After Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle rushed out of Mine Cave, the speed suddenly increased,
Fire Python Technique failed to break through the carapace.
The defense of Second-Order Middle Grade Demon Beast is another level higher than that of Flood Dragon Scale Lizard. The carapace has been soaked in Fiend Qi for many years, and its hardness is far beyond that of ordinary scales or animal skins.
Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's mouthparts suddenly opened, and the dark red light in the cracks on the body surface lit up at the same time.
The next moment, it shook its carapace violently.
A large amount of condensed Fiend Qi sprayed out from the cracks, turning into a dark red fan-shaped black mist that swept over the ground.
The Affix of Fiend Origin Unification played its role. The layer of Fiend Qi pressing towards it was quickly thinned out, and the cold erosion feeling in the sand tide was immediately reduced by most.
The remaining Fiend Qi is also absorbed by Li Yuan, which has a very slight impact on the body.
Li Yuan does not continue to use Fire Python Technique.
Fire Python Technique just Entry Level, the power has not been fully exerted. In contrast, although Fireball Technique is a First-Order spell, Proficiency is close to Perfection, and with the blessing of multiple Affix, its actual power is no worse than Fire Python Technique just Entry Level.
Moreover, the explosive power of Fireball Technique is more concentrated.
Fire Python Technique's damage is linear and distributed along the snake's body. Fireball Technique's damage is point-like. All spiritual power is compressed in a sphere and is released instantly upon impact.
To deal with thick armor Demon Beast, concentrated burst is more effective than dispersed coverage.
Li Yuan raised his right hand continuously.
Fireball Technique.
The crimson Fireball quickly formed in the palm of your hand and was shot out.
The first shot was aimed at Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's head, hitting the carapace between the two tentacles head-on.
Boom.
The charred marks on the carapace expanded in a circle, and the cracks spread two inches from the impact point to all sides.
Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's antennae suddenly retracted, and its mouthparts made a sharp rattling sound.
Seeing that Fiend Qi was of no use to Li Yuan, Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle fully stretched its limbs and rushed towards Li Yuan. Its huge body ran over the ground, leaving a deep claw mark.
The second shot Fireball followed and hit the same location.
The cracks expanded, and a shallow depression appeared on the surface of the carapace.
Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle has rushed within twenty feet.
Li Yuan tapped the ground with his toes, Godly Movement Step pushed forward, and dodged sideways. Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's charge brushed against his side, and the air waves caused by the huge carapace blew Li Yuan's robes.
Unable to stop his limbs, Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle crashed into a dead tree. The dead tree broke from its roots and its trunk flew more than ten feet away.
Li Yuan caught it while it was turning around, and hit Fireball three times in a row at the same position.
The first shot completely exploded the carapace in the depression, revealing the dark red muscles underneath. The second shot was poured into the crack and exploded in the muscle layer. The third shot penetrated deep from the same crack, and the burning of the flame spread inside the carapace.
Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle let out a dull roar, and its huge body trembled violently. It did not continue to charge, but curled up its body, folded its limbs, and closed its carapace into a huge spherical defensive posture, protecting the crack under its body.
Shrunk.
Li Yuan stopped attacking and stood ten feet away to observe.
After shrinking the shell, Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle has stronger defense. The gaps between the carapace are all closed, and Fireball Technique can only leave a white mark when stamped on it.
But it can't shrink forever.
Li Yuan releases Fiend Qi stored in the body again.
The rich Fiend Qi gushes out from the body surface, forming a dark red mist visible to the naked eye around the body.
Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's tentacles stretched out from the gap in the carapace, trembling wildly.
Demon Beast, which feeds on Fiend Qi, cannot tolerate this concentration of Fiend Qi for long.
Li Yuan released Fiend Qi while slowly retreating to distance itself.
After about twenty breaths, Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's carapace began to loosen.
It can't hold on any longer.
The carapace slowly opened, the limbs stretched out, and the tentacles pointed in the direction of Li Yuan. The mouthparts opened wide and began to frantically absorb the surrounding Fiend Qi.
The crack was exposed.
Li Yuan raised his right hand.
Fireball Technique.
This Fireball took half a breath longer to condense than before, and the compression density of the spiritual power reached the extreme.
The Fireball in the palm is a circle smaller than usual, but the color has changed from red to dark red, and the Spiritual Power Pattern on the surface is extremely dense.
Get rid of it.
Fireball passed through a distance of ten feet, and Precision penetrated into the crack in the carapace.
Boom.
The explosion sound this time was duller than any previous one. Fireball exploded inside the carapace, and scorching flames spurted out from every crack in the carapace.
Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's body arched suddenly, his limbs kicked spasmodically a few times, and a roar came out of his mouth, his voice hoarse and harsh.
Panel jumped out at this moment.
[Spell: Fireball Technique--Perfection(3200/3200)]
Fireball Technique Perfection.
Li Yuan did not pause, and raised his right hand again.
Gold Blade Technique.
