The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Chapter 209

After the Ice Princess's icicle hit the black monster, its body was temporarily frozen, but soon, black slime seeped out from the cracks in the ice, breaking free from the icicle and continuing to rush towards the crowd. These monsters were extremely fast and appeared before everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Xu Tiancai raised the Heart of Light Crystal above his head. The crystal radiated a dazzling light, forming a curtain of light. When the black tentacles touched the curtain of light, they made a sizzling sound, as if being burned, but they continued to attack the curtain of light.

"These monsters seem to have no physical form. Ordinary attacks have little effect on them. We have to find their weaknesses." Xu Tiancai frowned and said loudly.

Ah Gang tugged at the axe entangled in the black tentacles. He felt a powerful suction coming from the tentacles, as if sucking his strength away. He shouted, and a powerful force erupted from his body, freeing the axe from the tentacles. "No matter if they have physical form or not, let's scatter them first!" He swung the axe again, slashing at the black monster. This time, he infused the axe with his own fighting spirit, and it sliced ​​through the air, leaving a bright arc.

Lin concentrated, unleashing the advanced techniques of wind magic. Her hands danced, her voice muttering to herself. The air around her began to swirl violently, forming small vortexes of wind. These vortices flew toward the black monster, colliding with its tentacles. Like sharp saws, the wind vortexes sliced ​​the tentacles into pieces, but the black slime squirmed on the ground, converging toward the monster's main body.

The mysterious figure's eyes were solemn. He formed hand seals with both hands, and the forces of darkness and light merged in his palms, forming a lightsaber that shone with a strange radiance. This lightsaber was different from previous ones. A layer of black energy surrounded its blade, intertwined with the force of light. "This is a new technique I've mastered. Perhaps it will be effective against these monsters," the mysterious figure said, charging towards the black monster. With a single swing of his lightsaber, a sword energy imbued with the extreme forces of darkness and light slashed towards the monster.

After the sword energy struck the black monster, its body trembled violently, and its black slime seemed to boil, churning and swirling. The monster let out a sharp cry that echoed throughout the cave, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.

The white-clad figure's flute rhythm grew more complex, its notes transforming into elemental spirits of various forms. Some resembled birds ablaze with flames, others like cheetahs radiating lightning. They danced around the black monster, continuously releasing various elemental forces. Flames burned the black slime, and lightning exploded across the monster's body, slowing its movements.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, conjuring a thicker ice shield around them. Simultaneously, she unleashed another form of ice magic. As she chanted an ancient incantation, a layer of frost began to form on the ground, spreading toward the black monster. When the frost touched the black slime, its flow slowed noticeably, as if partially frozen.

Under the attacks of the crowd, the black monsters were somewhat affected, but they continued to attack. Black tentacles coiled around the crowd from all directions, trying to break through the light curtain and various defenses.

While fending off the black tentacles, Xu Tiancai carefully observed the monster's reactions. He discovered that every time the mysterious figure's lightsaber struck the monster, a momentary energy fluctuation would occur in its core. This core, hidden deep within the black slime, loomed.

"Everyone, pay attention to attacking their core, the center of their body, which should be their weak point!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

After hearing Xu Tiancai's suggestion, everyone immediately adjusted the direction of their attack. Agang swung his battle axe and chopped at the core of a black monster. The fighting spirit on the battle axe shone brightly and chopped the target accurately. Lin controlled the wind vortex, concentrating its power to sweep towards the core of the monster. The power of the wind vortex became even stronger. The mysterious figure launched another lightsaber attack, and each sword energy stabbed towards the core of the monster. The Ice Princess changed the attack direction of the ice magic, condensed a sharp ice cone, and shot it towards the core of the monster. The rhythm of the white-clothed man playing the flute became more and more rapid, and the elemental elves transformed from the flute sound launched a more fierce attack on the core of the monster.

Under the combined force of their attacks, the black monsters' cores suffered a severe blow. Their cores, like black crystal balls, began to crack. As the cracks widened, the black monsters let out even more shrill screams, their bodies violently twisting and expanding.

"Oh no, they're going to self-destruct!" the mysterious figure shouted.

Everyone hurriedly retreated, employing various defensive techniques. The black monster exploded in a burst of intense light, sending black slime splattering everywhere. This slime was highly corrosive, carving large pits into the ground wherever it touched, and leaving mottled marks on the cave walls.

"Is everyone okay?" Xu Tiancai asked. He looked at the mess around him and secretly thanked everyone for their timely reaction.

"It's okay, but these monsters are too scary. I don't know how many there are." A Gang said as he patted the dust off his body.

At this moment, a low roar was heard again from the depths of the cave. This roar was even louder than before, as if it was a roar from ancient times, shaking the entire cave.

"It sounds like there are more powerful guys behind us. We have to be careful." Lin said nervously. She cast wind element magic again to form a new wind shield around everyone.

As the roar grew closer, a massive figure slowly emerged from the depths of the cave. It was an ancient beast resembling a dinosaur, but its body emanated a mysterious black glow, as if condensed from a dark force. Its eyes were like two enormous blood-red lanterns, flashing with a fierce light. With every step, the ground shook.

