Flames soared into the sky, an异常 dazzling sight in the night.
The monster was flung back by the violent impact. At this moment, my speed was pushed to the extreme.
I appeared beside the monster almost instantaneously, my short sword plunging forward.
Lin Chun had been hit by the monster, but he was no longer what he used to be.
Even facing such immense power, he only retreated a few steps before swinging his long saber.
The monster retreated, but Lin Chun did not pursue.
"Now is the moment to witness a miracle..." Lin Chun said with a smile.
"Boom!" A terrifying explosion sounded again, and the monster was blasted into the air by the earth jars.
Lin Chun seized the opportunity and attacked.
Our battle had almost reached its climax.
Moreover, with the traps we had previously set, we now had a decisive advantage.
We could use the traps to inflict a second wave of damage on them. They didn't know where the traps were, but we did.
After the successive explosions, the two monsters were already heavily wounded, their green blood flowing onto the ground, a shocking sight.
Lin Chun and I had only sustained minor injuries.
"Let's finish them off directly, to avoid any problems!" I said sternly.
Lin Chun nodded and charged forward without a word.
The moment we were about to get close, the two monsters exchanged glances and ran in opposite directions.
Since they were heading in different directions, if we were to chase, we would each have to deal with one.
"Don't run too far!" I called out. "Kill them nearby!"
Lin Chun nodded, he knew the reason perfectly well.
These monsters had caught our scent. If they escaped, they might be able to track us using that scent, and we would be constantly pursued!
If that were to happen, we would never have a moment of peace again.
Therefore, we absolutely could not let them escape.
We both charged forward. The monster I was pursuing, seeing that escape was impossible, rushed towards me.
I gripped my short sword with both hands, flames instantly erupting.
In this situation, I couldn't afford to hold back and directly engaged.
This monster's speed was far greater than I had initially anticipated. It possessed terrifying power and slammed into my body fiercely.
However, I didn't retreat. Instead, I grabbed its arm and, taking advantage of the moment, plunged my short sword deep into its abdomen.
Green blood spurted out, and flames instantly engulfed its body.
I watched as the flames began to burn from within its body, and its skin started to blacken.
Only then did I retreat a few steps and sit on the ground.
This creature was clearly much more powerful than the one we had seen before. Although my strength had improved significantly, dealing with this one was still a struggle.
Lin Chun was locked in a fierce battle.
When I looked over, Lin Chun already had several wounds on his body.
However, the monster was not faring well either. Lightning struck it repeatedly, leaving behind gruesome scars.
I couldn't afford to rest and quickly rushed over, joining the fight.
Facing our combined assault, this monster had no chance of escaping.
At this moment, it did something I had not expected.
The monster abandoned its resistance and let out a deafening roar with all its might.
"ROAR!!!!"
The sound wave rippled outwards, like thunderclaps exploding in our ears.
However, it had little effect on the two of us.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Chun's long saber fiercely struck the monster's neck.
Terrifying lightning surged outwards, and within a few breaths, the monster turned completely black.
We sat on the ground, panting heavily.
This battle had been perilous indeed.
Fortunately, we had successfully eliminated the monsters. And so far, we had only encountered two, so there was no need to worry about others.
"It should be fine now, right..." Lin Chun asked me with a smile.
Hearing this, I was about to tell him that it was fine when I suddenly remembered the roar of the previous monster.
Logically, such a creature should have retaliated when it was dying. Why did this monster choose to roar loudly in this situation?
"Could it be... this fellow was signaling its companions?" I suddenly stood up, a cold sweat breaking out from my own conjecture.
Hearing my words, Lin Chun also stood up, his expression becoming uneasy. "If it was signaling its companions, how many monsters might come?"
I shook my head. Honestly, I had no idea, but it would definitely not be something the two of us could handle!
