Chapter Forty-Four: The Mysterious Purple Membrane

  "Sunzi, let you taste my power!" Fang Kai counted silently, one, two... Before he even reached three, the smoke had completely dispersed. Without any visual obstruction, the Stone Giant instantly locked onto Fang Kai.

  No nonsense, Shi Juren's right hand lifted, and a huge electric beam shot straight at Fang Kai. The latter's expression was serious, and his finger pressing the firing button did not hesitate to press down. A large silver-white shell was instantly fired out, wanting to compete with the electric beam! Fang Kai's expression was firm, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. If even the pulse cannon couldn't block the electric beam, he would be at a disadvantage.

  Fortunately, the energy beam was strong enough to suppress the pulse cannon shell, but not enough to completely defeat it. Fang Kai let out a sigh of relief and secretly called himself lucky, but in the next moment, he was stunned.

  The stone giant seemed to be holding back, but when he saw Fang Kai's weapon could withstand his electric beam attack, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He then poured all his energy into the attack, determined to destroy Fang Kai completely. In this situation, Fang Kai had no choice but to divert the stone giant's attention. This way, even if he himself fell in battle, it was unlikely that the stone giant would discover Ruo Zi and the others.

  A thought flashed through his mind, Fang Kai put away the pulse gun and hastily shifted his position. The electric beam seemed to have a spirit of its own, following Fang Kai's movements. Just as the violent and merciless electric beam was about to crush him, Fang Kai gritted his teeth and threw out the pulse gun, then opened the laser and detonated the pulse gun. With just this brief delay, Fang Kai immediately jumped onto another flat area and lay down.

  No suspense, a deafening explosion sounded behind Fang Kai. Countless stones and debris flew out, and the bottom of the stone wall suddenly appeared with a huge hole, and a series of hideous cracks radiated from it like a spider web. The effect was truly remarkable.

  "Hmm..." Amidst the dust and debris, Fang Kai coughed up a mouthful of blood. He slowly lifted his head to find the ground covered in bloody stone fragments. "Ah." Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his back, and Fang Kai touched his spine with his hand before quickly withdrawing it. At first glance, it didn't seem serious, but upon closer inspection, Fang Kai couldn't help but gasp in shock. His palm was completely covered in blood!

  Although Fang Kai did not die, his body was affected by the explosion because he was not far from the point of impact. His face and back were scratched by flying rocks. His back was particularly severe, with blood and flesh mixed together, a terrible sight to behold. Of course, Fang Kai had no way of knowing this, all he felt was wave after wave of piercing pain coming from his back.

  "It's okay, no internal injuries." Fang Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately composed himself and buried his head in the ground, not moving. It turned out that he had caught a glimpse of the Stone Giant's huge eyeballs looking in his direction. Fang Kai didn't dare to confront it head-on, so he pretended to be dead, using the nearby stone pillars that hadn't been affected as cover.

  At this time, the stone giant looked very strange, his body was motionless, his eyes staring at Fang Ke's place, and he didn't move. For a while, the surroundings became quiet, and Fang Ke could even hear his own breathing clearly.

  "What's going on? Didn't everyone notice me? No, it should have caught the spiral sound emitted by the wooden plane!" Fang Kai suddenly became vigilant, this stone giant's method was too sinister, and the surroundings were so quiet, making Fang Kai worried. As soon as he thought of this, Fang Kai quietly raised his head.

  He didn't dare lift it too high, just letting his eyes slightly raise.

  "Damn it!" Fang Kai suddenly realized that the stone giant's target was not the wooden airplane, but himself. Its eyes were fixed on where he was standing. Fang Kai swallowed hard and didn't dare to look down, afraid of being discovered by the stone giant. He stared blankly at the stone giant, who also looked back at him in a daze, making for an awkward situation.

  It seems that the other party only fixed a rough position, but did not find out where they were specifically. Thinking of this, Fang Kai let out a sigh of relief, but just at this critical moment, a more intense pain drilled out from Fang Kai's back. Suddenly attacked by the pain, Fang Kai couldn't help but hum softly. It was precisely this soft humming that was captured by the Stone Giant.

  As soon as he locked onto a clear target, the Stone Giant immediately revealed its ferocious appearance and quickly released an electric current, striking in the direction of Fang Ke without a doubt!

  The current came too suddenly and too quickly. Fang Kai had just recovered from the pain when he saw a blue electric current, like a flying snake, darting in front of his eyes.

  Too late, everything is too late...

  "Was I supposed to die here?" This was Fang Kai's last thought, and then a blue light flashed, and the stone debris flew up into the sky.

  Are flowers really falling and wilting, and are lamps really going out and dying?

  Let's go back to that critical moment just now.

  Fang Kai's pupils gradually shrank, and at this moment his heart was as cold as water, completely desperate. The small electric current seemed to him like a sharp blade, as if it would tear open his throat.

  Just as the electric current was about to penetrate Fang Kai's brain, a pink light flashed by, deflecting the electric current at an angle. The two beams of light shot onto the ground with deep scars, splashing up waves of gravel.

  It's okay, Fang Kai didn't die!

  "Good brother, I knew you wouldn't die so easily." Fat Dong grinned, driving the wooden plane with one hand and stretching out the other to pull up Fang Kai. Enduring the pain, the latter flipped over and borrowed strength to get into the passenger seat.

