Chapter 455: The Strange Green Grassland
Lin Moyu flew several hundred kilometers in one breath, passing over countless giant rocks and rubble.
He didn’t stop until the terrain changed.
He knew he had entered another BOSS’s territory.
On this land, the regions were clearly demarcated.
For example, the territories of the [Great Leaf Mother Tree] and the [Toxic Python] had very distinct boundaries.
Lin Moyu didn’t know how these BOSSes coexisted or if they fought among themselves.
That had nothing to do with him.
As soon as he noticed the terrain change, he immediately descended.
In the air, he was too conspicuous. If he encountered another flying BOSS, he would likely be targeted.
The ground where he landed was somewhat soft.
It was covered with half-foot-tall green grass, forming a grassland.
The grassland stretched endlessly. Earlier, when he was in the air, Lin Moyu couldn’t see its end.
Compared to the desolate land of snake monsters, this place was full of life.
A gentle breeze blew, slightly bending the grass and making a soft rustling sound.
The grassland was not flat; it had undulating hills.
Often, a small grassy hill connected to another higher grassy hill, like rolling waves.
Walking on the grassland, Lin Moyu always felt something strange.
The ground was soft, the temperature was pleasant, but he could always feel a coldness coming from the soles of his feet.
Curious, Lin Moyu summoned a Skeleton Berserker, intending to dig up the grass to see what was underneath.
What exactly was beneath the grass that made him feel cold?
The grass was unexpectedly tough, and the Skeleton Berserker couldn’t move it at all.
This made it even stranger. If it were ordinary grass, how could it be so tough?
Now, the grassland felt like a single entity to Lin Moyu.
The grass wasn’t growing in soil but on some solid object.
Under Lin Moyu’s command, the Skeleton Berserker swung its axe with all its might.
There was a dull thud.
Lin Moyu felt the ground tremble slightly.
The force of the Skeleton Berserker’s strike was absorbed and dissipated, causing no damage.
"So tough."
With this strike, Lin Moyu confirmed that the grassland was incredibly tough, no less than the land of the snake monsters.
Another breeze blew, slightly bending the grass.
Lin Moyu sensed something was wrong. This time, all the bent grass pointed towards the Skeleton Berserker.
Looking at the tips of the grass, they seemed to glisten with a sharp light.
Whoosh!
A crisp sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out.
Lin Moyu instinctively took a few steps back.
Countless blades of grass shot out like sharp swords, hitting the Skeleton Berserker with a series of crisp sounds.
The Skeleton Berserker was instantly heavily damaged.
Lin Moyu was shocked. If not for the Comprehensive Connection, this Skeleton Berserker would have been destroyed.
In that instant, at least a hundred blades of grass shot out simultaneously.
After one round of attacks, the grass returned to the ground, becoming soft again.
It was as if nothing had happened, extremely strange.
Lin Moyu was surprised.
He thought the Skeleton Berserker’s strike had triggered the grass’s counterattack.
The counterattack was only one wave because the Skeleton Berserker had only struck once.
If it had struck a few more times...
Lin Moyu commanded the Skeleton Berserker to strike the ground again, using less force than before.
He stepped back a few steps, watching from a distance.
Sure enough, another batch of grass shot out, hitting the Skeleton Berserker like sharp swords.
This time, there were fewer blades of grass than before.
After one round of attacks, the grass returned to its original position on the ground.
"Let’s try again."
Lin Moyu had an idea, and the Skeleton Berserker struck again.
This time, the axe glowed red, activating a skill, making the strike several times more powerful than before.
With a loud bang, the ground trembled, and the shock spread far and wide.
In the next second, something shocking happened.
Within a radius of several hundred meters, all the grass pointed towards the Skeleton Berserker.
In an instant, thousands of blades of grass flew out.
They hit the Skeleton Berserker with a series of crackling sounds.
The originally green grassland instantly became bare.
Without thinking, Lin Moyu quickly summoned the undead army and had the Lich General heal the Skeleton Berserker.
