Transformed into Hyper Zetton, the school beauty was terrified in the second playthrough.

Upon hearing Gu Wanxue's evaluation, the fat bird monster immediately became furious.

"Ugh!!!"

He let out a long cry, his unique roar.

"Mere human! So what if you know a lot about my original monster form? I, fused with the Bemstar monster's alien core, am twice as strong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light emanated from the fat bird monster's pointed head.

He fired a laser beam at Gu Wanxue.

Gu Wanxue had anticipated this, and simply leaped to the side, easily dodging the laser beam as if taking a leisurely stroll.

The laser beam blasted a four-meter-deep crater into the gravel ground.

Gu Wanxue drew the rusty broken Qinghong sword, which immediately drew laughter from the fat bird monster.

"Hahahaha!!"

"You're not planning to use that trashy weapon against me, are you? Forgive my bluntness, but that broken sword would have a hard time even cutting a hair off me!"

Extra weapons are weapons made from monster materials. In most cases, if an extra weapon is damaged, it will lose a lot of power, and in severe cases, it will be unable to release extra weapon combat skills.

A weapon like the Azure Rainbow Sword, which is broken in half and rusted, is practically worthless, like scrap metal found on the roadside.

"Whether my sword is sharp or not, we'll find out soon enough." Gu Wanxue, wielding the Azure Rainbow Sword, charged straight at the fat bird monster.

"Ridiculous! You think you can hurt me with your B-rank combatant strength and that broken sword? I'll eat this mountain!"

The fat bird monster spread its arms, and the hexagonal red shield on its belly lit up.

Activate damage absorption mode.

Next, no matter what kind of attack is thrown at it or in which direction, it will be absorbed by the red shield and then returned to the enemy.

Gu Wanxue jumped into the air and looked at the hexagonal red shield that was glowing red. She said calmly, "Damage absorption is the most shameless ability among those of the same level. Only attacks that exceed the absorption limit can break through this defense."

Unfortunately, I do possess this power.

bass! ! !

The surface of the Azure Rainbow Sword was covered with a layer of rainbow halo.

Gu Wanxue held the Qinghong Sword with both hands, resting it on her right shoulder, and said with a light smile, "One sword, startling swan."

call out! ! !

In the blink of an eye, Gu Wanxue, who should have been directly in front of the fat bird monster, suddenly flashed behind it.

He landed slowly, and without turning his head, he sheathed the Azure Rainbow Sword.

Crackle...

The fat bird monster was frozen in place, and intricate white marks rapidly spread out from the center of the hexagonal red shield.

It's like a piece of tempered glass that's been dropped from a height onto a concrete floor; the surface is covered in cracks, but it doesn't break.

Unfortunately, the fat bird monster isn't as hard as tempered glass.

After white marks covered all over his body, he suddenly shattered.

Bang! ! !

Fragments of the fat bird monster's skin fell like petals scattered by a celestial maiden.

Gu Wanxue walked down the mountain without looking back.

There was a time when she doubted whether her power as a reborn person was too weak.

Now, that doubt has been dispelled.

She is now more than three times stronger than in her previous life, but this wasn't apparent before; she was simply that despicable black lobster monster.

He interrupted his own attempt to show off.

"The Monarchy sent members in black robes to capture promising players, so there should be a team leader here. I need to find him quickly."

Thinking of this, Gu Wanxue quickened her pace down the mountain.

…………

Rumble...

A rumbling sound could be heard from the forest from time to time.

Covered in blood, Cheng Bo was beaten black and blue by a muscular cockroach monster and sent flying hundreds of meters away.

"What a joke... How could a Nightmare-level monster possibly possess power nearly reaching the City-Breaking level?"

Cheng Bo stood up again, his fighting spirit and arrogance completely gone.

All that remains is endless fear.

escape!

At that moment, he had only this thought in his mind.

My eyes glanced to the right, where another monster was fighting with someone.

Cheng Bo couldn't see who the person was, but that didn't hinder his survival plan.

"You stinking cockroach! Take this punch delivered with the force of thunder!"

