The Avalon Of Five Elements - Chapter 415

Chapter 415

Ai Hui’s warning made the team tensed up and everyone stayed vigilant, as if awaiting a big enemy .

A red glow flashed across and hit Fatty’s shield .

Dong, a stifled sound rang .

Fatty was trembling, his face flushed as though he was drunk . He staggered backwards before his legs gave way, causing him to fall onto the ground . A spider web-shaped crack appeared on the surface of his shield .

Piang, the shield shattered, its fragments scattering all over the ground .

This scene had everyone turn pale .

Fatty’s strength surpassed everyone in the team yet he’d failed to resist the blow from that red glow . And no one could clearly see what exactly was that red glow .

Another red glow flashed across and struck Fiery Floating Cloud .

Dong!

The defense cover of Fiery Floating Cloud had been activated all along so it managed to block off that glow .

They then saw clearly that the red glow was actually a ball of red lava . It slowly flowed down from the protective cover .

Ai Hui reacted the quickest, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Lava-spitting beast! Hide behind Fiery Floating Cloud, everyone!"

Then he picked up Fatty and quickly went over to the other side of the vehicle . Upon seeing that, everyone else followed suit .

Yet another red glow struck onto the defense cover . With another dull boom, Fiery Floating Cloud rocked .

Ai Hui was beyond frustrated . The lava balls spat by the beast were as mighty as cannons . Slightly weaker bodies would shatter into pieces if they were hit by them .

He’d previously seen a lava-spitting beast destroyed a camp bit by bit in the past . At that point in time, he’d never expected himself to encounter such a beast himself .

"We have to take it down!" Ai Hui turned his head and shouted to Iron Lady, "A few more hits and Fiery Floating Cloud won’t be able to hold up . "

Iron Lady raised her brows . "How?"

"I’m going to distract it," Ai Hui replied speedily, "and you need to try to get close to it . Your attacks will be effective . "

Luckily, Iron Lady’s water elemental energy could restrain a fire elemental wild beast like this one .

Without hesitation Iron Lady agreed .

Within the short span of their conversation, the beast had already spat two lava balls and Fiery Floating Cloud’s defense cover was evidently dimmer .

Ai Hui took a deep breath and rushed out from the back of the vehicle .

He had no choice but to fly upwards . The lava balls spat by the beast moved rapidly and were too difficult to dodge . It was wiser for him to interfere with its aim .

With a complicated topography like this valley’s, he could move about more nimbly on the ground rather than in the sky .

Ai Hui crouched slightly like an agile wolf and dashed towards the mouth of the valley in a zigzag pattern .

Lagging five seconds behind him, Shi Xueman flew forward from the other side . She followed the way he positioned himself and changed directions constantly to avoid getting hit, her high speed made her hair flutter .

Shielded by the Fiery Floating Cloud, everyone retreated slowly in search for another hiding place .

Ai Hui, who was the first to rush forward, had indeed managed to capture the beast’s attention . A ball of red glow shot past him but not without brushing across his body .

Boom, a big sheet of soil was raised off the ground as black smoke rose from a big scorched hole .

Ai Hui kept a straight face .

The beast’s enormous body was like a lava-filled flood bag . When quiet, it was like a lava lake but when faced with enemies, it’s hidden snouts will be extended and sprayed them with its lava . The lava-spitting beast had two types of snouts, one long and one short . The long one was extremely formidable and terrifying but its accuracy pales in comparison with the short snout, which was the exact opposite .

The lava-spitting beast could not fly high but floated and moved easily in mid air . Having lived amid the lava for a long time, its eyes had already deteriorated . Nevertheless, its perception was still very keen .

Even tiny targets couldn’t escape his sharp senses .

Ai Hui’s heart stirred . Perhaps he could make use of this . Ai Hui kept changing direction at a high speed and black leaves flew up from the Starry Gem Swordwings on his back, dispersing like many nimble fishes . They drew strange arcs in the sky, which whizzed toward the lava-spitting beast from all directions .

While he was running, Ai Hui could feel the delay in the beast’s movement . Although it was a very short delay, Ai Hui managed to catch it .

The red glow appeared once again but what Ai Hui did not expect was for it to shoot toward Shi Xueman’s direction .

By now, Shi Xueman had already followed Ai Hui into the Wilderness a few times so she was rather experienced and had been careful as she was dashing and switching directions . The red glow swept, about a meter away, went past her, causing her to tremble .

Ai Hui rushed towards her, shouting, "It’s sensitive to water elemental energy!"

Lava-spitting beasts were purely fire elemental beasts that lived amid the lava . They absolutely abhorred water elemental energy .

Being exceptionally intelligent, Shi Xueman understood immediately and three short water candles appeared on her hands . She channeled water elemental energy into those candles and upon lighting them up, they transformed into balls of vapor . As they left her palm, they became an exact copy of Shi Xueman, dashing forward with that same posture .

In a flash, three vapor forms of Shi Xueman appeared by her side .

