Tomb raiding live stream: Starting as the mute Zhang

The cave was filled with a chaotic interplay of light and shadow.

The monster roared, its roots thrashing about.

Two black figures darted among the claw shadows and vines, moving as fast as ghosts.

Zhang Qiling dodged a thick root that lashed out, the root brushing past his back and the resulting wind pressure causing his clothes to cling tightly to his body.

He lightly touched a pebble with his toes, his body suddenly rising high, flipping in mid-air, just barely passing over the monster's sweeping giant claw.

While in mid-air, he swept his right hand across his waist, and several cold stars shot out.

Instead of throwing knives, they were several specially made, angular, jet-black iron caltrops, which, with a faint whooshing sound, aimed directly at the black holes in the monster's eyes and its gaping maw.

The monster reacted extremely quickly, suddenly closing its eyes and turning its head.

The barbed wire struck its eyelids and cheeks, making a crisp "clinking" sound and sending up a few sparks that bounced off.

Only one shot entered its mouth, embedded itself in its flesh, and oozed dark red liquid.

This minor injury only further enraged the monster.

It roared and ignored Zhang Qiling falling from the sky. Its huge body suddenly turned and rushed towards "Zhang Qiling", who had just severed two roots and was recovering his energy.

At the same time, the giant tumor on his chest flashed with light, and even more thick roots sprouted from the ground and walls, blocking Zhang Qiling's escape route.

Zhang Qiling's eyes were cold; facing the encirclement, he advanced instead of retreating.

He ducked low, almost sliding along the ground, and passed under the two sweeping roots.

He swung the ancient knife upwards, slicing a deep gash in a root, from which viscous sap sprayed out.

The instant his slide ended, he slapped the ground with one hand, using the momentum to roll sideways, narrowly avoiding the monster's giant foot that was about to stomp down.

"boom!"

Gravel flew everywhere, and a shallow pit was trampled into the ground.

Zhang Qiling rolled to his feet, but before he could stand up, the monster's other claw came lashing out with a stench!

His five fingers, like hooks, blocked his space to dodge left and right.

Just then, an even faster shadow cut in!

It's Zhang Qiling!

He tumbled down in mid-air, but instead of landing, he lightly stepped on a waving root, using the force to change direction, and like a weightless willow catkin, drifted toward the monster's back.

Just as the monster's claws were about to grab Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qiling brought his right hand together, his fingertips glowing with a faint golden light, and silently pressed them against the monster's back.

That's exactly where the giant tumor on his chest corresponds to on his back!

The timing, angle, and speed were all perfect, precisely at the moment when the monster's old strength was exhausted, its new strength had not yet been generated, and its attention was entirely focused on "Zhang Qiling".

"puff!"

A muffled thud, like a heavy hammer striking broken leather.

The monster's massive body shuddered violently, its forward momentum abruptly halted, and it let out a howl that was a mixture of pain and rage.

Where it was hit on the back, the stratum corneum caved in, and the surrounding skin and flesh rippled violently, like waves.

More importantly, the giant tumor on its chest also contracted violently for a moment, and its light dimmed instantly.

"Zhang Qiling" seized this fleeting opportunity.

The ancient sword in his hand transformed into a straight black line, piercing straight at the monster's armpit, which opened slightly in pain.

The stratum corneum is thinner there, and it's close to the chest cavity!

"laugh!"

The knife tip penetrated three inches into the flesh, but was stuck by the taut muscles and bones.

The monster, in pain, swung its other arm back and slammed it hard at "Zhang Qiling".

Zhang Qiling decisively abandoned his knife, let go, and leaned back, letting the thick arm graz his nose, the strong wind stinging his cheek.

He exerted force with his feet and retreated rapidly.

After landing a successful attack, Zhang Qiling didn't linger and retreated, reuniting with "Zhang Qiling".

The monster pulled out the ancient sword from under its arm and casually threw it on the ground with a clanging sound.

