The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Chapter 230

Following the direction indicated by the crystal core, they headed towards the mysterious mountain shrouded in mist. Along the way, the surroundings became increasingly bizarre. The once clear path was gradually shrouded in mist, and the ground beneath their feet became soft and damp. Every step they took seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force.

The closer we got to the peak, the thicker the clouds and mist grew, reducing our view to just a few feet in front of us. A mysterious aroma permeated the mist, wiping its way into everyone's nostrils. The scent, with its ancient, mystical allure, seemed to speak of the mountain's unknown past.

"Everyone be careful, there's something wrong with this fog, it seems to interfere with our perception." Lin said vigilantly. She tried to cast wind element magic to disperse the fog around her, but as soon as the wind element touched the fog, it disappeared without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.

Suddenly, a low roar echoed from the depths of the clouds and mist, reverberating through the valley and making everyone's eardrums buzz. Then, blurry figures loomed in the mist. They were enormous, and their movements caused waves of mist to ripple.

As the figures gradually became clearer, everyone could see they were a group of moss-covered giant stone beasts. These beasts stood several feet tall, their bodies constructed from massive piles of stone. Between the stones grew dense moss and vines, as if they had sprouted from the earth. The beasts' eyes were two enormous red crystals, gleaming eerily in the mist. Every step they took caused the ground to tremble slightly.

The giant stone beasts slowly approached the crowd. Though their pace seemed slow, each step carried a powerful sense of oppression. One of the giant stone beasts launched the first attack, waving its massive stone arms and sweeping towards the crowd. The wind pressure from its arms was like a sharp blade, slicing painfully at the crowd's cheeks.

Xu Tiancai, trident in hand, charged forward, facing the giant stone beast's attack. He channeled the power of the divine weapon into the trident, causing it to emit a rainbow of light, which shot like lightning towards the giant stone beast's arm. Sparks flew as the light made contact, but the giant stone beast's arm only trembled slightly, sustaining no significant damage, and continued to charge towards the crowd.

Seeing this, Ah Gang roared, intensifying his fighting spirit to its full potential. A blazing golden flame ignited from his battle axe. He leaped high and slashed at the stone arm of the giant stone beast. The battle axe and the stone arm collided with a loud bang. Golden flames ignited at the impact point, and a crack appeared on the stone arm of the giant stone beast. However, the surrounding moss and vines quickly began to wriggle, quickly repairing the crack.

Lin cast wind magic, creating sharp wind blades that rained down on the stone beast. The wind blades sliced ​​through the stone beast's body, shaving off some moss and stones, but for the stone beast's massive body, the damage was negligible.

The Ice Princess waved her wand and chanted an ice spell. Ice rays shot out from her wand and shot towards the stone beast's eyes. The ice rays hit the stone beast's red crystal eyes, and a thick layer of ice instantly formed on the crystals. The stone beast's vision was affected, and its movements became slow.

The mysterious figure quickly formed seals with his hands, and the forces of darkness and light swirled and merged in his palms, forming huge energy balls. He threw the energy balls at the stone beast, and they exploded on its body, creating large craters. Some of the stone inside the stone beast was blown away, but new stone soon rose from the surrounding earth to fill the gaps.

The man in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into a swarm of radiant light beasts. They charged at the stone beast, attacking its joints with sharp claws and teeth. The attacks loosened the stone beast's joints, but the stone beast stomped its foot, sending the beasts flying with a powerful jolt.

During the fierce battle with the giant stone beasts, Xu Tiancai discovered that when the giant stone beasts moved, a mysterious energy fluctuation would appear where the bottom of their bodies touched the ground. This energy fluctuation seemed to be the source of their power, continuously providing them with energy to repair their bodies and launch attacks.

"Attack the soles of their feet! There are energy fluctuations there, which must be their weakness!" Xu Tiancai shouted loudly.

After hearing Xu Tiancai's words, everyone immediately adjusted their attack strategy. Lin cast a forbidden spell of wind elemental magic, gathering all the surrounding mist and compressing it into a massive air bomb. She controlled the air bomb and rolled it towards the stone beast's feet. When the air bomb made contact with the stone beast's feet, it exploded violently. The impact of the explosion caused a noticeable crack in the stone beast's feet, and the energy fluctuations became chaotic.

Ah Gang seized the opportunity, concentrated his fighting spirit on the battle axe, and chopped hard at the crack on the bottom of the stone beast's feet. The battle axe hit the crack, splashing sparks, and the crack widened further. The energy fluctuations under the stone beast's feet became more violent, and its body began to shake.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, summoning a massive ice cone that pierced the cracks beneath the stone beast's feet. The cone pierced deeply into the cracks, freezing the surrounding energy fluctuations with the magic of ice. The stone beast's body began to show signs of instability.

The mysterious figure formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light merged in his hands into a massive black and white energy column. He pushed the energy column toward the cracks at the stone beast's feet. As it flew, the energy column continuously absorbed the surrounding free energy, growing thicker and stronger. When the energy column made contact with the cracks, it triggered a massive explosion, severely damaging the energy core at the stone beast's feet. It let out a painful roar.

The white-clad figure played his flute at top speed, the sound transforming into immense beasts of light. These beasts varied in form: a kirin ablaze with flames, a soaring dragon of light with wings spread, and a lightning-fast tiger of light. Carrying divine light, the beasts charged towards the cracks beneath the stone beast's feet, using their own strength to combat the energy remaining within. The kirin's flames scorched the energy, the dragon's claws tore at it, and the tiger's speed allowed it to move freely through the energy, repeatedly striking at key points of energy fluctuations.

