Perhaps the best approach would be to target his legs.
After all, it seems there's no way to defeat this guy right now, because his cloak is just too sturdy.
All we can do now is find his weaknesses and attack his weakest points.
Otherwise, it would all be in vain.
I immediately greeted Lei Jijian.
Before the fat man could react, I shifted my feet and circled around to his side, aiming at the gap on the outside of his thigh, and slashed straight down with the lightning sword!
Then, this time the blade encountered no resistance and cut straight into his thigh.
*Snap!* A crisp sound.
I saw a bunch of bugs emerge from that crevice!
A large piece of insect armor, along with the fabric, fell off, and black blood, mixed with several live insects, gushed out.
The fat man yelled, and this time he was in an even more miserable state than before, staggering and falling to the side.
I noticed that the shield formed by his cloak also swayed slightly, revealing more flaws in the lower half of his body.
His steps were unsteady, and the energy connection he had just established came to an abrupt halt.
I was secretly delighted. Good, this guy really only cares about the beginning and not the end!
Just as they were about to press their advantage, the person in the mural suddenly became even more anxious.
Several people even started banging their heads against the wall of the mural, leaving no mark, but it made me very uneasy.
These people were clearly afraid that I would break through the fat man's defenses and then we would just walk into that gap.
At this moment, they may not yet be able to detach themselves from this mural.
Otherwise, the people in the murals might be the ones who most want the fat man to die.
As I thought about it, I pretty much understood that these guys were still waiting for an opportunity.
Waiting for the fat man to become completely weak.
It now appears that the fat man has absorbed most of the energy from the ancients.
So even if we briefly defeated him, those guys still couldn't get out of the mural.
They were afraid I would ruin their last chance!
At that moment, I tried my best to calm myself down.
If I waver even slightly in the face of these guys' mental attacks, I might not be able to stand firm.
At the same time, I shouted loudly to let the girl calm down as much as possible. At this point, it's all about who has a more stable foundation!
Just as we were panicking, the fat man suddenly punched me.
I felt that the power didn't belong to him at all.
His punch was powerful and heavy, even pushing me back two or three meters.
That feeling made me start to wonder what kind of power this guy had seized, because he was completely different from the state he was in just now!
After all, we just chopped his thigh, and blood was gushing out. It's obvious he can't throw another punch in a short time!
I staggered back two steps, and the Thunderstrike Sword was drawn. At this moment, I even felt that my hand holding the Thunderstrike Sword was a little numb.
But I didn't dare stop. After he slashed the bug on the outside of the guy's thigh, the fat man's defense had a gap. I had to finish him off before he could react.
I suspect that what he just did was just a conditioned reflex.
For example, he has already absorbed the energy from the ancients, which is why he would use it on me at this time.
In other words, this might not have been something he intended to do at all. Rather, it was because the energy from the ancients had been accumulating in his body for too long and had expanded too much, which led him to make this most instinctive action.
I took a deep breath, then stepped back, quickly spoke to Lei Jijian in my mind, and prepared to make my move.
"Master, this guy seems to be going berserk. Are we sure we still want to make a move?"
I'm afraid that if I try to cut in again, I won't be able to damage him at all, and we'll both get hurt instead!
The concern expressed by the lightning strike and the sword pointing at him is not without merit, but we can't just let this fat man continue absorbing energy. After all, he just absorbed some of the energy from the ancient remains, and this is what happened to him.
Just from that one moment, I immediately felt that this thing was incredibly powerful.
If this guy really absorbs all the energy from the ancients, I don't know how far he'll go!
Next, I did offer some words of comfort to Lei Jijian.
After all, with his cowardice, we have no chance of achieving our goal.
At this point, all we could do was charge forward. No matter how hard this guy's body was, it was only a matter of time for us. Once we filled him with energy, he probably wouldn't last much longer!
That stumble just now said it all!
I had been attacking his back and sides, but his front, especially his head, and the exposed skin might be his weak points!
After all, that last blow, although it was from the side, was very effective because it hit his bare thigh!
The problem now is that we can't get to his front quickly; this guy's cloak is just too strong.
It almost completely covered the back half of it.
I took a step forward, gripping the lightning sword, and then spun it to insert it, but the fat man suddenly moved!
Holy crap, my heart skipped a beat.
Seriously? Did this guy notice what I was doing?
I've been tiptoeing the whole time, without making a sound.
I was a little skeptical, which was why this guy moved so quickly, and his reaction seemed to be much faster than mine.
I thought about it for a moment and realized that this guy was probably ready to attack me at any time. It was only a matter of time. After absorbing the energy of the ancients, he was no longer the fat guy he was just now.
Just a second ago, my toes had barely touched the stone slab on the side when this guy suddenly turned around, his bluish-gray arm swinging fiercely straight at my face!
Even more terrifying was that every time this guy took a step out, the entire secret chamber would tremble violently.
"bump!"
Suddenly, the stone slab cracked open, revealing a huge fissure. I was shocked. Could this thing be heavy enough to crack the floor?
No way?
No matter what, isn't this fat guy just a frog that turned into a human?
I can hardly imagine how much weight he could gain in such a short time.
Or rather, at first I thought this thing was just getting bigger in appearance, and that there was no real change in its body.
But now it seems that he really is transforming every part of his body.
