After accumulating power to its limit, Eudora used the dragon heat mechanism's red flame propulsion to leap into the air.
Sensing the threat, the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon attempted to move, but under the grasp of the four monsters, it was completely unable to budge.
"Hya!"
With a roar, the dragon heat mechanism was plunged into the rocky shell of its head.
*Sizzle~ Crash!*
As the propulsion jets fired and Eudora continuously applied downward force, the rocky shell on the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon's forehead began to crack and split.
"Break!"
Eudora, suspended in mid-air, realized the charge of her charged slash was depleted and channeled airflow into the sword's air intake.
*Boom!* A jet of red flame, taller than a person, appeared.
The slash continued to advance, and spiderweb-like cracks spread.
*Crack!*
A crisp sound echoed as the rocky shell encasing its head shattered in large pieces.
Eudora flipped backward, creating a suitable distance, and prepared to unleash a heavy blow with a charged swing while inverted.
*Whoosh~ Whoosh~*
As the rocky shell continued to peel away, revealing the pearl-colored carapace of the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon's face amidst the dust stirred up.
Seeing its narrow, closed eyes, Eudora, though shocked, steadied her emotions and continued charging her attack in the air.
*Clack~*
The Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon, with its eyes closed, slightly turned its neck, "looking" at Eudora.
"The sensing organ, the慈眼壳 (Cíyǎn Ké), is located in the gap of the crown shell right in the center of its forehead. It can't scare me!"
Having understood why the opponent could close its eyes and face her, Eudora, regaining her courage, continued to charge.
By this time, the shedding of the rocky shell had become unstoppable.
Its hollow chest cavity, formed by a dark blue outer shell, was revealed.
"Take cover immediately!"
Li Fan commanded, and he and the cat simultaneously raised their capture balls.
The four monsters responsible for the guillotine and the two supporting monsters quickly returned to their balls.
Eudora didn't persist either and quickly retreated while floating.
*Crash~ Boom~*
The rock layer on its massive back began to fall, revealing eight wing bones encased in twisted carapaces.
As Eudora landed, Bingbingzi erected multiple ice walls in front of the team, which were leaning against the rock layer, for defense.
Amidst the swirling sand and dust, the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon braced itself on its two claws and stood up.
*Roar!*
A sharp roar sounded.
The violently trembling ground signaled the arrival of a shockwave, so the team once again dodged by leaping.
*Boom!* The ice walls constructed of ice pillars began to shake violently, and the petal-shaped rock layer behind it tilted backward.
A moment later, the spreading shockwave subsided. Although the ice walls were cracked and distorted, they held on with Bingbingzi's continuous repairs.
"Is everyone okay?"
Li Fan asked, getting up from the sand.
"We're fine, meow. It just feels like the ground suddenly became very sandy."
Dilu said with some curiosity.
Eudora stomped on the ground and saw a cloud of fine dust rise. She speculated, "After its wing feet were exposed, I think its ability to generate shockwaves has become even stronger."
"After Bingbingzi shatters the ice walls, don't rush into battle. Let's see how things unfold."
Li Fan said and was about to direct Bingbingzi to break the ice walls.
"Wait a moment, Li Fan. Did the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon's roar just now have any meaning?"
Eudora asked.
"It sounded like it was saying... who is disturbing its arduous cultivation."
Li Fan said uncertainly.
"Arduous cultivation? ... Coupled with its previous inclination towards good, these don't sound like ordinary ecological concepts at all."
Eudora was very puzzled.
"Yes, the rocky shell has a certain defensive capability, but it doesn't seem to have formed on its body for defense. It's like a shackle."
Li Fan was also very curious about this.
Compared to the mud armor of the Earthshatter Dragon, the rocky shell of the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon severely restricted its own abilities, as if it were a shackle.
*Crash~*
A hole broke open at the bottom of the ice wall, and the team emerged.
By this time, most areas of the island had begun to turn into quicksand.
The petal-shaped rock layers that had spread out had all tilted backward, making the entire island look like a blooming lotus.
The dust and haze kicked up by the shockwaves obscured the sky, with only a few rays of sunlight filtering down, illuminating the 慈眼壳 (Cíyǎn Ké) on the forehead of the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon.
The eight wing bones resembled eight arms spread out behind it.
The Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon stood still with its eyes closed.
As more sunlight penetrated, golden halos flowed across the pearl-colored carapace, appearing from a distance like a divine statue standing in a temple.
"What a sacred monster..."
Eudora exclaimed.
"Such a majestic aura, meow!"
Dilu, with sparkling eyes, exclaimed.
"It's quite cool... but let's worry about ourselves first. The frost released by Bingbingzi has been shattered and dispersed. The ground is all quicksand, and I doubt we'll have a foothold for long."
