Liu Shifu was Floating in the air, feeling a sharp pain in his back.
A palm-sized ice pick was embedded in his back, but he gritted his teeth and fully activated Floating.
He looked down and saw Chen Bugu swiftly moving past him with Lin Ye, feeling a touch of envy.
That guy's ability was truly a bug; it was like the protagonist of a movie with a "fast-forward" function, always in control of his own rhythm.
Liu Shifu was very excited when he broke through to Black Iron Three Stars, because the speed of Floating had increased significantly, and he even felt like he was flying.
He was like a bird in a poet's pen, able to fly over eternity, free from the worries of being lost.
But even so, as he encountered stronger and stronger demonic beasts, he realized that he was nothing more than an ordinary sparrow, struggling to move an inch in a storm, unable to fly high or fast.
At this moment, the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle's speed was no slower than his.
Liu Shifu saw that some soldiers had already started firing their guns, trying to block the second Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle.
He also saw that Chen Bugu seemed to be arguing with that female professor.
Liu Shifu knew that all the demonic beast eggs had been shattered into pieces, and the only one that was relatively intact had been rescued by Chen Bugu.
If that was the case, would these Crocodile Turtles let them go?
Seeing Chen Bugu walk over and sit next to Lin Lin, Lin Lin extended both hands and used Holy Light.
Liu Shifu was slightly startled, then quickly realized that even if Chen Bugu was strong, he must have been injured in that situation.
But the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle had left them with little time; no matter how strong Lin Lin's Holy Light was, it was impossible to heal Chen Bugu in three or four seconds.
Thinking of this, Liu Shifu raised his Lianxin Crossbow, aimed at the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle's head, injected his mental power, and activated "Lianxin."
One white and one red, two arrows broke through the wind, shooting straight towards the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle's head.
"Thud!"
After a dull thud, the first arrow broke through half of the ice armor on the Crocodile Turtle's head.
The second red energy arrow shattered the remaining defense.
Unfortunately, after breaking through the ice armor, the energy arrow only pierced a small part of the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle's skin, not even causing a serious wound.
The Crocodile Turtle didn't even pay any attention to Liu Shifu, as the broken ice on its head was slowly closing up again under the influence of magic.
Liu Shifu's face was grim.
Indeed, he should have returned the Lianxin Crossbow to Chen Bugu.
Chen Bugu's attack power was the strongest among them, and only he could unleash the maximum power of the "Lianxin" skill.
But every time Liu Shifu said he wanted to return the weapon, Chen Bugu always refused, saying that he was the scout, the most dangerous role in the team, and with the Floating ability, this weapon was most suitable for him.
However, the result proved that this weapon in his hands could not unleash its maximum power at all. Even the "Lianxin" he used could not stop the Crocodile Turtle in the slightest.
Chen Bugu was unaware of Liu Shifu's thoughts; at this moment, enveloped in Holy Light, his anxious mood seemed to have eased slightly.
He naturally saw the "Lianxin" breaking through the air.
Not breaking through the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle's defense was also within his expectations.
Ice Armor Crocodile Turtles are known for their defense; even Awakened of the same level who are good at strong attacks find it difficult to break through their defense.
It was normal that it didn't break through. What concerned Chen Bugu was, was Liu Shifu injured?
A palm-sized ice pick was stuck in his back, and the clothes near the wound were already soaked with warm blood.
What's going on? Given Liu Shifu's Floating height, the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle shouldn't have been able to attack Liu Shifu unless it used that move just now.
Wait? That move just now?
Chen Bugu remembered seeing Liu Shifu when he looked up after rescuing the egg.
It seemed that Liu Shifu hadn't completely dodged that wave of ice picks.
At that time, he was looking up at Liu Shifu and hadn't noticed the situation on Liu Shifu's back.
At this moment, Liu Shifu was slowly descending towards them. His single "Lianxin" arrow hadn't caused much damage, and the second Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle had already charged into the crowd, making the situation on the battlefield suddenly grim.
Chen Bugu stood up and picked up the Rapid Wind Dagger.
"Wait, there's a strange energy in your body that I haven't completely dispelled yet," Lin Lin said hastily when she saw Chen Bugu standing up again.
Although she had only treated him for a few seconds, Lin Lin was certain that Chen Bugu's condition was indeed not right.
There was a strange energy in his body that was as difficult to expel as a maggot in a bone.
