158 Earth Element
"If there really is such a cave connecting the interior of Falling Star Mountain, it will indeed be a good thing for us adventurers who are not afraid of death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info, but the first premise is ...... We need to make progress. β
Duan Qing and a few others slowly stood up from the ground, and at the same time faced the culprit of the imminent abnormal situation: "Just like the cave you said before, if it weren't for the strength of the poor people, what if you weren't afraid of death...... The whole map is endless. β
"If we can't move forward, it means defeat for us."
"But the player ...... No, it's that our adventurers are numerous, and they're getting stronger. The black-armored man clenched his fists, but his eyes were fixed on the scene that was about to appear after the dust drifted away: "Sooner or later, one day, we will be able to conquer the Falling Star Mountain." β
"Hey, I agree with that, but we can't see it now." Duan Qing, who was slowly retreating, suddenly reached out and touched it back, and sure enough, he touched a stone pillar that was blocking the way: "And there are so many elemental creatures in this place, it's really not ...... What we can deal with now. β
"We've made progress, but we've encountered this monster that we can't beat...... Hmph, is it true that fate is playing with people? β
"Don't give up." The woman on the side tightened the sword in her hand: "If you fight......
"The sheer size of the cavern down there has a slight advantage - if we can't beat this guy, we can still run and maneuver through the passage, but this place is ......"
Duan Qing looked back at the entrance of the cave when they came: "It's just a desperate situation." β
"What are you afraid of, if you can't run, you can't run, since there is no way out...... Nan Tieshan yelled: "That's **** mother!" β
"You guys, what are you talking about......"
The young man of the Norsr tribe had already been frightened by the terrifying scene in front of him and retreated to the rear, listening to the conversation of the other three people at this time, although he did not understand what they were about to face, but he also seemed to know in his heart that this thing that was about to appear in front of him was something that these three powerful adventurers could not despise. The next moment, two red rays of light lit up in the dusty darkness and shot in the direction where everyone was. The two red rays of light were like substance, scanning here from left to right, and Art even felt the heavy killing intent brought by those oppressive eyes when the red light swept across his body.
"Be careful! That's the earth elemental's induction! Xue Lingphantom Ice suddenly shouted.
"Roar!"
With some kind of strange scream, a strange monster of earth and stone appeared behind the dust that gradually subsided, its entire body resembling an irregular sphere, and its surface was covered in various colors of sand and stones. It had no obvious arms, legs, or feet, but it had a pair of red eyes that seemed to be like substance, shooting out from the gap between the few stones above the body, expressing its violent mood to everyone present, and at the same time, it seemed to outline the positive prototype of the creature.
"Does this guy still have eyes?" Duan Qing asked in a low voice.
"That's how it senses." The black cloak slowly dwarfed, as if it was dodging something: "That guy doesn't have eyes, so use this way to sense...... Heat. β
"Then what are you hiding, aren't we hiding nowhere?"
"No, that's just the way it evolved to observe, and the best way for the earth elemental to seek enemies is still vibration......"
"Roar!"
The elemental creature resembling a giant sphere didn't seem to want to give them any more time to discuss. It let out another monster-like screaming sound that it didn't know where it came from, and then launched an attack on everyone present.
And this first wave of attacks shocked everyone's eyeballs.
Debris, dust, wood blocks, gravel...... Large and small stones shot out from its ball-like body, flying indiscriminately in all directions, and Duan Qing, who was quick-eyed, turned around and shrank behind the stone pillar he had just touched, shrunk his body as much as possible, and used the stone pillar to block this wave of attacks.
"The rate of fire is quite fast...... staring at the various debris shooting out around him, listening to the sound of those things that were temporarily used as bullets hitting the stone pillar, Duan Qing secretly made an evaluation: "But the speed is average." β
"I was actually hit by a branch." Nan Tieshan, who was hiding on the other side, suddenly curled up, as if the stone pillar next to him could not completely block his strong body: "Ouch, yo, it hurts, it hurts...... What is this, leaves? Can it shoot this thing too? β
"It seems that the individual in front of you seems to be very edible." Duan Qing pressed the back of his head against the stone pillar and looked up at the area around the cave that had been illuminated by blue-green light: "Otherwise, I won't be able to vomit for so long." β
"If it only has this ability......" Reaching out again to test the strength of the hit, a fierce smile appeared on the face of the black-armored man: "That's a little too weak." β
He glanced at his fist, then leaned back and circled out from the other side of the pillar and strode in the direction of the earth-stone sphere.
