Chapter 1130: YUNYUE VS SIREN (II)

Their team was using an item to create a barrier around the raft. While Su Yuqi could also use her skill to erect a barrier, it would only protect the raft and its occupants, but it would prevent them from launching any attacks. So, they chose a rare item instead.

This barrier could stop attacks from the outside, and at the same time, allow them to dish out attacks with no problems.

"Watch out for any attacks."

As soon as Shen Ji Yun said that, monsters suddenly surged from underneath the river. They attacked the barrier with frenzied intensity, their eyes gleaming red, claws and teeth gnashing against the shield. The barrier shook under their relentless assault, each strike echoing through the air as the river churned around them.

Shen Ji Yun leapt forward, his sword crackling with purple lightning. He sliced through the monsters that were trying to breach the barrier, each swing emitting a flash of light as it cleaved through scales and flesh. Su Yuqi stood firm at the center, casting spells that sent pulses of energy outward, pushing the monsters off the barrier with calculated precision.

On the flanks, the two dragons fought violently, tearing through the creatures with powerful physical attacks. Their roars reverberated, drowning out the hisses and growls of the attacking horde. Luo Yan moved swiftly and silently, his daggers finding the vital points of each enemy with lethal efficiency. Bai Ze swung his gauntlets, each hit sending monsters flying back into the river.

Eclipse darted around the raft, using quick, strategic attacks to cut down enemies and create openings for his teammates. His tails flared with energy, adding to the onslaught against the invaders.

Despite their efforts, the monsters seemed endless, wave after wave crashing against the barrier. Each time one creature was struck down, another took its place. The barrier shook continuously under the relentless assault, showing no signs of respite.

"These monsters are never ending!" Luo Jin shouted as he shot a monster in the head. "Something's definitely wrong here!"

Luo Yan agreed. Just look at how frenzied these monsters were. It's like they were on drugs or something. And maybe they were, in some way. It's possible that a member of team Siren had a skill to control monsters.

Even if there was a barrier, it was mostly to protect the raft. Because once the raft was broken, it would be hard for them all to move on the river. That's why they were protecting the barier like this. Even though there's another option for them, it would be better to use the raft at the early stage of this match.

Amidst the back-and-forth between them and the monsters, Luo Yan heard a 'crack.' He looked up, and sure enough, cracks had started to appear above. Before he could tell Su Yuqi to reinforce the barrier, something struck the crack. It went through the monster, slashing at the barrier and straight into the fracture.

The barrier shattered with a resounding explosion, fragments of the protective shield scattering in all directions. The sudden break in their defense left the raft vulnerable, and the monsters surged forward with more ferocity than ever.

But before the monsters could even crowd them and hit the raft, Shen Ji Yun used a skill that produced a huge purple slash. It immediately killed all the monsters coming down on them. At the same time, a barrier was erected courtesy of Su Yuqi.

"They really are not giving us a chance to breathe," Bai Ze complained.

"Just let us barbecue these pea-brains!" Rowan said, obviously very annoyed by the barrage of monster attacks.

"I kind of agree with this uncle here," Eclipse said.

"Do it. Let's clear this area quickly," Shen Ji Yun said. "Yuqi, the moment the area is cleared, propel the raft at the highest speed."

"Now we're talking," Rowan said, bright red flames appearing on his hands.

Dusk didn't say anything, but black flames also appeared on his hands. Then the two dragons incinerated all the monsters in sight. Their flames were so hot that the river water had started to evaporate. The smoke it produced covered the raft and the surrounding area.

The raft cut through the water like a knife, leaving a trail of steam in its wake as it sped away from the battle. The rapid movement caused the remaining smoke to part, revealing the path ahead. As the raft raced down the river, the team remained vigilant, ready to fend off any new threats.

The water around the raft bubbled and hissed, evaporating from the residual heat of the dragons' flames. The air was filled with the scent of scorched earth and burnt monsters. And the raft flew down the river at high speed.

From a distance, what Yin Meiyu and Tang Xi saw were the dragons incinerating the monsters and the smoke spreading around the area. Yin Meiyu was the one who shot an arrow that caused a crack to the barrier. Her follow-up shot destroyed the barrier completely.

"Isn't that a bit of an overkill?" Yin Meiyu said, referring to the two dragons. "It should be illegal to allow such strong pets in an official match like this."

"I think they're smart for taking advantage of that. There's probably no teams right now that had pets that strong," Tang Xi said. "Even I wished I saw the wisdom to that much early on. Maybe our pet could have had a killer whale as a pet."

"Let's just go and proceed to the next step," Yin Meiyu said while shaking her head.

Tang Xi nodded and bit on a mouthpiece. After that, a transparent helmet like a bubble appeared. Yin Meiyu did the same. And the two dived into the water.
