His eyes exploded, his heart ruptured, his throat was completely shattered, and now even his brains had been smashed into a puddle of mush by Cheng Yang's kick.
Such movement.
Even if Cheng Yang is incredibly fast.
The two jackalmen in front now had ample time to react.
brandishing a machete and a spiked club, he charged toward Cheng Yang with bloodshot eyes and a howl.
Instead of retreating, Cheng Yang charged forward, heading straight for the two jackal-men. Just as the first jackal-men raised his machete and swung it down with all his might...
Cheng Yang seized the opportunity.
As he leaped away from the descending blade, he grabbed the gnoll's arm holding the knife, then used the momentum to gather his strength, swinging his body like a pendulum, and stomped on the gnoll's head as it followed closely behind!
Boom!
The jackal flew backward, blood gushing from its seven orifices and spraying blood foam.
Cheng Yang also took advantage of the situation to gather his strength a second time and complete the task.
With waist and stance in perfect harmony, a powerful elbow strike descends from mid-air!
tom!
The elbow strike, as sharp as a battle axe, followed with the sound of bones cracking. Releasing his arms from the jackal's arm, Cheng Yang flipped in mid-air to dissipate the force. The moment he landed safely, without even glancing at the corpse that had crashed to the ground, he vanished back into the shadows.
in this way.
A squad of four gnolls was wiped out in less than ten seconds in this alleyway that was less than ten meters long!
Half a minute later.
Three gnolls, who were nearby, cautiously rushed to the scene.
The next instant, the howls of wolves rang out as expected.
Three hundred meters away, in the shadows of an alleyway, Cheng Yang let out a soft hum, and one could sense a sense of fear and panic in the howling of wolves!
It is like this.
Cheng Yang then began to ambush people in various parts of this deserted village, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Whenever a wolf howls as a warning, the jackal-men's instincts, deeply ingrained in their blood, drive them to launch a pack attack.
But it is often at such times that Cheng Yang has the perfect opportunity to launch an ambush!
Without him.
Although jackals resemble humans.
They are also classified as humanoid fantasy species, but to be honest, gnolls aren't very smart!
Single-threaded thinking is acceptable.
To think that one could counter an ambush by a martial arts master like Cheng Yang was wishful thinking.
The key is that Cheng Yang's ambushes are very methodical. He always takes the lead in assassinating the most gnolls with minimal movement. Only when the target squad is reduced to a few individuals will he leave an opportunity for the gnolls to call for reinforcements, and then quickly end the battle.
This way.
Cheng Yang not only came and went freely.
With the aid of heightened perception, they can move in and out of the gnoll encirclement undetected!
One by one, the gnolls died at Cheng Yang's hands.
He quickly digested the complete guide to Chinese martial arts techniques brought by the master of skills.
The continuous practice of Qi and its harmonious flow allowed Cheng Yang to make significant progress in this path, and his worldly airs quietly faded away.
Instead, a shrewd and ruthless style has emerged!
It is also the unique demeanor of a grandmaster!
Though the mountain is high, I stand at its peak!
Though the enemy is numerous, I am invincible!
Chapter 5 Lady Silver Moon! Blasphemy Ritual
"its not right……"
Cheng Yang looked bewildered. In front of him lay the corpse of a brown rock jackal warrior, his bones broken and blood flowing from his seven orifices.
Strictly speaking.
The Brown Rock Gnoll tribe is quite powerful in combat.
The average score of all three body dimensions (strength, agility, and stamina) is above 12!
among them.
Gnoll warriors even possess a charge ability!
If Cheng Yang hadn't confined the battle to a small area from the start, preventing the gnoll warriors from maneuvering and charging forward... otherwise, even Cheng Yang himself would have been crushed on the spot by the charging horde led by the gnoll warriors!
Even if an ordinary person were armed with modern firearms, at best they could sneak up on the gnolls and kill three or five when they weren't looking. With their physical abilities and perception, it would be impossible for a mortal to survive a gnoll hunt!
of course.
This doesn't mean that gnolls can completely ignore modern technology.
Missiles are not needed.
Even the most ineffective rockets could wipe out this group of fantastical creatures in a single, coordinated attack.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yang secretly cursed himself for his miscalculation.
I should have modified the gas cylinder in my house that was about to rust. When that thing explodes, it's no easier than fighting it with my bare hands!
Sighed.
Cheng Yang began to review the ambush that had lasted for a full half hour.
During the process, as many as seventy-two jackalmen died at Cheng Yang's hands!
now.
Cheng Yang patrolled the village more than once. All was quiet. Not to mention any living jackals, even the chirping of insects and birds had disappeared!
