The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The monster's three eyes, like three balls of burning ghostly fire, stared coldly at everyone. The cruelty and greed in their eyes seemed to be tangible and striking, sending shivers down their spines. It slowly stood up, its massive body stirring up a gust of fishy air, and its hard scales rubbed against each other, making a teeth-aching crunching sound.

Xu Tiancai gripped the Star Demon-Breaking Sword tightly. Star power flowed through the sword, emitting a brilliant light that illuminated a small area around it. He lowered his voice and said to the crowd, "Everyone, be careful. This guy looks difficult to deal with."

Ah Gang held his battle axe across his body, his fighting spirit dancing on the blade like golden flames. He stood with his feet slightly apart, steadying himself. There was no fear in his eyes, only the fervor of battle. "Hmph, whatever monster it is, it can't stop us."

Lin concentrated her mind, and wind elements quietly gathered around her, forming faint streams of air. She stared intently at the monster, trying to find flaws in its movements, while preparing to cast wind magic at any time to deal with any emergency.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, releasing a wisp of icy magic. The temperature around her dropped instantly, and the moisture in the air condensed into tiny ice crystals. Her expression was solemn, knowing the enemy before her could not be underestimated and that she must give it her all.

The mysterious figure quickly formed hand seals with his hands, and the forces of darkness and light intertwined in his palms, forming a black and white energy ball. The energy ball slowly rotated, emitting a mysterious aura, and he was ready to deal a fatal blow to the monster at the critical moment.

The man in white placed the flute to his lips and gently played a low melody. The sound of the flute echoed in the cave, transforming into an invisible force, strengthening the fighting spirit of the people and probing for the monster's weaknesses.

The monster let out a deep roar, the sound waves surging like a physical force. Everyone felt a sharp pain in their eardrums, as if a heavy hammer were pounding against their ears. Then, it suddenly opened its bloody maw, and a strong, rancid stench filled their faces. From its mouth, a stream of black slime shot toward them like a sharp arrow, corroding the ground in its path, leaving behind deep grooves and emitting acrid black smoke.

Xu Tiancai was the first to strike, unleashing his "Star Shield." The power of the stars formed a solid shield of light in front of the group. Black slime collided with the shield, producing a sizzling, corrosive sound. Tiny black spots appeared on the surface, but the shield still managed to block the attack.

Ah Gang saw the perfect moment and shouted, "Sky-Splitting Slash!" He leaped high, his battle axe, brimming with powerful fighting spirit, transforming into a golden half-moon-shaped slash, which slashed towards the monster's head. The slash sliced ​​through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound and carrying an unstoppable momentum.

The monster didn't flinch, its hard forehead meeting Agang's attack head-on. The moment the axe connected with the monster's forehead, the clang of metal resounded through the cave, sparks flew everywhere. Agang felt a massive recoil, sending him flying backwards and slamming heavily to the ground.

Seeing Gang injured, Lin quickly cast the wind elemental magic "Wind Blade Tornado." Countless tiny wind blades converged, forming a massive tornado. The tornado swept toward the monster, its blades as sharp as knives, continuously slicing at the monster's scales. Although the monster's scales were incredibly tough, the constant onslaught of the wind blades still left some shallow scratches.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, summoning massive ice spikes. These spikes were covered in intricate ice runes that shimmered with a faint blue light, emitting a biting chill. The ice spikes rained down upon the monster, some successfully piercing the scratches on its body. The cold magic spread rapidly, coating some of the monster's scales with frost, slowing its movements slightly.

The mysterious figure thrust his hands together, and a ball of energy, a fusion of dark and light forces, flew toward the monster. As it neared the monster, the ball suddenly split into countless smaller spheres of light. These spheres swirled around the monster, continuously releasing energy shockwaves. Each shock caused the monster's body to tremble slightly, and black slime seeped from the cracks between its scales, dripping onto the ground and corroding small pits.

The man in white played his flute faster and faster, the sound transforming into a swarm of radiant light beasts. They charged the monster, engaging it in close combat. The Kirin light beast seared its scales with flames, the Phoenix light beast attacked its eyes with multicolored flames, and the Lion light beast rammed its body with powerful force. The attacks threw the monster into a moment of disarray.

However, the monster quickly recovered from the chaos. It roared again, its eyes gleaming with even greater ferocity. It lashed its tail with all its might, its massive tail sweeping towards the crowd like a steel whip. Wherever its tail passed, the air crackled with a throbbing, its force astonishing.

Everyone dodged quickly. Xu Tiancai unleashed his "Star Phantom Step," flashing like a meteor, dodging the monster's tail attack. Lin summoned a wind barrier, barely blocking the aftermath of the tail's sweep, but was also knocked back a few steps. The Ice Princess used her icy magic to form a shield around her, but the impact of the monster's tail cracked the shield.

Ah Gang climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and rushed towards the monster again. He unleashed "Raging Charge," his entire body ablaze with fighting spirit, and like a flaming cannonball, he charged towards the monster. Seeing this, the monster opened its mouth wide and bit Ah Gang.

At this critical moment, Xu Tiancai unleashed his "Star Savior Sword," transforming a beam of star power into a lightsaber that shot towards the monster's maw. The lightsaber pierced the monster's upper jaw, causing it to pause in pain. Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Tiancai rammed into the monster's side, knocking it sideways.

