The next day, which was Tuesday morning, the residents of Jeffery Town heard that the lord was going to challenge the giant beast at the bottom of the lake again.
Those who had seen the giant beast yesterday followed again, and those who had not seen the giant beast yesterday also followed because they wanted to see it.
In a short time, almost all the people in Jeffery Town appeared by the lake, and some even ran to the neighboring villages to call some villagers to see the giant beast.
A large area of the reeds by the lake had been flattened. Now, no one was afraid of the monsters that often came ashore from the lake. Even the giant beast in the lake had become a topic of conversation for everyone.
While discussing the giant beast, everyone stared at the lord pacing by the lake. They speculated: the lord seemed to be thinking about how to eliminate the giant beast.
In fact, Hobert was considering how to end the situation with so many spectators today.
After the verification last night, the best way to defeat the giant beast was actually to pray to himself and let the "Bull Demon King" deal with the giant beast again.
But now that so many people had come, it was different. It was best for the lord to defeat the giant beast himself, so that everyone would be impressed by the lord's martial virtue and form a new, strong sense of identity.
This would greatly help with the digestion of the potion, and there was even a high probability of completely digesting the potion.
Since there was such a purpose, he had no choice but to use the tactics he had thought of yesterday to challenge the giant beast at the bottom of the lake, instead of "finding a helper."
So, in full view of everyone, Hobert once again stepped into Full Moon Lake.
This caused everyone to exclaim. People who had never seen this scene did not expect the lord to enter the lake bottom in this way. The lord's breath was long enough! It was estimated that the distance from the lake shore to the deep-water area was quite far.
On the opposite mountain, Viscount Teuton, of course, had already prepared his telescope and began to spy on the situation by the lake again.
Because of his previous exploration experience, Hobert simply swam quickly to the top of the underwater forest, using himself as bait to attract the giant beast.
Soon, the lake water stirred again. Hobert immediately felt that his body was showing signs of abnormality and loss of control. Sure enough, the giant beast had such abilities!
Hobert immediately injected spirituality into the "Order Crystal". A black shield-like barrier appeared around him, effectively blocking the process of abnormality and loss of control.
Suddenly, Hobert felt ropes binding him. He looked down and saw that at some point, a piece of seaweed had floated not far from him. It grew rapidly, like a green tentacle, wrapping around Hobert's body.
Hobert struggled a bit, and it was more resilient than expected.
So he quickly used "Blink" to leave the position he was in.
As Hobert had expected, in the next second, the giant beast's giant mouth appeared again, and it almost bit Hobert.
After breaking free from the seaweed, Hobert used another "Blink" to come behind the giant beast, attempting to approach the giant beast's back.
Although the giant beast was huge, it moved nimbly in the water. It immediately turned its body and bit at Hobert again.
Hobert waited for the giant beast to approach, watching the bloody mouth getting bigger and bigger. Just as he felt the huge suction, Hobert used "Blink" again, coming above the bloody mouth and touching the giant beast's head with his hand.
However, the suction generated by the giant beast's bloody mouth was greater than Hobert had expected. He was immediately sucked into the giant beast's mouth.
The giant beast did not expect that Hobert would take the initiative to come to its door. It immediately closed its giant mouth and swallowed downwards.
Hobert felt as if he was in a torrent. He quickly pulled out his knife with the help of the "Ocean Pendant" and stabbed it into the giant beast's throat to temporarily stabilize his body.
Hobert quickly placed his hand on the giant beast's throat again. The giant beast and the lake water in front of Hobert suddenly became illusory. Hobert took the giant beast into the spirit world.
What was more magical was that even in the giant beast's throat, Hobert could clearly see the scene in the spirit world.
Taking advantage of the giant beast's obvious daze, Hobert fiercely cut open the giant beast's flesh, opening a hole in its throat that was big enough for one person to crawl out of.
Soon, the giant beast and Hobert left the spirit world and came to a valley full of gravel and only a few plants.
This was the tactic Hobert had considered yesterday. He knew that he had no chance of killing the giant beast underwater, because that was the giant beast's home field, and because several powerful abilities could not be used underwater.
For example, "Lightning Strike". Even if lightning struck the giant beast, water conducts electricity, and Hobert felt that he would definitely be electrocuted.
