The arrow shot by Sekend hit Xiaolan's belly, the arrowhead exploded with a boom, then nothing happened.
Xiaolan continued to stride forward as if nothing had happened.
Sekend couldn't even be surprised that her arrow didn't work, because she was immediately pulled off balance by Sewense.
Two blobs of purple venom fell from the sky, one was dodged by Fevers himself, the other landed on the heel of Sekend's shoe.
A sizzling sound was heard, and small plumes of smoke rose from both the ground and the heel of Sekend's shoe.
"Don't move!" Sewense pointed the bell of the clarinet at Sekend's foot, pressed three specific keys, and blew hard.
The strong airflow blew most of the venom away, leaving a shallow corrosion mark on Sekend's combat boots: "It can even corrode our armor! It's not good to have this stuff stick on you."
Fevers raised his firearm, quickly loaded two magic bullets, and fired them in one go: "Taste my special armor-piercing bullets!"
The two special bullets hit Xiaolan's forehead and chest respectively.
A fingernail-sized chip broke off from Xiaolan's forehead, and a shallow dent was left on the chest.
"This guy... isn't it absurdly hard?" Fevers remembered his armor-piercing bullet could penetrate a full-armor knight completely.
"Here it comes again!" Sewense raised his clarinet and blew two blobs of venom away.
Sekend couldn't hold back, she pulled out an armor-piercing arrow from the quiver and shot it out.
The arrowhead had a spiral pattern, rotating in the air at an already fast speed. Upon flying out, the tail sprayed flames, providing additional thrust.
Xiaolan raised a hand to block the bullet just now, however, the bullet had already hit, and the armor-piercing arrow ended up stuck in the palm.
Blocking arrows, just block them then, since it was already blocked, Xiaolan didn't care. With a grasp of the hand, the arrow was crushed and discarded.
"Focus on finding someone!" Foster saw that the people upstairs couldn't handle this big guy, so he could only call on the brothers beside him to help.
He determined that dealing with this big guy would undoubtedly be more effective with Selude's hammer and Frus's large axe.
The five of them rushed out, Foster and Selude attacked Xiaolan, while Sekend and Frus charged towards Xiaohong further back.
Aites swung his great saber, slashing at two Magic Swamp Frogs.
The two Magic Swamp Frogs lightly jumped to dodge the saber's attack, then spat at Aites.
It was only then that Sekend and Frus realized that it wasn't the purple-grey bulky figure spitting venom, but these two extremely ugly toads.
The two decisively raised guns and bows, shooting at the Magic Swamp Frogs.
One Magic Swamp Frog was hit by a bullet, the other by an arrow, leaving holes in their bellies, and the pain hastened them to spit venom at Aites.
Aites dodged awkwardly, but his body was not exactly agile, and left shoulder plate and right arm armor got splashed with blobs of venom.
"Damned stinking toads!" The corroded appearance of his armor made Aites feel heartbroken.
Fuming with rage, he charged straight at one Magic Swamp Frog, abandoning escape, extending his great saber wildly, and chopped down hard.
The Magic Swamp Frog jumped aside, but was caught by the firearms soldier and archer from the rooftop, who seized the opportunity. A bullet and an arrow exploded on its body.
It could only spit out the last mouthful of venom and quietly disappear.
The other Magic Swamp Frog suffered the same fate, after a few rounds of entangled combat under the coordinated attack of three, it was sent back to the canyon.
Aites's left shoulder plate was basically scrapped, left combat boot was damaged in a section, chest plate and arm armor suffered slight damages.
From the rooftop, Sewense cursed, "That idiot, why didn't he use the sonic magic on the shoulder plate?"
"Probably got carried away with the fighting and forgot about it." Fevers understood Aites. This guy's head was full of muscles and great saber, giving him magic armor was a waste.
While they dealt with the Magic Swamp Frogs, the other four were locked in a bitter struggle.
Selude swung the large hammer directly at Xiaolan's chest; maybe because he didn't shout a slogan, Xiaolan didn't move an inch, slamming a fist towards Selude.
At the sight of this powerful punch, Foster shoved the unresponsive Selude away, raised the small round shield, lit up the defense magic array on the shield, and also activated the small defense magic array on the helmet.
But when Xiaolan's fist came down, two layers of magic arrays shattered successively, and the shield released a muffled groaning under the strain.
Foster's expression changed, hurriedly activating the power amplification magic on the arm armor. But even so, his strength still couldn't stop the round shield from retreating.
All of a sudden, with a bang, the round shield bounced off Foster's fist back against his chest, making a dull sound.
Foster's feet ploughed two grooves into the ground but still couldn't halt the retreat.
His body leaned backward, skidding across the ground, flung backwards with a bang, slammed the ajar fortress door, and the helmet clattered to the ground.
Selude couldn't believe how strong this punch was, couldn't help but look back, "Boss!"
Foster couldn't hold back, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, covering his chest, shouted, "Watch the enemy!"
Selude already heard the whizz of wind at the back of his head, embraced the large hammer, rolled, awkwardly dodging Xiaolan's punch.
The ground where Xiaolan's punch hit was cratered, deep cracks spreading around, reaching near Selude.
"Damn it!" Selude climbed up, the arm armor emitted blue light, "Mountain Rock Shattering!"
The large hammer glowed red as well, rushed forth with a whoosh towards Xiaolan.
In Xiaolan's dictionary, avoidance seemed non-existent. In the face of an obviously strong move, still choosing to clash fists.
The rumbling explosion echoed from Xiaolan's fist, dust rose, shrouding the hammer and massive fist.
A crack appeared on Xiaolan's middle finger, two knuckles crashed to the ground like regular giant rocks.
Purple glow emerged from the fracture, inch by inch slowly regrowing the lost knuckles.
Selude, very confident in his strength, and had expectations for the destructive power of his ultimate move.
Yet never expected that his full-force strike only shattered half a finger.
Moreover, both hands were numb from the shock, barely able to grip the hammer handle.
He shook his hand, stared at the towering Void Engraved Golem's figure, "What kind of monster is this?"
Foster, enduring his injury, retrieved his sword and shield, put on his helmet again, dragging heavy steps back towards the battlefield.
Just reaching the entrance, a black shadow flew past him, through the drawing room, toppling all furniture along the way, with a thud hit the rear wall.
"That was..." Foster only saw the severely broken armor of the figure, didn't see the face, but noticed the large axe broken in two on the ground, "Frus? Could it be..."
Could that four-legged creature prove tougher than that humanoid stone monster?
