On the other side, not too far away the Fire Terror Plant pack let out shrill cries as the ground trembled violently. Countless flaming vines twisted and stretched out, surrounding a hunter squad.
The vines were incomparably thick, covered in sharp barbs, and even emitted a dark crimson glow that looked terrifying.
"AHH!! AHHH!!"
At that moment, two members of the hunter squad screamed in agony. Just as they were about to construct their Star Patterns, roots and flaming vines burst out from the ground, wrapping tightly around them.
In mere moments, blood splattered everywhere. The two had already lost all strength to even scream.
As the flaming vines tightened further, the two were directly burned into charred skeletons. The horrifying scene left everyone's minds completely blank.
"Group together! Don't let them pick us off one by one!"
An old man in black shouted loudly, snapping everyone back to their senses.
"Flood Burst: Rupture!"
The moment his voice fell, another commanding roar rang out. It came from a rugged middle-aged man.
The next instant, dense water surged into existence, rising upward like a massive hanging curtain as mist scattered everywhere.
Then, like a torrential flood descending from the heavens, it swept violently in all directions.
One flaming vine after another was dragged into the Flood Burst. Their flames weakened, and the vines' attacks slowed considerably.
That single strike bought enough time for the others to regroup.
"Water Shield·Guard!"
"Holy Light·Holy Shield!"
"Shield Magic Tool, Golden Shield!"
The others finally recovered from their shock and quickly completed various defensive spells instead of standing around helplessly, protecting everyone within layers of magic.
"The flaming vines are continuously tightening in. It plans to trap us here completely before killing us all. We need to break through!" a female hunter warned.
"I'll tear open a path. Prepare to cover me."
After the rugged middle-aged man spoke, the Mid-Tier spell "Contract Summoning" was completed instantly, tearing open a moon-white spatial rift.
From the Contract Gate emerged a gigantic demon with a beast's body and a serpent's tail. The aura of death and brutality surrounding it swept through the area.
The beast-serpent demon's eyes shone with savage light as it raised its terrifying giant hand and directly tore apart the flaming vines continuing their encirclement.
"Quick, break out of the encirclement! My contracted beast will clear the way!" the burly middle-aged man urged anxiously.
Hearing this, the entire hunter squad immediately cast their spells and hurriedly retreated.
A while later, after escaping the Fire Terror Plant encirclement and sprinting for some distance.
"RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE~~~~~~~~~"
Ahead of them, the mountains suddenly began trembling violently. The hunter squad had no idea what was happening, but such intense shaking could only mean that some terrifying creature had appeared.
In reality, nothing had appeared there at all. Rather than the mountains trembling, it was more accurate to say that a frozen ocean of ice was moving.
What appeared before the hunter squad was an enormous frozen region. Countless Ice Locks danced wildly while the surrounding Fire Terror Plants fled in panic.
"What a powerful mage..."
The entire hunter squad felt a chill run through their bodies. This was even more terrifying than the Fire Terror Plant pack behind them.
"Stay away from it for now," the rugged middle-aged man said.
Naturally, Fang Yu also noticed the members of the hunter squad, but he paid them no attention and simply controlled the Ice Locks to avoid them.
The reason Fang Yu had arrived here was because he had been pursuing and slaughtering the Fire Terror Plant pack all the way here. Judging from the direction they were fleeing toward, this place should contain the leader of the Fire Terror Plant tribe.
The seeds left behind after a Fire Terror Plant died were premium resources that could be sold for a very high price.
As Fang Yu continued advancing with the Ice Locks, constantly strangling the surrounding Fire Terror Plants, he finally discovered the leader of the Fire Terror Plants.
"SHAAA!!!!"
The peak Warrior-level Fire Terror Plant leader glared at Fang Yu with violent fury. Its fire vines and roots twisted madly, thrashing so violently that it seemed capable of tearing the entire mountain apart.
Countless waist-thick fire vines lashed down from the sky, stirring fierce gusts of wind. Of course, Fang Yu had no intention of dodging. The icy chains around him immediately whipped outward.
