Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Mad Stone Attack Causes the Berserk Beast to Retreat in Desperate Struggle
At the critical moment, the giant beast's massive claw, accompanied by a whooshing sound, resembled a towering mountain, slamming down on Luo Qingci with earth-shattering force. The air itself hissed under the pressure of the impact. But Luo Qingci seemed frozen in place, oblivious to the deadly threat above her. With her rear end sticking out, she frantically rummaged through the pile of rocks, muttering, "Where's my precious 'Exorcising Stone'? Show yourself! Don't let it slip at this crucial moment! This big oaf, wait till I find the stone, I'll beat you to a pulp!" At this moment, her brows were furrowed, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and only one thought occupied her mind: she had to find the most suitable stone to deliver a fatal blow to this big oaf.
Just as the giant claw was about to smash her into a pulp, Luo Qingci suddenly straightened up, as if springy, her hand tightly gripping a sharp-edged stone. Her eyes were as resolute as a warrior heading into battle, burning with a do-or-die spirit. A confident yet crazed smile played on her lips, as if declaring to the world, "This round, I've already won! When I, Luo Qingci, take action, there's nothing I can't handle!"
"Go to hell!" she yelled, letting out a roar like a lion, gathering all her strength in her arm and hurling the stone with all her might toward the giant beast's eye. The stone seemed possessed by a war god, drawing a sharp black line through the air that could pierce through time and space, striking the giant beast squarely in the left eye with a "thud."
"Awooo!" The giant beast let out a heart-wrenching scream, the sound echoing through the valley. Its massive body shook violently as if it were drunk, its left paw instinctively covering its injured eye. Blood gushed from between its thick toes, splashing onto the ground with a "pitter-patter" sound, kicking up a cloud of choking dust.
"Haha, does it hurt now? Serves you right for daring to act tough in front of me! Now you know what's what!" Luo Qingci stood with her hands on her hips, laughing so hard she almost fell over, her smugness practically overflowing, practically screaming "I'm the boss!" Her eyes narrowed to slits, her dimples nearly popping out as she grinned, winking at the giant beast: "How's it going, you big oaf? Do you regret messing with me?" But in her heart, she thought: "Hmph, you're a long shot when it comes to fighting me! Today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget, and show you that Luo Qingci isn't someone to be trifled with! I haven't even used all my medical and poison skills yet, and I've already beaten you to this state. If you dare to be arrogant again, you'll regret it!"
"You big oaf, you think you can arm wrestle with me? Go back and cultivate for a few hundred more years, maybe then you'll have a chance!" She mocked mercilessly, while deftly picking up a few more stones, tossing them up and down in her hand, weighing them in her hands with practiced ease, looking every bit like a seasoned, top-tier slinger. At that moment, the image of the giant beast kneeling and begging for mercy flashed through her mind, and she almost burst out laughing. Her smile widened, and she muttered to herself, "Let's see how arrogant you are then, you'll have to obey my commands!"
The behemoth was utterly enraged, its reason instantly consumed by fury. Ignoring the excruciating pain in its eyes, it shook its head wildly like a rattle-drum, then opened its blood-red maw and "whoosh!" spewed a torrent of scorching flames at the Luoqing porcelain. The flames, carrying rolling waves of heat, instantly turned grass and trees to ashes as if they had encountered death, and the ground sizzled and steamed.
Luo Qingci's eyes narrowed, and the hairs on her body stood on end. Like a black lightning bolt, she darted behind a nearby boulder. Flames grazed her clothes, sizzling and charring a large patch, filling the air with a pungent, burnt smell. "Damn, this big oaf actually did it! He almost roasted me like a beggar's chicken!" She patted her chest, secretly relieved that she had reacted quickly; she was just a hair's breadth away from being finished. She pouted and muttered under her breath, "Hmph, you think you can burn me to death? You're not quite there yet. After I'm done with you, I'll figure out how to cure your fire-breathing problem!"
