Chapter 79: Max-Level Role-Playing Method! The Void Combination Skill
Everyone was stunned!
Why would a hamster be riding a motorcycle through the Wilderness in the middle of the night?
And in such a comical, dramatic fashion, it had slain a High-tier Elite Stitched Demon?
It was as absurd as a nonsensical plot from a comic book, But it was a fact unfolding right before their eyes!
This scene, far from making the Stitched Demons laugh, instead filled them with an inexplicable fear.
Xiao Bing, lying on the ground on the verge of death, was momentarily stunned by this scene, then he coughed and laughed loudly:
“Good… A good kill!”
Before he could finish, the furious Elephant Foot Stitched Demon stomped on his arm, crushing it.
He let out a painful howl, but it quickly turned back into a low chuckle.
It seemed to be mocking the so-called Stitched Demons for actually feeling fear!The Crab Claw Stitched Demon snapped back to reality, its multiple eyes squirming as it stared intently at the Hamster on the motorcycle, and said in a deep voice:
“Who are you?”
“Are you worthy of knowing?” The single sentence made the Crab Claw Stitched Demon's face darken.
“But Little Mouse is in a good mood today, so I’ll graciously tell you…”
Little Mouse stood on the black and red motorcycle, wearing a Cloud-Connecting Armor, Lion-Fierce Belt, Hundred-Flower Battle Robe made of white spider silk. Atop its head was a Shadow Silver Crown with Pheasant Tail.
It was like an unrivaled God of War who had mounted his treasured steed, lacking only his signature weapon.
It glanced around, feeling that they were all nothing but a bunch of nobodies waiting to be executed.
This first kill had given it a strong sense of psychological confidence, in short, it had gotten cocky!
Little Mouse placed its paws on its hips and said smugly:
“I am the Descendant of the Desert Crawler, the Burrower, the Potato Chip Guardian, the Sofa Crawler, The Non-Dark One, the Ancient Altar Thief, the Lord of the Wasteland City's Edge, the Cultivator's Favorite First… Second General, Big Sister's Most Handy Soul Sword, Little Mouse Born of Shadow!”
This was something Little Mouse had seen on TV. The Fish-Head Human-Body Female Lead would recite a long list of titles every time she appeared, like Princess of the Sea, the Star-Blessed One, and finally, calling herself Kesi Born of the Sea.
It had a lot of style.
So it decisively turned it into its own entrance slogan, even secretly adding a lot of self-praise.
For example, "Burrower" was actually just a digger, "Descendant of the Desert Crawler" was its ancestor, the desert hamster, and so on…
Especially the so-called "Lord of the Wasteland City's Edge," which was actually missing seven characters. The complete version should be "Sustainable Rations of the Lord of the Wasteland City's Edge."
But in Little Mouse's eyes, none of this was important.
The meaning should be… more or less the same!
“What a load of nonsense names. It’s crazy.
It looks like a stupid rat that stole a human’s transportation vehicle. Stop wasting time and mince it into paste!” the Elephant Foot Stitched Demon said coldly, having completely lost its patience.
“Rat???” Little Mouse’s fur stood on end upon hearing this. It pointed a small paw at itself and protested angrily: “You bunch of freaks, are all those eyes you grew just for decoration? Look clearly, I'm a Hamster, do you understand Hamster!?”
Rats were dirty and smelly, carrying lots of germs.
How could they be compared to it, a Little Mouse who loved to bathe every day, was clean, and had beautiful, neat fur!
If Sister Spider weren't here, it would have made it draw this divine sword of mine and chop you bunch of rejects to pieces in minutes, kaka slaughtering you all.
I’d be in charge of the kaka!
As it was fuming, it suddenly noticed the motorcycle starting to tremble and slowly lift, nearly causing Little Mouse to slide to the back.
“What’s happening?”
Little Mouse steadied itself with Shadow Power and looked down to see that the Mantis Stitched Demon under the vehicle wasn't dead. Its skull had been sliced open, and numerous blood vessels had spread out, wrapping around its throbbing brain to protect it.
To think this guy was so lucky, to have survived a fatal blow like that!
“The good die young, but scourges live for a thousand years!”
Xiao Bing's laughter stopped abruptly. He hated how incredibly resilient these Stitched Demons were.
Screech, screech, screech!
The Mantis Stitched Demon supported itself with the scythe on its left arm, slowly lifting the heavy motorcycle. Its original giant eye was a bloody mess and unusable.
