My stats are higher than yours!

Kill it!

Reclaim the Grey Rock Monitor!

"what!!"

With a roar, Yan Shan, whose body was 5 meters tall, charged towards Bai Shuodong in an instant, ignoring Tie Ya behind him.

"hu~hu~"

Iron Fang knelt on one knee, panting heavily, and finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and thought to himself: If this fight continues, he will be beaten to death by Yan Shan. After all, Yan Shan is one of the Four Generals of Gray Rock, and his strength is far superior to his own.

Immediately, Tieya turned around, raised his hand, and shouted loudly, "Brothers! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

"kill!!"

...

the other side

The five-meter-tall rock mountain galloped across the battlefield, its stomping feet making a thunderous sound, like an invincible war machine. Even Bai Shuodong, sitting on the gray rock giant lizard, couldn't help but feel secretly terrified.

Mental detection!

【Rock Mountain (Level 1 Monarch)】

Race: Human

[Basic Attributes]

Strength: 28, Agility: 19, Constitution: 30, Spirit: 13

【ability】

① King's Appearance: Maximum health +30%, abnormal status resistance increased, control effect resistance increased.

②Rock Heavy Armor: Gathers a massive amount of Rock attribute power into oneself, greatly increasing body size, Strength +30%, Constitution +30%, and grants fixed immunity to damage below 10% of one's maximum HP.

Additional information: Once the surface rock layer is destroyed, the effect of fixed immunity to damage will be reduced.

③ Rockfall Slash: Gathers Rock-elemental power to form a cleaver, dealing 200% Strength-elemental damage.

④? ? ?

Bai Shuodong's expression changed slightly. This Yan Shan was indeed a king-level expert with frighteningly high basic attributes, and he also possessed the terrifying ability of the [Blazing Rock Heavy Armor], a battlefield weapon of mass destruction.

He is immune to 10% of his maximum HP in damage, which is enough to make him immune to most damage on the battlefield. Even if the immunity is reduced after the Rock Armor is broken, it is an armor made of Rock power, which can be used to rebuild it.

The Rockfall Slash is the same; it has no fancy effects, just a high multiplier. If Bai Shuodong were to be hit by this slash, he would feel like he would ascend to heaven on the spot.

Luckily, my gray rock giant lizard is no ordinary creature either!

Bai Shuodong smiled as he looked at the gray rock giant lizard he was sitting on.

Rock Lizard (Level 1 Monarch)

[Race: Grayrock Monitor Lizard]

[Basic Attributes]

Strength: 22, Agility: 20, Constitution: 28, Spirit: 6

The Grey Rock Giant can use Geo to enhance the Geo attribute of its skin, increasing the damage immunity up to a maximum of 5% of its maximum health, but this will continuously consume energy.

The Grey Rock Giant Lizard is the totem guardian beast of the Grey Rock Tribe, and its stats are ridiculously high.

Fortunately, this guy was a beast with weak mental attributes, and he couldn't withstand the long-term erosion of the [Laughter Factor] at all. He was forcibly infected by the [Laughter Factor] while fighting.

so...

Now approaching the rocky mountain is a Grey Rock Giant Lizard enhanced by the [Laughter Factor]!

Self-healing speed increased by 800%!

Stamina recovery speed increased by 800%!

"Bang!!"

The gray rock giant lizard collided with the rocky mountain, unleashing an incredibly terrifying sound. Countless rocks and soil shattered and fell to the ground. The gray rock giant lizard let out an eerie laugh that was difficult to understand, and after taking only two steps back, it charged forward again.

Rock Mountain staggered from the impact, letting out a muffled groan before raising his fist and slamming it into the Gray Rock Giant Lizard's head, roaring furiously, "Remember my fist, Rock Lizard!"

"hiss!!"

The gray rock giant lizard roared and snapped its jaws at Yanshan's fist.

So exciting!

Standing behind the gray rock giant lizard, Bai Shuodong gripped the protrusion on its back tightly. The two impacts had left his arms numb and he had almost been thrown off.

