Chapter 147: Strong As You May Be, the Yellow Bird Catches the Mantis

Swish!

Since the Water Skeleton Mage can fight, Jiang Chen doesn't hold back.

He immediately released all the Water Skeleton Mages, a total of 28.

Within the Elemental Secret Realm, the elements are in extreme chaos.

After the Water Elemental General was defeated, only the Water Skeleton Mages could cast skills.

Skill: Ice Storm!

A torrent of Ice Rain poured onto the Fire Elemental General, instantly filling him with intense cold.

The Water Elemental General roared continuously, launching round after round of attacks.

Fire Pillars continuously spurted, turning into fire rain across the sky.

There is an Elemental Resistance Skill that reduces elemental damage on the Skeleton Warrior and Jiang Chen by a full threefold.

Although the Skeleton Warrior appears to be engulfed in flames, in reality his injuries are not severe.

As long as the opponent's skill lacks a control effect, they need not worry.

Jiang Chen and Lin Caier, clad in Bone Armor, stand in the fire rain unscathed.

The Fire Elemental General's wounds worsen, his size shrinks, and his flames gradually lose their luster.

It realizes its life is in danger, and its roar grows even fiercer.

Skill: Fire Sea Explosion!

The entire Fire Element world erupts at this moment.

The ground trembles as if struck by a magnitude‑10 earthquake, Boom—.

Jiang Chen holds Lin Caier tightly, straining to keep his balance.

All the fire elements converge, unleashing countless Fire Pillars that become a sea of fire.

In the next instant, the fire sea explodes violently!

Lin Caier jumps at the sudden explosion sound, quickly covering her ears.

Explosion after explosion rises and falls, and in an instant the entire Fire Element world is engulfed by violent blasts.

Amid the explosions, the Skeletons are flung up, and the Fire Elemental General launches another attack.

Jiang Chen and

Lin Caier, relying on the Bone Armor, stands as steady as a mountain.

The Fire Elemental General completes his final burst, but it proves useless.

The Skeleton Warrior lands and immediately pounces again, continuing the assault.

From this moment, the Fire Elemental General has no capacity to resist.

With a wail, it shatters into fragments.

Flames spray in all directions like a brilliant fireworks display, finally reaching its peak.

"Kill Level 37 Fire Elemental General, Experience +1486598"

"Obtain Fire Elemental Crystal Core ×10"

The elemental monster leaves no corpse, only clusters of ignited flames as proof of its existence.

After the Fire Elemental General's death, the fire element world still persists, but it is noticeably weakened.

The chaotic elements gradually calm down.

The Fire-type Skeleton Mages can also smoothly cast their skills.

"What element comes next?" Lin Caier squints and asks softly.

"Wind Element." Jiang Chen has already sensed the presence of wind.

The Wind Element is ever‑changing, sometimes gentle, sometimes ferocious.

As they traverse the Fire Element world and enter the Wind Element Realm, a five‑person squad appears at the entrance of the Elemental Secret Realm.

The squad consists of a single Knight, two Supports, and two Damage dealers, a very standard composition.

They wear the distinctive attire of Bangzi Country professionals, somewhat reminiscent of the Shenlong Empire and also of the Shadow Transformation Nation.

Somewhat mismatched.

"Boss, we didn't expect you to actually find us."

"The Elemental Secret Realm, we've been searching for so many days, and finally found it."

"Strange, wasn't it said that the Elemental Secret Realm is full of Elemental Spirits? How come there isn't a single one?"

Several squad members show puzzled expressions, the Elemental Secret Realm's

entrance does not match the information they have.

Che Yingjun looks at the entrance of the Elemental Secret Realm: "Someone must have already entered."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in quickly; if we're late, it'll be too late."

"We didn't expect others to get there first."

They all show signs of urgency.

Che Yingjun, however, is not in a hurry: "No need to rush; they haven't been inside long, I can sense the lingering elemental aura."

"With others clearing the way, we can also save some effort."

"As long as we arrive before they kill the Secret Realm BOSS, that's all we need."

"Isn't there a saying in the Shenlong Empire, 'The mantis catches the cicada, the yellow bird follows'? Today we will be the yellow bird."

Che Yingjun adopts a confident demeanor, prompting laughter from the squad.

"The boss is right, why are we in a hurry."

"As long as we are the ones who kill the final BOSS, that's enough."

It would be best to eliminate them together with the BOSS when they're fighting to the death.

That's a good idea.

The five of them entered the Instance, chatting and laughing, with relaxed expressions.

