"Still awkward chatting? I'm practically dead already."
Lu Luo crawled out from the Red-Armored Scorpion's abdomen, blocking its path towards Gu Fangyi. Chu Qi, at this moment, was also providing support from the side, trying her best to distract the Red-Armored Scorpion.
Lu Luo continuously dodged the Red-Armored Scorpion's attacks, using the phantom pain from the Wraith Blade to inflict a certain degree of mental damage on it.
Even with the Observer's overclocking mode, his injuries, physical exhaustion, and the strain on his eyes and brain from prolonged use of the Observer made Lu Luo's movements begin to slow down.
"Clang!"
The Red-Armored Scorpion's pincer once again struck Lu Luo's arm, and the burning sensation of the fire poison entered his body.
At this moment, the Red-Armored Scorpion actually raised a hand towards Lu Luo, making a somewhat human-like gesture.
[You're going to die, you lowly ant!]
[Continuing to analyze Red-Armored Scorpion's weaknesses…]
[Student Lu Luo, your fractured ribs have punctured your internal lining, and the fire poison is spreading throughout your body at a rate of 1.1 cm per second. You have no healing or detoxification agents on you. Continuing to fight is extremely dangerous. Suggest fleeing.]
"What do you know? I may seem to be in danger now, but I'm actually as steady as an old dog… bah, bah, as steady as Mount Tai."
Such a battle was a last resort; Lu Luo had no choice. He had to dodge the scorpion tail stinger's attacks. With his current physique, he couldn't withstand a single sting from it.
But if he were to dodge the scorpion tail stinger, he would expend a lot of physical energy, because the scorpion tail stinger's attack had no room for error. He couldn't just get a graze or a bump like when dodging the pincers.
Once the scorpion tail stinger touched him, it would be certain death. Therefore, to maintain the fight against the Red-Armored Scorpion, Lu Luo could only fight very arduously.
He had to wait for Gu Fangyi. The scorpion tail stinger had already been hit multiple times by Gu Fangyi's dark energy bullets, and the carapace on it showed signs of shattering.
As long as Gu Fangyi held on for a few more shots, the Red-Armored Scorpion's scorpion tail stinger would surely break, and then it would be his chance to counterattack.
Even if Gu Fangyi failed, he still had over 40 units of backup energy, enough to use the Fuser 2-3 times. This was his chance to turn the tide of battle.
He had watched over 800 episodes of Conan and various bizarre, imaginative anime, and he had mastered over 800 methods of killing alone.
Many incredible techniques and flashy maneuvers could actually be accomplished through the Fuser. This ability to imagine and brainstorm was unmatched even by the Observer… "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Zhou Kai, holding Gu Fangyi's hand, fired a few more shots. All three shots hit, and the Red-Armored Scorpion's scorpion tail stinger was already tottering.
But Gu Fangyi's hand was already trembling uncontrollably, and Zhou Kai's hand trembled along with it.
"Hey, hey, Gu Fangyi, can you stop shaking like that? If you keep shaking, I can't hold the gun, big brother!"
"Sorry, ugh, cough cough."
As soon as Gu Fangyi apologized, he coughed up a large pool of blood, and at the same time, blood started gushing from his nostrils, showing no signs of stopping.
At this point, his vision was completely blurred, unable to see the position of the scorpion tail stinger, and his mind was in chaos, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
However, Gu Fangyi's willpower was exceptionally strong at this moment. He suppressed his cough and the pain caused by the overuse of dark energy and the erosion of fire poison, saying to Zhou Kai:
"I'm sorry, Brother Kai, I can't see anymore, but I've already injected dark energy into the last bullet for this gun.
Hold the gun steady, aim at that monster's tail, at the white indentation I shot out. I believe in you, you can do it, Brother Kai…"
Gu Fangyi was an introverted person; he rarely called people 'brother,' which was evident from his conversations with Lu Luo.
Lu Luo and Zhou Kai could casually call each other 'Brother Kai' and 'Brother Luo,' but Gu Fangyi couldn't bring himself to do it. However, this time, he actively called him 'Brother Kai,' because he truly wanted to win.