"Is this... the soul of an ancient beast? Or a puppet controlled by the power of chaos?" The Ice Princess said in surprise. She waved her wand, ready to cast ice magic for defense.

The ancient beast opened its bloody maw and spewed a stream of black flames at the crowd. The black flames were so intensely hot that the air distorted wherever they passed. Xu Tiancai raised the Heart of Light Crystal and released a powerful shield of light to block the black flames. The shield flickered under the impact of the black flames, and Xu Tiancai felt a tremendous pressure.

Agang looked at the ancient beast without a trace of fear. He pushed his feet hard and rushed towards the beast. As he ran, his body gradually grew larger and his muscles bulged, which was his berserk skill. He raised his battle axe and chopped at the beast's legs. The battle axe and the beast's legs collided, sparks flying. But the beast's legs were very strong, and Agang's attack only left a shallow mark.

Lin cast wind magic, summoning a powerful tornado. It swept toward the ancient beast, attempting to engulf it. However, the beast was too heavy, and the tornado only caused it to sway slightly. However, the tornado also caught the beast's attention. It turned its head and spewed a stream of black flames at the tornado, instantly dispersing it.

The mysterious figure formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light formed a massive vortex of energy around him. He approached the ancient beast, each step imbued with power. When he reached the beast, he thrust the vortex of energy toward its head. The vortex collided with the beast's head, creating a violent explosion that sent the beast reeling back several steps.

The man in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into giant birds of light and elemental spirits. The birds of light attacked the behemoth's eyes, while the elemental spirits surrounded it, releasing various elemental forces to disrupt its movements. However, the behemoth's defenses were strong, and the birds of light's attacks only caused it to blink slightly, causing no substantial damage.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, chanting an ice spell. Giant icicles rose from the ground, piercing the ancient beast. As they approached the beast, the black light from its body melted some of the icicles, but some still pierced the beast, temporarily pinning it in place.

Xu Tiancai saw the icicles temporarily restrain the beast's movements, and he knew this was a good opportunity. Unleashing the power of the Heart of Light Crystal to its fullest, he transformed into a streak of meteor-like light, charging towards the beast. The longsword in his hand shone brightly as he stabbed at the beast's heart.

However, just as Xu Tiancai's sword was about to pierce the beast's heart, the black light on the beast suddenly intensified, forming a powerful shield. Xu Tiancai's sword pierced the shield and was bounced back, and he himself was also blown away by the recoil force.

"The defense of this giant beast is too strong. We have to find a way to break its shield." Xu Tiancai said after stabilizing his body.

Everyone gathered together again to discuss countermeasures. The mysterious figure looked at the ancient beast, thought for a moment, and said, "I've discovered that its shield is composed of dark forces and some kind of ancient energy. We can try to break it with opposing forces, such as pure light and purification."

"The power of purification? Where should we find it?" A Gang asked.

Lin suddenly remembered something and said, "I once read in an ancient magic book that in some special places, there grow sacred flowers with purifying powers. Perhaps we can look for them in these ruins."

"Then let's search separately. Everyone should be careful." Xu Tiancai said.

The group split into several groups and searched the cave for traces of the sacred flower. A thick fog filled the cave, severely limiting vision. Gang and Lin formed a team, carefully advancing along the side of the cave. Gang led the way, using his battle axe to chop away the vines and rocks blocking the path. Lin cast wind magic, detecting the surrounding energy fluctuations and searching for the scent of the sacred flower.

In a hidden corner, they discovered a faint light, which exuded a warm and pure aura, completely different from the surrounding darkness.

"Over there!" Lin said excitedly, and they walked towards the direction of the light.

At the source of the light, they saw a blooming holy flower. Its petals were as white as snow, and its pistil emitted a soft light, refreshing the surrounding air.

"That's it! Let's take it back quickly," said Agang. He was about to reach out to pick the sacred flower when the ground around him suddenly began to shake. A group of small black monsters emerged from the ground and pounced on Agang and Lin.

These small black monsters were similar to the ones he had encountered before, but they were faster and more numerous. Agang swung his battle axe and chopped at the monsters. His axe flew up and down, slicing up any that approached. But the monsters kept coming, and Agang was gradually overwhelmed.

Lin cast wind magic, summoning wind blades. They rained down on the black monsters, slicing some into pieces. But the fragments quickly reassembled and continued their attack.

"This is not a solution. We have to find a way to get rid of them." A Gang shouted.

Lin looked at the sacred flower, her mind stirring. She cast wind magic, creating a powerful airflow that evacuated the air around it, creating a vacuum. Then, she enveloped the sacred flower with the power of wind and flew it toward her and Gang.

As the Holy Flower approached them, the black monsters seemed to sense its purifying power and began to retreat. Gang took the opportunity to pull Lin and ran towards the gathering point.

Meanwhile, the mysterious figure, the Ice Princess, and the man in white also encountered some trouble. While searching for the sacred flower, they triggered some ancient mechanisms in the cave. Lasers shot out from the walls, instantly cutting the rocks in half wherever they touched.
