Chapter 97

The crystalline bodies of these creatures are purely material. The creatures are powerful because their bodies are extremely strong, and they can almost entirely rely on their powerful bodies to fight against well-trained warriors!

No wonder Bajie was worried.

The monster in Long Yi's eyes was extremely powerful; even with the strength of two dragon marks, it might not be easy to defeat it. Could it be that on the first day of the battle, he would have to use his full strength?

This is simply ridiculous!

But something was off. Even if this monster was strong, it wasn't strong enough to make you fear it. You are a dragon, and even a Dragon of the Abyss! As the leader of all powerful creatures, it's completely unreasonable for you to fear such a thing.

What is this?

"Bajie, give me the Dragon Slayer Sword! Give the monster data that Wesley gave us to Aileen! Aileen, check immediately what this is! I'll go help first!"

Long Yi shouted in a low voice. Before he finished speaking, he had already grabbed the Dragon Slayer Sword and rushed out.

"Xiaozi, get out of the way!"

Long Yi roared, his dragon aura fully unleashed!

Sword Slash!

A huge arc of sword energy cut through the air, heading straight for the monster!

"No!"

Xiaozi screamed in shock. Long Yi immediately knew he had made a mistake. Indeed, the monster was cut into two halves, and the two halves began to wriggle and separate, their bodies slowly growing to the same size as before!

"Brother Long, no matter how many pieces you cut this creature into, it will continuously absorb the power of the ice-encased puppets and regenerate to its original size. I originally froze them to slow down its absorption rate. In the end, you still cut it."

Xiaozi flew to Long Yi's side, her eyes slightly weary.

"Oh, I see... Sorry, you go rest for a while, I'll deal with it."

Long Yi chuckled, waving his hands.

"Magic Missile!"

Two magic missiles hit the monster, but the monster's surface glowed with the light of a spectral shield!

Damn, this is crazy! This monster can even use a spectral shield!

"Dark Impact!"

Long Yi raised his hand, but nothing happened; his magic power did not flow at all.

Something is wrong. I clearly used Dark Impact successfully before, why would it fail now?

The appearance of a new enemy completely enraged the monster. The two halves of the monster wriggled, and from its black gel-like body, it continuously shot out crystal darts over a meter long at an extremely fast speed. Even for Long Yi, dodging them was extremely difficult, and a slight misstep could result in being grazed by a dart. The darts contained extremely powerful magic power, and even a slight graze caused that wild magic power to surge into his body, causing the crystal dart to explode immediately. After a few rounds, Long Yi was also in a sorry state.

This is just ridiculous!

Long Yi immediately became angry, converting all nine layers of his magic power into fighting spirit, and unleashing nineteen layers of fighting spirit. Bajie was right beside him, so he didn't dare to unleash his full power, in case he accidentally forced Bajie to evolve, which would make his long suffering in vain.

Even so, nineteen layers of fighting spirit were enough to shock the heavens and the earth. The two black masses immediately realized that this enemy was completely different from before!

The two gel-like masses, mixed with various animal organs and covered in crystals, trembled, collided, and instantly merged into one!

No wonder Xiaozi didn't want to cut it. This bastard can grow larger after being cut, and then merge back together!

So what, then!

Long Yi pounced like a large bird, his arms spread wide, and a large mass of fighting spirit condensed and rotated between his arms!

"Dragon Fang Crush!"

Since you're not afraid of being cut, can't I just crush you into pieces!

The Dragon Fang Crush, released by nineteen layers of fighting spirit, had terrifying destructive power. The vortex filled with fighting spirit swallowed the crystal darts aimed at Long Yi and a large part of the monster's body, creating a huge hole.

The black substance was shredded into tiny pieces, splattering everywhere.

But in the next moment, Long Yi's face was left with only one expression: a desire to cry but no tears.

Because right before his eyes, those tiny pieces were continuously absorbing energy from the surroundings, growing larger, and then merging back into the main body, eventually forming a giant monster the size of a small mountain in front of Long Yi!

Well, I'm the one who messes things up.

Long Yi harshly criticized himself in his heart and then shouted loudly, "Bajie! Burn this bastard for me!"

Bajie, who had been holding back his dragon breath, roared joyfully, swayed his body, and rushed over, opening his mouth to release a large mouthful of dragon breath.

The flames hit the monster, immediately making a sound like water falling on red-hot charcoal, and a pungent smell rushed to their faces! The crystal darts, which had been writhing, all gathered at the burning spot, and several crystal explosions forcibly separated the burning part from the main body.

This bastard is afraid of fire! And it's so afraid!

But in a moment, the monster's lost gel-like substance had already recovered, looking as if it had suffered no damage at all.

"Bajie, keep burning it! I don't believe we can't burn it to death!"

Bajie was also full of enthusiasm, as he hadn't been active for a long time. His large belly sucked in air, making his already plump body look like a large, fat, unbreakable doll.

The thick dragon breath continuously spewed out, sticking to the monster's body and eroding it, much faster than Xiaozi's ice attacks.

"Brother Long, Brother Long! I know what this monster is!"

