Chapter 1175: Chapter 481: The Sand Trap Network

——Quicksand trap network!

The ground beneath the entity’s feet began to soften, forming interconnected quicksand pits.

These traps were ingeniously designed not to entrap the enemy, but to restrict its movement path, forcing the entity into a predetermined attack area.

Patty hovered in the air, observing the battlefield dynamics through the changes in airflow:

"Its movement pattern is starting to become predictable! Attack frequency is decreasing!"

Indeed.

Under the cumulative influence of multiple negative effects, the entity’s combat efficiency showed a notable decline.

Originally storm-like intensive attacks had now become sparse and chaotic.

"Then it’s my turn."

Ron switched the magic sword to a bow and arrow form, beginning to harness the newly acquired dual elements of thunder and fire.

As he drew the bowstring, an arrow composed of pure thunder and fire energy formed on the string.

This arrow’s appearance was extremely unique—the arrow shaft showcased a spiral dual-color pattern, with golden-red flames and silver-white lightning intertwined like a DNA double helix.

The arrowhead compressed an extremely terrifying energy density, flickering with a dangerous glow akin to a miniature thunderstorm core.

——Thunderfire Piercing Arrow!

The arrow shot off the string, leaving a brilliant trail in the air.

Its flight path wasn’t linear but zigzagged erratically like lightning, making it impossible for the target to predict the attack direction.

"Sizzle—!"

The arrow accurately struck the core area of the entity, instantly creating a shocking effect.

Flames erupted at the point of contact, causing widespread burning damage.

Meanwhile, electricity penetrated the internal biological structure, precisely attacking the nervous system.

The hit area not only suffered severe burns but also fell into complete paralysis.

"Ah—! What kind of attack is this?!"

The entity let out a painful howl.

The paralysis effect of the electricity temporarily caused it to lose control of parts of its body, while the continuous burning of the flames steadily consumed its life energy.

"Continue, don’t give it a chance to breathe!"

Ron continuously fired the bow, shooting thunderfire arrows like a meteor shower towards the target.

Each arrow was aimed from different angles and with various intensities to ensure maximum cumulative damage.

The entity started showing distinct signs of weakening.

Those once wildly dancing tentacles sagged powerlessly, and its massive body began to sway, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

......

Yet, just as the Sand Sea School team thought victory was near, an abrupt change occurred.

The entity’s body emitted a strange slithering sound, as if countless snakes were crawling under its skin.

Those seemingly fatal wounds were actually healing at a visible pace.

More horrifying was that the newly formed tissues displayed completely different traits—harder, more resilient, as though achieving a form of evolution amidst the agony.

"Is this... adaptive evolution?"

Ron frowned, seeing the unsettling truth through his ’Extraordinary Recognition.’

Every injury and revival of the entity left ’improvement marks’ at the biological structure level.

Areas burned by flames rebirthed with enhanced high-temperature resistance.

The nervous system incapacitated by electricity rebuilt with an additional insulation protective layer.

This mechanism made it increasingly difficult to handle during combat.

"Damn rebirth mechanism!"

Edwin cursed angrily:

"Our attacks are providing it with free strengthening material!"

Indeed.

As the battle persisted, the entity not only recovered all its injuries but its overall strength was even greater than at the start of the battle.

Its tentacles began to show a metallic sheen, evidently having gained immunity to high-temperature attacks.

The neural network also became more complex and precise, no longer easily disturbed by spiritual attacks.

"And our expenditure keeps mounting."

Laku wiped the sweat from his forehead, his magic power reserves already halfway drained:

"If this continues, we will be the ones to falter first."

Patty’s situation was also bleak.

The prolonged intense flying started to show signs of fatigue in her wings, with flying altitude and speed decreasing.

Only Ron, leveraging the magic power replenishment from the ’Star Projection’ trait and the constitution enhancement brought by bloodline awakening, maintained relatively sufficient combat power.

But even so, facing an enemy that grows stronger the longer the fight drags on, solo combat was clearly impractical.

"We must find a way to break this balance."

Ron quickly pondered strategies, but the entity had already started a new round of attacks.

This attack was entirely different from before.

Dozens of tentacles no longer flailed chaotically but coordinated tactically in a precise formation.

Some tentacles took charge of frontal containment, others flanked from the side, while specific ones targeted weak links within the team.

"Watch out Laku!"

Ron sensed danger, loudly warning.

A tentacle akin to a steel whip silently emerged from underground, targeting the casting Laku.

Laku reacted swiftly, immediately activating his Sand Flowing ability, trying to let the attack pass through.

But the entity evidently learned to counter this tactic.

The end of the tentacle abruptly split, forming a large pincer-like structure.

This attack method did not rely on puncturing or slicing, but physically clamped to trap the target.

"Snap!"

The giant pincers closed like lighting, precisely capturing Laku who was still in half Sand Flowing state.

The tremendous pressure instantly forced him from sand flow form back to a solid state, the intense pain making him emit a painful groan.
