"Take this move again, and see if you don't die!" Gonggong yelled crazily, the silver hoop on his head continuing to emit a strong silver light.

The water column that had been chasing Zhenjun earlier dispersed, turning into numerous sharp ice cones. There were hundreds of these ice cones, flying quickly through the air, stabbing towards Zhenjun.

"This is bad..." Zhenjun's face changed color. There were too many ice cones, and even though he had the ability to foresee the enemy's actions in advance, it was difficult to dodge them.

A large number of ice cones flew at high speed in the air, piercing through Zhenjun's clothes and skin, leaving trails of blood.

"There's no other way, I have to use this move..." Realizing he couldn't dodge the ice cone attacks, Zhenjun gave up dodging and stopped mid-air.

His body began to transform, his skin swelling and growing a yellow-brown substance that was dry, hard, and thick like rock. This substance continuously grew and spread over his body surface like armor, tightly covering him.

A crisp "crackling" sound rang out. The rock-like substance covering Zhenjun's body was extremely hard, causing the ice cones to shatter upon contact, unable to penetrate his thick skin.

With the protection of this rock armor, Zhenjun's defensive capabilities greatly increased. He directly withstood the ice cone strikes with his body and quickly flew towards Gonggong, slashing at him with a long spear, leaving several wounds on his serpentine body.

"Wah! Damned Third Eye, daring to injure me, I will not let you go!" Gonggong was furious. He continuously controlled the water from the river to surge out towards the sky, turning into more ice cones stabbing towards Zhenjun.

The sky filled with ice cones looked like a dense swarm of locusts, numbering in the thousands. These ice cones flew towards Zhenjun en masse, endlessly piercing his body in a frenzied attack.

Zhenjun's face showed a pained expression. Even with the protection of his hard rock armor, facing such a massive number of ice cone attacks was difficult to withstand. Cracks began to appear on his stone armor, and blood flowed from his wounds.

"I'll fight you to the end!" Zhenjun was determined. Knowing that there was no other way out except to defeat Gonggong, he did not back down.

He flew quickly in the air, closely chasing Gonggong, continuously wielding his trident to slash at Gonggong's body, leaving wound after wound on Gonggong's serpentine body.

Meanwhile, Gonggong also controlled a large number of ice cones to continuously stab at Zhenjun. At this moment, both parties were furiously attacking each other, inflicting damage. The battle had turned into a war of attrition, with it now being a matter of who could last longer.

The Hydra was rapidly crawling on the ground, chasing Lin Shiqi, Dream Butterfly, and Yuji. Its huge body moved quickly, making it impossible for Dream Butterfly and the others to escape. They were about to be caught by the Hydra.

"We must stop it, or they'll lose their lives," Qin Yan anxiously flew towards the Hydra, trying to stop it from attacking Lin Shiqi and the others.

However, as soon as he got close to the Hydra, he was attacked by the venom and flame from six of the Hydra's heads, as well as their biting attacks. Qin Yan couldn't handle the attacks from so many heads, forcing him to retreat. If he retreated too slowly, he would be hit by the flames and venom, suffering significant injuries.

"No, even though the Hydra only has six heads left, it's still too strong. I can't stop it alone." Qin Yan was troubled. Although he knew he couldn't handle the Hydra by himself, he couldn't just leave it be, as Lin Shiqi and the others would lose their lives.

A red light streaked across the sky, Yi Tianchou swiftly flew past one of the Hydra's heads, using his red spear to stab at the Hydra's body, then summoning several fireballs to smash onto the Hydra's body. After the attack, Yi Tianchou quickly moved away from the Hydra to avoid its counterattack.

However, this level of attack was nothing to the massive Hydra. The places where the Hydra was hit by the fireballs and the red spear only suffered minor injuries, and it merely paused briefly before continuing its pursuit of Lin Shiqi, Dream Butterfly, and Yuji without paying any attention to Yi Tianchou.

"The monster's defense and recovery abilities are too strong. Ordinary attacks are useless against it. It seems that if we want to defeat this creature, we'll have to rely on that sword," Yi Tianchou thought, glancing at the large sword in Qin Yan's hand from afar.

Seeing Yi Tianchou coming to help, Qin Yan loudly said, "Let's go together and see if we can take this thing down!" Saying that, he quickly flew towards the Hydra.

Yi Tianchou also knew that they had to cooperate with Qin Yan to kill the Hydra. He flew towards the Hydra from another direction, attacking it together with Qin Yan.

The Hydra, seeing Qin Yan and Yi Tianchou flying towards it, immediately targeted them with its six heads, launching attacks. Qin Yan and Yi Tianchou flew around the Hydra, dodging its attacks while looking for opportunities to strike.

The Hydra now had six heads, which meant Qin Yan and Yi Tianchou each had to face three heads.

The Hydra's huge body made it extremely difficult to handle even one head, let alone three giant serpents. Qin Yan and Yi Tianchou flew around the Hydra for quite some time without finding any opportunity to attack.

However, fortunately, they managed to distract the Hydra, preventing it from chasing Lin Shiqi, Dream Butterfly, and the others, allowing them to escape to a location far from the Hydra. They didn't dare to run too far, in case they encountered other monsters and Qin Yan wouldn't be able to save them.

"Can you distract five of its heads? Otherwise, I can't get close to it," Qin Yan said to Yi Tianchou, finding no opportunity to attack the Hydra. He flew out of the Hydra's attack range and stood on the large sword, using his own gravity to charge the sword with energy.

Yi Tianchou didn't respond but flew directly towards the Hydra from the front. The Hydra immediately turned towards him, with its six heads launching attacks simultaneously.

Yi Tianchou hurriedly flew quickly to dodge. At this moment, the Hydra, unlike before when it was restrained by two people and couldn't move, rapidly crawled with its six bodies towards Yi Tianchou, continuously launching attacks. Yi Tianchou dodged the Hydra's attacks in a very awkward manner, getting hit by some venom and flames, suffering minor injuries, and was almost bitten by one of the giant heads.

Yi Tianchou felt he was in a dangerous situation and had to fly to a location far from the Hydra, escaping its attack range. Seeing Yi Tianchou flying far away, the Hydra turned its heads and continued crawling towards Lin Shiqi and the others' direction.
