Seeing that the light shield on the giant rock was already precarious and wouldn't last much longer, Ling Tian decided to act and save the little cat on it.
Ling Tian then took out an entire book of Exploding Fire Talismans, instantly infused them with his true essence, and ten fireballs whistled towards the seven-gilled eel.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Continuous explosions rang out, and the soaring flames merged, forming a massive curtain of fire that directly enveloped the upper half of the seven-gilled eel.
However, after a few seconds, as the flames dispersed, Ling Tian was surprised to find that the seven-gilled eel was almost unharmed!
This was not surprising, as the seven-gilled eel was inherently tough-skinned and thick-fleshed. Furthermore, its body surface was covered with a large amount of disgusting mucus, which immediately extinguished the flames upon contact!
Ling Tian's actions, however, had completely enraged the large seven-gilled eel. It had smelled Ling Tian from a distance. The seven-gilled eel's huge and disgusting head turned towards Ling Tian, and the human face within its gaping maw looked at Ling Tian with a distant gaze.
Ling Tian did not hesitate. With a thought, the Smith & Wesson M500 appeared in Ling Tian's hand.
Ling Tian raised his hand and aimed at the monster's head, pulling the trigger.
The silver bullet, possessing immense kinetic energy, struck the monster's body, leaving only a few marks the size of winter dates. It didn't even manage to penetrate its defenses!
The face in the seven-gilled eel's massive mouth looked even more displeased, its gaze even showing a hint of anger.
The seven-gilled eel directly charged at Ling Tian. Ling Tian chuckled and quickly retreated, hiding in the cave.
"Boom!"
The seven-gilled eel slammed into the stone wall, its green blood and teeth flying again. But its attacks couldn't reach Ling Tian.
Every time the seven-gilled eel charged, Ling Tian would hide in the cave. The mountain wall resounded with the impact, and the seven-gilled eel cried out in pain, while Ling Tian remained unharmed.
Ling Tian was thoroughly enjoying the feeling of infuriating his enemy while being untouchable!
This infuriated the seven-gilled eel completely. A mere ant-like human was not even enough to fill its teeth, yet it continued to provoke it repeatedly. This was beyond unbearable!
What made the seven-gilled eel even more frustrated was that during this time, the little cat within the light shield on the giant rock actually chanted something, and the light shield, which had become transparent, began to regain its color!
The seven-gilled eel's nose flared. It had endured immense pain, smashing against the shield for a long time, breaking countless teeth, just to bring the light shield to the brink of collapse. Yet now, all its efforts had been in vain due to Ling Tian's interference.
Thus, the seven-gilled eel once again charged towards Ling Tian. However, unlike before, this time the seven-gilled eel's head burrowed directly into the cave where Ling Tian was hiding!
The cave was nearly three meters in diameter, and the seven-gilled eel's massive body fit in without much difficulty. Moreover, the seven-gilled eel was covered in a large amount of mucus, which acted like lubricant. The seven-gilled eel moved through the cave like a high-speed subway train!
Ling Tian quickly retreated dozens of meters, and almost the entire body of the seven-gilled eel entered the cave.
Watching the seven-gilled eel hurtling towards him like a high-speed subway, Ling Tian sneered. Suddenly, in front of Ling Tian, an Ice Soul Giant Bear, about the size of a grizzly bear, appeared.
The Ice Soul Giant Bear opened its massive mouth and spewed a blast of extreme cold air towards the direction where the seven-gilled eel was charging at high speed!
Caught off guard, the seven-gilled eel was less than ten meters away from Ling Tian. It opened its gaping maw, its sharp teeth capable of tearing Ling Tian to shreds in an instant.
However, at that very moment, the extreme cold air arrived.
The walls of the cave were originally made of ice. After absorbing the cold air, they had melted. Now, with the arrival of the extreme cold air, the melted water instantly froze, and the entire body of the seven-gilled eel was frozen to the cave walls.
No matter how the seven-gilled eel struggled, it couldn't move. After all, this was a cave, and there was very little space for the monster to maneuver.
The seven-gilled eel also felt the piercing cold, which was seeping into its body through its skin.
Ling Tian observed the mouth with rows of wriggling teeth up close. The human face in the center of the mouth was now extremely ferocious and distorted.
Ling Tian studied it for a long time, finding the evolution of this creature quite interesting.
However, this thing in front of him was too ugly and disgusting. Ling Tian decided to send it on its way.
With a thought, Ling Tian produced another single-soldier thermobaric bomb!
He directly aimed at the monster's gaping maw and unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.
"Chii!"
A rocket with a thermobaric warhead shot directly towards the seven-gilled eel. The immense impact sent the warhead into the seven-gilled eel's mouth.
The seven-gilled eel attempted to block the incoming projectile with its teeth, but it was all in vain. The warhead had extremely strong penetration and directly lodged itself into the seven-gilled eel's mouth, disappearing completely. Immediately, the warhead detonated for the first time, spewing a large amount of fuel and oxidizer into the seven-gilled eel's mouth, and then down its esophagus and into its body.
The next moment, the detonation device activated, and the violent flames ignited the oxidizer.
"Boom!"
Flames filled the entire cave. Even with its incredibly tough body, the seven-gilled eel couldn't withstand such an attack.
Imagine filling any creature with gasoline and then lighting it with a match; the scene would be too beautiful to behold.
The poor seven-gilled eel, with centuries of cultivation, met Ling Tian, a monster, and was utterly destroyed!
If it had been given another chance, the seven-gilled eel would never have dared to provoke this trouble. Wasn't it better to live?
The fire in the cave burned for a while before slowly subsiding. Ling Tian emerged from his spiritual realm and summoned the Fire Spirit. The Fire Spirit's body rapidly expanded, becoming as thick as the cave walls, and then it swept through, clearing everything.
The remaining debris of the seven-gilled eel's corpse was also completely burned away by the Fire Spirit. The entire inner wall of the cave became incredibly smooth, as if nothing had ever been there.
Finally, Ling Tian arrived at the edge of the cold pool again. Across the water, Ling Tian saw the little cat on the giant rock, observing him with curious eyes.
A Li did not have much wariness towards Ling Tian. It was this person who had helped it drive away the monster just now.
Moreover, A Li could sense that Ling Tian possessed an aura very similar to that of the Hong Fei Hermit from years ago. In fact, this was not surprising, as both Ling Tian and the Hong Fei Hermit were cultivators.
