84: Golden Stone Giant Lord
For these Big-Headed Dolls to die at the hands of Quan Wudi in such a manner could be considered avenging Jian Wuxie's backside.
The four continued forward and arrived in the next room, where they immediately saw three massive behemoths floating in the air, their undersides covered in spikes, flying along in a leisurely manner.
Beneath them were two giant Stone Giants that only moved up and down within grooves on the ground, emitting rumbling sounds.
Rather than Stone Giants, they looked more like some kind of artificial mechanism.
A Fei stepped forward, intending to deal with the mechanical Stone Giants on the ground first, but just as he approached, the massive mechanical Stone Giant began to move, and the giant stone hammer covered in spikes in its hand instantly smashed down towards A Fei.
A Fei quickly performed a Backstep, narrowly dodging the stone hammer; watching the spikes graze right in front of his face, he broke into a cold sweat on his back.
Xiao Hongyuan watched the Stone Giants floating in the air and said with some distress, "These things are flying too high; I can only barely hit them if I jump."
Xiao Hongyuan jumped up and activated the aerial combo skill, slashing twice at the Stone Giant, only to find it left behind two shallow wounds.
"This won't do, how long will this take to beat?" Xiao Hongyuan said after landing.
Just when she wasn't paying attention, that Stone Giant had already floated above her head, and its body began to emit a faint glow.
"Watch out!" Jian Wuxie quickly warned.
Xiao Hongyuan did not hesitate and quickly performed a Backstep to dodge; although her reaction was fast, she was still startled by the terrifying descent speed of the floating Stone Giant and was heavily struck by the spikes on its edge.
After that Stone Giant landed, it didn't wait for Jian Wuxie to step forward and attack; instead, it slowly rose up again and continued to float above their heads.
By this time, A Fei had already figured out the movement pattern of the mechanical Stone Giant, dodged its attack range, and rushed behind it, preparing to attack.
Yet he saw that behind the mechanical Stone Giant, there was actually a Big-Headed Doll hiding there.
To prevent himself from being ambushed by stone pillars like Jian Wuxie, he decided to deal with this Big-Headed Doll first.
A Fei's ruptured soul blade was now reinforced to +7, and its damage was quite respectable; combined with the special effects that triggered from time to time, he quickly killed that Big-Headed Doll.
The moment the Big-Headed Doll was killed, the familiar scene appeared again; those Stone Giants, whether they were the mechanical ones or the ones floating in the sky, all had their shells shatter and turned into blue, translucent Soul states, looking exactly the same.
After Jian Wuxie and the others killed them all, he asked, "A Fei, what's going on? Should we just ignore them and wait for them to collapse on their own after a while?"
A Fei shook his head and summarized, "They only collapsed after I killed that Big-Headed monster; if I'm not mistaken, as long as we kill the Big-Headed monster controlling these Stone Giants, they will collapse into their Soul state."
After hearing this, Jian Wuxie also recalled that it seemed like those Stone Giants only collapsed in the first room after he killed that Big-Headed monster.
"We'll know if we test it out in a bit," Xiao Hongyuan said.
The four entered the next room, directly ignored the Stone Giants blocking the front, and killed the Big-Headed monster in the back, discovering that as it died, those Stone Giants immediately collapsed.
After learning the principle, the four's speed of advance increased significantly, but along the way, they hadn't obtained a single so-called Stone Giant Heart.
Until they arrived in a new room, where besides one silver-white Stone Giant, the rest were all Big-Headed monsters.
Now that they had experience, as long as they kept moving, even if those Big-Headed monsters released their stone pillars, they couldn't hit them accurately.
After killing all the Big-Headed monsters, that Stone Giant didn't collapse; instead, it suddenly threw two rapidly spinning stone blades.
Those stone blades were extremely huge and directly hit Jian Wuxie, who was at the front.
Under the high-speed spinning stone blades, Jian Wuxie watched his HP drop rapidly, his expression immediately changed, and he wanted to dodge.
But the stone blades seemed to have a stun effect attached to them, and Jian Wuxie found that he couldn't control his body to move for a moment, forced to let the stone blades shred him.
After finally waiting for the stone blades to disappear, Jian Wuxie hurriedly cast Death Defiance to recover some HP, realizing he had almost been killed by just one stone blade, and couldn't help but feel some lingering fear.
A Fei had already released ghosts and gods to weaken the Stone Giant's defense, which made it much easier for Xiao Hongyuan and Quan Wudi to attack.
Quan Wudi said with some confusion, "That's strange, why can't I trigger my poison status?"
A Fei said helplessly, "This guy is essentially just a rock; have you ever seen a rock get poisoned?"
Jian Wuxie quickly ate some supplies to recover some HP and also joined the siege on the silver-white Stone Giant.
With the addition of Jian Wuxie's powerful attack power, this Stone Giant was quickly taken down by the four, crumbling into a pile of gravel and disappearing.
A bright red, heart-shaped stone fell to the ground.
Quan Wudi stepped forward, picked it up, examined it, and laughed, "The Stone Giant's Heart has finally been found."
"It seems we must kill them while they are still in their stone form to obtain the heart," Xiao Hongyuan reminded.
Knowing the method to obtain the heart, it was simple.
After the group passed through a few more rooms, the hearts were collected, and they arrived in the boss's room.
The moment they saw the boss, the Stone Giant King, all four of them opened their mouths in surprise, exclaiming in shock, "This boss is just too gorgeous."
They saw that the Stone Giant before them was entirely golden, its eyes were two huge rubies, and the most exaggerated part was its chest.
A huge ruby, at least as tall as a person, was embedded there, radiating a dazzling brilliance.
Just as the four were still admiring the magnificent appearance of the Stone Giant boss, the Golden Stone Golem also discovered them.
The Golden Stone Golem was still far away from the four, but it still raised its fists high and smashed them into the ground beneath it.
As this punch hit the ground, the Golden Stone Golem suddenly, like a mad bull, quickly crushed towards the four; as it moved, its fists kept smashing into the ground, producing a huge thumping sound.
Watching the Golden Stone Golem charge up at a speed that did not match its size, the four hurriedly dodged.
Every time the Golden Stone Golem smashed the ground, it would kick up a huge Shockwave; Quan Wudi was a little slow, so he was hit by the Shockwave, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.
Seeing an enemy fall to the ground, the Golden Stone Golem immediately stopped its charge, and its massive body shifted towards Quan Wudi.
A Fei quickly released ghosts and gods between Quan Wudi and the Golden Stone Golem.