Although Holy Light was effective, it needed more time to be completely cleared.
"There's no time. You help Liu Shifu and Teacher Lin with their treatment. I'll go block that monster."
After Chen Bugu finished speaking, he walked over to Xu Lu.
"Professor Xu, whatever trump cards you have, you'd better bring them out quickly. Your soldiers are still trapped in the ice. We can't retreat today, so let's fight."
Although she was annoyed by Chen Bugu's previous attitude, Xu Lu admitted that what this man said was right.
Soldiers from the second row had already been injured in the fight against the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle, and she was also anxious, but what trump cards did she have left?
Liu Shifu landed next to Chen Bugu and forced a bitter smile.
"Sorry, 'Lianxin' was wasted."
Chen Bugu looked at Liu Shifu, intending to ask about his injuries, but the inexplicably anxious emotion made him coldly utter only four words.
"Get treated first."
After speaking, Chen Bugu no longer paid attention to Xu Lu and Liu Shifu. He picked up the Rapid Wind Dagger and immediately rushed forward; the addition of the second Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle had already put Bai Ting and the others at a rapid disadvantage.
Lin Lin quickly came to Liu Shifu's side and began to treat him.
"Liu Shifu, don't worry about it. There's a strange energy in Chen Bugu's body, that's why he's acting like this."
Lin Lin explained for Chen Bugu.
"We risked our lives to save him, what kind of attitude is that?"
Before Liu Shifu could speak, Lin Ye walked over and said angrily.
The low voice reached Lin Lin's ears, and she was startled. Teacher Lin was usually very gentle; she had never heard this tone from him before.
...
With Chen Bugu's addition, the pressure on Yan Kuan and the others was greatly reduced, but the situation did not improve at all.
The inability to break through their defense meant that a long battle would only consume their mental energy, and they would eventually fall back into a disadvantage.
Chen Bugu was also very annoyed at this moment; neither Fireball nor the Rapid Wind Dagger, his attacks could not effectively wound the Crocodile Turtle in front of him.
To severely wound the monster in front of him, he could still only attack its vital point, which was the exposed turtle shell in the center of its abdomen.
The others also understood this principle. Yan Kuan and Lin Xiaoxiao had been trying before, but unfortunately, they had not succeeded.
Lin Xiaoxiao's Cold Iron Dart had not yet reached the point where it could be used as an extension of her arm.
Yan Kuan's Earth Element spikes were feasible, but after the stream froze, both the air and the ground were filled with a large amount of ice elements, and other elements became extremely thin, which severely limited Yan Kuan's Earth Element.
The power of his skills was greatly weakened, and even if the earth spikes struck the exposed turtle shell, they could not cause enough damage.
But the most frustrated was Bai Ting; the pure ice on the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle's body could not conduct electricity, so his lightning was almost useless.
Chen Bugu gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk. He charged directly towards the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle, and at the moment of approach, purple light flashed in his eyes, activating Mental Shock.
Taking advantage of the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle's momentary daze, he activated Bullet Time and slid under the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle's body.
The dense ice shards under the turtle's shell cut One bloodstains on Chen Bugu's skin. He endured the pain, raised the Rapid Wind Dagger, and stabbed towards the exposed turtle shell.
Just as the Rapid Wind Dagger was about to pierce the exposed turtle shell, Chen Bugu suddenly found the "ceiling" in front of him beginning to descend.
This guy recovered consciousness so quickly?
It wants to crush me to death!
Two thoughts flashed quickly through Chen Bugu's mind.
He dared not gamble and quickly rolled to the side, sliding out from under the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle.
"Bang!"
As soon as Chen Bugu rolled out from under the Ice Armor Crocodile Turtle, he felt the ground shake, and dust and ice shards hit his face.
After using "Bullet Time" to widen the distance again, Chen Bugu looked up once more and found that all the ice picks on the backs of the two Ice Armor Crocodile Turtles were already standing upright, shaking slightly.
That move was coming again!
"Careful!"
Chen Bugu's warning was drowned out by the sound of the ice picks breaking through the wind.
From the backs of the two Ice Armor Crocodile Turtles, countless ice picks were erupting towards the sky.
Everyone looked up simultaneously, only to see countless crystal clear blue ice picks shimmering in the sunlight. They were as brilliant and beautiful as sapphires, yet silently flashing the cold light of death.
