The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The man in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into a swarm of radiant beasts. These beasts varied in form: a kirin ablaze with flames, a soaring dragon of light with wings spread, and a lightning-fast tiger of light. The beasts charged at the sandworms. The kirin's flames seared the worms' shells, seeking a weak spot in their defenses. The dragon of light tore at the worms with its claws, while the tiger of light darted around them at breakneck speed, disrupting their attack rhythm.

However, the sandworms didn't seem to be affected at all, twisting their massive bodies and charging towards the crowd again. One of the sandworms suddenly leaped high from the sand and crashed down towards the crowd like a small mountain, the powerful wind pressure making it almost impossible for them to stand steadily.

Xu Tiancai gripped the Starry Demon-Breaking Sword tightly, his gaze determined. He saw the sandworm's descent and leaped upward. The Starry Demon-Breaking Sword radiated brilliant star power, transforming into a dazzling ray of sword light as it slashed towards the sandworm's abdomen. This single strike embodied all of Xu Tiancai's strength. With a resounding bang, a deep gash was carved into the sandworm's abdomen. Green mucus oozed from the wound, dripping onto the sand with a sizzling sound, corroding small pits.

"Attack their abdomen! That's their weak point!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Upon hearing this, Ah Gang intensified his fighting spirit to its fullest, his axe ablaze with golden flames. He charged at a sandworm, using the momentum of his run to leap high and slash his axe into its abdomen. The blow was so powerful that a massive gash was carved through the sandworm's abdomen, exposing its internal organs. The sandworm writhed in agony, tumbling across the sand, sending up a cloud of dust.

Lin cast a forbidden spell of wind magic, gathering all the surrounding air and compressing it into countless sharp wind blades. These wind blades rained down on the sandworm's abdomen, slicing at its wounds, widening them further and intensifying its struggles.

The Ice Princess waved her wand and chanted an ice spell. Instantly, countless massive cones of ice descended from the sky, piercing the sandworm's wound. The cones pierced the sandworm's abdomen, and the cold magic spread rapidly. The sandworm's movements became sluggish, and a layer of frost began to form on its surface.

The mysterious figure quickly formed seals with his hands, and the forces of darkness and light swirled and merged in his palms, forming huge energy balls. He threw these energy balls at the wound in the sandworm's abdomen, and the balls exploded at the wound, creating large craters. The sandworm's body was blasted to pieces, and green slime and broken flesh splattered everywhere.

The man in white accelerated his flute playing, and the sound transformed into ever-larger light beasts. They launched an even more ferocious attack on the wound in the sandworm's abdomen. The Qilin burned deep into the wound with its flames, the Light Dragon used its claws to tear the wound even wider, and the Light Tiger rushed into the wound, destroying the sandworm's internal organs.

Under the concerted attack of everyone, the sandworms suffered severe abdominal injuries, their attacks gradually lost strength, and their movements became increasingly slow. However, these sandworms were extremely tenacious, and even though they were seriously injured, they still struggled frantically, trying to launch a final counterattack.

A sandworm suddenly opened its massive mouthparts and unleashed a stream of green venom at Lin. The venom shot towards her like a fountain, swift and rapid. Lin had no time to dodge. Just as the venom was about to strike her, the Ice Princess swung her wand and summoned a massive ice shield in front of her. The venom sprayed onto the shield, rapidly corroding it and emitting a pungent odor.

"Thank you!" Lin glanced at the Ice Princess gratefully, then cast a wind elemental spell, creating a powerful airflow that blew the remaining venom back toward the sandworm. The venom was blown back by the wind and landed on the sandworm's own wound. The sandworm roared in pain, and the corrosion on the wound became even worse.

Seeing this, the other sandworms launched their final assault. They crushed the group with their massive bodies, attempting to bury them beneath the sand. Xu Tiancai wielded the Star Demon-Breaking Sword, creating a series of sword flowers before him. Star power formed a light barrier, blocking the sandworms' charge. Ah Gang, the Ice Princess, the mysterious figure, and the man in white each deployed their strongest defensive measures to fend off the sandworms' attack.

In the fierce confrontation, the group gradually gained the upper hand. As the last sandworm fell completely under the group's attack, the battle against the sandworm finally ended. Everyone was exhausted, but there was no time to rest, because they knew that there was a more important mission waiting for them.

The group continued forward, following the rune's direction. The desert environment grew increasingly harsh. The sun hung high in the sky, scorching the earth mercilessly, making the air seem like it was on fire. Every step demanded immense energy, leaving everyone's lips parched and their throats parched, feeling as if they were smoking.

"We need to find a place to rest and replenish our water," Lin said, her voice hoarse.

The group began searching for a place to rest, and not far away, they discovered an oasis. The oasis was shaded by verdant trees and contained a crystal-clear lake surrounded by a variety of exotic flowers and plants. Seeing the oasis, the group's eyes lit up with surprise, and they hurried towards it.

When they reached the lake, they eagerly bent down to drink. The cool water moistened their parched throats, making them feel as if they had regained vitality. After drinking the water, they sat down in the shade of the trees by the lake to rest and recover their strength.

During their break, Xu Tiancai noticed something unusual about the oasis. Some of the rocks by the lake were engraved with strange symbols, similar to the runes they'd seen in the pyramid ruins. Furthermore, while the flowers and plants in the oasis looked ordinary, a closer look revealed a pattern in their growth, all oriented toward the center of the oasis.

