After withdrawing her hand, Qi Ling squeezed it slightly and exclaimed, "Wow, that's hard! It's really impressive!"
Only someone like him would dare to test the skull hardness of Rampaging Wild Boar with his own fist; anyone else would probably have broken their finger by now.
Although Qi Ling knocked it down, the wild boar was not actually dead. Since none of them had a suitable Soul Ring for it, Qi Ling didn't intend to kill it. Given its current state of dizziness, it would be able to leave on its own soon.
Sitting atop the massive body of the Rampaging Wild Boar, Qi Ling smiled at Tang San and the others, saying, " Xiao San, you'd better hurry, or we'll let them escape!"
At this point, the Shrek team had made some progress. They had defeated the three-thousand-year-old Blood Demon Rabbit, but since they didn't have a suitable replacement, they didn't take its life.
The remaining Qilin Armor Beast resembled a giant crocodile, about five meters long, with four eyes on its head and short, thick limbs like buckets. Its most distinctive feature was that its entire body was covered with a layer of black plate armor, which looked extremely tough.
The characteristic of this kind of Soul Beast is its immense strength and astonishing defense. It can almost ignore any attack from Soul Beast of the same level, and even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast rarely manage to break through its defenses.
The Shrek members were quite troubled in dealing with this Soul Beast. Neither Dai Mubai's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave nor Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike could cause it fatal damage. The two of them were even almost bitten by its huge mouth when they were not careful.
"Damn it, this stinky crocodile's skin is harder than a turtle's!" Ma Hongjun said helplessly. " Xiao San, it's no use, we can't do anything with it!"
Tang San looked at this guy and was also troubled. If he couldn't figure out where its weakness was, he would have no way to deal with such Soul Beast with such terrifying defense.
Oscar, standing nearby, remarked, "Sigh, if Boss Qi were willing to make a move, he could probably smash its shell with just one punch, right?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Qi Ling with a pitiful expression and said, " Qi Ling, what should we do with this guy?"
"Don't even think about it! I've said it before, you have to deal with this guy yourselves. I won't help you!" Qi Ling said decisively. "If you can't handle it on your own, then I can only declare your operation a failure."
"Hmph, stingy!" Ning Rongrong pouted, but then she turned her attention back to the Qilin Armor Beast.
Qi Ling explicitly refused to help, so the Shrek Seven Devils had to find their own solution. Tang San ordered everyone to intensify their attack on the Qilin Armor Beast, while he activated his Purple Demon Eye to search for its weakness.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off. Tang San soon discovered that although this Qilin Armor Beast could ignore attacks from any part of its body, it would always keep its mouth tightly shut when facing an attack.
After pondering for a moment, Tang San immediately ordered the others, "Fatty, Mubai, I'll lure it into attacking later. You guys seize the opportunity and attack its mouth!"
Seeing Tang San's command, Qi Ling couldn't help but admire him. Xiao San's observation skills were indeed amazing; he had found the weakness of the Qilin Armor Beast so quickly.
Under Tang San's command, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were both ready to attack, since they were the only two among them who possessed ranged attack capabilities.
At the same time, Tang San also summoned the Blue Silver Grass, connecting with Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu. However, this time the method of use was reversed, with the two of them supporting him and pulling Tang San to a safe place when the Qilin Armor Beast launched its attack.
After formulating the battle plan, Tang San took the lead and deliberately exposed a weakness in front of the Qilin Armor Beast.
The Qilin Armor Beast, already impatient from the barrage of fire, seized the opportunity to attack and immediately opened its massive maw, lunging at Tang San.
"Now, Mubai, Fatty!" Tang San shouted.
Upon receiving the order, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun immediately launched their prepared attack, sending two beams of light, one white and one red, straight into the mouth of the Qilin Armor Beast.
" Phoenix Fire Line!"
" White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also began to exert their strength at the same time. The two of them grabbed Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and pulled him out of the attack of the Qilin Armor Beast, leaving it to launch a fierce attack.
With its fatal weakness exploited, the Qilin Armor Beast proved to be more vulnerable than the others had anticipated, letting out a mournful howl before collapsing to the ground.
"Yay! Great, we did it!" Ning Rongrong cheered happily, then made a face at Qi Ling, "Hmph! Qi Ling, look, we can do it ourselves!"
Qi Ling was quite satisfied at this point, because everyone's cooperation was getting better and better. With Xiao San as the overall commander, their operations would surely become more and more sophisticated.
"Alright, Rongrong, you should hurry up and absorb this guy's Soul Ring. Its attributes and abilities are just right for you, so it's a good choice." Qi Ling said, slowly walking towards the Qilin Armor Beast.
But just as Qi Ling arrived beside the Qilin Armor Beast, a sudden change occurred. The Qilin Armor Beast, which had been motionless, suddenly sprang up from the ground, opened its huge mouth, and bit off half of Qi Ling's body.
Although everyone had already inflicted fatal wounds on it, the vitality of Soul Beast is incredibly strong. Even in its final, desperate counterattack, it is something that ordinary people cannot withstand.
" Boss Qi!" "Big Brother!" " Qi Ling!"
Everyone was shocked. They never expected that the Qilin Armor Beast could launch a counterattack even in its death throes. They were filled with regret and just wanted to rush forward to help Qi Ling.
But just then, Qi Ling's voice suddenly came from the mouth of the Qilin Armor Beast: "From now on, all of you must remember that cunning is not a human's exclusive right. Soul Beast, in order to survive, sometimes display intelligence no less than that of humans!"
"Don't let your guard down until you're certain the Soul Beast is incapacitated. Even if it's on its last legs, maintain a high level of vigilance! Otherwise, next time, if I'm not the one bitten, it could lead to disaster!"
Then, the Qilin Armor Beast's mouth slowly opened, and Qi Ling braced herself against its teeth with both hands, overcoming its terrifying bite force with her own strength!
"Ha!" With a sudden shout, Qi Ling exerted his strength, instantly dislocating the Qilin Armor Beast's mouth, which opened wide and could not be closed again.
"See? That's how you make sure everything is foolproof!" Qi Ling laughed. "Alright, Rongrong, come with me. While there aren't many Soul Beast yet, it's best to absorb this Soul Ring as soon as possible."
Watching Qi Ling dragging the tail of the Qilin Armor Beast towards the poison array, Tang San smiled wryly and said, "Sure enough, we are still far from reaching Big Brother's level."
