Chapter 448 Narrow Escape

“Warning: Encountered Hidden Monster Abyssal Mimic Giant Catfish!”

“Traits: Extreme Cold Resistance, Heavy Rock Hide, Abyssal Devour.”

“System: Killing this monster will drop all items from every creature it has ever devoured!” (2)

Riley’s retreating footsteps ground to a dead halt.

All items?

She turned her head to look at the Flame Wolf beside her.

She might not be able to fully gauge the monster’s combat power, but judging by C.P’s eager, battle–ready stance, it wasn’t an unwinnable fight.

The cave was spacious enough for the catfish to throw its weight around, but the exit wasn’t that big. If they really couldn’t handle it, they could easily slip out without worrying about being chased down.

“Go get ‘em, C.P.!” Riley ordered.

Receiving the command, the Flame Wolf launched the first strike!

its massive body turned into a red and blue blur of lightning. Instead of creating distance, it charged head–on straight toward that abyssal maw!

The mimic catfish seemed enraged that this magical beast dared to challenge its dominance.

Those thick barbels that had previously masqueraded as lotuses instantly shed their disguise, transforming into deadly, barbed whips. Howling through the air, they lashed toward the Flame Wolf from all directions!

Smack! Smash!

The tentacles whipped against the cavern walls, sending jagged rocks flying.

But the Flame Wolf’s agility far exceeded the monster’s predictions. Twisting its body mid–air in an impossible maneuver, it dodged the two frontal tentacles. Then, it snapped its massive jaws shut, biting down violently on one of the fleshy tentacles swinging its

way!

Sizzle-!

Dual–colored fire instantly injected itself straight into the core of the tentacle through the Flame Wolf’s fangs.

The searing burn caused the catfish monster to unleash a bloodcurdling shriek.

That tentacle, which was thicker than a water barrel, was completely charred and carbonized in just a few seconds!

But the catfish monster wasn’t a pushover. Incredibly, the scorched tentacle immediately regrew from the stump, returning even thicker than before.

Simultaneously, its bloated, massive body began slithering forward.

Faced with so many tentacles at once, C.P. was starting to get overwhelmed.

Riley finally moved.

Skill: Charge activated!

She blurred into an afterimage, instantly cutting into the monster’s left blind spot.

Clang!

The axe in Riley’s right hand chopped viciously into the heavy, grey–brown rock hide on the side of the mimic catfish’s face.

Sparks flew wildly!

This guaranteed strike only managed to carve a shallow gash into the monster’s buter epidermis; it barely did any real damage.

“Tough turtle shell,” Riley’s eyes narrowed.

ROAAAAAR!

Detecting the attack on its flank, the catfish monster flew into a rage.

It violently whipped its massive head, sending another perfectly intact tentacle smashing toward Riley with a foul gust of wind!

Beagle was still hesitating in the back, but Bruce and Ketchup had already drawn their weapons and charged in.

“Watch out, Boss! Shield Wall!”

Bruce braced his half–body–height solid steel tower shield and violently threw himself between Riley and the incoming tentacle, slamming the bottom edge of his shield into the ground and popping his defensive skill.

BOOM!!!

The dull, thunderous impact rang through the cavern.

The terrifying brute force of the blow sent Bruce–shield and all–skidding backward for ten to twelve feet, but he gritted his teeth and tanked the hit!

Boom! Boom!

At the same time, Ketchup executed her spellcasting with flawless coordination from the rear.

Two massive fireballs, the size of washbasins, accurately slammed into the base of the tentacle that had just struck Bruce, detonating in a violent explosion.

Seizing the opening Bruce created by tanking the hit, Riley viciously hurled the axe in her left hand!

The battleaxe spun through the air at blinding speed, screaming through the wind before sinking with terrifying precision straight into the gaping wound Ketchup’s fireballs had blasted open, wedging itself deep into the monster’s muscle.

Wracked with pain, the monster unleashed a frenzied, berserk roar.

The entire cavern began to shake violently, raining gravel from the ceiling.
