Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"send!"

A scream came from below.

It wasn't Chen Xi's, but Bibi Bird's.

Under Ryoma's air cannon, Pidgey was instantly reduced to a mangled mess.

Before dying, it instinctively let out a bird's cry, indicating some kind of unwillingness to accept its fate.

Chen Xi used a pole vault to barely avoid the attack.

Pole vaulting can evade lock-like abilities, allowing the lone bamboo pole to become its substitute, but the user must withstand damage exceeding the pole's maximum tolerance.

Unfortunately, Longma's air cannon lacked the ability to lock onto targets and also lacked wide-range destructive power, so Chen Xi avoided the attack unharmed.

But the matter is not over yet.

Tanu only acted on instinct, and when he saw Chen Xi avoid him, a hint of surprise flashed in Longma's eyes.

He was probably thinking to himself, "How could a mere Stage II superhuman dodge my shot?"

Immediately following, a second air cannon shot was fired, perfectly timed just as Chen Xi was about to land.

There's no escaping it this time!

Chen Xi hadn't expected Longma's combat intuition to be so sharp.

There is a prerequisite for pole vaulting: both feet must be on something, not suspended in the air.

This thing can be anything, but it cannot be Guzhu itself.

At this moment, Chen Xi was in an awkward situation, about to land.

An air cannon is an invisible but audible attack.

With his excellent memory and mathematical foundation, Chen Xi had already calculated the attack speed of the air cannon in his mind based on Longma's previous attack.

Whether this attack was a coincidence or Ryoma's calculations were truly precise is unknown.

In Chen Xi's mental calculations, this air cannon would hit him exactly 0.13 seconds before his toes touched the ground.

In other words, Chen Xi didn't have time to perform the pole vault!

"stop!"

But Chen Xi wasn't out of options; he hadn't entered this place casually, but rather after careful consideration.

Chen Xi stretched out his right hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he made an enforcement action like a robot traffic policeman stopping a car.

The invisible air cannon seemed to have been paused, frozen in time.

Sew it up!

Chen Xi activated the Frankenstein's extraordinary properties.

Under the power of stitching, Chen Xi can see energy, even invisible air cannons.

"go!"

After the second word was uttered, the air cannon, like a wriggling mass of air, pressed against Ryoma's belly, which resembled that of a woman in her tenth month of pregnancy.

Immediately following was a loud "bang"!

After Chen Xi stitched up the air cannon and Longma's belly, he deactivated his ability.

The air cannon exploded on the spot, and Ryoma was also startled by this sudden scene.

It makes a sound that is somewhat similar to "~~~~~".

"The sound contained the roar of a dragon..."

"So, this guy really is a descendant of a dragon?"

Chen Xi focused his mind.

The last line of defense, Tanu, was roughly what Chen Xi had guessed; it belonged to the category of divine beasts.

However, some conceptual creatures, such as the dragon horse, have never had a surviving depiction of what they are. Even if they have, they are all different and varied.

Unlike dragons, which have a uniform appearance.

The attack was successful, but the ending was somewhat unsuccessful.

Chen Xi's idea was to make the air cannon explode on Longma's bulging belly.

This would detonate the energy inside the opponent's stomach, thus achieving a chain attack that would "reap what you sow."

Unfortunately, the opponent was thick-skinned and tough, and although the attack injured Longma, it did not hit any vital organs.

However, at this point, they had thoroughly enraged the other party.

After a roar mixed with the sound of a dragon's cry, the dragon horse extracted all the energy from its belly.

His neck swelled up like a giant python devouring its prey, only in the opposite direction.

The python swallowed, he spit it out.

When the terrifying energy was extracted into the head, with a "splat," the "muzzle" used to release the air cannon cracked open.

It seems unable to withstand such a high level of destructive power all at once.

But at this moment, the instinct of anger took over Longma's mind, and in a fit of rage, he released all the energy he had accumulated in his stomach at Chen Xi in one breath.

In that instant, Chen Xi felt as if the sky had fallen.

This time, the air cannon is much stronger in both power and range than the previous two.

Although Chen Xi is currently on the ground, such a wide-range attack is something that even pole vaulting cannot avoid.

There's no other way.

Chen Xi's eyes lit up again in an instant!

Inferiority from inferiors!

In this final section before the Black Tower.

Any one of the Taurus would fit Chen Xi's goal of overthrowing his superiors!

Chen Xi felt a bit strained when sewing up that air cannon.

At this moment, Chen Xi knew without even thinking that the huge air cannon above his head couldn't be controlled directly by stitching.

Therefore, by directly initiating the Sleepless One's underdog victory, one can first gain a leading position in one's own stage progress before activating the power of stitching.

This time, Chen Xi's target is still Longma's belly.

The reason is simple.

Because Chen Xi not only has hyperthymesia, but also obsessive-compulsive disorder!

After a gentle application, as expected, a loud "boom" followed!

The explosion was so powerful that even Chen Xi, who was standing relatively close to Long Ma, couldn't withstand it and had to retreat repeatedly.

Fortunately, this time it was a success; Longma was blown open by Chen Xi's blast.

He died on the spot.

"The progress has increased, now it's around 85%, it seems these three hurdles are quite effective."

"It seems that if I'm lucky, I might not need to use Rising Dragon."

"If I can advance to Tier III here, I will give the Rising Dragon Hand to Yang Wei."

Chen Xi touched his chin and muttered to himself.

In terms of potential, Wang Sanjin is stronger.

However, he did not inspire the same level of trust from Chen Xi as Yang Wei and Yan Mingliang.

It's not that we won't help Wang Sanjin, but his priority is after Yang Wei and Yan Mingliang.

After resting for a while, Chen Xi regained his strength and continued on his way.

Three more hours passed.

With 16 hours remaining until the Black Tower.

Boom boom boom!

Another familiar tremor followed.

Chen Xi did not hesitate and tried to break through from the side again, but unfortunately, just like last time, he was locked on again.

"It seems I need to spot these monsters before they spot me, so I can avoid them."

"Unfortunately, I don't have that ability. Although figurines are versatile, they have strict distance limitations."

And so, Chen Xi chose to "sit and wait for death".

After the ground trembled, another large creature appeared.

This time, it wasn't Ryoma that appeared, but a huge dog of the same size.

The large dog resembles a Tibetan Mastiff, is about the height of a 30-story building, and has three heads.

This image immediately reminded Chen Xi of the name "Cerberus the Three-Headed Dog".

The three-headed hellhound stared fiercely at Chen Xi, but did not attack immediately. Instead, it tried to intimidate Chen Xi, wanting to see him in a state of shock.

"A wicked instinct."

Chen Xi made a comment.

Both times it was a gigantic monster.

This phenomenon caused a profound look to appear in Chen Xi's gaze as he stared at the three-headed hellhound:

"I see......"