Under the combined force of their attacks, the energy waves beneath the megaliths' feet were completely destroyed. Without the energy's support, their bodies began to crumble. Huge boulders fell from their bodies, and the moss and vines quickly withered. With a roar, the megaliths collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble scattered across the ground.

After a brief respite, the group continued their journey towards the misty peak. However, before they had gone far, the surrounding fog suddenly began to swirl, forming massive vortices. From within the vortexes came a sharp whistling sound, as if countless evil spirits were wailing within.

A group of bat-like monsters flew out from the vortex of mist. Their bodies were as black as ink, and their wings were covered with sharp bone spurs. Their eyes were blood-red, emitting a bloodthirsty light, and their mouths were equipped with sharp fangs, dripping with green venom.

The bat monsters pounced on the crowd, their speed as swift as streaks of black lightning. One of the bat monsters rushed towards Xu Tiancai first, its maw wide open, biting him. Xu Tiancai brandished his trident, its light acting as a barrier, blocking the bat monster's attack. The bat monster's fangs collided with the trident, sending a spray of green venom splattering.

Agang swung his battle axe and chopped at the bat monsters that were charging at him. The battle axe struck the bat monsters, cutting one in half, but more bat monsters came from all directions. They surrounded Agang and attacked him continuously. Soon, several wounds corroded by the venom appeared on Agang's body.

Lin cast wind magic, creating powerful wind tornadoes. These tornadoes ripped through the bat monsters, engulfing some and shredding them. However, the bat monsters were too numerous for the wind tornadoes to completely stop their attack.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, summoning a flock of ice birds. The birds attacked the bat monsters with their sharp beaks and claws. At the same time, she cast an ice shield around them to prevent the bat monsters from breaking through. However, the bat monsters' attacks were too fierce, and cracks appeared on the ice shield.

The mysterious figure formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light merged into balls of energy. He threw the balls at the swarm of bat monsters, and they exploded among them, killing many. But the bat monsters seemed unfazed by death, continuing their frantic charge towards the crowd.

The man in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into a swarm of radiant light beasts. They charged at the bat monsters, engaging them with their own strength. Qilin-like light beasts burned the bat monsters with flames, attempting to disperse them; light dragons tore at the bat monsters' bodies with their claws; and light tigers weaved between the bat monsters, attempting to disrupt their attack rhythm.

During the battle with the bat monster, Xu Tiancai discovered that when the bat monster was flying, there was a tiny energy node at the base of its wings. Whenever it attacked or changed its flight direction, this energy node would flash.

"Attack the energy nodes at the base of their wings!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

After hearing Xu Tiancai's words, everyone immediately changed their attack strategy. Lin unleashed her most powerful wind magic technique, compressing the surrounding air into small air bombs. She threw these bombs at the energy nodes at the base of the bat monster's wings. The air bombs exploded at the energy nodes, causing the bat monster's wings to lose balance and fall from the air.

A Gang concentrated his fighting spirit on the battle axe and chopped it hard at the energy node at the base of the bat monster's wings. The battle axe hit the energy node, and the bat monster's wings were cut off. It screamed in pain, fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and died.

The Ice Princess waved her wand and summoned a giant ice cone. The ice cone pierced the energy node at the base of the bat monster's wings. The ice cone hit the target accurately and destroyed the energy node. The bat monster's wings lost power and fell from the air.

The mysterious figure rapidly formed seals with his hands, and the forces of darkness and light swirled and merged in his palms. He harnessed these two powers to their full potential, transforming them into chains of energy that shimmered with a strange light. He flung these chains toward the energy nodes at the base of the bat monster's wings. The chains wrapped around the nodes, and with a powerful pull, they tore through the nodes, instantly paralyzing the bat monster's wings.

The white-clad figure played his flute faster and faster, the sound transforming into a swarm of gigantic light beasts. They charged toward the energy node at the base of the bat monster's wings, using their own strength to combat it. The Qilin's flames burned the energy node, the Light Dragon's claws tore at it, and the Light Tiger's speed allowed it to dart around the energy node with ease, continuously attacking the surrounding defenses.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the energy nodes at the base of the bat monster's wings were severely damaged. The bat monster's attacks gradually weakened, and their numbers dwindled. After a fierce battle, the bat monsters were finally wiped out.

The group continued to climb towards the misty peak. As they climbed higher, the air became thinner and the mist grew colder. A thin layer of frost formed on their bodies, but they continued to move forward towards the summit.

As they neared the summit, they suddenly heard a melodious song. The voice was ethereal and graceful, as if it came from the heavens, or perhaps even from the depths of each person's soul. The song held a mysterious power that captivated them.

"Everyone be careful, there's something strange about this singing!" Xu Tiancai warned, but he found that his voice became weak and powerless under the influence of the singing.

The crowd resisted the allure of the singing and continued on their way. When they reached the top of the mountain, a dreamlike scene unfolded before them. A vast garden, abounding with a variety of exotic flowers. The blossoms were a riot of color: blue blossoms shimmered like stars, red blossoms burned like flames, and white blossoms radiated like soft moonlight. These flowers swayed gently in the breeze, emitting an enchanting fragrance.
