The sun sets in the west, the light gradually dims deep in the dense forest, and the branches and leaves of the towering ancient trees are intertwined.
The humid air is filled with the smell of rotting leaves and earth, and the occasional chirping of birds makes the forest even more profound and quiet.
Liu Mingyu squatted half-crouched behind a thick oak tree, pressing his palm lightly on the ground. The earthy yellow Dou Qi quietly seeped into the soil, sensing the movement around him.
He frowned slightly and whispered.
"Yuting, be careful, that beast should be nearby."
Liu Yuting holds the short bow in his hand tightly, a layer of light blue Water attribute Dou Qi lingering on his fingertips.
She held her breath and scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes. Suddenly, her body trembled slightly, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
"Brother! It seems that the Dou Qi in my body is surging, and it may be about to break through."
Her voice was a little tight,
Liu Mingyu turned around suddenly, with both surprise and joy in his eyes.
"Now?!"
Liu Yuting bit his lip and nodded, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Breaking through Dou Zhe is a good thing, but in this dangerous jungle, if Wood-swallowing Fox takes the opportunity to attack, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Damn it, it just so happens that you retreat behind that ancient tree at this time, I will guard you!"
Liu Mingyu gritted his teeth and made a quick decision.
Liu Yuting shook his head.
"No, that beast is very cunning, just in case it takes the opportunity to sneak up on you!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Liu Mingyu shouted, grabbed her wrist and pushed her towards the giant tree with tangled roots behind her.
"Breakthrough is important, I can stop it!"
"No matter how strong Dou Qi is, it is far less powerful than Dou Zhe. This once-in-a-lifetime breakthrough opportunity must not be missed."
Liu Yuting wanted to say something else, but the churning Dou Qi inside her body no longer allowed her to delay any longer. She took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, formed a hand seal with her hands, and a light blue halo gradually appeared around her body.
Liu Mingyu leaned against the tree trunk and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes. Earth-attribute Battle Qi quietly gathered together, ready to respond to a surprise attack at any time.
"Shasha--"
There was a slight noise from the bushes not far away. Liu Mingyu's pupils shrank, his palms pressed to the ground, and he let out a low drink.
"Rock Barrier!"
"Boom!"
An earth wall suddenly rose up from the ground. Almost at the same moment, a green shadow rushed towards the earth wall like lightning and hit the earth wall hard!
"Sure enough, it's here!"
Liu Mingyu sneered, put his hands together, and the earthen wall instantly cracked, turning into countless sharp stone thorns, shooting towards Wood-swallowing Fox!
The beast had a strong body and twisted strangely in the air, avoiding most of the attacks. After landing, it bared its teeth and roared, staring at Liu Mingyu with its green eyes.
"Beast, don't even think about escaping today!"
Liu Mingyu The fighting spirit rose, and he was about to attack again, but suddenly there was a strong Dou Qi wave behind him!
His heart was shocked, and he looked back to see the blue light all over Liu Yuting. Water attribute Dou Qi was surging like a tidal wave, and the aura was rising steadily!
"It's almost done!"
Liu Mingyu was overjoyed, but with this distraction, Wood-swallowing Fox had seized the opportunity and pounced!
Liu Mingyu's pupils suddenly shrank, and Wood-swallowing Fox's sharp claws were in front of him!
He didn't have time to gather Dou Qi's defense, so he could only turn sideways and receive the blow with his shoulder!
"Tsk!"
The sharp claws tore open the flesh, blood spattered, and the severe pain burned the nerves like fire.
Liu Mingyu groaned and staggered back. When he lowered his head, he saw that his right shoulder was bloody and bloody, and even his white collarbone was vaguely visible!
"Brother!"
Liu Yuting's exclamation came from behind, with a tremor in his voice.
"Don't be distracted! Keep breaking through! I can hold on!"
Liu Mingyu gritted his teeth and growled, enduring the severe pain. Earth-attribute Battle Qi surged crazily, condensing a layer of rough Rock Armor in front of him.
