Chapter 968 "The Ultimate Test of the Ultimate Puzzle"

"Zhang Meng!" Bai Xue panted and stared at the giant monster, frowning, "You just prepared an 'ultimate boss' for me? Are you sure this is not a prank?"

Zhang Meng smiled proudly, "Haha, Bai Xue, don't worry, this is your last chance! This monster is the ultimate boss of the 'exam'. If you defeat it, you can pass it smoothly and return to the real world."

"Back to reality?" Bai Xue's eyes widened. "You actually think so? You think this monster is just a 'test'? I think it's a 'catastrophe'!"

“Don’t worry.” Zhang Meng shook his head, not nervous at all. “Even if it’s a catastrophe, we can handle it. Haven’t you already solved many levels? No matter how difficult the challenge is, it’s just this hard!”

"The most difficult challenge?" Bai Xue panted, "Do you know how difficult this level is? This monster is bigger than all the monsters I have ever seen combined! The hard shell on its body cannot be broken by ordinary attacks!"

"Yes!" Zhang Meng raised his eyebrows, "However, you have to understand that the true meaning of difficulty does not lie in the strength of the enemy, but in whether you can find the 'point' to crack it."

"The point of cracking it?" Bai Xue looked at Zhang Meng in confusion. "You mean, it's the same as your usual puzzles? Can't you just tell me how to solve it?"

"Hehe, that would ruin the fun of the challenge!" Zhang Meng said mysteriously, "You have to slowly feel it and find its 'flaw'. Every monster has a weakness, no matter how invincible it looks."

"Oh? Weakness?" Bai Xue rolled her eyes. "Zhang Meng, do you think my head is a puzzle collection? Tell me where the weakness is, and I can easily solve it?"

"That won't do!" Zhang Meng raised his index finger and made a 'pause' gesture. "Like I told you before, you have to solve each 'challenge' yourself. Only when you find the answer yourself can you feel a sense of accomplishment!"

"A sense of accomplishment?" Bai Xue held her forehead with her hand, "I don't need a sense of accomplishment! I just want to know if I can survive!"

"Of course you can survive! But the prerequisite is that you have to be smart." Zhang Meng smiled proudly, "Look, the monster's eyes are lit up, it's ready to attack!"

"What?!" Bai Xue was startled, and when she came to her senses, she found that the monster's eyes were indeed emitting a dazzling red light. Its huge body began to wriggle, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression, making it almost suffocating.

"Zhang Meng, is this guy going to fire some kind of super laser?" Bai Xue tightly gripped the weapon in her hand, "You have to tell me how I can dodge it!"

"Hey, why are you so nervous?" Zhang Meng patted her shoulder, "Relax, look at its movements, its attack pattern is not complicated."

"Simple? Are you dreaming?" Bai Xue glared at Zhang Meng, "You can see its movements. I'm almost crushed by its aura!"

"Don't be nervous, Bai Xue, pay attention to its eyes! The monster's attack is determined by the changes in its eyes." Zhang Meng said loudly, "Once the color of its eyes changes, its attack method will change!"

"The color changed?" Bai Xue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. "The color of its eyes has turned red now!"

"Yes!" Zhang Meng shouted, "Be ready to dodge! Red means it's about to fire a laser!"

"Fire a laser?!" Bai Xue jumped away suddenly. Just as she jumped to the side, the monster's eyes flashed, and a blazing laser instantly pierced through the air and shot towards the place where she had just stood.

"Damn! It really is a laser!" Bai Xue's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She covered her chest and took a few breaths. "I was almost burnt to death!"

"That's right." Zhang Meng nodded with satisfaction. "This is the rhythm you need to learn. The monsters' attacks have a pattern. As long as you keep up with the rhythm, you can easily dodge them."

"Okay, Zhang Meng, you do have a point." Bai Xue quickly stood firm and re-examined the monster's movements, "But this is only the first wave. Next, you have to tell me about its second wave of attacks!"

"The second wave?" Zhang Meng raised his eyebrows. "Oh, Bai Xue, why do I feel like you are guilty? You are so smart, can't you even see the second wave?"

"You! You're just good at talking!" Bai Xue rolled her eyes, "Tell me how to fight the second wave!"

“Okay, okay.” Zhang Meng smiled helplessly. “As for the second wave of attack, the monster will launch a full-body attack. Look at its legs, they begin to vibrate violently, and then it will use its entire body to crush us!”

"Crush it with your body?!" Bai Xue glared, "Are you kidding me? It's so big, there's no way it can escape!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Zhang Meng laughed and patted her shoulder. "Look, although its body is huge, its speed is not fast. As long as you catch its rhythm, you can easily avoid it."

"Catch its rhythm?" Bai Xue gritted her teeth. "It's easy to say, but when it rushes towards me, I will know how to dodge!"

"Hey, just wait and see!" Zhang Meng smiled, "Come on, second wave!"

Following Zhang Meng's reminder, Bai Xue jumped forward decisively, avoiding the monster's huge tail and nimbly dodged its first round of attacks.

"Bai Xue, not bad! You have mastered the trick!" Zhang Meng smiled proudly, "But, there are more difficult ones next!"

"What? Even harder?" Bai Xue was devastated. "What more difficult questions can you come up with? I can't hold on any longer!"

"Haha," Zhang Meng's eyes flashed with a cunning light, "Do you still remember the 'puzzle' we talked about before? This monster is the real challenger of the puzzle!"

"Mystery?" Bai Xue was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple." Zhang Meng's smile became more and more mysterious. "This monster's attack is not only physical, but also psychological. The key is whether you can continue to stay calm, find its 'heart' and hit it with one strike!"

"Heart?" Bai Xue's eyes suddenly lit up. "You mean, attack its weak point?"

"Yes, it's its heart!" Zhang Meng nodded, "But the problem is, the monster's heart is not in its body, but hidden deep in its eyes!"

"What? Deep inside the eyes?!" Bai Xue almost jumped up in surprise, "Are you sure this is a hint? The monster won't just swallow my eyes, right?"

"Haha, don't worry, it won't be that simple." Zhang Meng said easily, "But you have to be prepared. Once you aim at its eyes, you must concentrate all your strength to strike in the shortest possible time!"

"Oh my god, I knew that the 'puzzle' you mentioned would be a big problem." Bai Xue took a deep breath, "Well, let me challenge you, and see how I defeat you!"

At this moment, the monster's eyes flashed red again. Bai Xue widened her eyes and stared at the monster's eyes nervously, preparing to meet the final challenge of this level.

Zhang Meng smiled more and more proudly, "Come on, Bai Xue, show us your smart brain!"

"You guy, don't think I won't throw you into the monster's stomach!" Bai Xue roared, with a fearless light flashing in her eyes.
