The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

"Dragon Pride!"

Hong Yuan stared anxiously at the perfectly sealed wall, selectively ignoring the other person.

Long Ao and the ever-silent Liu Feiyu were locked on the other side of the wall.

At this moment, on the other side of the wall.

The space where Long Ao and Liu Feiyu were located was completely isolated into a pitch-black darkness, with cold water that reached above their ankles and splashed loudly when they stepped on it.

"Tch, it's just another one of those superstitious tricks."

Long Ao snorted disdainfully.

He pulled out a flashlight and searched in the darkness.

Faintly visible in the depths of darkness, pairs of scarlet eyes quietly lit up, coldly watching them; there were no fewer than dozens of such pairs.

"Perfect timing, saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one."

Long Ao's joints crackled and popped as his fighting spirit surged. He clenched his fists and prepared to charge forward.

"Stop right there, you idiot."

A hand gripped his arm, and Liu Feiyu's voice was clearly tinged with suppressed urgency.

Long Ao stopped moving, turned his head, and his eyes were full of displeasure.

"What did you call me? And, let go."

Liu Feiyu didn't let go; instead, she gripped even tighter.

"Use your muscle-filled brain to feel it properly."

He lowered his voice, "These things have no heartbeat, no physical form, they are all illusions made of water elements."

"Your fists are useless except for splashing water all over yourself."

Whether my fists are effective or not is not for you to decide.

Long Ao flung his hand away, his tone brimming with arrogance.

He didn't believe in superstitions, nor did he believe in Liu Feiyu.

With a roar, he sprang up and punched the nearest pair of red eyes.

It was a phantom of a lithe cheetah, which shattered under his fist.

There was no bloodshed or carnage, only a splash of cold water that soaked Long Ao.

"See that? It's utterly pathetic..."

Before Long Ao could finish speaking, a gust of evil wind rushed from behind him.

Before he could even turn around, he heard a "rip" sound and his clothes were torn open by sharp claws, leaving a long gash on his back. Fortunately, he retreated quickly, but his clothes were badly damaged.

He turned around, and the phantom of the cheetah that he had just scattered had reformed behind him, staring at him with its scarlet eyes full of mockery.

Long Ao's face darkened.

This feeling of powerlessness and frustration made his chest feel tight.

"Do you believe me now?"

Liu Feiyu's voice came from not far away: "You barbarian dragon, are you willing to listen to me now? Listen carefully, I need your help."

"Your strength isn't just for throwing punches."

He began to form hand seals, and water vapor swirled around his body.

"The core of these things is hidden in the flowing stagnant water; I can't see where they are."

Liu Feiyu raised her head and looked at Long Ao with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

"Use your power to shake up all the water here."

Long Ao looked at the red eyes that had gathered again and nodded.

"Okay, stay away from me."

He lowered his waist and dismounted, assuming a horse stance, his muscles bulging high, his power concentrated in his fists.

"Get up!"

With a low growl, he slammed his fists into the water beneath his feet.

Boom!

The powerful force was transmitted through the water layer to the ground, causing the entire enclosed space to tremble violently.

The puddles beneath their feet suddenly burst open, creating towering waves that sent countless water droplets flying into the air.

Amidst the violently trembling waves, those scarlet eyes began to flicker uneasily, and beneath them, cores emitting a faint blue light finally revealed themselves in the chaos.

"Three steps to the left."

A glint flashed in Liu Feiyu's eyes, and his voice was clear and decisive.

Driven by his fighting instincts, Long Ao instantly moved three steps to the left.

At the same time, a high-pressure water needle that Liu Feiyu had already condensed at his fingertips shot out, passed over Long Ao's shoulder, and struck the exposed blue core.

puff.

With its core shattered, the corresponding Cheetah Phantom let out a mournful howl and completely turned into a pool of stagnant water.

"later."

Relying on his combat instincts, Long Ao roared without turning his head and simultaneously delivered an elbow strike backward, knocking a phantom that was lunging at him off balance.

"understood."

Liu Feiyu's calm voice rang out.

He didn't even look before another water needle was released, piercing the core of the phantom from a tricky angle.

Two people who were originally at odds suddenly found themselves working together in perfect harmony.

As the last water elemental phantom was pierced by the water needle and vanished into nothingness, all the scarlet eyes in the space went out.

pat.

A few dim lights came on, illuminating the space.

Long Ao was soaked to the bone, but his eyes were unusually bright.

He looked at Liu Feiyu, who was also adjusting his breathing, and after a long while, he managed to utter a single, awkward sound from his nose.

"snort."

"You're not entirely useless."

Liu Feiyu glanced at him, ignoring the compliment that contained no real praise, but a slight smile appeared on her usually tense lips.

It's truly rare to hear words of praise from this savage dragon.

He turned around to inspect the stone chamber, where the water beneath his feet was receding at a visible speed, being absorbed by the ground.

Once the water stains had completely dried, intricate, scarlet lines appeared on the ground.

Liu Feiyu squatted down and gently touched the runes with his fingertips. After a while, his expression changed.

"Oh no! All the energy we released during the battle has been absorbed by this magic circle."

He stood up, and only then did he realize what had happened.

"This is a giant altar, and we are providing it with energy."

The moment he finished speaking.

boom!

A deafening roar, mixed with the howl of some kind of giant beast, came from the direction they had come from, and the entire theater shook.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

Without a moment's hesitation, they rushed toward the direction from which the sound came.

……

On the other side of the wall, the atmosphere around the coffin also became heavy with the loud noise.

"Was it Long Ao and his gang who caused this commotion?"

Red Kite held the giant axe horizontally in front of her, warily looking at the wall separating them.

An Changqing shook his head, his expression serious.

"No, it absolutely can't be Long Ao."

The voice just fell.

Boom!

Suddenly, a huge outline bulged outward from the wall directly in front of them, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered the entire wall surface.

"Be careful!"

An Changqing immediately shouted a warning, his longsword already drawn, protecting everyone in front of him.

The next second, the wall exploded.

Countless pebbles, mixed with the pungent smell of blood, scattered and flew everywhere.

A huge, twisted figure staggered out from behind the collapsed wall.

The deafening roar nearly lifted the entire theater.

"Oh My God……"

Hong Yuan looked at the monster in front of her, and her eyes became clear.

"What...what is this?"
