“Gah? It’s dead already?” The Big Crow excitedly bounced around in place.
Lu Wenwu stowed away the giant sheep head and nodded, “Yeah, there are plenty of these things in Western Hell, and they’re pretty common in the Food Bureau’s ingredient library. I eat them often. Don’t be fooled by its fierce appearance, it’s actually just a big dummy. If you curse it, it’ll charge at you in a fit of rage.”
“There’s a crack on the forehead of this Sheep-headed Bull Demon’s skull. If you hit it wrong, it is the hardest part of its body; if you hit it right, it is the part with the least defense. Even at B+ Level, it can be easily taken down if you stay calm.”
“Let me tell you, the sheep head meat of the Sheep-headed Bull Demon tastes really good, the meat is extremely tender and delicious no matter how you cook it. Once we reach a safe place, I’ll stew this thing, and we’ll have a nice meal together.”
“It’s just a pity that the Sheep-headed Bull Demon has a high wastage rate; apart from the head, the rest doesn’t taste good, and its whole body of tendon meat is tough, sour, and stinky no matter how you cook it. Even the Evil Ghost Dogs at Evil Dog Ridge dislike it.”
“Gah gah! This master loves lamb!” The Big Crow was the first to respond.
The pretentious AC Little Milk Cow was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, “Hunters eating prey, that’s reasonable.”
Only the only “normal person” in the team, Xu Changjiang, seemed a bit overwhelmed.
Damn, what kind of teammates are these!
And why on earth would the Wangchuan River’s Food Bureau in the Underworld store such terrifying creatures as ingredients, damn it!
Having dealt with the Sheep-headed Bull Demon, the next step was to enter the Teleportation Gate.
As a Summoner, Xu Changjiang had come to terms with the fact that he was being carried by a powerful ally. To not hold the team back, he proactively summoned a rabbit and sent it ahead to scout.
After confirming the rabbit survived, the group of four decisively crossed through the wormhole, escaping the internally twisted and complicated Chaotic Mysterious Realm.
The three people and one crow who had already teleported away didn’t notice at all.
This central space with a spatial wormhole can’t be entered through normal means.
It requires constantly killing Howling Demons in the Chaotic Mysterious Realm.
Some Howling Demons are tainted with special Spatial Power, and upon killing them, they drop a unique spatial aura.
Gathering four such pieces as proof allows direct teleportation into this area.
Finally, forcibly killing the Sheep-headed Bull Demon, or bypassing it and directly charging into the wormhole to escape.
Even the Dungeon World’s natives probably never imagined that someone could stubbornly shoulder the chaotic space combination and dismantle their way to the center, and take down the Sheep-headed Bull Demon with a single punch.
This is just like when playing an escape room; the fastest way to finish is not to follow detailed guides, but to use brute force to smash through the mechanisms….
Meanwhile, in other areas of the Chaotic Mysterious Realm, fleeing and counterattacking were taking place.
Even the fastest among the other teams of four had just figured out the Howling Demons’ weaknesses and characteristics, found ways to deal with them, and started thinking of ways to hunt them down in reverse.
As for the slower ones…
They were still being chased by the Howling Demons, running around like headless chickens in a panic…
Some teams even dropped their Candle Lamps, leaving them to stumble through the corridors like blind men who’ve lost their senses, uncertain of their whereabouts.
After passing through the spatial wormhole, the oppressive blackness from before suddenly disappeared, replaced by a different kind of normal blackness.
The group looked up at the resplendent architecture before them, exuding a sinister black aura.
The black-painted golden plaque above the gate had two slightly crooked large characters written on it—Dragon Palace.
