"Holy crap! What is this?"
The eels swam in the lava, stirring up waves of molten lava. Lu Yuan quickly took a few steps back.
After arriving in this world, he learned a lot about monsters, but he had never seen a species like this eel before!
"roar!!!"
The eel's head emerged from the surface of the molten lava and roared at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but swallow.
Goodness.
Its head alone is nearly ten meters long, and the eel's total length must be at least several tens of meters!
Such an adult demon beast must be at least at the Earth Spirit level!
Moreover, it seemed to be full of hostility towards him. Its eyes, the size of a small car, were already locked on him. There was no doubt that if he dared to make any move, the eel would attack without hesitation!
Lu Yuan stood still, not daring to move, but his mind was racing as he considered a solution.
This eel looks very powerful.
He was quite confident that Xiao Yi and Chi Lin could take him down together.
But right now, Chi Lin is still asleep and shows no signs of waking up, so Xiao Yi has to rely on herself.
However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the surrounding terrain and environment were also unfavorable to them. If they were to fight head-on, Xiao Yi would have no chance of winning.
Tsk!
Isn't this a dead end?
Lu Yuan frowned, his expression more solemn than ever before.
Just then.
The eel, which had been motionless, suddenly tilted its head back.
"not good!"
Lu Yuan was greatly alarmed.
The next second, a breath powerful enough to melt rocks was unleashed, surging towards Lu Yuan and Xiao Yi!
Without thinking twice, Lu Yuan quickly pulled Xiao Yi away to dodge.
They had barely steadied themselves when fireballs rained down upon them.
"This is never going to end!"
Lu Yuan and Xiao Yi each avoided each other.
However, although the eel's attack was of the same type as the fire lizard's, the speed was far too different. Even if Lu Yuan could predict the attack by observing its movements, he could only barely dodge it and had no time to counterattack.
Most importantly.
The eel hid in the safe zone of the lava, and Xiao Yi's skills couldn't get through it at all!
That's despicable!
Lu Yuan tried using the "Submission of All Beasts" technique, but as expected, it had no effect. Instead, it seemed to stimulate the eel, causing it to attack even more fiercely.
Suddenly.
A very bad premonition arose in Lu Yuan's heart.
really.
Immediately afterwards, the eel's tail, which had been hidden in the lava, was raised high and suddenly swept towards Lu Yuan!
The attack was extremely fast. Lu Yuan could react quickly enough, but he couldn't move his body at all!
Having taken a direct hit from the tail, Lu Yuan coughed up a mouthful of blood.
That's not all.
The tail was wrapped in scorching lava, as if it would burn him through. He could even smell the aroma of roasted meat emanating from his body.
"Eee!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yi, who was not far away, disregarded everything else and rushed to Lu Yuan's side to cast Holy Light Protection to heal him.
After treatment, Lu Yuan finally had the strength to get up from the ground, but his body still felt like it was falling apart.
"Hiss! I think I just saw Ox-Head and Horse-Face come to pick me up. Is this the attack power of an Earth Spirit-level demon beast?"
With just one strike, he almost sent him to the underworld.
"roar!!"
Seeing that Lu Yuan had actually been rescued, the eel roared and launched another fireball attack.
"Little Yi, chant the hymn of courage and activate the Divine Protection Array!"
Having been constantly on the defensive, Lu Yuan's temper was also provoked.
So what if it's a spirit-level demon beast?
This eel is clearly not very intelligent, and it has been attacking for so long that its spiritual energy must be being depleted very quickly. If we can deplete its spiritual energy first, we might be able to put up a fight!
Lu Yuan took out the pistol he had prepared before entering the secret realm and aimed at the eel to fire.
The bullet struck the eel, producing a crisp, metallic sound.
"Tsk!"
Lu Yuan frowned.
This is a weapon that he asked Uncle Fu to have specially made by craftsmen. Unlike ordinary firearms, this pistol and bullets are made of special minerals. When used, it only needs to be injected with a little spiritual power to unleash the attack power of a cannon!
Although he didn't expect to seriously injure the eel with this pistol, he didn't even expect that it wouldn't leave a single scratch!
"Little Yi, attract its attention!"
Lu Yuan was not discouraged. He asked Xiao Yi to help distract the eel and then continued shooting.
Since the pistol couldn't penetrate the eel's defenses, he aimed for its most vulnerable spot: the eyes.
If one shot doesn't work, then try a few more!
In short, he will never give up!
With the buff from the Song of Courage and the damage reduction from the Divine Protection Array, Lu Yuan no longer moved cautiously, dodging while maximizing damage as much as possible.
But what I didn't expect was...
Compared to the eel, it was his spiritual energy that ran out first.
"Whoosh!"
As he infused the bullet with the last bit of spiritual energy, Lu Yuan was panting heavily, feeling as if all his strength had been drained, as if he had been fighting for several nights in a row and his whole body had been exhausted.
However.
It was at this time that...
He suddenly felt a crisp cracking sound coming from his dantian.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light emanated from his body.
Lu Yuan was bathed in light, and a feeling of comfort swept over his entire body, as if all the meridians in his body had been opened.
"This is... a breakthrough?!"
After carefully sensing it, he discovered that he had actually broken through the bottleneck of the extraordinary level and reached the second level of the Profound Realm in one fell swoop!
That's not all.
Xiao Yi seemed to be influenced by him as well, and also broke through to the Xuanzhen level, with her level increasing one after another, rising three levels in one go!
Lu Yuan was overjoyed.
I never expected him to break through at this time. Since that's the case...
"Little Yi, catch!"
Lu Yuan immediately bought six high-grade crystal energy stones from the mall and threw them to Xiao Yi.
"I'll distract it, and you take advantage of its attack on me to absorb it quickly!"
The spiritual power contained in high-grade crystal energy stones is dozens of times that of mid-grade crystal energy stones, and the price is extremely high. These six stones alone cost Lu Yuan a full three thousand points of divine power, which is equivalent to three hundred million Blue Star coins!
Normally, he would never be willing to exchange so much at once, but the situation is urgent now, and he can't worry about that now.
According to his calculations, these six should be enough for Xiao Yi to advance to the ninth level of the Profound Truth Realm.
That will be the end for this eel!
After absorbing a high-grade spirit bead purchased from the store, Lu Yuan felt his spiritual power instantly recover by more than half. He immediately raised his pistol and fired at the eel again.
"Silly eel, look here!"
A shot hit its eye, and the eel roared in fury, attacking Lu Yuan wildly.
