"I have an idea. Our mystic arts are all useless, but I feel that this demonic beast's poison is definitely able to strip away the life force of all living things, and turn it into its own." Zhu Yao analyzed. "I believe the way to counter it is to use mystic arts that do not have any life force."
Nangong Cheng was stunned. He widened his eyes and said, "Are you saying that only the earth and metal elements can hurt it?"
"Yes."
"No wonder only Fellow Daoist Northstar and Fellow Daoist Ximen were able to injure it." Nan Gong pondered for a moment before realization dawned on his face. "The sword formation is a metal-type spell technique."
"That demonic beast is very agile. Although the sword formation can attack, it can't hold it back for too long. Nangong Huang, how's your Earth-elemental magic? "
I already told you my name is Nangong Cheng!
"I'm not proficient in earth-type arts, but …" He turned to look at Zhonggu Lu who had been slacking off.
"What?" The muscular man, Zhonggu Lu, said with a disgusted look. "I'm not going over. That demonic beast is so disgusting. What if it accidentally injures my flower-like face when I get close to it?"
"…" Is this the time to care about my image?
Roar ~ ~ ~
Suddenly, that demonic beast once again let out a furious roar. Under the combined attacks of Yu Yan and Yue Ying's Sword Formation, many wounds had already appeared on its body. As though it had been forced into a corner, this roar was especially violent, and it was filled with pressure. Suddenly, he landed on all fours and changed his posture, but his body began to emit that kind of venom.
"Not good, it's going to use venom to attack." Nangong Cheng's expression changed. It had intentionally released so much venom. If it were to shake its body, the venom would definitely engulf the entire world. Even if it returned to the Purifying Pond, it wouldn't be able to withstand it. What to do?
He couldn't drag it out any longer. He had to end the battle quickly. However, Zhonggu Lu, this boorish man of the Appearance Association, actually dropped the ball at the last moment, not daring to step forward.
"It's settled then." Team leader Nangong Cheng had a serious look on his face as he sent a telepathic message to the two people in front of him. "In a while, after the earth-type spell is cast, the four of us will attack together and kill the demonic beast in one blow."
"I don't want to go! That poisonous gas is no joke. " Zhonggu Lu had a determined look. As he said that, he decided to fly in the direction of the Purifying Pool. "I'm so beautiful, I don't want to …"
Before he could finish his sentence. Nangong Cheng had already silently conjured a large water mirror in front of him. In an instant, his face, which had been infected by the poisonous gas, was reflected in the mirror.
Two seconds later …
Nangong Cheng silently covered his ears. Before Zhu Yao could even understand what he meant, a miserable cry instantly pierced through the sky. Everyone shuddered when they heard it.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~! My face!!! "
From the moment they entered the poisonous fog, the few of them had more or less been infected with some of the poisonous gas. However, he was the one who had been infected the most, and it was directly reflected on his face.
Zhonggu Lu's entire being instantly changed, and the divine energy around him instantly exploded out. Zhu Yao could faintly see that the thing called fury was currently burning around his body. He stopped in his tracks and glared fiercely at the Demonic Beast behind him. "You bastard, how dare you hurt my face!"
His figure suddenly flashed and rushed forward. Suddenly, there were a few rumbling sounds, and earth spikes shot out from the ground, directly nailing the beast's two claws. The beast let out a miserable scream. In an instant, the poisonous gas attack earlier was interrupted. However, it was not over yet. Right below it, a fist formed from earth suddenly appeared, instantly smashing the demonic beast onto the ground. In an instant, countless earth spikes and stone pillars shot out from the ground, rumbling as they wildly dug towards the demonic beast.
"Your grandpa, you dare to hurt my face, you motherf * cking dare to hurt my face. This old man has been cultivating for so many years, and there has never been anyone who dared to hurt my face. You bastard, trash. You actually dare to hurt me. Die, die, die … "
As he fought, he cursed. He used his mystic arts quickly and ruthlessly, and even his hair was standing straight from anger. Zhu Yao simply saw a bunch of damage values floating above the demonic beast's head: -1000, -2000, -3000 …
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Was this really that smug teammate who only knew how to slack off? Why did she feel like some sort of incredible seal had been opened, hey!?
"Girly, let's go." Squad Captain Nangong waved at her with a calm look. "Mn. Let's proceed according to plan. "
"…" Plan my ass! Flips table! Don't look as though everything is within your grasp, your gay friend is clearly going berserk, hey!
After Zhonggu Lu used earth mystic arts to vent his anger, that pitiful demonic beast no longer had the strength to retaliate. It finally let out a furious roar and used its claws to slap away those earth spikes, wanting to regain its dignity as a BOSS. However, Zhonggu Lu suddenly circulated all of the divine energy in his body and cast an art. In an instant, the ground shook, and after completing the hand seal, he immediately activated it. "Landslide, Earth Rend."
In an instant, the entire ground rumbled, and then, like an earthquake, it split open into two sides. The demonic beast lost its balance and fell straight into the ground. However, the instant it fell in, its figure began to transform. It grew a pair of wings and flew up. Just as it was about to escape from the fissure, Zhonggu Lu gritted his teeth. Zhonggu Lu gritted his teeth. In an instant, a dozen or so earth pillars swiftly extended out from the ground. Like chains, they wrapped around his body and directly pulled him back.