Smart, Ai Hui praised inwardly .

Previously, Shi Xueman never would had used water candles, a move she deemed inferior and harmless . After she followed Ai Hui around the Wilderness a few times, she realized that combat strength solely wasn’t sufficient at times . Many seemingly unremarkable moves usually had great potential .

The vapor images formed by the water candles could easily be distinguished by capable elementalists but not the wild beasts . All the lava-spitting beast could perceive was the water elemental energy that it loathed so much .

With her current abilities, controlling the vapor image was extremely easy for Shi Xueman .

And the people being shielded by Fiery Floating cloud were already hiding in another corner . Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and were ready for battle . They did not wish to see Ai Hui and Shi Xueman risked their lives .

Duanmu Haunghun had a grave look on his face . Proud and arrogant, he felt extremely unpleasant that he wasn’t able to be of any crucial help .

Without a word he retrieved a grass seed from his waist pouch . He unfolded his palm, allowing the seed to roll onto the center . He channeled wood elemental energy into the seed, which caused it to sprout and to grow quickly . A few seconds later, a jade crystal grass appeared on his palm .

He said coldly, "Archers shooting beyond a two mile range, tear a leaf and swallow it . "

Sang Zijun and Jiang Wei made eye contact before tearing out a leaf each and which was then swallowed . A few other decent archers came over and did the same .

Entering their mouths, the leaf transformed into a green liquid .

Sang Zijun couldn’t help but ask, "What is this?"

"Eagle Eye Grass . Time is limited, only thirty seconds . "

The archers flew off immediately .

Sang Zijun exclaimed, "I see it!"

The rest jolted as they spotted the beast too . Their visions had sharpened significantly and they could see Ai Hui and Shi Xueman sprinting at the faraway valley . They could even spot Shi Xueman’s vapor figures from where they were .

Jiangwei said gravely, "Let’s not waste time . "

He drew out a shockingly long arrow and the others followed suit .

Ai Hui’s black swords were the fastest . They were like a group of black bees, which appeared over the beast’s head . Feeling threatened, the beast started to spray lava unceasingly from its short snout .

It’s short snout was exceptionally precise . In the blink of an eye, Ai Hui’s black leaves shattered into pieces, stinging his heart badly .

But the black leaves had a number advantage . While many had been destroyed, there were a lot more to intervene with the beast’s attack . What Ai Hui did not expect, however, was that the black leaves brought no substantial harm to the beast, only causing concentrated clanking sounds upon landing on its body .

Just then, sharp whistling sounds rang across the sky .

As the lava-spitting beast sensed danger, it raised its short snout and quickly spurted a huge volume of lava . The lava left its snout and opened up like a web, layer upon layer, which formed a red lava shield above it .

Clang!

An arrow pierced through the shield, which revealed its head .

Clang clang clang!

The lava shield trembled continuously .

An extremely low whistle sounded and the lava shield crumbled . An arrow struck the beast’s body with astonishing force . Dong, it pierced the beast’s round body .

The lava-spitting beast let out a sharp shriek as flames rose, which burnt the arrow in split seconds . The lava within its body surged and its wound was quickly patched up, although the color of its new skin was obviously darker . It looked like a scar .

The lava-spitting beast stopped suddenly .

As he sensed danger, Ai Hui called out, "Be careful!"

An unprecedentedly bright ball of red glow shot out from the beast’s snout like a red saber and towards Shi Xueman .

Shi Xueman reacted the moment Ai Hui shouted . She twisted her body and threw herself in another direction .

Boom!

An area of approximately two hundred square meters were raised by an invisible pair of hands as fresh red flames burst and mixed together like an advancing splash of molten iron . The three vapor figures had no time to struggle and were quickly enveloped and destroyed by this wave of terror .

Ai Hui was overwhelmed with shock . The horror of the thundering fire elemental energy surge could be felt even from afar .

Iron Lady’s face changed slightly as well . She would’ve been struck if it weren’t for the fact that she’d reacted immediately upon hearing Ai Hui’s warning . Having followed Ai Hui regularly into the Wilderness for the past few months, she was highly convinced of his acute judgements . Several times, her belief that Ai Hui’d made a mistake was ultimately proven wrong as Ai Hui had been correct .

Regaining his senses, Ai Hui realized that he had unknowingly closed the distance between the lava-spitting beast and himself .

He was supposed to be the screen and Shi Xueman the main assaulter . Yet, Shi Xueman had successfully lured that beast’s attention and had given him the chance to strike .

That terrifying blow from earlier took a rather heavy toll on the lava-spitting beast . The red glow within its whole body was visibly dimmer .

Although water elemental energy attacks were effective against the beast, it had the ability to restrain metal elemental energy attacks .

But Ai Hui believed in his swordsmanship .

He was unprecedentedly focused as the elemental energy within his body surged and every piece of flesh was completely adjusted .

Without the slightest delay, he brazenly thrusted his sword .
