Before Hong Hu finished, a hexagonal circle of light appeared on the surface of the leaf, and it surrounded the Silkworm Queen's giant body.
At that moment, the Silkworm Queen's aggressive charge suddenly stopped. She was pinned to the side of the circle, unable to move an inch.
In terms of effect, Ambitionist's ability was very powerful, but it was very difficult to actually use it … The main difficulty was the requirement of "Feys must be placed in the center of the formation in the diagram below." (The "diagram below" referred to a rather complicated Spirit Seed Diagram.) After adding Sorcery Seed Formation into the skill tab, the player would be able to see this pattern in the skill description window.)
In a direct battle, there was only one way for Hong Hu to use this skill … and that was to use light arrows (non-physical Feys of the same nature) to accurately mark the location of the formation's eye and then make his move. But the problem was … during this period, there was an eighty percent chance that the enemy would have left the range of the formation. (The size of the formation had to be controlled within a certain range, and it could not be too big or too small.)
In other words … his meticulous planning for half a day was very likely to be in vain …
Of course, there were other ways to set up the formation, like setting up a magic circle in a certain area and waiting for the target to take the bait. (Hong Hu had used this trap to kill a scenario boss before, and the Fey he had used at the time was a string of prayer beads.) But chances like that were rare, and the Devil's Maw Island scenario did not have that kind of condition.
Thankfully … the Silkworm Queen had a huge weakness, and that was underestimating her enemy.
It was her underestimation of her enemy that caused her to fight with a 'playful' attitude; it was her underestimation of her enemy that caused her to give up on dealing the final blow to Feng Bujue; it was also her underestimation of her enemy that caused her to overlook Ambitionist's strange behavior …
Actually, the joint attack by Hong Hu, Unrestrained Pegasus, and Atobe was just a cover. In the initial plan that the players had agreed on, Sorcery Seed Formation was the key. Be it Plan A, which was to split up to save the players, or Plan B, which was to focus on killing the boss, both required the cover of this skill.
If Plan A went smoothly, the players would be able to escape under the protection of this move. If they had no choice but to switch to Plan B, the Spirit Fixation Array could also be used as a powerful control move in battle, providing space for the players to attack.
Considering the low practicality of this tactic, Ambitionist came up with a method to fool the enemy. He, Brother Ma, and Atobe would attack at the same time, and each of them would use a ranged attack of similar power to create the illusion that the three of them were attacking at the same time.
But in fact … every time Hong Hu shot a few arrows, he would plant a longer-lasting light arrow at a specific location. With the cooperation of his teammates, even if the Silkworm Queen noticed this, she would only think that the light arrows had missed.
"Quick, do it!" Hong Hu shouted after the skill hit its target. "This stinky bug is very strong! The Spirit Fixation Array can't be maintained for more than twenty seconds. We'll finish her off in ten seconds! "
He was right. The light circle had just been activated, but it had already started to flicker. This was not a good sign. Looks like the depletion of Spiritual Droplets is much faster than expected. If this continues, we won't even last ten seconds, much less twenty seconds …
"Phew …" Atobe took a deep breath. After shaking off his fear, the desire for battle burned in his eyes. "Okay! I'll go first! "
Then, he put away the Peacock Screen and started to attack with his bare hands.
His right hand grabbed at the air, and a ball of white mist gathered.
The tip of the ice condensed to three feet, and the light shone ten feet.
A long sword made from frost quickly appeared in Atobe's hand.
"A Sorcery weapon?" This was Feng Bujue's first reaction, but now was not the time to ask that question, so he naturally did not say it out loud.
"Ha!" Atobe grunted. He raised the sword with his right hand and twirled it half a circle above his head. Then, he placed the blade before his forehead. His left hand reached out with two fingers to touch the blade. The blade was then enveloped in a white glow.
"Ice Wheel Slashing Mirror!" White spirit energy radiated from Atobe's body, and it rushed into the sky. The ice sword in his hand swung diagonally.
Ching!
The sword slashed forward, and the sound of ice breaking armor echoed through the air.
The crystal-clear energy slammed into the Silkworm Mother, and in one second, she was sealed in ice.
"How could something like that happen!"
The Silkworm Mother gasped in shock.
At that moment, she realized … that she had underestimated her opponents.
The Silkworm Mother was cruel and violent, and in terms of power … she did have the right to be arrogant. But she should not have been so careless when facing these 'travelers from another world' … because they were humans.
No matter how much the creatures of the multiverse looked down on humans, they could not deny the power of these creatures … This power did not come from the power of physical evolution or mental state, and it definitely did not come from the superiority of technology …
"The scariest thing about humans is their unpredictability." This was something that Xing Shi had once told the Silkworm Mother, and she finally understood it. A race with endless possibilities was the most dangerous enemy.
"It's still not over yet!" Feng Bujue reacted quickly. He saw the carcasses moving slowly in the air, and he knew that the Silkworm Mother was still alive. "Remove the source of the problem!"
While reminding his teammates, Brother Jue also made his move. Without hesitation, he activated the Spiritual Sense Body Building Technique — Modified. He strode forward and followed up with the Southern Dipper Flying Dragon Fist.
"I'll help as well!" Unrestrained Pegasus also stood up from the leaf. He wiped the blood from his nose and used Pegasus Meteor Punch again.
At that moment, the light from the Spirit Sealing Circle disappeared. Hong Hu, who had his hands free, pulled back his bow and used the rest of his Spirit Energy to activate Explosive Spirit!
Slash, combo, pierce … three different directions, three different ultimate skills.
The Silkworm Mother, who was sealed by Ice Wheel Slashing Mirror, could not evade. She could only bet everything on this one attack. With the determination to die together with the enemy, she roared and attacked.
"Zha —" A sound that felt tangible burst out from the Silkworm Mother's body and spread out like a wave.
The players did not back down. Braving the impact of the sound wave, they used their skills as well.
Instantly, light flashed, and explosions were heard.
The rampaging energy intertwined and clashed above the leaves, creating a bloody storm.
Several seconds later, the dust settled, and the result was clear.
The silkworm mother's body shattered into hundreds of blood-filled ice lumps.
The players half-knelt on the ground and gulped down Life Potions.
"Ha … Ha …" Atobe gasped for air. After wiping away the blood from his nose, he suddenly laughed. "Ha … Hahaha! We won! "
"Sigh …" Feng Bujue sighed. "No … in a way, we still lost …"
