"The other two have also come looking for us," Shen Heng said, looking at Le Gu Nan.
Le Gu Nan glanced in the direction Shen Heng Gang was looking, then looked away.
"Then we..."
"We need to change our plans and try to kill the Firmament Breath Beast here."
Shen Heng spoke calmly.
"Otherwise, when the two sides meet, there will be no way out, and the situation will only get worse."
Upon hearing this, Le Gu Nan looked up at the Firmament Breath Beast in the sky, "But isn't it precisely because we can't kill the Firmament Breath Beast that we've been chasing it?"
"I know, but now we can only try." Shen Heng also looked up at the Firmament Breath Beast.
"If we succeed, we'll kill the Firmament Breath Beast, take the loot, and leave."
"If we fail, all we'll do is alert the Firmament Breath Beast, and then we'll be back to being the Firmament Breath Beast following behind it, ultimately fighting with others for its life."
Upon hearing this Le Gu Nan nodded slightly and asked, "How do I try?"
She knew that since Shen Heng had said that, he must already have a general plan.
Shen Heng withdrew his gaze and said:
"I'll imitate the sounds of other Calamity Beast to lure the Firmament Breath Beast later."
"Based on the previous behavior of the Firmament Breath Beast, it won't come down directly, but will descend to observe whether the prey that's making noise is suitable."
"And we should take advantage of this time to attack it."
"But remember, even if the Firmament Breath Beast descends in altitude, it will still be difficult for us to kill it with a single blow."
"Therefore, don't focus on killing it directly, but rather on its membrane wings."
"Just destroy its membrane wings so it can't fly and crashes down, understand?"
After listening and thinking for a moment, Le Gu Nan nodded seriously.
"Okay, I understand."
"Alright, in that case..."
Shen Heng turned his gaze back to the Firmament Breath Beast.
"There's no time to lose, let's get started."
Le Gu Nan nodded silently.
The two figures suddenly stopped under a tree.
Then, Shen Heng opened his mouth and imitated the sound of a Calamity Beast that he had heard with his own ears three days ago.
Invisible sound waves spread rapidly through the sky.
In the air.
The Firmament Breath Beast, which had been flapping its wings and flying aimlessly in the sky, suddenly stopped.
A low, short breath sounded beside its ear.
"Hah--! Hah--!"
The voice trembled slightly, as if the beast that spoke it was facing some kind of threat and was trying to warn the other party not to act rashly.
The Firmament Breath Beast lowered its head to its body, its gaze following the direction from which the sound came.
There, there stood rows of trees.
The Firmament Breath Beast didn't think much of it.
The two beasts fought.
It has encountered this situation at least eight hundred times, if not a thousand.
With a flap of its wings.
The Firmament Breath Beast's figure spun in the air for a moment, then flew straight towards the direction from which the sound came.
Under the shade of a tree.
Shen Heng glanced at the approaching Firmament Breath Beast and whispered a reminder to Le Gu Nan:
"When I call 'attack' later, then you attack. Remember, attack the Firmament Breath Beast's membrane wings."
"Hmm." Le Gu Nan nodded slightly from the side.
Shen Heng glanced at Le Gu Nan, then his gaze returned to the Firmament Breath Beast.
He had drawn his longsword without anyone noticing, and it began to tremble silently...
Beside him, Le Gu Nan also began to condense cones carrying gunpowder.
Before long, the Firmament Breath Beast flew to a position near the two of them.
It flapped its wings and circled in the air, seemingly trying to find out who the beast that made the sound was.
However, the tree canopy here is quite dense, and the thick foliage severely obstructs the Firmament Breath Beast's vision.
As a result, the Firmament Breath Beast began to descend rapidly.
2100 meters, 2000 meters, 1800 meters, 1500 meters, 1000 meters...
The Firmament Breath Beast did not descend further, but instead hovered in mid-air, its eyes searching through the forest.
"Aren't you coming down...?" Le Gu Nan glanced at the Firmament Breath Beast flying through the gaps in the branches and leaves, then turned to look at Shen Heng.
She opened her mouth, about to ask whether they should attack directly, but her gaze lingered on the young man's face.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the young man's face, his expression calm yet focused.
He calmly and attentively observed the movements of the Firmament Breath Beast.
Le Gu Nan gently withdrew her gaze, deciding it was best not to interfere with the other party's decision.
"Hah--! Hah--!"
The strange cries of the Calamity Beast reached the ears of the Firmament Breath Beast once again.
It flapped its wings and stared down, confirming that the sound was indeed coming from below.
After hesitating for a moment, the altitude decreased again.
900 meters, 800 meters, 700 meters...
Shen Heng silently watched the Firmament Breath Beast descend, the longsword in his hand trembling more and more violently.
600 meters, 500 meters, 4...
"(yǎn)--"
The Firmament Breath Beast let out a strange cry.
It didn't go any further; it saw it.
He saw two figures staring intently at him from under the tree canopy.
Although it didn't have time to assess the threat posed by the other party, its years of experience as a beast led it to immediately elevate its own position, but...
Too late!
The young man under the tree canopy suddenly stepped forward.
The long sword came slashing in a feint.
"Buzz--"
The blade trembled.
The sound waves shot out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
The next moment.
The leaves through which the sound waves first passed began to Distortion, deform, and...
Tremors!
A dense rustling sound echoed wildly through the treetops.
Countless leaves were shaken straight up and floated upwards with the sound waves.
Then, accompanied by the forward movement of the sound waves.
The light Distortion in mid-air, forming a faint, transparent ripple, like a phantom in the midsummer heat.
The pupils of the Firmament Breath Beast contracted continuously.
It saw the attack and tried to dodge it, but it couldn't.
That's incredibly fast!
Its wings had barely flapped twice, and its body hadn't even risen high enough, when the Distortion beam of light was already upon it.
"Buzz--"
Sound wave vibration.
There was no blood splattering, no flesh flying everywhere.
The Firmament Breath Beast's figure froze in mid-air, its pupils suddenly dilating.
The pale blue veins briefly lit up beneath its skin before quickly going out.
It stopped moving abruptly, like a machine whose power source had been unplugged.
The membrane wings drooped limply, and the massive body began to fall.
"Now!" A low shout suddenly rang out from under the tree canopy.
Then, a short-haired girl appeared in the gap between the tree canopy.
She raised her hand, and a cone-shaped arrow hovered steadily in front of her palm, spinning continuously.
"Boom--"
An explosion was heard.
The arrow instantly transformed into a blinding silver light, Rend the Sky and piercing straight towards the falling body of the Firmament Breath Beast!
One second, two seconds...
The arrow was about to arrive, but the Firmament Breath Beast also managed to wake up.
If it were at close range, the sonic shock would have been enough to sever its wires for several seconds, causing it to die while unconscious.
However, at a distance of 500 meters, the sound waves attenuate too much; this is already the limit.
Seeing the arrow so close at hand, the Firmament Breath Beast shifted its body, trying to dodge the attack.
but...