These words drained all of Gu Fangyi's strength. As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body went limp, on the verge of collapsing to the ground.
However, the silent Zhou Kai still supported Gu Fangyi's limp body and carefully placed him on the ground.
"One by one, you're all too much. Lu Luo is eyeing my Second Sequence, and now you're trying to con me too. Are you just bullying honest people?
Did honest people provoke you? One by one, you just fleece the honest people. Why don't you go find Lu Luo? Fine, fine! Who told me I'm an honest person!"
Zhou Kai grumbled, holding up the pistol Gu Fangyi had left him.
"Even though I get targeted by the dealer every day, even though my teammates often screw me over, even though my gacha pulls are always blue skies and white clouds.
But I still believe I can hit this shot, because this is the ambition of a non-chief!"
"Bang!"
With Zhou Kai's gunshot, the bullet fired from the pistol, as if its trajectory was predetermined, incredibly curved in mid-air despite not being aimed, flying towards the scorpion tail stinger.
"Ding!"
The Red-Armored Scorpion's scorpion tail stinger snapped in response, which meant that the Red-Armored Scorpion's strongest and most threatening weapon to Lu Luo had become useless.
Lu Luo, holding the Blade of Resentful Spirits, burst into laughter, leaving Chu Qi beside him utterly bewildered. They were almost dead; what was so funny? Even the Red-Armored Scorpion opposite couldn't help but react.
[Red-Armored Scorpion: What are you laughing at, you dying ant? Do you really think you can win just because my scorpion tail stinger broke? Since you're so eager to die, I'll send you to the afterlife right now.]
[It's mocking you like that, aren't you going to do something? Be useful, Xiao Luo!]
Although the Observer vehemently complained about Lu Luo, it still did its job, finding the Red-Armored Scorpion's weakness for Lu Luo.
[Red-Armored Scorpion's weaknesses have been analyzed. The first weakness is its mouthparts. Although the Red-Armored Scorpion has very sharp mouthparts, the inside of its mouthparts is very soft.
The second weakness is the seventh segment of the Red-Armored Scorpion's upper body shell. This is the starting point of its transformation into a Blue-Armored Scorpion and also its most vulnerable spot. .]
"That's enough!"
As soon as the Observer gave the first hint, Lu Luo decisively made his move. Without the rapid thrust of the scorpion tail stinger, he could now predict and dodge the Red-Armored Scorpion's attacks relatively easily.
"Hook."
[19 energy consumed for one alteration: Iron Shard - Hook]
[2 energy consumed for one alteration: Stone - Fine, suitable lime]
Lu Luo scattered a handful of lime specially made by the Fuser, temporarily blinding the Red-Armored Scorpion.
The iron shard in his left hand had been transformed by the Fuser into a dozen barbs. He threw them out, and they accurately landed in the Red-Armored Scorpion's mouth. With a sudden pull, he hooked its mouthparts.
"Hiss!" The enraged Red-Armored Scorpion thrashed wildly. Lu Luo pushed Chu Qi away from him and jumped onto the Red-Armored Scorpion's back by himself.
Chu Qi watched Lu Luo on the Red-Armored Scorpion's back, stunned and speechless, while Lu Luo had already gripped the hilt of his blade with both hands and plunged it fiercely into the seventh segment of its shell.
"Pfft!"
Finally, this fragile segment of shell was pierced through by Lu Luo's single strike, and green Red-Armored Scorpion blood spurted from the wound.
Lu Luo's hands didn't stop. He pulled out and stabbed again. After seventeen consecutive stabs, the Red-Armored Scorpion finally collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
"I told you, everything is under control!"
[Pick up the scorpion tail stinger! Pick up the scorpion tail stinger! Pick up the scorpion tail stinger! Only that is valuable, quickly pick up the scorpion tail stinger!]
Lu Luo's expression was a bit strange. Is it really that valuable? Is there a need to be so excited?
Although he was puzzled, he still picked up the scorpion tail stinger first, wrapped it in cloth, and put it in his pocket.
Then, with a swift stroke of his blade, he decapitated Yuan Jingkong, who was still entangled with the evil thought. Unfortunately, the second-order ghost species did not leave a corpse for him.
