Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 320: Encircling and Killing the Fire Armadillo

The sky was gradually covered by thick dark clouds, and a damp smell filled the air.

At dusk, the sunset at the seaside is particularly grand, with the fiery twilight and the dim gray interlaced in the sky and earth. The wind began to blow violently, the leaves rustled, the dresses rustled, and everything around was reminding of the coming storm.

Twenty-seven monks of various appearances stood in front of the formation in an orderly manner, waiting for any movement from the deep pit.

There are eight people standing in the first row, and they are the leaders of various forces with strength similar to that of the Little Saint.

It is worth mentioning that You Su, a cultivator at the lower level of Condensation Water, was also among them. Although he was standing at the very edge of the team, his status was obviously much higher than the group of cultivators at the upper level of Condensation Water behind him.

"People only know that the Tianqi Divine Mountain of Nanyangzhou is good at calculations, but they didn't expect that the little saint is also good at this."

Among the people in the first row, a short monk laughed and praised loudly. Strangely, there was a horn-like protrusion on his forehead, and complex runes were engraved on it.

This person is none other than Lu Jie, another cultivator of the demon clan who has reached the perfection of water condensation, from the Jiaoduan clan. It is said that most of the clan's innate magical powers are condensed in this precious horn.

As soon as he said this, the cultivators who came from the Apocalypse Mountain naturally felt uncomfortable.

"You are wrong, Fellow Daoist Lu. The Tianqi Divine Mountain calculates destiny, and I only calculate drought and flood. They cannot be compared."

The little saint was quite humble. He was not a fool and naturally understood the provocation in Lu Jie's words. How could he let the demon succeed?

"Droughts and floods can save the people, but destiny cannot." Lu Jie said with a smile, completely ignoring the strange looks from the monks from Nanyang Continent behind him.

Even Hua Ranhua, who was sitting to You Su's left, couldn't stand the sarcasm in his words and frowned slightly.

"Lu Jie, please stop talking."

Ao Yunlie and Lu Jie were both geniuses of the demon clan from the Xingzhao Divine Mountain, and they had a good relationship privately, so they didn't feel shy about calling each other by their names.

After hearing this, Lu Jie also shut up.

At this moment, Lu Jie's smile suddenly faded, and he looked down at his feet, with tiny dust rising:
"The fire armadillo is coming out!"

Upon hearing this, everyone alerted themselves and looked towards the deep pit, ready for battle.

The shaking of the earth became more and more intense in a very short period of time. Some monks even felt their legs become sore and began to think about retreating. Most people here had never seen the terrifying beast hiding underground with their own eyes, and it was not until this moment that they believed in its existence.

Suddenly, the edge of the pit began to crack, dust flew up, and the air was filled with an indescribable burning breath. A low roar came from the cave, like a call from the depths of hell.

Just as everyone was staring with bated breath, a huge figure suddenly jumped out of the pit, like a moving mountain, shocking the surrounding monks so much that they retreated one after another.

The beast was covered with thick scales, which shone with metallic luster in the afterglow of the setting sun, making it look extremely majestic. Its huge eyes were like two blazing flames, emitting a frightening light, its limbs were thick and powerful, and the most terrifying thing was its long knife-like tail, which was full of the threat of death.

The appearance of the fire armadillo instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire scene. The faces of the monks were different, some were shocked, some were afraid, and some even began to retreat, fearing that they would be affected by this ferocious beast. The huge figure looked extremely huge in the sun, as if it was an insurmountable peak, pressing people to the point of suffocation.

"Don't retreat!"

Ao Yunlie shouted loudly, his golden hair dancing wildly. His roar seemed to have a powerful power to inspire people, and everyone calmed down.

"Meet the enemy!"

Ao Yunlie gave another order and everyone started to move.

The leading monks in the first row scattered instantly, and the monks standing behind them either began to condense the mysterious Qi in their hands, or took out expensive magic weapons and began to activate them.

Strange lights of various colors began to flash. This was the strategy that Ao Yunlie and others had initially decided upon after discussing the matter over the past day.

It was impossible to expect so many people to rush forward together and then drown the fire armadillo with a mouthful of spit. Facing such a huge beast, rashly surrounding it would only lead to death.

So they divided the camp into three parts: one was a team that took the opportunity to go down the cave to search for treasure, one was a team with long-range attack capabilities, and the other was a team responsible for close combat.