But this didn't stop it. A bloody fissure opened on its left cheek, and from it, a somewhat cloudy and dim human eyeball was squeezed out—its own eye.
It had originally thought that everything human was too inferior, yet now it had to rely on this to regain its sight.
Thinking of this, the Mantis Stitched Demon stared venomously at Little Mouse and said in a hoarse voice:
“You despicable rat, you actually destroyed the Giant Snake Eye that I worked so hard to beg for from the boss, and then you used this lowly human industrial trash to trample my body.
Today, I will tear you to shreds!”
As it spoke, the scythe on its right arm swung, cutting through the air with a whoosh as it slashed towards Little Mouse!
“Hah, I’ve said it several times, I'm a Hamster. Forget it.
A mere Stitched Demon. If Little Mouse can kill you once, it can naturally kill you a second time!”
Yet, facing danger, Little Mouse stood with its paws behind its back, its expression calm.
It looked at the blade closing in, feeling the sharp edge that slightly pricked its face, and used its secret weapon, shouting:
“Big Sister, save me!”
The shift in tone was so sudden it caught everyone off guard!
“No one will save you even if you scream your throat out. And even if there is someone, I can send her on her way with you.
I’ll use your flesh and blood to complete my imperfections!”
The Mantis Stitched Demon grinned menacingly, preparing to chop it into mouse paste. But in the next moment, its vision was completely covered by pure white.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Countless spider silks descended from the sky like arrows fired by master archers. With unstoppable force, before the Mantis Stitched Demon could react, they instantly pierced its body, sending it flying backward and pinning it to a tree trunk.
This time, even its brain was pierced and churned into mush. It was thoroughly dead!
After all, Stitched Demons were merely skilled at grafting the flesh of other creatures to mend their own missing limbs.
Their life force was slightly stronger, but they weren't immortal cockroaches!
“Mantis!?”
The three Stitched Demons who had been watching the show were also shocked, not expecting someone to be hiding in the dark and launching a sneak attack without any martial virtue.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Before they could react, the spider silks swept over again, surging like a giant wave.
However, they were already on alert and quickly dodged. A few small trees where they had been standing were sliced in half at the waist, crashing down and kicking up a cloud of dust.
“Such terrifying spider silk…” the Crab Claw Stitched Demon reminded with lingering fear, “Gorilla, quickly use the Mist Ritual and find that person hiding in the dark!”
As soon as it finished speaking, the surrounding mist began to thin at a visible rate, rapidly dissipating.
The two Stitched Demons were dumbfounded.
It told you to find someone, not to disperse the mist. Weren't you giving up your advantage?
Wouldn’t it be better to trap them with the mist?
“It wasn’t me, I haven’t even used it yet…” The Elephant Foot Stitched Demon almost thought it had made a mistake, but it quickly realized and said in alarm, “Oh no, someone is destroying the Sacrificial Instrument that sustains the Mist Ritual…”
“Sacrificial Instrument? Are you talking about this?”
As a man's voice sounded, something fell from the sky and landed at the feet of the Stitched Demons, scaring them into scattering like birds.
As they fled, they quickly searched for the source of the voice.
“On the tree to the west!” The Crab Claw Stitched Demon had more eyes and a wider field of vision, quickly spotting the other party's location.
The other Stitched Demons looked in that direction and saw a figure on the tree that gradually became clearer as the mist faded.
Dressed in black, Lu Yu stood on a branch.
A Mist Raven stood on his outstretched right arm, looking down at the three demonic beasts on the ground with its purple eyes. Its gaze was indifferent, as if looking at a group of dead things.
Meanwhile, while the Stitched Demons were dazed, Little Mouse decisively took the motorcycle with it and submerged into the shadows, arriving at the base of the tree where Lu Yu was.
Its previous arrogance and pride were gone.
It waved its small paws, complaining aggrievedly, “Wuwuwu, Cultivator, you’re finally here! If you were any later, Little Mouse would have been bullied terribly by them!”
“…”
‘Weren't you the one bullying them? That Mantis Stitched Demon had its brain literally opened up…'
The corner of Lu Yu's mouth twitched slightly. He could see that Little Mouse was twisting the truth, but he didn't expose it.
Originally, it was just because his scout, the Mist Raven, had noticed something off about the high concentration of mist. Upon investigating further, it discovered the Flesh Wing Demon Thief Group attacking a Beast Tamer.
Unfortunately, he had arrived too late; the slaughter was nearly over, and the Mantis Stitched Demon was already dragging away the last survivor.
