21: Stone Golem, Forgotten Village

“Stardust Jellyfish”

Level: 30

Health: 8600

Physical Attack: 1200, Magic Damage: 3850

Defense: 600, Magic Resistance: 800

“Besides higher magic damage, its health and defense are greatly reduced. This should be easy.”

However.

How could he kill this type of monster in the sea of stars?

Lin Ye nocked an arrow and shot it.

Pop~!

The flaming arrow seemed to truly pierce the water, easily penetrating through, but after entering the spacetime torrent, the arrow vanished into thin air as if it had never appeared.

“As expected, it doesn’t work…”

Lin Ye didn’t give up, but observed.

This quest required patience, otherwise it truly couldn’t be done.

As the tide surged.

Lin Ye retreated all the way.

Until the sea of stars churned most violently, the crashing waves finally flung some Stardust Jellyfish out, smashing them onto the ground.

Lin Ye had waited for a long time, just for this opportunity.

Whoosh!

Another arrow shot out.

This time, it directly pierced through the entire Stardust Jellyfish, the arrowhead obliquely stuck in the solid ground.

And the Stardust Jellyfish, as if nothing had happened, slowly dragged its translucent body and crawled towards the tide.

“No damage?”

“Physical immunity?”

“But I’m not purely physical…”

Lin Ye checked the monster’s attributes again.

It had defense and magic resistance, which proved it took all types of damage…

Could it be that the timing of the attack was wrong?

In the spacetime torrent, he couldn’t hit it.

On the ground, he still couldn’t hit it.

Then there was only…

Lin Ye’s eyes flashed, remembering that when the jellyfish was flung out by the waves just now, for a moment, its body looked opaque.

“Only mid-air hits?”

Lin Ye drew his bow and nocked an arrow, concentrating, his gaze roving over the crest of the waves.

Bang!

A Stardust Jellyfish was flung out by a wave. In mid-air, its body appeared as an opaque, solid form.

The timing.

There was only that one instant.

Boom!

Three arrows clutched in Lin Ye’s hand suddenly left the string, flames tearing through the night sky.

Puff puff puff~

The arrows accurately hit the jellyfish while it was still airborne.

-4622

-4500

-4701

Mid-air hit successful!

Instant kill!

Lin Ye saw the materials dropped by the monster, but he wasn’t in a hurry to pick them up.

The tide had its time.

But in this chaotic land of spacetime fragments, he couldn’t really expect the tide to have a fixed frequency, nor could he expect that every tidal surge would bring these Stardust Jellyfish.

Kill them first!

Lin Ye seized the opportunity, accurately targeting every jellyfish flung out by the waves, precisely hitting them mid-air and hunting them down one by one.

But the quantity was too small.

The tide had to hit the broken rocks to possibly form sufficiently large waves.

Out of ten times, only one or two might throw out jellyfish.

With Lin Ye’s skill, not a single one was missed, yet he had only killed a dozen or so.

As the sounds of the sea of stars gradually quieted, the crashing waves ceased, and the Stardust Jellyfish disappeared with them.

Lin Ye seized the time as the tide receded, swiftly flashing forward to pick up the spoils.

【Ding~】

【You obtained Space Shard x1300】

【You obtained Stardust Coin Fragment x1300】

“That’s enough.”

Lin Ye had to conserve his arrows, otherwise he might truly not be able to get out.

Along the sea of stars.

He proceeded all the way towards the place where the starlight was brighter.

After more than ten minutes.

Ahead, a towering cliff blocked the vast sea of stars.

Circling to the front.

Lin Ye found a small path leading up the cliff.

At the same time.

To the left.

There was another path, surprisingly paved with Stardust Fragments, extending all the way to a distant hillside.

Looking closely.

There seemed to be a flicker of lamplight there.

“Someone?”

Lin Ye secretly clicked his tongue.

In this place, there were even NPCs?!

He decided to go take a look.

He followed the Stardust Path to its end.

It was a small village with walls built of stones, and it seemed to have only a few houses inside.

The gate was tightly shut.

By the roadside.

Two colossal stone statues stood, holding weapons that were hard to decipher; they looked like staves, but also a bit like muskets.

Lin Ye was about to go knock on the door.

Click, click!

The two colossal stone statues on either side suddenly moved.

Their previously closed eyes suddenly opened, bursting forth with brilliant starlight.

Retreat!

Lin Ye instantly flashed back over a hundred meters.

He investigated again.

【Colossal Stone Golem】

Level: 50

Health: 500000

Physical Attack: 3000, Magic Damage: 3000

Defense: 3000, Magic Resistance: 3000

“This powerful?”

