Lin Huang ran all the way on the ice. There were all sorts of carcasses of sea monsters beneath the ice layer. They had died from crashing into the ice layer.
"Are these sea monsters on drugs? Why are they so crazy?" Lin Huang was puzzled as he watched the sea monsters beneath the ice layer rush to their deaths one after another.
His Divine Telekinesis could clearly sense the sea monsters beneath the ice layer charging towards him as if they had lost their minds. They did not care about the ice layer at all and the death of their companions.
"The monsters on this level must've gone crazy because of the rules of this level," Bloody said through voice transmission in his sleeve. "It's highly possible that when they sense the challengers, the only command left in their heads is to attack the challengers. It's as if they're hypnotized."
"Although they have imperial-level combat strength, the monsters on this level aren't given normal intelligence. They're even dumber than the bugs that we encountered on the 60th checkpoint."
"I suspect that the Stairway Tree system purposely designed this to lower the difficulty of the checkpoint."
"Why do I feel like it's increasing the difficulty of the checkpoint?" Lin Huang could not help but voice his opinion. "They'll go into a berserk mode as soon as they sense the challengers and attack them like crazy. Moreover, their speed and attack strength will increase significantly when they're in a berserk mode. The sea monsters from different tribes have even given up on fighting each other for territory. Instead, they're attacking the challengers as their target. Isn't it more difficult now? "
"On the surface, it does seem more difficult now. However, in reality, the difficulty has been reduced. " Bloody gave a different opinion. "Look at these sea monsters. Their attack mode is rather simple when they're in a berserk mode now. They know that they can't break the ice wall, but they don't know how to go around it. As long as one's ability is sufficient, they'll be able to pass this checkpoint directly. If these sea monsters have normal intelligence, the way they hunt the challengers won't be as simple as it is now. "
"I'll tell you the simplest strategy. They don't have to go through so much effort to kill the challengers. All they have to do is look for a key point that the challengers will definitely pass by and set up an ambush there. Then, they'll wait for the challengers to fall into their trap. "
Lin Huang then realized that he had indeed not thought it through when he heard what Bloody said.
Just as the two of them were talking, a huge black shadow rapidly enlarged on the surface of the sea.
Lin Huang's domain sensed a gigantic figure rapidly rising from the bottom of the sea.
Almost as soon as Lin Huang sensed the abnormality, a shocking wave surged up from the surface of the sea on both sides of the ice layer, instantly rolling up to a height of over ten thousand meters.
The Enchanted Fairy merely shook her sleeves, and the terrifying waves gathered into two gigantic icebergs.
At the bottom of the sea, the gigantic beast opened its bloody mouth the moment it set off the waves. It wanted to swallow Lin Huang and the ice road under his feet, as well as Lin Huang, into its stomach.
But just as he opened his mouth, the huge waves on both sides of the ice road condensed into an incomparably huge iceberg. At this moment, he just happened to bite down.
Lin Huang, who was underneath, heard a few cracking sounds. He then saw blood spurting out of the sea king monster's mouth like a waterfall. A few broken teeth even fell, creating waves on the surface of the sea.
What made Lin Huang not know whether to laugh or to cry was that the sea king monster's mouth was filled with the two icebergs. Its upper and lower jaws were stretched to their limits. Coupled with the fact that the bottom of the two icebergs was much bigger than the top, it could not spit them out even if it wanted to.
At this moment, this huge sea king species seemed to have two huge weights stuffed in its mouth. It was caught in an awkward situation where it couldn't bite, close its mouth, or swallow.
Since the ice road under Lin Huang's feet was connected to the two icebergs, the sea king monster's head was stuck where it was. It could not move at all. It tried to move its body a couple of times, but it was futile.
The sea king monster stared at Lin Huang with its big, green eyes. It was tearing up, but nobody knew if it was because it felt wronged or because it was in pain.
Lin Huang even faintly thought that he saw a human-like expression of embarrassment and distress, but he had no idea if it was an illusion.
After laughing out loud, Lin Huang, who had no sympathy at all, suddenly recalled that he should keep such a rare scene as a souvenir.
He immediately activated the camera function on his Emperor's Heart Ring and took more than ten high-definition uncensored photos of the sea king monster that looked like a crocodile. He even took a couple of selfies with it as the background.
After taking some photos, Lin Huang left the sea king monster where it was and proceeded to the 73rd checkpoint with the Enchanted Fairy.
The main reason why Lin Huang did not kill the sea king monster was that the sea king monster made him laugh for the entire day. It added a bit of color to the originally boring content of the challenge.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to let it go. It was lucky that the Enchanted Fairy did not turn it into an ice sculpture.
After all, such a monster would not die even if it maintained that posture for a year without eating or drinking anything. As for whether it could regain its freedom, it would depend on when the ice under Lin Huang's feet would melt. Meanwhile, it would depend on when the iceberg in his mouth would melt enough for him to spit it out or swallow it again.
After encountering the imperial-level purple gold-rank sea king monster, the monsters that Lin Huang encountered were getting more and more powerful.
It turned out that the closer one was to the 73rd checkpoint, the more powerful the monsters would be.
Almost all the sea monsters that he encountered had combat strength above imperial-level yellow gold-rank when he was halfway through the journey.
Especially when there was only one-tenth of the journey left, almost all the sea monsters that attacked him were on imperial-level purple gold-rank.
However, those sea monsters were not so lucky. They were frozen into ice sculptures by the Enchanted Fairy as soon as they got close to the ice path.
Since he could not fly, it took Lin Huang over two hours to finish the ice path that was equivalent to 10,000 kilometers.
As he took the last step on the ice path and entered the 73rd checkpoint of the Stairway Tree, Lin Huang's body returned to its original size in the blink of an eye.
He stood on a field and turned around to look at the 72nd checkpoint that he had just passed.
All he saw was a white ice line that was approximately the thickness of his finger. There were ice sculptures of all sizes and shapes on both sides of the ice line. They looked like flawless art pieces.
Lin Huang focused his vision and looked through the clouds on the sea. He saw the sea king monster that had its mouth stuck far away. It was still where it was and had completely given up on struggling. It was hanging on the white ice line like a salted fish that was being hung on a clothesline by an auntie to dry.
Lin Huang smiled and turned around to enter the dense forest on the 73rd checkpoint.