At the beginning of the battle, it is natural that the ranged troops will first deplete the fire armadillo's health.

The fire armadillo let out an even more deafening roar, as if it had sensed the offense from the group of ants and was declaring its majesty and anger.

Its limbs suddenly kicked out, and its entire body pounced forward. The ground made a shattering roar under its impact, like thunder, shaking everyone's heart.

"attack!"

It was the Little Saint who gave the orders again. They knew very well that for a fire armadillo with such a solid defense, it was meaningless to shoot spells one after another. Only when all the spells were used together in an instant would it be possible to shake this layer of black armor.

In an instant, all the rays of light turned into a violent storm and flew towards the huge body of the fire armadillo.

The fire armadillo would not sit still and wait for death. It suddenly kicked its limbs and burst out with an astonishing speed. The ground suddenly shook violently. Its body rushed towards the ranged troops like a cannonball in an instant, bringing up a gust of wind, rolling up countless sand and dust, and heading straight for the monks who were casting spells.

But Ao Yunlie and the others were not completely unprepared. Qu Zhaixing looked up to the sky and shouted:
"Formation!"

It turned out that the magic spells used in these attacks were just feints. Under the leadership of Qu Zhaixing, they had already formed a large formation outside the deep pit!
Eight-direction Prison Mountain Formation!
I saw a square dazzling light ring appeared at the bottom of the fire armadillo's feet and the top of its head. They overlapped and formed an octagonal shape. The fire armadillo's running movement was also blocked. The octagonal star was like an indestructible rope, trapping the fire armadillo to the ground.

At this moment, those spells and magic weapons also came one after another, smashing onto the fire armadillo's body, splashing large amounts of dust.

"Success!"

Some people in the crowd shouted excitedly, but those who showed joy did not notice that although the fire armadillo was trapped in place and was baptized by various magic spells, it did not make a single cry.

"Round 2!"

The little saint was also amazed at the thick skin and flesh of the fire armadillo. He waved his hands and gave orders at the same time.

Hua Ranhua, however, had not made a move yet. She stopped at a distance, glanced at You Su, and said:
"Excuse me, Master You."

You Su had been standing not far from her and nodded without noticing what she said.

Hua Ranhua finally felt relieved. She picked up flowers with her hands, and drops of dew condensed from her fingertips. Behind her, the shadows of clusters of flowers appeared.

This is exactly the unique skill of his master, the Flower Seal Master, the "Flower Seal Technique". Although it is learned by a delicate woman, it is a famous and dangerous seal technique. It is said that if the Flower Seal Master uses this seal with all his strength, the entire city will be reduced to ruins.

However, the cost of performing such a powerful spell is also extremely harsh. It takes a very long time to brew, and the caster needs to concentrate on absorbing the essence of plants and the mysterious energy of heaven and earth, and cannot be distracted by other things. It is for this reason that Hua Ranhua asked You Su to protect her. The fire armadillo continued to try to break free from the formation restraints on his body, and let out a roar that pierced the clouds and split the rocks, which made people's eardrums hurt.

The second round of magic followed, and it was even more powerful than the first round. Many people's hands were flashing with colorful lights. This time the attack would no longer be limited to the release of mysterious energy, but would include piercing thorns on the ground, harsh sound waves, and corrosive poisons.

The fire armadillo seemed to feel threatened. It stopped roaring and even leaned back slightly with its huge body, as if it wanted to escape.

The little saint's eyes were sharp, and he made a prompt decision, "Release!"

All kinds of attacks hit the giant beast like meteors. The fire armadillo began to struggle and tried to curl up its body and shrink into these scales that were impervious to water and fire.

Its violent reaction excited the besiegers, who all thought their attacks worked. But in the next moment, the fire armadillo suddenly opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar. The violent air wave blew away most of the spells, and a terrifying fire dragon spewed out of its mouth, rushing towards the direction of the little saint!

"It's not scared! It's gathering strength!"

Ao Yunlie's expression was stern. He understood the situation instantly and turned around to rescue the monk who was targeted by the thick pillar of fire.

But the fire dragon came with such ferocious force that the air was almost distorted by its sweep.

The monks who were targeted by it felt an invisible pressure and almost suffocated, as if there was no hope of escape at all.

Under such pressure, only a few people were still able to remain conscious. The little saint immediately summoned a solid earth wall to block in front of him, and the support of the monks from Beiaozhou also arrived.

There is thick snow on top of the earth wall, like a heavy barrier blocking the vast snow-capped mountains.

