Mana: 250/300

By comparing the basic information of the two granite puppets, Jiang Ran noticed several things:

1. The level, age, and even all other stats of the two granite golems are exactly the same;

2. Although the two granite golems have no skills, their magic power is decreasing as they move;

3. Whenever the magic power decreases, the Granite Golem's endurance will increase accordingly;

The accumulation of these seemingly insignificant details allowed Jiang Ran to discover a possible way to defeat these two monsters.

3.27 - Unyielding in Desperate Situations (Update)

Although there was no substantial evidence, Jiang Ran felt that there was something "wrong" with these two monsters.

At the same place and at the same time, two monsters with exactly the same appearance and stats appeared. Jiang Ran found it hard to regard this as a coincidence.

Putting this aside, since the monsters in this world have the concept of tribes, and there are two granite puppet monsters here, how do these stone lumps reproduce?

Putting aside the issue of reproduction, assuming that stones can really give birth to stones, or through division or some other method, is the data "0 years old, level 36" reasonable?

Could it be that the cubs born by powerful monsters are more than level 1 at birth?

Jiang Ran put these questions aside for the time being, and the next few core doubts were the key points.

Jiang Ran still remembered the basic information of "The Living Dead Wolf". Wolf was only level 9 and his skill slot was 1/1.

Looking at himself and the cavalrymen and Wei'er around him, as long as they have mastered a combat profession, they all have at least one skill.

It is really hard to understand that this level 36 granite golem has no skills.

What's even more unbelievable is that, despite having no skills, the Granite Golem's magic power is continuously decreasing, while its endurance is continuously increasing...

It was hard for Jiang Ran not to think that the granite puppet was recovering its stamina by consuming magic power.

Stamina can be restored by simply taking a short breath. Logically, it shouldn't require consuming mana to restore it, unless...

(Except that Granite Golems cannot restore stamina by resting, they are not considered regular "creatures")

·

Eliminate all impossible options, and the remaining options, no matter how bizarre they seem, are the path to the truth.

Jiang Ran rode his horse back to the cavalry team and shouted loudly to tell everyone his conclusion.

"Captain Ryder! These two stone golems are most likely not monsters! They're summons!!"

However, after hearing Jiang Ran's words, Reidel and other soldiers were confused. They did not understand the concept of summoned creatures.

"They move by consuming mana! As long as we can hold them back until their mana runs out, we'll win!"

So, Jiang Ran changed the way he put it, and everyone understood it immediately.

Reidel didn't care how the hunter from Ella village knew so much. As long as there was a way, it would be a good way.

"Attention everyone! Halt the attack! Take turns attracting the enemy's action!"

Reidel immediately gave the order to use the kite-flying tactic. The cavalry had certain advantages over the granite puppets in terms of movement speed and flexibility. Even if the granite puppets rolled into a ball again, their mobility could not compare to that of the war horses.

In this open valley, Jiang Ran and the seven war horses of the cavalry were running in circles. The two stone puppets had all their strength but were unable to use it and were being toyed around by them.

·

Jiang Ran watched as the magic power of the two granite puppets was depleted bit by bit. Then, when the magic power returned to zero, their endurance consumption rate suddenly increased. Next, as long as they waited until their endurance returned to zero, Jiang Ran and his team would win!

(Sure enough, there's a problem. My mana is down to zero, but I'm not dizzy... The summon is confirmed.)

Jiang Ran was observing very carefully. If these two stones were really summoned creatures, it would mean that they would have to deal with the summoner behind the scenes... This was not good news.

The granite golems were still being chased all over the field by the cavalry, but just when everyone had gotten used to the easy style of play, something unexpected happened.

The blood-stained puppet grabbed the uninjured puppet and smashed it out at a terrifying speed.

The unharmed puppet turned into a giant cannonball and with a "bang", it instantly killed a cavalryman, leaving him bloody and unrecognizable.

Jiang Ran, who was able to see the status information of the granite puppet, saw something even more terrifying.

The magic power of the two granite puppets had clearly returned to zero, but somehow it was full again!

·

If Jiang Ran didn't know that this was not a game, he would definitely think that these two granite puppets were cheating.

The feeling of being lost in the ocean once again came over Jiang Ran.

“I, I quit!!”

The first soldier to collapse in the team was the one closest to the deceased. He urged his horse on and ran away without looking back.

Thanks to him, the morale of the army that Reidel had barely maintained collapsed in an instant.

"Help!"

"Don't chase me!"

"I don't want to die either!"

The soldiers fled in panic, and the original kite-flying formation no longer existed.

When Jiang Ran saw this scene, he knew that there was no hope of winning, so he immediately turned around to look for Ai'er, intending to take Ai'er and leave in the chaos, running as far as he could.

However, something even more desperate happened immediately afterwards.

On the north and south sides of the canyon, two granite golems appeared at some point, blocking the narrow escape route.

The fleeing soldiers were forced to turn back, and now the cavalry was surrounded by the granite puppets.

Looking at the identical stats of the four granite puppets, Jiang Ran was certain that these were definitely summoned creatures driven by magic, and the real controller was hiding behind the scenes directing everything.

