Chapter 93
From the very beginning of the fight between the two sides, the metallic beast had attacked Jiang Yunu's right hand holding the branch, but she didn't think much about it at the time. She thought it was just a basic tactic, just like when two humans fight, if there is a chance to severely damage the opponent's dominant hand and injure the opponent's "combat strength", then the opponent's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced in an instant.
This is a completely reasonable way of fighting.
In the eyes of this "mechanical elemental beast" that seemed to have a brain, there was no doubt that Jiang Yunu's right hand, which had pulled out the branch to resist its attack from the very beginning, was obviously Jiang Yunu's "combat strength".
So she was not surprised at all that the opponent always wanted to attack her right arm.
But after several head-on confrontations, Jiang Yunu gradually realized that the opponent seemed to just want to knock her branch away and had no intention of directly crippling her right arm.
Whether the opponent intends to send the weapon flying or to cripple an entire arm, these subtle differences can be sensed during combat. The direction of each attack, the potential energy contained in the attack, and the final impact point revealed by the changing patterns... With enough information, one can help judge the opponent's core attack intentions.
Jiang Yunu figured out the other party's intention, but was confused by this intention that was gradually becoming clear before his eyes.
What's going on? Is it because this guy has short and thick arms, and his claws on the ground are not as flexible as human's five fingers, so he can't stand humans holding tools upright for assistance?
The metallic beast fought tirelessly, and its next attack was still aimed at Jiang Yunu's right arm. Its core target was still the branch in her hand. Its sharp horns flashed with cold light like a pair of Emei thorns growing on its head, and it brazenly used this pair of thorns to stab Jiang Yunu's wrist.
Jiang Yunu's wrist was the first to feel the draft of air kicked up by the swift thrust. It was a sharp gust of wind, directed at her right wrist. She nimbly dodged, shifting her center of gravity, twisting her waist, and using her left shoulder to meet the gust. Seeing this, the metal-armored beast immediately changed its attack trajectory, and the gust of wind brushed past Jiang Yunu's shoulder.
The opponent's huge body leaped around and circled behind her side, creating a brief shadow in her side vision, making her feel her peripheral vision dim. Then, the sharp feeling of her right hand being targeted was transmitted back to her brain. The metallic beast locked the attack direction again, aiming at Jiang Yunu's retreating right wrist - and the branch she was holding in her hand.
"You are so persistent." Jiang Yunu bent his knees slightly and slid out of the attack range of the metal monster.
Without even turning around, she asked, "What's it about this little branch of mine that's irritating you? Or is it that you can't stand people fighting you with weapons?"
Does it have to be fair for everyone to fight with bare hands?
A sharp feeling was chasing after her, and a strong wind swept over Jiang Yunu's senses from behind. She quickly took two steps forward, jumped up, twisted nearly 90 degrees in the air, and then kicked her feet on the nearby tree trunk, and flew across the metal monster that was rushing from behind.
At the same time, the branch in her hand was still wrapped in green energy, but at this moment, it was no longer the previous "green light stick" with blunt ends. One end of it had been condensed into a spike by the energy, and it had become more like a spear.
Jiang Yunu flew across the metal beast, and she thrust the spear downwards with all her might! She gripped the long pole tightly with both hands, listening to the spear tip, condensed from her supernatural power, scrape against the elemental beast's hard armor, creating a series of teeth-grinding metallic clashes.
"Crack—"
The sound of metal colliding with each other and sharp objects scratching against metal is really tooth-grinding. People who are extremely sensitive to this kind of sound may even feel their hair stand on end.
Jiang Yunu also felt that the sound was unpleasant, but what she felt even worse was that she was completely certain that no matter how she stabbed, pierced, chopped or cut, she could not break the defensive armor of this "mechanical elemental beast".
Not only was the opponent's combat power not on the same level as other metal beasts, but its defense was also suspected to be maxed out. At least with Jiang Yunu's current attack method, she had no way of breaking through the armor.
If the armor cannot be penetrated and the location of the elemental crystal core cannot be found, this battle will become a long and meaningless war of attrition.
Jiang Yunu was sure that she was patient, but she was not sure that she had more endurance than the guy in front of her who was armed like a steel turtle can.
Finding the opportunity to catch his breath, Jiang Yunu swung his arm, and the green energy that had been tightly wrapped around the branch dissipated around the branch like a dandelion that was blown by a breath of air, revealing the original appearance of the branch inside.
Jiang Yunu decided to take a small risk.
Since the other party has been trying to guide her to abandon the use of media and seems to particularly hope that she will attack directly with her superpowers, why not she really try to attack with the superpower light ball once and see what will happen?
Just do it.
Jiang Yunu was ready to face any outcome. She put the branch back into her waist, condensed a green ball of light in her left hand, and then raised her hand. The seemingly light ball of light suddenly became extremely powerful and was thrown by her towards the face of the "Mechanical Elemental Beast".
If you hit someone, you have to hit them in the face!
