【Option [-]】

[Eat the core of the clock tower giant]

……

The bell tower giant swayed and walked forward.It passed through the city, and the buildings that had long been in ruins were trampled under its feet, roaring and turning into dust.

And on its shoulders and back waist, there are black creatures slowly climbing.

"..."

Soon after.

The shadow swayed with the pace of the clock tower giant.The triangular-shaped head of the mantis protruded from the shoulder of the bell tower giant.

The sharp sickle pierced the base of the clock tower, supporting the body of the first mantis man.

It climbed to the back of the clock tower giant.

Followed by the second one.

The third one.

The Mantid ascended the wobbling clock tower.They raised their bodies and looked around.

thump... thump...

The bell rang.

The shaking clock, the dry air and the cold wind blowing from outside the city.

There is no fire here.

The Mantis raised their heads in confusion.

On their heads, a big clock with golden lines swayed slowly, emitting a distant bell.

……

"……so close."

Lying on the top of the big clock, hiding in the gap between the big clock and the top of the bell tower, Zheng Zhuo poked out a little flame and observed the surrounding scene.

More and more mantids climbed up the clock tower.However, they were still looking around, probably not finding themselves.

"If they jump up, it's not so easy to hide. Go faster."

Zheng Zhuo focused his attention on the top of the big clock.

The heat starts to build up.

On the uneven surface of the big clock, a gap was gradually burned.

Chill.

A soft sound.

A little bit of gold streaks evaporated.

【Points: 6】

They turned into Zheng Zhuo's points.

"Fine, go on."

……

When burning the core of the clock tower giant, it is not as smooth as burning the core of the mountain giant.At that time, Zheng Zhuo could hit and hit at will.Now, he must be careful to ensure the delicate operation, so as not to be discovered.

There is one good thing though.

That is, the bell tower giant is even more dull than the mountain giant.Its core was slowly evaporated without much notice.

Chi la, chi la.

Zheng Zhuo's flame continued to erode inward.More and more golden lines evaporated into points.Later, Zheng Zhuo burned a thin empty layer inside the big clock.

He simply squeezed himself into the empty layer.This time, the efficiency of eating is much higher.

However, the clock tower giant's footsteps became less steady.It began to shake more and more.

and……

Boom!

Steps became heavy.The speed of lifting the feet also slowed down.

Is it why I eat?Zheng Zhuo stretched himself out from the big clock and looked down.

Thick monsters entangled the bell tower giant's hands and legs.Even monsters began to pile up on his back.

It seems that there are two reasons.

"Oops."

The monsters seem to have no direction yet.Because Zheng Zhuo stuffed most of his body into the big clock, it was hard to spot him from the outside.

The monsters sensed Zheng Zhuo's heat, but they didn't see Zheng Zhuo, so they felt confused.

But they know that Zheng Zhuo is here.They climbed up one after another.

Judging by this momentum, sooner or later the pile will reach the top of the big clock.

Boom!

The bell tower giant landed again.

His body tilted sharply.Many monsters hanging on it were thrown out due to inertia, and landed in the city below, screaming.

But still quite a few monsters caught it.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the scene in front of him.

"...There is."

An idea suddenly occurred to him.

thump.

The bell tower giant raised his foot again and stepped down.

Just when the wide soles of the feet were about to step on the ground...

Zheng Zhuo looked at the right time, and evaporated a large piece of golden lines overflowing from the inner wall of the big clock.

Boom!

The bell tower giant staggered abruptly, and staggered a long way along the residential area.His body tilted sharply, hitting the surrounding city ruins, and the monsters on his body fell like raindrops.

rumble……

The bell tower giant stood up again.This time, there were far fewer monsters on him.

"it is good."

Crisis lifted.

Zheng Zhuo continued to dwell in the big clock, watching the clock tower giant walk towards his target - two white pointed buildings.

but.

After about a while, he realized the recklessness of the action he had just taken.

Long... Long... Boom.

Long... Long... Boom.

Perhaps it was because Zheng Zhuo absorbed too many golden lines, or maybe it was because the impact just now broke part of the body structure of the bell tower giant.

The clock tower giant's forward speed slowed down significantly.

Facing the buildings in front of him, his movements became larger and slower.

This makes it easier for the monsters who jump on its body to grab it again.

rustle.

rustle.

Monsters are coming back faster than before.They climbed up the body of the bell tower giant with ease.Soon, a tower made of flesh and blood piled up in the bell tower.

Zheng Zhuo had no choice.He can only repeat it one more time.

"evaporation."

chap!
Another large piece of golden lines disappeared in the close contact with Zheng Zhuo's body.

The belfry giant tilted in the other direction.The towers built by the monsters were smashed apart and scattered into the streets below.

Long...

But this time, the clock tower giant got up even slower.

After that, Zheng Zhuo repeated this three times.

The body of the clock tower giant began to peel off in large chunks.

Before the mountain giant disintegrated, a similar situation occurred.Zheng Zhuo knew that the bell tower giant had reached its limit.

He streamed from the top of the almost hollowed-out clock, looking forward.

The bell tower giant is not heading straight for the two white pointed buildings.Therefore, although Zheng Zhuo is much closer to there than before, there is still a short distance to reach there.

Zheng Zhuo looked down again.

As the clock tower giant moved more and more slowly, more and more monsters covered it, almost covering its entire body.

I don't know how many times the monsters squeezed into the clock tower stretched out their hands, frantically trying to grasp the big clock.

"..."

Zheng Zhuo looked at it for a while.

"For you guys."

He began to burn the rings that connected the bell to the top of the bell tower.

——Zizi——

The metal is twisting, discoloring, deforming.

soon.

slap.

The connection between the big clock and the bell tower was broken.

Om-!
The big clock fell towards the frenzied monsters.

boom!
A loud bang.

Chung cut off the monster's body and split himself into several pieces.The last golden lines splashed out from the fragments of the big clock, and were burned clean by Zheng Zhuo who threw him down.

The Bell Tower Giant hummed.Its body is collapsing.

Earth and rocks continued to fall, and the site shook violently.The monsters that were suppressed screamed, while the monsters that were not suppressed still stepped forward, trampled on their companions, and stretched out their hands to Zheng Zhuo.

This scene is like hell on earth... although it has already been here.

Zheng Zhuo jumped out of this hell on earth.

In the wind, he opened his golden body.
