Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent

Chapter 84: Overloaded Shot Securing the Top Spot


"Thud."

It was just a leg that fell onto the table, rolled once, and tumbled to the ground, covered in dust.

"Damn it..."

Mo Qingchen, who had been leisurely moments ago, suddenly cursed.

He saw that on the open points leaderboard, Situ Minghe, originally in third place, began to surge upwards as if by leaps and bounds.

In just a few seconds, he skyrocketed from 370K points to over 550K, like a rocket, and even though the speed slowed down a bit, it kept rising steadily.

As the reigning first-place holder, Mo Qingchen's points stood still at 810K, not having moved for an entire night and morning.

"Damn, what earth-shattering thing did that guy do to increase his points by more than double in just one minute and still keep going?!"

Watching Situ Minghe continuously close the gap between them, Mo Qingchen flipped over and jumped up from the reclining chair.

Without a word, he jumped straight into the cockpit of the Combined Gundam stationed on the rooftop.

"Little idiot, link to the Insect Detector, lock onto the swimming pool where the tadpoles are, charge the [Electromagnetic Energy Cannon]!"

"Happy to serve the master... Linking to the Insect Detector successful..."

"Mecha radar lock onto swimming pool complete..."

"Mecha setup [Electromagnetic Energy Cannon] target lock complete...

"Energy transmission charging initiated..."

Grey Wolf, biting a savory pig's trotter, looked bewildered as the Beastmaster suddenly dashed into the Gundam, utterly at a loss.

Watching the trial dungeon end with only 3 minutes left, how did he suddenly go haywire?

"Boss, what's going on?"

"I don't know..."

"Did he go crazy?"

"I don't know..."

"Then what do you know?"

"Roast wolf meat is delicious..."

Grey Wolf had three black lines on his forehead and glared at Mo Jin with extreme discontent.

"This Wolf King still hasn't tasted roast Bumblebee, wonder what it tastes like."

A sinister voice came from Grey Wolf, accompanied by dead fish eyes, making Mo Jin feel displeased.

Then...

A silver Riding Spear flashed out, carrying an endless chill, stopping at Grey Wolf's throat.

Only 0.5CM away from his throat.

"Boss said, you have the Concept Undying talent, curious if you can regenerate after being roasted; if you can, we won't lack food regardless of how tough a dungeon we go through."

Mo Jin spoke seriously, infuriating Grey Wolf to the point of turning crimson.

When had the Grey Wolf King ever suffered such humiliation?

Feeling the sharpness of the Riding Spear, the Wolf King forced a smile and suppressed his internal fury.

He muttered inwardly, "Darn Bumblebee, wait until we're out of the dungeon, then I'll craft some sheep-catching mechas. You'll see me hammering you to the ground!"

Being a conceptual wolf, he's more of a support type, his own combat power is quite limited.

Fighting this Bumblebee head-on results in a complete mess!

At this moment, Mo Qingchen didn't notice the internal conflict between his companions and focused on controlling the mecha, aiming at a point in the red mist from the high building.

"Charging complete in 15 seconds, remote target lock, should we activate the [Electromagnetic Energy Cannon] immediately?"

"Don't activate, keep overcharging!"

Those tadpoles, after feeding on the mutant toads, each reached Tier Three.

There were more than three thousand of them, and none were below C-level excellent quality, with some even reaching B-level rarity.

Now, the Combined Gundam's energy is insufficient, only 18% remains, just enough for one shot.

If so, let's unleash the [Electromagnetic Energy Cannon] to its maximum power, blast as many as possible with one shot.

"Initiate overload charging mode... Overload charge 110%... Overload charge 150%..."

"Warning! Mecha energy less than 3%, stop overload charging mode?"

"Continue, just leave enough energy to blast!"

Mo Qingchen made the command without hesitation, his eyes fixed on the points leaderboard.

Only 1 minute past, Situ Minghe, who had just blown Seraphel Russell of the Northern Bear Empire's bubble, reached 780K points, closing in on his 810K by only 30K points.

Moreover, this guy's points were rising slower but still steadily.

If Mo Qingchen doesn't act now, in about 1 minute and 30 seconds, he'll be overtaken out of the top spot.

Now, there's just 2 minutes and 10 seconds left before the trial dungeon ends!

"That sly bastard, only acting in the last five minutes, clearly prepared in advance, trying to catch me off guard for an overtaking—Situ Minghe, you're really a cunning dog! I'll remember you, you bastard!"

The thought of almost losing his ten-day top streak made Mo Qingchen furious.

"Overload charge 175%... Warning! Mecha energy at 0.5%, about to shut down, activate the [Electromagnetic Energy Cannon] immediately!"

"Warning! Some mecha functions lack energy, entering shutdown mode..."

"Warning!..."

"Shut up! Fire! Blast that swimming pool for me!"

"Boom" a loud noise sounded, a massive blue beam burst from the cannon.

The enormous blue electromagnetic ball, more than double the size compared to normal charging, disappeared into the red mist in an instant, dragging a blue tail of light behind.

The huge recoil propelled the short-circuiting Combined Gundam back over three meters, crashing onto the ground, causing large cracks in the floor.

The next moment, a huge "boom" explosion echoed for dozens of miles.

The last images recorded by a few Insect Detectors were of a rising grey-black mushroom cloud and an energy shock wave.

[Notice: Beastmaster (Mo Qingchen) killed mutated tadpole (LV39), gained points +156, Guardian Beast (Grey Wolf) gained experience points +6500.]

[Notice: Beastmaster (Mo Qingchen) killed mutated tadpole (LV35), gained points +105, Guardian Beast (Grey Wolf) gained experience points +4500.]

A string of kill notifications appeared in Mo Qingchen's view, his static points suddenly surged 70K+, still sporadically growing but at a very slow rate.

Meanwhile, Situ Minghe's points, originally closing at 30K, instantly widened to over 90K.

This made him, dodging Exotic Beast attacks while checking the points leaderboard, pause his movements.

Getting distracted during combat is taboo; he immediately got caught off guard by a Tier Four Exotic Beast, taking a palm to the chest.

Situ Minghe spewed a mouthful of blood, his body sent flying backwards.

"Damn! Mo Qingchen, that guy, actually had a backup!"