Rumbling explosions erupted as the fire vines and Ice Chains clashed repeatedly.
The battlefield echoed endlessly with deafening collisions.
In the end, Fang Yu's Ice Lock magic proved superior. The chains spread like a spiderweb, firmly binding the peak Warrior-level Fire Terror Plant.
Frigid energy surged from the Ice Lock, continuously freezing the Fire Terror Plant.
The chains constricted, frost spread, and its life force was relentlessly destroyed.
The peak Warrior-level Terror Plant resembled a goat caught by the throat of a giant crocodile, every struggle was meaningless.
Crackkk!!!
Finally, the Fire Terror Plant could no longer endure it and died.
Fang Yu was very satisfied with the power of his Ice Element magic. Once his Ice Element advanced further into the High Tier, its strength would become unimaginable.
"And just like that, it's dead?"
"Damn, what kind of monster is this?!"
The members of the hunter team could hardly believe what they had just witnessed.
The burly middle-aged man was equally shocked. The terrifying Fire Terror Plant that had been so domineering moments ago had become nourishment for someone else in such a short time. This young man's Ice magic was simply too powerful.
Fang Yu glanced briefly at the hunter team from afar before leaving. They were strangers, and there was no possibility of cooperation between the two sides.
Inside the Dazu Rock Carvings region, as large numbers of Hunter Mages poured in, the sounds of magical explosions and demon roars rang out more and more frequently.
After eliminating the Fire Terror Plant tribe, Fang Yu began searching throughout the Dazu Rock Carvings area.
One day later, on a rugged mountain path.
A sudden change occurred.
Even from far away, Fang Yu could feel an overwhelming pressure spreading through the air, vast and terrifying.
Boom! Boom! Boom..
The earth trembled violently as a towering figure appeared, rushing out from behind a mountain slope. It stood nearly ten meters tall, like a giant straight out of mythological legends.
Its pupils were pitch black, its skin bronze-colored, and its body powerfully built.
As it strode forward, fierce winds swept around it, sending sand and stones flying everywhere.
Large demons naturally created powerful disturbances when moving, much less a massive creature like this charging forward at full speed.
Fang Yu immediately felt an immense pressure. A terrifying aura rapidly expanded through the region, causing one's heart to tremble.
Commander-level?!
Boom!
It was practically like mountains collapsing and earth splitting apart. During its sprint, the ten-meter giant suddenly leapt into the air and smashed its fist downward. Carrying terrifying force behind its thousand-pound punch, the attack was simply unstoppable.
A leopard-shaped demon beast ahead was instantly reduced to minced flesh upon contact. The ground exploded with a deafening boom, leaving behind an enormous crater as countless cracks spread outward.
The reverberating sound made one's scalp go numb.
Fang Yu did not act rashly. He had no intention of confronting it.
If they fought, relying on only a single High Tier Element, he would be no match for it.
Fortunately, the giant seemed uninterested in him or perhaps it had not noticed him at all.
Only after the enormous humanoid creature gradually moved farther away did the suffocating pressure finally weaken.
"Bronze Giant…" Fang Yu muttered, deep caution appearing in his eyes.
This place was terrifying. It was territory ruled by the Bronze Giant!
Fang Yu quickly retreated. Only after putting a great distance between them did he finally let out a long breath, feeling as though a heavy burden had been lifted now that he had avoided colliding with the Bronze Giant.
After this incident, Fang Yu truly understood and personally experienced just how dangerous the Dazu Rock Carvings region was. As a result, he became far more cautious during the remainder of his journey.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
During those days, he encountered very few people, but Fang Yu became increasingly familiar with the Dazu Rock Carvings. He encountered more demons and had fought several times.
Each battle earned Fang Yu some demon remnants and materials, and through repeated combat, he became increasingly skilled in fighting demons.
As for terrifying existences like the Bronze Giant, he never encountered another one.
