Chapter 134 Not Avoiding
Only after Zellier turned around to discuss it with his mentor, Lena, did Bev breathe a sigh of relief.

She released her hand from Yani's mouth.

"Beve, why do you always go along with him?" Yani finally spoke, looking quite indignant.

"It's just a small thing, nothing serious."

Bev pinched Yani's cheek. "Besides, isn't it good to accumulate more experience?"

"This is no small matter..."

Yanni looked at Zellier, who was walking away, with a resentful gaze, and then at Bev.

She wanted to say something, but in the end she could only sigh softly.

“Mentor Lena.” Zellier walked to her side.

"What's wrong, Zellir?" Lena looked at him.

"Instructor Lena, I'd like to ask you, can our fourth squad also handle the next giant rock golem?"

"We didn't expend much energy just now, and we still have plenty of energy," Zellier said.

Layton, who had been frowning at the impending battle, immediately chimed in after hearing Zellier's words.

“Yes, I think so too, Instructor Lena. Zellir has so much experience as an adventurer, let him do it, we can learn from him.”

Lena raised an eyebrow and looked at Layton with a half-smile.

She was well aware of Layton's inherent fear of battle, but she didn't make things too difficult for him.

Fine.

Let's give them some more time then.

“Alright… then Zelier, you can bring the fourth squad and come again.” Lena agreed to Zelier’s request.

"Thank you, Mentor Lena."

After resting, the team continued their journey.

As the army marched deeper into the region, the surrounding environment gradually underwent significant changes.

The air is getting drier and drier, and even the trees are becoming sparse and withered, replaced by large tracts of barren land with a reddish-brown hue.

The ground beneath our feet is dry and cracked, making a "crackling" sound when stepped on; it is sandstone completely unsuitable for plant growth.

All these signs indicate that they are entering the territory of the giant rock golem.

An invisible, heavy sense of oppression permeated the air.

After the group had been marching for another ten minutes or so on the cracked earth, Rivaya, who was at the very front, suddenly stopped.

He raised his fist, and the entire team fell silent instantly.

“They’re here,” Rivaya said in a low voice.

Everyone followed his gaze.

"Dong dong."

The sound of heavy footsteps gradually emerged.

A colossal object, resembling a small hill, slowly came into view.

It was a humanoid behemoth over five meters tall, its body made of rough, dark brown rock, covered with traces of wind erosion.

It has no facial features, but on its head are two dim yellow lights, like empty eyes, scanning this barren land without any emotion.

"Dong dong."

The muffled thuds grew louder and louder, and even the ground trembled with each heavy movement.

Sequence 45: Giant Rock Golem
Appearance features:

A humanoid creature composed of pure earth element. It typically stands between four and six meters tall and has a rugged appearance, resembling a miniature walking mountain.

Lifestyle habits:
The giant rock golem is highly destructive to the environment. The earth element emanating from its body constantly erodes the surrounding landscape, making the earth dry, cracked, and barren.

special power:

Its body, made of pure rock, gives it extremely strong physical defense; conventional sword strikes and arrow piercings are almost ineffective against it.

Furthermore, the Giant Rock Golem can summon earth minions to fight alongside it, and their large numbers make them extremely harassing.

Core weakness:

The giant rock golem has no weaknesses in its outer shell, but it has an energy core inside its chest. Destroying this core will instantly destroy the golem.

Association Notes:

Any team lacking strong damage output should not attempt to challenge the Giant Rock Golem. Before engaging this stone monster, ensure your team has a highly capable attacker.

When the giant rock golem noticed the group of humans not far away, it stopped in its tracks.

After a brief silence, an aura filled with pure malice erupted like a landslide and a tsunami!
Perhaps because it is made of stone, the giant rock golem has an extreme hatred for all flesh and blood life, especially humans.

"Roar!!!"

It let out a roar, then quickened its pace and charged menacingly toward the direction of the group!

The whole process was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

“Beve, Lant, Yani.”

Zellier calmly gave the order.

"Back off."

"Yes!"

The three of them did as instructed immediately.

They knew perfectly well that the magic they possessed was far from enough to deal with the giant rock golem, and that keeping it around would only be a burden.

Zellier continued.

“Marcus, don’t worry about me, just keep it occupied. Vales, attack the rock golem’s weak joints. Rivaia, you provide support.”

"understand!"

The group responded in unison and quickly entered battle formation.

Arcane Missiles are probably ineffective against large, solid stone structures like the Rock Golem.

The only way to overcome this challenge is with Cutting Water, which possesses extreme slashing properties.

In this situation, if Marcus keeps blocking the way, he will only restrict his own actions and be unable to perform well.

Why not just turn on the mist curtain and look for an opportunity on the side?

As for Gray
Zellier glanced at Gray.

"Gray, you'll be in charge of clearing out the earth monsters summoned by the Rock Golem."

"Alright!" Gray understood his role.

Unlike goblins, which are creatures of flesh and blood, the oppressive aspect of the rock golem lies in its ruthlessness and immense strength capable of crushing rocks.

The combat teams at the front were on high alert.

Layton's third group was also watching this scene with bated breath.

Lena, meanwhile, crossed her arms with great interest.

The giant rock golem is a completely different level of challenge from the goblin horde.

Zellir, how will you deal with it?

The distance between the two was closing, and the giant rock golem raised its thick, pillar-like arms, then slammed its fist into the ground.

"boom!!!"

The earth trembled violently, and a fan-shaped shockwave carrying countless fragments of rock swept in!

"Watch out!" Marcus shouted, raising his shield.

Gray immediately ducked and hid behind Marcus.

Rivaia and Vales reacted quickly, seeking cover to the side.

Only Zell stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding.

"boom!"

The shockwave, carrying flying sand and stones, roared in!

That was a rain of stones powerful enough to turn ordinary people into mincemeat.

But just as those sharp pebbles were about to hit Zelil, they were all deflected by a hazy shimmer, with only the wind lifting his hair and clothes.

Zellier raised his wand.

The light in Ye Ning's palm had already begun to shine.

A surge of magical power flowed and accumulated within it, and a sharp blue light began to quietly condense.

"Meet the enemy!"
