The Labyrinth of the Monsters

Qing Ling, who was hanging upside down in mid-air, was pierced through her chest without even making a painful cry.

The "Black Giant Needle" was pulled out from her body, and blood gushed out, flowing down with gravity, quickly staining her fair neck, face, and forehead, soaking her long hair.

The hair monster enjoyed the process of dyeing Qing Ling's hair red with its own blood. It repeated with both intoxication and sorrow, "Hair, such beautiful hair... all mine... all mine..."

"Ah!" When the first drop of blood fell from the end of Qing Ling's hair, the hair monster trembled with excitement. Her black hair quickly spread open and gathered towards Qing Ling, swiftly entwining and devouring her.

The other three could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

They couldn't just watch Qing Ling die!

They had to save her! They had to do something!

Gao Yang closed his eyes.

Gao Yang opened his eyes, and with a thought, a strange and scorching energy surged between his ten fingers. He grabbed the dense black hair with his backhand.

"Flame!"

"Sizzle—" Gao Yang's hands ignited, and the black hair burned all the way from his palms to his forearms. The hair broke one by one, making a slight cracking sound like crushing insect shells.

The remaining hair instantly fell off, desperately escaping from Gao Yang's body, as if it could sense pain and fear.

After breaking free from the shackles of the hair, Gao Yang, who was hanging upside down in mid-air, began to fall. He reacted quickly, grabbing Officer Huang, who was below him, with one hand and placing the other hand on Officer Huang's chest. "Flame!"

Officer Huang's chest immediately caught fire.

Gao Yang controlled the temperature and range of the flame. The black hair on Officer Huang's body sensed the danger and quickly retreated. At the moment Officer Huang was falling, Gao Yang stepped on his chest and pushed hard, jumping towards Chubby Jun, who was three meters away.

Jumping in mid-air was extremely difficult, even though Gao Yang had increased his agility value, he still couldn't perform the action as skillfully as an acrobat.

There was a slight distance between the two, and Gao Yang barely managed to reach out and grab Chubby Jun's thigh. The sudden "attack" startled Chubby Jun, who screamed, "Ah, don't kill me..."

Chubby Jun opened his eyes and realized he wasn't dead. Gao Yang was holding onto his thigh.

"Gao Yang?! You..."

"Hold on."

Gao Yang raised his arm and slapped Chubby Jun's fat buttocks. "Flame."

"Sizzle—" Chubby Jun's buttocks caught fire.

"Hiss—" The black hair immediately fled from the flame, withdrawing one by one.

[Congratulations! Flame: Level Up]

[Level 2 Flame: Can summon fire elements with both hands, maximum temperature of 580 degrees Celsius, burn radius of 3 meters]

[Permanent attribute bonus for Level 2 Flame: Mental Strength +100, Fire Resistance +60, Charisma +10]

At the same time the system sounded in his mind, Gao Yang felt a surge of energy entering his body, bringing him immense pleasure.

Chubby Jun had a fat body, with many black hairs entwined on him, making it impossible to retract them instantly. Gao Yang retracted the flame, found the right moment, and reached out to grab a bunch of black hair that was trying to escape. The returning black hair was like a thread, pulling Gao Yang, the "kite," towards the hair monster's core—the skull.

The hair monster was planning to slowly devour Qing Ling, but Gao Yang's sudden attack interrupted its rhythm. It paused its feeding and turned to deal with Gao Yang.

It first severed the strand of hair that Gao Yang had grabbed, but it was too late. Gao Yang was already flying in a parabolic trajectory towards the hair monster, positioned above its head.

Three "Black Giant Needles" formed immediately, piercing towards Gao Yang from the front, left, and right directions. Gao Yang opened his arms and aimed at the two black needles on the left and right. "Flame!"

"Boom—Boom—" Flames burst out from Gao Yang's palms one after another, engulfing the black needles.

The black needle coming from the front still couldn't be dealt with in time. Gao Yang twisted his body, hoping to avoid a fatal blow.

"Swish—" At the critical moment, a Tang Blade flew over and cut off the menacing black needle.

It was Qing Ling's metal talent! Despite being restrained by the hair and hanging upside down, her face was already covered in blood, but she was half-opened her eyes, staring at Gao Yang.

She was on the verge of death, but she still didn't give up!

A surge of hot blood rushed into Gao Yang's chest. He opened his arms and let his body fall towards the hair monster.

Three meters!

Two meters!

One meter! Within attacking range."Flame!" Gao Yang roared, pouring all his energy into the palms of his hands.

"Boom—" Two flames burst out, merging into one, instantly engulfing the hair monster.

"Ah ah ah—" The hair monster let out a miserable scream, but it wasn't enough. A second of flame was not enough to burn off all its hair, let alone destroy its hard skull.@@novelbin@@

But Gao Yang was powerless. The force of gravity was pulling him down rapidly, and the flames spewing from his palms were about to miss their target.

Suddenly, he felt something steady under his feet. Something was supporting him.

He looked down and saw that it was the floating Tang Blade!

With a forceful lift from the Tang Blade, Gao Yang leapt up another half meter.

This time, Qing Ling had drained all her mental strength. She closed her eyes, her arms hanging down.

In fact, after being pierced in the chest by the "Black Giant Needle", Qing Ling's metal talent suddenly rose to level three. It was thanks to that dose of adrenaline that she had managed to hold on until now.

Level 3 Metal: The limit distance for sensing metal is 50 meters, the limit distance for controlling metal is 10 meters, and the limit weight for controlling metal is 60 kilograms.

"Flame!" Gao Yang, who had leapt up again, didn't dare to miss this last chance. He wished he could pour out all his energy in an instant.

But this brief pause in the attack had given the hair monster a chance to overcome its pain and react. Its skull quickly moved back, escaping the range of Gao Yang's flame attack.

Gao Yang could only watch helplessly, unable to turn the tide.

At the same time, a "Black Giant Needle" stabbed from behind Gao Yang.
