The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The waterfall cascades down like the Milky Way, its water splashing like shattered jade. Its deafening roar, like the earth's fury, echoes through the valley, inspiring awe. The pool, a deep, eerie blue, resembles a colossal gem, yet its depths conceal endless mysteries and untold secrets.

"The Heart of the Water Element should be nearby. Everyone, be careful." Xu Tiancai glanced around sharply, his star power flickering faintly on his body, shielding him from the splashing water vapor from the waterfall. He could sense the surrounding water elemental activity, as if conveying some message to them.

Agang gripped his battle axe tightly, his eternal fighting spirit surging through him, emitting a faint golden glow. "There seems to be a spatial fluctuation behind this waterfall. Could there be a passage?" Agang narrowed his eyes, trying to see through the curtain-like waterfall.

Lin frowned slightly as the wind element swirled around her. She felt the interweaving of the water and wind elements. "The water element here is too strong, and it's somewhat interfering with my perception, but I also feel there's something fishy behind the waterfall," Lin said, manipulating the wind element to form a stable airflow circle around them, protecting them from the powerful impact of the waterfall.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, and several ice elves danced around her, emitting a cool blue light. "Whatever happens, we need to get closer," she said, summoning a gigantic ice bird. The bird spread its wings and soared toward the waterfall, attempting to explore what lay beyond.

The mysterious figure and the man in white stood in the center of the group, constantly monitoring the shifting energies around them. The mysterious figure clenched his fists, the forces of darkness and light looming in his palms, ready to respond to any emergency. The man in white placed his flute to his lips and gently played a soothing melody. The notes lingered in the air, resonating strangely with the surroundings.

The Ice Bird flew across the waterfall and quickly returned, circling above the Ice Princess's head, chirping. "There's a cave behind the waterfall, and there's a strong energy fluctuation inside," the Ice Princess relayed the Ice Bird's message to everyone.

Everyone exchanged glances, then headed towards the waterfall. Xu Tiancai walked in front, the power of the stars forming a shield in front of him, resisting the powerful impact of the waterfall. As they crossed the waterfall, the icy water hit them like countless steel needles, but they gritted their teeth and persevered.

Upon entering the cave, they discovered a hidden gem. The walls were inlaid with countless blue crystals, emitting a soft blue light that illuminated the entire cavern like a dream. Thick vapor filled the air, which, illuminated by the blue light, formed all sorts of wondrous shapes, creating a mystical wonderland.

However, the calm didn't last long. Suddenly, the water in the cave began to surge violently, and jets of water shot towards the crowd from all directions. As swift as arrows from a bow, the water jets traced blue trails through the air.

"Be careful!" Xu Tiancai shouted, brandishing the Star Demon-Breaking Sword in his hand. The sword energy surged, shattering the approaching water arrows one after another. But the water arrows continued to shoot, seemingly endless.

Ah Gang roared, swung his battle axe, and his golden eternal fighting spirit collided with the water arrows, splashing water. His body was as solid as an iron tower, motionless under the attack of the water arrows, protecting his companions behind him.

Lin performed the "Wind Dance of Time and Space," creating a vortex of wind around them. The vortex spun at high speed, drawing in the approaching water arrows and crushing them into countless droplets. However, as the number of water arrows increased, the vortex's speed gradually slowed.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, and the magic of ice gathered in her hand, forming a massive ice shield. The shield was covered in intricate runes, which shimmered with blue light, enhancing its defensive power. The water arrows struck the shield, unable to penetrate, but the impact still caused the Ice Princess to retreat slightly.

The mysterious figure quickly formed seals with his hands, merging the forces of darkness and light into chaotic energy. He transformed this chaotic energy into ripples, which spread out towards the water arrows. Wherever the ripples reached, the water arrows dissipated, but were quickly replaced by new ones.

The man in white played his flute, and the sound transformed into a school of shimmering fish. They darted through the water, using their bodies to block the water arrows. Their bodies flickered under the impact of the water arrows, but they still stubbornly protected the group.

"This isn't going to work. We need to find the source of the attack," Xu Tiancai shouted. He concentrated, trying to sense the source of the water arrows through the power of the stars. Strengthened by the star power, he vaguely sensed that the water arrows were emanating from a water formation deep within the cave.

"Everyone, follow me! The source of the attack is over there!" Xu Tiancai said, rushing towards the depths of the cave. Everyone followed closely behind him, struggling forward under the attack of the water arrows.

When they reached the depths of the cave, they discovered a massive water formation. The formation consisted of countless blue runes that shimmered in the water, releasing powerful water elemental forces. Water arrows were continuously fired from these runes.

"Destroy this formation!" Ah Gang shouted. He swung his battle axe and chopped at the edge of the formation. The battle axe struck the formation's energy barrier, creating a dazzling splash of water, but the formation wasn't significantly affected.

Lin cast wind elemental magic, attempting to sever the energy connection of the formation with a wind blade. The wind blade struck the rune, causing it to flicker for a moment before returning to normal.

The Ice Princess summoned a cone of ice and shot it towards the center of the formation. As it approached the formation, it was melted by the powerful force of the water element and turned into a pool of water.

The mysterious figure and the man in white joined forces. The mysterious figure used chaotic energy to disrupt the energy flow of the formation, while the man in white played the flute, searching for the weak point of the formation through the sound of the flute. After some effort, they found an energy node at the top of the formation, where the energy fluctuations were relatively weak.

