Wolf Rush:
Level: One.
Special Effect: Consuming a mutated Stellar Soul Pearl, summon a residual shadow of a Black Demon Wolf to charge forward. The shadow possesses an attack power of one thousand points. The charge covers a distance of thirty meters and causes a 0.1-second stun. The first enemy hit will suffer the true tearing bite of the Black Demon Wolf. Each subsequent impact reduces the attack power by one hundred points until it reaches zero, at which point the skill ends.
…
Lu Yu’s second offensive skill might not deal significant damage to the Demon Ape.
However, Lu Yu focused on its charging distance and the stun effect.
At a moment like this, having an additional offensive skill meant increasing the chance of victory.
After all, the Demon Ape had a maximum health of eight thousand—twice Lu Yu’s own.
Lu Yu quietly approached the warehouse. Suddenly, the Kill Star Soul within his heart began to pulse violently.
The red glow inside the warehouse intensified, and the Demon Ape let out an excited howl.
“Could the Kill Star Soul be reacting to something inside?” Lu Yu felt the pulsing energy of the Kill Star Soul, and his blood seemed to ignite and boil.
Inside the warehouse, the Demon Ape howled, seemingly fiddling with something. Occasionally, it burst into loud laughter.
“If that’s the case, then you’re definitely not getting away,” Lu Yu whispered in delight, inching closer to the warehouse from within the bushes.
He had never imagined the Kill Star Soul would react like this.
Just for this reason alone, he was ready to risk his life this time!
As he drew closer to the warehouse, Lu Yu’s heart pounded in his chest.
In his hand, he tightly gripped a mutated Stellar Soul Pearl, eyes locked onto the warehouse doors.
Before the entrance, a man missing an arm and a leg groaned in pain, crawling toward the bushes with his remaining limb.
The red glow inside the warehouse gradually faded, but the Kill Star Soul within Lu Yu continued to pulse without any sign of stopping.
The Demon Ape stepped out of the warehouse. Seeing the nearly escaped “meal,” it strode over and grabbed the man, saying, “Isn’t running painful? Just let me eat you and you’ll suffer less.”
The Demon Ape laughed and turned back.
The moment it turned around—
“Crack!”
Lu Yu crushed the mutated Stellar Soul Pearl!
“Now!”
Lu Yu leapt up.
From his body, a pitch-black wolf shadow burst forth.
Exactly like a real Black Demon Wolf, the shadow lunged from Lu Yu’s body straight at the Demon Ape.
“Another human trying to ambush me!” The Demon Ape roared furiously, twisting its body and swinging the captured man like a club toward the wolf shadow.
“Boom!”
The wolf shadow slammed into the half-dead man, shattering his nearly lifeless body.
The first impact struck flesh, consuming the stun effect.
Now with only nine hundred attack points, the wolf shadow hit the Demon Ape but instantly dissipated, dealing only ten points of basic damage.
For a creature with eight thousand maximum health, the damage was negligible.
At the same time, Lu Yu had already rushed to the Demon Ape, his Soul Gathering Hand spread wide, aiming for the creature’s arm.
“It’s you!” The Demon Ape recognized Lu Yu immediately, revealing its fangs in laughter. “You actually came to die on your own! Are you with those people from yesterday? You humans never learn!”
The Demon Ape raised its claw and slashed toward Lu Yu.
Lu Yu didn’t flinch, letting the claw strike his shoulder as his Soul Gathering Hand clamped down hard on the Demon Ape’s arm.
“Boom!”
The Demon Ape’s strike only reduced Lu Yu’s health by ten points.
But Lu Yu saw the special effect of his Silver Armor activate—his maximum health and current health instantly increased by five hundred points.
His health and maximum health now exceeded five thousand.
“What?” The Demon Ape stared at the damage number in shock. It hadn’t expected that in just a few days, this human could withstand its blow.
“Haha, understand now? I’m afraid you won’t hit me, because the more you hit me, the happier I get!” Lu Yu clenched his fingers, the eagle-claw hooks on the Soul Gathering Hand digging deep into the Demon Ape’s arm muscles.
Then, he pulled downward with all his might.
“You still think I’m the same as a few days ago?” The Demon Ape’s arm bulged with veins as its muscles tensed, turning into blocks of iron.
The hooks on Lu Yu’s fingers only managed to tear small wounds, unlike last time when chunks of flesh were ripped away.
Still, the Soul Gathering Hand’s special effect activated—three hundred and ten points of damage, plus ten points of additional damage.
“Boom!”
The Demon Ape retracted its arm and punched, sending Lu Yu flying backward.
Lu Yu’s health increased again, reaching five thousand five hundred.
“Data reconstruction complete.”
“Demon Ape: Adult. Level: One. Attributes: Maximum health nine thousand, attack one thousand eight hundred, toughness one thousand seven hundred. Skill: Rampage Strike—consumes one thousand health instantly to boost attack by one thousand points. The next attack will not only deal damage but also stun the enemy for one second!”
The data instantly appeared before Lu Yu’s eyes, completely different from the previous Demon Ape’s stats.
