Heavy footsteps accompanied by deep breathing came from behind, and Liu Nian's heart sank.
The shadow cast by the Clockwork Chariot still lingered in his mind, so he no longer hesitated to use the Star Summoning Staff, summoning stars.
The high-hanging stars illuminated the wider surroundings, allowing Liu Nian to see everything clearly.
There were many dilapidated buildings around the muddy ground, but the wind-up chariot was still nowhere to be seen; only heavy footsteps could be heard.
Knowing from the ground tremors that it was getting closer, Liu Nian summoned the creature from the dark space again before the chariot arrived.
After defeating the spiders, Liu Nian lost the protection of the starlight and had to reduce the number of summoned creatures.
The flock of ravens finally spotted the mysterious figure and immediately issued a warning.
Because of the Clockwork Chariot's ramming ability, Liu Nian dared not go to check, fearing that it would take the opportunity to ram him.
However, with the help of the flock of ravens, Liu Nian judged that it was approaching him, so he calmed down and waited quietly.
With all four limbs on the ground, his sturdy body effortlessly caused the building in front of him to collapse.
Seconds after the building collapsed completely, the monster finally emerged from the darkness.
Perhaps because it lost the initiative due to being spotted by the raven, it did not choose to rush out of the darkness, but instead slowly approached the undead units that were already lined up.
Gray, its entire body covered in gray skin, with a large horn standing upright on its nostrils—that was Liu Nian's first impression of it.
The design of the Clockwork Chariot is definitely taken from it; it's almost identical to the chariot.
The difference is that this monster is alive!
【Ancient Rhinoceros】(Level 40 Guardian)
? ? ?
This is the feedback from the information gathering; everything except the names is a question mark.
Moreover, it would also charge. Watching the ancient rhinoceros lower its head and charge towards this side, its large horns flashing with a cold, eerie light, it had an aura that could pierce through everything.
Liu Nian looked at his own physique and realized he was no match for the opponent, so he could only quickly dodge based on the attack's momentum.
This rhinoceros was far more powerful than the clockwork chariot. It effortlessly knocked aside the charging Dread Knight and also knocked down the Abominations that surrounded it.
The slowing spell Liu Nian cast could only slow it down, but not its charging attack.
Therefore, Liu Nian could not limit its speed because it was charging almost non-stop the entire time.
It's unstoppable, completely unstoppable!
The skeleton warriors' shield wall, the ghoul legion's mass charge, and even Lamasu's encirclement all failed under its charge.
This crazed rhinoceros truly lives up to its name as an ancient rhinoceros.
The ancient rhinoceros, still brimming with power, utterly destroyed the surrounding dilapidated buildings. Even Liu Nian's summoned creatures combined couldn't withstand its devastation, and people were knocked over and thrown about.
Seeing this scene, Liu Nian couldn't help but swallow hard. He couldn't fight them head-on, so he had to outsmart them; that was the only thing he could think of.
Let's hide to one side first; the ranged attacks from the other side have already begun to intensify.
After Tiffany's poison magic was successfully detected, Liu Nian threw her back into the space. Given her movement speed, it would be difficult for her to avoid the impact, so as to avoid causing unnecessary casualties. No one knew whether a special unit like Tiffany could be resurrected by the Spirit Gathering Technique.
All of Lamasu took to the air; as long as the plague aura enveloped the rhinoceros, the plague and the breath of pests would continuously erode it.
Except for the Dread Knights and Abominations, all the ground troops were recalled by Liu Nian. The Rhino's strength could not be overcome by numbers; it could only be defeated by slowly wearing it down.
Once the tactics were figured out, things became much easier. After taking protective measures, Liu Nian decisively pulled the rhinoceros towards the surrounding buildings.
The ancient rhinoceros, transformed into a bulldozer, followed closely behind Liu Nian, constantly ramming into the fragile building complex.
The debris behind him kept slamming against Liu Nian's shield, making it clang loudly.
Hearing this, Liu Nian dared not look back. He could only listen to his surroundings and dodge to the side when the rhinoceros approached.
Liu Nian observed that a rhinoceros can only charge in a straight line, which is why he always manages to escape danger whenever he is about to be gored by a rhinoceros horn.
Pulling monsters is a skill, especially pulling these crazy bulls.
When there was no collision, Liu Nian was fast; when there was a collision, Rhino was fast. The two of them just kept tumbling back and forth in the building complex.
Unbeknownst to them, they had already run out of the starlight's range. Fortunately, Liu Nian kept holding onto the lantern. There were two towering pillars in front of them, and Liu Nian decisively passed between them.
The rhinoceros's panting could be clearly heard behind him. Liu Nian quickly turned around and stared intently at the direction the rhinoceros was charging.
It's an opportunity. It would take four people to completely hug these two pillars. If that's not enough, unless the rhinoceros slips and falls into the abyss, Liu Nian will have no way to hold it back.
Just as Liu Nian had expected, seeing Liu Nian dancing between the two pillars, the rhinoceros simply charged at Liu Nian, completely ignoring the pillars.
Little human, let me show you how powerful Grandpa Cow is!
With a loud crash, Pillar Brother remained motionless, while the ancient rhinoceros knelt beside the pillar with its head bowed.
Seeing it shaking its head in pain and unable to stand up for a long time, Liu Nian took the opportunity to beat the dog while it was down, throwing the bone spear at the ancient rhinoceros as if it were free.
The wand's passive effect continuously drains its shadow resistance, which makes the bone spear's damage increasingly higher.
The terrifying knight behind him seized the opportunity to attack, slashing the immobilized rhinoceros with his blade, leaving a deep gash on its dark gray hide.
Although its bones were not broken, it successfully angered the rhinoceros.
I never imagined that I, Old Ox, who has roamed the underground for countless years, would be tricked by a mere human today. If word gets out, won't I lose face?
Shaking its dizzy head, it suddenly stood up and dug several notches in the rocky ground with its forelimbs.
"It's about to charge again," Liu Nian thought, looking at its agitated and restless appearance.
The Dread Knight had already made his move and was quite a distance away, leaving the Abomination far behind and still nowhere to be seen.
Who are you going to attack? Liu Nian stared intently at the rhinoceros's movements from between the pillars.
After glancing at Liu Nian behind the pillar, the ancient rhinoceros pawed at the ground for a few seconds before charging towards the terrifying knight like an arrow released from a bow.
How could it let it have its way? The Nightmare Horse is a four-legged creature, how could it let it crash into it for nothing? It turned sideways, its forelegs off the ground, and easily dodged the rhinoceros's impact.
Knowing that the pillar was quite sturdy and that the rhinoceros would be stunned by it, the problem became much simpler. Liu Nian then played a game of "Qin King circling the pillar" with the rhinoceros between the two pillars.
Are you coming or not?
If you don't come, I'll use my bone spear to wear you down, and the Lamasu in the sky is also slowly whittling down your health.
If you come and knock someone unconscious, you'll face the predicament of being ganged up on and beaten.
It's up to you to choose.
Anyway, the hatred is firmly rooted in Liu Nian, so there's no fear that it can escape!
With the enhancement from the equipment, Liu Nian's bone spear can reach more than 150 points of damage, which is quite considerable.
Although this might have been a minor injury for an ancient rhinoceros.
However, even mosquito meat is meat, and Liu Nian had long understood the principle that every little bit counts.
They kept adjusting their direction, watching as the rhinoceros slowly approached.
As expected, it crashed into the pillar again. Liu Nian watched the rhinoceros lying sprawled on its back as the bone spear in his hand slowly took shape.