"We have to find a way to attack its eyes, that might be its weakness!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their attacks. Lin cast the wind elemental magic "Precision Wind Strike," manipulating the wind element to form a sharp cone of wind, which she shot towards the large eye in the center of the monster. The cone of wind pierced the air like an arrow, flying unerringly towards its target.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, converging her icy magic into a massive ice arrow. The runes on the ice arrow shone with dazzling light, and the cold magic nearly froze the surrounding air. She shot the ice arrow towards the monster's left eye. As the ice arrow flew, the surrounding water vapor quickly condensed into ice, forming an icy tunnel.

The mysterious figure quickly formed hand seals with his hands, and the forces of darkness and light merged into a powerful beam of energy in his hands. The beam contained the power of mysterious laws. He shot the beam towards the monster's right eye. Wherever the beam reached, darkness and light intertwined, emitting an awe-inspiring power.

The man in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into an enormous dragon of light. The dragon radiated a rainbow of colors, its scales gleaming with a mysterious sheen. The dragon opened its massive mouth and blasted a brilliant beam of light towards the monster's eyes. Like a giant lightsaber, it pierced the monster's eyes.

The monster sensed danger and tried to protect its eyes with its claws. However, the attack was too fast, and Lin's wind cone hit the large eye in the middle first. The moment the wind cone pierced the eye, the monster let out a shrill scream, and blood immediately flowed from that eye.

Immediately afterwards, the Ice Princess's ice arrow hit the monster's left eye. The cold magic quickly spread, and the entire left eye was covered with frost, and then shattered. The monster's screams became even more heartbreaking.

The energy beam of the mysterious figure and the light dragon attack of the man in white also arrived at the same time. The monster's right eye was severely damaged by the impact of the light. Cracks appeared on the eyeball, and black mucus oozed out of the cracks.

After suffering a severe eye injury, the monster went into a frenzy, waving its claws and tail wildly as it rampaged through the cave, smashing the surrounding rocks and causing the cave to shake violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Everyone, step back first and don't get hurt by it!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Everyone retreated, dodging the monster's frenzied attack. While dodging, Xu Tiancai discovered that the monster was furious, and strange energy fluctuations appeared around its injured eye. These fluctuations were similar to some of the energy they had encountered in the ruins before, and seemed to have some connection.

"Everyone, pay attention. There might be something wrong with the energy fluctuations around the monster's eyes!" Xu Tiancai warned loudly.

As everyone dodged, they observed the energy fluctuations around the monster's eyes. Lin cast the wind elemental magic "Wind Insight," allowing the wind element to perceive the mysteries of these energy fluctuations. She discovered that these energy fluctuations seemed to resonate somewhere deep within the cave, as if connected by an invisible thread.

Ah Gang seized the opportunity and launched an attack at the energy fluctuations around the monster's eyes. He concentrated his fighting spirit on his battle axe and slashed at the fluctuations with all his might. The axe struck the fluctuations, disrupting the energy waves. The monster's body trembled violently, and the momentum of the attack weakened slightly.

Seeing this, the Ice Princess also released her icy magic towards the energy fluctuations. When the icy magic came into contact with the waves, a layer of frost appeared on them. The frost spread along the waves, affecting the energy fluctuations in other parts of the monster as well. The monster's movements became even slower, as if restrained by an invisible force.

The mysterious figure and the man in white also redirected their attacks, launching themselves at the energy fluctuations. The mysterious figure's dark and light forces formed threads of energy that entangled the fluctuations, attempting to sever their connection. The white-clad man's light beasts attacked the fluctuations with their sharp claws and beaks, attempting to destabilize them.

Under the continuous attacks of the crowd, the energy fluctuations around the monster's eyes became increasingly chaotic. As the last attack landed on the fluctuations, the energy fluctuations suddenly burst into a strong light, which contained an ancient and mysterious power.

The monster screamed again under the impact of the light. Its massive body began to tremble violently, scales falling off one after another, and black slime oozing from all parts of its body. Its strength was rapidly weakening, and its once frantic attacks became powerless.

"Keep attacking, don't let it recover!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

They intensified their attacks, launching a final assault on the monster's body. Star power, fighting spirit, wind elementalism, ice magic, energy balls, and light beasts all attacked the monster. In a burst of dazzling light and energy, the monster finally collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Everyone stood there exhausted, each with injuries to varying degrees. But they had no time to rest, for they knew the mysterious power evoked by the energy fluctuations around the monster's eyes must be related to the secrets of the ruins.

They walked towards the source of the energy fluctuations and found a hidden stone door deep in the cave. The stone door was engraved with mysterious patterns and symbols similar to those seen in the ruins before. These patterns and symbols emitted a faint light, as if telling an ancient story.

"The clue we are looking for may be behind this stone gate." Xu Tiancai said.

Everyone stepped forward and began to study the patterns and symbols on the stone gate. Lin carefully observed the wind element symbols on the stone gate and found that the arrangement of these symbols was different from the wind element magic circles they had encountered before, and seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Agang analyzed the patterns on the stone gate from the perspective of strength. He found that some patterns were related to the conduction and transformation of strength, and might be one of the keys to opening the stone gate.

The Ice Princess touched the stone gate with her wand, feeling the fluctuations of the ice magic on the stone gate. She discovered that the stone gate had a special reaction to the ice magic. Certain ice runes flickered more violently at the touch of the wand, as if guiding them to unlock the secret of the stone gate.

The mysterious figure and the man in white attempted to interpret the symbols on the stone gate from the perspective of energy and music. The mysterious figure discovered that the energy fluctuations of the symbols had a unique rhythm, similar to the rhythm they had previously used to break the seal in the ruins. The man in white played a flute, and when the flute sound resonated with the energy fluctuations of the symbols on the stone gate, a faint light appeared on the stone gate.
