The dark lava lake surface cracked with crimson fissures due to the movements of the monster beneath, and these fissures continued to advance towards Su Li and his companions.

When the red cracks protruded to the left and right sides of the old man, the protrusions instantly caved in.

Watch your step!

Qi Guohui only had time to give a warning before grabbing Xiao Gao and leaping to the left, while the others also scattered in all directions.

With a loud boom, two enormous monsters burst through the ground and soared into the sky from where they had been standing.

Zuli and Sophia paddled a few strokes and landed back on the ground, looking up at the two attacking monsters.

“They’re the same type as the previous parasites,” Su Li recognized the original forms of the two monsters, “but they’ve undergone some modifications.”

The parasite on the left is quite thick, about 6 meters in diameter, though its length is currently unknown. Its head hasn't been modified, resembling the original, worm-like parasite. It has reddish-black circular spots on its body, and Su Li, with her sharp eyes, noticed what appeared to be a small opening in the center of each spot.

The parasite on the right is much slimmer, covered in dense, sharp scales with many angular edges, like blades. Its head has a petal-like structure that, when closed, resembles a drill bit.

"Watch out for that fat worm, he might have the ability to spit bodily fluids," Su Li quickly warned her teammates.

"Hehehe, go forth, my great serpent lord, destroy them and protect my people!" The old man roared loudly through the slit in his belly.

As the old man roared, the two enormous insects roared back. The powerful sound waves created ripples in the seawater.

"They're here!" Qi Guohui's gaze sharpened.

The first to launch the attack were Jingzhe and Sophia's shots.

"Eye!"

Jingzhe took out the short spear she had previously used to hunt large monsters and attacked the giant insect's eyes. The spear was enveloped in a layer of light.

The short spear, trailing a series of bubbles, struck the fat worm in the eye in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Sophia's attack came first, and in an instant, platinum bullets and short spears struck the fat worm's eyes together.

The short spear triggered first, and a burst of blue light exploded instantly. The short spear's water attribute enchantment was transformed into a freezing attribute, clashing with the fire attribute magic energy enveloping the fat worm.

Just then, Sofia's bullets unleashed their power.

A large amount of metallic magic energy transformed into cutting power, slicing numerous wounds in the fat worm's eyes. Then, this power acted as a catalyst, catalyzing the supply of ice-attribute energy. The ice on the fat worm's eyes was stimulated, instantly growing and penetrating deeper into the flesh, blinding the fat worm's eyes.

"Sigh~~~"

Caught off guard, the fat worm was severely injured by this combined attack. It roared and plunged its head into the lava, trying to use the power of the lava to alleviate the icy attack.

Seeing the effectiveness of this collaboration, Jingzhe couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing!"

Sofia maintained a dodge stance, remained silent, and continued to pull the trigger to attack the fat worm, but a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

This is the new power she gained after that accident. The power of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint.

This power can not only enhance one's own attacks, but also amplify the attacks of teammates.

The current Sofia possesses all elemental advantages, deals magic damage, and buffs teammates' damage, all completed instantly, making her a hero among marksmen.

Both archers activated their bullet hell mode simultaneously. After Jingzhe's arrows, Sophia's enchanted bullets would always follow, amplifying the damage of Jingzhe's arrows.

This was also Sophia's idea: a strategy to maximize damage. Since Jingzhe's arrows were enchanted, each shot was equivalent to firing an item. In comparison, Sophia's on-the-spot enchanted bullets were less powerful; it was better to focus on support damage for a higher overall damage output.

The ranged units had already opened fire, and Su Li and his melee team were also engaged by the skinny worm charging towards them.

The skinny insect closed the flower bud on its neck, started moving from the spot, and charged towards Su Li and the others.

It would be unwise to block the charge head-on from such a massive beast, so Su Li immediately stepped to the left to dodge.

Qi Guohui threw a spherical prop into the sea. It exploded in the water, and in an instant, a large amount of dark pigment turned the surrounding seawater black.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Guohui also dodged to the other side.

Su Li saw Qi Guohui's actions and immediately took out a pair of goggles and put them on her face.

Thanks to the goggles, Zu Li's vision was transformed into an infrared perspective. Amidst the crimson glow, the parasite's golden-red appearance was particularly striking.

The parasite, its face covered in sewage, lost all vision and began to frantically thrash around in the sewage.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Li picked up the mountain and sped towards it.

The mountain, held in Zuli's hands, shimmered with a blue-white glow.

Su Li recalled the fighting style of the Great Zhou that she had seen before. Instead of using the sword techniques that came with the Ice and Fire Sword, she imitated the Great Zhou's posture and stabbed into the gaps in the scales of the skinny worm's body.

The moment Shan Qing's sword blade collided with the skin of the slender worm, it made a hissing sound, and the slender worm's red body turned black at a visible speed.

A large amount of scalding fluid mixed with lava gushed out of the wound, causing several burns to Su Li when it touched her skin.

Despite the stinging pain from the burns on her skin, Su Li exerted all her strength to maintain the state of the ice sword and continued to stab it into the wound.

Having been attacked, the skinny worm naturally wouldn't do nothing. It slammed its body down onto the ground, trying to crush Su Li to death with its own weight.

At this moment, Qi Guohui also arrived. He didn't say anything, but the shield in his hand shone with golden light, protecting Su Li. From a distance, it looked as if a golden pimple had grown on the skin of the skinless insect.

The ranged attackers used their magic to weaken Qi Guohui and enhance his shield strength.

Su Li calculated the insertion distance in his mind, but the feeling from the Mountain Sway in his hand made him frown.

The sensation of piercing through some kind of leather did indeed occur, which meant that Su Li had once again pierced the parasite's energy channel. However, this sensation was very slight, completely different from the sensation of directly piercing the central nervous system before.

But there was no time to think about anything else. Su Li directly detonated a large amount of cold air from the mountain, pouring it all into the parasite's energy channel.

"hiss!!!"

The worm roared in agony, a sharp pain radiating outwards from the injured spot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Li drew her sword, but Qi Guohui quickly retreated.

He was breathing heavily. That explosion had drained nearly half of his magical energy. The massive output in a short period of time caused his energy channels to convulse, and he felt a stinging sensation all over his body.

"How did it go?" Qi Guohui asked. Su Li's previous feat of destroying a parasite with a single sword strike had made him very much looking forward to Su Li's next victory.

“No.” Su Li gasped for breath. “This is an improved version; the location of the energy core has changed.”