And "Holy Light", the huge heat, it is estimated that the surrounding lake water could be burned into boiling water. The giant beast would be uncomfortable, and Hobert would be even more uncomfortable.
This rocky valley was not far south of Jeffery Town. If you were going to "Sapphire Manor" for a vacation, this was the only way to go.
Hobert had passed by here when he left "Sapphire Manor" before. The entire valley was full of rocks, and there was no place for vegetation to grow.
Moreover, there was no one living nearby. When Hobert was considering tactics yesterday, he felt that this place was suitable as a battlefield.
So he came to explore again yesterday and finally decided to send the giant beast here and solve it here.
As long as he risked bringing the giant beast here, his tactics would be half successful, because in terms of the environment, this place was unfavorable to the giant beast that lived underwater.
However, the degree of risk in approaching the giant beast still exceeded Hobert's imagination. If he did not have the "Ocean Pendant" to control the water flow, he would have been sucked into the giant beast's stomach.
Although he didn't know what the situation was inside, the giant beast had been trying to swallow Hobert, which meant that its stomach had a way to subdue Hobert.
As soon as he appeared in the real world, Hobert immediately crawled out of the cut-open hole. He was surprised to find that if he was any later, the huge hole would have healed.
The giant beast quickly recovered. It shook its head violently, throwing Hobert, who was on its neck, out.
In mid-air, Hobert threw the "Order Wood" in his hand into the crack in the stone: "Order!"
By the time Hobert landed, the "Order Wood", which was more than ten meters high and tens of meters wide, had already taken shape.
The giant beast roared and rammed its huge body into the "Order Wood", but only shook the "Order Wood" slightly.
Here, the giant beast completely lost the environment that was beneficial to it. Without the help of the lake water, its limbs made its movements very slow.
Because of the sparse vegetation around it, and Hobert's use of the "Order Crystal" to resist loss of control and abnormality, the power of its Beyonder abilities was greatly reduced.
The giant beast now only had brute strength left, which made it angrily raise its neck and roar: "Woo~"
At this time, Hobert would certainly not approach the other party. He threw out a "Disorder Stone": "Disorder!"
Under the "Order Wood", circles of invisible black ripples rippled out, but the giant beast only glared at Hobert and did not have any effect at all.
Obviously, the giant beast used its ability to neutralize the power of the "Disorder Stone".
But it didn't matter. Hobert completed the process of "bribery" in the process: "Weakness!"
The giant beast's level was obviously higher than Sequence 5, but it had not reached the level of Sequence 4. Hobert's weakening had a limited impact on it.
"Lightning Strike!" Hobert used the speed advantage of being able to fly low to unscrupulously attack the giant beast that could only crawl slowly.
"Lightning Strike" hit the giant beast's back, scorching a large area.
Hobert did not give the other party any chance to breathe: "Holy Light!"
The huge light fell, almost submerging the entire giant beast.
When the light dissipated, the giant beast's skin became dry, cracked and black. The light just now made it close its eyes. At this time, it suddenly opened its eyes and roared again.
"Holy Light" made it temporarily lose its mind. It instinctively used its Beyonder power to make the surrounding vegetation more lush, no longer stingy with its Beyonder power and spirituality.
The weeds and small shrubs that grew out of the cracks in the rocks immediately grew wildly. The rocky valley, which had been desolate for who knows how many years, was actually half covered in green.
As the giant beast regained its sanity, it immediately stopped the consumption of spirituality that was causing the vegetation to grow wildly.
Then the giant beast twisted its body, and the dark skin and flesh fell off. The places on its back that were scorched by "Lightning Strike" and "Holy Light" healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hobert, who was in the low air not far away, pondered for a while and immediately summoned the wind blade.
However, the giant beast's skin's defensive power was also quite strong. Only a few wind blades cut open its skin, but it healed quickly.
Hobert frowned. This self-healing ability was also strong!
Taking advantage of the gap in Hobert's attack, the giant beast chose to escape out of the valley, which forced Hobert to keep attacking. He first stole the giant beast's idea of leaving, and then immediately used "Madness" when the other party had just regained its thinking.
Then it was "Lightning Strike", and then it was "Holy Light".
Hobert sadly discovered that even on land, he did not have many abilities that could harm the giant beast.
After the second "Holy Light", the temperature in the valley continued to rise, and it had basically reached the level of summer.
