In the underworld, Yang Tao held a Guide Voodoo Doll in his hand, staring at the lava lake in front of him.
"It's time."
With a heavy heart, he tossed the doll into the bubbling lava. A loud roar echoed as a massive wall made of flesh appeared, rushing toward him.
[The Guide has died!]
[The Wall of Flesh has awakened!]
The Wall of Flesh had a huge mouth on its surface, constantly spitting out bloodworms that crawled toward him.
It also had two massive eyes.
Countless veins connected it to swarms of demons, which charged at Yang Tao as if they were trying to tear him apart.
The pressure from the Wall of Flesh was far greater than any boss he had faced before. It dominated the entire space around him.
Yang Tao gripped his Unreal Reforged Minishark tightly and unleashed a storm of bullets.
The only way to hurt the Wall of Flesh was by hitting its eyes or mouth—attacking its body did nothing.
After drinking two speed-boosting potions and reforging all his accessories for a +4% speed increase, Yang Tao moved incredibly fast.
He sprinted along a stone platform he had built in advance.
"It's too fast!"
The enemy's lasers fired at an insane speed, making them nearly impossible to dodge.
However, thanks to his healing potions and regeneration buffs, he quickly recovered from any damage.
He ate an enchanted golden apple, boosting his max health.
"Just die already!"
The Wall of Flesh was on the verge of death, but its speed had gone berserk. The lasers from its eyes were no longer firing in bursts—they had become continuous beams of destruction.
Yang Tao had no choice but to sprint forward at full speed, tossing grenades behind him. He couldn't even turn around to shoot.
With the final grenade explosion, the Wall of Flesh finally shattered.
All that remained was a cube made of Hellstone Bricks, containing all the loot it had dropped.
As the Wall of Flesh fell, a flood of messages appeared.
The ancient forces of Light and Darkness have been unleashed!
A dragon's presence has been detected—new mod discovered.
[Why is the dragon's power so overwhelming?]
Congratulations, player! You have obtained the Dragon Research Module.
Congratulations, player! You have obtained A Song of Ice and Fire.
Yang Tao collapsed onto the ground, exhausted. This was the closest he had ever been to death. Even though his body didn't feel physically tired, his mind was completely drained.
At the last moment, that massive mouth was less than five meters away from him. He could even smell the blood from inside the flesh mountain.
He took a moment to gather himself before checking the notifications that had just popped up.
"A new module just from defeating the Flesh Mountain??" Yang Tao was surprised. Normally, new modules could only be unlocked at the very end, but now he had gotten one just from this battle.
"Looks like my world is pretty generous!"
He dug up the loot bag dropped by the Flesh Mountain. Seeing that new monsters had already started spawning around him, Yang Tao took out a recall potion and drank it right away.
Back at home, Yang Tao immediately opened the Wall of Flesh loot bag and checked its contents.
There was a guaranteed drop: the Pwnhammer, which could be used after the Flesh Mountain to break altars and generate new ores.
If you use any other hammer, the altar won't break—it'll just heal instead!
There was also a Summoner Emblem and a Clockwork Assault Rifle!
And most importantly, the Demon Heart, which could be used to unlock an extra accessory slot!
After sorting out the loot, Yang Tao returned to his world and started researching the Dragon Research module.
