The lingering shockwaves of battle reverberated through the air. The clash between the giant bird and the beast was like a cataclysmic disaster, striking deep dread into everyone present. The moment the giant bird was beaten back, their hearts sank as well. They realized this fight would be far more difficult than they had anticipated. A flash of resolute determination crossed Zhang Zhi's eyes; he knew they could not simply sit back and wait to die.
He took a deep breath to steady his emotions, then turned to the middle-aged man and the young man, his voice firm and powerful. "We cannot give up like this. We must find this beast's weakness." The middle-aged man nodded, a light of wisdom twinkling in his eyes. Years of experience told him that every creature had its weakness; the key was discovering it. "Its skin may be tough, but its eyes and mouth are likely its vulnerable spots," he said in a deep voice. The young man gripped his weapon tightly. His face was etched with tension, but even more so with an eager, restless excitement.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's charge right in and deal it a fatal blow!" His words betrayed the impulsiveness and courage typical of a young man. Meanwhile, Lin Wan'er was silently chanting a spell nearby, a faint light gathering in her hands. Although she knew her strength was limited, she was willing to do her absolute best.
