Chapter 48 Successful Kill
"Don't act impulsively."
Zhao Hai advised.
"Don't worry, I remember everything you just said. I'll be careful, and if something goes wrong, I'll back off immediately."
Zhao Hai wanted to say something more, but Yu Ying waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say anything more.
"It took us about eight minutes to get into this strange, fused area, and then we fought with the four-legged toads on this high ground...it's been about half an hour, hasn't it?"
"In the case of the four-legged toad, I'd be optimistic that it would be exhausted in about 3 minutes and at my mercy."
"3 minutes versus 40 minutes, that doesn't seem like much."
"But in this strange fusion zone, you know better than I what 3 minutes means."
I want to give it a try.
After Yu finished speaking, he patted Zhao Hai on the shoulder.
"I will be careful."
Yu Ying turned around and approached the four-legged toad imprisoned by earth spikes, his steps becoming faster and faster.
He stopped and leaped up only when he was right in front of the four-legged toad's enormous, mountain-like body.
In mid-air, Yu Ying's body was stretched out to the extreme, his right fist poised behind his chest.
It accentuated his broad and muscular chest.
The metal knuckle dusters on his hands gleamed, like the gleam in a tiger's eyes as it hunts, its eyes fixed on its prey, ready to strike at any moment.
【Mysterious Relic: Tiger's Finger】
[Effect: Increases the user's punching power, with a chance to gain the "Inner Force Shatters Bones" effect, and the attack will carry a wisp of "Mountain Lord's Intimidation" aura.]
[Internal Strength Bone Shattering: Makes it easier to channel force into the opponent's body, damaging internal organs and bones.]
[Summary: Taking a deep breath; dizziness is normal.]
Aiming precisely at the location of the four-legged toad's heart, Yu Ying held nothing back.
The brass knuckles, imbued with all of Yu Ying's strength, sliced through the air with a piercing whistle, causing Zhao Hai, who was watching from afar, to turn his head involuntarily.
"Die!"
boom!
The toad's chest suddenly caved in, as if it had been hit not by a fist, but by a cannonball!
Even the earth spikes beside it, which were used to restrain its movements, were mostly shattered by Yu Ying's fierce smash!
[Internal Strength Shattering Bones] triggered!
The mud shards shattered and flew everywhere.
quack!
The four-legged toad suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick green blood.
The screams uttered in pain were no longer as loud as before, as if someone had hit his throat.
It must be said that Yu Ying's punch did indeed cause considerable damage to the four-legged toad.
Even after most of the soil spikes had dissipated and the toad had escaped its predicament, it did not immediately raise its fleshy tongue to attack.
Instead, he bent down slightly and remained motionless, seemingly trying to ease the pain in his chest and the heart that had stopped beating several times before finally starting to beat again.
Yu Ying naturally didn't let such a good opportunity pass him by. He gripped the tiger's hand and lunged forward again.
However, since the four-legged toad was crouching down, he couldn't hit its chest.
Yu Ying then smashed it on the head.
Like most bizarre creatures.
The four-legged toad's biggest weakness is its heart.
Next came the head.
Since we can't hit its heart, let's attack its head!
The [Strange Relic: Tiger Finger] in my possession can be somewhat effective against the hard skull of the four-legged toad.
clang!
It felt like hitting a hard boulder.
Yu Ying's arm, which was wearing brass knuckles, was numb all over.
As the numbness subsided, a pain comparable to a bone fracture spread from his palm up his arm to his brain.
He moved his right hand slightly to assess the severity of his injury.
"It won't be usable for a while."
The conclusion is that Yu Ying did not stop moving.
He silently switched the brass knuckles from his right hand to his left, and then continued to approach the four-legged toad.
The four-legged toad, struck by Yu Ying, staggered a few times, shaking its head.
But compared to the damage caused when Yu Ying struck its heart before.
Clearly, Yu Ying's punch this time did not trigger the [Internal Force Shattering Bones] effect, which is still within an acceptable range for the four-legged toad.
The four-legged toad had recovered from its chest injury and emerged from its bent-over rest.
It seemed to have sensed Yu Ying's approximate location.
It shook its head, and its fleshy tongue swept across the selected area in a fan shape from left to right.
This perfectly seized the opportunity when Yu Ying leaped up and had nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air.
Yu Ying realized that he couldn't dodge this time.
His body shimmered with a luminous glow.
He had clearly used his extraordinary abilities, intending to withstand the blow head-on.
Snapped.
Small chunks of mud flew everywhere, many of them hitting his face.
"Um?"
Looking at the thorns blocking his side, Yu Ying couldn't help but wonder, then looked at the old man with a cane a little further away.
But then the old man with the cane struck the ground several more times, and the four-legged toad was once again imprisoned by the earth spikes.
Moreover, the confined position exposed its soft chest area.
quack!
The four-legged toad seemed to sense the threat of death, frantically twisting its body and croaking.
"..."
Yu Ying silently nodded to the old man with the cane, then stepped forward and attacked with both hands.
The fists rained down, landing precisely on the four-legged toad's chest.
The continuous smashing triggered the [Internal Force Bone Shattering] effect of the [Strange Relic: Tiger Finger] a few times.
quack...
The four-legged toad coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and upon closer inspection, one could see many fragments of its internal organs.
The dying four-legged toad croaked weakly.
Before him, Yu Ying, covered in blood, raised his fist high, about to smash it down.
A thorn suddenly rose from the ground and precisely pierced the eye socket of the four-legged toad, which already had no eyeballs.
The soil spikes pierced through the eye sockets without hindrance, stirring up the four-legged toad's brain.
quack...
After its final croak, the four-legged toad breathed its last.
Yu Ying looked at the dead four-legged toad and slowly lowered his hand.
Just as he turned around, wanting to thank the old man with the cane who had helped him get rid of the four-legged toad,
But they found that the old man with the cane was nowhere to be seen.
Yu Ying asked in confusion.
"Old Zhao, did you see how that mysterious old man who helped us disappeared?"
After Yu Ying reminded him, Zhao Hai realized that the old man had disappeared sometime earlier.
"I didn't pay attention, but he has quite high moral character. He's the kind of person who gets away with things after a little trouble."
"It must have been wild day-returners, or day-returners from a civilian organization, who came to help."
Yu Ying took off his brass knuckles and plopped down on the ground.
"Is that so?"
……
Qingshan Temple, main hall.
Watching the four-legged toad in the picture fall down and die completely.
Chi Le reclaimed the [Mountain Gate].
"It just so happens that the time for the decree from the local earth god of Changxi Village has arrived."
"As expected of a second-tier demon, its physical strength is monstrous."
"The land of Changxi Village faces earth spikes that are invincible to first-level demons who have not yet reached the next level, and even the defenses of the four-legged toad are difficult to break through."
"Fortunately, the Special Affairs Bureau people smashed open its eyeballs first. Without this eye socket wound, I really don't know how we would have managed to take down this boss."
Seeing the kill notification pop up in front of him, Chi Le couldn't help but smile slightly.
