Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

——(As expected, the Yak people are so easy to deceive, hehehe.)

Driggs couldn't hide the smile on his face. His goal had now been fully achieved.

10.175 - The looming truth

The vice president of the Plateau Hearthfire Guild, the yakman Woodcorn, deliberately let himself be blown into the air by the enemy's "Feather Tornado" skill, preparing to use the acceleration of free fall to deal a heavy blow to the stitched monster.

Before making this decision and taking action, Woodcorn had actually been aware of Driggs's schemes.

He knew that this sinister and cunning guy was planning to use his power.

However, Woodcorn knew it was a fire pit, but he still jumped in.

This was not because he had any special feelings towards Driggs, but because he looked at the overall situation and saw the relationship between the two sides as one that was mutually detrimental.

If Woodcorn abandoned Driggs, then their Plateau Hearth Guild could indeed run away directly, but this pleasant escape would definitely be short-lived, because Woodcorn had already seen that as long as the stitched monster exerted its full strength, Driggs would not be able to hold on for long.

By then, the situation would have evolved into one where Woodcorn had to face the stitched monster alone, and to be fair, Woodcorn didn't think he was any better than Driggs.

Therefore, Woodcorn believed that the only option that would allow the entire team to escape unscathed was to fight together with Driggs.

No matter how despicable this guy is, Woodcorn can only put aside the past for the time being.

——(Get up and work, Vulcano!)

Looking at the stitched monster below, Woodcorn, who was falling from the sky, injected magic power into the long-handled lava battle axe.

Unlike Driggs's flashy tactics that often explode into the sky, Woodcorn's style of play is as simple as a farmer cultivating a field.

"Chi! The molten material turns into rock!"

Woodcorn seized the opportunity when the stitched monster was on guard and chopped down the top of its head with a heavy axe!

"One cut of molten fire!"

The place where the axe cut was immediately burned red, and the hard permafrost layer could not withstand the high temperature and melted and cracked.

"Second cut into the rock!"

Then, Woodcorn swung down again, but this time he struck with the back of the axe.

When the back of the axe hit the melted area, something incredible happened. The melted permafrost armor on the stitched monster's head actually solidified into pitch-black stone.

"Chop into powder in three steps!"

Without giving the stitched monster a chance to react, Woodcorn swung down the third blow!

This time, he switched back to the axe blade and chopped accurately at the center of the petrified part.

As he swung the sword, a huge crack was first cut in the petrified part of the stitched monster's head, and then the entire petrified part shattered into powder and drifted into the air with the wind.

——(It worked?!)

Woodcorn was a little shocked. He didn't expect that his three-hit combo of "Melting Matter into Rock" could be performed so smoothly.

Generally speaking, this powerful combo will cause the enemy to struggle violently in pain just by the first hit.

And until now, this stitched monster is still continuing to dive-bomb Driggs on the ground as if nothing had happened.

——(Could it be that I failed to penetrate its armor?)

Woodcorn waved away the smoke and dust and looked at the wound he had caused. This sight made him finally understand what kind of monster he was fighting tonight.

·

What caught Woodcorn's eye was a pile of rotten brains.

His attack on the stitched monster's wolf head was not ineffective, but had successfully broken through the defense up to the brain level.

However, what is inside the wolf's head is not the brain that a living creature should have.

Woodcorn had dismantled countless monsters, but had never encountered a situation like today.

——(This guy, why is his brain rotten even though he’s still alive?!)

Besides being surprised, Woodcorn also wanted to investigate further what secrets were hidden in the body of this stitched monster.

However, at this time, the stitched monster finally stopped ignoring Woodcorn's existence. It first flipped in the air and tried to knock Woodcorn down.

After failing to succeed, he controlled the metal barbed tail of the "Ice Thorn White Tailed Scorpion" behind him to attack Woodcorn.

Although Woodcorn was able to dodge the situation temporarily, he also lost the time to conduct investigations and research.

