Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

A chilling killing intent emanated from the tall man, and the smile on his face finally vanished.

Chapter 120 The Bizarre Battle

After the tall man's smile disappeared, his already stiff face looked even more eerie.

His large eyes were fixed on Luo Xiu, and his already dull, grayish-blue face seemed to have lost even more color.

"You won't let me take him with me?"

The man no longer used the "hehe" sound.

"You won't let me take him with me?"

He repeated it over and over, his voice getting louder and louder, but his tone remained unchanged, which was not the behavior of a normal person at all.

This made Luo Xiu even more certain that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.

A whooshing sound rang out in the air, like the rapid whipping of some thin twig, and the sound grew louder with each repetition by the man.

Luo Xiu delivered a powerful palm strike to Alger's neck, knocking him unconscious. He then darted forward and attacked the tall man first.

The tall man watched Luo Xiu rush towards him, his stiff expression unchanged. He raised his hands, and from his golden sleeves, eight or nine tentacle-like vines danced and surged forth.

The "whoosh whoosh whoosh!" sounds in the air are the popping sounds made by these tentacle-like objects moving rapidly.

The tentacles wrapped around Luo Xiu as he rushed forward. Luo Xiu swung his dagger, but he couldn't cut the tentacles off directly. Instead, as before, they stopped as if they had hit some kind of hard metal, producing a metallic sound.

Even a brief pause was enough for Luo Xiu, who passed directly between the three tentacles and instantly approached the tall man.

The dagger in his hand slashed down fiercely!

bass!

A silvery-white line appeared from the top of the man's head to his chest.

The man did not collapse as expected; in fact, no blood gushed out, only dark blood slowly seeped from the wound.

Luo Xiu looked at the strange wound and could vaguely see a large amount of filamentous material in the middle.

It was this filamentous substance that held the man's cleaved body together tightly, and also tightly bound the blade that Luo Xiu had slashed down, preventing it from descending further.

Luo Xiu tried to increase the force of his grip, but more tentacles attacked from behind. He had no choice but to release the dagger in his hand, shift his body to the side to avoid the tentacles' entanglement, and then punch the man in the head.

boom! !

The man's head was hit with a heavy thud and tilted to one side.

Luo Xiu looked at the fist he had just thrown, his expression growing increasingly serious.

wrong.

It doesn't feel right.

He had used this fist to fight too many people and monsters, and knew what a normal punch would feel like.

The blow to the tall man in front of him, although he heard the cracking sound of bones in the man's head, felt more like hitting a soft, rotten mass of flesh. The cracking sound of bones was just the rotten white bone wrapped in the flesh.

What exactly is this thing?

Looking at the man whose head was completely tilted to the side, Luo Xiu didn't hesitate. He touched the ground with his feet, turned to the side, and threw a punch.

He knew the man was definitely not dead.

And it turned out exactly as he had predicted.

As his fist approached the man's body, the man's previously distorted head strangely straightened, and the wound on his body, which had been cut by the dagger, gradually healed and disappeared with a rustling sound.

The man opened his mouth as he watched the fist swinging towards him.

Boom!! The man's face was smashed so hard it caved in, but with that one blow, a large amount of dandelion-like substance gushed from the man's mouth, covering Luo Xiu's fist.

The tops of those substances were thick like open flowers, while the bottoms were sharp like thorns. As soon as they came into contact with Luo Xiu's fist, dense roots grew from their sharp ends and pierced Luo Xiu's skin.

As the roots took hold, Luo Xiu felt a slight tingling sensation in his fist. He could feel the roots trying to penetrate his skin and burrow into his flesh, but they were blocked halfway in and could not go any further.

Luo Xiu shook his hand, and the "dandelions" on the back of his hand fell off one by one.

At that moment, the man's face recovered again. Although the clear fist marks and wounds were still visible, the original dents had healed considerably.

"You're bad, you're terrible!"

Although the man's eyes still looked lifeless, for the first time they showed anger.

The tentacles extending from his sleeves wrapped around the walls on both sides, and with a forceful pull, they lifted his body directly into the air.

Not only that, the tentacles continued to exert force, pulling his arms violently to both sides.

He looks like he's being suspended in mid-air and about to be dismembered.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu was naturally not foolish enough to think that the tall man was going to commit suicide. His eyes flashed with scrutiny. Seeing that the light on the tall man's body did not change, he conjured a dark broadsword in his hand, stomped his foot on the ground, and leaped up to slash at the tall man.

Just as the sword was about to cleave the tall man's body in two, the tentacles on both sides of the tall man suddenly exerted force.

"Tear--"

With a tearing sound, Luo Xiu's sword fell to the ground, missing its target.

He turned his head and looked up at the tall man in the sky with some surprise.

