Mang Hou

Chapter 109 Unexpected Cargo

Ten meters away, the eight spider arms landed steadily.

Suren shook his head, which was still a bit dizzy from being flung around. Looking at the lively fire monster in front of him, the solemn expression on his brow finally eased a little.

Because he discovered that the monster's defense had been broken!

Before, the damage from the musket fire hadn't even allowed for a second attack before the previous wounds had already healed themselves.

But now, the phosphorus fire's burning, coupled with the dozens of holes poked by the eight-armed spider spears, had dealt tons of damage. The wound healing was obviously struggling. This also meant that the monster's self-healing ability had reached its limit.

Although it was still healing continuously, as long as he continued to output damage that exceeded the healing amount, the monster would become weaker and weaker.

Moreover, self-healing was not without a cost.

In the realm of alchemy, energy is conserved.

Even if this monster had terrifying self-healing abilities, it still needed to consume biological energy to heal itself.

The more wounds it had, the greater the consumption, leading it to become weaker and weaker.

Because of its weakness, the monster's strength, perception, and reaction abilities would all decline.

Suren's combat pressure would become smaller and smaller.

What's more, this Abomination Warrior had a major weakness: low intelligence!

Reality only gave him a moment to breathe. As soon as Suren landed, he saw the monster charging towards him again.

But he didn't panic. He used the same trick again, manipulating the [Oil-Swallowing Doll] and the [Phosphorus Fire Doll], giving the monster's extinguishing flames another round of phosphorus fire coverage, and the flames blazed again...

With no intelligence, only the instinct to kill, it was just like fighting a Boss in a game. He could kite it, choosing a fixed routine of attack methods.

After burning it for a while, Suren found another opportunity to jump onto the monster's back again, and the spider spears went wild again...

The blue blood gradually sprayed more and more fiercely. The monster became weaker and weaker, its movements slower and slower, and less and less threatening.

.......

Not far away, Kay watched the battle and was speechless.

Originally, he wanted to rush up to help. Even if he couldn't hurt the monster, he could at least distract it and share some of the pressure for Suren.

Then, before he could act, he discovered that the plot was unfolding in a direction far beyond his expectations...

Knowing alchemy was one thing...

Having a spider bio-modification was one thing...

Being covered in ghost fire was one thing...

But now, where did these incomprehensible rune puppets come from?

He thought your spider legs were for running away, but...

His eyes were telling him, were you also a puppeteer?

However, Suren was ultimately gaining the upper hand. Kay's eyes also sparkled, and his heart surged. "What exactly is the quality of this spider bio-modification? And how can he control it so skillfully..."

A monster with the melee combat ability of a second-tier professional, with such abnormal defense and recovery, was actually being suppressed by Suren?

Alchemy bullets couldn't break the monster's defense, but the spider spears could pierce it... He now realized that the alchemy quality of this bio-modification must be terrifyingly high.

It definitely wasn't Black Iron!

Kay even felt that even a Silver bio-modification wouldn't be this strong!

After all, he was also a professional, so he knew the prerequisites for choosing bio-modification fusion.

Suren being able to fuse a high-quality alchemy bio-modification also meant that his Dark Spirit Power would far exceed others of the same rank when he took the job.

Moreover, being able to control these eight spider legs so skillfully was definitely not something ordinary people could do.

"So he wasn't joking on the battlefield before. It was true."

Thinking of this, Kay muttered with a strange look in his eyes, "Damn, if I hadn't encountered this monster today, I wouldn't have known this guy was so powerful!"

He always acted as the captain, protecting Suren, but it turned out that he was the clown all along.

But seeing that the balance of victory had already tilted towards Suren, Kay's clenched fists also slowly relaxed. His friend becoming stronger also brought him a kind of heartfelt joy.

.......

The battle was destined to end when Suren found the Abomination Warrior's weakness.

Before long.

The monster covered in flames finally weakened due to sustained injuries. After suffering a fatal stab from the spider spears, it let out a final, unwilling wail and crashed to the ground.

Suren looked at the corpse and finally let out a long breath.

Although the whole battle process seemed to be just a repeated routine of tripping, spraying oil and burning, and then poking, poking, poking...

In reality, almost every moment was a dance on the edge of a blade, between life and death.

The monster's strength did not allow him to make any mistakes.

You could hit the monster a hundred times, and it wouldn't feel a thing; but if you made one mistake, the monster could seize the opportunity and kill you instantly.

Because of his constant state of calm, Suren had reduced the probability of error to the minimum.

However, the battle also brought many gains.

This was the first time he had used all his means to kill a powerful enemy.

Although he had trained many times in the basement before, it was not the same as actual combat.

Fighting this "Abomination Warrior" gave him a lot of inspiration.

He also discovered that the Ghoul Master profession was very strong, but its strength was not only in the various magical effects of the ghouls. It was even stronger in the operability of this profession.

If various ghouls with different effects were used well in combination, the combat power could almost double, and one person could achieve the effect of a whole team!

This battle allowed Suren to gradually understand the future plan for his profession.

Tank, damage, healing, control, support... These abilities could all be completely replaced by ghouls with various effects.

He didn't need anyone to team up with. He was a team himself!

.......

Suren put away his bio-modification and slowly calmed his breathing.

At this time, Kay also walked over quickly, looking at Suren as if he were a monster, and asked excitedly, "Brother, when did you become so powerful? What's going on with your bio-modification? What kind of spell is that cold flame, and those puppets..."

Suren didn't think there was anything to hide, but it wasn't the time to explain. He smiled and shook his head, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's move the stuff. There's not much time left."

Kay pouted and stopped his gossip, "That's right."

The two did not delay any longer and quickly walked to the back of the truck.

They looked at the densely packed alloy boxes in the carriage, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Haha... Let me see what kind of treasures are worth having this monster guard them!"

As Kay spoke, he casually opened a mechanical box.

Instantly, a wave of cold air swept over them.

The two of them froze, because they saw that the box actually contained a set of brand-new, technologically advanced armor.

"This..."

Kay looked at the armor and then at Suren.

Weren't they supposed to be used mechanical equipment? This didn't seem like it...

Gently touching it, a cool, frosty sensation was transmitted to his palm.

Helmet, armor, mechanical gloves, frost cannons, power boilers... Each component had very advanced runes and enchanted plating.

Where had Kay, who was born in the slums, ever seen anything like this?

Looking at the armor, he was surprised and suspicious.

The spoils were too advanced, so much so that he felt it was a little unreal. It was like he had only come to grab some scrap iron, but what he got was all shiny gold bars.

He turned to look at Suren, his voice trembling slightly, and asked uncertainly, "Suren, brother, what kind of armor is this? Refur... refurnished?"

Suren narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized the origin of the armor.

He showed a pensive look and slowly uttered a few words, "The inner city guard's latest mechanical equipment - Frost Giant Combat Armor."

"..."

Hearing this, Kay's mind went blank.

Looking again, there were dozens of mechanical boxes of various sizes in this carriage, and he didn't know what treasures were inside.

The two immediately realized that this batch of goods... was completely different from the information they had received!

This time, it seemed like they had played it big.

ps. Some people questioned it, so I'll explain it a bit more. Don't think that this kind of low-profile escort team is unreliable, and the plot is far-fetched. The more valuable the items, the more low-key and secure the escort will be. If you're interested, you can search for '1931 Gold Theft Case'. Similar cases in reality are countless. Many very precious things are often transported in the simplest and most unadorned way, and the loss process is also very coincidental. Moreover, this plot also involves a hidden plot. In the outer city, the Black Tower is not without opponents.
