Guan Ziyang held his magic wand, continuously adding shields to himself, while somewhat uncertainly casting several Appraisal on the crouching humanoid creature in front of him.

[Health Points: 2205/2205]

[Health Points: 2215/2215]

"Why is this guy's maximum Health Points increasing?!" Guan Ziyang felt a chill run down his spine, sensing something was amiss.

Not far ahead of him, a figure crawled on all fours like a wild beast. The thing's mouth was open in a way that defied physiological structure, nearly three meters wide, with a long, sticky tongue dragging on the ground, sometimes sweeping unconsciously, sometimes swinging like a pendulum.

Its mouth is bigger than its body; isn't the mouth the main body?

After casting another Appraisal, Guan Ziyang hesitated again. "This thing... is it really a person? It's holding a magic wand though... could it be some 'dirty thing' that slipped out of some Trial Instance?"

The long-tongued monster seemed completely oblivious, merely grinning with its terrifyingly large mouth, emitting a "hoho" laugh like a child's innocent laughter, while continuously gnawing on the soil and pebbles on the ground.

What's chilling is that despite swallowing large amounts of soil, his shriveled abdomen didn't bulge at all, as if it were connected to some endless other dimension.

"Never mind, let's kill them first."

Guan Ziyang swung his magic wand, and a pale, spherical domain unfolded, enveloping the long-tongued madman within it.

Immediately afterwards, he switched wands again, and the tip of the wand spewed out a continuous stream of gray light, which was wrapped in an aura of pain, and slammed into the target.

The long-tongued madman didn't even raise his head, still intently gnawing on the mud on the ground, as if the gray beam of death was just a harmless drizzle.

[Health Points: 1543/2215]

[Health Points: 1245/2215]

[Health Points: 732/2215]

The Spells, which had been heavily nerfed in the Trait Dungeon, couldn't inflict any damage on the Madman. They didn't hurt at all, so the Madman didn't move, just watching his temporary Health Points bar drop while enjoying the musty smell of the mud.

In just a few seconds, his Health Points dropped below three hundred. Suddenly, the long-tongued monster tilted his head, and a fleeting moment of clarity seemed to flash in his Chaos eyes. As if he had finally remembered something, he quickly switched wands with both hands and feet.

The next moment, a twisted, meter-square mouth made of energy appeared out of thin air, its viscous tongue cascading out like a waterfall, precisely intercepting the three gray beams of light that followed, destroying them along with the beams. The monster's spellcasting did not stop, and a new "Long-Tongue Shield" was formed once more.

That wasn't all. A twisted, Black Hole -like maw appeared beside him, frantically devouring everything around it—soil, rubble, and even Guan Ziyang's Spell.

Switching to the wand again, the monster's precarious Health Points began to recover slowly but steadily.

The madman used a combination of defensive and Spells Spell withstand the attack!

After doing all this, he lay back down on the ground like a starving wild dog, casting Spells while continuing to gnaw on the rocks and soil.

Seeing this, Guan Ziyang's expression remained unchanged; he merely paused for a moment before changing the Spell on his attack staff.

A small, grinning ghost appeared beside Guan Ziyang, its form constantly shifting as if it had no physical form.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Ziyang cast Spell, pointed his wand again, and a ball of dark blue fire shot out.

The fireball split into three during its flight, then into nine, transforming into a dense barrage of bullets. Even more terrifying, each fireball that split off left a long, black trail behind it.

At the same time, the ghostly body beside him, which was constantly changing shape, twisted violently, Perfect Copy Guan Ziyang's attack. The same barrage of fireballs, interwoven with dark blue and black, covered the long-tongued monster.

The effect of this summoning Spell is: to Copy the Spellcaster's Spell attack.

The Copy attack of the main body and the summoned creatures resulted in an average of four mother bullets per second, which, after splitting, amounted to thirty-six bullets. Guan Ziyang successfully established initial firepower Suppression.

Under the barrage of Berserk, the long-tongued monster's "Long-Tongue Shield" defense couldn't keep up with the pace and shattered instantly. His Health Points began to plummet again.

The madman tilted his head and thought for a moment, then decisively used both hands and feet to crawl between the "Black Hole" Spells he had cast, avoiding the subsequent attacks.

Strangely, the "Black Hole" did not seem to be a defensive Spell, with no upper limit to damage resistance. Like a bottomless Abyss, it devoured and destroyed everything, including Guan Ziyang's subsequent attacks, and even the Spellcaster, the Long-Tongued Madman himself.

He was trapped between several "Black Holes," seemingly being pulled and swallowed, his Health Points constantly decreasing, but his wand never stopped, continuously casting healing Spells to stabilize his Health Points.

Layton, who was watching from the sidelines, almost burst out laughing, "What amazing moves... Scholar, is this [Food] really crazy? I remember during the last District War, although he was also acting crazy, he still got up and bowed to us before leaving."

Su Luo: "Who knows? Maybe he woke up automatically when he was in danger? You saw that he was ignoring the other person's attack at first, and only started casting spells when he was about to be eliminated. When he was almost taken out in one wave, he reacted extremely quickly and cast Spells to ensure his survival."

Layton stroked his chin. "Using a self-destructive Black Hole as cover, relying on frantic healing to tank the damage. You can actually play like that? That's a game mechanic..."

"And every time I see it, it's eating weird things..."

The long-tongued madman's quick thinking was quite clever, almost anthropomorphic.

The Spell that summons a "Black Hole" is particularly unique; it automatically devours and destroys all surrounding matter, including Spell attacks.

The madman wrapped himself in a "Black Hole," essentially giving himself an infinite shield.

However, the "Black Hole" could also harm him. In that instant, the madman realized that staying in place would mean certain elimination, while hiding in the "Black Hole" and using healing Spells to recover health offered him a glimmer of hope.

Only the special rules of the Trait Dungeon allow for this kind of gameplay.

Clearly, they're just crazy, not stupid.

"You two idiots! What are you looking at! If you dare, come and fight your grandpa one-on-one!" A loud shout came from behind, drawing their attention away.

Unable to break through the defenses after a prolonged attack, Guan Ziyang turned his attention to the two onlookers. He made a universally recognized hand gesture with his left hand, while his right hand provocatively flicked his finger.

Su Luo and Layton exchanged a glance, then continued to stare at the battlefield, ignoring Guan Ziyang.

The atmosphere between the three instantly turned cold and silent, though it was already cold to begin with.

Ten seconds later.

Guan Ziyang suddenly began to sing birdsong and enjoy the fragrance of flowers:

"Look at this mud horse...!"