"Hey, don't hit ...... yet"
"Drink, ah, ah!"
After only a few seconds of holding his arms in front of his forehead, the big man who was enduring the severe pain had already rushed to the side of the big stone, he ignored the red gaze that pierced his body, and handed his fist over: "Take my punch first!" β
Boom!
The dull sound of crashing echoed through the hall, and the chest-wrenching sound made Art in the distance cover his chest a little uncomfortablyβthe huge spherical body was sent into the air by the punch, and then gradually separated, disintegrated, and turned into pieces of earth and stones of various sizes, scattering in all directions in the direction it was struck.
The sound of the landing was endless, and those dirt and stones were sprinkled on the ground, and at the same time, the figure of Nan Tieshan punching in the rear was revealed.
"One blow!" He withdrew his fist and wiped the blood from his forehead and laughed: "Strong! Invincibility! Sure enough, the most powerful thing is the fist of labor and management! Aha......"
A gust of wind suddenly blew past himβthe golden sword qi swept straight across Nantie Mountain's side like a substance, flying towards the pile of earth and rocks that was all over the ground, and then, behind him, there was a whisper that belonged to the snow spirit phantom ice.
"Didn't hit...... No, not this one. β
"What's wrong?" The big man in black armor turned around and asked, "Scared labor to death......
"Get out of the way!"
Out of some instinctive reaction, Dahan did not turn back again, but immediately followed the backward direction, twisted his body and fell to the ground with difficulty. The whistling sound flew above him as he brushed his scalp, and Nantieshan, who was already lying on the ground, looked up and found that what almost hit him in the head was an earthy yellow stone.
The stone gurgled and rolled down to the ground in the distance, then shuddered and floated out of thin air, flying back behind him. The black-armored man stood up again, only to see the body of the huge stone that was about to reappear. This time, many of the stones that had been attached to the earth elemental did not fly back to its body, but continued to flutter around its body that was one size smaller, like elves constantly circling around.
"What's going on?" The Southern Iron Mountain Monster shouted, "Second form? β
"Elemental beings are inherently formless." The woman in the black cloak didn't show her figure when she spoke, but still hid behind an unknown stone pillar: "So it can be any form." β
"And what is it doing now?" Sensing that something was wrong, Nan Tieshan stared at the direction of the earth element, and slowly moved his steps back: "Do you show us acrobatics?" β
"Maybe that's what it's really like to fight, or maybe it's ......" Duan Qing shouted on the other side, "It thinks it's appropriate." β
"Suitable?"
Without giving them much time to discuss, the earth elemental in the next moment proved to them the effect of those flying gravel - they had already crossed arcs and headed towards the figure of the black-armored man.
β...... Wow, yes, yes, I can't stand it! β
It was only for a moment to resist, and the big man still had some regular resistance movements, but he couldn't keep up with the continuous attacks of the flying stones. He had no choice but to put away his fists, protect his head, curl up as much as he could, and then roll behind him: "You two! Think of a way! β
The next moment, the successive attacks were in vain.
The big man looked up a little confused, and found that the figure of the other man in the group had already raised his sword in front of him, blocking the attack of the rubble that had been like a rainstorm. He slammed the flying stone out of the sword after sword, and although the movements of the board and eye were slow, they were clearly and rhythmically presented in front of the eyes of the others.
"How did you ......?" and Dahan himself became even more confused.
"Don't be deceived, big brother." Duan Qing, who didn't look back, was still seriously parrying one after another: "Use a little more force to fly them, and the frequency of the attack will naturally decrease, because they will fly back ......"
After swinging his sword again and flying a stone, Duan Qing grinned behind him, "It takes more time." β
"It's not that easy." Nantieshan's voice was filled with more surprise: "So many stones ......"
