Bang--!

The crisp sound of swords clashing rang out as Lu Yuan wielded the Thousand-Patterned Blade and slashed fiercely at the Fire Rock Turtle's shell, simultaneously using the recoil to quickly retreat backward.

Lu Yuan stared intently at the enormous tortoise shell before him, his expression grave.

Whenever an attack is about to land on the Fire Rock Turtle, it will retract its body into its shell, using the shell to block all attacks.

The tortoise shell is incredibly hard.

Even now, the area between Lu Yuan's thumb and forefinger is still slightly numb as he holds the Thousand-Patterned Blade.

This can't go on!

Chi Lin and Ling Ye had already exhausted most of their spiritual power, but their attacks were ineffective. In contrast, the Fire Rock Turtle remained huddled in its shell, still holding back some of its strength.

Moreover, the Fire Rock Turtle is of a higher level than them, and its stored spiritual power is definitely greater.

If it comes to a protracted war, they will be at a greater disadvantage.

We need to think of a way.

Just as Lu Yuan was deep in thought, the Fire Rock Turtle, which was huddled in its shell, suddenly poked its head out and opened its mouth wide towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he reacted quickly by jumping back.

Unexpectedly, the Fire Rock Turtle wasn't trying to swallow him whole; instead, it was accumulating spiritual energy and suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful fire attack.

"hiss!!"

"Owner!"

Chi Lin and Ling Ye, who were looking for an opportunity to attack from the side, were about to turn around and rush towards Lu Yuan, but as soon as they took a step, they heard Lu Yuan's voice ring out again.

"Cough cough cough—!"

Lu Yuan waved his hand to disperse the dust and smoke in front of him, his expression slightly disgusted.

"This kind of fire attack can't hurt me at all. Can't you learn your lesson? Cough! There's so much ash!"

Upon seeing this.

Ling Ye and Chi Lin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But the Fire Rock Turtle stared blankly.

Its fire attack clearly hit, so why is this human completely unharmed?!

Seeing the Fire Rock Turtle's dumbfounded expression, Lu Yuan curled the corners of his mouth.

He had already sensed that the Fire Rock Turtle was accumulating spiritual power within its body, and at the same time, he was also channeling spiritual power into the Swift Boots beneath his feet. So, the moment the Fire Rock Turtle launched its fire attack, he immediately used the acceleration from the Swift Boots to dodge it.

As for the aftershocks of the surrounding flames?

Don't forget he's wearing defensive soft armor!

Although it was a bit tough to withstand the Fire Rock Turtle's attack, it could still withstand the aftershocks!

Moreover, he also has various buffs from Xiao Yi, greatly increasing his defense, making the Fire Rock Turtle's fire attacks useless!

After dodging the Fire Rock Turtle's attack, Lu Yuan quickly retreated to create a safe distance between himself and the turtle.

Seeing that Lu Yuan was safe and sound, Chi Lin and Ling Ye were relieved and continued their fierce attack on the Fire Rock Turtle.

They once fought side by side against the mythical beasts, which were of god-like status.

The Fire Rock Turtle is vastly different in strength from the Flying Beast, which possesses the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast.

The only tricky thing is that the Fire Rock Turtle has too high defense.

Given Chi Lin and Ling Ye's talent levels alone, it wouldn't be difficult for them to penetrate the Fire Rock Turtle's armor. However, whenever the Fire Rock Turtle senses danger, it will retreat into its shell.

This tortoise shell defense is practically cheating; no matter what kind of attack they launch, they can't break through the shell.

Naturally, it cannot harm the Fire Rock Turtle.

"The Fire Rock Turtle's shell defense alone cannot reach such a high level. The reason why Chi Lin and Ling Ye could not break through the shell defense is mainly due to the Fire Rock Turtle's earth-type innate skill."

Fire Rock Turtle has two innate attributes: fire and earth.

Fire represents offense, while earth represents defense.

Due to the environmental bonus of the endless sea of ​​fire, its fire attribute attacks are extraordinary.

However, to be precise, the Fire Rock Turtle's abilities are more inclined towards the Earth element, so its defense is relatively high.

If you want to deal with the Fire Rock Turtle, you must first find a way to break through its earth defense.

The relationship between attributes is based on the five elements and their mutual restraint. The element that can restrain the earth attribute is the wood attribute.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Red Phosphorus, use 'All Plants Are Soldiers' on the Fire Rock Turtle!"

Lu Yuan's voice suddenly came from behind. Chi Lin paused slightly as he was about to attack, and then without hesitation, he converted his spiritual power into wood and unleashed the wood-type skill, "All Plants Are Soldiers."

Immediately afterwards.

On the Fire Rock Turtle's indestructible shell, green shoots were breaking through, causing fine cracks to appear on the shell.

"It's a success!"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Don't forget that red phosphorus possesses three attributes: earth, fire, and wood!

In the past, in order to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention, I always used the most offensive fire attribute skills. However, after entering the endless sea of ​​fire, the wood attribute could not exert its original power because the temperature of the surrounding flames was too high.

However, against a Fire Rock Turtle with a type advantage that leans towards Earth, Red Phosphorus's Wood-type moves are a perfect counter!

In fact.

The effect of "every plant is an enemy" goes far beyond simply sprouting plants from the soil to assist in attacks; it can even affect all the surrounding plants.

Unfortunately, the endless sea of ​​fire contained only withered trees that were half-burnt to death. These trees were completely reduced to ashes under the continuous attacks of the Fire Rock Turtle. Otherwise, we could have truly witnessed the power of the "seeing enemies in every bush and tree" phenomenon!

Even so.

In the current situation, the "seeing enemies everywhere" approach has also achieved significant results.

As the tender shoots broke through and bumped against the Fire Rock Turtle's shell, the cracks grew larger and larger until finally it turned into clods of earth that fell off the real turtle shell.

"The Fire Rock Turtle was indeed using its skills to strengthen its shell's defense, but now that defense has been breached, I'll see if it can withstand the attacks from Red Phosphorus and Ling Ye!"

After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan gave orders to Chi Lin and Ling Ye.

"Use the combined thunder and fire technique!"

Without hesitation, Chi Lin and Ling Ye jumped to the same spot and launched an attack on the Fire Rock Turtle at the same time.

Seeing the lightning and fire intertwined, the Fire Rock Turtle felt a sense of crisis it had never experienced before, and immediately retracted its entire body into its shell.

Boom—!!!

As a deafening roar resounded, the entire Fire Forest Secret Realm trembled.

Startled, countless monsters fled from their hiding places.