But whether he wanted to save the person or head to the Desert Ant Mound Mystic Realm, this was the only way through.
Taking a detour would cost several more hours.
Therefore, this group of Stitched Demons had to be dealt with.
Information from the Eye of Truth indicated that half the forest was enveloped in mist created by a sacrificial instrument.
A sacrificial instrument was something created through a special sacrificial ritual, requiring the flesh and blood of living beings as a price to create special abilities.
The sacrificial instrument before him had a power equivalent to a low-level Secret Treasure, comparable to the spirituality of a Peak Silver Rank Beast Tamer. If he rushed in rashly, even if Lu Yu wasn't afraid of illusions, he could easily be trapped by the thick mist cage, and this group of Stitched Demons might escape.
So Lu Yu had sent Little Mouse to draw some fire while he went to find the Mist Ritual that enveloped the forest, and also to check if any other members of the Wings of Flesh and Blood were hiding within.
But he never expected…
Little Mouse had performed beyond expectations, actually managing to severely injure a High-tier Elite Stitched Demon, causing it to lose its Reason, and then be easily pinned and killed by Little Spider!
Lu Yu looked at Little Mouse wearing the special armor made by Little Spider, shocked.
Letting Little Mouse cosplay as Lü Bu was because Little Spider was worried about it getting hurt, so she made protective armor. When choosing the appearance template, Lu Yu had casually picked Lü Bu's set.
But he really hadn't expected Little Mouse to actually surpass its master, riding a motorcycle with the feel of a warhorse.
The Warrior God Lu Mouse had descended upon the world.
Its Role-Playing Method was max-level!
The Black Scale Model 3 motorcycle was renamed Red Hare overnight.
If he hadn't known that Little Mouse was timid by nature and that everything just now was an accident, Lu Yu would have thought this guy was usually pretending to be a schemer and tricking him.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, finally culminating in a single word of praise:
“Good job!”
“Hehe!” Little Mouse smiled and held up its paw, showing four fingers, and said, “Kill all these Stitched Demons. Is it too much to ask for four bags of potato chips in return?”
Not at all.
Your way of calculating is great. It saves money and is extremely insulting!
Hearing the two of them pricing them like potato chips, the Stitched Demons' faces contorted with rage.
They now understood that the arrival of this motorcycle-riding Hamster was no accident, but a premeditated plan by the man before them.
He used this strange Hamster as bait to attract their attention, while he secretly went to destroy the Mist Ritual Sacrificial Instrument.
Speaking of the sacrificial instrument…
They looked at their previous position and found that what had just been thrown down was a shattered glass orb.
“The sacrificial instrument is broken!”
The Gorilla Stitched Demon's face was so dark that water could drip from it.
It recognized this as the core sacrificial instrument of the Mist Ritual, which came in two parts, a main and a sub. What he held was the sub-instrument.
This sacrificial instrument could control the main instrument to release mist, luring human Beast Tamers into the forest to be ambushed. It could sense the approach of powerful enemies through the mist and even create a mist cage to trap them.
This sacrificial instrument was lent to them by their leader. Now that it was destroyed here, they would surely face severe punishment.
Having been inscribed with the mark of the Wings of Flesh and Blood, it was impossible for them to escape the leader's control.
Thinking of a future more terrifying than death, the three Stitched Demons couldn't help but shudder.
They looked at Lu Yu on the tree and roared:
“You destroyed the sacrificial instrument, so you’ll pay for it with your life!”
Since the mistake had already been made, the only way was to bring this guy's corpse back. Perhaps it would lessen the punishment.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The Gorilla Stitched Demon was the first to act. Seeing that Lu Yu would have a hard time dodging on the tree, it suddenly swung its giant arms, flinging a large number of iron sheets and rusty blades from between its fingers.
Empowered by its flesh and blood, they glowed red and swept over like a shower of pear blossoms.
Limb Grafting Technique—Explosive Gorilla Pear Blossom Rain!
However, before this tetanus shower could get close, it all stopped in mid-air.
It was as if they were held by an invisible hand!
“How is that possible!?”
The Gorilla Stitched Demon was stunned, but as the mist completely dissipated and the bright moonlight shone down, dispelling the darkness, it finally saw the scene before it clearly. Its pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.
At some point, the crowns of all the surrounding trees had become entangled with a vast amount of spider silk, densely woven into a huge spider web that covered the entire area.
And those iron pieces were stuck fast to the web in mid-air, like moths caught in a net, unable to move.
