Chapter 539 Burning Cave (1/2)

The seaweed lay close to the black rocks, reaching outwards like countless snakes huffing and puffing. At a glance, the thick black hair seemed to be expanding at an exponential speed.

Hundreds of strands of seaweed wrapped themselves around Goldie's arms; it looked like brown hair that was alive. Goldie tugged hard, the seaweed unexpectedly tough. As Goldie struggled, it continued to tighten.

Because it was attacking with strangulation, Goldie's passive effect wasn't triggered. As time went by, its strength grew greater, and the mutated seaweed gradually tightened and left marks on Goldie's skin.

Goldie made a choking sound and struggled left and right several times, to no avail. As it wiggled its shoulders left and right, the seaweed became tighter and tighter.

It was now in a frustrating situation. It had power but was unable to release it. The seaweed wasn't exactly hard, but it was very resilient. As hard as Goldie tried, it couldn't break free.

Goldie's passive effect couldn't be activated, which meant that it couldn't increase its strength. Goldie saw the surrounding seaweed at its feet move toward Gao Peng. It stomped on it with its right foot. The cluster of weeds under Goldie's feet continued to shake and wind around Goldie's legs. ”Gao Peng, run, quickly. I'll stop the weeds,” Goldie shouted while dashing towards Gao Peng.

Gao Peng couldn't help but frown.

This kind of restrictive monster would be effective in restraining Goldie, because Goldie could only activate its passive effect when injured. A lockdown and restrictive ability like this wouldn't give Goldie the chance to trigger the passive effect, but only force it to sit out the battle. This was also one of Goldie's weaknesses.

”Doesn't a baldie like you usually like to rush ahead?” Flamy's voice was heard behind Gao Peng. Flamy bent over and entered the cave behind him.

It faced the weaving seaweed that was headed towards Gao Peng and spat out a bolt of flames. The flames burned along the ground, and the seaweed howled and wiggled in the flames.

Gao Peng wasn't surprised. Although this mutated seaweed had flame resistance, its resistance level was only Level 3. It might have been able to resist a regular fire, but if the fire was too lethal, it could also be damaged.

The flames pushed the seaweed backward, the entire plant was covered in flames. Since the seaweed had wrapped around Goldie, Goldie was also covered in flames.

Goldie squatted silently, without saying a word. It only stood up with an unhappy look when the seaweed around it was fully burnt to ashes.

Gao Peng knew that it was unhappy because it had looked like a fool in front of Flamy. As the flames continued to spread, Gao Peng seemed to recall something, his face changing.

”Not good. Flamy, quickly control the fire. You don't want it to continue burning inside.”

Flamy opened its mouth and swallowed the bolt of fire, the flames reduced into a line of flames in its mouth. But it was too late. Gao Peng could hear a symphony of bursting bubbles.

Pop, pop, pop— A strange inexplicable ambiance was released from the depths of the cave.

From the simmering light of the fire, one could see the twisted shadow of the rocks in the cave. From the depths of the shadows, huge black shadows woke up...

”Flamy, full attack towards the depths of the cave!” Gao Peng ordered.

Flamy nodded cautiously. There were… quite a lot of monsters inside. Taking a deep breath, the red fluff on the sides of Flamy's cheeks fluttered slightly. The red feathers on its body swayed violently, the heat waves rose, and the air became contorted.

The flames leaped outwards, and a horrible heat filled the caves. Even the water on the ground evaporated into steam.
