At this moment, a muffled thunderous roar echoed from the mountain troll's cave. It was like a tiger wearing a mask but still roaring with all its might. This caused the situation to become tense, everyone's heartbeat accelerated by a fold. They all held their breaths as they listened attentively to the distant sound.
Fortunately, that strange roar only resounded once, and no other sound was heard. Everyone could only hear the rustling sound of raindrops landing on leaves. After a while, a contestant who went to investigate returned. This guy's face was ashen white, his entire body was covered in mud. His face was cut by a tree branch, looking extremely flustered and battered. He panted for a while before regaining his breath.
According to the information he brought back, it was confirmed that the mountain troll was indeed at the east side of the road. This contestant's agility was slightly high, but he wasn't a specialized scout. Therefore when he neared, he was discovered by the mountain troll and released a furious roar! This scared the guts out of this guy, he naturally knew the dangers of facing a mountain troll alone. He hurriedly fled back, only after realizing that the mountain troll didn't pursue him did he relax.
After hearing the contestant's report, Qiao Gun frowned. The sudden situation just now showed that the mountain troll's vigilance range was relatively far, yet it wasn't willing to pursue. This meant that the bait, 'Seaman', had to be extremely close to the mountain troll's lair, before he could lure it in! This undoubtedly increased the danger level of the bait.
Of course, Qiao Gun wouldn't be so compassionate and compassionate as he worried for Sheyan's life. In actual fact, from the start, he didn't think that Seaman would survive. He was worried that Sheyan wouldn't be able to lure the troll far enough before dying, completely unable to be of any use. Then, the Symbiosis sect would have to sacrifice their lives! If this led to the failure of the plan and triggered a chain reaction ….. Qiao Gun shuddered, his brows tightly knitted together.
Currently, everything was ready, except for the east wind. Qiao Gun's scheming and shrewdness were profound, but in such an emergency situation, he lacked the ability to adapt. He frowned and hesitated for a moment, but still pretended to be calm as he stood up and ordered Sheyan to proceed according to the plan. Behind his back, he had already begun to calculate who should replace Seaman if he were to die early.
Under such a vile situation, it would be a lie to say that Sheyan wasn't the least bit nervous. However, his mental fortitude had always been excellent. Furthermore, he had calmly analyzed and planned beforehand, and considered various contingency plans. Thus, he didn't say anything and silently walked out. Because everyone in the Symbiosis sect was intimidated by the mountain troll's might, nobody noticed Sheyan's calmness. Only Diaz gazed at Sheyan's departing figure, his eyes revealing a trace of suspicion.
It was still raining. Sheyan walked along the muddy road. His pace was very steady, and every step he took seemed to be printed with a mold. The distance between each step was exactly the same. He also took the opportunity to regulate his breathing, trying to make himself in the best physical and mental state. Although he was very confident in himself, but even a lion would use all its strength to hunt a rabbit, what more against a legendary creature from the magical world of Harry Potter? However, Sheyan recalled his plan from the beginning, and continued to advance calmly.
In this half sealed valley, the only active large creature was the mountain troll. Without a doubt, the path Sheyan was currently walking on was created by the mountain troll's daily hunt for fish. Thus, it was extremely inconvenient. Everywhere, one could see the huge bathtub-like footprints of the mountain troll. Sheyan held onto the long machete he previously used to pave the way, but didn't follow the path created by the mountain troll. Instead, he paused and made some arrangements. His advancing speed was rather slow. When he finally reached the mountain troll's lair, half an hour had already passed.
Before nearing the mountain troll's lair, Sheyan could already smell an indescribable stench. That stench was like the smell of rotting fish exposed to the sun. The mountain troll wasn't a creature that paid attention to hygiene. Furthermore, it lived in this sealed environment and fed on fish for a long time. Of course, it would form such a suffocating stench. Sheyan first took a few deep breaths, allowing his sense of smell to adapt to this stench. He then started to circle around the cave entrance, slowly observing for any movements within the mountain troll's lair.
As for the plan formulated by those fellows from the Symbiosis sect, alright, Sheyan had long forgotten about it.
At this moment, the rain was getting heavier. He believed that those idiots from the Symbiosis sect were impatient from waiting. However, Sheyan didn't mind letting them wait for a while longer. Under the cover of the torrential rain, Sheyan slowly approached the cave entrance. Fortunately, the mountain troll's lair had a faint phosphorescent glow. Thus, he could vaguely make out the huge and brutal monster's silhouette. Fortunately, from all information, the mountain troll was known for its monstrous strength. Its perceptive sense, intelligence and spirit were close to zero. Thus, Sheyan carefully activated his' insight 'ability.
