Chapter 152: Bone-Crushing Giant Hammer

~9 min read 1,635 words

Du E's side abdomen was only a small injury.

But just now, even if she had been just a little slower, it wouldn't have been a small injury; her side abdomen would have been directly pierced by this knife!

Even if she didn't die.

I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to continue guessing the riddles.

Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Although Du E was slightly injured, as long as she understood Wu Xian's meaning, this game could still be played.

The next idiom Du E drew was "missed by a hair's breadth."

Each pattern was larger on the right side, which meant that Wu Xian was about to be attacked on his right arm.

Wu Xian's posture.

Was still in the posture he had when showing the drawing board to Du E, his right arm holding the whiteboard marker slightly protruding.

After he shouted those four characters, he suddenly retracted his right arm. Just where his right arm had been, a small knife stabbed down!

Whoosh!

Wu Xian's clothes were torn by the sharp small knife, but with Du E as a reference, his retraction speed was faster than Du E's, so he only injured his clothes and not his flesh.

Through that glance just now.

Wu Xian confirmed that the thing behind him was the same as the thing behind Du E, so he felt relieved. As long as they looked the same, he could judge the attack range of the malevolent entity behind him based on the appearance of the malevolent entity behind Du E.

If they were different, it would be very troublesome. Even the attack ranges of him and Su Mi were different, let alone different types of demons and evil spirits.

Through this round of Pictionary, both of them understood the routine of the malevolent entity's attack. Next, the malevolent entity would attack four more times, and they only needed to use the same method to dodge.

Seventh and eighth idioms.

The weapon in the malevolent entity's hand changed from a sharp small knife to a rusty large knife covered in blood. This large knife was more powerful, and the attacked part was also more fatal.

But Wu Xian and Du E.

He used the idioms "cleaving Mount Hua with a single strike" and "stretching the neck to await the executioner" to point out the direction of the broadsword's attack: cleaving down from the middle and slashing toward the neck, respectively.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The large knife carried a terrifying sound of wind when swung, and when it landed on the ground, it slashed out a deep knife mark, showing how terrifying the force used by the two malevolent entities to swing these two knives was.

But the two, who had long known the path of the large knife, still dodged these two knives safely.

By the ninth idiom.

Wu Xian originally thought it would be as smooth as before, until he saw the new weapon in the hands of the malevolent entity behind Du E.

The malevolent entities below all became excited.

Some roared loudly, some kept patting their chests, and some seemed to be using human limbs to pat each other to make sounds...

Although Du E didn't see it.

She also guessed from the reaction of the malevolent entities below that this danger was not comparable to before.

Wu Xian saw it most clearly.

He saw that the malevolent entity was carrying a huge iron hammer. The hammer handle alone was as thick as a child's arm, and the hammer face was a square with a side length of 40 centimeters and countless metal protrusions. The hammer body was more than half a meter long and became sharper as it went up.

This kind of terrifying weight was no longer something humans could use.

The tattered-clothed malevolent entity held the large hammer high, his face full of excitement. This time, his target was not a certain body part of Du E, but the entire right side of the light circle!

As long as the large hammer fell.

Everything on the right side of the light circle would be violently smashed by the terrifying force!

Wu Xian swallowed his saliva.

The way of hinting at the attack part before was no longer feasible, and he also had to give Du E a drawing hint template, because if there were no accidents, there was also a malevolent entity behind him, aiming a terrifying hammer at himself.

After thinking for a moment.

Wu Xian drew the following patterns on the board.

'←, ship rudder, →, mountain.'

Among them, except for the '→' character, the other three characters were drawn very large.

Du E was already very familiar with this form of guessing game; after a moment of thought, she saw that the idiom Wu Xian wanted to express was "dodging left and right."

But what did it mean that the third character was smaller...

"Left dodge... dodge to the left."

"Does it mean I need to dodge to the left side? Then the right side of the light circle will be attacked next. What kind of attack range would be so large?"

After thinking carefully, Du E felt that just dodging to the left side was not safe enough.

After she shouted the idiom, she jumped to the left as hard as she could, her body standing at the very edge of the left side of the light circle. The moment her feet landed, another thing also landed on the ground.

Boom!

The huge hammer hit the stage, making a loud noise. The entire stage seemed to vibrate, and the stage surface was directly pierced, with countless small wood splinters and stones flying around.

"Ah..."

Du E cried out in pain, a pain on her side.

Several wood splinters and stones hit her, adding some small wounds to her body, and a large wood splinter hit her face. If it weren't for the mask, she would have been disfigured by now.

But she survived!

Wu Xian's hint saved her life.

Her own judgment saved her from serious injury.

Otherwise, the fragments from the large hammer breaking the floor would have been enough for her.

The tattered-clothed malevolent entity pulled up the large hammer, shook his head in disappointment, and the sound of his footsteps carrying the large hammer gradually disappeared.

Du E felt relaxed in her heart. She had just answered the ninth idiom.

No matter what, she was definitely safe.

But, what about Wu Xian?

She prepared the drawing board, ready to use the same method to hint to Wu Xian, but when she saw the scene beside Wu Xian, she broke into a cold sweat.

He saw that the malevolent entity had actually placed the large hammer horizontally on the ground.

It was going to attack Wu Xian's legs and feet!

Wu Xian had to jump more than 40 centimeters to be safe. But the way of dodging was not the problem; the problem was the timing of the dodge!

If Wu Xian jumped too early, he would land in advance, just in time to be hit by the hammer.

If Wu Xian jumped too late, then he wouldn't have time to jump up, and his legs would be crushed by the hammer.

Du E felt that Wu Xian's situation was extremely dangerous, but she could do nothing but remind him of the attack range, so she wrote on the whiteboard.

'↑, ship, ↓, five of bamboo in mahjong.'

"Jumping up and down... jumping up and down, meaning he wants me to jump up, which means the attack range is the entire area below..."

Wu Xian's hair stood on end.

"This last idiom is indeed more dangerous than all the previous ones combined!"

What Du E thought of, he also immediately thought of.

Then he realized that this timing was impossible to grasp in advance, and his only choice was to jump as high as possible to gamble on luck.

Because he didn't know how high the jump Du E hinted at should be!

If it was 40 centimeters close to the ground, the hammer would rub against the ground, causing the speed to be slightly slower than normal. Jumping too early would land him right in the hammer's attack range.

If the height was 50 centimeters, or even just 41 centimeters, then the hammer would come at normal speed. Not jumping early would result in broken legs.

But, what if the height was one meter?

Wu Xian didn't want to gamble on ethereal luck.

Use 'Lewd Armor' + 'Thick Skin' + 'Bronze Shield' + 'Hard Qi Gong' to resist?

But the power of this hammer was clearly greater than the spiked club of the Toad Spirit Scholar. Even so, stacking armor didn't guarantee survival. Even if he could survive, the price Wu Xian would pay would be too high.

Use 'Small Return Pill' or 'Molting' to repair afterward?

It won't work.

'Small Return Pill' and 'Molting' cannot be used for limb regeneration.

Seeing that the three-minute deadline was about to arrive.

Wu Xian finally thought of a way. He remembered the experience he had when he jumped from more than ten floors to avoid malevolent entities. That experience should be applicable to the current scene!

The down-and-out author is squatting on the side of the road, begging for monthly tickets with a small broken bowl in his hand.

A loser like me also wants to collect a thousand monthly tickets before the end of the month to participate in the monthly ticket lottery like the big shots.

I have never drawn a lottery before; I really want to experience the feeling of a monthly ticket lottery.

Da da da.

Knock on the small basin begging for monthly tickets.