Wood-swallowing Fox succeeded with one blow, but did not continue to attack. Instead, he dodged and disappeared into the depths of the jungle again.
"Damn it, you beast!"
Liu Mingyu was sweating on his forehead, staring intently at the swaying shadows of the trees around him.
Wood-swallowing Fox is known for its cunning. It will not fight head-on, but will continue to wander and attack sneakily until the prey loses too much blood and is unable to resist!
"Shasha--"
The bush on the left moves slightly.
Liu Mingyu turned around suddenly and punched out, causing earth and rocks to fly!
However, there is nothing there!
"Fooled!"
His heart trembled, and almost at the same time, a strong wind hit him from behind!
"Bang!"
Wood-swallowing Fox's sharp claws slapped his back hard, Rock Armor instantly shattered, Liu Mingyu was overturned by the huge force, and hit a tree hard, with a trace of blood spilling from his mouth.
"Ahem, you beast!"
He struggled to get up, but his eyes became more and more fierce.
Wood-swallowing Fox did not pursue him, but instead disappeared into the shadows again, as if toying with him.
Liu Mingyu knows that it is waiting, waiting for you to lose too much blood, waiting for you to reveal your flaws!
"We can't delay Yu Ting anymore, she still needs time!"
He gritted his teeth, slammed his palm on the ground, and poured Earth-attribute Battle Qi crazily into the ground!
"Earth Collapse!"
"Boom."
The ground within a few feet suddenly collapsed, and the bush where Wood-swallowing Fox was hiding was swallowed up instantly!
However, the beast reacted extremely quickly, leaping up at the moment of the collapse, and landed on a horizontal branch in the distance, its green eyes flashing sarcastically.
"It's really difficult!"
Liu Mingyu was breathing heavily, the wound on his shoulder was bleeding, and his vision was somewhat blurred.
Just then.
"Whoops!"
An ice-blue arrow shot through the air and accurately nailed the branch where Wood-swallowing Fox was standing!
"Crack!"
The branch broke and Wood-swallowing Fox was caught off guard and fell down!
Liu Mingyu turned around suddenly and saw that Liu Yuting had stood up, Dou Qi was surging all over his body, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit!
"Brother, take my place!"
Her voice was cold, the short bow in her hand was fully drawn again, and the arrow pointed directly at Wood-swallowing Fox!
Wood-swallowing Fox growled lowly, seeming to sense that the situation had reversed. He swayed and wanted to get into the dense forest again.
"Want to run?!"
"Rock Prison!"
Liu Mingyu smiled ferociously and stamped his feet violently.
"Boom!"
Several stone pillars protruded from the ground, instantly blocking Wood-swallowing Fox's retreat!
Wood-swallowing Fox was trapped, and a trace of panic finally flashed through the beast's eyes.
"It's over."
Liu Yuting spoke coldly, and the arrow left the string!
"Poof!"
The ice blue arrow light penetrated Wood-swallowing Fox's throat, blood spattered, it twitched a few times, and finally fell to the ground motionless.
The two of them cooperated perfectly, one person controlled it, and the other person took action to kill quickly.
If it hadn't been for this chance, there would have been no chance of getting hurt.
The dense forest returned to silence, leaving only the heavy breathing of the brother and sister.
Liu Mingyu staggered two steps, finally unable to hold on any longer, he knelt down on one knee.
"Brother! You, why are you so stupid!"
Liu Yuting rushed forward and supported him, his eyes red.
Liu Mingyu grinned, pretending to be relaxed even though his face was as pale as paper.
"Hey, your brother, I'm thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so I can't die."
Liu Yuting bit his lip, quickly tore off his clothes and bandaged his wounds, his voice choked with sobs.
"Don't do this again next time!"
Liu Mingyu looked at her, her eyes full of relief.
"It's worth your while to break through Dou Zhe. It's more important than anything else."
"We can be more bold in the missions we take on in the future. Today was just a bit unlucky."
Liu Yuting couldn't bear it anymore, tears burst into his eyes.
