Chapter 371 Deflated

Han Zu flew up and rushed in front of the monster. Before he could see the monster's appearance clearly, he had already launched an attack.

"Hold on! Don't use any moves other than high-energy rays and close combat! This crystal pillar can't withstand any attack! Find a way to pull it away!"

Just when Han Zu was about to use the flesh cannon and biological missiles to quickly resolve the battle, Gloria, who was left behind to ensure the repair of the crystal column, immediately reminded Han Zu. Although the ruins room where the crystal column was located looked very solid, the room was not too big and the monster was not small. Han Zu's other moves were basically large-scale AOE, and the crystal column was as brittle as a piece of paper. So in order to allow the crystal column to be repaired smoothly, Gloria not only reminded Han Zu and dragged the monster out, but also spent some effort to protect the slow-moving undead.

"Tom!"

The monster looked intimidating, but its reaction speed was not very good. As soon as it appeared from the shadows, it was hit by Han Zu's sudden attack and was at a loss. It was not until Han Zu found the right angle and kicked the monster out of the room where the crystal column was located with a cannon kick that it reacted and rushed towards Han Zu with a roar.

Han Zu stood firm, lowered his body, and aimed at the direction of the monster's attack. With flexibility that was inconsistent with his body size, he accurately dodged the monster's attack by turning sideways, and then exerted force on his feet, and rushed towards the monster like an arrow from a bow. The monster swung its huge claws and swept across. This time, Han Zu did not dodge, but swung a heavy punch at the monster's claws, deflecting the monster's attack. Taking advantage of the moment when the monster was stiff, Han Zu took a step forward, raised his other hand, stretched his arm forward, and hit a bone-wrapped part of the monster's abdomen with a precise and fierce elbow strike.

"boom!"

As the bones in the abdomen were directly crushed, the monster was knocked back a few steps, its eyes full of anger. A black smoke blew out of its mouth, and the smoke seemed to have life. After a short period of floating in the air, it rushed directly towards Han Zu. Han Zu held his breath, and at the same time, his body flashed, changing into the form of soul-grabbing miasma, quickly avoiding the smoke, appearing on the side of the monster to regroup, followed by a series of close combat skills.

At this time, Gloria was also making good progress, and the repair of the crystal column was almost complete. She turned to look at Han Zu and shouted, "30%!"

The development was good, but Han Zu gradually discovered that this monster was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. If the series of attacks just now were used on other things, the opponent would have died several times, and the worst result would be the loss of all combat effectiveness. But this monster in front of him, who looked like nothing, was basically not injured except for its slow reaction.

But Han Zu had clearly caused a lot of major injuries to the monster, such as the bone part that was crushed by him. But now Han Zu could confirm that the location was intact, without any signs of damage.

Something was not right, so Han Zu immediately changed his fighting style from offense to defense, and at the same time used the contractor's equipment to analyze the monster in front of him.

"No signs of life detected."

"What the hell? What did I hit?"

However, at the beginning of the preliminary test, a strange result appeared in the device's scan results. According to the device's detection, the monster that Han Zu was fighting was not alive.

At first glance, it might seem like nothing, perhaps because this monster is something like the undead, not something that belongs to the realm of life. Under normal circumstances, however, contractors have a different understanding of life and know more. Although they probably haven't seen this creature in front of them, if it is really something like the undead, in the contractors' cognition, it should also be a kind of life.

However, the contractor’s equipment has not yet confirmed that this monster is a living creature, which means that there must be something wrong with this monster.

In the classification of equipment and contractors, there are actually not many things that cannot be called living things. Most of them are minerals, basic elements, and non-AI man-made objects. However, Han Zu does not think that this monster belongs to any category. He always feels that something is wrong.

It didn't take long for Han Zu to suddenly think of a key thing, that is, before this monster appeared, the contractor's equipment scanned signs of life. At that time, because the monster suddenly appeared, Han Zu subconsciously regarded what the equipment scanned as it, but now think about it, what the equipment scanned should be someone else.

"Locking down special life signs... Locking completed."

Han Zu immediately used the equipment to perform another scan. While defending against the monster's attack, he retreated towards the room where the crystal pillar was, while looking for the real sign of life. Han Zu always felt that the thing should still be in the room where the crystal pillar was, because when the monster appeared, the primary target of the attack was not Han Zu, but the crystal pillar behind him.

Sure enough, with the precise detection of the equipment, Han Zu locked onto the hostile life reaction that was scanned for the first time. The thing was still in the room, and according to its posture, it seemed that it was about to attack the crystal column being repaired. Gloria was on the side of the thing, and it might not be in time to stop it, so Han Zu immediately charged the high-energy rays in his eyes and notified Gloria with the contractor's equipment, and shouted for safety reasons.

"Your right!"

Although Gloria didn't know why Han Zu suddenly yelled, she must have had his reasons, so after hearing the sound, Gloria immediately flew to the right. In midair, Gloria saw an extremely fast and blurry figure rushing towards the crystal column. Due to the distance, Gloria was unable to intercept the figure. She could only watch it getting closer and closer to the crystal column.

"Buzz!!!!"

Fortunately, Han Zu stored up high-energy rays and shot them out in front of the figure. The rays penetrated the wall of the crystal column room, blocking the figure's eyes, and also directly penetrated everything in its path.

The figure was forced to stop, and with the dazzling light of the high-energy ray, Gloria finally saw the figure clearly - it was a small elf-like creature emitting a faint blue light. Because of its high speed, in order to avoid hitting the high-energy ray emitted by Han Zu, the small elf-like creature released some power and pushed itself away from the ray. At this time, the monster that was attacking Han Zu also disappeared abruptly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Zu immediately rushed into the room where the crystal column was at the fastest speed, blocking the crystal column and it.

