Seeking Opportunities in Desperate Situations, the Truth Behind the Ruins
Lin Yu and Suna watched helplessly as the armored creature approached with heavy, oppressive steps. The air around them seemed frozen by its eerie aura, and every breath carried a bone-chilling chill. Lin Yu endured the excruciating pain radiating from every part of his body, his mind racing like a high-speed engine, frantically searching for a way out of their desperate situation. He knew full well that they were teetering on the edge of a cliff; a single misstep would lead to a plunge into an abyss of no return.
"Suna, this monster has self-healing abilities. A head-on confrontation won't work. We must find its weaknesses." Lin Yu gritted his teeth and spoke word by word. Although his voice was hoarse with pain, the determination revealed in his eyes was as unshakable as steel. Even though the situation was extremely serious, the flame of his will to survive still burned fiercely in his heart.
Suna nodded vigorously, her gaze fixed on the armored creature, as if she could see through it. After a moment, she said, "Have you noticed something peculiar about its mask? When we attacked it earlier, it reacted particularly strongly there. Perhaps the key to defeating it lies beneath the mask."
Lin Yu tried to recall the intense battle scene. Indeed, whenever an attack got close to the armored creature's mask, its movements became panicked, as if the mask was a vital part it was desperately protecting. "You're right, we need to find a way to attack its mask. Perhaps that's the key to breaking through." A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.
At this moment, the armored creature had already closed in on them. It raised its longsword high and, with an angry roar, swung it down fiercely. The sword whistled past, carrying with it a chilling murderous intent, as if to shred everything around it. Lin Yu quickly raised his spear and struggled to block it. With a loud clang, the sound of metal clashing echoed in the narrow passage, jarring his eardrums. Lin Yu felt a tremendous force traveling along the spear, numb his arm, and involuntarily took a few steps back.
At this critical moment, Suna quickly commanded the Gu insects to fly towards the armored creature's mask. Like a flash of colorful lightning, the Gu insects traced a brilliant trajectory through the dim passage, closing in on their target at breakneck speed. The armored creature seemed to sense the threat from the side and swiftly swung its other arm, attempting to dislodge the Gu insects. Lin Yu seized this opportunity and thrust his spear into the armored creature's arm. The spear pierced the armored creature's arm with precision, but its armor was so strong that the spear only grazed a few sparks, causing no substantial damage. However, the strike successfully slowed the armored creature's movements, buying Suna valuable time.
Just as the Gu worms were about to fly near the mask, the armored creature suddenly let out a deafening roar. Instantly, a surge of black energy erupted from its body like a surging tide. This black energy, carrying a sickening, rancid stench, quickly spread outward. The Gu worms were instantly enveloped by this powerful black energy, emitting a painful buzzing sound as they were sent flying. Suna looked at the injured Gu worms with distress, her heart aching. But she knew this was no time to grieve. They were on the brink of life and death, and they must focus all their attention on dealing with the crisis at hand.
"This monster has this trick. It seems we have to be more careful." There was a hint of worry in Suna's voice, but her eyes remained firm.
Lin Yu's brows knitted together, knowing full well that the battle they faced was far more difficult than he had imagined. "We absolutely cannot give up. Keep looking for opportunities. We'll definitely find a loophole," Lin Yu said through gritted teeth, his eyes revealing an unyielding fighting spirit.
The two continued to engage the armored creature in the narrow passage, their figures moving like ghosts through the dim mist. Lin Yu dodged the armored creature's furious attacks while carefully observing its movements. In the intense battle, he finally discovered that before each powerful attack, the armored creature would briefly charge its power. It would crouch slightly, its sword gleaming with an even brighter gleam of cold light, and the air around it would ripple slightly.
"Suna, I found that it will charge its energy before attacking. We can take advantage of this opportunity. When it charges its energy again, I will attract its attention, and you can take the opportunity to command the insect to attack its mask. This may be our only chance." Lin Yu said anxiously, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Suna nodded vigorously, indicating understanding. At that moment, the armored creature raised its sword high again, crouched slightly, and emanated a powerful and sinister aura as it began to gather strength. Lin Yu didn't hesitate, and immediately rushed forward like a flash of black lightning, his spear pointed directly at the armored creature's chest. The armored creature focused all its attention on Lin Yu, its murderous eyes fixed on him, ready to deliver a fatal blow once its power was fully accumulated.
Suna seized the opportunity to direct the Gu worms, once again flying towards the armored creature's mask. This time, the Gu worms seemed to sense the tension, carefully avoiding the possible presence of the black energy and rapidly approaching the mask with greater agility. Just as the armored creature had gathered its strength and was about to strike with its sword, the Gu worms successfully reached the mask and began frantically gnawing at its edges.
Sensing the threat to its mask, the armored creature immediately abandoned its attack on Lin Yu and quickly reached out to dislodge the poisonous insect. Lin Yu seized this golden opportunity and, with all his strength, thrust his spear into the armored creature's mask. With a resounding "bang," the spear pierced the mask firmly. A deep crack immediately appeared on the mask, spreading rapidly like a spider web.