Aileen's voice came from a distance.

"What is it?"

Long Yi shouted loudly.

"It's a mutated composite creature! When a powerful creature is infected by crystal poison, it transforms into a creature. These creatures feed on other creatures infected by crystal poison. But when creatures meet other creatures, these originally powerful creatures naturally don't give in to each other. They start to fight for each other's bodies, and under various coincidences, their bodies merge, and their consciousness, being completely different, falls into a chaotic state, relying entirely on instinct to survive. In other words, what we're facing is a powerful, low-level creature that has merged several creatures!"

Low-level creature? No wonder its form is so primitive, and it can regenerate!

"Did Wesley say how to deal with it?" Long Yi shouted loudly.

"No! Wesley only deduced that such a creature might appear based on the characteristics of the creatures, but he didn't know that it actually exists!" Aileen shouted loudly.

Is this possible? Wesley is really a genius, but couldn't you also deduce its weakness while you were at it?

When we arrived, Xiaozi's ice attacks seemed to be somewhat effective, and my fire attacks were also effective. This means that the monster should be affected by all destructive damage except for tearing injuries.

But the monster is so large, even if it stands still and lets you burn it, it would take a long time. If Bajie were an adult dragon, it would probably take just a dozen breaths, but now Bajie is still a young dragon!

What should we do?

"Wait, Wesley said that if you encounter a particularly troublesome creature and want to deal with it, every creature has a weakness, which is the crystal core! Once the creature loses its crystal core, its body immediately collapses!"

Aileen shouted loudly again.

Crystal core?

Long Yi's eyes scanned the monster's body. He could determine that the crystal core must be hidden somewhere inside the monster. In general, when hunting creatures, once the creature is killed, its body collapses into crystals, and the crystal core naturally appears. But now, if we do the opposite, it will be a big problem. The creature itself knows that the crystal core is crucial to its survival, so the crystal core must be hidden deep within its body.

"Heh, I'm not afraid that you don't have a weakness. Once you have a weakness, you'll come to me and die obediently!" Long Yi looked at the monster and roared with a grim smile, "Bajie! Dragon Breath Armor! Maximum output!"

Bajie roared excitedly, and a faint cracking sound came from his belly. Then, dark red dragon breath, like molten iron, completely enveloped Long Yi. The dragon breath slowly flowed around Long Yi's body, gradually forming a very thick armor. It was entirely a fiery dark red, with flames burning fiercely!

Like a fire-drenched demon, Long Yi charged straight at the monster. The monster tried to retreat, continuously shooting crystal darts at Long Yi to try to resist, but Long Yi didn't bother to dodge. The Dragon Breath Armor formed by Bajie's strongest dragon breath was the most solid defense Long Yi could find at the moment.

As the darts shattered, the monster began to retreat, but its wriggling speed was no match for Long Yi's sprint. Seeing no way to avoid it, the monster's black gel-like body stretched, and a huge mouth opened at the front, filled with fangs made of various strange animal bones! The mouth opened and closed, and it swallowed Long Yi whole.

Immediately, the inside of the huge gel-like body began to churn violently, explosions happening one after another, and sometimes a large bubble would burst from the body, spewing out thick smoke!

"Brother Long, keep going!"

Aileen shouted loudly.

"Brother Long, keep going!"

Xiaozi also shouted from the side.

But gradually, the struggle inside the huge gel-like body subsided, and the monster no longer seemed so agitated.

"Oh no."

Xiaozi covered her small mouth, shocked at the monster in the distance.

"What's wrong?" Aileen looked at Xiaozi, her eyes full of unease.

"Every time the monster calms down, it means..."

"What does it mean?!"

Aileen's voice was already trembling.

"It means that its enemy... no longer exists!"

As soon as Xiaozi finished speaking, Aileen, who had been cowering, rushed out! At this moment, where was there any fear in her eyes? Where was there any hesitation? Her heart was already filled with deep self-reproach!

Aileen, Aileen, you are really a pampered young lady. You said you would fight with Brother Long and go on adventures together, but in the first battle, you hid behind Brother Long! You are just a spoiled fool!

It's all my fault! Everything is my fault!

If I could be by Brother Long's side...

Even if we were swallowed together...

I would do it without hesitation!

Magic power was raised to the extreme! The combat techniques already etched into her body were unleashed in a magnificent attack. Each strike tore the monster's gel-like body apart, destroying it!

At this moment, Aileen's face was full of regret, and she no longer cared about the loss of magic power. She almost used all the powerful spells she knew, channeling them through her fists and feet. This composite creature was originally powered by magic, and magic had a devastating effect on it.

Faster! Even faster! Brother Long, you will be fine! You must be fine! I will save you right away!

So slow! Why am I so slow!

Her eyes reddened slightly, and Aileen felt her tears were about to overflow.

No!

Brother Long doesn't like tears! Brother Long said! Battles never trust tears! Strength is the only thing that matters!

Aileen held back her tears, turning all her worries and fears into anger towards the monster in front of her!

Die, monster!

Die! Die! Die!
