Crisp cracking sounds rang out one after another.
Mcgee hugged the Little Spirit Fox tightly and protected it with his body. Together with countless broken rocks, he fell to the bottom of the pit, making a series of shaking sounds.
Dust flew in the air. In the blink of an eye, Mcgee had been buried by the hot rocks.
The impact was fatal due to the height difference of dozens of meters. Fortunately, he was protected by the earth mystic armor, so he did not suffer too much damage.
Mcgee did not bother to check the wounds on his body. He immediately observed the situation outside through the crack in the rock.
"Master, are you okay?"
The Little Spirit Fox stretched out her paws.
"Shh."
Mcgee quickly covered its mouth.
The loud noise had long awoken the dormant Molten Lizard. It raised its ferocious head. After hearing the Little Spirit Fox's voice, it was walking over.
Dong...
Dong...
With every step it took, there would be a trail of flames on the ground.
A terrifying heat wave swept over, burning his eyes to the point of pain.
"No, I can't just sit here and wait for death!" Mcgee thought to himself.
Mcgee looked around. The space in the cave was narrow, and it was very beneficial to the extremely fast Molten Lizard.
But just as he was trying to think of a way, the Molten Lizard's abdomen suddenly lit up with a ray of light. Then, it opened its mouth wide, and thick fire elements gushed out with majestic energy.
It was the spitting of flames!
The terrifying flames kept washing away the rocks that were burying Mcgee. The hard mineral stones were quickly melted into a lava-like fluid under the erosion of the high temperature.
The earth mystic armor could not stop this!
Mcgee could not wait any longer. He ordered the Little Spirit Fox to blast open a way out with a claw attack.
Roar!
Sensing the aura of life, the Molten Lizard was furious.
"Lowly ant!"
Its abdomen began to light up again. It was obvious that it was condensing the power of the flame.
"Water bomb!"
The Little Spirit Fox immediately swung its tail and condensed water elements, throwing one water bomb after another.
However, the water bomb did not cause any damage to the Molten Lizard. The water quickly evaporated as if it was bathing it.
This was the only way that Little Spirit Fox could counter the Molten Lizard. Unfortunately, its level was too low, and it was not even as high as the Steel Fairy. For this level 6 boss, the other skills were even more useless.
Mcgee could only carry the Little Spirit Fox and retreat. This boss was hard to kill.
The Molten Lizard listened to the sound and determined its position. It immediately locked onto Mcgee's direction and fired a flame spit.
The earthen yellow barrier of the earth mystic armor suddenly lit up and formed a shield in front of Mcgee, splitting the red light that filled the sky into two.
The flame energy continued to attack. The destructive elements that could melt rocks were helpless against the earthen yellow barrier.
However, the light emitted by the earth mystic armor was much dimmer than before.
Seeing that its most powerful skill had failed, the Molten Lizard immediately rushed forward and opened its bloody mouth to bite the Little Spirit Fox and Mcgee.
At this moment, spider silk shot down from above and tied Mcgee's waist.
"Master, we're here to save you!"
The voice of the Heavenly Eye Spider Queen sounded.
Obviously, the Chameleon had called it over.
"Everyone, use your strength together!"
The Steel Fairy immediately flew to the cliff and grabbed the spider silk, pulling it up with all its strength.
The Chameleon also bit the spider silk, pulling it back with all its strength.
With the concerted efforts of the many tamed beasts, they finally pulled Mcgee up a few meters when he was about to be bitten.
Seeing the food in its mouth fly away, the Molten Lizard roared repeatedly.
However, it had used its flame breath twice in a row, so it did not have enough elemental energy to use its skill for the third time in a short period of time.
Mcgee could not help but heave a sigh of relief. It was a living target in the air. He was not sure if the earth mystic armor could protect it a second time as it did just now.
However, the crisis was not over yet.
In the next second, the Molten Lizard's sharp claws smashed into the solid wall of the mine, bringing its body to follow closely behind.
"Children, quickly strengthen the spider silk!"
The Heavenly Eye Spider Queen felt that her spider silk could not withstand the high temperature and was about to break, so she hurriedly shouted.
The four weaker Heavenly Eye Spiders even burned their fur trying to help. But, they endured the pain and went forward to help.
Under the concerted efforts, they finally pulled Mcgee out of the cave.
"Little Spirit Fox, Chameleon, claw attack!"
Mcgee ordered in a deep voice, "Smash down this bedrock, don't Let It Come Up!"
The two beasts immediately took action. Their sharp claws flashed past, leaving a ravine on the ground.
The moment the Molten Lizard climbed up, the rock layer that the high temperature had softened could not bear its heavy body. It broke apart like before and fell straight down.
Roar!
A loud sound came from the bottom of the pit, accompanied by the Molten Lizard's roar.
"Let's go. This won't drag on for long. We have to get out of here as soon as possible."
Mcgee left without looking back. The plan to attack the boss this time had apparently failed.
The Heavenly Eye Spiders could not stand it any longer and quickly crawled out of the cave.
After seeing the light of day again, Mcgee's thoughts were a little heavy.
The strength of the Molten Lizard was beyond his imagination.
Even if he did have the sentries alongside the help of his beasts, they would not be able to break through the tough skin of the Molten Lizard.
However, in general, this expedition was not without gains. At least he knew the specific attributes of the Molten Lizard. Then, when the time came, he could target its weakness and adopt a corresponding strategy.
"It seems that I can only increase my strength first. It's still a little difficult to challenge someone of a higher level."
Mcgee turned to look at the Steel Fairy, who was flying in the air."Steel fairy, do you know what other treasures are nearby?"
Upon hearing the command, the Steel Fairy flew higher and looked down. She crossed her hands in front of her chest as if she was sensing something.
Soon, she flew down and pointed in a direction.
"There, there's a treasure chest."
