"Yip!"
Bi Fang let out a shrill cry as its rotating body suddenly stopped.
The flames surrounding its body were now "flickering out," and its form had become somewhat transparent.
The Fire Feather Meteor was over.
Li Yu raised his hand and dismissed Bi Fang.
Feeling the little soul power remaining in his body, he chose not to release Bi Fang again.
"Next, let's take a look at your abilities."
Li Yu gaze fell on the Hook Snake.
Having already been coiled outside the water bubble created by Ying Yu, the Hook Snake seemed to sense something. Its previously vigilant head, which had been lying flat, instantly lifted.
On its sides, hundreds of sharp spines secreted a special sticky fluid.
Surprisingly, the sticky liquid, as it fell, instantly dissipated, transforming into a thick, light purple mist that began to spread out in all directions.
In just a short while, the clear view outside the water bubble was once again obscured.
However, this time, it was because of the Hook Snake.
Gradually, as the secretion of the sticky liquid increased, the mist grew thicker.
What was once light purple now turned into deep purple.
And within this mist, the Hook Snake had disappeared!
If not for Li Yu having absolute control over the Hook Snake, and being able to share its vision, it would have been very difficult to find the snake.
Even with the enhanced mental and visual abilities after consuming Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, he could only roughly determine the direction of the Hook Snake but couldn't directly pinpoint its location.
At this moment.
The countless vines, which had retreated under Bi Fang Fire Feather Meteor, began to stir again.
This time, the movements of the vine soul beast seemed much more "rough" than before.
It was evident that it had been completely enraged!
But this also gave Li Yu an opportunity!
One vine after another boldly pierced through the purple mist, seemingly unafraid that the mist could have any impact on them.
However.
As soon as those vines entered the purple mist, a "sizzling" sound rang out!
The purple mist surrounding the vines instantly solidified, as if it were encountering condensation nuclei.
It immediately reformed into the sticky liquid secreted by the Hook Snake at the start!
This sticky liquid not only carried the Hook Snake deadly venom but also had strong corrosive properties!
At this moment.
The sticky liquid, like morning dew, began to flow down the vines.
Wherever it passed, green smoke rose!
The sizzling sound continued, and the vine soul beast seemed to feel the pain.
The vines, which had been aimed at the center of the water bubble, began to stir frantically.
They forcefully struck the ground as if trying to wipe the sticky liquid off their surfaces.
But the more they did so, the more sticky liquid adhered to the vines from the "condensation nuclei" within the purple mist.
What was even more troublesome was that.
When the vine soul beast realized that striking the ground wasn't helping and would only cause more sticky liquid to attach to the vines, it tried to sever its vines to escape.
But it soon realized in despair that the sticky liquid clinging to the vines was now flowing down towards its very body.
"I didn't expect this to work so well!"
Li Yu was clearly observing everything.
He was somewhat pleasantly surprised that the Hook Snake abilities had this unexpected effect, which he had not anticipated.
In his original plan.
This vine soul beast, being a plant-type soul beast, would undoubtedly be most vulnerable to his Bi Fang, as it was the most suited ability to counter and cause damage.
Thus, after seeing that Bi Fang had exhausted all its efforts without causing significant harm to the vine soul beast, he had summoned the Hook Snake.
But this time, the Hook Snake action exceeded his expectations.
If before he was merely showing off, now, he truly had confidence in his ability to fight the vine soul beast.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, startling even Li Yu.
Then, sharing the Hook Snake vision, he saw the vines, which had been swaying and repeatedly striking the ground, suddenly explode at the same time!
Countless broken vines, carrying the Hook Snake sticky liquid and the green sap from their own bodies, scattered all around, causing the thick purple mist to gradually dissipate!
In an instant.
The world outside the water bubble seemed to turn into a biochemical battlefield!
A sea of green sap and purple sticky liquid lay scattered on the ground, creating a gruesome sight!
"Whew!
At the same time.
Ying Yu, who had been guarding Li Yu side, suddenly sounded an alarm.
Li Yu was startled and immediately sensed danger approaching.
The next moment.
Whoosh!
A vine suddenly shot up from the ground.
At the tip of the vine was a green crystal, unlike any other vine.
That crystal was sharp beyond measure, and using this crystal, the vine pierced directly into the huge water bubble!
The water bubble exploded.
Fortunately, Li Yu, having been warned by Ying Yu in time, immediately reached out and pulled Dugu Yan away.
Otherwise, Dugu Yan might have already been impaled by that vine!
Because the raised tip of that vine had been exactly where Dugu Yan was!
Even though Dugu Yan couldn't contribute much in the attack, she had kept her Martial Soul active, trying to avoid becoming a burden to Li Yu.
But even so, under the attack of this vine soul beast, which had reached the ten-thousand-year level, her defenses were of little use.
"Hoo~"
Dugu Yan tightly gripped the corner of Li Yu clothes, panting heavily.
She fearfully watched the vine, resembling a long snake, with its green crystal "staring" at her and Li Yu, her heart full of lingering fear.
She had no doubt that if Li Yu hadn't reacted so quickly, she might have already met her great-grandmother before Dugu Bo.
"Whew!"
Ying Yu immediately spit out two water bubbles, which landed on Li Yu and Dugu Yan.
As soon as the bubbles touched their bodies, they exploded.
A faint water element membrane formed on the surface of their bodies, emitting a faint glow, creating a special protective shield.
Feeling the water element membrane on the surface of his body, Li Yu eyes flashed with surprise.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that his soul power recovery speed had significantly increased!
This water element membrane actually had the effect of accelerating soul power recovery!
"Looks like I need to take the time to better familiarize myself with their abilities!"
Li Yu muttered to himself.
Although Bi Fang and Ying Yu were in sync with him, they executed his thoughts!
However, their specific abilities weren't detailed like on his system panel.
After all.
These soul beasts, though agile, didn't have their own souls. They were merely condensed from Li Yu elemental power.
All their actions were led by Li Yu.
And the abilities that Bi Fang and Ying Yu had used were discovered and utilized by Li Yu after a deeper level of control!
That being said, their familiarity with their abilities wasn't enough yet.
It was only thanks to Li Yu quick thinking that they were able to entangle with the vine soul beast so far!
At this moment, Li Yu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed like a terrifying presence was watching him!
