Chapter 1862 Dark Days Dungeons #1 -Part 4
Previously when he questioned Lian "Who the h.e.l.l would advertise their dungeons to be hard and told them they will enjoy the difficulty is out of their mind", he finally admitted that he was wrong but at the same time frustrated that he had been restricted. This was because Rong finally felt that he was undoubtedly lacking.
All those training with his powers had made him realise that his fundamentals were not as good as he thought. He had always a.s.sumed that Grandma Yuan had given them the best training package within the Demon Exorcists but now all he understood was that even Grandma Yuan had wanted them to unlock their powers quickly when they were young. She was not wrong in her methods but he realised this was how cultivation should be. Without a proper base foundation to hold his future powers, he will be shaky.
"I wonder if Jin could clear this in record time?" He thought to himself as he faced the two Goblins who finally broke out of the door. But given how there was an archer- no two archers now from each side, Rong had decided to finish the battle within the house again.
There was no indication that he could not use the enemies" weapons to kill themselves as long as he was not holding on to them. And when Rong tried it, the method did work, allowing him to break and force the Goblin to push its dagger into its neck while he judo threw the other Goblin. When the last Goblin was on the ground, he took his club and kept bas.h.i.+ng its face until the bones were crushed and organic matter slowly oozed out its ears and nose.
"What the h.e.l.l man? This is hard as f.u.c.k!" Rong said as he stood up and checked the house once more before he went to one corner of the house and started to take deep breaths. When he was ready, he pulled the arrow out of his right arm and used a portion of his s.h.i.+rt to bandage it so that it would stop bleeding. Rong could use his chi again but he was unsure whether he had the time to slowly heal up.
On the contrary, he started to search the house if there was anything he could use to block the arrows and the Ox Demon Cultivator managed to find another Protection Inscription Charm against the Unheavenly Slash. This was the third one he found and Rong wondered why they were so many of it. Still, he mindlessly used it to reinforce his underwear since there was a charm slot that could be used.
"Ehhh do pillows really work?" Rong asked himself and felt that this was better than nothing. In his tired and injured state, the Ox Demon Cultivator was very sure that he would not be able to deflect the arrows properly with his club. (Maybe if Rong was fit like a fiddle like the time he started, he could have done it.)
"Oh well, at least this is better than nothing," Rong said as he found a few strings of rope lying around and noticed that they were not attached to the Goblin, meaning he could pick it up. So, with a bit of innovation, he had wrapped the pillow around his left hand like a buckler before he attempted to rush out again.
All he hoped was that those two archers were still on their respective roofs like how a video game would be. "Alright, let"s go!" Rong said to himself as he dashed out of the house not through the back door but the window that was closer to the subway exit. The moment he did that, he activated his Grade 1 Enhancement Technique once more, giving him the strength to jump up to the roof with one huge leap.
Upon reaching the roof, the Goblin Archer released the arrow and Rong lifted up his "pillow" buckler only to find that it did stop the arrow momentarily which allowed the Ox Demon Cultivator to rush and smash its face.
It was at that point, he saw that the roof had something glittering once more. "Please let it be a bow!" Rong pleaded as he knelt to pick it up. The glitter materialised and it was undoubtedly the very same bow and arrows that were left by the Goblin Archer.
"Yes!" He said to himself as he picked it up and tried to aim towards the clearing where the second Goblin Archer would be. At that point when he attempts to aim at the second Goblin Archer, an arrow is flying towards him which instinctively causes him to raise his pillow buckler up. But instead of the arrow being stuck on it, it hits the edge of the pillow which allowed the arrow to be deflected and barely misses Rong"s shoulder.
At that point, Rong became confident as he ripped out the pillow buckler and aimed towards the Goblin Archer. Even though he was a melee cultivator, Grandma Yuan did make them learn the basics for a variety of weapons. Bow and arrow were definitely one of them and it did not take long for Rong to be in position so that he could shoot a precise shot towards the Goblin Archer.
It was not a headshot but a direct hit to its chest. After playing in Jin"s dungeons for some time, he got to learn some of his monsters" anatomy. For the goblin, its heart was of similar anatomy position as the humans, and shooting the arrow toward the chest provided confidence for someone who had not been using a bow for a time.
When that was over, Rong rested on the roof for a while longer in hopes that he could use the Enhancement Technique when he went to the clearing. Rong had the feeling that the final boss would be there and although it was best he hurry since there was not enough time left on the clock, it was imperative to at least be ready for the fight especially after what he learned about the Goblins" attack patterns and behaviour.