More dark red liquid seeped from the wounds on its back and underarms, but it did not seem to have damaged the underlying tissue.

The giant tumor on his chest shone brightly again, even more so than before.

It turned around, its dark "eyes" locking onto the two of them, and made a terrifying "gurgling" sound from its throat, clearly extremely angry.

"The skin is too thick, and the core is protected." Zhang Qiling glanced at the monster's chest and quickly made a judgment.

"Normal attacks are ineffective." Zhang Qiling nodded, his gaze sweeping over his own knife on the ground.

That blow would have pierced through an ordinary body of flesh and blood.

But the monster's physical strength and regenerative ability far exceeded expectations.

The floating live-streaming sphere clearly displayed the thrilling teamwork and attack, as well as the monster's astonishing defensive capabilities.

The live chat was already flooded with comments like "Holy crap!", "He's still alive?", and "He's so tough!"

Wu Xie and the others were extremely anxious.

Even when Zhang Qiling and "Zhang Qiling" joined forces, they could not seriously injure this monster. What exactly is its weakness?

Wang Cen was even more anxious.

He stared intently at the giant tumor on the monster's chest, then glanced at the black and gold ancient sword on the ground, his eyes flickering as if he were weighing something.

He wanted that "core," but judging from the situation, he wouldn't be able to get it without dealing with this monster.

"Damn it, I can't stand it anymore!"

Fatty Wang rolled up his sleeves and picked up his entrenching tool.

"These guys can't cut it, let's add some spice! Hey bro, do you have any tough stuff?"

Black Bear, who had been squinting as he observed the battle, grinned upon hearing this:

"Hard work? Sure. But we have to be careful in this place, lest we end up burying ourselves in it."

He patted a long package on his back, which contained his "personal goods".

"However, this thing is tough and thick-skinned, so ordinary gunpowder would probably only scratch its surface. We'll have to find an opportunity to put it in its mouth or wound."

"But that depends on having the opportunity!" the fat man said urgently.

Just then, the monster seemed to have been really enraged by the cooperation between Zhang Qiling and "Zhang Qiling" and had figured out some of their tactics.

It no longer rushed to attack, but stood still, its huge tumor on its chest throbbing rhythmically, making a muffled "thump, thump" sound.

As the pulse pulsated, all the dark red veins on the cave floor and walls lit up in sync.

Countless tiny roots sprouted from all directions, like living vines, slowly converging, entwining, and merging towards the center of the cave, where the monster was located.

The monster's wounds were being covered and repaired at a visible speed by newly formed, dark red granulation tissue.

It opened its mouth wide, greedily inhaling the sweet, fishy smell in the air and the energy transmitted through its veins.

It is...recovering!

Moreover, it seems to be preparing for an even more powerful attack, or... summoning something!

"We mustn't let it recover!"

Xie Yuchen said sternly.

"It's absorbing the energy of this cave!"

"Interrupt it!"

"Zhang Qiling" let out a low shout and charged out again.

This time, instead of attacking the monster directly, he swung his sword at the thick roots that were converging on it!

With a flash of light, several roots were severed, and a large amount of viscous liquid gushed out from the cuts. The light from the giant tumor on the monster's chest also flickered.

It works! Attacking these veins will disrupt the monster!

Zhang Qiling understood, his figure blurred, and he darted to the other side, his fingers like knives, quickly severing several extending roots.

The monster let out an angry roar.

It stopped "feeding," and its massive body started moving again, rushing towards "Zhang Qiling," who was destroying the meridians, in an attempt to stop it.

"Now!"

Black Bear's eyes lit up, and he gestured to A Ning and Jiang Xun Gu.

"Cover me!"

He took off the long bundle from his back and quickly opened it.

Inside were several sections of metal pipe that could be joined together and a cylindrical object.

He quickly connected the metal tubes, fitted them with a cylinder, and assembled them into a rugged-looking single-soldier launcher with a scope.

Then he took out several specially made rifle grenades with dark red bullets and fine runes engraved on them from his pocket and loaded them into the magazine.

