"Good thing I came prepared."
Gao Mao poked half its face out from behind a giant mushroom, cackling as it raised a hand and patted the mushroom cap beside it.
The cap split down the middle.
A green-skinned giant squeezed out.
It stood twice as tall as ordinary fungal monsters. Its fists smashed into the ground with dull, heavy impacts.
"WAHHHA!"
The green-skinned giant broke into a run, charging straight at Big Dog.
The Red Thread around Big Dog abruptly went taut, and a canine phantom pounced toward it. The giant's fist crashed into the dog's jaws, punching a gap through the red mist. Its fist wind passed through the dog's head and sent the fog behind it rolling apart.
The next instant, Big Dog swung down a paw.
Half the green-skinned giant's body was scattered, chunks of fungus flying dozens of meters away before rolling across the ground.
Gao Mao had just stepped out from behind the mushroom when it immediately stopped.
The fungal chunks on the green-skinned giant wriggled together. Its arms, head, and chest reassembled in their original places. It shook its head, raised its fists, and charged again.
"WAHHHA!"
Gao Mao cackled even more gleefully.
It had originally planned to circle around to Big Dog's side, but the moment it took a step, it saw the green-skinned giant get bitten by Big Dog.
The dog's jaws closed.
Half the giant's head was bitten into its mouth, yet its hands still clutched Big Dog's neck as its fists hammered down again and again.
Gao Mao immediately turned and hid behind Knov, exposing only half its body.

Knov stood in front of it with his arms hanging at his sides, his body showing no autonomous reaction at all.
