Chapter 86 Difficult Resistance
The people inside were unaware of Kasai's thoughts; the three of them were currently focused on dealing with the third intruder.
Sheng Tang was flicked away by a finger, and secretly clicked her tongue as she clutched her bleeding arm.
What the hell is this? The last invading toad was somewhat understandable, but how come this one has mutated?
She looked up at the giant monster in front of her, which was taller than a tree.
This monster was quite large, its dark mass obscuring a large part of the sky, and a single finger was about as thick as a tree trunk.
Looking to the right, Su Yang was also thrown over, crashing into a tree and cracking the trunk.
Right in the center of his vision, Qiao Yu, shrouded in red and black mist, was fighting a bloody battle with a giant, wielding a dagger.
Even from a distance, Sheng Tang could clearly see that Qiao Yu's body was almost stained red with blood.
Crackling sounds filled the air as sparks flew from the giant's skin, which was as hard as steel, yet it remained unmoved.
Those who know the truth would think Qiao Yu is fighting a monster, while those who don't would think he's swinging a hammer and forging iron.
No, this giant is not in the same league as the dwarves, nor is it the size of a toad. They are no match for the monster.
Thinking of this, Sheng Tang's eyes narrowed.
She wiped the crimson from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and took a flute out of her pocket.
The flute was entirely emerald green, with only three holes on its surface. Her lips touched the top hole, and as she pressed her finger, a deep yet impactful tone emerged from the hollow.
"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~"
Three short, rhythmic notes entered Qiao Yu's mind, who was at a disadvantage.
She shuddered, and a surge of heat suddenly welled up inside her.
The heat rose steadily in the abdomen, and soon traveled through the internal organs to the heart.
The heart beats slowly, providing energy to the blood. After this heat enters, the heart rate increases, and the adrenaline in the brain is boosted to its peak.
Qiao Yu, whose hands were sore and whose limbs were tired and aching from the shock, suddenly regained her strength.
The veins on my arm bulged inch by inch, as if a giant hand was forcibly injecting gas into my body from behind.
She quickly glanced back at Sheng Tang, whose face was deathly pale, and saw that she was still holding the flute and continuing to play. She instantly understood the source of her strength.
Qiao Yu quickly regained his balance, flapped his wings again, gripped the dagger, and charged forward.
The sound effects produced by the flute were very effective; having regained her strength, she felt herself enter a mysterious state.
She landed her foot on the giant monster's hand and, using her physical advantage, stabbed the monster.
At the same time, the giant's hand followed, but this time Qiao Yu could clearly see the movement of the hand, which quickly flew away the moment the palm wind landed on her body.
"boom--"
A severed arm was knocked off along with a large patch of skin, and dripping dark green pus, like concentrated sulfuric acid, quickly corroded the grove.
"roar!"
A sharp roar came from the giant monster's ripped throat, assaulting Qiao Yu's eardrums and also hitting Su Yang, who was about to step forward to help.
Su Yang was thrown back into the hive by the sound waves and only managed to steady herself by grabbing a tree branch at the door.
Sheng Tang wasn't much better off; she was almost blown away by the sound wave. She clung tightly to the stone bowl with both feet and hid behind it, continuing to play her tune.
This time, the tone wasn't directed at Qiao Yu, but at the giant.
The impact of the tone increased rapidly as the sound grew faster, and three ripples, like crescent moons, sliced open the giant's chest.
But the attack was no different from a tickle; the giant was knocked back a few steps but quickly regained his balance.
But that was enough. Qiao Yu charged forward a third time, took out some powder, smeared it on the knife, and plunged the dagger into the giant's throat.
Using all her strength, she finally managed to push most of the dagger inside.
"Pfft!"
The abscess on her neck was cut up, and the foul-smelling pus immediately enveloped Qiao Yu's arm.
She forced herself to endure the burning pain in her arm, released her body and fell downwards, letting the gravity of the fall carry her and the dagger down with her.
Persistence pays off; the Netherworld Dagger finally managed to slice through the giant's skin.
The yellowish-brown skin was peeled away layer by layer, revealing a withered, dark red, beating heart underneath.
The giant had no bones in its body; only countless pustules supported its movement.
Once the skin was cut open, the heart hidden in the shadows felt extremely uncomfortable, causing the pus to move and block in front of itself.
"Knock knock knock!"
The giant sensed something was wrong with his body and frantically patted his body with his remaining hand, searching for Joe's whereabouts.
Now the advantage of Qiao Yu's small size became apparent; the giant couldn't see her, and the giant hand couldn't find her either.
Qiao Yu slid down the giant's abdomen with the force of the movement, at which point the entire skin was cut in half.
She was able to see the dark red heart clearly, and also saw the pustules inside the giant's body surging wildly around the heart.
"It's the heart, its weakness is the heart!"
Qiao Yu shouted behind him, flapped his wings, let go, and climbed up.
As soon as the wings moved, the body uncontrollably tilted to one side, the heat inside the body suddenly disappeared, and the body returned to its previous state.
Qiao Yu hurriedly grabbed the giant's leg, "What happened!"
Sheng Tang weakly peeked out from behind the stone bowl, clutching the flute and supporting himself on the bowl as he tried to stand up. "Time's up. I only have one last chance."
Qiao Yu's brow twitched, and she immediately took out a thumb-sized ice cube from her pocket. Just as she was about to put the ice cube in her mouth, a dark shadow suddenly flashed above her head.
"let me."
Su Yang gathered all her strength and shot out of the hive like an arrow.
Her wings and limbs were neatly tucked behind her back, and a white stream of air appeared in front of her head.
She used a tree as a bow and herself as an arrow, piercing the sky shrouded by giants and striking a heart as hard as a rock.
In an instant, the giant's waving hand stopped.
The abscess stopped flowing, and dark green pus suddenly burst through the skin, dripping out of the body and freezing into ice cubes that fell onto the snow.
The black heart deflated, and Su Yang, who was buried inside it, was absorbed.
"Su Yu!!"
Qiao Yu and Sheng Tang trembled, and both cried out at the same time, their hearts leaping into their throats.
With their last bit of strength, they flew toward the giant's body, grabbed Su Yang who was stuck in the skin, and pulled her backward by dragging her legs.
The suction of the shriveled heart was no less than that of a plunger. It took the two of them a long time, kicking and shoving, before they finally managed to pull the giant out intact at the last moment before his body disappeared.
The two quickly led the people back to the hive. As soon as they landed, they used up the last bit of strength in their bodies. They couldn't flap their wings anymore and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
"Su Yu, are you alright?"
Catching her breath, Qiao Yu endured the soreness and crawled towards Su Yang on all fours.
Staring at her bloodless body, he didn't think twice before taking out an uneaten ice cube from his pocket and stuffing it into her mouth.