"Attack the top node!" the mysterious figure shouted.

Everyone followed the order and launched an attack on the energy node at the top of the formation. Xu Tiancai's sword energy, Agang's battle axe, Lin's wind blade, the Ice Princess's icy magic, the mysterious figure's chaotic energy, and the white-clothed figure's flute-like light simultaneously struck the energy node. Under the attack, the energy node began to flicker, and the surrounding water formation also began to become disordered.

"Keep attacking!" Xu Tiancai shouted. Everyone increased their attack strength, continuously impacting the energy node. Under the continuous attack, the energy node finally gave way and shattered after a flash of dazzling blue light.

As the energy nodes shattered, the water formation dissipated, and the water arrow attacks ceased. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that this was only the beginning of their exploration of the secret realm of water.

At that moment, the water in the cave began to converge, forming a massive Water Giant. Its body was composed of flowing water, and its eyes were like two blue vortexes, emanating the powerful power of the water element. The Water Giant let out a deep roar that echoed throughout the cave, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.

"Another big guy is coming!" Agang gripped his battle axe tightly, ready for battle.

The Water Giant raised his massive arm and smashed it towards everyone. His arm was like a blue mountain of water, carrying an overwhelming momentum.

Xu Tiancai unleashed his "Star Creation Sword," merging the power of the stars with the power of the hourglass, transforming it into a brilliant sword energy. This energy slashed at the Water Giant's arm, colliding with the Water Giant's attack with a deafening explosion. Xu Tiancai felt as if he were being swept by a massive torrent, his body involuntarily flung backward, slamming heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Agang roared and rushed forward. Unleashing his eternal fighting spirit to its fullest, he swung his battle axe with unstoppable force towards the Water Giant's legs. The axe struck the Water Giant's leg, sending a massive splash of water but leaving only a shallow mark. The Water Giant kicked out, and Agang dodged quickly, but was still swept by the giant's kick, sending his body flying like a cannonball.

Lin unleashed her "Wind Dance of Space and Time," forming a massive wind shield above them, attempting to ward off the Water Giant's attacks. The shield trembled violently under the Water Giant's attack, seemingly ready to shatter at any moment. Lin's face paled as she strained to maintain the shield, sweat pouring down her forehead.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, and the magic of ice gathered in her hand, forming a gigantic Ice Phoenix. The Ice Phoenix flew towards the Water Giant, continuously emitting icy breath as it flew, attempting to freeze the giant. However, the Water Giant's water elemental power was too strong, and the ice breath melted the giant's body as soon as it touched it. When the Ice Phoenix reached the giant, it was shattered by a punch, turning into countless ice shards.

The mysterious figure quickly formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light merged into chaotic energy in his hands. He transformed this chaotic energy into a massive energy shield, blocking everyone in front of him. At the same time, he injected chaotic energy into the wind shield and ice shield, attempting to enhance their defensive capabilities.

The man in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into a swarm of radiant light beasts. They charged the Water Giant, engaging in close combat. Kirinmon burned the giant's body with flames, Phoenixmon attacked the giant's head with multicolored flames, and Lionmon struck the giant's legs with powerful force. But the Water Giant was too powerful, and the beasts' attacks barely tickled it, and they were quickly dispersed.

Under the powerful attack of the Water Giant, the crowd gradually began to lose their resistance. They all suffered varying degrees of injuries, and their magic power and fighting spirit were largely depleted. But they did not give up, and their eyes were still filled with determination.

"We must defeat it before we can continue searching for the Heart of the Water Element." Xu Tiancai got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gripped the Star Demon-Breaking Sword again.

"That's right, let's go together!" Agang also stood up, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Everyone cheered up and began to think about how to defeat the Water Giant. During the battle, they found that when the Water Giant attacked, certain parts of his body would experience energy fluctuations, especially his chest and back, where the energy fluctuations were the strongest.

"Attack its chest and back, that might be its weak points!" Lin shouted.

After hearing this, everyone adjusted the direction of their attacks. Xu Tiancai unleashed the "Star Creation Sword" and slashed at the water giant's chest. A Gang swung his battle axe and slashed at the water giant's back. Lin manipulated the wind element, forming sharp wind blades that shot towards the giant's chest and back. The Ice Princess summoned an ice cone and shot it at the giant's chest. The mysterious figure gathered the chaotic energy into a huge energy ball and threw it at the giant's back. The man in white played the flute, and the sound of the flute turned into a huge dragon of light. The dragon opened its mouth and spewed a brilliant and colorful light towards the giant's chest.

The Water Giant sensed the attacks and tried to block them with its arms and body, but the attacks were too fast and at odd angles, so some of them hit the Giant's chest and back.

The Water Giant's body trembled slightly after being hit in the chest and back. It roared angrily, and its attacks became even more frantic. It waved its massive arms, launching round after round of attacks at the crowd.

Under the frenzied attacks of the Water Giant, the group once again fell into a bitter battle. However, they did not retreat, and continued to look for opportunities to attack the Giant's weaknesses. During the fierce battle, they discovered that after each powerful attack of the Water Giant, his body would have a short period of energy depletion.

"Wait until it launches a powerful attack next time, then we will attack its weaknesses together!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Everyone prepared themselves, waiting for their chance. Sure enough, the Water Giant launched another powerful attack, raising its arms high and smashing down on everyone. After nimbly dodging the attack, everyone immediately launched their strongest attacks at the weak points of the Water Giant's chest and back.
