44: The terrifying stitches
As expected, this Fallen Three-Headed Monster was indeed a stitch-monster.
From the looks of it, Evil King No. 8 has already been born and is currently practicing on Third-level Beasts.
Furthermore, this Fallen Three-Headed Monster is almost identical to what Chu Chongsheng described before his death.
This indicates that Chu Chongsheng not only entered the inner perimeter but likely encountered something else that brought about his ultimate doom.
What Chen Fei found even more incredible were the attributes after the stitching.
Setting aside the fact that its Aptitude was forcibly raised from A-grade to S-grade, it even possessed six elemental attributes and triple the Spiritual Qi.
It even had five additional skills on top of its innate ones.
This was too terrifying!
It gave Chen Fei the feeling of encountering a Boss monster while grinding maps in a game.
This was only a Third-level Beast; it was impossible to imagine how perverse a stitched Fourth-level Beast, or even a King-level Beast, would be.
No wonder in his previous life, the Ten Evil Kings alone were enough to suppress humanity until they couldn't breathe.
Indeed, each one was more terrifying than the last!
“Roar~~~”
Several lion roars descended from high in the sky.
This was the first wave of attack from the Fallen Three-Headed Monster, the [Sonic Intimidation] used by the central lion head!
This skill can intimidate creatures of equal or lower strength, causing negative states such as fear and sluggish thinking.
Xu Kui and Wang Zhi, being the strongest in the two teams, were the least affected and immediately let out a loud shout:
“Wake up, everyone! Don't let this lion's roar scare you.”
Subsequently, Wang Zhi had his beast pet use [Sonic Barrier] to first eliminate the sonic interference on their own people.
However!
They had still underestimated this Fallen Three-Headed Monster.
The sonic attack was merely a small probe; it still had many more Moves it hadn't used.
A circle of purple light emerged around the Fallen Three-Headed Monster's body.
Xu Kui recognized it at a glance and couldn't help but be shocked: “Not good, it's an amplification-type skill. The next wave is likely an ultimate Move. Raise shields, fast!”
Yet the next scene almost made Xu Kui's eyes pop out of his head.
A second purple halo appeared around the Fallen Three-Headed Monster.
“Double amplification?”
“Fuck, what the hell is this thing? How can it be so terrifying?”
“Quick, quick, quick! Use skills to interrupt that monster's buildup!”
Red, blue, white, purple... skills of all colors smashed toward the Fallen Three-Headed Monster, only for a Wind Shield to appear around it.
To everyone's dismay, a single Wind Shield blocked all their attacks.
This meant that after the double amplification, this monster's strength was already infinitely close to that of a Fourth-level Yao General.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to block so many skills with just one Wind Shield.
“Retreat!”
Xu Kui and Wang Zhi were very unwilling, but besides the Fallen Three-Headed Monster, there was also an Earth-Splitting Demon Worm lurking in the shadows.
If they didn't leave now, they might not be able to leave later.
However, the Fallen Three-Headed Monster had no intention of giving them a chance.
Enhanced [Sonic Intimidation]!
Enhanced [Whirlwind Strangling]!
Enhanced [Poison Mist Filling the Sky]!
Enhanced [Rain of Golden Arrows]!
Four consecutive enhanced killing Moves came at them, causing Xu Kui and the others to turn pale with fright.
“Fuck, isn't this too perverse?”
“Wait, is its Spiritual Qi really this abundant?”
Xu Kui and the others didn't know that the Fallen Three-Headed Monster possessed triple Spiritual Qi; otherwise, the very second they saw it, they would have definitely chosen to run for their lives.
Looking at the wide-range poison and the incoming rain of arrows, escaping was impossible; it would only leave their backs exposed to the enemy.
“Raise shields!”
Left with no choice, they could only opt for the most helpless way to face the attack.
Chen Fei knew it was no longer time to be a bystander and quickly ordered Chi Yu and Little Gu to help.
He himself stopped speaking, wanting to see the results of their recent training.
Chi Yu's vertical pupils split into a slit, then glared at the Fallen Three-Headed Monster.
First, a [Mirror Flower Water Moon] was sent over; regardless of whether it could interrupt the monster's skill casting, it would at least cause it to have a Divided Soul for a moment.
Little Gu directed a thousand Little Gus to use the first wave of [Silver Thread Entanglement] against the Fallen Three-Headed Monster in the sky.
As they approached, the spider webs were instantly quadrupled in size through gigantification.
The two skills did indeed cause the Fallen Three-Headed Monster to lose focus for a split second.
But unfortunately, the Fallen Three-Headed Monster's strength far exceeded Chi Yu's; [Mirror Flower Water Moon] couldn't even buy 0.1 seconds.
And the spider webs were all violently torn apart by the [Wind Barrier].
Despite the gigantification effect, the process of the webs spraying upward naturally weakened their attack power significantly.
Coupled with the 8-rank difference, the toughness of the webs was simply not enough.
Neither attack achieved a Major Achievement, but they did test some of the Fallen Three-Headed Monster's depth.
This scene naturally did not escape the notice of Xu Kui and the others.
“I don't know which senior is present, but please lend us a hand to interrupt that monster's skill casting. There will be a heavy reward!”
Now was not the time to be stubborn; an existence capable of controlling so many spider webs was definitely no ordinary person.
Chen Fei intentionally replied in a raspy voice: “I can only buy you one second at most. The rest will depend on your own ability!”
Xu Kui was overjoyed; one second was enough to do many things.
“Many thanks! We are from the Reconnaissance Department, Teams 21 and 25. You can come find us then!”
Xu Kui left his information to show his sincerity.
Chen Fei didn't speak again but looked at Chi Yu and Little Gu: “One second, can you manage it?”
Little Gu jumped onto Chi Yu's head and patted its chest: “Absolutely!”
Chi Yu gave a look of disdain; if it weren't a critical moment, it would have definitely bucked Little Gu off.
Chen Fei thought for a moment and said, “By the way, Chi Yu, share your vision with me!”
Encountering a stitch-monster for the first time, Chen Fei was quite curious about it. What would the Soul of such a bizarre existence look like?
“Minions, use as many illusion-type and Soul-type skills as you have.”
Among the Yao Beasts controlled by Little Gu, there were naturally these two types of eerie skills.
However, their numbers were quite scarce, totaling only seven.
This showed just how rare these two types of Yao Beasts were.
But seven was enough; they were only a feint, intended only to cause a certain amount of interference to the Fallen Three-Headed Monster.
Even if the interference time of each skill was less than 0.1 seconds.
Following up was Chi Yu's [Soul Stripping].
Crossing 8 ranks was exactly Chi Yu's upper limit.
The patterns on Chi Yu's horn began to glow.
This ethereal shimmer enveloped the Fallen Three-Headed Monster, forcibly stripping its Soul out.
Different from ordinary Yao Beasts, the Fallen Three-Headed Monster had six Souls, though each Soul was quite weak and not as solid as a normal Yao Beast's.
Chen Fei hadn't expected to stumble upon the Fallen Three-Headed Monster's weakness by accident.
But thinking about it, it wasn't surprising!
Stitching six kinds of Yao Beasts together and forcibly increasing their Aptitude would certainly cause some damage.
To gain something means to lose something else.
Without needing Chen Fei's orders, after using [Soul Stripping], Chi Yu utilized [Soul Cutting] to attack the central lion Soul of the Fallen Three-Headed Monster.
Chen Fei also stared intently...
