Chapter 43 - The Troublesome Giant Rock Monster
n
n
nThe Steel Fairy quickly flew back to the shelter and told Mcgee what had happened in the mine.
n
"A Giant Rock Monster appeared?
"
nHe was surprised.
"Let's go and have a look.
"
nWith a monster, there were both risks and opportunities.
nMcgee was now strong and powerful. He could even defeat a level-6 monster.
nIf he wanted to develop his skills further, he would have to kill more powerful monsters.
n
"Spirit Fox, Spider Queen, come with me.
"
nThen, he said to the Steel Fairy,
"Lead the way.
"
nThe Steel Fairy was still a little scared. She shook her head with fear in her eyes.
nMcgee comforted,
"Be good. With me here, no one can hurt you.
"
n
"Then... can I not go in later...
"
nMcgee could not help but laugh.
"What if there are more terrifying monsters outside?
"
n
"... I'd better follow you...
"
nThe Steel Fairy pouted, and her petite body landed on Mcgee's broad shoulders as if it was the only way for her to gain some sense of security.
nThen, she pointed in the direction of the Rift Valley.
"Master, you go that way first.
"
nMcgee nodded and arrived at the entrance of the mine under the guidance of the Steel Fairy.
nIt was quiet inside. Mcgee could hear not a single sound.
nHowever, Mcgee was not worried about Omori's safety. If something happened to him, the system would have notified him about Omori's death.
nPresumably, he was hiding in a dark corner and was safe for the time being.
nThe air in the mine was a little dry, and it smelled very uncomfortable.
nThe Queen of the Heavenly Eye Spiders had already brought her children out to act as scouts and began to explore the mine.
nThe Little Spirit Fox could not help but sneeze. Its nose was susceptible, and this dry feeling made it very uncomfortable.
nKa!
nAt this time, a soft sound was heard in the cave.
n
"Heavenly Eye Spiders, retreat away!
"
nMcgee noticed that something was wrong and immediately let called his beasts to return.
nHowever, the heavenly eye spider did not respond. Only the sound of fighting came from the darkness.
n
"They are fighting.
" The Steel Fairy could not help but fly up and hide behind Mcgee, pulling at his collar.
n
"Let's go over.
"
nMcgee was calm and took the lead to rush into the darkness. After a few seconds, he finally saw the Giant Rock Monster that the Steel Fairy mentioned.
nName: Giant Rock Monster
nLevel: 6
nAttributes: Ground, rock.
nSkills: Heavy Hammer, reassemble, stomp!
nHeavy Hammer: After the Giant Rock Monster charges up its strength for a short period of time, it will launch a berserk attack on its target! Attention! Its strength is mighty. Even the shell of a Black Turtle would be easily shattered by it!
nReassemble: The body of the Giant Rock Monster is made of rock. After it is shattered, it can reassemble itself.
nStomp: The Giant Rock Monster has powerful strength. When it stomps on the ground, it will create a shockwave, causing the nearby units to lose their balance.
nQuality: Bronze.
nPreference: Dry!
nAdvantage: Its strength far surpasses that of other beasts. Once it hits its target, it will cause a devastating blow.
nDisadvantage: Its speed is slow, and its accuracy is very low. Moreover, the ability to reassemble originates from the spherical necklace on its neck. As long the necklace is gone, it will forever lose the ability to revive.
nEvolution: None.
n...
n
"Come back, don't fight it head-on!
"
nMcgee instantly made a decision.
"Heavenly Eye Spiders, spit out the silk to control its four limbs! Little Spirit Fox, water ball restriction!
"
nLittle Spirit Fox condensed a huge water ball the moment he gave the order, and it immediately smashed toward the Giant Rock Monster.
nAfter the water ball exploded on its body, the spider silk followed closely behind, sticking to every part of the Giant Rock Monster's body.
nRoar!
nThe Giant Rock Monster let out an angry roar. Naturally, it was unwilling to be attacked by an intruder like this. It raised its leg, and it used its stomp skill.
nMcgee was already prepared to defend himself, but in the next moment...
nCrack crack crack!
nOne of the Giant Rock Monster's legs broke into several pieces.
n
"So that's how it is.
"
nMcgee was stunned at first, but he immediately understood.
nThe Giant Rock Monster liked to be dry because when it was dry, there would be enough friction between the rocks to maintain its human form.
nHowever, after being doused by the Little Spirit Fox's water ball and being pulled by the spider silk, it would naturally fall apart due to the reduced friction.
n
"Heavenly Eye Spiders!
" Mcgee shouted softly.
nThe Heavenly Eye Spider Queen immediately understood and pulled the other spider silk.
nImmediately, the other three limbs of the Giant Rock Monster also fell off. Its body had lost its support, and it fell to the ground, then it shattered into countless small pieces.
n
"Lord Mcgee!
"
nA cry of pleasant surprise came from the depths of the mine.
nOmori did not expect Mcgee to really take such a risk to come and save him.
nFor a moment, the hatred in his heart was reduced by a lot.
nHe quickly dusted off the dust on his body, stood up and ran to Mcgee's side. He looked at the silent Giant Rock Monster and could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He thanked him respectfully.
n
"Thank you, Lord Mcgee, for saving my life!
"
nMcgee's expression was still grim.
"Don't thank me yet. The monster is not dead yet.
"
n
"Huh?
"
nUnder his astonished gaze, the spherical necklace emitted a faint light. Countless rocks rose up at the same time, defying gravity, and rearranged themselves.
n
"This monster is tough to deal with!
"
n
