"Whoosh--"
Several more conical arrows were fired.
Two of them broke through the tentacles' defenses and slammed into Shadow Erosion's head.
With a loud 'boom,' two small craters were blasted into Shadow Erosion's head, but they were quickly filled in by flowing black liquid.
Le Gu Nan hesitated for a moment, then lowered his hand and looked at Shen Heng and the captain.
The two seemed to have stalled their progress.
As the distance between the two closed, Shadow Erosion's movements became increasingly frantic.
Seven or eight tentacles kept stabbing towards the two of them.
Often, before one attack can be completely dodged, another attack is already upon them.
On the contrary, nothing happened to them at all.
Even standing still, Shadow Erosion showed no intention of attacking them.
Even if things continue like this, they can still win.
After all, it's several against one, and Shadow Erosion's stamina can't be infinite; they can wear it down eventually.
However, this will take a long time, and if something unexpected happens along the way...
Le Gu Nan gazed at the battle in the distance, pondered for a moment, and then turned to look at Han Ling.
" Sister Ling."
"Bang!"
After firing a shot that severed one of the tentacles, Han Ling turned to look at Le Gu Nan.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you have armor-piercing rounds?" Le Gu Nan asked.
"No, after I added my ability, bullets will explode when they hit hard objects. Armor-piercing bullets are no different from ordinary bullets to me," Han Ling replied.
"Then... could we do it like this?" Le Gu Nan said softly.
"Let's separate the materials first."
"Then, Sister Ling, you can attach your abilities to one of the components beforehand."
"Then I'll assemble them into an armor-piercing projectile."
"In this way, as long as the hardness of the bullet casing is controlled, it will explode inside the Calamity Beast's body."
"That should be enough to inflict even greater damage on that Calamity Beast."
Han Ling's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but she quickly frowned again.
"Armor-piercing bullets are made of different materials than regular bullets; they need a steel core or something similarly hard. Where are we going to find those materials now?"
"I prepared these beforehand, although not for making armor-piercing rounds." Le Gu Nan took three small metal balls from his waist.
Han Ling's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over, her gaze sweeping over the three small metal spheres.
"Hmm... it's not much, but it should be enough to make five or six bullets."
"So, is this idea feasible?" Le Gu Nan asked, somewhat uncertainly.
"Of course!" Han Ling replied immediately.
After saying that, she looked at Le Gu Nan, seemed to realize something, and smiled:
" Gu Nan, you need to be more confident. It's okay if you make a mistake!"
Le Gu Nan's lips parted slightly, and in the end, she nodded without saying anything.
Han Ling didn't insist, and instead took out a bullet from her own sniper rifle and handed it to him.
"Just make it according to this size!"
Le Gu Nan took the bullet and then handed over a small round ball.
" Sister Ling, you can just attach your abilities to this."
Han Ling nodded and touched the small ball.
As the Origin Power surged, the small metal sphere quickly turned a faint crimson.
Le Gu Nan retrieved the small sphere, and then the silver-gray thread quickly probed inside.
The small metal spheres quickly deformed and reformed.
Soon, five gleaming silver cone-shaped bullets took shape in her palm.
" Sister Ling." Le Gu Nan handed over the bullet.
"Understood!" Han Ling smiled and took the bullet.
He then skillfully reloaded and raised his gun.
Through the scope, the Shadow Erosion was frantically waving its tentacles nearly a hundred meters away.
His attention was completely focused on the two people beneath him.
Han Ling took a light breath, then...
"Bang!"
The bullet was fired.
This moment was quite ordinary, completely lacking the faint red glow that had appeared earlier.
Shadow Erosion didn't notice the unusual bullet either, but...
"Puff--"
The bullet pierced its body.
The next moment.
"Pong--"
A muffled explosion rang out.
Shadow Erosion paused, then its oval body suddenly bulged.
Although it quickly subsided, Shen Heng and Wang Hai below had already taken the opportunity to advance to within ten meters of it.
"Roar--"
An angry roar rang out.
With a wave of its tentacles, its turbid yellow eyes suddenly lifted and stared at the location where Han Ling and Le Gu Nan were.
Han Ling paid no attention, and as she aimed, another bullet was fired.
This time, Shadow Erosion was prepared; it quickly waved its tentacles to block the attack.
"Boom--"
The second armor-piercing projectile was blocked.
But then came the third, the fourth...
Shadow Erosion seemed to sense the danger and suddenly let out a piercing screech.
All the tentacles frantically retracted and waved.
"Boom!"
Several stalls were swept in half, with fish baskets, ice blocks, and weights flying everywhere.
Several explosions rang out.
The armor-piercing bullet pierced through the stone stall, but was stopped by the tentacles behind it.
To ensure that the armor-piercing projectiles would explode inside the Shadow Erosion body, these projectiles were not given much additional penetrating power during Reconstruction.
But that's enough!
In order to block these armor-piercing shells, Shadow Erosion's attack rhythm was completely disrupted.
Wang Hai leaped up again, and dense Origin Power converged towards its right arm.
"Roar--"
A roar erupted.
Shadow Erosion raised several tentacles, preparing to shield itself.
In that case, the result will at most be slightly worse than last time, since there's another human with a knife.
But even if it's not quite perfect, it's okay. Just give it some time, a little bit of time to adjust...
A faint rustling sound suddenly came from the ceiling.
Wei Leyang had already hidden himself on the upper beam at some unknown time, his hands cascading down like a waterfall of silver threads!
" The Net!"
Dozens of silver threads precisely wrapped around Shadow Erosion's six main tentacles, forcibly pulling them apart.
Shadow Erosion struggled in shock and anger, its entangled tentacles rapidly dissolving as it tried to transform into another form to block the attack.
But it was too late...
Wang Hai leaped in front of Shadow Erosion, and his right fist, accompanied by a whooshing sound, smashed towards the center of Shadow Erosion's head.
" Dragon Spear!!"
Shen Heng's longsword arrived shortly after, the triple sonic waves superimposed to their maximum effect.
" Vibrating Blade ·Mie!"
Han Ling's armor-piercing projectile, Le Gu Nan's Double Helix Armor-Piercing Cone, and Wu Cheng's Blazing Flame Impact all erupted simultaneously.
"Boom boom boom--!"
Five attacks hit almost simultaneously!
Shadow Erosion's head was dented by Wang Hai's punch, while its tentacles standing on the ground were severed by Shen Heng's blade.
Armor-piercing projectiles, armor-piercing cones, and flames all penetrated its brain.
The next moment.
"Boom--"
Shadow Erosion's head exploded with a bang.
A jet of black liquid splashed out.
Shen Heng only had time to slash away the black liquid flying towards his face, but his body was still inevitably stained with it.
In the final moments, the captain and Wei Leyang, who were closer to Shadow Erosion, were in the same situation as him.
It was stained with a pitch-black liquid.
ps:
I originally wanted to stick to one point, but after writing it I realized it was several hundred or even a thousand words long, so I thought I'd better give up.
