The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

This fatal pause lasted less than a breath.

But for Leopard, that was enough.

"Aww!"

A roar rang out.

The purple lightning, moving at a speed far exceeding that of before, ruthlessly enveloped the area.

scoff!

Use a hot knife to cut the butter.

The Void Hunter was unable to break free from the illusion; its body was torn to shreds by the violent lightning, and arcs of electricity crackled across its dark remains, emitting plumes of smoke.

pat.

Several pieces of bone fell to the ground and quickly vanished into nothingness, leaving only a crystal core the size of a fingernail.

The battle is over.

From the moment it appeared to the instant sell-out, the entire process took less than a second.

Li Yan's eyes flashed with approval. He had foreseen the current situation the moment Chen Guan closed his eyes.

As Chen Guan's former teacher, he knew very well that Chen Guan possessed considerable illusionary skills.

At this moment, Chen Guan opened his eyes, his face calm. He patted Leopard's head to encourage him, then walked forward familiarly, bent down and picked up the crystal core.

"Awoo."

The leopard nuzzled the coffin with its head as if seeking praise, its tail wagging and leaving afterimages.

Chen Guan tossed the crystal core to it.

The leopard swallowed it whole, chewed it twice, then squinted its eyes contentedly, making a satisfied gurgling sound in its throat.

This tastes much better than the previous Crystal Shooter.

It wasn't stupid; it knew there was plenty of delicious food ahead, and tears of happiness streamed down its face.

Oh, you're such a good melon, I'll still be with you in my next life.

Li Yan looked at the outrageous sight of the human and beast, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

That air of mastery he had just displayed was completely shattered by this scene.

Chen Guan pointed to the floating island opposite: "Can we cross the bridge now?"

"Um."

Li Yan nodded and took the lead in stepping onto the first floating boulder.

Chen Guan followed closely behind with Leopard.

What followed was the start of a genocide.

Chen Guan's spiritual network spread out continuously, scanning the area ahead like a radar.

Almost every time they stepped on a new boulder, it triggered an attack.

"Thirty meters to the left rear."

With a thought, Chen Guan cast an invisible illusion at the designated location.

hiss.

A Void Hunter arrived as promised.

The moment it appeared, it was plunged into the illusion that its target had suddenly transformed into a giant beast engulfed in purple flames.

Stiff.

boom!

The leopard transformed into a purple blur, its sharp claws tearing through the air and slicing across the hunter's head.

Another crystal core in hand.

"Two ahead, at the twelve o'clock position."

"Awoo!"

The leopard let out an excited cry; it loved the feeling.

Just like its owner opening cans of food and placing them in front of it, it simply enjoys them.

Mental web capture, illusion trap immobilizes, and void lightning instantly kills.

Their combined punches flowed smoothly, and Chen Guan and Leopard's teamwork became increasingly seamless.

Li Yan walked at the front, never making a move, leaving the entire battlefield to the young man behind him.

The scrutiny in his eyes had somehow turned into calm, and even his tense shoulders had relaxed a bit.

This student is growing faster than he expected.

A broken stone bridge stretches over the abyss.

Two figures, one large and one small, leaped between the rocks. Each leap was accompanied by a burst of purple light and the fall of a apex predator.

This bloody hunt, set against the backdrop of the dark abyss, somehow possessed a peculiar rhythm.

As the floating island with its strange crystal tower on the opposite shore drew ever closer, only a few giant rocks remained.

Within Chen Guan's mental network, no new hunter's presence was detected.

The spies in this area seem to have been wiped out.

Only then did he belatedly ask, "Is it okay if I scanned everything with just one click?"

"It's alright." Li Yan shook his head: "The rift will continuously introduce new creatures, and we can't kill them all. The Great Wall is also actively pushing outwards, and there are countless enemies outside as well."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guan finally felt relieved.

The two of them, one after the other, stepped onto the floating island on the opposite shore, where a strange crystal tower stood.

The sensation underfoot changed dramatically; the ground was covered with some kind of dark purple fleshy fungus carpet, soft and elastic to the touch, like stepping on the tongue of a giant beast.

"The concentration of void energy here is at least three times higher than before."

Chen Guan stopped in his tracks; he could even see wisps of purple mist flowing across the ground.

"Um."

Li Yan's voice was as steady as ever as he pointed to the crystal spire in the distance that was emitting an ominous red light.

"That's a signal tower. You can think of it as a Void Beast trap. The closer you get to it, the higher the level and density of the Void Beasts."

He glanced at the coffin, his bronze face revealing no emotion.

"Your clearing operation was very efficient, but that was just an appetizer. In the Void food chain, the Lurkers are opportunists, not true warriors."

"Don't worry, teacher, I know what I'm doing."

"Awoo?"

Leopard didn't listen to what they said. Curious, it scratched at the fungal carpet on the ground with its paw, then raised its head, its golden vertical pupils looking around like a diner entering a novel buffet, searching for the next can of food.

Just then, a heavy scraping sound came from behind a large cluster of crystals that looked like coral reefs.

A colossal creature slowly emerged from the crystal forest.

It was a giant turtle-shaped creature, as large as an armored vehicle, with its shell made up of irregular pieces of deep purple crystal. The surface of the crystal shimmered with liquid light and had an indestructible texture.

It has no head; instead, a constantly rotating energy ball, emitting a ghostly blue light, floats above its neck.

"Void Crystal Turtle, Tier 7, with an external core, extremely strong defense, and very high resistance to elemental damage."

Li Yan stood to the side with his arms crossed, quickly reporting the monster's information; his main role was to broadcast the information.

"Awoo!"

Leopard didn't care. In its eyes, this slow-moving behemoth was just a giant, mobile can.

It let out an excited growl, its hind legs suddenly exerting force, its entire body transforming into a condensed purple lightning bolt, rushing straight towards the suspended blue energy ball at a speed faster than ever before.

The leopard's predatory instincts told it that the shiny ball was the big monster's weakness.

However, just as the leopard's claws were about to touch the energy ball...

hum.

A semi-transparent hexagonal energy shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire Void Crystal Turtle.

The leopard's claws tore at the shield, creating a piercing scraping sound and a long string of sparks.

boom!

It was as if Leopard had crashed into an invisible wall. The force of the impact sent him flying, and he tumbled several times in the air before finally landing with difficulty.

It shook its numb claws, looking incredulously at its ineffective attack, and for the first time, bewilderment appeared in its golden vertical pupils.

Why can't I open this can?

It is of course impossible to open. Just as Li Yan said, this monster has elemental resistance, and elemental attacks are reduced in effectiveness.
