Chapter 691 The Barren Land - Steve

Rather than saying Cheng Tian was helping the Yanmiao couple, it would be more accurate to say he was trying to balance the power between the two sides.

Neither the Flame Cat couple nor Bear Grylls are Cheng Tian's friends. If possible, the best outcome Cheng Tian hopes to achieve is for both sides to perish together.

So when the Teostra was in danger of fatal injury, Cheng Tian intervened.

Cheng Tian didn't want either side to be in a near-death state first. It wasn't that he wanted the loot, but because this dungeon wasn't a pure Monster Hunter dungeon.

The rules for soul sacrifice are still in effect!

If either side is in a near-death state, then the most basic rule of soul sacrifice is met. Once either side successfully sacrifices the other, it not only means that Cheng Tian's reward will be taken, but also that he will have to face an even more troublesome enemy.

However, Cheng Tian did not expect that by simply placing a barrier to interfere with the opponent's horn charge, he would directly gain Bear Grylls's aggro lock.

Looking at Bear Grylls' nose, which was flowing with what seemed to be blood, snot, or both, Cheng Tian seemed to understand how he had overworked.

Compared to the dragon-beast units of this world, Behemoths possess a significantly higher level of intelligence.

Although he still cannot compare to humans, Bear Grylls can be considered a tactician with considerable strategy among the Warcraft species.

The fact that it unleashed a giant vortex to block the entrance right from the start shows that this thing's brain works much faster than you might imagine.

If it were an ordinary monster, and its nose was hit by Teostra's horn, it would definitely go after Teostra. But Bear Grylls was able to trace back the magic power left by the suddenly appearing Heart Barrier and locate Cheng Tian directly.

In its perception, although it was the Teostra that hurt it, the root cause was this suddenly appearing barrier, which was the spellcaster, Cheng.

This judgment has clearly surpassed that of ordinary monsters, becoming quite intelligent.

Cheng Tian, ​​who is under the threat of being locked on, will become Behemoth's primary target for the next 90 seconds.

In other words, Behemoth will ignore everyone else, including the attacks from the Flame Cat couple, and use 90 seconds to do everything in its power to crush Cheng Tian to death!

Behemoth, still sniffling, had already raised its paw high and slapped it towards Cheng Tian's location from a distance—

As the ground cracked, a series of small, continuous lightning strikes rapidly approached Cheng Tian.

Wearing his superior combat suit, Cheng Tian jogged to avoid being hit on the head by lightning, but was forced to separate from Bazett, who had crash-landed at the same time.

Meanwhile, Bear Grylls, whose eyes were fixed on Cheng Tian, ​​used the same trick again. He used the lightning strike to restrain Cheng Tian and gathered strength in his limbs before leaping rapidly toward Cheng Tian's location.

However, when faced with the massive Bear Grylls that was about to smash him into a pancake, Cheng Tian, ​​who had come to an abrupt stop, only made one movement.

Spread your fingers and place them on either side of your forehead.

The next second, a blinding ray of light, as if it were the sun, burst forth from Cheng Tian's forehead—

Tai! Yang! Fist!
The usually dimly lit Crystal Lands has now reached its most dazzling moment!
Aside from their own people who were experienced and had instinctively closed their eyes and lowered their heads, everyone and everything that inadvertently looked directly at the brilliance of the Solar Flare let out a shrill scream. Especially the Grand Master's side, whose small pterosaur, which was already struggling to stay alert under taming conditions and forced to remain in the scene where ancient dragons and magical beasts gathered, howled as it plummeted to the ground like a mosquito sprayed with insecticide. Naturally, the Grand Master himself, whose eyes were also blinded by the light, also crashed.

A mere hundred meters is no problem at all for these legendary, slam-resistant hunters!

With 42% gem fragments added, the Sun Fist's range and brightness are significantly increased, far exceeding expectations.

Among all the individuals, Behemoth, who stared most intently at Cheng Tian, ​​suffered the most severe blinding effect.

My vision was completely white. My eyes, which were already feeling strange due to the damage to my nasal cavity, were now experiencing pain beyond my wildest expectations.

But at that very moment, the thing on his forehead that had been locking onto Cheng like a laser also disappeared.

The aggro lock-on mechanism usually lasts for 90 seconds before it disappears naturally. However, players can also accumulate more aggro by having the tank continuously attack Behemoth's head, causing it to switch aggro lock-on targets. Alternatively, players can use things like Solar Punch or Flashbangs, as Cheng Tian is doing now, to clear the aggro to zero.

Of course, the flashbang technique for clearing aggro should not be used repeatedly or frequently, because Behemoth will gradually become immune to the strong light.

This time, however, it was hit by the most powerful and terrifying light of its life right from the start, which almost blinded it.

No matter what kind of creature it is, it will be difficult for it to maintain its balance when it suddenly loses its sight.

Behemoth landed with a thud, not only missing his target but also staggering and falling sideways to the ground.

However, Cheng did not take this opportunity to launch an attack. Instead, he threw the small round shield with the Stars and Stripes painted on it directly in front of him and immediately activated the equipment effect attached to "Soul of Orochi": "I am Orochi!"

A strange power was suddenly added to the shield, and then the shield, as if manually controlled, rolled rapidly like a wheel, drawing a not-too-complex magic circle on the ground.

Even the instigator, Mr. Cheng, was somewhat amazed, because the scene before him was as if he were summoning the Earth Demon King (Light Warrior)...

Of course, Monster Hunter World cannot summon mechanical units, but that doesn't stop Cheng Tian from summoning his own servant spirits to act as tanks.

The shield, which had drawn a complex magic circle on the ground, eventually rolled to the very center of the circle, where it was then firmly grasped by a hand that appeared out of nowhere and quickly rose up.

At that moment, the earth trembled slightly, as if welcoming something.

And the figure holding the shield also made his appearance.

A man dressed in a tight-fitting combat suit with bright red stripes, completely covered except for his eyes and ears, stood in front of Cheng Tian, ​​holding a Stars and Stripes shield.

But then, the Stars and Stripes shield, which was originally mainly blue, white and red, also changed color at this moment, just like it was waiting for a color change.

"Barren earth, Captain Steve Orochi pays homage to my lord!"

The man, clearly excited and agitated, knelt on one knee before Cheng Tian, ​​his face showing a look of utter loyalty.
