I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 515: Artificial Traces Fair Fight

A little white light flew out from the dissipating corpse and merged into Zhang Hong's body before he could react.

Zhang Hong was surprised.

【What is this? 】

After waiting for a long time, I didn't feel anything unusual and nothing happened.

Zhang Hong couldn't help but tighten the worn and rusty dagger in his hand. It seemed that this world was indeed abnormal. He had to be careful.

Ten minutes later.

"Wang Wang!"

With a roll, Zhang Hong avoided the monster's attack and took the opportunity to move to the monster's side.

While the monster was still not reacting, he pounced on it and used his whole body weight to suppress its movements, while the dagger stabbed its neck wildly.

Finally, the monster was killed with a scream.

【so close……】

Zhang Hong took a breath and recovered his strength on the spot, looking at the zombie dog-like monster in front of him with lingering fear.

Just now, this thing suddenly jumped out from the blind spot of his vision, attacked him, and almost bit him to death.

Fortunately, although Zhang Hong no longer has extraordinary powers, he still has hundreds of years of experience in the mission world and knows some mortal martial arts and fighting skills.

Even though he is now a mortal, he cannot be defeated by just a few small monsters.

After killing seven or eight black-robed zombies and three zombie dogs along the way, Zhang Hong finally walked out of the cemetery. In front of him was a winding mountain path. There was a cliff next to the road, so he could only walk along the road.

This place felt increasingly weird to Zhang Hong... It was like a specially designed "trial" where he had to eliminate the carefully designed enemies one by one before he could reach the exit.

This feeling became even stronger after arriving at the cemetery.

Zhang Hong discovered that the cemetery was actually built at the foot of a high mountain with cliffs on all sides. The cliffs were hundreds of feet high and steep and vertical, and it was obviously not achievable by human power to climb.

Walking out of the cemetery along the stone path, at the other end of the cliff, the ruins of a castle appeared in front of Zhang Hong.

The upper part of the castle, in the European medieval style, has collapsed, and some areas have disappeared with the collapse of the mountain, leaving only ruins standing on the dangerous cliff.

What's strange is that the part leading to the outside is still intact, blocked by a high wall, with a huge wooden door several meters high in the middle, inlaid with metal emblem patterns.

These ruins were forming a small square on the cliff, and candles lit by someone illuminated the dim scene around the square.

In the center of the square, a small giant wearing heavy black armor was half-kneeling on the stone bricks, with a huge long-handled weapon next to him, like a statue.

The giant was estimated to be nearly two and a half meters tall, like a medieval Astartes. The halberd next to him was estimated to be more than three meters long. It was made of pure steel and was covered in solidified blood. It was obvious at first glance that it was extremely powerful.

Zhang Hong couldn't possibly ignore such a conspicuous presence, so he kept a distance and observed carefully.

It turned out that there was a strange-looking sword stuck in the giant's chest. The sword body looked like two steel bars twisted together, with no edge or blade. It had no killing power except for stabbing people.

Zhang Hong felt that this giant should be a trap. He moved carefully around the edge of the small square, keeping his distance and making no sound.

He went around to the door and tried to climb over the broken wall that was less than three meters high to leave the place, but he found that he had hit an invisible wall of air and could not touch the wall at all.

Zhang Hong tried again and again and found that there was indeed an invisible air wall preventing him from leaving.

"Is it magic? Or a mechanism?"

Zhang Hong couldn't help but guess, and after a careful search, he didn't find anything suspicious.

The sense of disharmony in his heart became stronger and stronger, directing his attention to the giant in the center of the square whose heart was pierced by the spiral sword.

[Sure enough, it’s that thing…]

Zhang Hong walked up to the giant and waved his hand in front of him, but the other party did not respond. After observing him around, Zhang Hong noticed that there was a strange black gelatinous substance flowing in the gaps between his armor.

This thing is indeed alive.

So what I have to do next is to take out this sword, right?

Zhang Hong complained in his heart and was a little speechless, but he was still prepared. He stepped forward in one breath and grasped the hilt of the spiral sword.

But then he let go of his hand and slapped his head.

I was stupid. This wasn't a game, why should I be so honest?

Zhang Hong went over and tried to pull out the halberd that was stuck in the stone brick. He smashed and pried it, and after a long time of effort, he finally got this giant weapon out.

My goodness, it must weigh more than 200 pounds. It would be terrible if I got hit by it.

Zhang Hong gathered his strength, dragged the halberd to the edge of the cliff, and threw it down.

I dusted off my hands and felt much safer now.

He returned to the cemetery and found many withered vines, which he used as ropes to tie up the giant's hands and feet.

Then Zhang Hong plucked up the courage to take action and peeled off the armor on the giant.

I am wearing a cloth and you are wearing a heavy armor. Is this fair? It is not fair at all. You should take off the armor.

The armor was actually stuck to the giant's flesh and blood. Zhang Hong used a rusty dagger to cut and pry it off before he finally took it off and threw it down the cliff.

During this process, the giant's body kept twitching, as if it was about to revive.

However, the spiral sword on his chest was very powerful, as if it had a strong sealing ability, making him unable to move.

Zhang Hong could feel the giant's strong resentment.

He cursed rudely: "What? You are allowed to bully a defenseless novice like me with your godly outfit, but I am not allowed to exploit the bug?"

Zhang Hong could see that the person who designed this "game" or "trial" was extremely despicable and shameless.

He is an ordinary person with only a rusty dagger less than a foot long. How can he fight with a two-meter-and-five-meter giant who is fully armored and holding a two-hundred-pound weapon? Isn't this bullying?

Not only did Zhang Hong strip off the giant's armor, he also took the opportunity to stab him dozens of times in the vital parts with a dagger. He only stopped when he was sure that this was useless.

The giant, with his armor stripped off, was covered in blood and looked extremely terrifying.

The body already looked burned, with scarlet muscles exposed, which was extremely scary. There was also strange black matter drilling in and out of the body, as if it was about to mutate into a monster at any time.

It is precisely the existence of these strange black substances that prevents Zhang Hong from killing the other party in the sealed state.

The cut wound was healed by the black substance in an instant.

[It seems that only this spiral sword can kill him...]

Zhang Hong made all possible preparations to weaken the enemy. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, grasped the hilt of the spiral sword, pulled it out violently, and immediately retreated backwards.

"Roar!"

Boom!

With an angry roar, a huge arm made of black matter slammed heavily on the place where Zhang Hong had stood before, and the stone bricks on the ground shattered into pieces and gravel flew everywhere.

Zhang Hong's judgment was accurate.

Sure enough, as soon as the sword was pulled out, the giant came back to life.

And it might be Zhang Hong's almost blasphemous and insulting behavior just now that made the warrior extremely angry. He went berserk and his body mutated. A large amount of black matter poured out of his body, forming a lizard-like monster. It waved its claws and opened its bloody mouth to pounce on Zhang Hong.

[I knew there was something wrong with you! ]

Zhang Hong cursed inwardly and, under the cover of the ruins of the castle, staged the Qin Emperor's circling the pillar trick with the monster.

Although this monster has an amazing size and great strength, it doesn't seem to have a very smart brain and its movements are a bit clumsy.

Zhang Hong used the castle ruins to play hide-and-seek with the other party.

He took advantage of the monster's inattention and went around behind it, then made a sprint and stabbed the monster's anus with the spiral sword in his hand. The monster immediately let out an earth-shattering scream.
