Chapter 1259 Tooth Extraction
Constructed from a pile of special ores, the stone beast emitted an eerie glow. These special ores were the source of its power, and the group's study of them had disturbed it. The stone beast opened its gaping maw and spewed out streams of scorching flames at the team members. The team reacted swiftly; some raised shields to block the flames, while others used magic to summon a water curtain to extinguish them. Simultaneously, other team members rushed towards the stone beast, attempting to attack it with sharp blades. However, the stone beast's body was as hard as iron, and ordinary attacks were ineffective. Just when everyone was at a loss, one team member discovered that the stone beast's eyes were its weak point. He concentrated his mind, using the remaining light from the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud Pearl to condense a sharp arrow of light, and shot it towards the stone beast's eyes. The arrow struck its target accurately, and the stone beast roared in pain, its body beginning to sway. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the team members launched a coordinated attack, finally defeating the stone beast. After falling, the stone beast transformed into a pile of special ores. The team collected the ores, realizing that this battle had deepened their understanding of special ores and given them more confidence to face future crises. Just as the team was preparing to return with the ores, the ground suddenly trembled violently. A horde of small stone beasts composed of special ores surged in from afar, moving with incredible speed and instantly surrounding the team. While these beasts were not as powerful as the previous ones, their sheer number posed a serious challenge, and the team was once again locked in fierce combat. Some team members were injured in close combat, their conditions becoming critical. At this moment, a team member who had previously used the residual light from the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud Pearl to condense light arrows had a flash of inspiration. Remembering that the power of these stone beasts originated from special ores, he suggested concentrating the collected ores and using the special reactions between them to create a powerful energy wave. The team acted swiftly, and with their combined efforts, the energy wave formed, disrupting the small beasts and slowing their movements. Seizing this opportunity, the team launched another fierce attack, ultimately successfully repelling the horde of small beasts. Having weathered this ordeal, the team, carrying the ore and dragging their weary bodies, embarked on their return journey, knowing that more unknown challenges lay ahead. On their way back, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and thunder rumbled. A colossal figure slowly descended from the clouds—the mother of the stone beasts, several times larger than before, emanating an even more terrifying aura. It turned out that the distress signal from the smaller beasts had attracted it. The mother roared furiously, her massive feet slamming heavily into the ground, instantly creating deep, bottomless chasms. The team members, still recovering from a fierce battle, felt despair facing this powerful mother. But they didn't give up; they rallied and threw themselves back into the fight. The team member who had devised the idea of using the ore to create energy fluctuations had a new idea. He directed the team to disperse the collected ore around the mother, forming a massive energy array. As the mother approached, the energy array activated, and powerful energy fluctuations impacted her, slowing her movements. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the team launched a final attack. Finally, with everyone's combined efforts, the mother structure collapsed, turning into even more special ores. Carrying these precious ores, the team overcame numerous hardships and dangers, finally returning safely to the base.