But I still haven't received any notification that the dungeon is cleared!
That's why he said something was wrong.
"Speaking of which, whether it's the brown rock gnolls of different levels or gnoll warriors... they're essentially all just regular mobs of the same tier. As for the boss? Oh right, when I entered the dungeon, there was a prompt that seemed to recommend levels 1-3. I've seen the level 1 and 2 mobs, but the level 3 monsters haven't shown up yet!"
This is unreasonable!
With a helpless sigh, Cheng Yang had no choice but to set off again, searching everywhere in this deserted village.
The real gems are the rewards for clearing the free weekly dungeons.
He didn't want to lose the big picture for a small gain; how much were the spoils dropped by those gnoll minions worth?
This time.
Cheng Yang's approach differed from his previous cursory search.
Thatched huts, traces of gnoll activity, and even items dropped by gnolls in backpacks were all carefully examined.
After some searching, Cheng Yang actually discovered some interesting information.
First of all.
The Brown Rock Gnoll tribe doesn't seem like an invasion by outside predators!
The reason is that normal gnolls simply do not understand human values. In the eyes of gnolls, creations such as gold and jewels are no different from stones and plants!
Also.
The jackals' clothing was remarkably similar in style to that of the villagers who had perished in the deserted village! If there was any difference, it was simply that the jackals' clothing was more ornate and the fabrics were of higher quality!
He kicked a gnoll corpse, flipping it over.
Staring at the other person's skeleton, which was remarkably similar to that of a human, a bold conjecture arose in Cheng Yang's mind!
Could it be...
Are these gnolls a result of human mutation?
This thought arises.
The dungeon notification sound came one after another!
【Ding! 】
Congratulations to the player for successfully solving the puzzle...
[Weekly Free Dungeon: Gnoll Village Enters Next Phase... Dungeon Exploration Progress Greatly Increased!]
[Note: You can also choose to leave the dungeon, but this will significantly reduce the quality of the rewards!]
"Damn it, it's true!"
Cheng Yang was startled, and the next moment...
Suddenly, a bugle call resounded throughout the deserted village!
The entire instance seemed to have been filtered, the sky grew increasingly dark, and the bright moon cast a few cold, lonely rays of light.
Cheng Yang's sharp, hawk-like gaze surveyed every corner of the deserted village.
The first to undergo mutation.
These are the corpses of jackals who were killed one by one by Cheng Yang and are now lying in various parts of the deserted village!
Strands of azure smoke and light particles emerged from the jackal corpses, dotting the entire desolate village. Driven by some unknown force, they converged toward the center of the village on their own, and Cheng Yang quietly followed.
Not long after.
On the ruins of what appeared to be a church in the village, they gradually coalesced into one, transforming into a semi-transparent silver wolf phantom surrounded by azure light!
"A monster's soul? Or a bound spirit?"
Cheng Yang pondered to himself. Having gained a lot of gaming information while involved in online games, he could only make a rough guess about what was happening before him.
moment.
As the silver moonlight shone down, a certain predetermined mechanism was activated, and the silver wolf spirit went berserk, instantly losing its reason and standing upright with a silent roar!
In just a few seconds.
Silver Wolf is gone!
In its place stood an incredibly enormous, evil gnoll!
Within a pair of eyes as bright as searchlights, an evil crimson light danced wildly. A brutal and ferocious aura lingered around the gnoll spirit, and gradually, even the silver moon in the sky was stained crimson! In an instant, an aura of evil, grotesqueness, and blasphemy dominated the entire world!
Mysterious and brutal!
vicious and ferocious!
Cheng Yang's expression was inscrutable, and he muttered to himself:
"Silver Moon and Silver Wolf are undoubtedly the symbols of Lady Silver Moon, but... isn't that lady the one who loves beastmen? When did she start to favor the gnoll race?"
"No! No!"
"This is not a ceremony presided over by Lady Silvermoon!"
The high level of perception bestowed upon Cheng Yang by the master of Chinese martial arts, combined with the already formidable spiritual vision of the Heroic Spirit Envoy, further enhanced his abilities.
Let him quickly discover the anomaly!
When those ruins were intact, they were indeed Lady Silvermoon's church!
But now, it's a ruin!
Even more unknown entities have stolen Lady Silvermoon's faith!
To Cheng Yang's astonishment, the other party not only stole Lady Silver Moon's faith, but that unknown entity also used Lady Silver Moon's followers, icons, and church as a foundation to set up such a blasphemous ritual!
How did you get it?
The church ruins and the runes and rituals on the surrounding ground, illuminated one by one by crimson light, couldn't be clearer!