Cheng Bo struck a humanoid pose that no one would understand for the next decade, and unleashed a punch as big as a bus at the cockroach monster.

"Heh, a mere trick, still not giving up?" The cockroach monster slammed its fist into the shadow of the fist with disdain.

In an instant, the fist-shaped shadow exploded, containing thirty instant-exploding smoke bombs, which were fully deployed.

Bang! ! !

Thick smoke immediately enveloped the upper half of the cockroach monster's body.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Despicable humans! Is this the only trick they can use to disgust me?!"

After finally dissipating the thick smoke, the cockroach monster looked back at where Cheng Bo had been standing and found that he was gone.

Upon expanding their perception, they discovered that his aura had drifted away into the distance.

"Hmph, you think you can outrun me?!" The cockroach monster used nitro boost to catch up.

…………

Meanwhile, Xia Qi encountered a mantis monster.

The two appeared to be evenly matched, but in reality, the mantis monster was at a disadvantage.

"Damn it! How come this little girl has such good stamina? I've been fighting her for so long and she hasn't even broken a sweat!" the mantis monster cursed inwardly.

It was nearing its physical limit; if this continued, it would probably be the first to collapse.

A bead of sweat slid down Xia Qi's forehead.

"Luckily, I was strengthened by drinking the Blood Crystal Essence, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to defeat this mantis monster," she thought to herself with relief.

Just then.

Suddenly, a muscular man covered in blood sprang out of the bushes nearby.

Upon seeing Xia Qi, Cheng Bo seemed to grasp at a last straw and quickly approached Xia Qi excitedly, saying, "Don't panic, ally! I'll help you deal with this mantis monster!"

Xia Qi was slightly taken aback, but being simple-minded, she didn't think much of it.

He nodded and looked at the mantis monster, saying, "Be careful of the mantis monster's forelimbs; they're very fast and can attack from a distance. Also..."

boom! !

Xia Qi was speaking when she was suddenly punched hard in the back. As she flew away, she looked back in disbelief.

He met Cheng Bo's sinister gaze.

"I'd rather die than see you die, little sister. I apologize, but I'll erect a tombstone for you when I get back."

Cheng Bo revealed a cunning smile, immediately crushed two instant-explosion smoke grenades, and disappeared from the spot.

Xia Qi flipped in the air and landed steadily. He felt a slight stinging pain in his back, but he was not seriously injured.

"What did that bastard do to me?!" Xia Qi was completely baffled.

At that moment, the earth shook violently.

A cockroach monster ran over.

"What brings you here? Was that muscular man your target?" the mantis monster asked, puzzled.

Ignoring its companions, the cockroach monster expanded its detection domain and discovered that the aura that should have belonged to Cheng Bo was all gathered on Xia Qi.

"Damn it! How did that bastard's aura transfer to this girl?!" The cockroach monster stomped its foot angrily.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qi's pupils dilated; she finally understood what Cheng Bo had done to her.

"Damn it! To save your own lives, you lured over monsters you couldn't handle, and now you're using me as cannon fodder to hold them off?!"

If looks could kill, Xia Qi's gaze would have already torn Cheng Bo to pieces.

"Never mind that person for now. Since we're already here, do me a favor and help me subdue this girl! She's troublesome; I can't take her down in a short time," the mantis monster said to the cockroach monster.

The cockroach monster is venting its anger on its head, but has no one to vent it on.

"Hmph, trash, you can't even handle a little girl!" The cockroach monster decisively threw a punch at Xia Qi.

Xia Qi sensed a strong threat and quickly unleashed two pentagram-shaped fist shadows to block the cockroach monster's punches.

It was during the brief moment she made her move that the mantis monster had the opportunity to strike.

He spread out his barbed arms and slashed horizontally at Xia Qi.

Oops!

Xia Qi, unable to fight off four hands with his bare fists, quickly leaned back to dodge the mantis's arms.

But the barbs still left a two-finger-long cut on her cheek.

Boom! !

Xia Qi's heart skipped a beat, and in an instant, his entire eyeball turned as black as an abyss.