Within a radius of several hundred meters, the number of blades of grass was in the tens of thousands. They all hit the Skeleton Berserker simultaneously, causing massive damage.
The damage was shared by all members of the undead army.
All the skeletons were injured simultaneously.
Fortunately, the attack only lasted one wave and then returned to normal.
"One more strike, just one more."
"The stronger the attack, the stronger the counterattack."
"This grassland seems to have a damage reflection attribute."
He thought of a skill in the knight profession: damage reflection.
A knight’s damage reflection skill could reflect the enemy’s attack back at them.
This grassland seemed to have the same effect.
The stronger the Skeleton Berserker’s attack, the greater the reflected damage.
But when he stepped on the grass, even though he bent and flattened it, he didn’t seem to be counterattacked.
This indicated that there was a certain threshold. Only when the threshold was exceeded would the damage reflection mechanism be triggered.
Lin Moyu tried lifting his foot and stomping down lightly.
With his current strength, this stomp used about 50,000 points of strength.
Sure enough, in the next second, Lin Moyu saw hundreds of blades of grass pointing at him, locking onto him.
It was a soul-locking effect, unavoidable.
The blades of grass flew out, hitting him, but were blocked by his Skeletal Armor.
After several experiments, Lin Moyu confirmed his guess.
This land was not only incredibly tough but also had a damage reflection attribute.
Walking on it normally was fine, but using a bit more force would trigger a counterattack.
For example, the Skeleton Berserker walking on it was fine.
But if it ran too fast or used too much force, it would also be counterattacked.
During the experiment, the Skeleton Berserker ran wildly ahead, constantly being attacked by the grass behind it.
The scene was quite amusing.
After understanding this, Lin Moyu decisively used the Lightning Undead Wings, no longer stepping on the grass. He maintained a height of about half a meter above the grass, flying quickly.
Walking step by step was too slow, and running fast would trigger attacks.
It was better to fly low.
The grassland was very quiet. Lin Moyu flew for several kilometers without encountering any monsters. He almost thought there were no monsters on this land.
Until he saw a lake.
A lake on a grassland was not unusual, and Lin Moyu didn’t think much of it.
He even wondered if the monsters were in the lake.
But what happened next completely overturned his expectations.
In the center of the lake, bubbles began to appear, and the water quickly disappeared, vanishing in an instant.
The lake was not large, with a diameter of about thirty meters, more like a pond.
After the water dried up, a giant monster crawled out.
The monster looked like an octopus, with a green body and eight huge tentacles, each over twenty meters long.
The octopus monster quickly crawled on the grassland, its color changing to blend with the green grass, eventually disappearing.
It didn’t become invisible but changed its color to merge with the grassland.
Not only was it hard to see with the naked eye, but even Lin Moyu’s mental power couldn’t distinguish it from the grassland.
Lin Moyu felt a chill.
He wondered if he had already encountered monsters on his way here without realizing it. Without disturbing it, Lin Moyu approached the lake.
There was now a deep pit, thirty meters in diameter and five meters deep.
The grass on the surface had disappeared, revealing what was beneath.
Lin Moyu realized that about a meter below the grass was a thick layer of ice.
The ice was thick and deep.
"It was drinking water."
Lin Moyu realized that the monster had melted the ice and drank the water.
After drinking, it left without making a sound.
A breeze blew, and Lin Moyu felt a chill.
A vibrant grassland with damage reflection properties and incredible toughness.
Beneath it was a thick layer of ice.
"Could this have been an ocean before?"
"Now it’s frozen, and grass has grown on top."
Lin Moyu thought this was the only explanation for what he saw. Otherwise, how could an octopus, a sea creature, appear here?
It didn’t make sense.
As he pondered, an explosion suddenly sounded in the distance.
The explosion was powerful, sending shockwaves in all directions.
The grassland trembled, and thousands of blades of grass shot towards the explosion.
Lin Moyu witnessed another astonishing scene.