And on the spider web, a beautiful spider girl walked out from the Void. She moved slowly on her spider legs, six Void Eyes appearing behind her, emitting a soul-stirring purple glow, like a terrifying monster preparing to feed.
And its prey was on the ground!
She slowly extended a slender finger, brushing past the spider silk in front of her, using a new spider silk extension skill she had developed after her silk reached the Expert-level.
Thread Technique—Hunting Encirclement Net!
It was like an ancient imperial hunt, where a large number of soldiers would drive the prey into a certain range, after which the hunters would rain down arrows.
And within this pre-woven spider web, Everything was prey!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The huge spider web in the sky trembled as if the strings of a pipe organ had been plucked. The spider silks vibrated, creating a beautiful melody that played with the wind and spread in all directions.
But to the Stitched Demons, it was like the tolling of a death knell.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Countless spider silks shot out from the web, striking from high above, forming a rain of arrows that covered the area.
Each thread was dense and contained the power to pierce flesh and cut through anything.
“Oh no, Crab, you defend!”
The other two Stitched Demons weren't specialized in defense and didn't dare to face the seemingly delicate spider silk head-on.
They pushed the Crab Claw Stitched Demon to the front.
As an organization of complete villains, they naturally had no concept of comradeship.
When trouble arose, they would sell out their teammates first.
“You two bastards, you only think of me at times like this!”
The Crab Claw Stitched Demon cursed, but its body obediently took a step forward.
It wasn't because it was loyal, but simply because the three Stitched Demons were all in the same boat. If the other two died, it would be a dead end for it as well.
A relationship based on mutual interest was much stronger than so-called emotions. It could only be obediently manipulated by the other two without worrying about them turning on it.
But when it came to dividing the flesh and blood later, it would definitely get an extra share as compensation.
Thus, the Crab Claw Stitched Demon crossed its pincers above its head, like a steel gate, protecting the three demons beneath it.
Limb Grafting Technique—Steel Crab Cross Shield!
Clang, clang, clang!
A series of dull thuds like blunt instruments striking something rang out. The rain of spider silks hit the crab claws, creating a shower of dazzling sparks.
An uninformed observer might have thought a welding operation was underway.
Crack, crack, crack!
The immense impact forced the Crab Claw Stitched Demon's body to sink continuously.
The ground beneath its feet first cracked, then shattered. Under the tremendous force, a pit was hammered out.
However, after just the first wave of attacks, the crab claws were already in a precarious state, riddled with dense holes as if they had been strafed by heavy weapons. Glass-like cracks had already appeared.
“It’s fine. This consumes a lot of spiritual power.
As long as we withstand this first barrage, this thing will exhaust itself first!” the Gorilla Stitched Demon analyzed calmly. Although it looked like a brute, it was actually the strategist.
The other Stitched Demons also breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for the spider web to disintegrate before tearing this thing to shreds!
The spider web in the sky thinned at a visible rate. Just as they thought it was over, Little Spider suddenly replenished the web and continued the bombardment.
And after doing all this, Little Spider's face was rosy, showing no signs of fatigue. She was full of energy, which left the Stitched Demons dumbfounded.
Doesn't it get tired after consuming so much spirituality?
“S-so terrifying!”
Xiao Bing was stunned by this scene. Although he didn't know the spider girl's exact strength, the fact that she didn't emit the aura of Silver or Gold Spirituality during such high-intensity combat meant that…
It was just a Servant Rank Pet Beast!
At this rank, a pet was either born with weak potential or was still in its Juvenile Stage, with its transcendent organs not yet mature, resulting in low strength.
Yet at this moment, this spider girl was crossing a major rank, suppressing three High-tier Elite Stitched Demons all by herself, making them unable to even lift their heads.
What kind of monster Beast Tamer was this!?
But only Lu Yu knew that, although Little Spider was an Overlord Pet Beast with a space attribute and many powerful skills, allowing her to cross a major rank and be equivalent to an ordinary High-tier Elite Pet Beast, and could even take on any Peak Elite Pet Beast with Little Mouse's help, That was her limit.
After all, she was just a baby, born only a few days ago!
The reason it looked like she was completely dominating now was entirely because she had pre-woven the high-altitude strike of the [Hunting Encirclement Net].
Anyone with military knowledge would know that a high-altitude strike is a complete Dimensionality Reduction Strike against ground-based life.
This can be seen from everyday examples of objects thrown from high places; an ordinary shard of glass can become a deadly weapon at a certain height, let alone sharp spider silk.
Especially while taking advantage of the fact that the Stitched Demons couldn't fly, she also had the [Spirit Brimming] buff.
