This attack did not seem to cause the same huge destructive power as the previous two attacks - the huge cannonball did not explode when it hit the ground, but crushed a path like a solid stone. In a straight line, after knocking over countless stone pillars along the way, he hit the rock wall next to the cave. Large clouds of dust were raised in the corner of that place, accompanied by a huge muffled sound. Duan Qing, who got up, endured the discomfort caused by the muffled sound and rushed over there quickly, but it wasn't until he endured the cough and waved for a long time that he dispersed a little bit of the dust in that place and saw clearly. The scene around the boulder.
The image of the young Nosir man who had been smashed to pieces in his imagination did not appear in front of him, but the scene was still disappointing - Art was not the one who was pressed down, the one who suffered the frontal The attacker seemed to be still lying under the boulder, with only one arm exposed.
It was an arm covered in black armor.
"Mr. Nan Tieshan, Mr. Nan Tieshan..."
Kneeling next to the huge rock, gritting his teeth and shouting the name of the big man in black armor, the young man from the Nosir tribe wanted to push the huge rock away. Naturally, it was impossible for him to move the stone that was several times bigger than himself. It's open. The stone was much larger than the stones Duan Qing had seen in the first two attacks. According to a hasty estimate, even if he was asked to do it by himself, it would probably take a lot of effort.
"What's more, he may not still be alive... Huh?"
On the avatar shown in the team member list, the life bar belonging to the captain Nan Tieshan has bottomed out, but it has not turned into the gray color of death. Although the current situation of the man under the huge rock cannot be seen, the Judging from the system prompts, the armored man who had always been rough and bold seemed to still be alive in that place.
"Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice?"
He turned to look at the woman on the other side, who nodded, indicating that he also noticed the problem.
"Okay, don't cry, he's still alive." After patting the young man who was still trying hard to rescue the big man, Duan Qing whispered to him to make room for him: "Just let me save him, you find someone first A place to hide…”
He suddenly turned around and swung his sword, smashing away a stone that was flying in the air. However, the flight path of the stone did not deviate much because of this. It still hit the stone wall behind Duan Qing, making a frightening sound. There was a crisp impact sound - at the extremely fast flying speed, the stone had been smashed into pieces.
It changed its attack method. It seemed... that it didn't want to touch this big rock anymore.
he thought in his mind.
"that......"
"I see."
Before Duan Qing expressed his arrangement to Xue Ling Huan Bing, the latter had already turned away from his position and faced the slowly approaching elemental creature.
She pulled out her long sword again, and then held her hands on the hilt: "I can't guarantee how long I can hold on."
Duan Qing did not answer, but squatted down.
The woman chuckled, then slowly shook her head: "You really... forget it."
"Giant Power!"
A violent force that shook the air came from the body covered by the black cloak. The black cloak flew away for a moment, and then slowly fell back down. However, it seemed that he saw the difference in the human being in front of him and slowly approached. The elemental creatures stopped moving.
It shot out a piece of gravel tentatively.
The stone, which fired at the same speed as before, flew in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing in an instant, but she seemed unaware of it and continued to maintain her posture: "I'm warning you once."
boom!
As if hitting a hard wall, the stone exploded in front of the woman. The hood on the cloak swayed at that moment, and the gorgeous long sword slashed across her at extremely fast speeds. In front of him, the aftermath of the air flow carried by him: "Let go of my companion."
The creature made of stone did not respond to the woman's request, but continued to shoot the next stone.
The woman shrank back and put the bullet behind her. Then she exerted force on her feet and suddenly accelerated, exploding in front of the elemental creature in an instant.
"Since you don't want to..."
Several pieces of flying rubble flew up from the surrounding ground, and then flew towards the woman's body at an extremely fast speed, but they were all knocked away by her - the spinning slash at that moment was extremely fast, even It was difficult to tell with the naked eye how many times the woman's body had turned at that moment.
"...Then let your sword speak!"
The long sword was suddenly raised when it was about to stop in the last circle. The cold light from the tip of the sword drew a complex and beautiful arc in the air, and finally terminated on the huge spherical body of the elemental creature.
"Drink!"
The sword that struck the stone was as heavy as a thousand pounds, but at this moment it made a harsh sound of metal friction - the body of the earth element that had shrunk by a circle seemed to have become harder, and the power of the sword was not enough to break its body. It opened, but a force still knocked it flying, and at the same time interrupted the next attack it was about to launch.
"My appetite is really big." The woman let out a low gasp: "I actually swallowed metal..."
She looked at the tip of her sword and found that it was trembling slightly - the shock of the sword just now still made her hands numb. The arms under the cloak twisted hard twice, and then tightened his wrists. Finally, he barely suppressed his involuntary shaking, but the metal-like body opposite him slowly floated up.
New attacks are coming.
"The improvement in strength can indeed make my reaction speed faster, but it still requires some adaptation, and..." the woman said to herself: "Time is limited."
Her eyes glanced behind her, then moved forward again: "But, if it's just for a while..."
Once again blocking a rapidly coming stone, Xueling Huanbing jumped two steps to the left, then moved forward again, leaning towards the only enemy.
***************
"Hey! Brother! Are you still alive..."
"Say... something..."
Duan Qing gritted his teeth and held the bottom of the boulder for a long time, but he still couldn't pry the boulder open even a little. He looked at the shadow in the gap between the stones behind the arm, shouted a few words as humanly as possible, then rubbed his hands, preparing for his second attempt.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
Beside him, the voice of the young man from the Nosir tribe was very low, almost drowned out by the explosions from the battle ahead.
"No need to apologize, it's not your fault."
