Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 13 The Stone Monster! A stone monster?

Although Wu Junyi gave all the weapons here to Huang Hong, having too many weapons is not very useful, especially with limited ammunition.

Therefore, Huang Hong ultimately decided to only take the Desert Eagle and the Tang Sword.

Now that the decision has been made, the most important thing right now is to upgrade these two weapons to rare quality.

Using the All-Enhancing technique cost 38 and 27 points of Source Energy respectively. In addition to the increase in base power, the attributes of the two weapons also changed to some extent.

The bullets fired by the Desert Eagle now have an explosive effect, making them more lethal; the Tang sword has become even sharper, and the "cutting" attribute no longer causes deeper wounds, but instead adds an invisible wind blade to the blade.

Huang Hong hadn't verified the Desert Eagle's bullet effect, but he had tested the Tang sword's invisible wind blade, which was about three inches long, or 10 centimeters. Moreover, the sharpness of the invisible wind blade was comparable to that of the blade itself.

The new equipment boosted Huang Hong's confidence, and he wanted to find some monsters he could handle to fight.

Speaking of which, Huang Hong suddenly remembered the enormous thing he had seen in the distance when he passed by Skyline Garden Plaza before.

Without hesitation, Huang Hong headed towards the Garden Square.

When they encountered a monster on the road, Huang Hong took out his new weapon and gave it a try.

Although the Tang sword was not the spear he was used to, it was still a fairly simple and easy-to-use weapon. Huang Hong didn't have many fancy moves; he just used the simplest slashing techniques, aiming for the monster's weak points.

After arriving at the destination, Huang Hong had already become familiar with the basic usage of the Tang sword.

"Boom! ~ Boom! ~ Boom! ~..."

The violent, rhythmic vibrations came from a three-meter-tall stone monster that was constantly moving.

This stone monster has a humanoid appearance and looks quite exquisite, as if it was carefully sculpted. It wears a rock armor, which makes its overall figure appear even more massive.

The stone monster seems to have no self-awareness; it simply moves within a certain range according to some program. Anyone who enters its range, whether human or monster, will be attacked by it, as can be seen from the various corpses scattered along its path.

Huang Hong set his sights on the stone monsters, not only because of their intrinsic value, but also because of the monsters' corpses.

Although some of these monsters have been dead for a long time and their extraordinary power has certainly diminished considerably, they still serve as a supplement to some extent.

Huang Hong switched the loaded item to a Tang sword. To deal with such a tough and tough guy, he naturally needed to increase his attack power.

"Aha!~"

Huang Hong suddenly jumped out and provoked the stone monster.

The stone monster immediately looked at Huang Hong and walked towards him step by step.

During this process, Huang Hong's eager expression gradually stiffened. When a colossal object, the size of a small building, moved towards you, it was indeed filled with a terrifying sense of oppression.

Huang Hong admitted that he had chickened out a bit and shouldn't have acted so impulsively.

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment, and Huang Hong did not turn around and run away. After all, he had come all this way, and he had to make a few cuts.

Moreover, Huang Hong had already calculated this when he observed the stone monster. The stone monster's movement speed and attack speed were quite slow. Normally, as long as he was careful, he could kill it without taking any damage. At worst, the stone monster wouldn't be able to catch him if he ran away.

With this thought in mind, Huang Hong regained his confidence and charged straight toward the stone monster.

After this period of fighting, Huang Hong is no longer a college student who can't even kill a chicken. Instead, he has unknowingly transformed into a qualified soldier with basic combat skills.

Huang Hong arrived at the outermost edge of the stone monster's attack range. When the latter stretched out its right hand to grab him, he quickly flashed to its right side and slashed at the stone monster's arm with his Tang sword.

The purpose of this strike was not to injure, but to test the stone monster's defensive capabilities. If the strike didn't even break its skin, there was no need to fight anymore; he could simply switch his loading item to sneakers and run away.

Fortunately, things didn't go as badly as they should have. The stone monster was indeed strong and had high defense, but Huang Hong's Tang sword was equally sharp and could easily break through its defenses.

With one slash, a sizable wound was cut into the stone monster's arm. If all of Huang Hong's attacks had landed in the same spot, it would have taken only eight or nine slashes to sever its arm.

After confirming the offensive and defensive positions of both sides, Huang Hong calmed down and kept circling the stone monster, while focusing his attacks on its legs. Although this method was "ugly", it was safe and effective.

Monsters are nothing to worry about chivalry or honor; use whatever despicable means you want!

The battle turned out to be even simpler than Huang Hong had anticipated. Just over ten minutes later, he severed one of the stone monster's legs.

The stone monster lying on the ground was even more powerless to resist Huang Hong's "tyranny." A few minutes later, its two arms and another leg were also torn off.

Looking at the stone monster lying on the ground, unable to move its limbs, Huang Hong wiped his sweat and a happy smile appeared on his face.

The other monster corpses were just extras; in Huang Hong's mind, the stone monster was the most important.

Don't forget how he got the [Elemental Core (Earth)]!

This stone monster doesn't look like a normal life form; it might be a similar elemental creature, perhaps even possessing a core within its body.

Thinking this, Huang Hong prepared to cut the stone monster's body.

Logically speaking, if a stone monster has a core, then the core is its true form. In other words, if it is cut in half, the part that remains active contains the core.

Following this line of thought, the next step is quite simple: just keep cutting the material from largest to smallest, which is also the most effortless solution.

Huang Hong also considered using the enhanced perspective of the Myriad Phenomena to observe it, but unlike the Mud Monster, the Stone Monster emitted a pale green light all over and did not have any particularly outstanding features.

This is also the fundamental reason why he cannot determine whether the stone monster has a core inside its body.

Huang Hong started directly from the stone monster's head and chopped it off.

As a result, something unexpected happened to Huang Hong: the stone monster seemed to lose its life, its head and body simultaneously becoming lifeless, cracks appeared, and it finally disintegrated into pieces of varying sizes.

Huang Hong searched again, unwilling to give up, but still couldn't find the so-called core, and could only accept the result.

After sighing, just as Huang Hong was about to activate his decomposition ability to break the stone monster down into source energy, a sudden flash of inspiration made him stop.

After a moment's thought, Huang Hong took out the [Elemental Core (Earth)] and threw it onto the stone monster's body.

Instantly, streams of earth elemental energy rapidly flowed through the stone monster's body, and the fragments began to disintegrate and merge. Before long, a smaller stone monster was born.

At that very moment, Huang Hong felt a new connection appear in his mind, through which he could control the actions of the smaller stone monster.

PS: The Stone Golem is actually very simple. It is a basic golem unit with no elemental core. It only has a solidification spell. When its body is severely damaged, the solidification spell will naturally dissipate.
