Chapter 52: Slaying LV4

  "Do you feel the same way? I thought it was just me seeing things."

  As he said that, Hu Shiming suddenly realized something and couldn't help but exchange a glance with Yan Shao'ou. Then, the two of them turned around and ran away!

  Almost simultaneously, the lion-bodied human-faced statue awoke from its long slumber.

  Human beings who dared to invade the mausoleum immediately attracted its attention. Under the drive of guarding duty, it let out a furious lion's roar. The deafening sound reflected off the empty stone walls of the burial pits and overlapped with the echoes, instantly awakening all the tomb guardian statues. With neat and uniform footsteps, these tomb guardian statues began their frantic pursuit under the leadership of the Shouling beast!

  The two had already run twenty meters away and couldn't help but turn their heads back when they heard the sound. Their faces immediately turned white.

  Ordinary stone statues are okay, they have a certain distance from them and their speed is not fast, it's not easy to catch up. However, this pharaoh's tomb beast has the body of a lion, seemingly clumsy in appearance, but actually having unimaginable agility. Its moving speed is faster than both Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou.

  "Damn it, how did this guy wake up?"

  Seeing this guy relentlessly pursuing him, Yan Shuo couldn't help but curse a sentence.

  In the brief moment, neither of them had thought about what exactly had startled this LV4 monster. The root of the problem actually lay in Xian Shao's subconscious probing. A probe with LV1 authority would have a chance to be detected when used on someone with stronger attributes than oneself. Unfortunately, Xian Shao's probe was detected by the Guardian Beast.

  This is tantamount to an act of aggression, immediately rousing it from its long slumber.

  If Yan Shao knew that he had woken up the guy with his own hands, he would definitely regret it and slap himself twice. But the situation was already like this, and regret was useless. They could only rush forward desperately.

  In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already sprinted out of a hundred meters.

  The fastest Velociraptor, and they're now less than three meters away from them.

  A single LV4 monster is nothing, and even if the two can't win, they can at least drag it out. The key is that there are hundreds of tomb guardian statues behind it, relentlessly pursuing them. Faced with such an astonishing number, the two didn't dare to stop their hands. Disaster doesn't come alone, as the passage narrowed again, the two triggered another new trap.

  Rockfall mechanism!

  Two figures flashed by, and one after another, boulders weighing tons, with the force of a thousand kilograms, fell from the top of the corridor.

  The ground trembled from the giant stone falling, and it was clear how great its impact force was. If either of them had run a step slower, they would have been crushed by the falling stone, not to mention seriously injured. Several times, they felt the shockwave generated by the falling stone hitting their backs, and the situation was extremely dangerous. However, in the end, they managed to narrowly escape the range of the falling stone mechanism, dodging a total of thirty giant stones' impact.

  The thrilling situation at the time is not worth mentioning. However, when looking back with gratitude, seeing those huge rocks blocking most of the path, Hu Siming couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

  This excellent geographical condition seems to be usable!

  Noticing this, he immediately stopped in his tracks and beckoned to Sheng Yu to turn back.

  Escaping is not a solution, and if they blindly trigger some dangerous mechanism, both of them will undoubtedly die. Rather than taking that risk, it's better to deal with the pursuers here. The thirty giant boulders dropped by the falling stone mechanism stretched for over a hundred meters, making the passageway extremely difficult to navigate. Given the size of the tomb guardian statues, it was almost impossible for them to pass through the gap side by side; they could only come one by one in single file. In this way, the pace of the pursuers would undoubtedly slow down greatly.

  This gave the two a perfect opportunity to kill the Guardian Beast of the Mausoleum.

  As they watched the Guardian Beast barely escape from the gap in the giant stone, the two of them made an even more astonishing discovery. The numerous falling rocks that had previously occurred, both of them had luckily dodged, but this lion-headed monster hadn't. Following closely behind the two of them, despite its best efforts to dodge, it was still smashed by a huge boulder. Its original 450 health points were now less than 300!

  If he misses this opportunity, Hu Shiming will not forgive himself.

  He activated his talent for the first time in a formal battle, and scorching flames emerged from his palm, attaching themselves to the iron sword. That ordinary universal ornament suddenly gained dual attribute energy. Then, he let out a loud roar and launched a heroic charge against the Guardian Beast!

