Chapter 428: Silver-level creature battle: Squeaky challenges Wendigo. |
Duang~~
With the sound ringing out, Yu Yuan's brain felt as if struck by a heavy hammer, experiencing a momentary daze.
His movements slightly faltered, and his consciousness was suddenly enveloped by a ravenous hunger.
"So hungry!"
The Wendigo's mental corruption had activated!
How powerful the mental corruption of a Silver-tier creature could be was evident just from the gruesome state of that thug earlier.
The Wendigo thought the same.
Although it didn't understand why this creature before it could actively attack within the dream.
But an ant was, in the end, just an ant.
To the Wendigo, it was merely a slightly larger ant.
It did not believe the other could resist its mental corruption.
Seeing the momentary pause in movement, the Wendigo had already swung its sharp claws, stabbing towards Yu Yuan's head.
A ferocious and triumphant smile of a successful hunt spread across its skeletal mouth.
"Is this an unexpected surprise?! Ant~~~~"
The Wendigo seemed to have already foreseen the next scene.
The ant's head pierced by its claws, then hoisted high by it, just like all those enemies who had defied it before.
Like the Molten Demons, like the Dawn Judgment Corps...
It would tear all its enemies to shreds.
But in reality, surprises~~~~ were everywhere.
The mental resistance Yu Yuan had been accumulating since entering the wasteland game finally came into play.
A mental resistance stat as high as 190 points, plus a 220% mental trauma recovery speed.
Caused the Wendigo's mental corruption to barely take effect on Yu Yuan before being completely resisted in the very next instant.
Yu Yuan's dazed gaze also became clear and calm.
And this was only the beginning.
As the Wendigo's mental corruption was successfully resisted by Yu Yuan, the two passive characteristics of Yu Yuan's psychic ability [Cured but Still Drooling] successfully triggered.
—— ① [Neurological Disease Prevention Guide]: Mental Resistance +100, Mental Trauma Recovery +80%. When successfully resisting a mental-type attack released by an enemy, will perform a [Diagnosis] counterattack on the enemy.
—— ② [Neurology Specialization]: When releasing psychic ability on a target, can ignore the target's mental resistance.
Thus, just as the Wendigo, with its ferocious smile, swung its claws, leaving less than 10 centimeters between them and Yu Yuan's head.
Its entire body's muscles suddenly stiffened, as if standing at attention, and it toppled straight to the ground, entering the tonic phase of an epileptic seizure.
Immediately after, the Wendigo's limbs and torso began to convulse rhythmically, shaking and twitching as it convulsed.
Its skeletal mouth twisted to the sides, and a liquid resembling drool flowed from its mouth.
Its originally eerie, terrifying green eyes also began rolling up and down continuously, dull and helpless.
"Moo~~~ Moo moo moo~" Accompanied by meaningless cries throughout.
In an instant, the originally powerful and terrifying Silver-tier forbidden existence.
Had turned into a mentally handicapped monster in desperate need of humanitarian care.
Yu Yuan looked at the Wendigo affected by the psychic ability [Diagnosis - Epilepsy], spat on his palm.
His eyes turned fierce as he grabbed the Epic heavy hammer, raising it high.
"Break for me!"
Accompanied by Yu Yuan's furious roar, the hammer, without time to build up force, was brought down hard directly onto the Wendigo's cervical spine.
Duang~~~ duang~~~ duang~~~
Yu Yuan was truly going all out.
The first hammer came down without the slightest pause, using the rebound force for a second hammer, a third hammer~~
He also focused all the nightmare projection entirely onto the Wendigo's body.
Only this way could everything happening in the dream truly affect the Wendigo's physical body in reality.
Although the Wendigo's life level was as high as Silver-tier, its cervical vertebrae, under the relentless pounding of the Epic heavy hammer.
Also began to deform, to twist.
The unique [Shatter] effect of the [No. 15 Steam Kinetic Heavy Hammer from the Ruined City], although unable to directly break the Wendigo's cervical spine, also began to show cracks.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Yuan had already delivered eight hammer blows. Just as he mustered his strength, preparing for the ninth blow.
The Wendigo, under [Diagnosis - Epilepsy], suddenly recovered.
Seeing a heavy hammer carrying a whistling momentum above its head, getting closer and closer.
Moo~
With an obviously panicked cry, the Epic heavy hammer smashed directly into the ground.
The Wendigo's figure actually began to dissolve into wind and snow, rapidly dispersing.
And as the Wendigo's figure dispersed, Yu Yuan immediately sensed this dream beginning to shatter.
He immediately detached from the dream, returning to his own body.
In the underground structure of the Iron Anchor Shipping Company not far away, those thugs who had fallen into slumber, some had already died, while others had regained consciousness.
But what followed immediately were roars filled with terror and pleading.
"No... no, my hand, my intestines..."
"Hungry... I'm hungry... I need food, I want to eat you all..."
"Vida's dead, he's dead..."
"Monster, there's a monster! Kill it..."
Rat-a-tat-tat——
The Iron Anchor Shipping Company descended into brief chaos.
The commotion was huge, audible even to Yu Yuan hidden within the Shadow Dimension.
Simultaneously, he sensed the number of thugs in the Iron Anchor Shipping Company was rapidly decreasing.
"Master, the Wendigo has appeared, it's fighting the thugs." Zhi Zhi's voice sounded.
Yu Yuan understood that his previous attack on the Wendigo in the dream was not without effect.
At the very least, it had forced it out, exposing it to the sight of the Iron Anchor Shipping Company thugs.
However, a Silver-tier creature was simply not something these ordinary thugs could contend with.
It was practically a one-sided slaughter.
"Master, it's coming out."
The moment Zhi Zhi's words fell, Yu Yuan had already seen in the snowy ground.
The blizzard descended once more.
As snowflakes danced, the Wendigo's staggering figure appeared in the snowy ground, and it deeply plunged into it.
It could no longer control its power, its originally pale body now stained with fresh blood.
Fresh blood still dripped down the blade of its sharp claws, but quickly froze in the extreme cold.
A faint red chill emanated from around the Wendigo's body.
The wind and snow on the street visibly intensified, gathering towards the Wendigo.
And wrapping around its body.
Moo~
With another muffled cry——
The Wendigo's dual claws plunged directly into the thick ice and snow, its voice filled with joy.
Large swathes of the snow layer vanished, a massive blizzard swept through the entire street.
The Wendigo's shattered cervical spine, however, was rapidly recovering.
The Wendigo was actually absorbing the ice and snow to heal its injuries.
"Damn it! That's really messed up!"
The moment the Wendigo appeared, Yu Yuan had already left the Shadow Dimension.
"Zhi Zhi, go! Kill it now while we can!"
Strike while the iron is hot, Yu Yuan knew all too well how hard-won this opportunity was.
Watching the hard-earned gains from the dream rapidly disappearing before his eyes.
How could he tolerate that.
Zhi Zhi also vanished the instant it heard Yu Yuan's command.
The next moment, all the shadows on the entire street converged towards the Wendigo's location.
Transforming into a giant shadow rat five meters in size.
It opened its mouth wide, letting out a fierce rodent shriek directly at the Wendigo.
Squeak squeak——
