My stats are higher than yours!!

Charge!

Reclaim the Grey Rock Monitor Lizard!

"what!!"

With a roar, Yanshan, whose body was 5 meters tall, charged towards Bai Shuodong in an instant, no longer caring about Tieya behind him.

"hu~hu~"

Iron Teeth knelt on one knee, panting heavily, and finally breathed a 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 Yanshan. After all, Yanshan 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!!"

...

On the other side

The five-meter-tall Yanshan ran wildly across the battlefield, its footsteps making a thunderous roar, 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 HP +30%, abnormal status resistance increased, control effect resistance increased.

②Rock 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 health.

Additional information: Once the surface rock layer is destroyed, the effect of fixed immune 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 Yanshan was indeed a king-level powerhouse with frighteningly high basic attributes, and he also possessed the terrifying ability of the [Bloody Rock Armor], a battlefield weapon of mass destruction.

He is immune to 10% of his maximum health in damage, which is enough to make him immune to most damage on the battlefield. Even if the immunity effect is reduced after the rock armor is broken, it is armor made of rock-attribute power and can be reconstituted by consuming power.

The Rockfall Slash is the same; it doesn't have any fancy effects, it's just a high multiplier. If Bai Shuodong were hit by this slash, he would feel like he would be sent flying on the spot.

Fortunately, my Grey Rock Monitor Lizard is no pushover either!

Bai Shuodong smiled as he looked at the gray rock giant lizard beneath him.

Rock Lizard (Level 1 Monarch)

Race: Grey Rock Monitor

[Basic Attributes]

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

【ability】

① King's Appearance: Maximum HP +40%, abnormal status resistance increased, control effect resistance increased.

③ Limb Regeneration: Basic life recovery speed is increased by 100%, and limb regeneration can be completed in a short time by consuming life force.

④ Rock Skin: The Grey Rock Monitor possesses incredibly tough skin, providing fixed immunity to 1% of its maximum health. The Grey Rock Monitor can use rock elements to enhance the rock attribute strength of its skin, increasing the damage immunity up to 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 is 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 the Gray Rock Giant Lizard, amplified by the [Laughter Factor]!

Self-healing speed increased by 800%!

Stamina recovery speed increased by 800%!

"Bang!!"

The gray rock monitor lizard collided with the rock mountain, creating an incredibly terrifying sound. Countless rocks and soil shattered and fell to the ground. The gray rock monitor 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 Lizard's head, roaring angrily, "Remember my fist, Rock Lizard!"

"hiss!!"

The gray rock giant lizard roared and snapped its jaws at Rock Mountain'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 balance.

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

[Note: Vibration damage detected; short-term adaptation trigger]

[Note: Increased resistance to vibration damage]

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

【断】

Invisible slash bursts forth.

But the rock mountain had already closed its eyes, lowered its forehead, and the invisible strike cleaved through the rock and soil, leaving a shallow bloodstain on its forehead inside the rock and soil.

"Humph!"

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

Feeling the stinging pain on 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, wielding hand, Yan Shan instantly formed a giant blade of rock and earth, which crashed down with a thunderous roar.

Smoke billowed up, and the gray rock 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 turbid 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 has 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, watching the bloody battle between the Gray Rock Giant Lizard and Rock Mountain before him. Without hesitation, he charged forward, activating [Slow Burst] as if by instinct. His body's power reached its peak in an instant, and 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 Shuo Dong flying, and the giant rock fist struck the falling Bai Shuo Dong 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.

A few minutes later

He raised a hand from the ditch, grabbed the broken soil beside him, and slowly pulled his 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 created 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 is 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 have the Blood Demon Armor's extra 100 HP boost. Otherwise, with my measly 9 points of constitution... I would not have been able to survive at all."

Bai Shuodong gasped for breath as the life force within his body continuously poured in [Demon Blood]. The body parts constructed with Demon Blood also transformed from illusory flesh into reality.

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

[Hint: Physical strength greatly increased]

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

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

A series of spiritual prompts rang out, and 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 the damaged parts to heal quickly.

At this critical moment of death, the true power of [Short-term Adaptation] is unleashed, with an increase far exceeding that of the past.

After another minute of rest.

Bai Shuodong stood up.

He did some simple exercises and his condition has improved considerably, but he is still far from fully recovered.

On the battlefield, the Grey Rock Giant Lizard and Rock Mountain fought fiercely. The giant beast was not as strong as Rock Mountain, but its vitality far exceeded that of its opponent. Even after suffering more severe injuries than its opponent, the Grey Rock Giant Lizard was still able to continue fighting.

Compared to Rock Mountain, the other Gray Rock warriors were in much worse condition.

Although they had a large number of men, their equipment and morale were poor, especially when they were attacked from both sides and the enemy included their own men, which further dampened their already low morale.

The original team of several thousand people had now been nearly half slaughtered, with countless corpses lying on the ground and blood flowing like streams.

"This thing has gotten stronger! Its self-healing speed is even more terrifying than before!"

Yanshan punched the Gray Rock Giant Lizard away again, his expression extremely ugly. If he had only defeated the original Gray Rock Giant Lizard, he wouldn't have felt anything. Although the Gray Rock Giant Lizard was strong, it was not impossible for him, as one of the Four Generals.

The problem is that the gray rock giant lizard in front of us has become stronger and more ferocious. If we don't deal with it, this war behemoth will rampage across the battlefield.

As a general of the Gray Rock Tribe, no one knew better than him the power of the Gray Rock Giant Lizard on the battlefield.

but...

I can't subdue it in a short time! I can't kill this guy either!

"Hey, long time no see!"

Bai Shuodong crawled out from the pile of corpses, his body covered in countless bloodstains, his smile appearing ferocious and terrifying against the backdrop of blood.

"real or fake?"

Yanshan was greatly alarmed.

This guy is still alive?

He didn't hold back with that punch. Even if the other guy blocked it with his weapon, he shouldn't have survived, right? How did he survive? Even if he survived, he couldn't have gotten to me, could he? Weren't any of his bones broken?

Soon, seeing the maniacal smile on the other person's face, he instantly realized the root of the problem.

"A curse of maniacal laughter?"

"Idiot!"

Bai Shuodong laughed and started cursing, then casually charged forward again.

"Then I'll kill again!"

Yanshan's eyes were fierce. He shoved the gray rock giant lizard away and threw another punch, meeting Bai Shuodong's fragile fist head-on.

"Bang!!"

A violent shockwave erupted, and Bai Shuodong's body flew backward again, but this time he was not rendered unable to fight.

Amidst the smoke and dust, he slowly stood up, casually patted the dust off his body, and looked at his twisted and deformed arm, which was shaped like scarlet demonic blood. Bai Shuodong looked at the arm made of demonic blood and tried to move it.

Ok

It's not much different from a real arm, except it doesn't have the normal feel.

[Warning: You have suffered fatal damage. Short-term adaptation triggered.]

[Hint: Physical strength greatly increased]