"There might be something wrong with this oasis, everyone be careful." Xu Tiancai said vigilantly.

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and began to carefully observe the oasis. They walked towards the center of the oasis, following the direction of the flowers and plants. There, they found a hidden entrance underground. The entrance was covered by some vines and weeds, and it was difficult to find without careful observation.

"There may be new clues here. Let's go down and take a look." Xu Tiancai said.

Everyone cautiously entered the underground entrance, which led to a narrow passage. The walls of the passage were inlaid with glowing crystals, which emitted a soft light, illuminating the passage. A damp air filled the air, and the ground was slippery, so everyone walked cautiously, fearing they would slip.

After walking for a while, the passageway widened and they arrived at a vast underground cavern. The ceiling was covered with stalactites in various shapes: some resembled swords, some flowers, and some monsters. On the cave floor, small puddles reflected the stalactites, creating a series of wondrous scenes.

In the center of the cave, a massive stone platform rested upon an ancient compass. The compass's face was crafted from a mysterious metal, inscribed with intricate runes and constellation patterns. The compass needle rotated constantly, seemingly pointing in a certain direction.

"This compass may be related to the place we are looking for." said the Ice Princess.

The group approached the stone platform. As they neared the compass, a low humming sound suddenly erupted from the cave. The surrounding air began to fluctuate violently, and water droplets fell from the stalactites, hitting the ground and splashing water.

Suddenly, a group of bat-like monsters emerged from every corner of the cave. These bat monsters were pitch black, with eyes flashing a strange red light. Their wings were covered with sharp bone spurs, and they had sharp fangs in their mouths, and they made shrill cries.

Bat monsters pounced on the crowd, their speed as swift as streaks of black lightning. One of the bat monsters rushed towards Xu Tiancai first, its maw wide open, biting him. Xu Tiancai wielded the Star Devil-Breaking Sword, the star power within transforming into a stream of sword energy, which shot towards the bat monster. The sword energy struck the bat monster, slicing it in half, but more bat monsters surged in from all directions.

Agang swung his battle axe, slashing at the advancing bat monsters. The axe shattered the bats, slicing one into pieces but leaving several deep scratches on the axe. Lin cast wind magic, creating powerful wind tornadoes. These tornadoes ripped through the swarm of bats, engulfing some and pulverizing them. However, the bats were too numerous for the wind tornadoes to completely stop their attack.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, summoning a flock of ice birds. The birds attacked the bat monsters with their sharp beaks and claws. At the same time, she cast an ice shield around them to prevent the bat monsters from breaking through. However, the bat monsters' attacks were too fierce, and cracks appeared on the ice shield.

The mysterious figure quickly formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light merged into balls of energy. He threw the balls at the swarm of bat monsters, and they exploded among them, killing many of them. However, the bat monsters seemed unfazed by death, and continued to charge at the crowd frantically.

The man in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into a swarm of radiant light beasts. They charged at the bat monsters, engaging them with their own strength. Qilin-like light beasts burned the bat monsters with flames, attempting to disperse them; light dragons tore at the bat monsters' bodies with their claws; and light tigers weaved between the bat monsters, attempting to disrupt their attack rhythm.

During the battle with the bat monster, Xu Tiancai discovered that when the bat monster was flying, there was a tiny glowing spot on its abdomen. Whenever it attacked or changed its flight direction, this glowing spot would flash.

"Attack the glowing spots on their abdomens!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

After hearing Xu Tiancai's words, everyone immediately changed their attack strategy. Lin unleashed her most powerful wind magic technique, compressing the surrounding air into small air bombs. She flung them toward the glowing spot on the bat monster's abdomen. The air bombs exploded at the glowing spot, instantly blowing the bat monster's abdomen apart. The bat fell from the air, struggling for a few moments before dying.

Agang focused his fighting spirit on his battle axe and slashed hard at the glowing spot on the bat monster's abdomen. The axe struck the glowing spot, splitting the bat monster's body in two, and green blood splattered all over Agang. The Ice Princess waved her wand, summoning a massive ice spike. The ice spike stabbed at the glowing spot on the bat monster's abdomen, accurately hitting the target and destroying it. The bat monster lost its balance and fell to the ground.

The mysterious figure formed seals with his hands, and the forces of darkness and light swirled and merged rapidly in his palms. He harnessed these two powers to their full potential, transforming them into chains of energy that shimmered with a strange light. He flung the chains toward the glowing point on the bat monster's abdomen. The chains wrapped around it, and with a strong pull, they tore the glow apart. A large hole appeared in the bat monster's abdomen, and it screamed in pain before falling to the ground, motionless.

The white-clad figure played his flute faster and faster, the sound transforming into a swarm of gigantic light beasts. They charged towards the glowing point on the bat monster's abdomen, using their own strength to combat it. The Qilin's flames burned the glowing point, the Light Dragon's claws tore at it, and the Light Tiger's speed allowed it to dart around the glowing point with ease, continuously attacking the surrounding defenses.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the glowing spots on the bat monster's abdomen were destroyed. The bat monster's attacks gradually weakened, and their numbers continued to decrease. After a fierce battle, the bat monsters were finally wiped out.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the compass in the center of the stone platform. Xu Tiancai reached out and touched the compass. The moment his hand touched the compass, the runes and constellation patterns on the compass suddenly lit up, and the light spread along his arm, enveloping him.
