49: Where should this thing be aimed?

He expected a teacher or the dean to show up, but he never thought it would be his enemy—

Consultant!

Consultant wasn't surprised at all to see Zhang Chi and the others.

Although Zuo Dao has a loose tongue, he has hardly ever truly offended anyone.

Only trash like Zhang Chi and his group would use such despicable methods to trick him!

"Consultant, quickly..."

To save his life, Zhang Chi swallowed his pride and begged Consultant for help.

But the moment he opened his mouth, a sole of a shoe slapped across his face!

*Slap!*

"You bastard, looking for trouble, are you? Think you're hot stuff?"

Consultant didn't even look around. He angrily stomped his foot on Zhang Chi's face, cursing as he demanded, "Spill it, where is Zuo Dao?!"

Zhang Chi had a shoe print on his face, and nosebleed immediately streamed down as he blinked blankly.

Zuo Dao, dangling in mid-air, also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Consultant appear.

He quickly waved his hands and shouted loudly, "Brother, I'm here! Save me!"

Consultant heard Zuo Dao's energetic voice, calmed down, and turned to look ahead:

"Here I co— uh... Oh, holy shit!"

Consultant suddenly saw the huge, dark hand monster, cursed in fright, and turned tail and ran!

Zuo Dao, Zhang Chi, and the other four were momentarily stunned.

Even the gigantic hand monster tapped its fingers on the ground in confusion.

Meanwhile, Consultant had already run a considerable distance.

He snapped back to reality and stopped: "Wait a minute, I came here to save someone!"

Consultant quickly steadied the Slime on his head and turned to run back up the stairs.

The round trip didn't take long, and Consultant returned to the top floor of the Star Bell Tower.

Zuo Dao was still dangling and spinning in mid-air.

The four individuals, including Zhang Chi, were sprawled near the stairwell, staring blankly.

The strange, dark giant hand not far away lightly tapped the floor with its fingers, seemingly in contemplation... "Did you make this thing?!"

Consultant returned upstairs, fixed his gaze on the monster, and kicked Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi didn't dare dodge; he wished he could cling to Consultant's leg, constantly nodding and then frantically shaking his head while trembling.

Consultant kicked him again, sending Zhang Chi stumbling toward the monster. He immediately screamed in terror, "Save... Please, save me!"

The remaining three were also filled with terror, wishing they could crawl into the stairwell immediately.

Consultant knew Zhang Chi was responsible for this mess, but he didn't have time to mess around with him now. He said coldly, "Scram!"

Zhang Chi immediately scrambled toward the stairwell.

Consultant turned his attention to the other few people:

"What about you guys? Aren't you running?"

The others also snapped out of their daze, looking at Consultant with gratitude, and quickly said:

"Running, running, running, we're going now!"

"Thank you, big brother, for saving our lives!"

"We were wrong, we're leaving now!"

Saying this, the three people helped each other up from the floor and hurriedly followed Zhang Chi out.

Now, only Consultant, Zuo Dao, and the terrifying monster remained on the top floor of the Star Bell Tower.

"What the hell is this thing?"

"Brother, get me down first!"

Zuo Dao was still spinning in mid-air, frantically waving his arms and shouting at Consultant.

"I know, stop yelling!"

A blue light flashed, and famous sword moon shadow appeared in Consultant's hand.

Consultant clicked his tongue, used the Enchant ability, and integrated the Slime into the blade.

The Slime's attribute also changed from Poison to Lightning, and the blue blade was instantly covered in electrical light.

*Swish!*

Consultant swung his sword, and the Sword Qi, wrapped in electrical light, arrived instantly, cutting the ropes binding Zuo Dao in a flash.

Zuo Dao fell heavily to the ground, making intimate contact with the floor.

"Oh, holy crap! Brother, wait for me, I'll help you!"

He cursed, quickly untied the ropes despite the pain, took several bottles of medicine from his backpack on the floor, and without bothering to distinguish their effects, poured all the ones that looked similar into his mouth in one go.

Consultant watched, dumbfounded, and before he could speak, he saw Zuo Dao exhale deeply, his eyes flashing with sharp light, and his muscles unnaturally swelling.

"Here comes the power!"

He shouted, wildly tore off his shirt, and, bare-chested, quickly charged toward the giant hand.

Then he raised his fist and smashed it hard against the hand.

"Today, I'll show you what Pharmaceutical Arts can do..."

*Bang!*

The hand monster merely lifted one finger, bent it slightly, and then... the thick finger shot out like lightning!

In an instant, the air warped and fluctuated!

Zuo Dao didn't even have time to let out a cry of pain; his body was immediately sent flying backward, landing on the ground motionless.

"..."

This scene lasted only a few seconds. Consultant froze for a moment, then quickly ran toward Zuo Dao:

"Do you have rocks for brains? You dared to charge at that?"

Zuo Dao curled up on the ground, his body twitching continuously, and groaned painfully:

"Ugh... cough, cough, whoa... that hurts!"

Consultant saw that his life wasn't in danger and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, just lie there. I'll take over!"

Saying this, Consultant gripped his sword again, stood up, and turned to look at the massive hand monster.

He hadn't looked closely before, but after examining it for a while now, he realized that this hand monster was emitting a heavy Magic Power Aura.

What exactly is this thing?

To avoid suffering a hidden loss, Consultant didn't rush to attack, quietly using the system's Observation ability... [Monster Name: Unknown.]

[Level: Unknown.]

[Race: Unknown.]

[Personality: Chaotic Evil.]

[Introduction: None.]

[System Assessment: That is a hand.]

Consultant's mouth twitched a few times.

That's utter nonsense.

He cursed silently but didn't hesitate in his actions.

'Chaotic Evil' meant it definitely wasn't anything good.

Time to fight!

Consultant poured his magic power into famous sword moon shadow, while keeping his eyes fixed on the giant hand monster, observing it.

But his brows furrowed tighter and tighter until he couldn't help but complain:

"Damn it, where am I supposed to attack this thing?!"

In previous battles, Consultant would subconsciously follow common gaming knowledge and attack the monster's weak points.

After all, he knew the rules by heart: hit the head if it has one, hit the feet if it doesn't, if it's hairy it's weak to fire, if it's big it's weak to the door, and the principle of living under the crotch.

But the problem was... it was just a hand.

It had no head, no feet, no fur, and certainly no 'crotch' to speak of.

"Ah, forget it!"

Consultant couldn't find the giant hand's weakness after looking for a long time, cursed irritably, then took a step forward and swiftly drew his sword... "Crescent Moon Shadow!"

The blade left the sheath, abundant magic power burst forth from famous sword moon shadow, and the sword light, wrapped in the Slime's attached golden electrical current, flew out!

Crackling and popping, thunder rumbled!

The blue and gold Sword Qi arrived instantly!

But!

When the Sword Qi struck the huge hand, the sound produced was like that of a blunt object hitting something.

*Dong!*

It sounded like hitting a steel plate!

The giant hand merely shook slightly, completely unharmed.

Next, the giant hand's fingers crawled across the ground like spider legs, rushing rapidly toward Consultant!