Silver-white blade light shot out from the fingertips, and Gold Edge Enhancement and Barrier-Breaking Penetration were added simultaneously. The blade light cut into the crack, penetrated deep into the carapace, penetrated the muscle layer that had been burned by Fireball, and reached the internal organs.
Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's body hit the ground heavily, his limbs spread out, and his tentacles hanging down.
The mouthparts slowly close and no longer open and close.
The breath dissipates.
Li Yuan took back his hand and walked to the body of Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle.
Second-Order Middle Grade Demon Beast is much more difficult to deal with than Flood Dragon Scale Lizard.
I am not as good as Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and Demon Beast who are below Third-Order are slightly weaker than monks of the same level, and I have enough Affix on me, so it is easy to win.
The hardness of the carapace and the defensive posture of the shrunken shell make it almost impossible to attack from the front. You can only rely on concentrated firepower to break open the same position, and then use Fiend Qi to lure it to actively expose its weaknesses.
Li Yuan squatted down and began to disassemble the materials.
The carapace is the most valuable part. The carapace that has been soaked in Fiend Qi for many years is much harder than ordinary Second-Order Monster Beast defense materials. If Artifact Refining Dao is used, it can make an extremely strong defense Law Artifact.
It took a lot of time to disassemble the carapace. The joints of the carapace are extremely tight and need to be cut off piece by piece with Gold Blade Technique.
The carapace, bones, antennae, and horny valves of the mouthparts are put into the storage bag one by one.
Then probe into the abdominal cavity and take out Inner Core.
Inner Core is deep in the internal organs, dark gray, with a layer of extremely fine dark red lines on the surface, and the spiritual power fluctuates steadily. It is larger than Flood Dragon Scale Lizard and Inner Core, and is heavier to hold.
Li Yuan placed Inner Core in the palm of his hand and pressed it with his fingers.
No response.
No Affix.
Li Yuan puts Inner Core into the storage bag.
As I was packing, I heard footsteps in the distance.
Chen Yi came over from the direction of Mine Cave with two Yuanyang Sect Disciple.
Chen Yi saw the remains of Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle on the ground, paused, glanced around the corpse, and then looked at Li Yuan.
"Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle. Came out of the branch mine and has been absorbing Fiend Qi."
Chen Yi walked to the wreckage, looked at the traces of cutting and disassembly, and nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work. Everyone in Mine Cave is fine. You diverted them in time."
Chen Yi glanced at him, as if he was considering his words.
"Fellow Daoist Li, when you practice Fiend Qi Cultivation Method, do you usually need a lot of Fiend Qi?"
"Need."
Chen Yi nodded and looked towards the depths of Ghost Mist Forest.
"The area of Ghost Mist Forest is not small, but no one has been stationed in the deep area for a long time. The concentration of Fiend Qi is too high, and ordinary monks cannot stay there."
He looked back.
"Since you can practice in the Fiend Qi environment, why not give you a piece of land in Ghost Mist Forest. You will be stationed there for a long time to practice. By the way, you can help the sect keep an eye on the Mine Cave area. If Demon Beast appears, you can deal with it in time."
Long-term stationing, exclusive territory.
"You choose the location yourself." Chen Yi added. "Just pick a piece deep in Ghost Mist Forest, as long as it doesn't affect the mining of Mine Cave."
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded
Chen Yi nodded, without saying much, and took the two disciples back to the direction of Mine Cave.
Li Yuan cleaned up the remaining debris on the ground and found a Fiend Qi rich open space nearby to sit down.
Take out all the materials of Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle from the storage bag and check them one by one.
The carapace, twelve complete armor pieces of different sizes, is dark gray and extremely hard in texture. Li Yuan felt it, and there was no Affix fluctuation.
There are several segments of bones, vertebrae and ribs, and the density is extremely high. There is no Affix.
There are two tentacles, flexible but tough, with fine lines on the surface. No Affix.
Oral horny flaps, four pieces. No Affix.
Inner Core. I checked again, still not there.
All without Affix.
Li Yuan Put the materials back into the storage bag.
Second-Order Middle Grade Demon Beast's materials themselves are of high value. The carapace and bones used by Artifact Refining Dao can make a pretty good defense against Law Artifact. Previously, the scales and bones of Flood Dragon Scale Lizard were still in the storage bag. With the addition of this batch of Fiend Armored Giant Dung Beetle's carapace, a lot of Artifact Refining Dao's materials have been accumulated.
There is still a piece of Crafting Token over there at the Ji Family. You can talk to Ji Huaiyuan after the mission of Mineral Vein Dao is over.
Li Yuan sits cross-legged and runs Azure Wood Longevity Art.
The concentration of Fiend Qi in the depths of Ghost Mist Forest is extremely high, and the passive effect of Fiend Origin Unification is fully operational. Fiend Qi automatically gathers, quenches the body, quenches the soul, and transforms spiritual power, and the four lines advance simultaneously.
