Lu Luo touched his chest. Luckily, the ghoul's attack was just a collision. If it had been a claw attack, the damage would have been incalculable, and blood loss and cold were both extremely nasty negative statuses.
As Lu Luo was tending to his wound, the ghoul charged at him again. Just as he was about to raise his arm to block, his body stiffened once more.
"You still haven't answered my question, Lu Luo."
The disgust of the ghost-type was more outrageous than Lu Luo had imagined, but this time, he was prepared.
The sharpened machete had already been thrown, and the ghoul, having been damaged several times by the machete, hesitated. Although it had no brain, it still had survival instincts.
A few seconds later, Lu Luo finally broke free from Yuan Jingkong's restraint. He rushed out of the door and into the room outside.
The warm environment outside quickly restored his body.
The space here was large enough that even if Yuan Jingkong wanted to lower the temperature here, it would be unlikely. Even if it could, the cost would not be small.
Although he was temporarily safe, Lu Luo had lost his weapon. Facing a second-order deformed creature empty-handed, even with his strong physique, he wouldn't stand a chance.
"What are you going to do now? Close-quarters combat with a second-order Xenomorph is not a rational idea. I advise you not to do it. If you try to punch it, it'll be like a tiny fist pounding your chest."
Lu Luo's face darkened. Although the Observer was useful, it kept giving him sarcastic prompts from time to time, which was truly annoying.
The ghoul had already charged at him. Its claws grazed his forehead, and as a few broken hairs floated in Lu Luo's vision, the second claw came.
Lu Luo dodged the opponent's claw attacks more than a dozen times, and during that time, he also retaliated with his fists a few times.
But this kind of attack was meaningless to a deformed creature. Just as the Observer prompted, it was like a tiny fist pounding its chest.
4 points of strength were indeed powerful for an ordinary person, but he was facing an Xenomorph .
Moreover, he only had pure physical strength and had not mastered dark energy, so the damage he inflicted on the alien species was even less.
Lu Luo scanned his surroundings but found nothing that could be transformed into a weapon by the Integrator, and even if there were, his current energy level was insufficient.
While thinking, he dodged the ghoul's claws. Lu Luo had already started to give up attacking and tried to conserve his stamina.
"If I use steel wire, it's not impossible, but steel wire has more requirements for the geographical environment, and with my remaining energy, I can only perform one relatively precise operation.
Forget it, let's try the steel wire! Besides this method, there are no other options right now."
"Yuan Jingkong is approaching. Fortunately, its movement speed is very slow. This kind of low-level spirit-type ghost doesn't have the ability to move at high speed.
Run, Lu Luo, if you don't shake off Yuan Jingkong, you'll just have to wait for death here."
"Got it!"
Lu Luo kicked the ghoul away, turned his head, and ran towards a pillar on the staircase.
Although the pillar didn't have the same destructive power as a staircase, it offered more opportunities and fewer restrictions.
His strength was now far greater than before. As long as he could successfully strangle it, he wouldn't need the inertia and impact of the stairwell.
Lu Luo stood beside the pillar and beckoned to the ghoul.
"Come here, watch me kill you today!"
（｀ Δ ′）
Normally, ghouls wouldn't have emotions like anger, but perhaps Lu Luo's expression was too vivid. After hearing Lu Luo's provocation, the ghoul immediately roared and charged over.
"It's coming! It's coming! It's walking over!"
Lu Luo, with confidence, dodged the opponent's attack with a quick sidestep, stepped on the ghoul's thigh, and wrapped his hands around its neck.
"Steel wire!"
"7 energy consumed for one object transformation: iron sheet - steel wire."
After the thin steel wire wrapped around the ghoul's neck, Lu Luo immediately tightened it. He wrapped the other end of the steel wire around the pillar and used the Integrator once again.
"Gears."
"12 energy consumed for one object transformation: iron sheet - gears."
Just like that, a new lever-gear-steel wire rope appeared in Lu Luo's hand. He tightened the steel wire and ran at full speed, using the same method he had used to kill the mechanical shark last time.
"Crack!"
Soon, he heard the sound of something rolling. It was the sound of the ghoul's head falling off.
"Lu Luo, your combat skills are becoming more and more refined. It's a pity there's no S-rank combat evaluation reward. I'll give you a thumbs up first!
Oh, wait, what's that sound? To your front left, another little cutie has appeared. Given your current state, how about we run?"
"Again?"
Lu Luo, who had just killed the ghoul, hadn't had time to deal with the corpse or recover energy, and a second ghoul appeared!
Now, his physical strength, energy, and condition were all extremely poor. The Observer was right; this time, he was truly ready to run.
"Haa~" The ghoul charged straight at Lu Luo. As luck would have it, Yuan Jingkong also followed at this moment.
Although it didn't entangle Lu Luo's entire body this time, it did entangle one of Lu Luo's legs.
"Lu Luo, I've come to find you again!" Yuan Jingkong's voice appeared in his ear once more.
"Get lost!" Lu Luo was annoyed by Yuan Jingkong. He was truly powerless against this kind of spirit monster right now.
Lu Luo clenched his fists tightly. At this distance, he no longer had time to think about how to break free from Yuan Jingkong. He had to face the ghoul's impending claws.
He tightened the iron wire in his fingertips. If there was a second one, then so be it. After killing this guy, he should have enough energy to synthesize the Blade of Resentment.
Staring at the ghoul, Lu Luo began to consider the angle for a throat-slash.
"Are you planning to give up defense and dodging? The deformed creature's attack power is very strong; you'd better think carefully."
"At this point, it's only possible to trade injuries for a kill. Although it's a bit dangerous, it's the most efficient way. Only by killing the ghoul can I figure out how to deal with Yuan Jingkong."
Lu Luo temporarily stopped breathing and calmly observed the ghoul's attack angle, recalling the feeling he had when he activated the Observer's overclocked state. UU Reading www.uukan shu.net
His originally sharp eyes narrowed further and further until he suddenly opened them wide.
"On the left!"
Lu Luo twisted his body awkwardly, allowing the ghoul's claws to pierce his right shoulder. At the same time, his arm wrapped around the ghoul's neck.
He had no energy left now, so this time, he had to rely on himself!
"Whoosh!"
The steel wire instantly tightened. Lu Luo, who had just broken free from Yuan Jingkong's restraint, did a split in the air, pressing the tips of both feet against the steel wire.
With the added force from his hands, the steel wire bit into the ghoul's flesh around its neck.
The ghoul's elongated tongue constantly scraped across Lu Luo's face. Soon, Lu Luo's face was covered in blood, looking extremely ferocious.
"Die!"
Lu Luo cut his hands. The steel wire was already against his hand bones, and he finally severed the ghoul's head, killing another one.
"Phew! Only one left."
Compared to the ghoul, Yuan Jingkong's ability, though strange, didn't inflict any substantial physical damage, and its movement speed was very slow. Facing it alone, the danger wasn't actually great.
Just as he was about to search for the ghoul, Chu Qi's voice came from a distance.
"Lu Luo, let me!"
"From her angle, she probably can't see that the ghoul is already dead. She probably wants to be a hero saving a beauty. Don't misunderstand, the hero here refers to the girl named Chu Qi, and the beauty refers to you."
As soon as Lu Luo stepped aside, four consecutive gunshots rang out, "Bang bang bang bang," each shot accurately hitting the ghoul. As blood splattered, the ghoul's headless body fell to the ground.
"Chu Qi should be from Blue sky Pharmaceutical, right? Why would she come to help me?" Lu Luo was a little puzzled.