Li Fan voiced his concern.
"Don't worry, meow. I have this."
Dilu said, unfolding the deflated windbag cloud.
Eudora injected airflow into it, and the cloud quickly inflated and floated into the air.
"I don't need to worry either."
Eudora patted her chest armor, and she and the cat then looked at Li Fan.
"After all that, I'm the one who needs to be careful..."
Li Fan said, feeling a bit speechless.
*Whoosh~ Whoosh~...*
The Ice Sea Three Brothers and the Golden Lion reappeared.
Upon seeing the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon after its rocky shell had peeled off, they were also taken aback.
They had changed enemies so quickly, it was impossible. Where had the earth and stone monsters gone?
"This... in general, it has transformed. Continue attempting the guillotine, but be extremely careful this time. It now possesses extremely strong offensive capabilities and is more agile in its movements. As for the quicksand that easily swallows the ground, Bingbingzi will clear a path for you. If you get stuck, don't panic. Remember to call for help with a roar, and Dilu and I will bring everyone into our balls immediately."
After outlining the combat deployment, the four monsters immediately attacked.
Bingbingzi flew ahead, spewing frost to create an ice layer on the quicksand surface, forging a path.
The four monsters sprinted forward rapidly.
The Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon, standing like a statue, sensed something and turned its head towards the direction of the approaching monsters.
*Whoosh~ Boom~ Boom~*
Its body slumped forward, and its two front claws, tipped with dark blue hooks, pressed into the soft quicksand.
The two wing feet were then inserted into the sand. The surrounding powdery quicksand seemed to turn into flowing water, and as it rippled, ring-shaped shockwaves spread outwards.
*Splat! Splat!*...
The spreading ice layer cracked into pieces upon contact with the shockwaves.
Seeing that it could no longer create a favorable environment, Bingbingzi condensed supercooled water for the ice layer path.
*Crash~ Sizzle~...*
Amidst the constant repetition of shattering and freezing, the four monsters reached close proximity.
*Creak~ Creak~*
A dry joint-twisting sound was heard. After adjusting the position of their six wing feet, they pointed towards the four monsters.
*Hum~ Hum~ Hum...*
Six transparent shockwave beams shot out.
Lei Ge backflipped, Yuan Jue Gui Huo stomped, and Che Che Long Chuan weaved through.
Seeing that his companions had moves to dodge, the Golden Lion felt it was time to show off.
So it unleashed its unique skill.
*Awoo~ Awoo~*
With excited roars, the Golden Lion continuously switched its left and right positions, leaping forward.
The Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon and Bingbingzi both frowned slightly.
Because a target that kept jumping around was extremely difficult to lock onto. Whether it was the shockwave beams or the ice formations, tracking and releasing them required immense effort.
After tracking for a moment, the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon simply gave up. After all, its six wing feet were already extending forward and firing, guaranteeing a hit rate.
Bingbingzi, laying down ice in an S-shape, was dizzy from the Golden Lion's movements. Eventually, it made a mistake, causing the ice layer to be laid in the opposite direction of the Golden Lion's lateral movement.
*Awoo~ A..woo!*
*Rustle~* The Golden Lion fell into a pile of quicksand.
"Little idiot, take me over there!"
Li Fan threw out a silk thread, wrapped it around the Little Idiot's claws, and brought the Golden Lion into its ball.
*Puff!*
*Roar!* With its crown trembling, Xi Xi, extending a giant electric blade, dived from the sky and struck directly at the back of the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon.
As the electricity spread, the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon's body sank. Before it could lift itself, Wan Pi followed with a fireball, and its hook-shaped claws, amidst the flying blue flames, repeatedly smashed its back with small hops.
The four wing feet, spraying from the ground, quickly rose, sweeping towards the air for defense.
The monsters attacking its back retreated rapidly, seeking higher ground to evade.
"Golden Lion, prepare for a grapple."
After switching the Golden Lion to an attack ball, Li Fan gave his orders.
*Puff! Puff!*
The attack ball flashed with golden light.
Li Fan aimed and threw the ball forward.
*Boom~*
With a flash of white light, the Golden Lion, leaping in mid-air, firmly grasped the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon's right foreclaw.
Yuan Jue, Lei Ge, and Che Che also arrived simultaneously.
Bingbingzi, having successfully dodged the shockwave beams, flew in a circle and began to spray at the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon.
*Sizzle~ Sizzle~*
Large patches of frost began to form on its shell.
At this moment, Eudora's guillotine below was forming again.
*Creak~ Creak~*
A joint-twisting sound was heard.
*Sizzle~ Sizzle~...*
All eight wing feet suddenly plunged into the sand.
