60: Cut down the transformed fish

As the blade descended, the cries of Fire Finches echoed, and the phoenix-like bird, formed from the blazing blade light, flapped its wings and soared towards the Modified Fish in the air.

It grew larger and larger in the Modified Fish's pupils until it swallowed the Modified Fish's entire body into the flames.

At this moment, the launched water arrow also shot into the Modified Fish, which was entangled in flames.

In the flames, the Modified Fish began its final evolution.

Its flesh was continuously incinerated and then continuously regenerated.

Mucus constantly secreted from its entire body, and its scales connected to form a layer of aquamarine armor, covering its whole body.

Everything about its body began to evolve to resist the flames.

After the flames had burned out, the Modified Fish also fell to the ground.

At this time, its whole body was covered in scorched black wounds, and it lay motionless on the ground.

Jia Gu Yi Yan was not careless; he extended both hands, each holding a fireball, and pressed them forward.

Instantly, with a burst, the fireballs continuously shot out feather-shaped flames, striking the monster.

“Fire Finch Feather!”

First, he used a long-range attack to test whether the opponent was feigning death to ambush him.

Just as the fiery feathers were about to hit the monster, the monster finally reacted.

A small blue snake covered in scales shot out from the monster's carbonized chest, flying out like a phantom.

After the previous battle, this monster's final evolutionary direction…

Was actually to escape!

It abandoned its massive body, using the entire Modified Fish's body as armor to resist the burning flames.

The true core, however, evolved into a fast, small, snake-shaped monster.

This was the final evolution!

An evolution that exceeded Jia Gu Yi Yan's expectations!

The swift little snake floated in the air, darting towards the Artificial Lake like lightning.

No way!

Jia Gu Yi Yan drew a card, infused it with power, and threw it towards the lake water.

[Rainstorm E]!

Water flow blockade!

The card thrown into the lake water spun continuously, transforming into a dark cloud hovering over the Artificial Lake, continuously pouring down a Torrential Rain E.

Within the area covered by the Torrential Rain E, no external forces were allowed to enter.

The monster, as swift as lightning, crashed directly into the Artificial Lake covered by the Rainstorm E, and was then violently bounced back!

Jia Gu Yi Yan quickly adjusted his breathing, circulating the Basic Breathing Technique.

In an instant, his body streaked forth like a fiery afterimage, the Que Yan Blade already in hand, cutting a sharp fiery glow through the air as he struck at the small snake-shaped monster!

Whoosh!

Die!

This small snake was the aggregation of all the parasitic monster's sub-bodies; it could be considered the true main body of this parasitic monster.

And as Jia Gu Yi Yan's full-power strike landed on its main body, white steam exploded, evaporated by the flames.

The small snake was split in two, twisting and struggling.

Jia Gu Yi Yan's movements did not stop; he held the blade with both hands, infused flames into the blade, and twisted the hilt.

Swish swish swish!

Several more slashes followed, and the struggling small snake was hit multiple times again, turning into countless fragments enveloped in flames.

Bang!

The monster's corpse completely exploded, turning into a sky full of steam, dissipating in all directions.

“Is it this trick again?”

Jia Gu Yi Yan held his blade, calmly looking at the sky full of steam.

At this moment, the miniature black cloud formed by the thrown [Rainstorm E] had already surrounded the entire steam cloud.

Jia Gu Yi Yan had long been wary of this move from the monster.

As long as it evaporated into steam under attack,

His flames would be completely ineffective against it.

Therefore, to guard against this move, Jia Gu Yi Yan had thrown out [Rainstorm E] in advance.

It seemed to be using the power of [Rainstorm E] to block the monster's retreat.

In reality, this was to numb the monster's judgment.

After the monster was bounced back from the area covered by [Rainstorm E], he would use his full strength to shatter the monster's body.

The monster had no choice but to turn into steam.

And once it turned into steam, it would completely fall into his scheme.

The churning dark cloud continuously gathered from the Artificial Lake towards the steam, completely covering and enveloping the steam.

Then, silver lightning exploded, continuously flickering within the dark cloud!

The covered steam was also enveloped, torn, and decomposed by the lightning.

Until the dark cloud returned to calm, transforming back into a card, and falling into Jia Gu Yi Yan's hand.

The steam in front of him had disappeared, leaving only a monster crystal floating in the air.

“Is it finally resolved?”

Jia Gu Yi Yan let out a sigh of relief, his left hand sweeping across the card holder at his waist, drawing out a blank card, and throwing it towards the monster crystal in the air.

The monster crystal transformed into countless Light Energy points, which were absorbed by the card, turning it into a monster card.

[Light Energy Points +50]

The card had a red background with an 'F' in the upper right corner, and on the front, it depicted the monster's true form.

It was an ultra-miniature monster resembling a paramecium, densely packed together like cells.

Although it was an F-class monster, its threat was extremely high.

If he allowed it to evolve a few more times, he might truly be in danger.

After putting the monster card into the card holder, Jia Gu Yi Yan also felt a wave of exhaustion.

If he hadn't cultivated an additional [Mian Yu Technique], which made his breathing and stamina long and sustained,

He probably would have run out of stamina long ago in such a prolonged battle.

If the Basic Breathing Technique was about improving one's combat ability and physical fitness,

Then the [Mian Yu Technique] greatly enhanced combat endurance and resilience.

“Buzz!”

The Summoner emitted a buzzing sound.

Then, a green figure streaked towards Jia Gu Yi Yan.

The surrounding weeds also seemed to come alive, continuously growing and intertwining, forming thick ropes that wrapped around Jia Gu Yi Yan.

Jia Gu Yi Yan, already warned, was naturally not so passive.

The Basic Breathing Technique rapidly circulated, entering the armor's burning state.

Then, the blade swung, and flames connected into a single sheet, incinerating the surging vegetation into ash, striking at the green afterimage.

Whoosh!

Clang!

With a collision sound, the figure quickly retreated, and the surrounding weeds were also enveloped in flames, turning into a sky full of dancing ashes.

Jia Gu Yi Yan quickly distanced himself, looking at the figure that had ambushed him.

This was the first time Jia Gu Yi Yan had seen a monster so close to human form.

Its body was similar in size to a human, covered in black fur, with large hands clenched into fists, the surface of which was covered with a hard bony layer.

And on its head, a ring made of armor was placed around it.

Beyond that, its entire body was clad in a layer of black, unknown metal armor.

Gazing into its dark green eyes, Jia Gu Yi Yan even had the illusion of looking at a human.