“Damn it, this data isn’t right!”
With the Silver Armor and reinforced blood shield, his toughness exceeded two thousand. Otherwise, that punch would have taken away half his life.
Last time, wielding a stone club, the Demon Ape’s stats weren’t this high.
Now, without a weapon, all his stats had surpassed the previous encounter.
“You don’t know that adult Demon Apes grow stronger?” The Demon Ape laughed and turned toward the warehouse.
Lu Yu knew exactly what the Demon Ape intended to do—
Grab the stone club and use Rampage Strike. He would be crushed instantly.
Especially since his attack power was barely one thousand five hundred, still insufficient to kill the Demon Ape.
Yet, feeling the pulsing Kill Star Soul within him and thinking of the warehouse full of food and the Rampage Strike, Lu Yu’s eyes gleamed with determination.
“I’m going all in.”
Lu Yu gritted his teeth, making his decision.
He had finally found this place—it was pure luck.
If he missed this chance, when Lu Shan and the others returned, he would have no more opportunities.
He had been busy all night, collecting over one hundred and fifty Stellar Soul Pearls on his person.
Fifteen uses of the Kill Impact—
If even that couldn’t kill the Demon Ape, then he deserved to die here.
Lu Yu crushed another mutated Stellar Soul Pearl in his hand.
Once again, a wolf shadow burst from his body.
The Demon Ape turned around and threw a punch!
“Boom!”
The wolf shadow scattered, and the Demon Ape’s body stiffened.
A 0.1-second stun.
Lu Yu had already reached the Demon Ape’s front.
He was a head shorter than the beast.
As he looked up, the Demon Ape had already regained consciousness.
0.1 seconds wasn’t long.
The Demon Ape stared at Lu Yu in shock, surprised that his skill could cause a stun.
The moment it recovered, it sensed danger.
But it was a step too late.
Lu Yu had already leapt.
He placed both hands on the Demon Ape’s head, and with a vicious knee strike, smashed into the beast’s protruding mouth.
At the same time, ten Stellar Soul Pearls on his body shattered into starlight.
Kill Impact—this skill causes a one-second stun and reduces the enemy’s health by an additional three hundred points beyond attack damage.
“One second is enough!”
Lu Yu landed the strike, watching the Demon Ape freeze in place. As he landed, his left hand formed a blade-like shape, and a cold gleam shimmered between his fingers.
“Shsh!”
His palm sliced across the Demon Ape’s throat.
Like a blade cutting through flesh, blood spurted from the beast’s neck.
Its windpipe was severed, and its throat bone exposed.
As this strike concluded, the Demon Ape also snapped out of its stun.
It felt the pain.
With every breath, blood spewed from its neck.
The Demon Ape tried to scream in agony but couldn’t make a sound.
Its eyes turned blood-red, and suddenly its muscles bulged, veins writhing along its arms.
“Rampage Strike.”
Lu Yu felt his scalp tingle instantly.
He had guessed the Demon Ape was about to go berserk.
Ten mutated Stellar Soul Pearls on his body exploded, initiating another Kill Impact.
But at that very moment, the Demon Ape’s fist also came crashing toward him.
“Boom!”
Lu Yu’s legs kicked into the Demon Ape’s throat, while the Demon Ape’s fist slammed into his body.
The Demon Ape froze mid-strike, and Lu Yu instantly lost all sensation.
For one second, he felt as if he had fallen into darkness—no pain, no feeling.
When he snapped out of the stun, he had already been thrown more than ten meters away. A fist-sized indentation was slowly rising on his chest.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Warning: Received attack, lost one thousand five hundred health points.”
“Damn it! Rampage Strike actually costs one thousand five hundred health points!” Lu Yu was nearly driven mad.
Although his third strike had increased his health by another five hundred points, that one punch had wiped out all of it.
This Demon Ape’s attack was just too brutal.
A thousand for a thousand.
Lu Yu knew the Demon Ape had also suffered nearly one thousand points of damage from his three strikes, and its Rampage Strike had cost it another thousand points.
Still, the Demon Ape’s health remained above seven thousand.
If the Demon Ape decided to fight to the death with him, Lu Yu’s health wouldn’t last long enough to outlast it.
Lu Yu was afraid, and the Demon Ape was equally shocked.
Just two days ago, this human was a helpless weakling in its hands.
Now, he had become someone capable of fighting back.
With human intelligence, the Demon Ape understood that killing this human wouldn’t be easy.
Therefore, the moment it recovered from the stun, the Demon Ape dashed toward the warehouse entrance.
Its stone club was still there.
With a star weapon, killing this human would be much easier.
Lu Yu, of course, knew exactly what the Demon Ape intended.
If it grabbed the star weapon, he would be in serious trouble.
“You bastard! You really think I’m not here, daring to turn your back on me like that!” Lu Yu roared, instantly crushing seven Stellar Soul Pearls in his palm.
“Boom!”
Seven wolf shadows nearly burst from his body at the same time, charging toward the Demon Ape.