But they are only in the Water Condensation Realm after all. How can they compare with the divine beasts that have mastered the power of pure elements and whose strength is comparable to that of the middle stage of Feather Transformation Realm?

The barrier soon began to collapse and melt, but it at least bought precious time for the monks behind it.

But someone in the crowd was so frightened that he shouted:
"Tear up the letter and run!"

Then many monks with pale faces reacted, took out the invitation letters and tore them into pieces, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Lu Jie was also casting a spell to try to interrupt the fire armadillo's breathing. Seeing this, he also started cursing, thinking that these human cultivators were really cowardly.

"Spread out!"

Ao Yunlie also rushed over, veins bulging on his face. The Lion Roar Technique that had repelled Ming Dao that day appeared again, and actually stopped the fire dragon's invasion.

Just at this moment, a drop of crystal fell on You Su's eyelashes, and he looked up in a daze.

The long-awaited heavy rain finally fell!

The monks in the other three directions also reacted. Although the fire armadillo's breath was powerful, it had become a sitting duck at this moment, so they continued to bombard it with spells.

It was getting dark and the rain was getting heavier. With the cooperation of several water condensers, the pillar of fire finally did not cause too many casualties. The fire armadillo stopped breathing because he was tired or afraid of the rain.

Heavy rain fell, evaporating into thick smoke in the fire armadillo's burning mouth. Its eyes were completely burning, and the raging anger almost turned into substance. The Eight Directions Prison Formation also exhausted its profound power at this time, and collapsed in an instant.

"Disperse!"

At Ao Yunlie's command, all the cultivators fled in all directions.

This is not because they are afraid, but it is a strategy that they had discussed long ago!

Divine beasts are still beasts, and their intelligence is far inferior to that of humans. The completely enraged fire armadillo really didn't care about patching the hole, but wanted to destroy all these annoying insects.

While the fire armadillos are attracting their hatred, the team that has been hiding in the corner and preparing to go down the cave to search for treasure can also take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in!

In the distance of the battlefield, Ji Xueruo glanced at You Su's silhouette from afar. A trace of worry inevitably welled up in her heart, and she murmured:
"You must hold on..."

But the next moment, she mixed in with the crowd of people bending over and quietly entered the deep pit.

On the battlefield, the fighting turned into a real fierce battle.

The ranged troops were defeated by the fire armadillos, and the next ones to go into battle were the melee troops.

Ao Yunlie took the lead and rushed to the front. His weapon was actually a mace. It was said that every tooth on it was pulled out from the mouth of his former prey.

He had already found the fire armadillo's weakness. The beast was covered in armor except for its eyes. He used his extremely fast speed to fight with the fire armadillo on its head. The Little Saint and others followed suit.

"We can't give it a chance to breathe!" Ao Yunlie roared. He knew very well that such a combat strategy was risky. If the fire armadillo used the same breath attack again, they wouldn't even have the chance to tear up the invitation at such a close distance.

You Su also had to do nothing. As the person who was holding the fire armadillo back, he kept attacking the fire armadillo's back, although the effect was like scratching an itch through a shoe.

The fire armadillo was finally unable to bear the annoyance and let out a shrill roar. The air around it was instantly torn apart, and everyone was forced to retreat.

Everyone's faces suddenly changed because the fire armadillo suddenly turned its head and stared at Hua Ranhua who had been hiding aside and ready to fight!
Obviously, it detected the biggest threat!

Fortunately, Hua Ranhua opened her eyes at this moment, her face firm, and her voice was like the sound of nature:
"Bloom!"

The phantom flowers behind her actually became real and transformed into flower rain composed of mysterious energy, like shooting stars in the night rain.

Their movements contained mysterious rules, transforming into a formation-like and magical existence, forming a tangible seal that covered the fire armadillo.

Even You Su couldn't help but sigh that among the cultivators of the same level, this was definitely the most powerful blow he had ever seen!
This is a complete strangulation!

As the Flower Seal Technique was cast, Ao Yunlie also ordered the final general attack.

This group of peerless geniuses who had reached perfect condensation used their ultimate skills together, and the noise they caused was like an earthquake.

The flying dust made it impossible to see the fire armadillo's situation, but You Su, who had been paddling, suddenly widened his eyes!

Qu Zhaixing indeed withdrew his move and attacked!

Wait...his target is not Hua Ranhua, but Ao Yunlie!
