Chapter 47: After parting for two days, one should look at each other with new eyes!
Da Xiong Mao's running speed was already not weak; after also consuming 【Beast Power·Gust】, its speed increased significantly again.
It took less than three hours to carry Su Hao to the front of the Ancient Castle Ruins.
"Roar!"
After Su Hao climbed down from Da Xiong Mao's back, Da Xiong Mao suddenly stood upright, revealing a fierce look, pointed at the nearby Ancient Castle, and then forcefully patted its own chest.
This meaning is clear; it is obviously saying, "Thigh, I'll take care of the guys in here—let me get revenge for you!"
Su Hao naturally understood Da Xiong Mao's meaning, but how could he let Da Xiong Mao go in alone?
Since we came back to settle the score, there's no reason for us not to go in.
Moreover, the Double-headed Stitching Monster's Death Finger is terrifyingly powerful; although Da Xiong Mao is thick-skinned, Su Hao cannot be sure it can withstand the Death Finger's attack.
Da Xiong Mao is not a blood-flesh controller; if its fur cannot block the black light beam from the Death Finger and its heart is pierced, it would surely die.
Therefore, the safest plan is for Su Hao himself to draw the Double-headed Stitching Monster's attack, letting Da Xiong Mao first clear out the other Stitching Monsters.
"Let's go in together!"
Su Hao patted Da Xiong Mao's shoulder and then entered the Ancient Castle without hesitation.
"Roar."
Seeing Su Hao's firm attitude, Da Xiong Mao did not insist, let out a low growl, and followed Su Hao inside, though its expression remained unchanged, still ferocious.
Dare to hurt my thigh—just watch me not kill you all!!
……
After entering the Ancient Castle's gate, Su Hao again came to the familiar passage, but this time there were no poison-arrow traps.
After all, Su Hao had picked up all the Lethally Poisoned Arrows in the passage; even if the trap could reset, there were no arrows left.
Likewise, the passage on the Second Floor also had no poison-arrow or boulder traps.
Moreover, in the Second Floor passage, Su Hao saw two charred corpses of Stitching Monsters.
"Tsk tsk tsk! The Flame Fireball's power is pretty strong—one shot instantly killed two Stitching Monsters."
Although Su Hao didn't personally see the two Stitching Monsters die, he could tell at a glance that they had been killed by the Flame Fireball.
This power far exceeded Su Hao's expectations; even if the Flame Fireball isn't of Second Rank, it is still much stronger than many First Rank skills.
Su Hao lightly rubbed the Flame Ring twice with his finger, then brought Da Xiong Mao forward, proceeding unimpeded to the Hall on the Second Floor.
"Roar!"
Just as they entered, over a dozen Stitching Monsters loitering in the Hall spotted the two of them, let out a roar, and charged forward wielding Wolf Tooth Clubs.
"Gurulu gurulu qi, these Stitching Monsters are yours to handle!"
Su Hao gave a quiet command to the Da Xiong Mao behind him, then turned his gaze to the Double-headed Stitching Monster at the Third Floor stairway entrance.
"Roar!"
Da Xiong Mao followed Su Hao's glance, looked at the Double-headed Stitching Monster, let out a roar, and lunged forward.
Under its terrifying strength, all the Stitching Monsters charging forward were swatted away, giving Su Hao a clear path to the Third Floor stairway.
"Go!"
Su Hao fired Arcane Missiles while striding toward the stairway.
Arcane Missile, a basic attack, naturally couldn't harm the Double-headed Stitching Monster; he sidestepped back a step to dodge the first Arcane Missile, then lightly waved his right-hand staff to deflect the second.
Meanwhile, Su Hao had already disappeared from its view and entered the stairway.
Seeing this, the Double-headed Stitching Monster's two heads glanced at each other, then quickly retreated backward into the Hall on the Third Floor.
At the same time, it lightly raised its staff, one head's mouth muttering incantations, preparing magic in advance as Su Hao climbed the stairs.
When Su Hao emerged from the stairway, its magic happened to be fully ready.
"Die!"
From the Double-headed Stitching Monster's mouth came a hoarse sound; it lightly waved its staff forward, and a white magic circle appeared before it.
Immediately after.
A pale bony hand extended from the magic circle, pointing its index finger at Su Hao and firing a black light beam at him.
But this time, Su Hao was already prepared, and after consuming a drop of Crimson Blood, his physique and spiritual power were greatly enhanced.
With increased spiritual power, he could use skills more often, and magical-type skills became stronger.
With increased physique, his fleshly defense, strength, agility, reaction speed, and so on were all improved.
Last time, he had only just seen this black light beam, didn't have time to react, and his heart was pierced.
This time, in his eyes, the black light beam's flight speed had obviously slowed down considerably.
Su Hao stepped back with his left foot, his body moving with the step and slightly turning left, thus dodging the direct attack of the black light beam.
It grazed the skeleton bone armor and flew backward, blasting through the opposite wall.
"Im…pos…sible!"
Seeing Su Hao's reaction, the Double-headed Stitching Monster instantly widened its four eyes, the two heads glanced at each other, and both saw deep shock in the other's gaze.
Just the day before, his Death Finger—Su Hao hadn't even reacted before his heart was pierced.
But today?
In just two short days, Su Hao went from being unable to react and having his heart pierced, to handling things with ease, calmly stepping back to dodge the black light beam emitted by the Death Finger.
Such a huge change in merely two days would astonish anyone.
Fortunately, the Double-headed Stitching Monster had rich combat experience in life, and with two heads, it quickly adjusted its mindset.
While stepping back with its feet, its right-hand staff glowed white again, beginning to prepare a new spell.
Since one Death Finger can't decide the battle, I'll fire several more—I don't believe you can dodge them all!
However, Su Hao does not have a habit of just taking hits.
Right after Su Hao dodged the black light beam, he casually flicked his wrist and instantly launched four Arcane Missiles.
Four arcane missiles shot out toward different parts of the double-headed Stitching Monster, forcing him to divide his attention to block the attacks, slightly disrupting his casting time.
Then, Su Hao's left hand made a 'pa-da' sound as he lightly snapped his fingers.
"Blood Whip Technique!"
The next moment.
He saw two whips made of crimson blood, taking advantage of the double-headed Stitching Monster blocking the arcane missiles, extend from the ground beside his feet, tightly wrapping around his wrists and restraining his movement.
But this was only just the beginning.
The double-headed Stitching Monster likely possessed Supernatural Grade Second Stage strength; trying to kill it with arcane missiles and Blood Whip Technique was simply unrealistic.
Su Hao's true trump card was the Supernatural Grade Second Stage Gravity Rock Axe, bearing a terrifying weight!
