Chapter 140: Magok Fire Elemental
Chapter 140: Magok Fire Elemental
Lin Sai's speculation was spot on.
But the scene after the fireball's explosion made him acutely aware of the danger his opponent posed.
In an instant, the energy within the fireball erupted.
The flame blast from the 【Flame Bomb】 was blown away by the fireball, leaving behind a crater on the ground as if it had been struck by a bomb, with raging flames still burning on its surface.
Lin Sai's exceptional vision allowed him to notice even the slightest details.
He could see that the soil was starting to crystallize!
"What was the temperature for melting glass again?"
Lin Sai stared, muttering to himself.
But the next moment, he didn't have time to complain, as the enemy blocking the entrance, its body wrapped in flames, erupted once more!
Whoosh—
Another fireball was launched from its body, pursuing Lin Sai relentlessly.
And due to the failure of the previous attack, this fireball was even hotter than the last!
"This is never-ending, isn't it?!"
Lin Sai ran while throwing another Flame Bomb.
Fortunately, although this fireball was more powerful, the locking mechanism remained unchanged, allowing him to detonate it with the bomb.
Before he could run a few more meters, the Flame Elemental's flames surged again, launching another attack!
Lin Sai successfully misdirected it once more.
There was no doubt that this further enraged the Fire Elemental.
The fireball that appeared this time was not only faster but also more powerful, surpassing the previous one by several levels!
"Isn't it a bit unfair to cast fireballs without cooldown?"
Lin Sai began to complain loudly about the opponent's attacks.
However, his mind remained calm, analyzing the current situation.
From the continuous stream of massive fireballs and the frequency of the attacks, Lin Sai could deduce that this creature was no ordinary low-level beast.
—Fifth stage?
Lin Sai compared this Fire Elemental to the Corrupted Poison Spider of the Fifth Stage in the Black Mountain World.
Undoubtedly, they were of the same caliber.
Recalling his experiences in the Black Mountain World, a thought kept popping into his mind.
"Would the Treant Crown's nature affinity enhancement work on this thing?"
The fireball behind him continued its pursuit.
Without hesitation, Lin Sai took out the tender pink floral crown and placed it on his head.
Boom! After another explosion, Lin Sai confirmed the result.
For a Fire Elemental with such a volatile temperament.
This affinity boost was not enough to disperse its aggression.
The mark of the Flame Elemental on the map remained a hostile red.
"..."
"If asking for peace doesn't work, then I have no choice but to fight."
With gentle methods proving ineffective, Lin Sai's gaze turned icy.
【Survival Construction】 → 【Hunting Simulation】
As he switched modules, the Fire Elemental's attacks continued.
Lin Sai's agile figure darted around, dodging the relentless fireballs, and every few seconds, he would abruptly turn and throw a Flame Bomb to misdirect, leaving behind a burning crater with each explosion.
Though he looked disheveled while being chased by the fireballs.
Lin Sai's expression remained calm.
As he evaded the pursuit, his eyes focused on his attribute panel.
Amidst such a tense and intense battle.
The 【Behavior Survey】 skill from his hunting skills kicked in, linking to 【Weakness Survey】, and the information about this Flame Elemental gradually filled his 【Hunting Journal】.
【Magok Fire Elemental】
【Active Element - Fifth Stage Elemental Life】
【Height: 1.4~1.7 meters】
【Speed: 20~35 meters/second】
【Elemental Life, extremely high body temperature, possesses heat sensory ability.】
【A special elemental creature born from a Meteor Core, highly active, with an explosive flame core. It actively attacks nearby creatures, almost immune to physical interference. Its attacks primarily utilize its high-temperature nature, manifesting in various extremely hot flame-based abilities.】
【Weakness: Explosive Flame Core】
【Hunting Suggestion: Subzero Temperatures】
Lin Sai's judgment was spot on; undoubtedly, a Tier 5 Elemental Lifeform!
