Life Dungeon Game

Losing its target, the bitter ape plunged headlong into the forest behind He Ao. Its immense strength caused it to flatten huge trees as if trampling grass, and finally crashed into a cliff, cracking it before coming to a stop.

"Ahem..."

He coughed twice, covering his mouth, and bright red blood fell into his palm.

He managed to dodge these attacks almost entirely by enduring the pain and engaging in strenuous activity while directly pulling on his wounds.

Prolonged blood loss and wound pain made his body increasingly weak.

He could certainly endure the pain, but his body seemed unable to withstand these injuries for much longer.

Super Memory is still building the battle model of the Bitter Ape. In the recent exchange, He Ao brushed past the Bitter Ape at close range and carefully observed its body.

From the perspective of hyperthymesia, an even worse problem is exposed.

Deep within the gaping wound of the ape, the torn muscles were coalescing and rapidly healing.

This monster becomes stronger the lower its health is, and it also has the ability to continuously regenerate health.

This means that a protracted, kite-flying strategy is essentially impossible to use to defeat the bitter ape.

If left untreated, the ape's injuries would heal naturally.

While He Ao was pondering, the bitter ape attacked again. He gripped the curved blade in reverse and rolled away from the original area once more.

However, it is clear that this roll has become much more difficult.

The bitter ape seemed to notice that He Ao's movements had slowed down, and launched an even more ferocious attack.

This time, He Ao no longer avoided it, but instead advanced.

In order to retreat, they met the attack of the bitter ape.

Although the Bitter Ape was powerful, Ronald's already high agility was further enhanced by the Hyper Memory, making it virtually impossible for the Bitter Ape to touch Heo.

The battle briefly reached a stalemate.

During the battle, He Ao would also inflict some damage on the Bitter Ape to prevent its injuries from healing completely as the fight progressed.

Some of these injuries were on the chest, some on the legs, and some on the arms, but none of them were serious. Sometimes, the bitter ape would even deliberately not defend himself, trying to exchange injuries with He Ao.

However, when faced with a situation where injury would be exchanged for injury, He Ao would basically give up directly instead of forcing it, as his body could not withstand another violent impact.

As time passed, the bitter ape's body became covered with tiny wounds. Even its neck, which the bitter ape had been heavily guarding, was marked with a shallow scar by He Ao.

However, the neck seems to recover much better than other parts of the body. Almost immediately after He Ao applied the ointment, the flesh under the ointment began to heal, and there was even a faint tendency for it to be completely healed.

As the battle progressed, He Ao's physical condition deteriorated, and he even had to exert more effort to breathe. He could clearly feel the exhaustion emanating from his severely injured body.

But he also got what he wanted.

From the perspective of super memory, all the changes in the ape's body are revealed. He Ao gradually grasped the recovery limits of different parts of the ape's body, as well as the relationship between the damage suffered and the overall increase in strength.

Although injuries to any part of the body will improve the overall strength of the Bitter Ape, there are still considerable differences when broken down to different parts.

The growth of power is not entirely equal.

For example, injuries to the limbs will first increase the strength of the injured limbs, injuries to the torso will evenly increase the overall strength, and injuries to the head and neck will increase reaction speed and agility.

With this data in hand, He Ao's combat model of the Bitter Ape became more and more complete.

But as time went by, his physical condition deteriorated, and he seemed to be gradually losing control of his body, which seemed to be unable to keep up with the speed of his brain's reaction.

On the battlefield, any delay can have fatal consequences.

Taking advantage of He Ao's momentary lapse in reaction, the bitter ape struck He Ao on the back as He Ao turned to attack, sending him flying.

boom--

The blood-soaked man fell into the estuary where the stream meets the sand, splashing water everywhere.

He tried to get up with difficulty, but the hand he was using to support himself in the stream suddenly slipped away, causing him to fall back into the mud.

At this moment, the bitter ape finally saw hope of ending this annoying battle. It roared and charged towards Heo, who was still struggling to get up.

This small creature, though weak, is incredibly difficult to deal with; it seems impossible to kill, and it has already exhausted all of its patience.

However, after taking only a few steps forward, it felt its feet sink into the sand; the 'sand' beneath its feet was 'crushed' by its weight, revealing the deep...

A trap approximately two meters long.

The ape immediately jumped up, trying to struggle out of the relatively 'mini' trap for it, but its legs were still scratched by the hard limbs that protruded from the trap.

The trap contains the legs of a spider-like creature, exceptionally strong and sharp, which Ronald set up here to hunt small creatures.

