Normally speaking.
Lin Ze only needed to stall the death knell and patiently wait for rescue to arrive.
There's absolutely no need to waste time and effort killing that fourth-tier ferocious beast.
However, Lin Ze had a vague premonition that killing the Death Knell might allow him to achieve a certain accomplishment.
This is also a good opportunity to explore the patterns of achievement.
Therefore, when using the Burst Card, Lin Ze had already decided to kill the Death Knell Striker.
His answer left Zhang Lei and the others stunned.
The adventurers around who heard this looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to say.
Ice Crystal Soul had the upper hand in the battle against the Death Knell.
But this advantage is probably not enough for it to defeat its opponent.
Even if a victor is determined, it will be after a long period of fighting.
With countless death knell beetles still surrounding them, the final outcome of this battle remains uncertain.
If everyone really had to choose, it would be safer to keep the death knell in check.
Anyway, time is on their side.
If you harbor murderous intent and end up making things worse, you'll be left with nothing but regret.
However, given Lin Ze's strength, no one dared to question or ridicule him at this moment.
Instead, many people secretly wondered if Lin Ze had other trump cards up his sleeve?
For example, the second strange object?
Finally, Rhoda couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question.
"Brother Lin, do you perhaps possess other extraordinary items?"
"No."
Lin Ze denied it decisively.
He does have one more Power Boost Card, but it can only be used on pets and cannot be stacked, so it's completely useless right now.
Upon hearing Lin Ze's denial, the confusion on everyone's faces deepened.
If you don't have any special items, how do you plan to take down the Death Knell?
You can't just go in empty-handed, can you?
Lin Ze didn't explain further, and directly brought up his personal panel, his gaze falling on the Soul Arts section.
The achievements "Slaying a Hundred Beasts" and "Slaying a Thousand Beasts" contributed a total of 800 achievement points to him.
After deducting the cost of increasing the growth of Ice Crystal Soul, there are still more than 700 points left.
Without hesitation, Lin Ze consumed 100 achievement points to upgrade Soul Arrow to level two.
[Soul Arrow (Level 2), requires 150 Achievement Points to upgrade]
Keep upgrading!
[Soul Arrow (Tier 3), requires 200 Achievement Points to upgrade]
continue!
[Soul Arrow (Level 4), requires 300 Achievement Points to upgrade]
[Soul Arrow (Level 5), requires 500 Achievement Points to upgrade]
Lin Ze didn't stop until he had upgraded the Soul Arrow to level five.
Then.
He looked up at the distant tolling bell.
Rhoda and the others had been watching Lin Ze's actions closely, and were very puzzled about how he planned to take down the Death Knell.
Seeing him make a move, they immediately focused their attention, afraid of missing any moment.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Lin Ze stretched out his palm, and a silver-gray soul power arrow materialized out of thin air in front of his palm.
"Soul arrow?"
Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with astonishment.
They never expected that Lin Ze would actually plan to use soul magic to deal with the Death Knell Ringer.
Moreover, they used Soul Arrows.
It's important to know that Soul Arrow is one of the most basic and widely used soul techniques.
Nine out of the ten beast tamers present had mastered the Soul Arrow.
They were very familiar with the power of this soul technique.
Judging from Lin Ze's age, he has probably only recently come into contact with soul techniques, and at most he has only cultivated his soul arrows to the first or second level.
Soul arrows of this level are adequate for dealing with first and second-tier ferocious beasts.
Dealing with a fourth-tier ferocious beast... it's probably not even enough to tickle it.
What role can it play?
Everyone was immediately disappointed.
However, the next second, they saw the soul arrow in front of Lin Ze's palm shoot out, crossing a hundred meters in a flash, and accurately hitting the back of the Death Knell Striker.
boom!
The deafening roar of exploding artillery shells seemed to echo in everyone's ears.
Amidst the deafening roar, the bell-struck creature's hard shell suddenly exploded, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"roar!"
In excruciating pain, the toller of the death knell let out a wail.
Rhoda and the others were already frozen in place, staring dumbfounded at the scene before them.
This...this is a Soul Arrow?!
Its power is far greater than that of artillery shells!
In a short time.
Everyone felt a sense of absurdity, as if they were in a dream, and wondered if they were seeing things.
"Is...is this really that Soul Arrow?"
"...It should be correct."
"That's way too intense!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen a soul arrow like this!"
Exclamations of amazement were heard continuously.
Everyone was terrified by Lin Ze's powerful soul arrow.
Even Rhoda's face was filled with shock at this moment.
"This power... the Soul Arrow level has been cultivated to at least level five!"
As a seasoned Bronze Beastmaster, Rhoda's skill in soul arts was naturally quite impressive.
The level of that soul arrow was immediately apparent.
Heaven have mercy.
He had devoted himself to soul arts for more than ten years, but the highest level soul art he had ever created was only level four.
How long has Lin Ze been exposed to soul techniques at his age?
It hasn't even been a year yet!
In this way, he also simultaneously cultivated Soul Protection and Soul Power Impact.
To be able to cultivate the Soul Arrow to level five under such circumstances shows that one's Soul Art talent is simply monstrous.
"Did this guy start repairing chains from the womb?"
Similar thoughts involuntarily flashed through the minds of all the adventurers present, including Rhoda.
Lin Ze was unaware of what others were thinking, nor did he care; his mind was entirely focused on supporting Ice Crystal Soul.
The power of the Level 5 Soul Arrow has increased dramatically, but the consumption remains the same at 10 Soul Power.
Furthermore, it adds new techniques for releasing multiple numbers.
Lin Ze still had over a hundred points of soul power left, so he simply condensed ten soul arrows at once and unleashed them all at the Bell Toller.
Its massive size made it very difficult for the toller to dodge.
There was no time to dodge; it swallowed all the soul arrows whole.
In the blink of an eye.
Blood splattered from the body of the one who struck the death knell, and mournful wails continued incessantly.
Taking advantage of the situation, Ice Crystal Soul relentlessly attacked the fallen opponent, spamming skills at him as if they were free.
In just a short moment.
The one who tolls the death knell becomes battered and bruised, his defeat already evident.
At this point, the outcome was no longer in doubt.
Lin Ze stopped and did not continue to release soul techniques, leaving the remaining cleanup to Ice Crystal Soul.
A moment later.
With a mournful cry, the death knell struck, and the mountain-like body crashed to the ground. Blood from its wounds slowly pooled beneath it, and it soon lost its life.
Its death also caused panic among the insect swarm, with many death knell beetles turning tail and running away.
Most of the death knell beetles were just wandering around aimlessly like headless flies.
The previous unified action is no longer possible.
The incessant hissing of insects and beasts echoed above the canyon.
On the other hand, let's look at the adventurers.
There was complete silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them, feeling completely disoriented, unable to come to their senses for a long time.