  25 points of collision damage, combined with Hu Si Ming's normal attack, caused a total of nearly 50 points of damage.

  Although the opponent's body was too large, Hu Si Ming, who was colliding with him, suffered a bit of a disadvantage, and his whole body seemed to be scattered. However, the innate flame attached to his iron sword also melted the protective armor on the surface of the Guardian Beast. Originally, this LV4 monster had 3 points of basic armor, but after being melted, its basic armor suddenly dropped to only 1 point. The ice power attached to the iron sword also reduced the Guardian Beast's dual speed by 10%!

  The treatment of Ice and Fire Two Heavy Skies will probably make this lion-headed monster "enjoy" very much.

  "Water element!"

  Seeing Hu Si Ming make his move, Yan Shao Ou also decisively summoned a water element, combining it with his charging bullet to start a stable output.

  Provoked by Hu Si Ming's performance, he also showed off his beautiful micro-operation here. While commanding the water element to continuously attack, he controlled it to move in small steps during the attack interval, and under the condition of maximizing output, the water element came to the last giant stone, using its body to seal the remaining tunnel gap.

  Even if a large group of tomb guardian statues come chasing after, they must cut down the water element to rush out.

  The 2-point reduction in armor still had a significant effect. With Xian Shao's and the water element's attacks, plus Hu Si Ming's close-range slashing, they quickly knocked down the Guardian Beast with less than full health to 200 blood. The enraged beast's sharp claws glowed red as it slapped Hu Si Ming three times in quick succession!

  Under the acceleration of skills, its three consecutive shots were extremely fast, and even with the frost slow-down state on, Hu Siming was unable to dodge.

  To know, the attack power of the guardian beast is over 40 points. Three consecutive hits are around 130 points of damage. Hu Siming's blood volume dropped by more than half in an instant.

  This terrifying explosion startled Hu Si Ming and Yan Shao Ou. Almost at the same time, two healing lights came up, raising his blood volume by 80 points again. However, once the healing trump card was used, it meant that the two no longer had extra security and had to end the battle as soon as possible.

  Very clear on this point, Hu Shiming began to intensify his attack.

  He stirred up the innate flame, and with a fierce swing of his sword, he unleashed a series of sword lights according to the basic close combat moves. Just as the fourth sword slash was about to land, the activated innate ability triggered its only skill, and Hu Siming felt a surge of powerful flames suddenly rushing into his hand, which in turn brought his weapon sweeping across a red glow, striking out an astonishing critical hit!

  Super high 56 points of damage!

  Under the effect of 2 points of reduction in Jia, Hu Si Ming's double burst of power succeeded. The blood volume of Shou Ling Shou has dropped by a visible margin again.

  "Is this the extent of your natural ability?"

  Looking at the ordinary newborn's absolutely unattainable exaggerated damage, and the gorgeous flames on his sword, Yan Shao was both envious and shocked. Although he had seen it once before, when truly facing a LV4 monster, Hu Si Ming's blow still scared him.

  If it were me who got hit by this sword, I'm afraid a quarter of my blood would be gone in an instant!

  Similarly starting from scratch, Hu Shiming gained his current strength in just one month, and it was several battles that took place in front of Yan Shao that made him admire.

  At this time, after a new round of mutual struggle, the blood volume of the Shouling Beast was only 100 points left. Hu Siming's state was even more miserable, and he could only withstand one blow from the Shouling Beast. Out of caution, Hu Siming had to change his strategy from hard fighting to mainly using running and entanglement. Seeing that it still wanted to rely on its speed to catch up, Hu Siming flipped his hand and revealed a Whirlpool Card, creating a magical whirlpool under its feet.

  The two-second rule is in effect!

  When he first got the Dark Moon card, its extremely long cooldown period made Hu Shiming somewhat underestimate it. But after the unified exam began, this card had helped him repeatedly, making Hu Shiming increasingly value it. Taking advantage of the two-second window to readjust his position, Hu Shiming successfully withstood three rounds of attacks and waited for the skill cooldown. Just as the Guardian Beast's health was also dropping to rock bottom under Xiang Zuo's continuous attacks, he immediately turned around and launched another Brave Charge.

  Crash Damage + Lucky Trigger's Second Strike!
