Chapter 98 Symbiotic Strangeness
At the same time, Wang Hu and Su Wanyue also dealt with the last clone.
Just as the two were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the well water above them condense and reshape itself once again.
Not long after, six more copies appeared.
"Seriously?! Again?" Su Wanyue also looked annoyed.
"Is this never going to end?" Zhao Hai frowned and sheathed his willow wood sword.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai no longer cared about losing his sign-in points and directly spent 20 sign-in points to exchange for these two strange weaknesses from the system.
[Mysterious: Drowning Well]
This strange creature has no offensive capabilities, but possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities and home-field advantage!
[Mysterious: Replica Bronze Mirror]
[This strange entity, like the Drowning Well, lacks powerful offensive capabilities! However, it can replicate the abilities of others and manifest them concretely within the Drowning Well!]
These two strange creatures have a symbiotic relationship. One of them alone is easy to deal with, but their symbiotic relationship makes them extremely difficult to handle!
These two strange creatures, lacking any offensive capabilities, usually feign weakness and like to lure survivors into wells!
[Inside the well, two bizarre clones, created through a collaborative effort, each possess three times the fighting power of their original counterparts!]
[The drowning well is vulnerable to high temperatures (above 500 degrees Celsius). Starting from the well wall, the 29th brick at the bottom is the heart of the drowning well; breaking it will destroy the well!]
The replica bronze mirror is fragile; simply breaking its surface will destroy it! However, the two have a symbiotic relationship; the drowning well provides protection for the replica bronze mirror!
The clones created by both can resurrect infinitely, but they will only revive after all clones have died! The more clones there are, the weaker the drowning well's defense against the replica bronze mirror becomes! (Note 1: If the host wants to kill these two monsters, they can kill the replica bronze mirror directly without killing the clones first!)
(Note 2: Do not enter the well to kill the drowning well before killing the replica bronze mirror, otherwise the host will encounter a replica with three times the strength!)
It must be said that the weaknesses identified by the system are quite comprehensive.
As he thought, to kill these two monsters, he really had to kill the mirror first. Once the mirror was killed and the clone was gone, killing the well would be a piece of cake for them.
"Sister Wanyue, Brother Hu, don't rush. If you want to kill these two monsters, you must kill that mirror first!" Zhao Hai reminded the two of them.
"That's really troublesome! The water curtain on that ghost mirror has a very strong defensive power. How can we break through the water curtain's defense to attack the mirror?" Su Wanyue had just witnessed Zhao Hai attacking the mirror. To be honest, even with her attack power, she couldn't break through the water curtain's defense.
"Don't rush, Tiger. You hold off those six clones by yourself. Don't kill them. The more clones there are, the weaker the water curtain's defense will be. Sister Wanyue, you and I will attack the water curtain together. I don't believe that the two of us working together can't break through that damned water curtain!" Zhao Hai also issued the battle order.
"Okay!" they both nodded in agreement.
The three had just stood together when the six clones rushed towards them in a fan shape.
The king, Hu Dong, rushed towards the two "himself" and a copy of "Su Wanyue" who were at the forefront.
"Bang bang bang!"
Dull impacts rang out one after another. Wang Hu successfully blocked the attacks coming from three sides.
The other three clones bypassed Wang Hu, this "reef," and went straight for Zhao Hai and Su Wanyue!
But how could Wang Hu let them have their way!
Just as the three clones were about to pass by Wang Hu, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he roared like thunder: "Come back here, you bastards!"
With a sudden twist of his waist, his arms, which had been focused on blocking forward, suddenly spread out. Wang Hu's outstretched hands were nearly three meters long, like a roc spreading its wings or a giant python swaying its tail.
With a vicious spinning elbow strike from his left arm, accompanied by a dull whistling sound, he slammed it hard into the back of the "Zhao Hai" clone that was trying to get around him; his right leg swept out like a steel whip, with a fierce gust of wind, aiming straight for the lower body of another "Su Wanyue" clone.
Caught off guard, the two clones were hit squarely by the sudden and fierce counterattack. The "Zhao Hai" clone was knocked forward by the elbow strike and his breath hitched; the "Su Wanyue" clone was even more severely injured, her ankle was swept, and she lost her balance and almost fell over.
The third "Wang Hu" clone reacted the fastest. Seeing his companion being blocked, he immediately abandoned his original target, let out a low roar, turned around and punched Wang Hu in the waist!
Wang Hu seemed to have anticipated this. Facing this insidious punch, he neither dodged nor avoided it. He simply took a deep breath, and his abdominal muscles instantly tensed up like iron, enduring the punch head-on!
With a muffled thud, Wang Hu's body swayed slightly, his face flushed red for a moment, but he used the momentum to deflect the force. At the same time, he used the impact to spin half a circle like a top. His right leg, which had just completed the sweeping motion, became a support, while his left leg kicked out like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, striking the chest of the "Zhao Hai" clone who had been stunned by the elbow strike, kicking it back to the center of the battle!
Seeing that Wang Hu had successfully held off the six clones, Zhao Hai and Su Wanyue also kept busy.
Zhao Hai's willow wood sword transformed into thirty-six blades once more, shooting rapidly toward the bronze mirror above the well.
At this moment, the sword energy unleashed by Su Wanyue closely followed the blade formed by the willow wood sword.
Thirty-six emerald green blades, like a sudden storm, were the first to strike the rippling water curtain. With muffled splashes, the water curtain rippled violently, creating dense waves that resiliently absorbed the impact of each blade. Although it failed to break through directly, it successfully diverted and dispersed the water curtain's defensive power, causing noticeable stagnation and weaknesses in its flow.
Just as the water curtain energy was disrupted by the blades and the old force had just left and the new force had not yet been generated, Su Wanyue's extremely condensed sword energy tore through the air at just the right moment and fiercely attacked!
This blade energy wasn't a brute-force attack, but rather terrifyingly precise. It seemed to possess a life of its own, skillfully avoiding the areas of the water curtain where energy remained strong. Like a master butcher dissecting an ox, it cut fiercely into the very center of the weak ripples created by Zhao Hai's blade attack—the most minute, almost imperceptible gap in the energy flow!
"laugh--!"
A piercingly sharp tearing sound rang out.
The azure blade energy instantly plunged into the water curtain, not by force, but by using its extreme "sharpness" to rapidly advance and cut along the energy channels inside the water curtain! Wherever it passed, the supple water flow was forcibly "severed" from its energy connection, and the water curtain structure began to collapse from the inside as the azure cold light reached it.
The once seamless water curtain rapidly spread with countless spiderweb-like, eerie blue cracks, originating from the point where the blade energy entered. Chilling air emanated from these cracks, freezing and solidifying the flowing well water, completely destroying its defensive integrity.
