Fortunately, Fang Hong still had the Orphen Twin Stars, which could first block the pursuit from the other side, then retrieve them remotely.
After the first battle failed, Fang Hong quickly adjusted his strategy.
Of course, this doesn't an they have to face off against this big lizard head-on. After all, Fang Hong had encountered the Dark Giant Dragon more than once, and this dumb lizard seed like just a minor obstacle to him. If he wanted to act, ten shots of 'Fire Giant' could reduce it to ashes.
Alternatively, they could risk damage to the Orphen Twin Stars' defenses and fight it head-on, and they might not necessarily lose.
But such a quick approach would be too costly for a normal adventure. A few more tis like this, and the Seven Seas Traveler would go bankrupt.
The combat strategy of a regular adventure group is naturally to minimize losses, as, for most adventure groups, the purpose of adventure is to earn money, not risk their lives or show off. That's why Fang Hong pulled the team back and discussed the strategy with everyone.
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed with Tang Xin's plan.
The Grey-Spotted Jaw Lizard has a skill called 'Rage Scale Flare,' which can make it immune to sixty percent of physical damage for a short ti. It uses this skill after launching a sonic attack to wait for its resonating organ to recharge, and then attacks again.
Under its full-domain sonic attack, the Magic Guided Conductor, Elentalist, and Natural Historian cannot act at all. In this cycle, it's like a thorny hedgehog.
Adventurers usually deal with it using Silence Dust, a Magic Potion Studies byproduct that's cheap but extrely effective. Unfortunately, due to the Adventure Group's unusual past experiences, Fang Hong forgot to prepare these essential items.
They didn't even have a Resonance Crystal, which ans they would have no way to deal with a Rock Shark.
Fang Hong had a headache but couldn't say, "Wait for to return to the workshop on the ship to make so preparations and fight again tomorrow." Luckily, Tang Xin ntioned that the Grey-Spotted Jaw Lizard has a characteristic where, if an enemy gets too close from the front, it will constrict its sonic attack into a fan shape to attack the too-close enemy.
If soone could withstand a direct hit from the Grey-Spotted Jaw Lizard, others could approach it from other directions to entangle it, giving Luo Yu, Gita, and Xiangzi a chance to cast spells.
Fang Hong slapped his forehead, rembering they already had a professional Defender in the team, unlike before when his Construct and the Big Cat People's Paladin had to handle everything up front.
So he patted Luo Hao's shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you."
"Isn't my level too low?" Luo Hao was a bit anxious. He'd just joined the team a few days ago and suspected they were using him as cannon fodder.
"Don't worry, Mr. Reed will support you."
Luo Hao glanced at the Big Catfolk and, seeing that the other's level wasn't low, reluctantly nodded.
He had no choice; he joined this team due to top orders. Being a military Invoker, following directives was his primary responsibility. Fortunately, he knew Fang Hong, whose performance in the recent battle at Morning Dawn Star gave him so confidence.
Sweating heavily, Luo Hao raised his shield and moved forward, shouting, "Big Cat, when I call out, be ready to use your skill."
"Got it, Little Fatty," Reed replied, squinting his silver eyes. The scar on his face was noticeable under the scorching sun. In fact, the Grey-Spotted Lizard is more common in Rota, and it's even the totem of many clans, reminding him of so past events.
The Big Cat replied casually, "Don't worry, you won't need to shout; my judgnt is likely more accurate than yours."
Luo Hao was skeptical.
Everyone approached the creature for the second ti. It detected soone nearing and spat out the tal fragnts it had been chewing—Fang Hong's Clockwork Fairy used to lure the enemy. However, he didn't have ti to mourn his flexible construct and only shouted:
"Everyone, get ready!"
Luo Hao raised his shield and rushed forward.
The Grey-Spotted Jaw Lizard turned its head, and what appeared in its vision was—charging towards it—a wild boar? With its simple visual setup, its monochro perception found it hard to distinguish whether the spherical creature in front was a person or a wild boar, but both seed similar enough.
However, precisely because of this, it was easily enraged. It opened its mouth wide, sending an invisible wave sweeping towards Luo Hao. Sonic attack—Luo Hao imdiately extended the Magic Shield on his shield.
But the thin layer of shield already shattered as it opened, almost sending him flying, realizing these people seed to have sold him out. Suddenly, a pale golden glow spread from behind.
The golden glow resembled a ripple of water, slowly advancing to form a semicircular barrier, shielding Luo Hao inside. The Lion Paladin extended one hand forward, continuously channeling Holy Ether from his Magic Guided Reactor to his hand, supporting the barrier.
The sound wave hit the barrier, rippling outward, dispersing much of the stirred-up dust.
Fang Hong realized this was the new skill Big Cat learned after upgrading in Fanric—Holy Barrier. Inside the barrier, Ether Magic Power consumption reduces damage; every three points of Magical Points reduce one point of damage, with a maximum reduction of forty percent.
Reed's fiery red mane danced in the wind, making him seem extrely imposing, though he said, "My Magic Guided Reactor has only a four-hundred reading, supporting less than five seconds, so you'd better hurry."