The bloodstained puppet and the uninjured puppet suddenly became full of magic power just now, which must have been done by the mastermind behind the scenes.

·

Now, the road at the bottom of the valley is blocked, and climbing the cliff will make them sitting ducks. Jiang Ran and the cavalry are really doomed.

(Is there really no other solution?)

(No, there must be a way!)

Jiang Ran will never give up thinking until the moment of death.

After careful observation, Jiang Ran noticed that the unharmed puppet that was thrown like a cannonball had its vitality reduced by 300. This was the "friendly damage" caused by the puppets to each other!

If Jiang Ran could induce the puppets to continue using this attack and let them hurt each other, there would still be a chance to defeat them!

Unfortunately, the cavalry soldiers no longer had this calmness. They screamed and begged, each of them thinking about how to escape from the gaps in the puppet's defense line.

Even Captain Reidel is now only thinking about how to betray his own people and save himself.

"Everyone, charge north! Someone will definitely make it out!"

As Reidel spoke, he led the charge. Seeing this, the other soldiers immediately followed suit.

But how could the granite puppets just watch them escape?

The granite puppets used the same trick again, grabbing their companions and throwing them like cannonballs. With two consecutive loud "bang!" and "bang!", the Gude Town cavalry was all smashed into meat paste and completely wiped out.

·

Now, all four granite puppets turned around and looked at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran seemed to see four gods of death looking at him.

But even so, Jiang Ran's fighting spirit was still not extinguished.

Jiang Ran noticed that the two granite puppets that were thrown out like cannonballs collided with each other when they landed, each causing nearly 800 points of huge damage to the other!

Jiang Ran knew that his chance to survive was here.

At this time, Ai'er, who had been hiding in the dark, rode her horse and galloped to Jiang Ran's side.

"From the look in your eyes, I think there's still a way to turn defeat into victory?"

Ai'er looks very calm, worthy of being a murderer.

"It's unlikely that they can turn defeat into victory, but at least it won't be so easy for them to win."

Jiang Ran smiled. At this moment, he felt relieved.

3.28 - The Trap at the Bottom (Update)

"Aier, take Wei'er and run away. I'll be responsible for attracting the attention of these stone lumps."

Jiang Ran casually shot an arrow at the farthest granite puppet. As expected, it only caused 1 point of damage, and the arrow broke and could not be retrieved.

"Don't joke around, I won't let you do me a favor."

This time, Ai'er rejected Jiang Ran's proposal and was determined to fight to the death with Jiang Ran.

"Besides, Wei'er won't allow me to leave you alone and run away."

Then, Ai'er conveyed Wei'er's thoughts.

Jiang Ran was not surprised by Ai'er and Wei'er's reactions, but he felt guilty for his previous behavior that had let down these two good girls.

"Okay, so have you ever played dodgeball, Elle?"

"Dodgeball? What's that?"

"It's a game of dodging balls that are thrown at you."

Jiang Ran briefly explained his battle plan to Ai'er. The clever Ai'er understood his intention immediately and immediately began to coordinate with Jiang Ran to move and lure the monsters to the "right position".

When the granite puppets realized they could not catch up with the two men, they immediately began to prepare to use long-range attacks.

Now is the time for Jiang Ran's super-dimensional divine eye to display its new abilities.

"Ai'er, listen to my command. When I shout one, scatter immediately!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Ran and Ai'er rode their horses close to each other. He stared closely at the movements of the granite puppets, and the red light representing the intention to attack came as expected!

"three……"

"two……"

"one!"

Jiang Ran and Ai'er quickly dispersed, and then the two granite puppet shells collided with each other with a "bang!", and the flying stones made them both covered in dust.

Jiang Ran didn't care about that. He immediately turned back to check the vitality of the two granite puppets and found that both had suffered over 1000 damage! Very successful!

Ai'er turned around and saw the broken body of the granite puppet. She knew without Jiang Ran explaining it to her that this trick was indeed feasible!

However, this still does not change the fact that this is a strategy of licking blood on the edge of a knife. If they are even a second slower, Jiang Ran and Ai'er will be covered in blood on the spot.

The speed of the granite puppet shells is as fast as lightning. If it were not for the assistance of the super-dimensional divine eye, Jiang Ran would never dare to take this risk with Ai'er.

"El! Let's do it again!"

"it is good!"

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Jiang Ran and Ai'er followed suit and used this desperate strategy to make the granite puppets "kill each other" twice, successfully smashing the two granite puppets into rubble!

(Great, two killed!)

While we are happy, we also have troubles to face.

First of all, Jiang Ran did not receive any experience points. He didn't know whether it was because the enemies died in a fight and so it didn't count towards his experience, or whether the summoned creatures themselves had no experience points.

Secondly, there are only two granite golems left, so it is almost impossible to repeat the same trick.

Jiang Ran needs to find another way to resolve this dilemma.

"What should we do next? Carve these two stones one by one?"

Elle asked half-jokingly.

But she didn't realize that her question had actually revealed her changed opinion of Jiang Ran.

However, the situation is not easy enough to talk about love. Faced with two granite puppets chasing them relentlessly, if Ai'er and Jiang Ran run out of strength, they will die without a burial place.
