25 You. Can’t. Kill. Me!

Unlike ordinary barbarians, Lu Chen was quick to understand his situation with the help of his knowledge.

The rhythm of the drum is in sync with my heartbeat. But every person has a different heartbeat, some faster and some slower.

Beyond that, even a person’s heartbeat can change after carrying out different activities. Although the drum is peculiarly able to control one’s heartbeat, it’s clear that it can only control one person’s heartbeat.

With his, Lu Chen figured out why the other two barbarians were not affected by the drumming. Clearly, the peculiar drum only targeted Lu Chen.

Shame, it’s not going to help me out of this situation even if I know the truth…

Wait, no, it’s not useless. This is a peculiar world. All I’ve figured out only applies to ordinary humans, it may not be how this world works.

If the peculiar drum were stronger, it could definitely control the heartbeats of a few or even hundreds.

But it’s only targeting me alone. That means even though it’s power is peculiar, it’s not powerful enough to be undefeated.

As he thought, Lu Chen’s heart was filled with hope again.

I can’t run, running will only speed up my heartbeat, it’ll be my end if that happens. I can’t walk either. The drumming can be heard from a far distance, it’ll take a long time for me to walk back to safety.

As he thought, Lu Chen stopped moving and instead, sat right down on the ground.

Of course, Lu Chen wasn’t giving up. First, he calmed his anxiety and then started to suppress his throbbing heart from beating too quickly.

Soon, his effort proved to be effective. After all, Lu Chen was still a Barbarian Blood Warrior, he had a high degree of control over his blood flow and heartbeat.

He gave it his all and was able to slow down his heartbeat a little.

However, Lu Chen still hadn’t freed himself from the effects of the drumming. Even though he had slowed down the rate of his heartbeat, the drum was still beating in sync with his heartbeat.

At the same time, no matter how hard Lu Chen tried, his heartbeat was still gradually beating faster overtime.

Fortunately, Lu Chen was still able to endure it, even when his heartbeat had risen to more than 300 beats per minute already.

Yes, that’s right, his heartbeat was more than 300 beats per minute, a level beyond the limits of any ordinary human. Any other ordinary human was guaranteed to have problems if they were in his position.

At the same time, Lu Chen’s blood flow was so vigorous that it posed a great pressure on his blood vessels.

If an ordinary person was in Lu Chen’s state, he would die either because of his violently beating heart or because of the rapidly flowing blood that pressured the blood vessels to break and die from over bleeding.

One could say, any ordinary human or even an ordinary barbarian would be dead for sure in his position.

But Lu Chen wasn’t any ordinary. He had 44 attribution points in his Constitution.

Although he wasn’t feeling good in his state now, he was just uncomfortable with it.

The more perilous the situation was, the more Lu Chen realized how useful the Barbarian King’s Bloodline was.

Surely enough, Constitution was the best. Although it can’t give me unholy strength like Strength or make me fast like lightning like Agility can, the high-intensity Vigor and iron-like body from Constitution gives me the ability to withstand any kind of perilous situation. It keeps me safe from death.

Then, he thought about the human-head fireball vaporized by his Vigor.

On the other hand, the peculiar drum was able to manipulate one’s heartbeat, but Lu Chen’s resilient body allowed him to withstand its power and prevent it from killing him. Of course, Lu Chen would realize more about the meaning of Constitution.

While Lu Chen eased his anxiety and figuring out his situation, the peculiar drum finally reached and stopped at its limit.

In the end, after Lu Chen focused on controlling his heart, his heartbeat was limited to 400 beats per minute, which was also the fastest the peculiar drum could go.

He closed his eyes and inspected his body, feeling his heart throbbing like an engine, a cruel smile broke out across Lu Chen’s face.

400 beats per minute, my body can still hold it.

Of couse, you who can only control a person’s heartbeat at a time has a ceiling to your power too.

Now, it’s my turn!

Frankly speaking, if the peculiar drum could manipulate three people’s heartbeat at a time, Lu Chen would definitely rush back to the village.

Even if he could die in the process of running away, Lu Chen would still do it. After all, if it could affect three people at once, Lu Chen wouldn’t be able to estimate it’s power.

But when he realized the peculiar drum could only affect one guy, Lu Chen’s fear toward it disappeared a little.

At the same time, knowing that vigorous activity like running and anxiety would only increase his heartbeat, he realized he would not last long enough to exit its range even if he slow-walked.

Therefore, Lu Chen chose to sit down, minimize his activity and controlling his emotions against the effects of the peculiar drum.

And this had proven to be the right thing to do.

Of course, it was only possible because Lu Chen was a Barbarian Blood Warrior. He was able to control the flow of his blood and the beating of his heart.

On top of that, his high Constitution gave him the ability to withstand the drum’s power.

If it wasn’t because of all of these factors, anyone else in his situation doing the same would still not be able to survive. A heartbeat of more than 400 beats per minute was more than enough to make their hearts explode.

However, there wasn’t an “IF” in his case. Lu Chen’s calm response and strong body made him pull through.

Now, it was his turn to make a move.

He slowly stood up from the ground and looked around while listening for the source of the sound.

After some time, Lu Chen locked on to the place where the sound was coming from.

It’s not far, but not surprising. Although it’s power is peculiar, it’s not strong enough to control someone’s heartbeat from miles away.

As he thought, Lu Chen walked slowly toward the source of the sound.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to move fast, but he wasn’t daring to. He was afraid that if he moved too violently, his heartbeat would suddenly increase.

Just like that, Lu Chen inched closer to the source while closely monitoring his heartbeat.

Soon, he stopped beside a bush and saw a small drum on the ground.

Lu Chen was shocked when he saw the drum. It looked like a man-made drum but had eyes and a nose with two little legs running away.

Sadly, it was still drumming crazily, and because of that, it slowed down its running speed.

“You didn’t kill me, so you die now.”

As he said, he slowly raised his sword and aimed down at the drum, ready to smash it into pieces.

But just before Lu Chen thought the battle was ending, the rapid drumming suddenly stopped.

As it stopped, the annoying sound also stopped.

But Lu Chen wasn’t relieved from it, instead, he felt terribly bad.

The drumming was closely in sync with his heartbeat. When the drumming stopped, Lu Chen’s heart also stopped beating.

His heartbeat went from more than 400 beats per minute to a total stop.

Like a speeding car suddenly comes to a stop.

Right at the moment when the drumming stopped, Lu Chen could feel his heart taking a heavy bash followed by a sharp pain.

At the same time, because his heart stopped beating, Lu Chen’s vision blurred out and he was on the brink of passing out. To make it worse, there was a huge amount of blood making its way out of his throat.

The peculiar drum indeed lived up to its name of being an Evil. In just a split second, Lu Chen suffered heavy internal injuries.

Even so, Lu Chen still pulled through.

I have 44 points in my Constitution, I am 44 times stronger than an ordinary human. You. Can’t. Kill. Me!

Pain contorted his face but Lu Chen didn’t suppress his injuries and spurted out the blood right at the drum.

“Arghhh!!!!”
