The monster slowly raised its head, its blood-red, cold eyes looking toward the source of the sound.
Cheng Shuang frowned in distress, realizing she was in trouble. She didn't know the rules of this instance, but she could guess some of them. If she really released the monster out of the tomb, the instance would probably judge it as a loss for her, or rather, a loss for all of humanity...
What's most advantageous for her right now is that her mental strength is not weak, and she can get rid of the monster's mental attacks. However, the monster has a strong jumping ability, and once it locks onto her with all its might, even with short-distance teleportation, it will be difficult to get rid of it.
The little girl calmed down, and after the monster lightly tore another triangle in the elevator ceiling with its long, dry, yellow fingernails, Roan on her shoulder whistled.
In the almost enclosed space, the whistle had an excellent effect, sounding exceptionally loud.
The monster bent over with a whoosh. Its body was twisted beyond recognition, completely breaking the limits of human endurance. Bones, fascia, and even internal organs no longer hindered the monster. Cheng watched as it slid down the elevator like a noodle or flowing water. Its withered and strangely long arm reached the position where the little girl was hanging almost instantly.
A chilling wind, carrying a putrid stench, rushed towards them. In a split second, Cheng Shuang held her breath, braced her shoe against a gap in the metal wall, and leaned back, narrowly avoiding the sharp claw that could have pierced her forehead.
The little girl with two cat ears popping out of her head, even with the agility of the black cat Diona, still had her chest pounding uncontrollably. The dizziness and excitement of seeing the view from above while upside down made even a cat's fur stand on end. Moreover, the weight of her whole body was pressing on her ankles, and a tearing fascia pain made her little face show a painful expression of grimacing.
Cheng Shuang endured it, and after feeling a heavy impact from the metal wall behind him, he immediately let out a low shout.
Upon hearing the news, the bear cub came out. As a plush toy, it was incredibly light and agile. In no time, it climbed from the little girl's body onto the metal wall. When a blood-red eye stared maliciously at the little girl's ankle, it suddenly grew larger, grabbed the metal wall with one paw, and pressed down on the self-defense spray with the other.
A cloud of red mist rushed straight towards the monster's red eyes. Because the monster did not sense any other creature besides Cheng Shuang, it was caught completely off guard and was sprayed directly.
Animal Planet's self-defense spray is not just simple pepper spray; it contains a variety of drugs that can blind people. Purchasers are required to provide guarantees and register. If a female is not insulted and uses the spray, she will also be held legally responsible.
The self-defense spray was in its normal size, fitting perfectly in the bear's paw. The monster only instinctively flinched twice, completely unaware of what was happening. When it realized that the pain it hadn't felt in a long time was now enveloping its entire eye, it immediately understood that it had been attacked and roared furiously at the bear through the metal wall.
Thick, dark green blood flowed from its eyes. The mental attack was no longer effective. Its steel-like claws angrily pierced through the metal wall, only to be kicked back by the bear cub. The bear cub's immense strength could not easily break through its sturdy, withered body.
The metal wall was torn open by the bear and the monster, leaving one large hole after another. Whenever the monster tried to ambush Cheng Shuang, the giant bear intercepted it in time. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, clinging to the wall and forming a triangular formation with Cheng Shuang, neither able to gain the upper hand.
The entire metal wall creaked and groaned under its own weight, threatening to collapse. Cheng Shuang gritted her teeth and used the leverage to roll over. She couldn't let the bear cub keep resisting. The monster was tireless, but the bear cub had a time limit.
The little girl painstakingly rummaged through the storage compartments and found an iron chain. This chain was originally the lock on the small door from the convenience store's storage room to the apartment. When the convenience store's interior was being upgraded, the chain broke off and fell to the ground, which she kept as a souvenir.
Now it's just the right time to use it.
"Cub, paws!"
The giant bear's eyes flashed, and it swiftly tossed the empty bottle of self-defense spray at the monster. The monster, which was fiercely gripping the metal wall with its two paws, turned its head and noticed something rushing towards it. It immediately remembered the thing that had caused it pain and blinded it, and instinctively pulled out a paw and swung it away forcefully.
Cheng Shuang quickly threw one end of the chain to Xiong Baobao, and then, holding the other end, swung towards the monster like a swing. The monster bared its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and roared defiantly at her. Because the arm that was waving the empty bottle couldn't retract in time, the other arm tried to pierce through Cheng Shuang's chest.
The little girl was light, and the bear cub adjusted the chain at one end in time, causing the monster's arm to miss its target. Of course, the monster suddenly realized that neither of its claws was gripping the metal wall, so it quickly retracted its grip and no longer cared about attacking.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the little bear swung the chain vigorously, letting it carry the light little girl around the two monsters' claws.
In the blink of an eye, Luo An teleported, bringing Cheng Shuang and the other end of the chain to the side of the giant bear. The bear's paws protected the little girl, and Cheng Shuang, after securing herself, quickly found a bucket of healthy plant oil, a specialty of Animal Planet, and poured it all down, targeting the monster's arm and the metal wall below.
The slippery sensation soaked the monster, leaving it completely oblivious to the chains binding its arms. It howled and tried to claw at the metal wall with its nails, but because it was covered in slick essential oil, there was nowhere dry to put its feet.
Cheng Shuang pressed the lighter and threw it down. The bear cub used this to release the iron chain in its hand. The lighter hit the food oil monster and burst into flames.
The dried-up, mummified monster was already highly flammable; combined with the mummy, it created a raging inferno.
The monster had never endured such a scorching attack. Perhaps it was because the chains bound its arms, or perhaps the fire hindered its progress, but it fell without resistance, crashing heavily to the ground with a loud thud.
Luo An activated his skill again, teleporting himself and the bear through a gap in the dilapidated elevator ceiling.
Cheng Shuang kept her eyes fixed on the direction of the monster. After a large amount of sunlight flooded into her vision, the monster, which had fallen and remained motionless, twitched twice, stood up amidst its flames, and roared furiously to the sky.
It can't be killed by fire.
Realizing this, the little girl heard a mechanical voice prompt: "Ancient Tomb Dungeon failed. Leaving will deduct 3 points, restarting the dungeon will deduct 1 point."
It failed.
The little girl opened her eyes and looked around. It was still the same park bench. Du Jun and Sun Han were not there, which meant that their dungeon was not yet over.
She hesitated and looked down at the hardcover notebook she was holding.
Is this dungeon about rescuing the professor or successfully killing the monster?
This is way too difficult!
Failure deducts 3 points, leaving her with only 1 point. If restarting also fails, she will have no points left.
Cheng Shuang frowned, revealing a troubled expression as if she had a toothache.
If there is enough time, rescuing people is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how to kill that monster.
Perhaps we should look at it another way. Although she eventually escaped, the monster didn't die either. As long as it's alive, it will definitely seek revenge, so the dungeon still failed.
So even if you can't kill it, is trapping it in an ancient tomb a kind of success?
