Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

Zhao Feng's shouting seemed to anger the gargoyle. It flapped its wings violently, and a gust of wind appeared in front of it, blowing towards Zhao Feng.

The gale was like a knife, piercing the air with a resounding sound. Zhao Feng sensed the danger and quickly rolled to the side to avoid it. The gale struck the ground, sending gravel and dust flying, leaving Zhao Feng in a state of disarray.

The gargoyle seized the opportunity and swooped down, wanting to pursue the enemy, but suddenly an iron arrow appeared before its eyes. The gargoyle quickly folded its wings to protect its body.

The iron arrow hit the gargoyle, making a sound of metal clashing. The fine iron arrowhead rubbed against its wings, creating a spark, and was bounced away.

Gargoyles are different from wild beasts, so the effect of the bone bow is greatly reduced. Zhang Shi's strength has also been increased to 24 points, but facing this gargoyle, he cannot even break its defense.

Despite this, Zhang Shi had no choice but to continue shooting, hoping to buy some time for his teammates.

The gargoyle's momentum stopped and it landed on the ground.

Zhao Feng had been waiting for it for a long time, gripping the hammer tightly. He immediately launched a sweeping blow. The hammer arced in front of Zhao Feng and swung towards the gargoyle.

The gargoyle was unable to dodge and was hit by the hammer. It flew backwards and let out a series of roars.

Zhang Shi spotted its weakness and took advantage of it to kill it, launching a triple attack, aiming directly at the gargoyle's eyebrows.

The gargoyle is extremely sensitive to danger. It spreads its wings and wraps itself up like a dumpling.

The iron arrow hit its wings and was bounced away as expected, while the two arrow shadows exploded in front of it. The shock wave generated by the explosion overturned the gargoyle again, and the whole area was filled with smoke and dust.

Zhang Shi himself was shocked. He didn't expect that the power of the triple strike would be so much greater after his strength increased.

Seeing that Zhao Feng and Zhang Shi's attacks were effective, Wu Qing and Ge Dalong also changed into iron tools and moved closer to the gargoyle, cooperating with Zhao Feng to surround it.

The dust and mist dissipated, and the gargoyle's figure appeared before everyone. At this time, its wings were charred black, and a trace of bright red blood oozed out of the surface, but the damage was not serious.

Its scarlet eyes were filled with hatred, and it opened its fang-filled mouth and roared at Zhao Feng and the other two.

"Damn it! Die for me!"

Zhao Feng was fearless. He used his hammer to lead the way, and Ge Dalong and Wu Qing followed behind him as they rushed towards the gargoyle.

Zhang Shi also cooperated with them, shooting iron arrows one after another, not intending to give the gargoyle a chance to breathe.

The gargoyle was extremely angry. It flapped its wings and swung them forward fiercely. A strong airflow appeared in front of it, not only deflecting all the arrows, but also swept Zhao Feng and the other two up and landed beside the bushes not far away.

Seeing that his teammates were injured and the bone bow had no effect, Zhang Shi became anxious. He made up his mind and rushed forward with Lao Duan in his hand.

The gargoyle was relentless, its horns suddenly blazing like red-hot irons. After a brief burst of energy, a fireball the size of a human head condensed between its horns. As it swung, it hurled itself towards Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng was still lying on the ground in a daze, and did not react to the fireball at all.

At the critical moment, Ge Dalong and Wu Qing each took one hand and dragged Zhao Feng behind them. Ge Dalong's magic wand appeared, and a blue light curtain appeared in front of him, blocking all the aftermath of the fireball explosion.

At this moment, Zhang Shi also rushed to the front of the gargoyle, holding Lao Duan, and launched a triple attack to chop down at the gargoyle.

The gargoyle still had its wings across its head, trying to rely on its toughness that could bounce off metal and iron to block Zhang Shi's attack.

The gargoyle obviously underestimated Zhang Shi, or rather, underestimated Lao Duan.

Three sword lights, one real and two imaginary, split one of the gargoyle's originally tough wings into two, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound.

