124: Chapter 124 Harvest: The Mask of the God of Taunt

"Roar—!"

The Earth-Shattering Golem let out a muffled roar, the sound echoing like thunder within the narrow mining hall.

Its pair of stone eyes, glowing with red light, locked onto Lin Fan as he sprinted towards it.

In its core directives, any intruder had to be smashed into a pulp.

Whoosh—!

That giant mace, capable of collapsing a building, descended from the sky with terrifying wind pressure.

The air seemed to be compressed by this strike, emitting an explosive sound.

"Brother Fan, dodge quickly!"

Xia Wanqiu screamed, green healing light already condensing in her hands, ready to save him at any moment.

The power of this strike was too terrifying; even a Level 6 Martial Saint wouldn't dare to take it head-on!

Murong Yan also had a grave expression, the flames on her horse-chopping saber flaring up as she wanted to rush up and help share the pressure.

"Don't move!"

"Leave this to me!"

Lin Fan roared, stopping the two young women who wanted to help.

This was a peak Level 5, or even near-Level 6, experience pack!

Whoever dared to steal his monster, he would get angry at them!

"Come on, baby!"

Lin Fan exerted force under his feet, and instead of dodging, he leaped high into the air, actively meeting the mace with his chest.

This posture. It was just like a moth flying into a flame. Or like a swallow returning to its nest. It was filled with the heroism of someone facing death without fear.

Boom—!!!

An earth-shattering loud noise.

The mace slammed solidly onto Lin Fan's body.

Lin Fan's whole body was like a cannonball, smashed fiercely into the ground.

Gravel splashed, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

A crater two meters deep appeared directly on the ground.

"Lin Fan!"

Murong Yan's heart tightened.

With such a terrifying attack, even an iron man would have been flattened, right?

The skeleton stood to the side, the ghost fire in its eyes dancing wildly, emitting a smug, strange laugh.

"Hehehe!"

"Arrogant brat!"

"This strike from the Earth-Shattering Golem weighs 100,000 catties and comes with high-frequency shock!"

"Even in my prime, I wouldn't have dared to take it head-on with my physical body!"

"Surely he's dead now?"

However. Its laughter hadn't even faded. From that deep pit, a hand suddenly reached out. Immediately after, Lin Fan's dirt-covered figure crawled out.

He patted the dirt off his body and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva (actually, it was from biting his tongue just now).

"Awesome!"

"That hit the spot!"

"This is the weight a man should bear!"

[Received heavy blunt weapon attack! Defense + 3000!]

[Received high-frequency shock attack! Shock Resistance + 1000!]

[Internal organs impacted! Internal Organ Strengthening + 50!]

[Detected that the host has suffered massive damage! God-level passive [Thorn Armor] operating at full capacity! Rebound damage 200%!]

Lin Fan twisted his neck; apart from feeling a bit of tightness in his chest, he was perfectly fine.

His Defense had long since exceeded ten thousand, plus various resistances and damage reduction passives.

This strike from the mace just gave him a slight sensation of pain.

But the damage that rebounded... Crack!

A crack suddenly appeared on the mace in the Golem's hand.

Immediately after, the crack spread rapidly. Clatter!

That giant mace, which looked indestructible, actually shattered a corner!

"Roar?"

The Golem tilted its head, looking at the weapon in its hand that was now missing a piece; its stone brain clearly couldn't process this logic.

I hit him. Why did my mace break?

The skeleton was also dumbfounded.

"This... is this damage reflection?"

"But this reflection ratio is too ridiculous?!"

"Are you a hedgehog spirit?!"

Lin Fan chuckled and beckoned to the Golem.

"Big guy, the quality of your mace isn't good."

"Did you buy it on Pinduoduo too?"

"Stop using weapons, just use your fists!"

"Fists hitting flesh is the only way to feel good!"

The Golem was enraged.

It threw away the broken weapon in its hand, swung its two stone fists—larger than millstones—and unleashed a flurry of chaotic hammer blows at Lin Fan.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Lin Fan was like a roly-poly toy, knocked swaying left and right, but he just wouldn't fall.

"Left hook! Nice!"

"That uppercut is interesting; it made my chin go numb!"

"Ouch, that 'Mount Tai Pressing Down' move is good, do it again!"

In the hall. The art style changed abruptly. What should have been a tense and exciting boss battle turned into one person's masochistic carnival.

While getting beaten up, Lin Fan didn't forget to guide the Golem's attack techniques.

"Use more force! Do you understand the concept of unifying the waist and horse stance?"

"Don't just hit the chest; hit the stomach a couple of times too, it helps with digestion!"

"Yes, that's right, that's the frequency, don't stop!"

A few minutes later. The Golem's movements became slower and slower.

Its two fists were already covered in cracks. The originally angular stone fists were now worn smooth, and stone debris was even falling off.

That was shattered by Lin Fan's body!

In contrast, Lin Fan was getting more energetic with every hit, his face glowing, and his aura was constantly climbing.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Cumulative damage received has met the target!]

[Defense Level increased to LV32!]

[Defense attribute greatly increased!]

[All Resistances + 10%!]

Leveled up!

Lin Fan felt a warm current surge through his body, and his physical strength skyrocketed once again.

He looked at the Golem that was about to fall apart, his eyes showing that he was still not satisfied.

"That's it? It's boring now?"

"Big guy, you're not good enough."

"I haven't even broken a sweat yet."

The Golem let out a mournful cry.

Its arms suddenly snapped off at the roots. With two loud bangs, they fell to the ground and shattered into rubble.

They were shaken off alive!

Having lost its arms, the Golem staggered back two steps, and the red light in its eyes quickly dimmed.

Finally. With a loud crash. Its massive body collapsed onto the ground, turning into a pile of waste stone.

The skeleton completely shut itself off.

It sat down on the ground, hugged its head with both hands, and questioned its ghostly existence.

It's over. It's all over.

Its traps, its torture devices, its strongest guardian. In front of this perverted brat, they were like they were made of paper.

Is this even a human? This is simply a humanoid divine weapon!

"Senior." Lin Fan walked up to the skeleton and asked with a sincere face.

"Are there any more?" "For example, some kind of self-destruct program?" "I don't mind, really."

The skeleton suddenly raised its head, the ghost fire in its eye sockets trembling.

"Get out!" "Get out of here!" "I don't have a junior like you!" "I'm not giving you my inheritance!" "You're just a monster!"

Its mentality collapsed. It wanted to find a successor, not an ancestor!

Lin Fan looked regretful.

"Don't be like that, Senior; even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still kindness."

"Look, I've cleared the level; according to the rules, shouldn't you give me the reward?"

He pointed to the comic book in the skeleton's arms and the open stone door behind it.

The skeleton was silent for a long time. Finally, it let out a long sigh.

"Forget it." "Perhaps this is destiny."

"I have pursued the ultimate Defense my whole life, but I never expected that someone could actually achieve this step."

"Although your path is a bit wild... you are indeed tough enough."

It tremblingly handed the book "Self-Cultivation of a Masochist" to Lin Fan.

"Take it." "This is my life's work." "It records a god-level passive skill — [Mask of the God of Taunt]."