  However, when he turned around, he saw that the back seat was empty. Fang Kai's heart "thudded" and his lips trembled as he asked: "Huangzi, where is Ruo Zi? Why can't I see her?" But then Huang Dong hesitated for a moment, stared blankly at the back seat, and his face suddenly changed: "Oh no, she was just here! How could she disappear like that? Oh my god!" Huang Dong's voice became more and more trembling, and Fang Kai lost control in an instant.

  He grabbed the front of Bao Dong's clothes in a fit of rage, his veins bulging: "How could you lose her?! I treated you like a brother, who do you think I am?! If anything happens to Ruo Zi, I'll fight you to the death!" Fang Kai's neck was red and swollen as he bellowed at Bao Dong, his eyes filled with bloodshot, looking ferocious.

  Being shouted at like this, Fat Dong was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time. Facing Fang Kai's rebuke, he didn't have the slightest intention to retort. After all, whether more or less, if Yu Zi suddenly disappeared, he couldn't escape responsibility. As a result, Fat Dong fell silent, while on the other side, Fang Kai's anger was burning fiercely.

  Just as the two were having a falling out, the Golem's attack came mercilessly.

  A few electric beams flew in wildly, and Bao Dong didn't care about anything else. He pushed Fang Kai away, controlling the wooden airplane to dodge the stone giant's sinister attack. Fang Kai was pressed back into the co-pilot seat, just thinking of rolling up his sleeves to teach Bao Dong a lesson, when he suddenly heard a familiar sonic boom.

  Fang Kai turned his head and saw three large, sharp electric beams shooting towards him fiercely. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Fang Kai also regained some calmness. "Hmph, I'll settle with you later." Fang Kai said to himself, taking out a pulse gun to cover the wooden plane. After all, they were comrades-in-arms and now on the same boat, it wasn't the time to turn against each other.

  "Kai zi, quickly counter the opponent's attack." Pang Dong gave orders urgently while adjusting his direction, making Fang Kai very uncomfortable. If it were any other time, it would be fine, but now that Fang Kai was furious, how could he listen to Pang Dong's commands? He let out a heavy hum and coldly said: "Huh, why should I listen to you? Who is the captain now?"

  Upon hearing this, Fat Dong suddenly became anxious: "Hey, now is not the time to quarrel. Kai Zi, can't you calm down? Let me tell you, inside the stone wall there's a purple membrane, and it's very close to the wall. Even if Ruo Zi has disappeared, she must be in there, it's impossible for her to run off somewhere else! Now we have to unite and work together to defeat the Stone Giant and successfully pass through the stone wall!"

  Fat Dong's words were bitter and kind, and when he heard them, Fang Kai was stunned for a moment, his face slightly relaxed. If Fat Dong was telling the truth, then Ruo Zi was indeed not far away, and since she wasn't outside the stone wall, she should be in the gap. "Maybe Ruo Zi has her own plans?" Thinking of this, Fang Kai secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  It's all right as long as nothing happens. Fang Kai comforted himself, but his hands didn't stop, and silver-white cannonballs shot out one after another.

  Seeing this, Fat Dong also let out a sigh of relief and then focused on controlling the wooden airplane. Under the silent cooperation of the two, the wooden airplane dodged the Thunderbolt strikes of the Stone Giant one after another, like a fish swimming in the deep sea, cleverly rushing into that expanded "tunnel".

  The "tunnel" entrance was too small, and the giant stone man couldn't get in. He could only release electric beams, attempting to destroy the wooden airplane, but Fang Kai kept hitting them back one after another.

  "How detestable! I'll tear you all to shreds!" Where else but the Stone Giant, aside from Lefty King, would receive such humiliation? Fang Ke and Pang Dong's agile way of fighting was simply ridiculing it!

  With a stamp of its foot, the giant stone man swung his massive fist at the entrance to the tunnel and punched it. It firmly believed that it was invincible, with an iron-like body, and could certainly penetrate the entire stone wall.

  As expected, the stone wall encountered the giant's powerful punch and was blown up like tofu. What is called destroying the withered and the weak? The iron fist of the stone giant is the best proof!

  As Fang Kai and the others approached the purple membrane, a rumbling sound of gravel suddenly came from behind. The two didn't need to turn around to know that the Stone Giant was about to attack.

  "Quick!" This time, it was Fang Kai's turn to urge Pang Dong. He picked up the pulse cannon and fired shells at the "tunnel" behind him without stopping, but to no avail. The giant's stone fist still came crashing over mercilessly.

  "Get out of here! What kind of material is this made of, it's so solid!" Fang Kai cursed as he resisted with all his might.

  On the other hand, Fat Dong tried to remain calm and slowly pulled open the throttle, the wooden plane "whooshed" forward. Not enough, Fat Dong let the plane gradually tilt downwards, apparently preparing for landing.

  "Just hold on a bit longer, we're almost at the bottom of the crevice." This faint sentence had a huge effect. Fang Kai was like he had been given a stimulant, and he summoned up his remaining strength to continue confronting Shi Quan.

  At this time, the stone wall was about to collapse completely, and the purple membrane gradually appeared. The Stone Giant saw the purple membrane, and its attack speed slowed down a lot. What is the purple membrane after all? The Stone Giant actually had such a reaction when it saw it?