"Brother Hei, what's going on...?" Wu Xie asked in surprise.

"It's a Russian gadget, modified. It's filled with thermite and armor-piercing agents, with some 'added ingredients'."

Hei Xiazi chuckled, picked up the launcher, and aimed it at the monster that was chasing "Zhang Qiling" with its back wide open.

"Whether it works or not depends on this. Aning, Xiaojiang, hit its eyes and mouth to distract it!"

"clear!"

A Ning and Jiang Xun Gu immediately raised their guns, aimed at the monster's head, and pulled the trigger!

"Bang bang bang!"

The bullet struck the monster's keratinized head and face, scattering sparks. Although it did not cause any real damage, it successfully attracted the monster's attention.

It shook its head irritably, its movement pausing slightly.

It was that moment of stillness!

Hei Xiazi pulled the trigger.

"Thump!"

With a muffled thud, flames shot out from the tail of the launcher.

The dark red bullet, trailing a flame, shot towards the monster's back at a speed that was not too fast but unusually steady.

The dent that Zhang Qiling just hit, which hasn't fully healed yet!

The monster seemed to sense the danger and twisted its body sharply, trying to block with its thick arms.

But the bullet was already at him!

"puff!"

The bullet precisely pierced the shallow indentation and embedded itself in it!

A moment of silence.

immediately--

"boom!!!"

A dazzling, blazing white light suddenly exploded from the monster's back!

It wasn't an ordinary explosion, but a thermite flame burning intensely like a small sun. The temperature was extremely high, instantly sizzling and charring the keratin and flesh on the monster's back!

Amidst the firelight, there was also a strange, dark golden glint, which seemed to have an additional corrosive effect on the dark red tumor's energy.

"roar--!!!"

The monster let out its most mournful and painful scream since the start of the war!

The massive body was blasted forward several steps, its back a mess, the stench of burning flesh mixed with a sweet, fishy smell spreading out.

More importantly, the giant tumor on its chest suddenly contracted and expanded with this severe injury, its light flickering rapidly and uncertainly, as if it had been subjected to a tremendous shock.

"efficient!"

Fatty Wang slapped his thigh excitedly.

The live-streaming sphere was disrupted by a violent explosion and bright light, causing the image to shake violently for a few seconds before returning to normal. It happened to capture the horrifying scene of the monster roaring in pain, its back charred and smoking.

The screen was instantly flooded with comments like "Awesome!", "Blackie is mighty!", and "What kind of weapon is that?"

Zhang Qiling and "Zhang Qiling" had already retreated the moment Hei Xiazi fired his gun, avoiding the blast radius.

Seeing the monster injured, the two exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, pounced again!

This time, the goal is clear.

The giant tumor on the monster's chest, its light flickering and shimmering violently from the injury it had sustained!

The monster went berserk, ignoring the excruciating pain in its back, and wildly swung its claws at the two people rushing towards it.

At the same time, a large plume of grayish-black, fishy odor emanated from its mouth again, even stronger than before.

Zhang Qiling moved like smoke, weaving through the claw shadows and the stench, once again closing in on the monster's side and rear.

Zhang Qiling, on the other hand, drew the fire directly, his movements elusive, narrowly avoiding fatal claw attacks time and time again, creating opportunities for Zhang Qiling.

Just as the monster's claw missed its target, its body leaned slightly forward due to inertia.

Zhang Qiling came to life.

He shot in like an arrow, cutting into the monster from its blind spot.

His right hand had somehow found its grip on the black gold ancient sword that the monster had thrown to the ground, which belonged to "Zhang Qiling".

With the knife in hand, his demeanor changed drastically.

Instead of slashing, he gripped the knife with both hands, concentrating all his strength and spirit on the tip of the blade.

He thrust fiercely into the center of the monster's massive, throbbing, and chaotically glowing tumor on its chest!

This thrust was silent and stealthy, yet so fast that it defied visual perception.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