Lin Ye couldn’t help but secretly click his tongue when he saw the attributes.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, just about to make a move.

He saw the left Colossal Stone Golem’s eyes suddenly change color, turning fiery red.

The next second.

The Golem raised the weapon in its hand and aimed.

Boom!

A scorching stream of flames instantly shot out.

Lin Ye’s pupils contracted, he instinctively dodged sideways, barely avoiding this deadly blow.

Terrifying!

The scorching flame stream was nearly three meters in diameter, and its speed was extremely fast.

Especially that alarming temperature.

Even just grazing past him made Lin Ye’s skin feel a burning sensation.

“If I hadn’t dodged just now, I’d probably be instantly killed…”

Lin Ye’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

No joke.

This Colossal Stone Golem was even more exaggerated than a Boss!

Its attributes were abnormal.

Its skills were even more…

Before Lin Ye could be shocked, the Colossal Stone Golem on the right also moved. As its eyes turned light blue, a stream of ice frost shot out from the weapon in its hand.

Thump, thump, thump!

Lin Ye continuously flashed back and retreated.

Relying on his movement speed of over 400 meters, he instantly widened the distance from the ice frost stream.

He looked up again.

Wherever the ice frost stream passed, everything was frozen solid, and a chilling aura slowly spread under the starlit night, making goosebumps rise all over Lin Ye’s body.

One fire, one ice.

Great!

The two Colossal Stone Golems, working together, were directly a 'Heaven of Ice and Fire'!

Lin Ye roughly estimated the distance.

“A 500-meter attack range, several times further than me, an Archer.”

“Truly abnormal!”

Lin Ye secretly gritted his teeth.

What was the process for this quest? Did he not get the key item?

Should he retreat first?

Lin Ye only had one life, and only one account; he truly didn’t plan to confront it head-on.

However…

There was no way back.

There were monsters on the Stardust Beach, but they were useless to him.

He couldn’t level up.

Nor did they drop equipment.

If he bypassed the village and encountered monsters further away, should he kill them or not?

Arrows, one less with each use.

If he killed monsters but they didn’t drop items, and he still couldn’t enter the village, then without supplies, he would be completely finished.

“I’ll risk it!”

Lin Ye still had over seven hundred arrows.

In terms of output.

He should be able to kill them.

But the premise was that he didn’t die.

Whoosh~

Lin Ye took a deep breath.

No supplies meant no retreat; dying early or late, it was still death.

Kill!

Lin Ye flashed forward, rushing, covering a hundred meters in a single step.

But the Colossal Stone Golem’s alert range was even wider.

Scorching flame stream.

Ice frost stream.

Both shot out simultaneously, forming a crossfire.

Precise!

Lin Ye’s speed was already so fast that only a Phantom remained, yet the Golems could still accurately track him and control their weapons to pursue.

Dodge, dodge, dodge!

Lin Ye unleashed his extreme speed.

In three steps, he reached within attack range.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, firing while moving.

Three arrows shot out simultaneously, directly hitting the chest of the Golem on the right.

-2850

-2911

-6200 Critical Hit!

Bang!

Elemental burst, flames exploded, dealing second-stage damage.

Lin Ye had no time to observe the effect; he had to constantly pay attention to avoiding danger while maintaining continuous shooting.

Fortunately.

His speed was fast enough.

Fortunately.

He still had Swift Action.

This not only allowed Lin Ye to control his speed, but also to dodge.

Bang, bang, bang!

Lin Ye’s shooting was non-stop; his attack speed of thirty times per second, at this moment, looked like nothing short of a metallic torrent!

In the blink of an eye.

The Colossal Stone Golem’s health bar plummeted.

Its health bar dropped by more than half.

Click~ Click, click~!

The Colossal Stone Golem retracted its attack, its weapon reassembling in its hand as if mechanical, while a strange azure light bloomed in its eyes.

Crackling lightning burst forth from the Golem’s torso.

“There’s even a second phase transformation?”

“Die!”

Lin Ye let out a low roar, maxing out his attack speed. Arrows turned into a torrent, instantly pulverizing it.

Extreme output.

Even if the opponent’s defense was abnormal, he could still burst out over 100,000 DPS in one second.

Without the interference of ice frost.

Lin Ye turned and shot the Flame Golem again, the pressure was much less, and he circled around in a breath.

Bang!

The Flame Golem then shattered into pieces under the rain of arrows.

【Ding~】

【You destroyed the guardian of the Forgotten Land.】

No reward yet?

What’s going on!

While Lin Ye was wondering.

A crisp voice suddenly burst out from the city wall.

“Oh no, it’s a mutated demon?!”