"Now!" Under Squad Captain Nangong's command, the other four people cast their arts at the same time. In an instant, four gigantic spiritual swords the size of mountains appeared in the air. Carrying boundless might, they instantly dispersed the surrounding poisonous miasma and smashed downwards at the same time, hitting the demonic beast.
A scream instantly resounded throughout the entire Secret Realm. Four rows of the same words floated out from that demonic beast's body. Lethal Damage – 100000! After struggling for a few times, it slowly lost all signs of life.
The surrounding poisonous miasma began to dissipate as well, revealing the originally blue sky.
Success!
Zhu Yao was a little exhausted. That sword strike earlier had used up a large half of her divine energy. In an instant, her legs turned a little soft. Her figure swayed, but the side of her waist tightened. In the next instant, she was leaning into a familiar embrace.
"Master …"
Yu Yan lowered his head to glance at her. After realizing that she was fine, he habitually stroked her head. He wanted to praise his disciple's outstanding performance, but he did not know how to start. How could he praise someone if he wasn't used to it?
Zhu Yao, however, had already pulled him towards the demonic beast's corpse. She had to admit, this BOSS was simply too hard to fight. Compared to the monsters she had encountered before, in terms of HP and HP, only the Gods and Devils could surpass it. The main point was, it even had magic defense, so the damage divine arts dealt to it was not very high.
However, fortunately, she managed to put it down. Squad Captain Nangong said that the Nascent Divided Pearl was in its stomach. Zhu Yao glanced at the mountain-like corpse, and her expression darkened. "This … Do I have to dissect it?" She was not interested in dissecting corpses!
"Dissect it?" Squad Captain Nangong looked at her strangely. "How's that possible!?"
Not dissect it? Then how were they going to retrieve the quest item? Just as she was about to ask. Suddenly, that pitch-black poisonous corpse emitted out a lustrous light, and began to slowly turn into mist in front of her eyes. In the end, it actually turned into a lump of purplish black poisonous miasma, which was more than a hundred times thicker than the poisonous miasma from before. "This … This is?" She was shocked.
"Don't you know that demonic beasts are undying?" Squad Captain Nangong gave a 'my teammate has no common sense' look.
"Undying?" Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. She turned to look at the half-dissolved corpse on the ground. "Could it be that it can still revive?"
"That's right!"
"…" Do you have to tell me such a terrifying setting with such a serious face, hey?
"This demonic beast was born from the poisonous miasma of this land in the first place." Squad Captain Nangong explained with a matter-of-fact look. "How can poisonous miasma have life? We are simply scattering it, and three days later, these poisonous miasma will once again gather into a new demonic beast. "
"…" This really was a monster, and it could even respawn endlessly, hey.
After Squad Captain Nangong said that, he looked towards the center of the poisonous miasma. A red light flashed, and a red pearl was slowly rising. It grew taller and taller, and it looked as though it was about to charge out of the poisonous miasma. His expression turned joyful as he pointed at the pearl. "That's the Nascent Divided Pearl. Let me first contact the teams from the other Secret Realms. "
Zhu Yao took a closer look, and saw six white words written on top of the red pearl: One of the key fragments.
Seeing that the pearl was about to fly out of the poisonous miasma, Zhu Yao took a step forward. She reached out her hand, and was about to pick up the BOSS quest item. She glanced at the strand of purple miasma on the pearl, and hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, a figure flashed by her side, and snatched the Nascent Divided Pearl before her.
"I never expected that with just the few of you, you would actually be able to defeat this demonic beast." Several unfamiliar figures suddenly appeared in the air. They were dressed differently, and there were a total of seven men and one woman. Their eyes were faintly filled with excitement. And the one who snatched the Nascent Divided Pearl was the green-robed male Deity who was leading the group.
"Who are you people?" Nangong Cheng frowned deeply, as he cautiously looked at this group of people who came with ill intentions.
"Naturally, we're treasure hunters." The leading man coldly snorted, as he looked at the clearly exhausted five people with disdain. "Seeing how the few of you risked your lives to kill this demonic beast, it can be considered as a form of hard work. I won't kill you all, so leave."
"You're trying to steal the treasure!" Squad Captain Nangong's face was filled with anger.
"So what if I am?" That man did not have the slightest hint of guilt.
Squad Captain Nangong clenched his fists, as he gritted his teeth in hatred. Though stealing treasures was a very common occurrence, and these Secret Realms were filled with such people as well. Nascent Divided Pearls weren't hard to come by, what was hard was how to protect the treasure, and how to find an opportunity to leave the Secret Realm together. Hence, before he came in to kill the demonic beast, he had already made preparations. However, he never expected that these people in front of him would be so shameless. The moment they killed the demonic beast, these people immediately rushed out to steal the treasure. Evidently, they had already set their eyes on them. Yet, they had yet to recover their vitality. In the battle earlier, everyone had exhausted their divine energy, especially Zhonggu Lu, who seemed to be completely exhausted. Against these people, they had no chance of winning at all.
"You guys aren't bad either. Just the five of you are able to kill this demonic beast. Even I have to say that I'm impressed." Though that man was speaking words of praise, his smile was filled with glee.
Squad Captain Nangong was already gritting his teeth in anger, while Zhonggu Lu looked as if he wanted to disfigure his face. Though, the expressions of the other three people were a little strange. Yu Yan still had an expressionless face that looked like a ten-thousand-year-old block of ice. Yue Ying simply looked at Zhu Yao with a focused expression, while Zhu Yao's face was … worried?
"You there …" Zhu Yao could not help but call out to the leading man who stole the treasure.
