Seeing this, the brothers on the side quickly formed seals with their hands and chanted something. In an instant, the surrounding water vapor quickly condensed and formed several water dragons, which wrapped around the monster with bared fangs and claws.
The monster was temporarily trapped by the water dragon. It roared angrily and struggled continuously, and its strong limbs trampled large pits in the ground.
The other disciples took the opportunity to use their unique skills, and spells such as fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, etc. flew towards the monster.
However, these attacks only caused sparks and smoke when hitting the monster's hard skin, and did not cause any substantial damage to it.
Just when everyone was feeling overwhelmed, Yun Ao suddenly remembered the records of this type of monster in ancient books. It seemed that there was a relatively thin scale on its abdomen.
He shouted, "Attack its belly!" As he spoke, he raised his body, using the surrounding rock cliffs to jump and move, trying to get behind the monster.
The monster also noticed his intention, and swung its long tail, lashing towards Yun Ao like a steel whip. Yun Ao rolled in the air and narrowly avoided it, but was blown off course by the strong wind brought by the long tail.
The senior brothers understood what he meant and controlled the water dragon to distract the monster's attention. The other disciples also attacked desperately to create opportunities for Yun Ao.
Yun Ao took a deep breath, raised his sword and rushed towards the monster again. Under the cover of everyone, he seized the opportunity, dived suddenly, gathered all his spiritual power at the tip of the sword, and stabbed it hard at the scale on the monster's abdomen.
With a "puff" sound, the tip of the sword pierced into the gap between the scales. The monster let out a painful howl, twisted its body wildly, and threw Yun Ao out.
But this stab also injured the monster, and its movements became a little slower. Seeing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of everyone, and they attacked even more desperately. A life-and-death battle was still going on fiercely.
Yun Ao endured the pain of falling and quickly got up from the ground, his eyes fixed on the monster that was becoming more and more violent due to its injury.
At this moment, the demon beast was swinging its body wildly, smashing the surrounding boulders one after another. Amidst the flying debris, several disciples were unable to dodge and were hit hard. They immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground, their life or death unknown.
Senior Brother Yun Ao and the others were pale, but their eyes were determined. She ignored the consumption of her own spiritual power and forcibly cast a high-level water-based sealing spell.
A huge water curtain appeared out of thin air and turned into countless tough water chains, trying to wrap around the monster's limbs and restrict its movements.
The monster struggled hard to break free, and the water chain broke with a crisp sound, but this short restraint also gave everyone a chance to breathe.
Yun Ao took the opportunity to adjust his breathing. He looked around and saw his fellow disciples lying injured. His eyes swept towards the walls of the cave and he found some ancient runes looming, which seemed to be emitting mysterious power.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered the few words about this cave that he had seen in his master's library. These runes might be the remnants of the sealing power left by the ancient strongmen. If they could be guided, perhaps they could suppress this demon beast.
He didn't have time to think about it and shouted to his senior brother: "Senior brother, cover me!" Then he rushed towards the rune like lightning.
The demon beast sensed his intention and, ignoring the attacks of the other disciples, turned and pounced towards Yun Ao.
Upon seeing this, the brothers immediately ordered the other disciples to concentrate their firepower on attacking the monster's head, trying to slow it down.
Yun Ao came to the rune, quickly formed seals with his hands, and injected his spiritual power into it.
As spiritual energy was infused into it, the runes gradually lit up and began to hum. However, the monster was already close at hand. It opened its bloody maw and spewed out a black energy wave. Yun Ao was unable to dodge and was hit head-on by the energy wave. His body flew out like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily into the cave wall, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
But at this moment, the rune was activated, and a dazzling light shot up into the sky, turning into a huge light net, covering the monster.
The Warcraft seemed to be very afraid of the light. It struggled desperately and let out a deafening roar. Under the cover of the light net, the Warcraft's movements gradually slowed down and its strength seemed to be slowly suppressed.
Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed and increased their attack strength. The spells in Lin Fengyu's hands kept changing, and the water dragon roared again and rushed towards the monster, intertwining with the spells of other disciples and hitting the monster hard.
Under the concerted attack of everyone, the monster had more and more wounds on its body, black blood flowed all over the ground, and its struggle became weaker and weaker.
Finally, with an unwilling roar, the huge body of the monster fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed. Some collapsed to the ground, while others cried with joy.
Yun Ao struggled to get up, looking at the mess on the ground and the injured fellow disciples, feeling mixed emotions. Although this thrilling battle had come to an end for the time being, they were still in this mysterious and dangerous cave, and no one knew what they would encounter next.
Yun Ao looked at his severely wounded and dying brothers, his heart filled with pity and anxiety. He took a deep breath, his voice trembling but firm as he spoke, "Brothers, this cave is full of dangers. We have already lost many of our fellow disciples. Continuing deeper would be disastrous. It would be better for us to leave first and find a way to recover. We can return to explore later." The brothers nodded in agreement, supporting each other, their eyes filled with fatigue and approval as they began to trudge towards the cave entrance.
However, Yun Ao's two younger sisters were filled with discontent. Younger sister Lin Wan'er raised her eyebrows, stamped her feet, and said angrily, "We've finally come this far. How can we give up so easily? The treasure might be just up ahead. If we go back now, all our efforts will be wasted!"
Another junior sister, Zhao Linger, also had tears in her eyes and bit her lips tightly: "I won't go back. If you are afraid, brothers, just go first!" For a moment, the atmosphere was deadlocked, and the brothers who were leaving stopped in their tracks, looking hesitant.
Lin Fengyu and Su Yao looked at each other and sighed slightly.
Yun Ao stepped forward and said solemnly, "Wan'er, Ling'er, don't be willful. Our brothers are seriously injured now, and we can't take care of ourselves. If we force ourselves to stay, our entire army will be wiped out. As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood."
The eldest brother also comforted them softly, and after much persuasion, the two younger sisters pouted reluctantly and agreed to leave.
Everyone walked back cautiously, continuing to go deeper into the unknown darkness. No one could guarantee whether they could get out alive.
