Special effects: Simultaneous time travel, starting with the armor of light and shadow.

Just when Wu Qidong thought he couldn't escape this time, the sound of a motorcycle suddenly came from afar.

boom!

A familiar scene played out before Wu Qidong once again.

"It's you again!"

After knocking the Thornwood Beast away, Nan Yan took off his helmet and then saw Wu Qidong again.

"What a coincidence!"

Wu Qidong gave an awkward smile.

"You should leave here first. I'll come find you after I've sorted things out here."

Nan Yan then remembered that the Shadow Realm seemed to have a way to find the descendants of the Light and Shadow Village.

If this problem isn't solved, we'll probably encounter the same guy again next time.

Wu Qidong nodded repeatedly and fled the scene in a panic.

After confirming that Wu Qidong had left, Nan Yan slowly turned around and locked his gaze on the two alien beasts opposite him.

It was entirely green, covered in sharp spikes, and holding a spiked club.

Thornwood Beast!

It was a creature with a bluish-brown body, a ferocious insect head, and two shrimp-like pincers that opened and closed with its movements.

Grasshopper Beast!

"Is today a buy-one-get-one-free deal?"

Nan Yan flexed his wrists, preparing to transform.

Suddenly, the grasshopper beast opened its large mouth full of sharp teeth, and a long tongue shot out like an arrow.

Nan Yan's eyes narrowed sharply.

Fortunately, having shared the power of the Inui Takumi Orphnoch, he was not entirely without the ability to resist.

Suddenly, the signature gray-black lines of Orphino appeared on Nan Yan's face.

next moment.

Nan Yan stepped forward and quickly dodged the grasshopper beast's attack.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Nan Yan dared not be careless any longer. After standing still, he immediately took the fire crystal necklace ring from his neck.

"Flame Dragon Armor - Combine!"

As the fire crystal was inserted into the summoner, a dazzling red light descended from the sky, instantly engulfing Nan Yan's figure.

Flames danced and swirled.

With a clanging sound of metal clashing, the red and silver Flame Dragon Armor appeared amidst the flames.

Ta-da!

Nan Yan casually flicked his wrist, and amidst the clanging of armor, he charged straight at the Thornwood Beast.

"roar!"

The Thornwood Beast swiftly swung its spiked club, whistling sharply as it slammed it down towards Nan Yan's body.

"That's it!"

Nan Yan chuckled and slightly shifted his body to the side, easily dodging the powerful blow.

Followed by.

Nan Yan lunged to the side of the Thornwood Beast, used his waist to generate power, and threw a punch with his right fist, striking the Thornwood Beast squarely in the abdomen.

boom!

Sparks fly!

The thorny wood beast was immediately knocked back.

however.

Instead of being pleased with his successful attack, Nan Yan became even more vigilant.

The speed wasn't increased!

The strength hasn't increased either!

It's easy to imagine that the Thornwood Beast, after fusing with an undead creature, would be enhanced in terms of its special abilities.

call out!

Before Nan Yan could even get a chance to attack, the grasshopper beast not far away couldn't sit still any longer and stuck out its long tongue again.

Nan Yan quickly flipped over to dodge, and at the same time reached out to take off the accessory on his chest, assembling it into a golden-red longbow.

Flame Bow!

Holding the middle part of the Flaming Bow, Nan Yan aimed at the grasshopper beast in the distance. As energy accumulated, red energy arrows flew out one after another.

After just a few shots, the grasshopper beast's health was reduced to the kill threshold.

Just as Nan Yan was about to activate his ultimate move, several green vines rushed out from the ground.

First the ankles, then the torso...

In the blink of an eye, Nan Yan was tightly bound by dense vines.

"Oh no, I was careless again!"

After seeing the Grasshopper Beast enter the kill range, he actually forgot about the Thornwood Beast on the other side!

"hateful!"

Nan Yan struggled.

As the energy within his body erupted, flames rose from the Fiery Dragon Armor.

The vines that were wrapped around Nan Yan immediately began to wither.

However, at this time...

Seeing an opportunity, the grasshopper beast that had entered the kill line opened its mouth and spat out its long tongue, which went straight for Nan Yan's body.

Nan Yan was at a critical moment in breaking free from his restraints.

If it is interrupted, the consequences are predictable.

shhhhhh!

In the critical moment, several blue arrows flew in, deflecting the grasshopper beast's long tongue.

It struck the open ground next to Nan Yan.

It immediately left a deep dent, and dust flew up.

Nan Yan turned his head to look in the direction from which the blue arrow had flown.

Under the sunlight, a set of blue armor gleamed.

Its eyes are crimson, and its armor is primarily blue, accented with silver and white.

It has distinct eagle features all over its body and looks extremely light and agile.

It is Dong Shan transformed into the Wind Eagle Warrior!

After waking up, Dongshan quickly discovered that his resonance with the Wood Shadow Stone was more pronounced, which meant that he could transform into the Wind Eagle Armor.

Holding the Wind Eagle Armor Summoner and the Wood Crystal Necklace that he had already crafted, Dong Shan quickly combined with the Wind Eagle Armor and headed to support Nan Yan.

They just happened to save Nan Yan from a crisis.

After deflecting the grasshopper beast's attack, Dongshan fired several more arrows, breaking the vines controlled by the thorny wood beast.

Without the control of the Thornwood Beast, Nan Yan quickly broke free of his restraints.

One for each person!

After exchanging a glance with Dongshan, Nanyan took the lead and walked towards the Thornwood Beast.

You were the one doing the bondage thing just now, weren't you?

With continuous firing of his Flaming Bow, he quickly brought the Thornwood Beast to the kill threshold.

Immediately following.

With a thought, Nan Yan's Flame Bow quickly transformed into a crimson double-edged longsword.

【Flaming Blade!】

After summoning the Flaming Blade, Nan Yan's gaze locked onto the Thornwood Beast.

At the same time, he reached out and turned the knob on the right side of his belt, and a red light and shadow scroll with the character "斩" (slay) printed on it appeared out of thin air in front of him.

【Demon-Sealing Slash!】

Nan Yan gripped the Flaming Blade tightly with both hands, lightly touched the ultimate move, and slowly retreated to gather his strength.

"Turn to ashes!"

Nan Yan unleashed a slash.

A crimson crescent-shaped blade of energy flew towards the Thornwood Beast.

The Thornwood Beast immediately stood still, and a red Bagua pattern appeared behind it.

[Flame Fist!]

Nan Yan leaped up and threw a punch that pierced straight through the Thornwood Beast's body.

boom--!

As Nan Yan slowly stood up, the Thornwood Beast behind him exploded, and two different cards slowly condensed in the flames.

"So this time it's the 7 of Hearts—an undead vine creature?"

After putting away the two cards, Nan Yan placed the Thornwood Beast Demon Scroll in front of his belt to seal it completely.

Then, he turned to look at the battle on Dongshan's side.

Just then, Dongshan's side was nearing its end.

A green aura, signifying that it had entered the kill zone, had already appeared on the grasshopper beast's body.

Dongshan reached out and turned the knob.

A deadly scroll bearing the character "刺" (stab) appeared before him.

With a light touch of the Wind Eagle Sword, Dongshan retreated to gather his strength.

With a loud eagle's cry, countless sword feathers shot towards the grasshopper beast.

however.

Just as the fatal attack was about to strike, the grasshopper beast suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a thick black mist.

next second.

The person simply vanished without a trace.

Dongshan's fatal blow missed instantly, and the sword feather shot into the distance through the black mist.

Nan Yan, who witnessed this scene from afar, remained silent.

As expected of you, Master Kong!