The green ball of supernatural light collided head-on with the metallic monster. Jiang Yunu even felt that at a certain moment, the other party took the initiative to stop its movements, no longer moving quickly, and took the initiative to accept her attack.
Jiang Yunu soon realized that the other party did have the ability to withstand such a supernatural attack head-on.
——Because her attack was absorbed by the opponent.
The green ball of supernatural light was like a ball of water thrown into the desert. It hit the face of the "Mechanical Elemental Beast" head-on, but was quickly absorbed by the opponent. The energy light was directly swallowed up into the opponent's body, leaving only a green halo on the contact surface between the elemental power and the opponent's body surface.
This absorbed supernatural power caused the visor of the "Mechanical Elemental Beast" to glow green.
It was the first time that Jiang Yunu saw an elemental beast that could absorb superpowers. She searched her mind for knowledge about elemental beasts with superpowers, but found that at least as far as her knowledge was concerned, she had not learned about this type of beast that could absorb attacking superpowers.
No wonder the other party has been guiding her to attack with pure elemental powers!
The pure elemental power attack not only left the opponent's armor intact, but was also directly absorbed into the opponent's body.
Jiang Yunu stared at the opponent's visor, which was still green, and she guessed that the opponent must have another trick up his sleeve.
The fact that the other party can absorb superpowers means that the other party must have other uses for the absorbed superpowers.
Sure enough, Jiang Yunu soon saw the green light under the opponent's armor becoming stronger and stronger, and the strong light almost covered the opponent's face. Then a ball of green light condensed from the opponent's face and rushed back towards her!
--oh!
Jiang Yunu quickly dodged the reverse of her earth element ability and quickly realized why the other party had been guiding her to perform pure elemental ability attacks.
This is a metallic beast that can absorb elemental attacks and then reflect them back!
But does this special skill come from the opponent's own talent, or from the armor covering his entire body?
Jiang Yunu's intuition told her that it was more likely to come from that set of armor.
This is a "mechanical elemental beast" that was specially created to be able to reflect supernatural powers.
"Who made you like this?" she asked softly.
Jiang Yunu dodged the attack from her own supernatural power. She looked at the "mechanical elemental beast" whose mask had returned to normal and no longer flashed green light.
The other party still did not answer, trying to lure her into the next pure supernatural attack.
Jiang Yunu originally thought that the other party's intelligence surpassed that of ordinary mechanical elemental beasts, and seemed to be an advanced metal beast equipped with "advanced intelligent programs". However, at this moment, when she discovered that many of the other party's previous actions were to induce her to use pure supernatural powers to attack, her opinion changed - she still believed that the other party did have intelligence and thinking ability.
However, all of the opponent's thinking ability and wisdom are only used to achieve the goal of "allowing people to invoke pure supernatural power attacks."
It strictly follows certain rules, allowing people to use pure elemental powers as much as possible, and then uses the reflected powers to attack people.
It might be supposed to be smart, but because of its single-minded focus, it can become less so.
Jiang Yunu just made a small discovery. When she attacked with the earth elemental power, in a very brief moment, she saw the reflected elemental power first light up from behind the white eye pieces at the opponent's eyes, and then was squeezed out of the body of the metal monster.
This suddenly gave her an idea.
The white eye piece lights up first. Is it because that part is weaker, or is it the core of the other party's reverse release of supernatural power, or is it just a pure coincidence?
Jiang Yunu will know if he tries again.
She no longer hesitated, circling the metal beast twice before successfully circling its side. Jiang Yunu increased her speed to as high as possible, seizing the perfect moment to unleash her supernatural power on the beast's side. Thanks to Lu Xixi for helping her control her supernatural power release these past few days! She controlled her energy release to just the right level, allowing her to dodge even the "mechanical elemental beast"'s reflections!
The supernatural light ball containing the power of the earth element hit the side of the metal monster and was once again absorbed by the opponent's armor.
Jiang Yunu moved quickly. She flashed in front of the other person and focused her attention on his eyes.
——The white eyepieces lit up green.
This time, the place where the superpowers are absorbed is obviously not on the face, but the eyes of the "Mechanical Elemental Beast" still lit up!
The other party seemed to be suddenly dancing a tango with Jiang Yunu, and refused to face Jiang Yunu head-on, only letting Jiang Yunu take a "glimpse" of its eyes flashing green light. Then it jumped sideways on the spot, and aimed the side that absorbed the energy light ball at Jiang Yunu - the reflected earth element energy flew out from its side and flew towards Jiang Yunu!
Jiang Yunu dodged like a dodgeball.
She once again took advantage of the opportunity and found a chance to force herself to look at the face of the metal monster. With a quick glance, she found that the green light flashing in the other's white eyes had disappeared.
The eyes of the "Mechanical Elemental Beast" stopped flashing and returned to silver-white.
Jiang Yunu's eyes lit up.
Ahaha!
Jiang Yunu, with eyes shining, thought: The inspiration to break the deadlock that came to her while fighting was finally brought out by her!