In order to give himself a chance to think, he decided to invest more magic power here and bring Driggs on the ground back into the battle.

Woodcorn was furious to see that the man with the nickname "Explosion Flame" actually took the opportunity to slack off on the ground.

——(The power of the earth gathers within me...)

——(The Supreme Rock, immovable and unshakable...)

Woodcorn raised the "Long-Handled Lava Axe - Vulcano" high in the air, continuously accumulating strength into it.

When the time was ripe, Woodcorn let out a loud roar, and with his overwhelming strength and momentum, he smashed all this reckless energy down!

"Chi! Rock collapse!"

The long-handled lava battle axe smashed heavily on the top of the stitched monster wolf's head!

It is no exaggeration to say that this blow could have smashed the wolf's head!

In an instant, a huge force spread throughout the body of the stitched monster. According to Woodcorn's expectations, the stitched monster would lose a head and fall into a paralyzed state where it could not move for a short period of time.

However, the wolf head that stitched the monster together remained intact;

The stitched monster did not fall into any paralyzed state.

The only change Woodcorn could see was that the wolf's already broken skull was completely shattered by him this time.

——(No way? No reaction at all?!)

This time Woodcorn was truly shocked.

He wondered if this stitched monster had no sense of pain?

At this point, a guess about the stitched monster emerged in Woodcorn's mind.

He was about to verify his hypothesis further when the stitched monster suddenly dived to the ground. It seemed that it was tired of bombing Driggs and wanted to use ground combat to finish off this darting human.

At the same time, the metal barbed tail of the "Ice Thorn White Tailed Scorpion" that had been attacking Woodcorn also made a new move.

Since the repeated thrusting attacks could not break through Woodcorn's "Rock Body and Rock Skin" defense, it sacrificed the body of the "Diving Drilling Claw Snow Bear" and included "itself" in the attack range.

——(This preparatory move is... Hundred Ice Thorns?!)

Woodcorn saw through the skills the enemy was about to use in advance and quickly retreated from the attack range.

However, the metal barbed tail of the "Ice Thorn White Tailed Scorpion" still adjusted its attack direction according to his movements, generating one ice thorn after another, shooting towards Woodcorn continuously!

Unlike the ice blades of the Phantom Giant Ghost Bat, the number of these ice thorns is not so large as to be like rain, and the firepower coverage area is not that large.

However, in terms of the size of a single ice thorn, this move is much larger than the ice throwing knife, and as long as you are hit by the ice thorn or even scratched, there is a high probability that the injured part will be frozen.

Because Woodcorn knew the skills of the "Icethorn White Tailed Scorpion", he used the skill "Rock Guardian: Layered Mountains" in advance to generate a triple rock wall for defense.

However, it was precisely his understanding of the Icethorn White-Tailed Scorpion that harmed him...

10.176 - Failure

As far as Woodcorn knew, when the "Ice Thorn White Tail Scorpion" used the "Hundred Ice Thorns" skill, it could only stand still and could not move.

Therefore, as long as he has the protection of the rock wall created by "Rock Guard: Layers of Mountains", he can safely survive the next series of attacks from the opponent.

However, the "Icethorn White-tailed Scorpion" at this time was not the independent monster that Woodcorn knew, but a "part" that had been sewn onto a monster.

When the first few Hundred Ice Spikes hit the rock wall and broke, the Stitched Monster immediately twisted its body, allowing the metal barbed tail of the "Ice Spike White Tail Scorpion" to find a trajectory that bypassed the rock wall's obstruction.

Such a rapid movement completely caught Woodcorn off guard. When the icy thorns, as thick as tree trunks, attacked from his blind spot, he was only a beat late to dodge.

——(Rock body, rock skin!)

Even though Woodcorn had activated his self-defense skills, the sharp ice thorns still cut his arm.

To make matters worse, the unlucky Woodcorn was only hit by one ice thorn, and the injured part of his arm was immediately frozen.

"God of Fire, protect me...Burn, scorching robes!"