"Even if you sacrifice defense, you want to unleash a map attack, right? That's unwise... Retreat!"
Li Fan said, and he and Dilu, riding the cloud, began to recall the ground monsters.
The Origin's isolated island was not very large. The Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon couldn't set up an evasive mechanism like in a game if it wanted to blast the entire map.
Therefore, the only way to evade was to ride on the monsters and escape into the air.
"Retreat... Alright."
Eudora, who was halfway through charging, had no choice but to give up.
However, the monsters' retreat did not deter the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon from its determination to release a super shockwave.
The liquid quicksand around the eight wing horns surged like a tide.
"I may not have a map attack, but I have precision strikes... Dilu, release the blue star flare."
Li Fan, observing the island, gave instructions.
"Yes, meow!"
Dilu said, raising the launcher and aiming it at the sky.
*Boom~* Seeing the blue fireworks explode, Wan Pi and Xi Xi, who had already flown to a safe area, began to ascend higher.
*Whoosh~ Whoosh~...*
As the two dragons flapped their wings rapidly, a small hole soon appeared in the yellow dust that obscured the sky.
Xi Xi raised its crown, and a current flashed high in the sky.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*...
Hui Hui, flying at high speed during propulsion, quickly caught Xi Xi's signal.
Glancing down through the hole, it locked onto the Heaven and Earth Tyrant Dragon's position.
*Roar! Boom! Boom!*...
After ascending again, Hui Hui accelerated in a circling flight until a layer of blue airflow appeared on its body.
With a spiral dive to briefly adjust its angle, its six thrusters on both wings fired at full power, and its diagonally descending body accelerated again.
On the lotus, where the sea surface was covered in dust, a blue star fell into the center of the flower.
*Boom!* An energy field condensed from life energy spread out in a ring on the island.
The high-frequency shockwaves, spreading wantonly, abruptly ceased.
*Roar~*
Hui Hui let out a cry and returned to the air.
*Click~ Click~*
The downward-thrusting gun wings rotated back to its front. As it descended, the six thrusters on both sides closed together.
*Hum~ Hum~...*
A giant blue beam of light shot through the yellow dust, directly hitting the center of the island.
*Click~ Click~*
Seeing its body about to fall into the sea, Hui Hui's gun wings rotated again, and it propelled itself towards the sky with thrust.
"Aerial shooting? That looks very difficult."
Eudora said in surprise.
"It didn't have this move originally... It seems Hui Hui has practiced quite a few moves when it was idle."
Li Fan was also a little surprised.
"There's no sound from the island. Is it still alive?"
Eudora held a Wirebug silk in one hand and picked up binoculars to observe.
"It's unlikely to be dead, but it's definitely severely injured."
Li Fan gave his assessment and directed Little Idiot to fly closer.
At this time, the island had become a quicksand pool with a spiral depression due to the continuous bombardment of the super shockwave.
"Ah? That cunning!"
Li Fan exclaimed in surprise when he saw a small part of a wing horn rising from the sand.
"What's wrong?"
Eudora hadn't noticed anything.
"This guy hid in the quicksand and dodged Hui Hui's Blue Star Skyfall."
Li Fan pointed downwards and said.
"Impossible. It was unleashing a super shockwave at the time. Hui Hui was so fast, could it be..."
"The 慈眼壳 (Cíyǎn Ké)!"
They both said in unison.
Clearly, this sensing organ that didn't rely on sight was more powerful than they had imagined.
"Even though Hui Hui gave up its flight posture to unleash the Blue Wing Annihilation, it was trying to make up for the damage, but unfortunately, the effect wasn't as good as expected."
Li Fan speculated.
"It can even predict and dodge Hui Hui's attacks. That means if the 慈眼壳 (Cíyǎn Ké) isn't destroyed, none of the high-power attacks will hit."
Eudora suddenly felt that things were becoming difficult.
"Destroying monster organs... Isn't that our specialty?"
Li Fan said, wiping the dust from the hunter's badge on his chest.
"That's right. After working with the monster team for so long, I've even forgotten the combat methods of a regular hunter... If a monster's organ has an adverse effect on combat, it should be destroyed first. This is a requirement for a three-star hunter."
Eudora suddenly realized.
"It's okay, no one knows. It's not embarrassing."
Li Fan didn't seem to care.
Eudora sighed softly and pointed to Dilu, who was diligently writing on the windbag cloud.
Sensing two gazes upon him, the sensible Dilu tore off the page he was currently recording, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the sea.
"The tactics need to change now. When it reappears from the quicksand, the three of us will join forces to destroy the 慈眼壳 (Cíyǎn Ké) first!"
"No problem."
"Yes, meow!"
