The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

Su Yuan's pupils contracted slightly.

This thing was a full two meters tall and had a bulky body, quite different from the previous slender scarecrows.

Its body resembled a poorly tailored creation, haphazardly pieced together from various animal hides and limbs, with a few strands of charred straw hanging on it, like a writhing mountain of flesh.

And atop this mountain of flesh lies a rotting, grotesque human head.

Su Yuan recognized that face from a photo in the diary; it was Old Mike, the farmer!

But now, his face had lost the kindness of the photo; his skin was dry and dark, his eyes were sunken, and his mouth was open unnaturally, as if he were roaring silently.

In its hand, it also held a huge skull-crushing hammer, the head of which was made of rough cast iron and covered with dried dark red bloodstains.

The moment Su Yuan saw its appearance clearly, a line of blood-red warning messages suddenly popped up in front of him.

[WARNING: Danger! An unknown monster has broken through the seal; the danger level of this dungeon has increased!]

[Current danger level: 2.5 stars!]

Immediately afterwards, the monster's specific information was presented to Su Yuan.

【Name: The Madman Frankenstein】

[Type: Special Monster]

[Background: That damned witch tricked me! No, not a witch, but a disguised evil god! Why did you play me for a fool?]

[Synopsis: After successfully "finding" his son using sorcery, Old Mike gradually longs to be with his family forever.]

He dug up his wife's body and began to use the contents of the witch's book to transform himself.

But after completing a series of mysterious rituals, he discovered he had been deceived, everything had failed, he had become this inhuman, grotesque creature, his wife had turned into a mindless monster, and his son was trapped in a straw body, the price being eternal servitude.

"So this is the real deal."

Su Yuan quickly processed this information in his mind.

Witches, evil gods, self-modification... This is quite a lot of information.

It seems that the world is far more bizarre and complex than he imagined.

Old Mike was clearly tricked by someone in a higher position, turning himself into a Frankenstein's monster.

His last shred of sanity led him to lock himself away from something even more dangerous.

"Another, even more dangerous presence, is definitely his wife!"

It's not hard to guess from here that Su Yuan even connected it to another detail, suggesting that there were already signs that Old Mike had been tricked.

His wife must have died many years ago, but when she was dug up, she wasn't decomposed at all; she looked exactly as if she had just died. It would be strange if that weren't ghosts.

The Stitched Monster's murky eyes were fixed on Su Yuan, filled with a frenzied hatred and incomprehension, and it almost roared:

"Why...why did you...hurt my...child?"

A string of broken words came from the other person's mouth, and Su Yuan automatically translated what the other person meant and immediately understood.

Clearly, although it had completely lost its mind and become a monster with only a desire to kill, and sealed itself away, it still rushed out when Tommy was in dire straits.

Before the words were even finished, the Frankenstein monster moved.

It roared, striding forward with its thick lower limbs, stitched together from the legs of different animals, and brandishing its enormous skull-crushing hammer, charging toward Su Yuan.

The ground trembled slightly as it ran, and the sense of oppression was far greater than that of the previous scarecrow.

"The speed is not fast."

Su Yuan made a judgment in his mind instantly.

This thing is too big. Although it looks terrifying when it charges, its absolute speed and agility are not even as good as those ordinary scarecrows.

For Su Yuan, whose physique and agility already far surpassed those of ordinary people, this speed was no different from slow motion.

Just as the skull-crushing hammer, carrying a fierce wind, was about to smash down on his head, Su Yuan remained calm. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his body, like a weightless feather, floated several meters to the side and back, easily dodging the powerful blow.

"boom!"

The skull-crushing hammer slammed down on the spot where Su Yuan had just stood, instantly creating a half-meter-deep crater in the hard ground, with dirt and gravel flying everywhere.

Having missed its target, the Stitches seemed even more enraged. It roared again, dragging its heavy steps, and turned to strike with its hammer once more.

Su Yuan continued to dodge with ease. He did not rush to retaliate, but instead carefully observed the monster in front of him while dodging.

He discovered that although the Frankenstein's body was enormous, its movements were very stiff. Every time it turned or swung its hammer, its joints would make a "creaking" sound, indicating that the stitched parts were not perfectly integrated.

"He's full of weaknesses..." Su Yuan muttered to himself.

After probing the other party's background, Su Yuan no longer hesitated.

He dodged another sweeping attack, then lunged forward, his fire axe flashing white light as it slashed fiercely at the Stitches monster's thick right leg!

He wanted to test whether the purifying power of the mithril cross would be effective against this special kind of monster.

"Pfft!"

The axe blade slashed into the mountain of flesh, feeling as if it were striking a piece of tough cowhide; although it made the cut, the resistance was immense.

However, just as the axe blade pierced the flesh, the holy white flames suddenly burst into flames!

"roar--!"

The Frankenstein monster let out a painful roar.

Where the axe blade struck, white flames roared and devoured its flesh!

it works!

Su Yuan was overjoyed.

Although the effect was not as immediate as when it was used on the scarecrow, the Purifying Flame did indeed cause substantial damage to it!

"That makes things easier!"

Su Yuan drew his axe and, without pausing, charged forward again.

Unlike the scarecrow's unique body structure, this thing is extremely tough and thick-skinned, and can obviously withstand multiple attacks even when facing energy that suppresses evil spirits.

Su Yuan launched a concentrated attack on the slow-moving Stitches.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The axe blade continued to slash, and the purifying flames repeatedly erupted at the wounds.

The Stitching Monster roared in agony, wildly swinging its skull-crushing hammer, but its attacks couldn't even touch the hem of Su Yuan's clothes.

"roar!"

Finally, under Su Yuan's continuous attacks, the Stitched Monster's thick right leg could no longer support it, and its huge body suddenly tilted to one side, falling to its knees.

opportunity!

Su Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he leaped high into the air, gripping the fire axe tightly with both hands. He poured all his strength into it and slammed it down hard on the ugly head of the Stitched Monster!

With this axe, he would end this pathetic yet hateful monster!

Just as the axe blade, burning with white flames, was about to strike the stitched monster's head, a sudden change occurred!

The stitched monster, kneeling on the ground, suddenly flashed a cunning glint in its murky eyes.

It actually gave up using the skull crusher to block, and instead used its intact left hand to grab the trembling scarecrow "Tommy" next to it and put it directly in front of itself!

Su Yuan's pupils contracted slightly.

But he still swung the axe down without hesitation.

"Do you think I'm stupid? You've even learned to use hostages as a shield, but what does your son have to do with me!"

With a whoosh, flames burst forth and engulfed Tommy's body.

Its body trembled once, then vanished into nothingness. In the very last moment before its life ended, it offered no resistance, as if it too longed for such liberation.

But this also conveniently saved the Frankenstein monster from a fatal blow!

Taking advantage of the opening, the opponent reached out with one hand. Su Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart was pounding at its fastest. Fortunately, he managed to dodge the attack without serious injury.

However, after he landed, a line of text quickly appeared before his eyes.

[Note: Your emotions are fluctuating wildly, adrenaline is surging, and your body is in a state of stress, suggesting you may be facing a formidable enemy...]

[The "Evolution" talent passively triggers!]

[Gain new talent: Slashing Mastery (Your damage dealt when slashing with a weapon is permanently increased by 25% / Smashing attacks are also classified as slashing attacks, and this 25% effect applies to gathering.)]

[Attribute gained: Constitution +0.3]

The instant Su Yuan landed, the stitched monster in front of him seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then a painful roar quickly came out of its throat.

"It was you! You killed my son!!!"