Her spiritual power, already far exceeding that of her peers, had its endurance doubled, allowing her to start with a wave of spider silk to clear the field.
“Oh no… I can’t hold on much longer!”
The Crab Claw Stitched Demon let out a pained growl.
With a series of cracking sounds, its crab claws suddenly shattered into countless pieces, revealing not skinless arms, but long, red, worm-like Tentacles.
And this was the true face of the Stitched Demons' flesh and blood grafting power!
Although it had lost its protection, the Crab Claw Stitched Demon showed no fear.
Instead, it roared:
“Now!”
The Elephant Foot Stitched Demon stomped its foot violently, shaking the earth and kicking up a cloud of dust that blurred their vision. The next moment, hundreds of sharp crab claw fragments flew out from within, spinning at high speed and imbued with cutting power.
However, the target was no longer Lu Yu, but the spider web in the sky!
Rip, rip!
The area where Little Spider stood was protected by a Spider Silk Shield and remained unharmed. However, the rest of the web, lacking protection, was directly severed by the high-speed rotating fragments and disintegrated into countless scattered spider silks.
The white threads floated down like catkins, as if it were snowing heavily.
Although the scenery was beautiful, there was no time to weave it again!
And this was the goal of the three Stitched Demons!
By sacrificing the crab claws, they could escape the suppression of this large net.
Without this suppressive fire from the "Hunting Encirclement Net," they would have a chance to strike!
They looked at the Main Culprit standing on the tree, the flames of anger in their hearts burning fiercely, their eyes boiling with Killing Intent.
“I’ll gouge out your eyes and mount them on my feet to be trampled day and night!”
“I want his arms!”
“I’ll cut off his head and hang it from my waist, keeping it alive to be my new urinal.”
The three Stitched Demons uttered venomous curses as their figures flashed, rushing towards the tree.
Although the Crab Claw Stitched Demon had lost its most powerful pincers, it tore open its abdomen and pulled out a bloody meat hook shaped like an intestine with a hook at the end.
Limb Grafting Technique—Corrupt Intestine Snake Meat Hook!
This was what he got after grafting the intestine of the Transcendent Creature—the Intestine Snake—to replace his own. Without even needing to be swung, the meat hook shot out like a venomous snake, sweeping towards Lu Yu on the tree.
Once hooked, it would tear off a large chunk of flesh and bone, which would be directly swallowed and digested.
The Elephant Foot Stitched Demon, on the other hand, charged towards the giant tree.
Its elephant-like foot suddenly lifted, and its pillar-like right leg kicked out, directly snapping the thick tree trunk. The tree crashed forward with a loud rumble, raising a cloud of dust.
Lu Yu twisted his body to dodge the meat hook and gracefully drifted down, landing on the ground with composure.
In the distance, Xiao Bing used his last bit of strength to shout:
“Get out of the way!”
Amidst the dust, the bloody meat hook shot up, distracting Little Spider in the sky.
The remaining two Stitched Demons charged out, forming an encirclement that sealed off all escape routes. The giant gorilla fist smashed down, and the elephant foot stomped!
Limb Grafting Technique—Explosive Gorilla Smash Fist!
Limb Grafting Technique—Earth-Shaking Elephant Mountain-Shattering Stomp!
“Die!”
The roars of the two Stitched Demons were deafening.
Their eyes were savage, already impatient to crush this human into pulp.
“It’s over…” Xiao Bing slowly closed his eyes, unable to bear watching the tragic scene that was about to unfold.
Without the protection of a Pet Beast, how could a mere mortal body withstand these cruel and savage Stitched Demons?
However, facing this deadly predicament, Lu Yu kept his hands in his pockets and looked at the approaching Stitched Demons, thinking to himself:
‘This distance is perfect for testing the new Combination Skill…'
There was no need to speak. The thought was transmitted through their contract, and Little Spider in the sky understood.
She used Blink to dodge the incoming bloody meat hook and swung her Spider Silk Sword, cutting it in two.
The entire process was as graceful as a soaring swan.
It was as if she wasn't fighting, but performing a grand classical dance, elegant and composed. Then, the Spider Silk Sword in her hand disintegrated…
Her hands came together in a prayer!
Wearing the Black Eye-covering Cloth, Little Spider's expression was solemn, like a devout saintess praying to an indescribable Great Existence in the Void.
Suddenly, dozens of Void Fissures appeared around Lu Yu, as if ancient void demons had opened their eyes, silent and dark…