"What is this?" Gloria asked in surprise.

Han Zu frowned, "No matter what it is, its goal is to destroy the crystal column."

The elf made a sharp cry. This sound was very harsh. It was not a sound that the two people knew. It was a bit like rubbing a blackboard with glass fragments, and there was also a noise similar to that made by an abnormal angle grinder. The air around them seemed to tremble. Suddenly, it waved its hands, and countless energy spikes shot towards Han Zu and Gloria. Han Zu used the special characteristics of his body, precise muscle control, and skin like mechanical armor to gradually reflect the energy spikes attacking him. Gloria avoided the front of the spikes and used radiation pulses to shoot down the energy spikes heading towards her.

Since the main target of this elf's attack has always been the crystal pillar behind Han Zu, Han Zu has no way to fight back for the time being. The crystal pillar looks extremely fragile. If he acts rashly, it is likely to be destroyed directly, resulting in all previous efforts being wasted. So the two of them resisted the elf's attack while thinking about corresponding countermeasures.

In the process of dealing with the elf's attack, the two found that the radiation pulse released by Gloria could temporarily slow down the elf's movement speed. If the angle was right and the pulse ring diffusion and the returning wave could hit the elf, it could completely stop for a short time. In this way, the two had an idea of ​​how to deal with this elf. As long as they found an opportunity to let Gloria's radiation pulse successfully hit the elf twice, and then Han Zu used the high-energy ray that had been fully charged to hit the elf, they should be able to completely stop it. After all, the elf before obviously didn't want to collide with the high-energy ray shot from his eyes.

Gloria took a deep breath and waited for the opportunity. The elf attacked again, and the energy spikes came overwhelming. Gloria seized the opportunity and released a radiation pulse, which expanded outward in a ring. When the elf dodged, it happened to hit the return wave of the pulse, and its body suddenly paused and its speed dropped sharply.

"Now!" Han Zu shouted. Gloria once again released the radiation pulse with all her strength, and the elf was completely frozen in place after being hit. Han Zu fired the high-energy beam that had been fully charged without hesitation.

"Zizizizi..." The high-energy rays rushed straight towards the elf. Just as they were about to hit the elf, a layer of dark blue shield appeared around the elf, ready to block the attack.

However, this time Han Zu was different from the past. After hitting the elf, Han Zu did not stop the high-energy rays, but continued to transmit energy to his eyes, increasing the energy output of the high-energy rays. The powerful high-energy rays continued to attack, and the blue shield around the elf was soon burned out. In order to avoid suffering serious damage, the elf waved his hands again, summoned another monster, and rushed towards the crystal pillar that was about to be repaired.

Han Zu and Gloria were not close to the monster, and they could not prevent the crystal column from being destroyed by normal means. However, Han Zu suddenly had an idea. While the elf was resisting the high-energy rays, he reached out and grabbed Gloria, and threw her to the monster. Gloria understood what he meant, and at the moment of contact with the monster, she released a fan-shaped radiation pulse towards the monster, temporarily forcing the monster back. At the same time, Han Zu increased the energy output while closing the distance with the elf, then suddenly grabbed the elf that was struggling to resist the high-energy rays, and pressed it directly on his eyes. He once again increased the energy supply of the high-energy rays.

The elf, unable to break free, was continuously burned by the high-energy rays at close range and soon lost its ability to resist. Half of its body was melted by the fatal high temperature. In order to ensure that the elf could not fight back in the face of death, Han Zu directly threw half of the still struggling elf into his mouth. Using the special structure of his body, after chewing it thoroughly, Han Zu tilted his neck and swallowed the chewed remains of the elf directly into his stomach. At the same time, he activated the ability to convert energy and completely absorbed the remaining energy.

With the death of the elf, the monster it controlled also disappeared. At the same time, the equipment detection also reported that the crystal column had been repaired.

"A large number of life-like reactions have been detected."

"Unknown transmission path detected."

However, before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, they discovered dozens of similar energy reactions through the scanning of the equipment. Based on the similarity of the energy fluctuations, they could basically determine that these were dozens of creatures like the elf just now, similar things.

Soon, they rushed out from all directions, and various energy surges appeared immediately, and the crystal column was about to suffer irreparable and fatal damage.

"The transmission path has been constructed, and we can start transmitting..."

Before he finished explaining the device's information, Han Zu swung out a tentacle and pulled Gloria over from the other floor of the room. He then used the contractor's equipment without hesitation to open the transmission channel, and then grabbed Gloria and slammed her headfirst into the crystal column.

The moment the two people touched the crystal column, a strange light immediately appeared and enveloped their bodies. In a flash, the figures of the two people disappeared in front of the crystal column.

"Click, click."

"Boom!!!"

Less than a second after the two disappeared, a large number of cracks appeared on the crystal column, and then it was blasted into pieces by the energy attack from the group of elf-like creatures.

However, after seeing that the crystal pillar was completely destroyed and could never be restored, the group of elves were not relieved but felt very angry, as if destroying the crystal pillar was not something to be happy about.

Without the crystal pillar, the nearby rune arrays quickly lost their light and gradually dimmed until they lost all their energy. After the rune arrays disappeared, the slow-moving undead fell to the ground and gradually began to weather, soon turning into ashes.

Those elf-like creatures seemed to be very angry about the disappearance of these undead souls. They could be heard chattering with each other as if they were talking or arguing about something. However, they soon seemed to have found something else important and quickly separated and left the room.