More accurately, they were looking at "two" tall men in the sky.

Just moments ago, the tall man's tentacles on both sides tore his body in two, causing Luo Xiu's figure to pass right through the middle.

This is also why his sword missed its mark.

In the short time it took Luo Xiu to turn his head, the tall man's body, which had been torn in two, turned into two identical tall men!

Apart from both of them looking a bit paler than before the tear, they looked exactly the same as before.

Two tall men clung to the wall with their tentacles, their blank eyes fixed on Luo Xiu.

The next second, tentacles simultaneously extended from their sleeves, wrapping around Luo Xiu!

Looking at the tentacles filling the sky, Luo Xiu, having already come into contact with them many times, knew that these tentacles only appeared soft but were actually extremely hard. Once entangled, the outcome was unpredictable. So he changed his strategy and ran straight towards the tall man on his right.

He was incredibly fast, appearing at the base of the wall on the right in just a second or two.

The tall man on the right controlled his tentacles to attack him, but because of the distance, the tentacles of the tall man on the left hadn't reached him yet. Luo Xiu seized this opportunity and his figure swept through them, appearing directly in front of the tall man on the right.

Now that he understood the incredible resilience of the male body, he placed both hands on either side of the man's head on the right side and then exerted tremendous force!

boom!

The man on the right's head instantly deflated, and as Luo Xiu had predicted, no blood splattered from his head, only dark red blood slowly flowed out.

When Luo Xiu slashed the man's body with a dagger, he noticed that no matter what kind of injury the man suffered, his blood would not splatter like that of a normal person.

This phenomenon is likely due to insufficient blood volume in the man's body.

The shriveling of the man's head now proves this point once again.

Behind him, the waving tentacles attacked Luo Xiu again, seemingly unaffected by the tall man's head injury.

Looking at the flattened man's head in his hand, Luo Xiu decided to go all out and suddenly exerted force to pull it upwards.

"Boom——"

Like a rubber cork being pushed out of sparkling wine, the man's head was ripped off.

At the broken neck, Luo Xiu saw those strange, filamentous substances again.

They were bright red and connected between the neck and the head. Luo Xiu could feel those filamentous substances contracting forcefully, trying to reattach the head to the neck. It seemed that as long as the head was reconnected, the man could come back to life.

Luo Xiu naturally wouldn't give it that chance again. His dark broadsword reappeared in his hand, and he slashed straight through.

As the blood-red threads were severed, the tentacles that had emerged from the man's sleeves seemed to lose their power, instantly going limp and falling to the ground.

Chapter 121 The Money-Making Casino

As the man's body fell, Luo Xiu heard a system notification sound that was completely different from before.

[Host has slain a Tier 4 Mushroom Monster (Modified/Incomplete), Points +25]

[Host has defeated the mushroom monster for the first time, +1 point]

As expected, it was a demon. Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed.

Behind him, the tall man on the left had vanished without a trace. The corpse of the tall man on the right, which had fallen to the ground, seemed to disintegrate instantly due to some force, turning into strands of blood-red threads that scattered in an instant.

Luo Xiu's expression changed, and he reached out to grab it, but only managed to grasp a thin strand of bright red silk.

The other parts of the corpses completely disappeared without a trace, and even the clothes they were wearing seemed to have been instantly eroded away by those filamentous substances.

It was as if the tall man had never appeared at all.

Luo Xiu remained silent and carefully put away the thin strand of silk.

Monsters have indeed appeared in Kanriel City, and they are the kind of monsters that no one has ever heard of before.

Nika had once told him that there was only one kind of monster in Kanriel, the Demon Bat, and this seemed to have been confirmed since they entered the city.

No matter who you are in Kanriel, when talking about monsters, the first thing that comes to mind is the Demon Bat.

I've never heard of any so-called mushroom monster.

None of the alchemy books he read mentioned such a monster.

Moreover, judging from the system's notification sound, this tall man is not a normal mushroom monster; his full name is Mushroom Monster Modified Incomplete.

It's understandable that Luo Xiu was injured; after all, the tall man had used some kind of skill to split himself in two, and he only managed to kill one of them.

Luo Xiu couldn't figure out what the word "change" meant for a while.

"Mushroom... mushroom..."

Luo Xiu thought of the mushroom disease outside the city. Those who contracted the mushroom disease had large patches of red mushrooms parasitizing their bodies. It was also related to mushrooms, but it looked completely different from the tall man from before.

He had also killed a man with mushroom disease without any system notification, indicating that people infected with mushroom disease were not considered monsters.

Is there any connection between the two?

They originally thought that as long as they could subdue this tall man, all the problems would be solved. However, they were now even more confused than before, in addition to confirming that monsters had appeared in Kanriel City.

Luo Xiu sighed.