"But, but if it weren't for me..."
"That kind of attack, if it were us... it would be difficult to avoid it." Hiding the real situation, Duan Qing continued to comfort the lost young man without looking back: "Everyone I hit will lose their life. This guy is much stronger than you, so I might be able to save you if I take the hit for you... Hey!"
He made a second attempt, but this time only a few crumbs fell from the boulder.
"They're right."
Duan Qing shook his shoulders and prepared for his third attempt, but Art's self-blame once again reached his ears: "I am just a useless person, a burden, I can't fight, I can't Fighting, and always running into danger, always hurting others..."
"Maybe... I have been abandoned by fate."
"If you spend all your time complaining about yourself, you might as well think of a way." Duan Qing finally gave up on his third attempt and turned around impatiently: "Everyone knows you can't do it, so you can find a way to become stronger. Ah, although...this is not something that can be done in a short time, but you can also find a way on your own!"
He pointed to the front of the hall: "My companion is fighting that bumpkin alone. I don't expect you to rush forward to help, but at least you can think of a way to help, right? Do something... ..It’s better than standing here and feeling sorry for yourself!”
Art looked at Duan Qing for a while, then lowered his head in a panic: "That, that...I know! Let me think about it..."
Duan Qing shook his head, and was about to turn back and continue his task of transporting, when the young man suddenly shouted: "That's right! I remember the elders in the clan said..."
"That earth spirit has a heart."
"Earth spirit? Do you call it earth spirit?" Duan Qing pointed to the elemental creature in front of him: "And what is the heart, the core?"
"Uh, uh, maybe yes." Art said with some hope: "The elders have described that as long as you can kill its heart, you can kill it."
"Nonsense, we all know this..." Duan Qing covered his forehead: "Can't you provide something useful?"
"I, let me think about it again..."
"For example, do you know how to defeat that guy? Have the elders in your clan mentioned its weaknesses or anything like that..."
"The elders of the clan only said that the earth spirits are invincible, so we can only avoid them..."
Duan Qing raised his head to the sky and no longer wanted to pay attention to this guy.
"They never appear in windy snowy mountains and canyons, so if we want to avoid them, try to go to those places..."
"Huh?" Duan Qing looked at the young man's face and suddenly realized a question: "Are the attributes incompatible?"
"Wha, what..."
"That's right! Why haven't I thought of it... But it doesn't seem to work, is there any way..." Duan Qing no longer paid attention to Art, but began to look around quickly: "Be able to release the wind element..."
"Then, um..." Art asked carefully, "Did I help?"
"Yes! I'll go to the front for an interview. You stay here and don't move... No, you should hide in that place." Pointing to the group of stone statues on one side of the hall, he confirmed the other party's position. Qing quickly made arrangements for him: "Stop moving around. If it affects you again, no one will really come to save you."
Without waiting for Art to respond, Duan Qing left this place and ran toward the battlefield in front of the hall. There, Xue Ling Huan Bing was blocking all the opponent's attacks with one sword after another, and then waved his hands continuously to knock back the opponent's body again and again.
"It's quite powerful." So Duan Qing said hello first: "Hit the opponent until he has no power to fight back."
"There is no real harm." The black hood shook slowly: "And the time is almost up."
"I've thought of a way." Realizing that time was running out, Duan Qing got to the point directly: "Do you have a way to launch an attack with the wind element?"
"No, my long sword is not enchanted..." The woman turned her head in mid-sentence: "What do you mean?"
"It seems you understand." He raised his sword and chopped off a piece of gravel, and Duan Qing approached the woman: "If Art's description is not wrong...this should also be the reason why this guy has been staying there all this time. Reasons in the cave.”
"This guy is afraid of the wind."
"But...we can't come up with a wind-type attack..."
"Do you still remember that platform that has been lifted up?" Duan Qing suddenly asked: "What do you think...is the principle that can make a platform made of stone fly?"
The woman under the hood blinked.
"Also, the attack just now caused that guy to attract all the stones and soil present, but... I bet that black stone is still in your arms, right? "
The woman nodded with some understanding.
"I'll block for you for a while, you go like this...and then like this..." Continuously blocking the attacks one after another, Duan Qing slowly stopped in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "I understand. Yet?"
"But you..." The woman looked at Duan Qing's face: "Can you stop it? I know that you don't have any giant power..."
"Of course I can stop it." Duan Qing showed a confident smile: "As long as we can kill...or drive away this guy, the boulder condensed by it should also disperse. This situation... should be broken. So..."
"give it to you!"
He roared, and rushed towards the body of the earth element at the same time, shining the red light and stabbing him. He didn't care whether his attack was effective or not, and immediately withdrew to the side: "Grandson! Your grandfather is here this!"
The red light circled around and then locked on Duan Qing's body.
Parrying, slashing, flying stabs, even boxing and knife blows... mixed with ordinary attacks to save energy, Duan Qing calmly knocked away the stones that kept flying, and at the same time used all the skills he knew. The moves were all used in the same way. He kept moving back and forth, adjusting his movements and position, focusing on defense against the non-stop attacks caused by flying rocks, and then gradually regained his footing. Although there was no chance to attack, Duan Qing was happy to remain in this stalemate and was always waiting for that moment to come.
Finally, a touch of green came from the darkness behind. The green flickered back and forth in the air a few times, and then quickly approached here.
"It's time to fight back." Duan Qing turned around and resisted twice again, then flew back: "Just let you feel it..."
"The freshly baked sword in the stone!"
The hands under the black cloak, holding the long sword tied to a certain black stone, instantly passed Duan Qing's side and attacked the spherical body of the earth element.