"Rhythm is not for following, but for leading." Duan Qing's answer was still calm and calm: "As long as you disrupt its rules, don't follow the order of the opponent's attacks." β
Under the big man's somewhat surprised gaze, Duan Qing flew another stone, but this time, that stone crashed into another flying stone, snuffing out the next attack that was about to be approached in advance.
"You ......"
"Don't relax......" As if knowing what the other party wanted to say, Duan Qing interrupted the other party's question to himself: "Judging from the performance just now, this thing seems to have a high IQ, it will change its form according to the target's fighting style, if I guess correctly......"
"It's going to change again...... To kill me. β
Before the words fell, the opposite side of the battlefield really changed.
The change was swift and thunderous, and to the surprise of those presentβthe elven stones no longer flew, but quickly converged above the redder elemental creature, but that was only the beginning: with the action of some force, more debris and dust scattered around them rose from beneath their feet, and then gathered towards the focal point in the air.
In the blink of an eye, another spherical boulder larger than itself condensed in the air above it, and the dust that continued to fall because of the trembling and the trembling cavern that followed it all hinted at the power contained in the boulder.
What he meant...... You won't be able to fly this stone. β
"I can see it too...... Come on! β
Rumble!
The terrifying sound of breaking air pierced the air and flew straight to where they stood, then exploded into a cloud of sand and gravel the moment it touched the ground, blowing everything around them away. The two or three stone pillars near the center of the impact also fell to the ground due to the violent shock, and the glowing green light that had been emitting from them gradually dissipated as they collapsed, and a small circular area on the battlefield also became dark with their collapse.
"Ahem, ahem......" Duan Qing, who rushed to the left in a hurry, was unexpectedly helped up by the woman who was hiding in secret: "That thing...... How to kill? β
"We should have communicated......" The woman's voice paused, but looking at her hand clutching Duan Qing's sleeve and staring ahead, it seemed that she was also in a high degree of tension: "Just find its elemental core, and then ...... Destroy, it should be fine. β
"...... that sword you just had?"
"Yes, I didn't hit, it was a good chance." The black hood shook slowly: "It's a little far away, and the direction of the sword qi is not so easy to control, and I may have read the wrong ...... just now"
She continued to keep her body low, staring closely at the monster's head, the boulder that had condensed again: "The core of the earth element should be the hardest core among the four elemental creatures, so it must be difficult for ordinary attacks to work...... Why don't you get up yet, are you hurt? β
"Nonsense, my flutter just now is so standard......"
Talking casually, Duan Qing, who was lying on the ground, squirmed little by little, and turned his head in the opposite direction: "Is this attack of its infinite?" There are always some flaws, right? β
"Different elemental individuals have different strengths. And the one in front of you...... Probably been here for a long time. The woman's voice was still steady: "Judging by what it absorbs, it should be a strong guy......"
She stopped talking to herself abruptly. At the same time, Duan Qing also jumped and pounced in the other direction: "Scattered!" β
Then, another attack, the same as before, landed in the direction where the two of them had been before.
"It's so powerful, and the gathering time is so short, it's a foul." Leaning against the wall of the hall, Duan Qing wiped the dust on his head and face, gritted his teeth and said, "If you continue to cheat like this, don't blame me......"
His eyes froze.
Once again, the dust and rubble on the ground were sucking in the direction of the elemental creature, but this time the situation seemed to be different from the previous one - the earth and stones used to gather had not yet reached the top of the elemental creature's head, and a large round of ammunition had already gathered there.
It was an even more powerful blow.
"Pay attention! That stone is different! β
Duan Qing shouted in the direction where the other two might be, and then, regardless of whether they heard it or not, he stood up and prepared to dodge - judging by the previous two attacks, the monster seemed to have targeted itself.
However, this time it turned out that his judgment was still wrong.
The huge cannonball, wrapped in countless earth and stones, flew over with an unstoppable momentum again, but instead of heading in the direction where Duan Qing was, it smashed into the rear of the hall. When he looked in that direction, the female voice belonging to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice had already shouted. Unlike her usual cold voice, this time the shouting was full of anxiety.
"Yat!"
Bang!
