Chapter 70 The mantis stalks the cicada

A golden light shot out from Ji An's fingertips and flew toward the monster's eyes, but this time he only used four-tenths of his strength.

The fire-horned rhinoceros has a strong defense, but it doesn't have scales on its eyes.

The monster reacted extremely quickly, tilting its head slightly to avoid the vulnerable spot.

The golden light struck the beast's hard forehead bone, barely piercing its tough armor.

The monster's attack arrived, and a passionate, fiery red light ignited in Ji An's eyes. The intense fire elemental energy rushed towards him, and he seemed to smell the burning of his hair.

A light blue glow appeared in front of him as he unleashed a water curtain spell to block the raging sea of ​​fire.

His body retreated rapidly the instant the spell was activated, while simultaneously activating a water curtain talisman to instantly set up a double defense.

Red and blue clash, flames and water curtains collide in a passionate battle.

Ripples spread across the water curtain, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

Ultimately, it failed to break through the seemingly thin water curtain, and the flames rolled back.

At this moment, the Fire Horned Rhinoceros's hooves stomped down, and the water curtain shattered like broken glass, breaking into countless fragments of spiritual light, which were reflected in the firelight in a dazzling array of colors.

The monster, its body as white as mutton fat jade, turned orange as rhinoceros horns, and suddenly crashed into the second layer of water curtain.

Ji An's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately activated another water curtain talisman, holding the stone tortoise shield in front of him.

He retreated again, his hand seals shifting as he cast the Water Curtain spell once more.

The power of fire magic can be judged by color, from weakest to strongest: red, yellow, blue, white, and purple.

The color of fire-based spells at the Qi Refining stage is red, like a furnace fire, while orange is a color between red and yellow. This Fire Horned Rhinoceros is likely another monster that is very close to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Is it that exciting? Having just joined the monster-hunting team, Ji An had encountered such powerful monsters twice in a row. He felt that his luck was off the charts.

Jiang Qiuyue watched as her companion released spells and activated talismans with effortless grace and safety. She had originally intended to use the Water Curtain Technique to further deplete the demonic beast's power, but upon seeing the color of the rhinoceros horn, she could no longer wait and immediately activated the Cold Wind Technique.

The second water curtain lasted only a moment before disintegrating into a sky full of stars, and the Fire Horned Rhinoceros, with its remaining momentum, crashed into the third water curtain.

The orange-yellow rhinoceros horn pressed against the water curtain, its powerful impact creating ripples, but ultimately it withstood everything.

The water shimmered before Ji An, and the fourth water curtain spell was completed.

A gust of white wind, about ten feet in diameter, swept in, and a thin layer of white frost condensed on the Fire Horned Rhinoceros's body.

The fire-horned rhinoceros roared; it hated the cold feeling so much.

As its anger intensified, its already enormous size swelled even further, and the white frost on its body vanished instantly.

Water can extinguish fire, but if there is little water and the fire is strong, pouring water on it is like adding fuel to the fire.

At this moment, Chen Moxuan had already helped Tian Yulei stabilize the situation. As he rushed over, he activated the Cold Wind Technique.

He noticed what was happening here and shouted:

"Attack with all your might, we only have a few dozen breaths at most."

The Fire Horned Rhinoceros opened its mouth wide, and a pillar of fire shot out, clashing head-on with the Frost Wind spell, resulting in a draw.

However, it was facing four people, and two more icy wind spells struck, instantly cooling the scorching red ground.

Chu He controlled the magical artifact and slammed it hard into the nasal bone beneath the rhinoceros horn of the demon beast.

Aside from its eyes and anus, the Firehorn Rhinoceros has almost no weaknesses.

This position can be considered the monster's weak point, not its weak point. If the attack is powerful enough, it is most likely to achieve a victory.

Now! Ji An's body burst out from behind the water curtain technique, his Gengjin Finger poised to strike.

The monster, in pain, instinctively opened its mouth and roared, causing the bull's head to freeze for a moment.

He unleashed his full power, condensing his Gengjin Finger into a form as thick as a little finger. The golden light, carrying an unparalleled sharpness, accurately pierced the demon beast's eyes, leaving it with no way to avoid it this time.

The fire-horned rhinoceros leaped up wildly, then jumped several times as if in a seizure, its head spinning, before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Great! Next one!"

Chen Moxuan cheered, "The timing of this attack is amazing. A moment earlier or later and the monster could have reacted."

Having dealt with the strongest of the beast pack, the Firehorn Rhinoceros, and then the other one, the scales of victory were completely tipped in their favor.

At this moment, the herd of beasts was less than a mile away from them.

The five of them rushed forward, sparing no effort in using their Cold Wind Talismans, and took down the second Qi Refining Level 9 Fire Horned Rhinoceros before the beast horde could charge over.

"Fight and retreat simultaneously!"

Chen Moxuan shouted with high spirits, "After we take care of the three fire-horned rhinoceroses at the seventh level of Qi Refining, the beast horde will be no threat."

The fire-horned rhinoceros is short-tempered and will go berserk when it sees its own kind die, fighting to the death without retreating.

This habit has two sides; if the opponent is slightly weaker, there is a high chance of being chased down and killed.

If the opponent is strong enough, the entire tribe will face the danger of annihilation.

The others also showed excitement. One of them, a fire-horned rhinoceros at the ninth level of Qi Refining, was quickly dealt with, saving a lot of Cold Wind Talismans. Now the team had enough resources to deal with these monsters.

Chu He suddenly noticed several black dots approaching from above, only a dozen or so feet away.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out there were four people, their faces covered with gray cloths!

He suddenly let out a low whistle and shouted quickly and urgently:

"Someone is approaching on the right, riding a Talisman Bird."

Upon hearing his voice, someone nearby immediately let out a strange laugh:

"Today is our chance to strike it rich! Guys, when the monsters charge, we'll deal with them slowly!"

Chen Moxuan's heart sank. The horde of demonic beasts had already charged over, and with someone harassing them from the sky, today was going to be dangerous.

The others also looked grim. This situation was extremely dangerous, as they had to deal with both aerial disturbances and the beast horde, and the slightest mistake could lead to their deaths.

Even if they kill all the Fire Horned Rhinoceroses, they probably won't have much magic power left to deal with these robbing cultivators.

Ji An's eyes darted around, and he made a hand seal to release the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique.

After the white mist condensed, it spread out and "splash, splash," the rain began to fall merrily.

He cast two spells in quick succession, and the two clouds merged together, obscuring everyone.

"You can do it like this?" Chen Moxuan's eyes lit up, and he was full of admiration for his junior brother's imaginative idea.

The planting spell could actually be used as a weapon to change the weather. The fog was so thick that the situation below could not be seen from the sky, so a sneak attack was out of the question.

But why is this cloud so huge?!

Without being told, everyone instinctively ducked into the rain.

It's better to have the enemy join forces than to be attacked from both sides; this is the combat code of a mature demon-hunting team.

Those who flew in to rob were dumbfounded. How could they restrain and launch a sneak attack if they couldn't see what was happening below?

A slender cultivator, unwilling to let his prey slip away, urged his talisman bird to swoop down, hoping to seize the last opportunity to inflict some damage on his enemy.

He held the black iron shield horizontally in front of his chest, and with the momentum of his downward thrust, the magic sword he controlled slashed out with a cold light, aiming straight for Ji An, who was at the very back.