As soon as they entered the Instance, they saw a massive Ice Palace.

A mage in the party cast a Skill.

A crisp sound rang out, and waves of sound spread into the Ice Palace.

After a while, the mage's eyes brightened: "Found the path, follow me."

Jiang Chen and Lin Caier'er moved forward in the Wind Elemental Spirit world.

The Wind Elemental Spirit was extremely active and ever‑changing, sometimes like a spring breeze gently caressing the cheeks, pleasant and comfortable.

At other times it was like a blade, triggering Bone Armor.

Lin Caier'er suddenly grabbed Jiang Chen, pointing at the sky: "So many."

In the air floated clusters of pale‑blue clouds, but on closer inspection they weren't clouds at all

—they were Wind Elemental Spirits.

They clustered together, overlapping, looking just like clouds.

Just as Lin Caier'er discovered them, they also discovered Lin Caier'er.

The cloud clusters burst, and the sky became densely filled with Wind Elemental Spirits, surrounding the two.

The Wind Elemental Spirits swirled around the two, quickly forming a tornado.

Jiang Chen and Lin Caier'er were in the eye of the storm.

Wind Balls shot out from the wind, bombarding the two like raindrops, essentially treating them as targets.

Bone Armor flashed with dazzling light, blocking all attacks.

Jiang Chen tapped a finger, releasing Water‑Fire Skeleton Mages; the Skeleton Mages began dueling the Wind Elemental Spirits.

At the same time, Jiang Chen raised his palm, and a massive red net fell from the sky.

Skill: Slow Curse!

The tornado instantly dissipated, and each Wind Elemental Spirit sprouted a blood‑red shackles above its head, reducing speed by 39 times; even the fastest Wind Elemental Spirits were completely slowed.

Skeleton Warriors leapt up, attacking the Wind Elemental Spirits in the air.

Forty‑six Water‑Fire Skeleton Mages also continuously cast spells.

Wind Elemental Spirits were eliminated one by one; in the blink of an eye, hundreds were completely wiped out.

Boom!

A thunderclap shook the Wind Elemental Spirit world.

The cloud clusters in the sky burst, turning into individual Wind Elemental Spirits.

The Wind Elemental Spirits ignored Jiang Chen and Lin Caier'er, collectively flying toward one direction.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly: "Something's off."

Lin Caier'er asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chen looked ahead; a massive black object floated in mid‑air, with countless Elemental Spirits rushing into it.

Boom!

The thunderclap sounded again.

Lightning ripped across the sky.

Thunder and lightning roared.

"What is this?" Lin Caier'er said, eyes filled with shock.

Jiang Chen replied, "That's a storm; the Wind Element and the Electric Element have combined, forming a storm."

But this storm has no rain, only gale winds and lightning.

Detection Technique shot out.

"Wind‑Electric Elemental Body (Secret Realm Boss)"

Wind-Electric Elemental Body (Secret Realm Boss)

"Power: 0"

"Agility: 5000"

"Spirit: 10000"

"Constitution: 9000"

"Skill: Lightning, Gale, Wind‑Thunder Strike"

"Trait: Physical attack damage halved, immune to Wind Element, immune to Electric Element"

The Wind‑Thunder Elemental Body, formed from the Wind Element and the Electric Element, rolled toward Jiang Chen.

With 0 Power, it has no physical attack capability.

Its Agility of 5000 means its speed is not very fast.

Its Spirit of 10000 makes its elemental attack power considerable.

Its body is enormous, over 200 meters in diameter, giving a massive sense of pressure.

Gale howls; even when a thousand meters away, the massive wind pressure already makes one unable to stand.

The wind pressure sweeps like a blade, and Bone Armor emits White Light, ensuring Jiang Chen remains unaffected.

Wind pressure sweeps like a blade, Bone Armor emits White Light, guaranteeing Jiang Chen is unaffected.

Lightning leapt across kilometers, striking Jiang Chen, forming a beautiful electric arc on the Bone Armor.

Lightning crossed a thousand‑meter distance and struck Jiang Chen, forming a beautiful electric arc on the Bone Armor.

The Skeleton Warrior already sprang forth in response, charging toward the Wind‑Electric Elemental Body at several hundred meters per second.

Jiang Chen raised his hand, and Red Light fell.

With a buzzing sound, a massive shackle appeared on the Wind‑Electric Elemental Body.

Its speed was never very fast, and now it slowed down completely, drifting slowly through the air.

It posed no threat at all to Jiang Chen and Lin Caier.
