normal for the environment to be harsh."

"What's that smell? It's awful!"

"Ugh! I think I'm going to puke!"

"No wonder there are no natives here. This smell alone is unbearable!"

Members of Blue Sea's Guild covered their noses and complained as they entered the Dark Spirit Realm.

The accompanying priests quickly cast group purifying buffs.

Barely managing to dispel the putrid smell in the air.

"Seth..."

Blue Sea waved his hand, and Seth, a towering human warrior, stepped forward.

He took out a treasure map from his pocket.

"Hurry up and cross-reference the map, let's figure out our current location!" Blue Sea commanded in an orderly manner: "The Dark Spirit Realm is a high-level secret realm, full of dangers. We must avoid unnecessary fights!"

"Once the target location is determined, choose the safest path and head straight for it to minimize uncertainty!"

Seth infused fighting spirit into the treasure map, activating it and a blue light lit up on the map.

After determining their direction, the group headed east.

"Exploring such a high-level unknown area now is still too risky."

Blue Sea voiced his concerns along the way.

John merely smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Indeed, for the current players, the Dark Spirit Realm was an extremely dangerous place.

After all, the game "Godslayer" had only been launched for a few months.

Player levels were generally not high.

They were unable to cope with the high-level elite bosses scattered throughout the Dark Spirit Realm.

Even a top-tier power like Blue Sea Guild would risk annihilation if they rashly ventured in!

But for John, there were no bosses in the Dark Spirit Realm that were worth his serious attention.

For him, venturing here was as casual as strolling in his backyard.

In fact, if John hadn't hidden his aura the moment he entered the Dark Spirit Realm, countless Lord-level bosses would probably have come to pay homage by now.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

John's words undoubtedly reassured Blue Sea.

At the same time, Blue Sea couldn't help feeling fortunate.

It was a good thing he had invited John to his team.

Otherwise, if he had rashly led the team in himself, let alone finding the desired item key, it would have been difficult to retreat in one piece.

The group headed east.

At first, they didn't encounter any dangerous elite bosses.

However, the ordinary undead monsters and Wraiths roaming throughout the Dark Spirit Realm were already causing significant trouble for the team.

The undead and Wraiths were incredibly sensitive to the presence of the living.

Despite the mages in the team casting a group invisibility spell, the undead creatures with their keen senses rendered the invisibility practically useless.

As soon as they entered these creatures' field of vision, they charged like sharks that had sensed blood in the water!

Luckily, these small mobs weren't very high-level and didn't have any special skills.

They only knew how to fight instinctively.

So, the Blue Sea Guild team was still able to handle them.

"Damn, these guys really are tough!" Seth swung his hammer hard, shattering the skull of a Wraith minion.

He couldn't help but complain afterward.

Although his scouting showed that the incoming Wraith creatures weren't very high level, their HP was at least twice that of the same-level minions outside!

"The undead and Wraiths are notorious for their high defense and thick HP, so it's normal that they're tough to kill!" Behind Seth, a white-robed priest shook his head with a wry smile.

The faint light on his staff quietly faded away.

After entering the Dark Spirit Realm, these priests, who were originally healers, seemed to be more comfortable in combat.

Their holy power was the natural nemesis of the undead and Wraith creatures!

In contrast, the mages were naturally suppressed here.

The elements in the Dark Spirit Realm were extremely chaotic, not suitable for mages to fight.

Each skill chant required more mana than outside, and the damage was less than half of that outside!

This caused the mages in the team to complain.

"Don't even get me started, we've only just started and I've already used up half my mana, and there's no way to meditate here, I can only rely on potions to recover!" The mages couldn't help but complain.

"Stop chit-chatting about this useless stuff, everywhere here is dangerous, everyone stay alert!" Blue Sea couldn't help but turn around and scold.

His output capability was also limited in the Dark Spirit Realm, but his rare "Sea Mage" profession came in handy!

So, he was much more at ease than the other mages in the team.

"This place isn't suitable for mages to fight, so you've made a bit of a blunder this time," John joked on the side.

" It's pointless to work in isolation. Your team is well-organized, with all classes represented, but you completely overlooked the characteristics of the Dark Spirit Realm."

Blue Sea could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

They continued to move forward until they came to a vast swamp.

[You have entered the Dark Spirit Realm - Dark Venom Swamp]

[Be cautious, some powerful swamp creatures have noticed you. They are the natives here, lurking beneath the swamp mire, specializing in hunting passers-by…]

The system's warning instantly put everyone on alert.

Blue Sea gripped his staff tightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings: "It looks like we've wandered into a rather dangerous place..."

The Dark Venom Swamp was vast, with soft black mud pits everywhere.

There was only a narrow path in the middle, leading straight ahead.

This was their only way to the destination, and there was no way to bypass it!

Walking along the narrow path, big black bubbles occasionally rose from the mud pits on both sides, bursting under the pressure of swamp gas, releasing green toxic fumes.

The whole area was filled with a pungent smell.

Just a whiff of it could make one dizzy!

"Not good, this swamp gas is poisonous. Priests, quickly cast purification spells!" Blue Sea quickly covered his mouth and nose, shouting orders.

The priests in the team raised their staves and began to chant purification spells.

Just then, the mud pits started to change, with bubbles rising one after another, like a boiling pot of water.

The disturbance grew louder and larger.

Then, a massive shadow surged out from the mud pit.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar echoed, splashing mud everywhere.

Everyone quickly dodged in a hurry, knowing full well that getting splashed by this highly toxic mud would end poorly!

Once the mud settled, they finally had a chance to take a good look.

Lying in the swamp mud was a gigantic creature nearly ten meters long!

It was a colossal crocodile covered in green toxic bumps.

It had a sharp horn on its head, the tip glowing faintly.

Its teal eyes were full of brutality!

Above the crocodile's head was displayed:

[Black Venom Croclord (Elite boss)]

[Race: Undead]

[Level: 110]

[Attributes: ...]

"Damn it, it's a level 110 elite boss!" Blue Sea's face turned sour!

The elite boss had locked onto them.

It was too late to run now!

"Prepare for battle! Tanks, move to the front, support classes, add buffs, mages and archers, long-range poke!" Blue Sea's commanding voice had just sounded.

The Black Venom Croclord couldn't restrain its predatory instincts and charged with a roar!

The tanks responsible for defense quickly raised their giant shields, trying to block the first wave of the Croclord 's attack.

But the toxic gas in the air greatly weakened their defenses!

The priests' first wave of purification spells was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the elite boss and entered a cooldown period.

They couldn't detoxify, so they could only fight head-on.

The Black Venom Croclord was about to break through the frontline of tanks, putting the entire team in imminent danger!

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the very front of the team.

With just one hand, he stopped the full-on charge of this massive creature!

A visible shockwave spread out.

The Black Venom Croclord's roar was still deafening, but it couldn't move forward an inch!

"Shut up, or I'll rip you apart!"

John, somewhat annoyed, casually cleaned his ears, speaking nonchalantly.

The hand resting on the Black Venom Croclord's head remained firm as a rock!
