Chapter 1819: Suffocating Life to Death

Gong Sun Huohuo was just about to move forward when Luo Fu pulled him back.

"Be careful, there's a beast ahead."

Upon hearing this, Gong Sun Huohuo immediately grew alert—he had heard in the sect that some beasts mimic human voices to lure people closer, then swarm and kill them.

She scanned the surroundings and indeed spotted a beast over three meters tall.

"Master, this is the Great Rock Demon!"

"Mm."

Luo Fu nodded—he truly had trouble now that he'd encountered the Great Rock Demon.

His golden pupils scanned and revealed information: Great Rock Demons usually travel in groups, always disguising themselves as hills or rocks to avoid detection.

Moreover, these beasts possess immense strength and live in colonies; upon detecting any anomaly, they charge without warning, crushing all life beneath them.

They don't stop until their victims have no breath left—that is the Great Rock Demon's most defining trait.

Luo Fu frowned deeply, but intermittent cries for help continued to emerge from the cave.

This led Luo Fu to suspect that some unlucky soul had been crushed inside the cave by the Great Rock Demons.

"Master, someone really is calling for help!" Gong Sun Huohuo's sharp eyes instantly spotted a person pinned down nearby.

Luo Fu saw them too, but they couldn't advance recklessly—if they moved forward, they might become targets of the entire group of Great Rock Demons.

"Huohuo, I'll draw their attention—you go rescue those two."

"Two?"

"Yes, two. Don't forget."

Luo Fu feared that if Gong Sun Huohuo assumed only one person was trapped, he'd save one and leave the other still buried, forcing them to risk everything again.

Gong Sun Huohuo stuck out his tongue and grinned mischievously: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I really thought there was only one person inside."

"Enough chatter. I'll go distract them—you sneak in from behind and pull them both out."

"Take this."

After scanning with his golden pupils, Luo Fu discovered the Great Rock Demon's most vulnerable spot was its belly—striking the belly would force it to vomit up whatever it had crushed.

Indeed, the Great Rock Demon crushes all living beings beneath its belly, yet lacks digestion—it merely suffocates them alive.

The benefit of this is that the Great Rock Demon absorbs the life force of the crushed beings, growing stronger.

Gong Sun Huohuo nodded and took the branch from Luo Fu, infused with spiritual energy.

"Just thrust the branch hard into the spot where the cries are coming from—it'll leave the Great Rock Demon weak for three seconds. Then pull them out."

Gong Sun Huohuo had never known the Great Rock Demon actually had a weakness.

"Master, do all beasts and demonic beasts have weaknesses?" Gong Sun Huohuo's eyes shone unusually bright.

"Yes."

"All beings have weaknesses—demonic beasts, beasts, even spiritual beasts. Find their weakness, and one strike will finish them!"

"Got it."

Gong Sun Huohuo had never before exploited a beast's weakness—he was going to try it now.

And he must succeed—no room for failure!