Hobert was not discouraged and used "Wind Blade", "Lightning Strike" and "Holy Light" again.
After the third round of attacks, the giant beast's self-healing ability obviously slowed down, and it was panting heavily, and breathing seemed very difficult.
Hobert pursed his lips and smiled. Under the blessing of the "Order Wood", he kept "distorting" the surrounding environment. Now those "twists" have finally accumulated and are taking effect.
The entire valley had become extremely dry and oxygen-deficient. For this kind of amphibian-like giant beast, dryness would make it very weak.
And oxygen deficiency was a fatal blow. This kind of huge creature needed a lot of oxygen. Once the oxygen content was reduced, it would be difficult for it to survive for too long.
At this time, Hobert was already a little uncomfortable with the oxygen content, let alone the giant beast in front of him.
Soon, the giant beast no longer had the strength to escape, but Hobert's attack continued: "Wind Blade! Lightning Strike! Holy Light!"
Hobert took a deep breath. He had consumed too much spirituality, and he had to rest a little.
At this time, the giant beast no longer had the strength to shake off the scorched wounds and flesh on its back from "Lightning Strike" and "Holy Light" like before.
Hobert flew to the outside of the canopy of the "Order Wood" and gasped for a few breaths. He was still constantly "twisting" the environment under the canopy, just quietly watching the giant beast become weaker and weaker, and fall to the ground and groan in pain.
Now the "Order Wood" could last for fifteen minutes. Hobert waited patiently for eleven or twelve minutes. The giant beast seemed to have fainted from lack of oxygen.
Only then did Hobert carefully approach the giant beast with a knife. The giant beast felt Hobert's malice. It wanted to bite Hobert again, but it just opened its mouth and could not move its head at all.
Hobert was wary of any accidents and quickly "Blinked" to the giant beast's head, looking at the giant beast's unwilling eyes, looking at the skin that had become very dry due to the dry environment, and fiercely stabbed the Tang knife into its head.
The giant beast used its last strength to twist its body, but it still could not stand up.
Hobert slashed hard, and the sharp Tang knife cut open the giant beast's skull, leaving a deep scar in its brain.
The last trace of the giant beast's spirituality dissipated, causing the valley, which had previously turned green, to bloom with beautiful flowers.
At this time, the "Order Wood" also quickly withered and turned into an ordinary wooden stick.
Hobert looked at the flowers: "At least you left a trace in this world."
Then he smiled: "I heard that dinosaurs died from food shortages and lack of oxygen. Huge things have the advantage of being huge, but once you leave the environment that makes you comfortable, you will immediately lose your advantages!"
He sat next to the giant beast for a while, recovered the "Order Wood" and the "Disorder Stone", and then used "Travel" again to return to the bottom of Full Moon Lake.
The rocky valley where they had fought later became "Hundred Flowers Valley", covered with flowers and green, and became an attraction of "Sapphire Manor".
Hobert, who returned to Full Moon Lake, was preparing to drag the giant beast's body to the surface immediately, but then he thought that if he went back like this, it would not be in line with the "storyline" of having gone through a fierce battle.
So he began to use the "Ocean Pendant" to manipulate the water flow of Full Moon Lake, sometimes spraying up like a fountain, and sometimes spinning like a whirlpool.
The people on the shore saw these "visions" and sure enough pointed and discussed how fierce the battle was at the bottom of the lake.
After tossing for a few minutes, Hobert felt that his spirituality was about to dry up, and then he finally floated to the surface: "Find two thick ropes!"
Fors and Seel, who had been sweating for Hobert on the lake shore, quickly found ropes and threw them into Full Moon Lake.
The lord's subjects also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the lord had won.
Hobert wrapped the ropes around the giant beast's upper and lower jaws respectively, and floated to the surface again: "Pull!"
At this time, there were hundreds of people on the shore, and the young adults among them pulled the ropes under Seel's organization.
The two ropes immediately tightened. At first, when it was at the edge of the deep-water area, it was not very heavy. As the giant beast's body entered the shallow water area, it gradually became heavier.
When pulling it to the shore, everyone was not only surprised by the giant beast's size, but also had to use all their strength to continue pulling the giant beast up.
"The lord has defeated the giant beast!"
"Long live the lord!"
When the giant beast's body was completely exposed to the water, everyone cheered and spread the news.