The gargoyle screamed in pain and swept its other wing across. Zhang Shi raised his sword to block. The wing collided with Lao Duan, and the strong wind it created blew against Zhang Shi, sending him flying.

Zhang Shi fell to the ground, feeling his stomach churning, his consciousness a little fuzzy, and his physical strength rapidly decreasing like a pool with a hole in it.

Zhang Shi quickly stuffed a plum into his mouth, forced himself to cheer up, picked up Lao Duan, and looked forward. As soon as he looked up, he saw a flash of fire coming towards him. Zhang Shi was so frightened that his whole body shuddered and he quickly fell to the ground, avoiding the attack in shock.

The gargoyle failed to hit Zhang Shi, so it quickly ran towards him. One of its wings was broken into two pieces, and large amounts of blood were flowing on the ground. The scene was extremely creepy.

Zhang Shi had just stood up when the gargoyle pounced on him, one of its sharp claws like a bayonet going straight for Zhang Shi's face.

At the critical moment, an iron hammer flew from a distance and smashed into the gargoyle, knocking it off balance. Its claws deflected, but its momentum remained undiminished. The man and the monster were locked in a tight embrace.

"Stone, fuck him!"

Zhao Feng shouted loudly, and with the strong smell of blood from the gargoyle coming into his nose, Zhang Shi's mind immediately became much clearer. He clenched the old Duan in his hand and launched the triple attack again.

"Go to hell!"

Zhang Shi roared.

Old Duan thrust his sword upwards, the blade piercing the body, staining it blood-red. The gargoyle froze in place, a long streak of blood running from bottom to top, bisecting it. A shadowy blade flashed from behind, its terrifying force splitting the gargoyle's body into chunks of varying sizes.

"Ding, team kill"

【Gargoyle (Green) X1】

"Gain 200 experience points"

"Obtained [Flint Great Axe (Green) x1: Exquisite-level weapon. When worn, increases Strength by 5 points. Hitting an enemy will ignite it.]"

"Obtained [Skill Card - Ice Cone (Blue) x1: Spell skill that condenses three ice cones and launches them at the target area. Each ice cone deals 60% damage and has a slowing effect.]"

"Congratulations to the team for winning [Medal of Courage x1]"

After finally killing the elite gargoyle, Zhang Shi felt sore all over and didn't care about the filth on his body. He collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath.

He glanced at his panel and saw that with the scholar's experience boost, his experience bar jumped directly to 50%.

Zhao Feng and his companions also gathered around and checked Zhang Shi's injuries. After finding that he was not seriously injured, they felt relieved.

Ge Dalong looked guilty.

"I didn't expect this green elite monster to be so powerful. I held everyone back and almost got everyone injured."

Wu Qing shook her head and said comfortingly.

"It's not your problem. This monster is very resistant to magic, which just happens to counter your strengths."

Zhao Feng also came over and patted his shoulder.

"Old Ge, don't blame yourself. We didn't suffer any serious injuries, and we even got promoted to a higher level. You should be happy."

Zhang Shi also recovered and took a look at the progress bar. After finishing the altar, the progress bar suddenly increased to nearly 20%.

"Fortune and honor are sought in danger. This altar can greatly advance our progress. Even if I get hurt a little, it's worth it."

Zhang Shi took out the [Flint Giant Axe] and threw it to Zhao Feng.

"Brother Feng, this equipment is quite effective and just right for you. You can take it with you."

They two contributed the most to killing the gargoyle, and no one had any objection to Zhang Shi's decision.

Zhao Feng had long had his eye on this weapon, and happily swapped out the hammer. At this point, the Blue Seal Grass Incense buff wore off, but Zhao Feng's Strength attribute remained at 20 points.

Zhao Feng weighed the giant axe, feeling its weight in his hand, and his confidence surged.

"Exquisite-grade weapons are just different. If I come across that again, I can chop it down with just one axe."

Zhang Shi handed the skill card to Ge Dalong again.

"Among us, you have the highest magic power, Old Ge. This skill can only be given to you."

Ge Dalong took the skill card with a hint of joy in his eyes.
