BXBX NOVEL Chapter 73 Granite Golem
(Is this guy ... asleep now ...?)
Looking at this large stone protruding from the cliff, Tyler could hear his own heart pounding wildly.
So far, this large stone identified as a "Granite Golem" had not moved, but Tyler knew clearly that once this guy moved, Avril and himself staying on the cliff would die without a place to bury them.
The gap in the values was simply too great.
When Tyler merged with Avril earlier, he had checked her information. When Avril\'s personality was in control of the body, Tyler saw the information as:
���������
Avril
Life Energy: 30/30
Endurance: 16/23
Magic Energy: 80/80
���������
And when switching to Elle\'s personality, Tyler saw:
���������
Elle
Life Energy: 60/60
Endurance: 49/56
Magic Energy: 80/80
���������
Elle\'s panel data was slightly stronger than Tyler\'s in life energy and endurance, but the difference was not enough to contend with the granite golem in front of her.
In addition, Tyler also noticed that Elle\'s combat occupation "Murderous Phantom" had increased by 1 level since he left Ira Village. It seemed that Avril and Elle had experienced a lot in this time after he left.
Now, Elle had obeyed Tyler\'s orders and gone to the ground. Tyler himself was also slowly descending while staring at the granite golem.
(Granite golem ... It seems this guy is the demon in the "future death scene", and there should be at least one more of this kind of guy ...)
At the thought of possibly facing two of these creatures at the same time, Tyler felt his scalp tingle.
But this was not the full horror of Sandrift Gorge.
Tyler clearly remembered that the demon called "Rock Shadow Demon" in Sandrift Gorge spoken of by the Gudetown Cavalry was clearly not the same kind of demon as this granite golem, judging by its specific name.
In addition, Tyler had seen a huge serpentine demon himself at night. Could this serpentine demon be the Rock Shadow Demon? Tyler couldn\'t optimistically speculate like that.
This meant that at least two other demons were lurking in Sandrift Gorge.
Thinking of this, Tyler\'s scalp didn\'t just tingle, it was GONE.
"Elle, let\'s find another route to evacuate. The big guy on the cliff is not something we can beat."
"Okay, agreed."
Very unusually, Elle agreed with Tyler\'s suggestion, even though Tyler hadn\'t told her how terrifying a demon that abnormal rock was.
·
Tyler and Elle sneaked away from the scene, It was fortunate that the granite golem was asleep.
As the price for avoiding combat, Tyler had to find an alternative route that was relatively steeper to help Avril (Elle) escape from the valley.
"Banning,you just said that the north exit of the gorge has also collapsed,so Laidelll and his men will probably come back soon?"
"It\'s possible, if they observe the terrain of the gorge, they should retrace our first old route."
When Elle was no longer obsessed with killing him, Tyler found that he could actually get along quite well with her.
Elle was different from Avril, she had a very cold style, talking to her was like talking to a female assassin.
"So in that case... they\'ll run into that stone monster, right?", Elle asked.
"Yes."
"Shouldn\'t we leave a message to warn them?"
".....Warn what?"
Elle showed an appreciative expression at Tyler\'s response, and the two of them smiled at each other without continuing the conversation.
They both knew very well that if they continued, it might give kind Avril unnecessary psychological burden.
Tyler and Elle\'s ideas were consistent, they both knew that it would take a day to climb to the top of the cliff,during which time, if the stone monster woke up and came to bother them, it would be fatal.
And if the people of the Gudetown Cavalry came back, they would abandon their horses and equipment to climb the gentler cliff wall, and as a result, they would surely wake up the stone monster.
At that time, if the cavalry team could defeat it,it would naturally be a good thing,but even if they could not defeat it,it could buy Tyler and Elle some time.
Ever since the moment the cavalry abandoned Rhode and Avril in the mountain collapse,these people were no longer worthy of rescue, let alone Laidell, the leader who killed Rhode.
In addition, because of the "future death scene" where Laidell had killed Tyler once before, Tyler did not want any contact with Laidell.
·
Tyler and Elle harbored idyllic thoughts, yet reality denied them an easy opportunity.
Just as they climbed about ten meters high, a distant commotion echoed through the gorge - the sound of the cavalry unit.
(What\'s going on? They\'ve returned too soon, haven\'t they?)
According to Tyler\'s calculations, it would take at least until the afternoon for the cavalry to make a round trip... their early return meant that something happened midway!
"Do you have any suggestions, Banning?"
"There\'s a crevice on the cliff over there; let\'s hide in it."
The crevice on the cliff was the only place where they could take cover. Tyler instructed Elle to go in first, then pressed himself against the outside of the cliff, standing close to her.
In such a narrow space, there was no distance between the two of them.
Tyler could feel Elle(Avril)\'s "softness" on chest pressing against his body, he could smell the faint pleasant scent emanating from her, he could sense her heartbeat, feel the warmth of her skin, and see her moist lips just within reach.
"Banning, if there\'s anything protruding from your body, I\'ll use these large scissors to cut it off."
Elle looked coldly at Tyler.
"You\'re thinking too much."
Tyler turned around, facing away from Elle, indicating that he wanted to check the situation outside, where the Gudetown Cavalry was.
As for the third party involved, Avril, she blushed and fainted after enduring only three seconds of embarrassment.
·
Before long, Tyler saw the cavalry unit approaching, kicking up billowing dust.
The warhorses were galloping at full speed, indicating that the cavalry unit was in some kind of emergency.
(There\'s no one in front of the cavalry unit... could it be that they\'re not pursuing someone but being chased by something "else"?!)
Soon, Tyler found the answer.
A huge boulder was closely following behind the cavalry unit, rolling at a speed comparable to that of the warhorses!
Once crushed by this boulder, the soldiers and their horses would be instantly flattened!
"We\'re approaching an open area! Spread out and deal with it!!"
Initially, Tyler didn\'t understand the meaning of Laidell\'s loud shout.
However, when Tyler saw the boulder adjust its rolling direction with arms extended, he understood.
This was not an ordinary boulder but another granite golem, relentlessly chasing the cavalry!

（Very well... Now both of them have appeared on the scene.）
Tyler pondered for a moment and decided to take advantage of the chaotic situation to continue climbing upward with Elle. However, just as he peered out to confirm the climbing path above, the granite golem that should have been sleeping fifty to sixty meters away had somehow already reached their upper position.
Moreover, it was fully awake.
