Tremors

Clang! Clang!...

The blue light of the sword flashed continuously inside the tunnel.

The Dragon Armor Beast suddenly took a few steps back, trying to injure the human behind it by crashing into it with its body.

But there was no obvious impact on the body; instead, the feeling of the sword blade cutting into the bone armor came back very quickly.

"Roar--"

The Dragon Armor Beast growled, tilted its head, and then slammed into the left tunnel wall.

Bang--

A tremendous crash echoed through the tunnel.

After ramming into the tunnel wall several more times, the Dragon Armor Beast suddenly stopped moving.

It stared at the tunnel wall, which had many cracks, for a moment, and then raised its claws to stab at the tunnel wall.

The claws pierced the wall with little effort, and a clump of dirt was pulled out along with them.

Shen Heng's gaze narrowed slightly as he watched the Calamity Beast digging in the ground while swaying its body to fend off attacks.

They don't have much time left.

Xiao Xiangtong also noticed this.

She took a deep breath and looked at the bone armor on the Dragon Armor Beast's thigh.

There were white marks there, one of which was quite conspicuous, a mark where the bone plate had been cut open.

She changed her tactics, no longer attacking recklessly, but instead constantly adjusting her posture to avoid the Dragon Armor Beast's constantly swinging tail.

Throughout this process, her gaze remained fixed on that mark.

In just over ten seconds, the Dragon Armor Beast dug a pit about half a meter deep.

But that's not enough, because its body is six or seven meters long.

If we take into account the tunnel's width of four or five meters, he would have had to dig a pit at least two meters wide, and that was after squeezing through.

If you want to get here more easily, you'll have to dig at least three or four meters.

But even three or four meters is not a problem for the Dragon Armor Beast, which can dig a half-meter deep pit in a dozen seconds.

With the clanging sound of sand and gravel hitting the rails, a large crater soon appeared inside the tunnel.

Without hesitation, the Dragon Armor Beast quickly extended its entire upper body inside, preparing to turn around.

It was at this moment that Xiao Xiangtong started moving again.

She moved with the grace of a swallow, dodging the tail that was whipping towards her, and then reached the thigh of the Dragon Armor Beast.

The longsword, glowing with a bluish light, was raised and swung.

"Empty Cicada · Flitting Shadow!"

A soft voice rang out.

Qingfeng struck the Dragon Armor Beast's thigh at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, crashing into the bone plates that had already been cleaved open in many places.

Clang--

The blade paused for a moment on the bone armor.

Then, with a 'whoosh' sound, it slashed down heavily.

"Roar--"

The Dragon Armor Beast roared in pain, then suddenly turned around and swung its sharp claws.

Xiao Xiangtong nimbly retreated, dodging the Dragon Armor Beast's attack.

After the attack, a long-awaited, brief silence fell over the tunnel.

Shen Heng and Xiao Xiangtong did not rush forward immediately. They needed to assess the impact of the injuries Xiao Xiangtong had just inflicted on the Dragon Armor Beast based on its subsequent movements.

The Dragon Armor Beast did not act immediately. It slowly turned its head and looked at its right hind thigh.

There, bright red blood flowed freely.

The Dragon Armor Beast slowly turned its head, its scarlet pupils reflecting two figures in the distance.

It lowered its head, and its ferocious dragon head slowly split open.

"Roar____"

A deep, resonant roar echoed through the tunnel.

It arched its back, completely exposing its spine.

A ferocious and terrifying aura emanated from the top predator, spreading outwards.

Shen Heng took a deep breath, suppressing the chill that instinctively rose within him, and whispered to Xiao Xiangtong:

"We're ready. What follows may be a life-or-death battle."

Xiao Xiangtong nodded without replying.

Thump!

The Dragon Armor Beast suddenly pushed off the ground, its figure charging towards the two like a cannonball.

Shen Heng glanced at the Dragon Armor Beast's injured hind leg.

"It can't exert force, but it can be used for support. If you can't kill it directly, you can try slashing at its other legs."

Xiao Xiangtong nodded, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and fearlessly charged towards the Dragon Armor Beast.

Shen Heng suddenly raised his sword, and the sound waves that had been echoing in the tunnel were the first to be directed at the Dragon Armor Beast.

Clang--

The clang of metal rang out.

Time passed slowly.

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Shen Heng's forehead.

In front of him, the Dragon Armor Beast had several more wounds inflicted by Xiao Xiangtong.

On the contrary, Xiao Xiangtong was not harmed by the Dragon Armor Beast.

Despite this, Shen Heng's brows furrowed.

Although Xiao Xiangtong was not attacked by the Dragon Armor Beast, a trace of blood flowed down her ear and nose.

The effects of the sound waves on her began to appear...

Shen Heng glanced at the Dragon Armor Beast.

Although both were in the area enveloped by sound waves and both used their Origin Power to protect their bodies, Xiao Xiangtong was still the one whose sound waves were deliberately avoided by Shen Heng.

However, with its Late Third Tier cultivation and the fact that the Calamity Beast possessed physical attributes far superior to those of humans, the Dragon Armor Beast was currently performing significantly better than Xiao Xiangtong.

It seemed to intend to take advantage of its physical strength to deal with Xiao Xiangtong first, and then deal with Shen Heng.

Shen Heng took a deep breath, constantly thinking about whether there was any way.

At one point, Shen Heng paused, looking up at the shattered tunnel wall above, which had just been struck by the Dragon Armor Beast.

"I have a plan, but it requires dissipating the sound waves. Can you hold that position for a minute?"

The sound pierced Xiao Xiangtong's ears.

She shook her somewhat dazed head. Although she didn't understand what Shen Heng's plan was, she still chose to believe Shen Heng and nodded.

The next moment, the 'humming' sound surrounding her and the Dragon Armor Beast suddenly weakened.

Xiao Xiangtong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling her mind clear up as the sound subsided.

But the next moment, the claws that were swinging towards them suddenly accelerated.

Xiao Xiangtong leaned back sharply, narrowly avoiding the attack.

The two became entangled again.

At the same time, Shen Heng quickly walked to the wall.

He pressed his palm against the damp tunnel wall, then tapped it with his finger.

clatter--

A subtle tremor traveled back through Shen Heng's palm.

Shen Heng did not hesitate and raised his finger again.

Tap, tap tap...

He squatted on the ground, tapping his fingers against the wall repeatedly, like a tuner patiently adjusting a violin.

At one moment, Shen Heng suddenly opened his eyes.

His palm trembled slightly, and the wall gave a clear response.

Without hesitation, Shen Heng swiftly raised his knife.

Clang--

The blade struck the railway track beside it with a heavy thud.

The resulting sound waves were manipulated by Shen Heng to quickly penetrate the tunnel wall.

Then came the second, the third...

The tunnel walls trembled almost imperceptibly...