At this time, Driggs, who was full of heat, rushed to Woodcorn and immediately helped melt the ice on his arm so that his ability to move was not restricted.

The favor that Woodcorn had shown in saving Driggs in a critical moment was repaid so quickly.

"This guy is so tough, I can't find any weaknesses at all!" Driggs said as he distanced himself from Woodcorn.

In the few seconds it took for him to rush over to help, the stitched monster had already turned around and was ready to launch a new attack.

Woodcorn immediately understood Driggs' intention to separate the two groups and ran in the opposite direction, shouting out his immature guess.

"My Lord, I suspect this guy is actually a controlled corpse!"

Based on what he had just seen after attacking the "Crying Wolf on a Snowy Night", Woodcorn guessed that this stitched monster had no life at all.

Only dead creatures would be completely insensitive to injury and pain.

What Woodcorn didn't expect was that Driggs also agreed with this speculation, and even said that he thought so too!

"I just cut its femoral artery, and no blood came out! This thing might be a corpse powered by magic!"

Hearing Driggs say this, Woodcorn remembered that when he knocked open the top of Snowy Night Crying Wolf's head just now, he also did not see the blood splattering.

The two of them reached a consensus, confirming that what they were facing was not a monster in the conventional sense, but a puppet stitched together from a monster corpse, secretly controlled by "someone".

As for the difference in tactics between dealing with living and dead things, the experience of these two veteran soldiers shows a huge difference.

But even though Woodcorn and Driggs were getting pretty close to the truth, they still got one crucial point wrong.

The key point is that the stitched monster is not controlled by someone, but acts entirely on its own initiative.

·

"My Lord! I'll hold him back! You go find the controller!"

Woodcorn regained his spirits. He now felt that he saw the direction of victory and his whole body was filled with strength.

"Okay! It's up to you then!"

Driggs was not polite and simply left the most difficult task to Woodcorn. He turned around and evacuated to the periphery without hesitation to find the "controller" whose existence was unknown and might not exist.

At this point, the direction of the battle was exactly what Driggs had expected. All that was left was to wait until the Feiqi family cavalry withdrew far enough away, and then he could retire.

However, those who do evil will eventually perish.

This principle may not be accurate in other worlds, but at least in the Prison Star World, it is quite accurate.

Facing the deliberate ridicule of the yakman Woodcorn, the stitched monster first let out a wolf howl, as if it was successfully enraged, but in the next second, this guy suddenly activated the "Snow Bear Power" skill of the "Drilling Claw Snow Bear", greatly enhancing its own strength, and then used the "Sprint" skill of the "Ice Flame Winged Claw Leopard" to chase after the Feiqi family cavalry team in the distance with all his strength!

·

The giant ran wildly, and the earth shook!

At this moment, not only were Woodcorn and Driggs shocked, even the Feiqi family cavalry, which was two or three kilometers away, felt the danger coming.

Woodcorn chased it hard, but how could a mouse hold back a running cat?

Even if Driggs had all the strength in his heart, he couldn't use something like fire, which had no "substance", to stop the oncoming hill.

"Monster! Your opponent is here!"

"Akai! Flame Tiger Roar Fist!"

Driggs activated his skill, "Flying Flame Step: Walking with Flame," and flew in front of the stitched monster, then unleashed the most powerful move he could muster at the moment.

However, the stitched monster acted as if it didn't notice Driggs' existence and forcibly withstood his attacks. Even though its wolf head was burned black, it didn't hesitate at all.

Then, the stitched monster gathered some strength under its feet, and then jumped out with all its strength.

The four thick thighs from the "Ice Flame Winged Claw Leopard" allowed this huge guy to leap into the air easily. After flying in the air for a few seconds, it slammed heavily onto the location of the Feiqi family cavalry.

·

Yes, a hill weighing more than ten tons dealt a fatal blow to the Feiqi family's "assets".

·

The dull sound of the impact and the dust that was kicked up made the stitched monster's blow feel like a mountain pressing down on Driggs' heart.