The trap only held the bitter ape for a fleeting moment before it broke free. As soon as it escaped, it saw a person covered in blood standing up opposite it, with their back to it.

It felt it had been greatly humiliated.

This weakling actually toyed with it!

Blood tinged with a yellow glow oozed from the wounds on its legs, and powerful energy surged forth. It stomped its feet into the ground and then charged towards He Ao, who had stood up in front of it.

The immense force gave it tremendous acceleration, and its speed increased faster and faster.

However, at that very moment, He Ao suddenly turned around, his silver scimitar flashing past in the moonlight.

The ape felt its speed suddenly increase, as if something heavy was being peeled off its body.

The head, covered in snow-white fur, landed on the beach, rolled a few times, and saw the scene behind it.

It was the corpse of a huge, headless ape. It ran a few steps forward and fell to the ground.

What was stripped away was the 'body'.

······

Until the giant ape's body fell to the ground with a thud.

He Ao, who had been maintaining the swinging motion, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, his body went limp, and he staggered forward.

The scimitar in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

That was indeed a trap, but the core of the trap wasn't in the two-meter-deep pit, but under He Ao's feet.

The two latches came undone naturally, and He Ao, having lost his support, collapsed to his knees.

Beneath his feet was a metal platform, deeply embedded in the earth. Ronald had originally intended to use this platform to place bait or to tether some strange beasts.

But now He Ao has used it to bind himself.

The principle behind this 'trap' that kills the ape is actually quite simple.

He used the small trap to injure the bitter ape's legs, strengthening them, and then fixed himself to the metal platform. Using the data from the Hypermemory Combat Model, he swung his scimitar at the right place and the right time.

The blade struck the bitter ape's neck squarely.

Driven by the ape's own powerful inertia, the sharp blade sliced ​​through its neck and severed its head.

It wasn't Heo that killed it, but Heo itself.

As the one wielding the knife, He Ao also endured the powerful impact in order to stabilize his body.

He withstood the impact.

The price he paid for this impact was that the bones in both his legs were completely shattered, his right hand, which was holding the knife, hung limply, unable to control itself except for the intense pain, and only his left hand could still move with difficulty.

He reached his only intact left hand into a hidden compartment deep inside his clothes and pulled out a silver test tube.

Moonlight shone on the beautiful test tube, and the fiery red liquid rippled within it.

He Ao bit the cork of the test tube with his teeth, gripped the test tube, and pulled down to remove the cork from the test tube.

Then he spat out the cork and slowly raised the test tube in his hand.

The bright moonlight shone through the silver test tube, casting red ripples onto Heo's blood-stained cheeks.

He slowly picked up the test tube and drank the liquid inside in one gulp.

Chapter 281 'Background Sounds' (Long Chapter, Please Add to Favorites, Subscribe, and Request Monthly Subscriptions)

Unlike the intensely corrosive sensation of taking the secret medicine obtained through the mercenary route, as the red reagent flowed into his mouth, He Ao felt as if he had forcibly swallowed a piece of red-hot coal.

An intense burning sensation instantly filled his mouth and flowed down his esophagus into his stomach.

Immediately afterwards, the burning sensation passed through the walls of the stomach and intestines without hindrance, spreading to the internal organs and even the limbs.

At that moment, He Ao felt countless tiny, blazing flames burning every inch of his body, scorching his skin and flesh.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous 'flame' traveled upwards along the flowing blood and seeped into Heo's head.

A violent, burning sensation, a result of the combined effects of matter and spirit, erupted instantly.

It felt like someone was rolling a red-hot iron rod around on Heo's brain.

The pain was so intense that it far exceeded the physical pain that had accumulated until now.

Heo's spirit could still endure the pain, but Ronald's body briefly lost control under the influence of the pain, his whole body tensed up, and he curled up on the riverbank.

Steam rose from his flushed body.

As the burning continued, He Ao also noticed some 'changes' happening in his body.

These scorching energies both burn the flesh and blood and simultaneously merge into it.

However, unlike He Ao's previous promotions to 'mercenary' where the body was strengthened as energy flowed into it, this time, although the scorching energy was also increasing the body's strength, it was not an improvement on the original basis.

It's like opening up a new 'point of improvement' and continuing to improve.

He Ao, who had been practicing martial arts, could clearly sense that this new 'point of improvement' was not within the original human structure.

Although the power of the secret medicines in the D-rank and earlier talent sequences is different from the two energies of heaven and earth required for martial arts cultivation, the essence of enhancing power is also to integrate energy into the original body structure in order to enhance a person's physical qualities.

However, once you reach Level D, the body's original energy capacity is already nearing its limit, and it can no longer accept new energy.
