"Maybe."
Shen Heng let out a soft breath and turned to look at Xiao Xiangtong.
"But at the current rate at which the lightning circle is closing, it should be completely closed by evening, at which point we may have to face many Calamity Beast."
"Yes, I know." Xiao Xiangtong nodded.
"So our challenge needs to be brought forward; we must at least kill the Dragon Armor Beast before other Calamity Beast arrive to harass us," Shen Heng said.
Xiao Xiangtong was slightly taken aback and did not reply immediately.
"What's wrong?" Shen Heng looked at Xiao Xiangtong with some confusion.
Xiao Xiangtong was silent for a moment, then looked at Shen Heng and said:
"I thought you would suggest abandoning the original plan and not going."
These words surprised Shen Heng slightly.
He chuckled softly.
"If this were reality, I would definitely refuse to carry out the original plan."
"Then we'll hide on the sidelines and wait until the other Calamity Beast arrive and both the calamity beasts and the Dragon Armor Beast are exhausted before we attack."
"This is the best way to survive."
"But this is a simulation, and there aren't any rewards. It wouldn't hurt to try challenging the strongest in the simulation."
Xiao Xiangtong nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.
The two didn't wait until dawn. After a short rest, they headed straight for the nearest subway station.
At the crossroads, Shen Heng looked at Xiao Xiangtong and said:
"I think spreading the sound waves will be enough to lure the Dragon Armor Beast over, so you don't need to lure it over yourself, right?"
"The place where the Dragon Armor Beast is staying is quite a distance from the subway station, so it's safer for me to go and lure it away." Xiao Xiangtong shook her head.
Seeing this, Shen Heng didn't stop him too much, only reminding him, "Be careful."
Xiao Xiangtong nodded.
After the two parted ways, Shen Heng spent a few more minutes walking to the entrance of a subway station.
He skillfully cut some branches from the roadside and then set off downhill with torches along the way.
Upon arriving inside the tunnel, Shen Heng skillfully completed the process of digging a pit and lighting it with fire, then stood still and waited.
A few minutes later, at the appointed time, light footsteps and heavy clanging sounds rang in his ears one after the other.
Shen Heng remained motionless, waiting until a very slight tremor came from the ground above his head, at which point he raised his long sword.
"Clang--!"
Metal clashing.
Invisible sound waves began to overlap inside the tunnel.
tread!
Xiao Xiangtong touched the ground with her toes and suddenly darted forward.
A moment later, a huge shadow followed closely behind and stepped onto the ground she had just trod.
A man and a beast swept across the street like Flitting Shadow.
Soon, the entrance to the subway station came into Xiao Xiangtong's view.
Without hesitation, she rushed straight into the subway station.
Almost exactly a few seconds after she rushed in, a loud 'bang' came from behind her.
Xiao Xiangtong didn't move her feet, but glanced back.
Metal Distortion, glass shattered, and the Dragon Armor Beast deformed the subway entrance.
She didn't pay much attention and turned to continue running in the direction of the torch.
She soon arrived at the location of the tunnel.
One side of the tunnel was pitch black, while the other side was illuminated by a faint light.
Without hesitation, Xiao Xiangtong turned and ran quickly toward the side with the light.
The clanging sound kept echoing behind us.
The Dragon Armor Beast chased after them.
The tunnel was quiet, except for the sound of two footsteps.
The tunnel was very noisy, so noisy that the only sound could be the footsteps of the Dragon Armor Beast.
Xiao Xiangtong continued walking along the tunnel until finally, the light seemed to end, and a figure appeared ahead of it.
Around him, the air seemed to become tangible, Distortion and rippling.
"Come here!" the figure said.
Without hesitation, Xiao Xiangtong ran over as the figure had instructed.
As if to welcome her arrival, the Distortion air around that figure parted to make way.
The two passed each other by.
Shen Heng took a deep breath.
He gazed at the Dragon Armor Beast that filled most of the tunnel, and slowly raised the long sword in his hand.
Buzz--
One side of the long sword.
The previously restless sound waves seemed to have found an outlet, rushing straight towards the Dragon Armor Beast.
"Buzz!"
The sonic wave collided with the Dragon Armor Beast.
The Dragon Armor Beast froze abruptly, and the twelve serrated bone plates on its back also came to a standstill.
In the next instant, Xiao Xiangtong bypassed Shen Heng and charged straight towards the Dragon Armor Beast.
"I will try my best to minimize the impact of the sound waves on you, but you still need to remember to protect yourself with your Origin Power," Shen Heng reminded him.
Xiao Xiangtong did not respond, but she did as Shen Heng instructed.
The longsword tilted slightly in her hand, and wisps of blue light wrapped around it.
She was like a blue comet, plunging straight into the Distortion air.
The next moment, her body began to tremble slightly, and a slight discomfort emanated from her body.
"Even though I protected myself with my Origin Power beforehand, I was still affected to this extent?"
Xiao Xiangtong glanced at her trembling arms.
She raised her eyes, gazing at the Dragon Armor Beast so close at hand, and raised her longsword, which gleamed with a blue light.
" Empty Cicada!"
The sword light pierced the sky like a crescent moon, and three cyan arcs almost simultaneously cut into the gap between the Dragon Armor Beast plates.
With a single slash, the serrated bone plates curled up slightly, revealing dark red scales beneath;
As the two swords fell, a viscous, purplish-black fluid spurted out from the folds of scales beneath the bone plates;
The third sword strike was aimed directly at the already torn scales...
"Roar--"
The Dragon Armor Beast roared loudly.
The pain brought it back from its reverie.
Although it was still somewhat disoriented, its body had already begun to react instinctively.
With a 'click' sound, the twelve serrated bone plates suddenly contracted, forcefully blocking Xiao Xiangtong's third sword.
The green awns rubbed against the bone plates, sparking dazzling flashes of light.
Xiao Xiangtong's hand went numb, and his sword strike was forced to pause.
"Retreat!"
A sharp shout pierced through the sound waves and reached Xiao Xiangtong's ears.
Without hesitation, she forcefully drew the sword, her toes barely touching the ground as she moved with explosive speed...
Swish--
The long tail covered in iron armor swept past Xiao Xiangtong's eyes.
Xiao Xiangtong took a light breath, tapped her toes on the ground, and charged towards the Dragon Armor Beast again.
The two sides engaged in a chaotic battle amidst the sonic waves.
Because its spirit has not fully recovered, the Dragon Armor Beast's movements are still relatively clumsy and unresponsive.
However, the bone armor covering its entire body meant that even though Xiao Xiangtong repeatedly slashed at it, it wouldn't be greatly affected.
Time marched forward little by little amidst the battle.
The Dragon Armor's movements became increasingly agile and faster during the battle.
"Clang--"
The Dragon Armor Beast raised its claw to block a sword strike, and the vertical pupil in its ferocious dragon head rolled back.
Two figures, one near and one far, were reflected in the scarlet pupils.
It has adapted to the surrounding Sound Wave Attack...