Is this what a battle between king-level powerhouses looks like?

[Note: Oscillation damage detected, short-term adaptation triggered]

[Note: Increased resistance to oscillation damage]

He raised his hand, pointing two fingers at Yanshan's eyes.

[Broken]

An invisible slash erupted.

But Yan Shan had already closed his eyes, his forehead lowered, and an invisible slash cut through the rock and soil, leaving a shallow bloodstain on his forehead inside the rock and soil.

"Humph!"

Yan Shan snorted coldly. He had already heard about Bai Shuodong from the rangers and knew that this guy could unleash invisible slashes. So when Bai Shuodong raised his hand, he dodged immediately.

Feeling the stinging pain in his forehead, his gaze grew colder. This guy posed a threat to him and had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Rockfall Slash!"

With a single, loose grip, Yan Shan instantly conjured a giant blade of rock and earth, which crashed down with a deafening roar.

Smoke and dust billowed up, and the gray rock giant lizard let out a painful hiss. At the same time, a figure silently flew out of the smoke and landed steadily on the ground.

"Whoo~"

Bai Shuodong exhaled a breath of stale air, his lion-like eyes fixed on the rocky mountain, and an invisible pressure instantly erupted.

【Lion's Might】

[Note: Mental attribute assessment failed; Willpower attribute assessment failed; Rock Mountain completely resisted the Lion's Might effect.]

Gan!

It had absolutely no effect. He only has 8 more points in spirit attribute than me, which is less than three times mine. How come it had no effect?

Bai Shuodong lay prone on the ground, looking at the bloody battle between the Gray Rock Giant Lizard and Rock Mountain in front of him, and rushed forward without hesitation. [Slow Burst] was activated as an instinctive reaction, and the power of his body reached its limit in an instant. The Gray Rock Battle Axe cleaved down.

Yan Shan raised his hand to block, and countless rock fragments scattered. Then, with a tremor of his arm, he sent Bai Shuodong flying, and the giant rock fist struck the falling Bai Shuodong squarely.

"boom!!"

Bai Shuodong's body flew backward, carving a deep trench in the ground. The gray rock battle axe also landed not far away, and the sounds of battle continued.

After a few minutes

A hand rose from the ravine, grasping the broken soil beside it, and slowly pulled its body out of the pit.

At this moment, Bai Shuodong's neck was broken, and his body looked extremely strange, with no part of it intact. He reached out and forcibly straightened his neck, revealing scarlet bloodstains on the injured area, which were the parts simulated by the Blood Demon Armor [Demon Blood].

It was precisely because of the [Demon Blood] that he was able to move normally at this moment.

"It hurts!"

"Ouch! That hurts!!"

"All the bones in my body were shattered, not a single muscle was intact. A punch with 36 points of strength was terrifying beyond belief. I almost died!"

"Fortunately, my body has been permanently enhanced by [Adaptive Evolution], and my base strength is much higher than that of a normal person. In addition, I also have the Blood Demon Armor's extra 100 life boost. Otherwise, with my measly 9 points of constitution... I would not have been able to survive at all."

Bai Shuodong gasped for breath, his life force continuously flowing into [Demon Blood]. The body parts constructed with Demon Blood transformed from illusory flesh into real flesh.

[Warning: Your body has been detected to have suffered fatal damage, triggering a short-term adaptation.]

[Hint: Physical strength has been greatly improved]

[Prompt: Your current state is near death, triggering short-term adaptation]

[Note: Self-healing speed has been greatly improved]

As a series of spiritual prompts sounded, Bai Shuodong's body began to undergo a qualitative change. He felt a continuous flow of life force surging out of his body, making his body more resilient and allowing damaged parts to heal quickly.

In this moment of imminent death, the true power of [short-term adaptation] is unleashed, with an improvement far exceeding that of the past.

After resting for another minute.

Bai Shuodong stood up.