"Hmph, you think you can scare me like that? How naive! You're still too green!" Luo Qingci poked her head out from behind the boulder, like a mischievous little monkey, making an exaggerated face at the giant beast, her tongue sticking out long, her eyes wide open, and rolling her eyes dramatically. Then, she switched into a frenzied attack mode, hurling stones at the beast one after another like cannonballs. As she threw, she muttered to herself, "I'll smash you into a pig's head and show you my power! My stone magic isn't just for show; today I'll smash you until you piss your butt!"
Stones rained down on the giant beast like a dense storm, the sounds of "bang, bang" echoing incessantly, dull yet powerful. The beast was dazed and disoriented, staggering like a drunkard who had drunk ten kilograms of liquor, swaying left and right, almost collapsing flat on its back.
"Let's see how long you can hold out! I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget today!" Luo Qingci frantically threw stones while rapidly calculating her next move. Her eyes scanned her surroundings like searchlights, and suddenly, a huge slope piled with stones of all sizes caught her eye. In an instant, an even crazier, more exciting plan flashed through her mind. She almost jumped for joy, her eyes gleaming, fists clenched, and she bounced around a couple of times, thinking, "Heh heh, you big oaf, you're in for it now! I'll bury you in this pile of stones! This is what you call strategic planning and decisive victory! Just you wait and see!"
"You big oaf, just wait and see! Today is your doomsday!" Luo Qingci's lips curled into a wicked smile, a smile more cunning than a sly little fox. Then, like a gust of wind, she dashed down the slope. Reaching the bottom, she grabbed a large rock with both hands, her face flushed red like a ripe tomato. With all her might, she shouted, "One, two, one, one, two, one," and pushed it down the slope. The veins in her arms bulged from the effort, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but she gritted her teeth, her eyes resolute, showing no sign of backing down.
The large rock rolled rapidly down the slope, its speed increasing rapidly, creating a whooshing sound. Then, she used both her hands and feet to push several more rocks, and in an instant, the rocks on the slope surged towards the giant beast like a raging torrent, a scene resembling a stampede of a thousand horses.
The behemoth hadn't recovered from the previous attack when it was suddenly bombarded by a "rain of stones," leaving it completely disoriented, its head probably filled with stars. Stones kept hitting it, and it roared angrily, its voice filled with frustration and resentment, but it had nowhere to hide. It could only spin around in place like a headless fly, its massive body knocking the surrounding trees askew.
"Haha, how does it feel? Pretty satisfying, right? Isn't it amazing!" Luo Qingci stood on the slope, watching the giant beast battered and bruised by the rocks, laughing until tears streamed down her face. Her stomach cramped, and she clutched her belly, nearly losing her balance and tumbling down the slope. She laughed so hard she bent over, shouting, "You big oaf, you've finally met your match! Keep jumping around! If you keep jumping, I'll smash you into a stone statue!"
However, the behemoth was, after all, a creature with thick hide and tenacious vitality. With its cockroach-like resilience, it gradually stabilized itself amidst the frenzied baptism of the "rain of stones." It let out another earth-shattering roar, a sound that seemed capable of shattering the heavens, and then charged menacingly towards the slope where Luo Qingci was located, as if it intended to flatten the entire slope, leaving deep footprints in the ground.
"What?! Again? This giant is really unkillable!" Luo Qingci's eyes widened, a hint of surprise on her face, but her indomitable spirit instantly surged, and she quickly regained her composure, her eyes gleaming with determination. She gritted her teeth, encouraging herself inwardly: "What's there to be afraid of? I won't give up easily. I'll definitely subdue it today! I, Luo Qingci, am a master of both medicine and poison. Do you think I'm afraid of this stupid beast? Watch how I launch a counterattack!"
"Come on then, who's afraid of who! Today I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget, and show you why flowers are so red!" As she spoke, she darted around like a nimble little monkey, searching for something to use, rubbing her hands together in preparation for the giant beast's next attack.
