As the two stone pythons grew considerably larger, Lin Yu remained unmoved, standing firmly in place.
"Boom..."
With a simple attack, he knocked the stone python away twice more, seemingly no different from the scene just now.
However, Lin Yu couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.
Because those two stone pythons had just been fiercely knocked away by him, but now they seemed to have done nothing and flew towards Lin Yu again.
"System, deduce the attributes of these two stone pythons and how to resolve them!" Lin Yu summoned the system in his mind.
Although these two stone pythons weren't particularly strong, dealing with them seemed to require a special method. Having learned from the previous experience with puppetry, Lin Yu decided to let the system deduce the possibilities first.
"Ding! Simulation in progress... Simulation complete!"
Fortunately, the system's deduction this time was accurate and quickly provided Lin Yu with the results.
"Ding! Based on the analysis, both stone pythons have snake bodies and dragon souls, but their dragon souls are incomplete, making them vulnerable to fire magic. It is recommended to use fire magic to counter them!"
The system's advice was very clear, but after listening to it, Lin Yu frowned even more.
The reason is simple: he was currently in the territory of the Phoenix Clan, and the Phoenix Clan is most famous for its fire-attribute magic.
Lin Yu's gaze fell on the phoenix clansman. No matter what, this young man was a genuine ancient phoenix. If he used fire-attribute magic, then it would be his domain.
In this situation, would using fire-attribute spells really be that effective?
Lin Yu had some doubts, as his most proficient spells were lightning-based.
Although his true strength far surpasses that of the phoenix youth before him, the difference is not necessarily true when it comes to the intensity of fire-attribute magic.
"Buzz..."
Lin Yu drew a long sword directly from his storage space. In an instant, the blade was engulfed in flames. When Lin Yu faced the ferocious beasts that pounced on him again, he naturally used this method.
Each strike was fatal, aimed directly at the head.
This time, Lin Yu was trying it out; he refused to believe that an animal controlled by magic couldn't possibly be without any weaknesses.
If that's really the case, then it's just too invincible.
Unfortunately, it seems that the head is not the weak point of these creatures. After Lin Yu cut off their heads, they grew new heads in the blink of an eye.
The whole process was quite mysterious. The entire creature swelled up like a balloon, its body expanding, and then the expanded parts connected with each other, giving birth to a new head.
However, the newly grown head was smaller than before.
Lin Yu focused his gaze and discovered that after heads had grown, the bodies of those creatures continued to inflate, only at an extremely slow rate.
Clearly, the head is expanding at an extremely slow rate; perhaps once it reaches its original size, the inflation will stop.
However, the inflation process did not prevent these creatures from launching an attack.
Lin Yu pondered. He realized that simply slicing open the bodies of those creatures had somehow managed to make them hold their breath, but now severing their heads seemed to have no effect...
It seems that "beheading" has little effect on these creatures.
The young man from the Phoenix Clan burst into laughter upon seeing Lin Yu's actions. "You are utterly foolish! Didn't you already make it perfectly clear? These things may appear to move, but they are actually nothing more than inanimate objects!"
"It's just a shell; even using Origin Techniques won't work on them!"
The young man from the Phoenix Clan spoke with smug satisfaction, and Lin Yu shook his head helplessly at his appearance.
Upon closer examination, this is indeed the case; the arrogance of the young people of the Phoenix Clan was not without reason.
Furthermore, this place is the burial ground of the ancient Phoenix clan; it's not a place where you can come and go as you please.
For the ancient Phoenix Clan, the contents of the tomb are very likely related to their reputation, and may even contain some unspeakable secrets.
However, Feng Nianzhi, as the Phoenix Lord, brought Lin Yu to this place without much hesitation. On the one hand, she might have been helpless against Lin Yu's strength, but on the other hand, she might have believed in the power within this tomb.
The high priest in black robes had devoted himself to the ancient phoenix clan for so many years; it was absolutely impossible that he hadn't made some arrangements within the phoenix tomb.
"These snacks I've encountered here, and this young man from the Phoenix Clan, are most likely just foreplay," Lin Yu thought to himself.
While Lin Yu was pondering this, the young man from the Phoenix Clan standing opposite him looked even more smug.
There was no other reason than that Lin Yu had already withdrawn all his spiritual power, including the faint flames on his longsword.
The young man from the Phoenix Clan assumed that Lin Yu was helpless against him, which is why he was overjoyed.
"Hahaha, even if you kneel down and surrender now, my ancient Phoenix Clan will not let you off easily!" The young man from the Phoenix Clan said with a grin.
As he spoke, the young man from the Phoenix Clan also controlled a spirit beast, a fierce tiger, to pounce on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was naturally not going to sit idly by and wait to die. He raised his long sword and, instead of retreating even half a step, charged forward.
"Overestimating yourself!" A bloodthirsty glint appeared in the eyes of the young man from the Phoenix Clan, as if he could already imagine his spirit beasts tearing Lin Yu to shreds.
Little did he expect that this dreamlike scene would not happen at all. Lin Yu gently slashed at the tiger's body, and the once ferocious spirit beast lost its life in the blink of an eye.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
With a shudder, the tiger's skin withered rapidly, and in an instant, it fell to the ground like a deflated balloon.
"Hmph, do you really think your attack will work?" The young man from the Phoenix Clan sneered, changing his spell to try and re-inflate the tiger.
However, in the next second, the young man from the Phoenix Clan changed his expression, from being full of confidence to being incredulous!
"Whoosh..."
A gentle breeze blew by, scattering the ashes that the fierce tiger spirit beast had turned into.
The moment the tiger spirit beast's skin hit the ground, it instantly turned into ashes.
Everything happened in an instant. The young members of the Phoenix Clan didn't even have time to react before they could watch helplessly as one of their capable lieutenants was gone.
Lin Yu, on the other hand, looked down at him.
