“Xiao Xiao, use your ability to assist Ba Dou. You two go first via that rope, Bai Ting and I will buy you time.”
Yan Kuan and Bai Ting both noticed Han Badou’s action of pulling the rope, and immediately realized that it would be key to their escape.
However, the enemy would not just watch them escape, so someone had to stay behind to buy time.
In terms of direct combat ability, Lin Xiaoxiao was not as good as Bai Ting and Yan Kuan. She could not stop that monster, so taking Ba Dou and leaving first was the best option at the moment.
As for Bai Ting and Yan Kuan, who stayed behind, they could only take it one step at a time.
Compared to everyone dying here, even if only one person escaped, it would be a gain.
Looking at Han Badou’s bewildered expression behind him, Bai Ting understood that there was indeed no other way.
Although Han Badou was already far more mature than his actual age, he was still just a minor after all, and it was normal for him to show a bewildered expression when facing such a desperate situation.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the monster’s figure was revealed before everyone’s eyes.
It was a beast over three meters tall. Its appearance was not much different from the black anteater they had just killed; it was almost certainly the same species.
However, judging solely from its appearance, this one looked more like an anteater from Earth.
It stood on two feet, over three meters tall, its entire black skin had faded to gray, its two arms were muscular, its original sharp claws had degenerated and retracted, and its huge palms landed on the ground, making a heavy metallic sound.
Its head was also not as elongated, and there was no emotion in its golden-yellow pupils, only staring fixedly at everyone.
Just by standing there, this beast already brought a powerful pressure to Yan Kuan, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Han Badou.
Except for Bai Ting, the three of them subconsciously wanted to avoid eye contact with it.
Even though it did nothing, it seemed to suppress them mentally.
Bai Ting also noticed his companions’ abnormality, and he knew he had to step forward.
Perhaps thanks to the blessing of “Ninglei Yushen,” he was not mentally suppressed when facing this beast.
He could maintain the state of “Ninglei Yushen” for another thirty seconds. Before it ended, he had to weaken the monster opposite as much as possible to buy time for Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Badou.
If he just waited, and his strongest state passed, then he would have to face an undamaged enemy, which would probably leave no hope at all.
“It seems… Chen Dage is here…”
The reason Han Badou looked bewildered was because he was somewhat doubtful of his Energy Monitoring, after all, Chen Bugu should not have appeared here.
“Yes, I wish that guy was here too. He always has a way to deal with such desperate situations.”
“Ba Dou, don’t hesitate! You know what to do.”
After Bai Ting finished speaking, he turned and brought a flash of lightning, his figure instantly disappearing from his original spot.
Only then did Han Badou realize that Bai Ting had misunderstood him.
But Bai Ting was too fast; by the time Han Badou wanted to explain, he had already arrived beside the monster.
He locked onto the monster’s ankle and swung the electric blade in his hand with all his might.
Bai Ting’s idea was simple: he did not expect to defeat the enemy in front of him, only to weaken the opponent’s mobility as much as possible to create an opportunity for retreat.
The moment the electric blade in his hand swung out, a huge dark shadow also struck from the side.
According to his calculations, this shadow would hit him before he could cut the beast’s ankle.
Helpless, he had to change his attack direction and face the shadow coming from the side.
Only when the attacks collided did he see clearly that it was a huge tail.
This tail was like a heavy hammer, instantly sweeping Bai Ting into the air.
Electric light shattered from his arms, Bai Ting flew in the air, forcefully suppressing the blood in his mouth, and after stabilizing himself, he continuously threw two lightning javelins.
The beast swung its huge arms, its palms glowing like diamonds, directly shattering the two lightning javelins coming at it.
Except for Han Badou, everyone else felt even more despair at this sight.
“Ba Dou, stop messing around, hurry and come with me!”
Lin Xiaoxiao used her Mind power to lift Han Badou’s body, urging him to quickly climb up the rope.
“Wait, he’s coming!”
Han Badou looked up at the sky, staring intently at the pit they had fallen from.
At the same time, the huge beast moved; it possessed a speed completely unmatched by its massive body, like a slingshot start, it lunged directly at Bai Ting.
Yan Kuan hastily released one Rock Barrier after another, attempting to slow down the enemy and buy Bai Ting some buffer time.
But that beast was like a high-speed armored tank; the solid Rock Barrier was like paper in front of it.
It demonstrated the ultimate aesthetic of violence with its purest physical strength, crushing all the Rock Barrier in its path and continuing to rush towards Bai Ting without losing momentum.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly let go of the rope in her hand, fully unleashing her 【Mind】 to form an invisible hand, grabbing one of the beast’s feet.
In just an instant, her “Mind power” disintegrated, Lin Xiaoxiao had overexerted herself and suffered a backlash, blood flowing from both her mouth and nostrils.
But she also successfully bought a brief moment.
Yan Kuan seized the opportunity, pushing his 【Earth Element】 to the extreme, and four massive rock walls, five meters high, instantly rose from the ground, surrounding the beast.
“Stone Maiden!”
Inside the rock walls, countless sharp earth spikes burst out from the walls, attempting to impale the enemy within.
The next second, the four rock walls seemed to suffer a huge impact, instantly shattering into pieces and flying out.
The beast emerged from it unharmed and continued to charge towards Bai Ting.
Bai Ting had now accumulated all his power in his right hand; the violent lightning was compressed into a huge knight’s spear.
After an angry roar, he did not retreat but advanced, transforming into a knight in lightning, charging towards the beast with an indomitable aura.
This was Bai Ting’s strongest attack!
Lightning flickered, and the knight’s spear pierced into the beast’s huge palm.
After breaking through the body’s defense, countless lightning elements seemed to have received guidance, frantically surging into the wound.
After fighting until now, everyone finally left a wound on this beast for the first time.
However, for this, they had already exhausted all their strength.
Bai Ting was even slapped away by the beast after this attack.
Although the lightning cloak formed by “Ninglei Yushen” had blocked most of the damage for him, it was also shattered by this blow.
Bai Ting flew backward, fell to the ground, and continuously coughed up blood.
Several bones in his body were broken, and he had basically lost his combat ability.
Seeing the beast walking towards Bai Ting, Yan Kuan, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Han Badou were all anxious.
Just then, Han Badou’s expression changed.
In the pit they had fallen into, a dazzling white light suddenly engulfed everyone’s vision.
A violent and powerful energy beam instantly expanded the pit by three or four times, and then, like a divine punishment from the heavens, it struck the beast.
The wild white energy was like a laser; even though the beast raised its huge palms to protect itself, it was still forced back repeatedly by this blow.
As the white light dissipated, the beast’s palms had become bloody and mangled, and for the first time, its golden eyes showed an unusual emotion.
Under the gaze of the four people and one beast, a person descended from the sky with a longbow.
He landed on one knee, then stood up in front of everyone, slowly raising his longbow, his voice still unchanged.
“Long time no see, everyone! It’s my turn to attack now!”
