With the attack speed at full, Iyas kept drawing the bow and shooting arrows. Bai Jin's skills became more and more proficient, and the [Ice Arrows] she fired were like raindrops, crackling and hitting the back of the black giant crocodile.
The trap they had worked so hard to set was very successful. The giant black crocodile struggled but could not climb out of the pit.
However, the defense of this black giant crocodile was too good. No matter how Iyas's arrows hit it, and no matter how cold Bai Jin's [Ice Arrow] was, it was unable to penetrate the black scales condensed by the black giant crocodile and hit the dragon.
If you want to cause effective damage to it, you can only use armor-piercing skills.
"Iyas, [Swift Wind Point]"
Upon receiving the order, Iyas pulled the bow at a high speed. The hurricane gathered on the arrow head. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, the arrow drew a silver-white arc in the air, hitting the back of the giant black crocodile exactly and penetrating the crocodile's solid scales.
“Click—”
The slight sound of something breaking reached Iyas' ears.
With the blessing of good luck, Iyas hit the core again. This time, she didn't think she was lucky. Yang Yu said that there were multiple cores in the body of this black giant crocodile, so it was normal to hit one at random.
The giant black crocodile howled, and a large amount of black gas gushed out from the wound caused by the bow and arrow.
However, the black gas did not rush towards the black bubbles, but stayed where it was, as if waiting for something.
After losing a core, the giant black crocodile that had just shown off its might began to melt and turned into a pool of black viscous liquid, filling the deep pit dug by Yang Yu and his team.
The sticky black liquid was bubbling continuously, as if something was fighting in the liquid and it was slowly boiling.
After a while, the boiling suddenly stopped, and the black gas lingering near the viscous liquid suddenly rushed into the black liquid as if it had received some command.
The black liquid twisted and deformed, and finally turned into a tall lion, roaring majestically towards the sky.
The lion leaped out of the trap filled with weapons.
"After destroying one core, the other cores took over the body and changed its form?" Yang Yu was not surprised. "Sure enough, it won't be killed so easily by us. But this is much more interesting."
The black lion shook its long mane and looked at Yang Yu with a low growl.
Opening the panel, it was found that the HP limit of this black giant lion was lower than that of the black giant crocodile, and its overall attributes had been reduced to a certain extent.
The change in form also brought about a change in the emphasis of attributes. A large number of the black giant lion's attributes were concentrated on strength, making its other attributes not much different from Yang Yu's.
Yang Yu really likes this kind of idiot with a panel full of strength.
Tiehanhan possesses powerful destructive capabilities, but as long as you use skills, dealing with this kind of enemy is a piece of cake.
Yang Yu hooked his index finger at the black giant lion to show his contempt, and shouted:
"Come here!"
The black lion was completely enraged by Yang Yu's provocation, showing its sharp claws and rushing towards Yang Yu. Yang Yu calmly lowered his body, and his shield glowed red and sprouted spikes, using [Shield Counter] to block the black lion's claw.
As soon as the black giant lion's claws hit the shield covered with spikes, an electric current rushed into its body, and its entire arm broke and turned into black gas.
The black lion was slightly surprised and jumped away instantly, using the black energy to repair itself. However, it was not yet proficient in manipulating the black energy, and it took a long time to reshape its arm.
Yang Yu noticed this detail, smiled slightly, drew his sword and attacked the black lion.
The black lion seemed to have not expected Yang Yu's attack at all, and quickly waved its claws to defend itself.
Yang Yu took small steps and avoided the lion's attacks again and again. After several confrontations, facing the black lion whose strength completely suppressed him, Yang Yu actually gained the advantage and suppressed it.
Yias and Bai Jin stopped attacking and just looked at Yang Yu.
It wasn't them who stopped on their own, but Yang Yu who asked them to stop.
If a core corresponds to a form change, suddenly shattering the core of the current form will cause the solid black shadow to change back into a slime form, becoming a black creature of unknown attributes.
By then, facing the black creatures with balanced attributes, Yang Yu didn’t know whether he could still handle them with ease as he did now.
Yang Yu had also thought about attacking the black shadow in slime form, but the black shadow that turned into slime form had completely lost all data, like a dead object, and attacking it would most likely be a futile effort.
Therefore, Yang Yu also gave up attacking the black shadow in slime form.
The best way now is to find all the cores of this black creature in one go and destroy them while he is still able to deal with it.
The black lion's attributes are not focused on defense. In addition, the body made of black gas is more fragile than animal fur. Yang Yu easily pierced the black lion's skin.
Using [Iron Wall] and [Body of Steel] to deliberately resist the attack of the black giant lion and reduce his own blood volume to 30%, Yang Yu began to use positioning and [Sudden Killing Intent] to unscrupulously enter the body of the black giant lion.
Whenever the sword touched something hard, Yang Yu immediately retracted the sword, noted the approximate location, and continued to tease the black lion with his skills and movements.
After Yang Yu's repeated teasing, the black lion finally figured out the trick to control this body, but it was too late.
"Iyas, Bai Jin, I have mastered the locations of all the cores in this black shadow. I will use my sword to point out the locations of the cores one by one. Remember them and hit them hard!"
After saying that, Yang Yu used [Sudden Killing Intent] again, his speed increased rapidly, and he moved as fast as lightning, twisting and turning around the black lion. The sharp sword blade left small holes on the black lion's body.
Yias and Bai Jin quickly aimed at the mark made by Yang Yu and poured fire.
Their sharp attacks also pierced the black lion's skin and pierced the five cores in his body.
The five cores shattered instantly, and the huge black lion fell to the ground. The black gas that made up its body gradually peeled off, and it rushed towards the black bubble as if it was receiving some kind of call.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Yu took out the canvas bag that had been prepared long ago from the system and put the black lion, which had not yet completely turned into black gas, into it.
The shrunken bag suddenly expanded. Then, as if by a special gravitational force, the black gas in the bag rushed towards the black bubbles, and a strong lifting force was generated.
It works, this method works.
Mumbling silently in his mind, Yang Yu took out the newly made raft and a piece of cloth from the system. Yang Yu tied ropes to the four corners of the cloth and tied the other ends of the ropes to the four corners of the raft.
Yang Yu stuffed the canvas balloon into the raft, and the whole raft actually flew up lightly.