"You used ability 'Insight' on the legendary creature 'Mountain Troll'."
"Evaluation: The distance between you and target is too far. The difference in strength between you and target is too great."
"Failed to steal target's information, utility points deducted."
Sheyan helplessly shrugged his shoulders. This was the first time his' insight 'ability failed. Fortunately, after Qiao Gun's investment, he still had a considerable amount of utility points left. Thus, he wasn't willing to take the risk and continued to activate his' insight 'ability. Finally, after several failures, he succeeded.

Basic close combat lvl 7 Specific attributes:???
Junior tier legendary creature ability: 'Skin of the earth lvl 2' User's HP will increase by 5500 points.
Mountain troll special ability: 'Root disaster'. This enormous monster will uproot the surrounding trees as a weapon, increasing its attack by 135% and attacking range by 100%. Activating this ability requires 5-10 seconds of casting time. When uprooting a tree, the troll will receive 200% damage. Because uprooting a tree is a very exhausting matter, the troll will rest for at least 5 minutes after uprooting a tree before uprooting another tree.
Mountain troll special ability: 'Wood toss'. When the mountain troll is extremely enraged, it will hurl a tree trunk towards a distant enemy to deal AOE damage. Damage value = (Mountain troll's strength – target's strength) multiplied by 2 + fixed damage 20 points.
This attack will carry a knockdown effect. Enemies within 5 metres of the tree trunk will be knocked down for 5 seconds. During the knockdown effect, they will not be able to move, attack or cast spells.
Mountain troll special ability: 'Rot'. The filthy habits of the mountain troll will cause its entire body to be covered in a foul stench. Enemies who deal close combat damage will be affected by the foul stench, their accuracy reduced by 10%.
Mountain troll special ability: 'Primitive home run'. After rotating its body 360 degrees, it will release a terrifying strike, dealing enormous damage to the enemy and has a knockback effect. Before using it, there will be an obvious movement. After using it, the mountain troll will be unable to maintain its balance and will lose its attack power for 5 seconds.
Mountain troll special ability: 'Shattering cardiac roar'. Releasing a furious roar, dealing damage of physique x 1.5 times to enemies within 15 metres. Movement speed will be reduced by 70%. Duration is the mountain troll's physique minus the affected's physique. If the affected's physique is higher than the mountain troll's physique, then he will only receive damage and will not be affected. (For example, if Qiao Gun's physique is 12 points, then he will be affected by the speed reduction effect for 18-12 = 6 seconds.)
Creature special ability:??????
Although Sheyan already knew that a legendary creature like the mountain troll would be extremely powerful, he didn't expect it to be this perverse! 18 points of physique and 9 points of defence, although it wasn't considered high, it could still reduce about 14% of damage. As for the 'Skin of the Earth lvl 2' legendary creature ability, it directly raised its HP to 5680 points. When Sheyan first saw this data, a feeling of despair welled up in his heart.
But when Sheyan carefully browsed through the attributes of this legendary creature, he found its weakness. It only had 8 points of agility, and it didn't possess a movement speed related ability like the basic footwork. This meant that its movement speed was its weakness. Therefore, contestants who specialised in long range attacks could use guerrilla warfare tactics to deal with it.
Of course, if the mountain troll was so easy to deal with, then it wouldn't be worthy of being called a legendary creature. Its throwing ability: 'Wood Toss' and roar: 'Shattering cardiac roar' were obviously used to counter long range contestants' killing moves. The might of the 'Wood Toss' seemed ordinary. Even a contestant with 10 points of strength would only receive 70 points of damage. But, this ability wasn't just an area of effect attack, it also had a terrifying 5 seconds of knockdown effect!
Within 5 seconds, no matter how slow the mountain troll was, it would still be able to reach within 15 metres of the contestant. Following that was the terrifying roar: 'Shattering cardiac roar'. The roar's damage was secondary, but the 70% speed reduction effect was a nightmare.
For long range contestants who invested their attribute points into agility and perceptive sensing, this terrifying speed reduction effect would last for at least 8 seconds. This period of time was enough for the mountain troll to ravage them a hundred times over. Furthermore, it was guaranteed that not even a corpse would be left behind. He believed that this mountain troll had long since gotten sick of eating river fishes and wanted to change to a new flavour. (To be continued.)