And unlike the Meteor Flame Spirits that could use water, this creature's body temperature could probably instantly vaporize moisture. Hence, the hunting suggestion directly ignored water and instead displayed extreme low temperatures.
"I can only use low temperatures to deal with it..."
Lin Sai muttered to himself, taking advantage of another explosion's interval.
He drew out his Iron Horn Longbow and, from a hundred meters away, shot an arrow at the Magok Fire Elemental.
Whoosh—
The arrow flew, but it missed its target!
It wasn't due to Lin Sai's inaccurate shooting.
With his shooting skills as a Forest Archer, this strike was undoubtedly both swift and precise.
However, this Magok Fire Elemental was evidently more than twice as intelligent as the Meteor Flame Spirits. It sensed the temperature of the incoming arrow and quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack in advance.
When dealing with attacks, temperature sensing is an extremely challenging issue.
"..."
Lin Sai remained silent.
He didn't feel discouraged by his first attack missing.
On the contrary, the information revealed by this arrow strike laid the foundation for his victory in this battle!
Boom, boom, boom! Simultaneously, Lin Sai's counterattack enraged the Magok Fire Elemental.
This time, it even started to charge up significantly before firing three fireballs in succession towards Lin Sai.
However, Lin Sai also changed his tactics at this moment.
Instead of using a Flame Bomb to mislead, he jumped into the nearby infinite water pool he had created.
Boom, boom, boom—
The fireballs collided with the infinite water pool, instantly emitting a loud roar and tremors.
The creature instinctively tried to dry out the shallow pool, but the infinite water pool was not an ordinary pond. It continuously transformed, replenishing with new water and counteracting the high temperatures, causing a large amount of high-temperature steam to immediately burst out.
Although one pool couldn't neutralize the fireballs, Lin Sai had prepared well! Over thirty infinite water pools were already in place.
He kept drawing the fireballs into the water, gradually closing the distance between himself and the Magok Fire Elemental.
Boom, boom, boom! Explosions and tremors filled the entire underground, and high-temperature steam enveloped every corner.
"Very good, all conditions are now in place."
A calm, low voice analyzed the situation, emerging from the white steam.
Immediately after.
Boom!
The sound of the bowstring reverberated like thunder.
An arrow adorned with Frostwind Tailfeathers pierced through the air of the underground cave. The black arrowhead collided with the high-temperature white steam, instantly freezing it into fine ice crystals, bursting into tiny white flowers.
This strike was as swift as lightning, and its brilliance shone through the surrounding explosions.
The Magok Fire Elemental should have dodged.
But it was only supposed to be able to dodge.
Lin Sai proactively closed the distance, reducing its reaction time. The massive high-temperature steam emitted from the infinite water pools disrupted its temperature-sensing ability. The Frostbite Bismuth Arrow's icy sharpness penetrated the creature's surface flames, reaching its core!
In an instant, the powerful freezing force of the arrow took effect.
This formidable creature, which had been continuously shooting fireballs just a second ago, immediately lost its mobility under the rapidly cooling arrow. The Frostbite Bismuth Arrow's disruption of the Life Essence further hindered its ability to quickly escape this predicament.
Snap!
The Magok Fire Elemental fell to the ground.
Snap!
Lin Sai stepped on the surrounding white high-temperature steam, breaking through it.
He stood before the Magok Fire Elemental like an executioner, the Flame Pattern on the back of his hand emitting a flashing red light. In his hand, which was emitting a dazzling glow, he held a flintlock rifle that had just been loaded with ammunition.
The Magok Fire Elemental in front of him continued to struggle.
Its final flames tightly wrapped around the arrowhead on its core.
With just an inch more, its life would be completely terminated by this arrow, controlled by the Flame Pattern.
Lin Sai coldly lowered the gun's muzzle and pulled the trigger.
The spring caused the flint to strike the firing pan, creating sparks that ignited the gunpowder in the chamber.
"A Tier 5 Elemental Lifeform."
"Just what I needed to unlock a new game module."
