A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 456 Immunity

"No, these beasts' shells are too hard; our attacks are having no effect on them," Curry said anxiously, his forehead covered in sweat.

"You can try attacking their eyes," Chao Bufan said calmly.

Fenrit said urgently, "No, I've tried, but I can't attack their eyes at all."

"That's because you're stupid," Chao Bufan said irritably. "Couldn't you have cast a spell on them first, then attack?"

"Well??"

Fenrit was visibly startled, and in that moment of distraction, the man-eating ants directly in front of him accelerated, closing in almost instantly. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, casting "Magic Slow" to immediately slow the ants' movements. Taking advantage of the brief respite, Fenrit didn't hesitate and unleashed "Magic Ice Spike" at the ants. With a few "pfft, pfft" sounds, the ice spike struck the ants' eyes, instantly blinding them.

With a few sharp, painful cries, the man-eating ants whose eyes had been blinded collapsed instantly, struggling for a few moments before falling still.

"Huh??" Fenrit was startled, then overjoyed. This extraordinary move had indeed worked. Without hesitation, he unleashed "Magic Slowness" and "Magic Ice Cone" in quick succession. With a series of screams, dozens of man-eating ants died at his hands in just a moment.

Over here, Doslu and Curry, reminded by Chao Bufan, decisively abandoned their one-sided magical attacks. First, they used "Magic Slowness," followed by "Magic Thunderous Strike" and "Magic Blaze." In no time, dozens of man-eating ants died under their magical attacks.

However, Bridal didn't seem to be so lucky. Although he immediately used "Magic Slow" on the Queen Ant without hesitation after being reminded by Chao Bufan, the "Magic Slow" only slowed her down for a moment. Before his "Magic Wind Blade" could even arrive, the Queen Ant reacted and quickly used her two giant pincers to shield her eyes while counterattacking. The two actions seemed to be two separate movements, but they were not contradictory at all and were completed in one smooth motion.

"Damn it!" Bridal cursed under his breath, thinking in alarm, "This beast is immune to 'magical slowness'! What a disaster!"

Fenrit, standing nearby, was equally surprised to see out of the corner of his eye that the Queen Ant was immune to "magical sluggishness".

“This beast is too powerful. 'Magic Slowness' doesn’t work on it at all. You three, hurry up and come help as soon as you’re done,” Bridal said with a hint of anxiety.

Fenritter said, "We know, but hold on a little longer."

A few minutes later, hundreds of man-eating ants had perished at the hands of Fenrit and his two companions. The three seemed to be getting more and more excited as they killed, with several man-eating ants dying with each strike. On the other hand, Brydo was already covered in sweat, with not a single dry tuft of sweat on his body. It seemed that he and the queen ant were evenly matched, with wind blades clashing against wind blades, and neither of them could do anything to the other.

When the last man-eating ant died under Fenrir's ice spike, the queen ant seemed to sense something. Suddenly, she flapped her wings and took flight. Unwilling to continue her entanglement with Brydo, she tried to escape, but was cleaved in two by Chao Bufan's sword and fell to the ground.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo"

Bridal breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "You little rascal, I thought you really wouldn't make a move!"

Chao Bufan said calmly, "I just don't want him to get away—"

Before the word "了" could be uttered, a strange roar of a beast echoed from the depths of the jungle. In the darkness, two huge, eerie green eyes appeared, their pupils like knives, long and cold. Just looking at those eyes, they seemed to be more than half a person's height.

The stench in the air suddenly intensified, and a strange, soft whistling sound came from the depths of the jungle. Everyone was startled and instinctively held their breath.

The shadows shifted, and the dry branches and leaves on the ground rustled. In the blink of an eye, a colossal creature appeared before them.

"Hiss~~~~~~~~~~"

Upon seeing this, everyone gasped in shock. This enormous creature was actually the skeleton of some kind of animal, devoid of blood and flesh, with bare white bones and a bewitching black mist, making it extremely terrifying. It looked like the skeleton of a giant snake, with its head alone being the size of a room. Its upper body floated in mid-air, several feet above the ground, while its hindquarters were completely submerged in darkness.

Two eerie green flames flickered within its hollow eye sockets, as it looked down at the five boys on the ground.

The sudden appearance of such a terrifying skeletal snake sent a chill down even to the extraordinary, and he dared not make a move for a moment.

"Boy, this is the skeleton of a python. Although it has long since died, its skeleton has been enchanted and brought back to life. Can you feel it? The yin energy within this skeleton is extremely strong. For you, it is undoubtedly a great tonic."

The old man's words suddenly echoed in Chao Bufan's mind. Chao Bufan frowned slightly and asked telepathically, "Senior, what do you mean?"

“Absorb and refine all the Yin energy within it. I’m sure it will be even more nourishing than the ghosts you took from that ship.”

"Uh!" Chao Bufan exclaimed in surprise, then said, "Then I'll try—"

"Roar!"

Before Chao Bufan could finish speaking, another beastly roar suddenly rang out from the endless depths of the forest, the sound clearly carrying a hint of anger.

Before anyone could react, the enormous creature suddenly turned its head toward the roar, then, seemingly with fear, it soared into the sky with a "whoosh" and flew away into the distance.

"Stop it quickly, don't let it get away."

A familiar voice rang in everyone's ears, and everyone trembled. They immediately realized what was happening. Chao Bufan quickly moved and chased after it, while Bridal and the others quickly activated their respective flying vehicles and also chased after the white snake skeleton.

Once off the ground, the appearance of the snake skeleton became clear. This white snake skeleton was hundreds of meters long and looked terrifying, but its whole body was shrouded in black smoke. It flew through the air at an extremely fast speed, comparable to lightning.

However, to its utter surprise, someone was faster than it. It had just left the ground and soared into the air when it was intercepted by Chao Bufan after flying only a few hundred feet.

Chao Bufan, wielding the Heaven-Piercing Sword, stood directly in front of the snake's head. Without a word, he slashed out with his sword, aiming a blow at the colossal creature's skull—
