Xue Feng released ice crystals, drawing the monster beast's gaze to provide cover for Xiao Xiao.
"Now's the time!" Xiao Xiao seized the moment, uttering a low shout in her heart as she swung her longsword straight at the monster beast's abdomen.
But just as the longsword was about to pierce the monster beast, it suddenly turned, its giant tail sweeping towards Xiao Xiao like lightning.
Unable to completely evade, Xiao Xiao was struck hard by the tail, her body instantly flung, heavily hitting the cave's rock wall.
"Xiao Xiao!" Xue Feng exclaimed in surprise, quickly swimming to her side to help stabilize her stance.
"I'm fine; we must endure." Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth, standing up despite her pain.
The monster beast lunged at them again, its gigantic claws aimed directly at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao swiftly chanted a spell, releasing a powerful flame magic straight at the monster beast's eyes. Flames burned in the water, forming a blazing ribbon that hit the beast's eyes.
