But the faces of Jin Chuyu and Huo Jun also turned much paler.
Chu Jiangyue and Shen Zhigui both realized that their superpowers were nearly depleted.
The two quickly exited their cultivation state and moved closer to Jin Chuyu and Huo Jun.
"Leave this to us, you two go back and recover your superpowers."
The two swiftly took over the area managed by Huo Jun and Jin Chuyu and together bound the mutant elephant that had nearly killed Huo Jun and smashed it into a pile of charred remains.
Jin Chuyu and Huo Jun didn’t push themselves and quickly retreated, sitting cross-legged face to face to start recovering their superpowers.
With Shen Zhigui cooperating, Chu Jiangyue adjusted her combat tactics, controlling the vines in her hands silently to bind the mutant elephant, while Shen Zhigui struck directly with lightning.
However, the mutant elephant’s defense was strong; often, a single strike didn’t cause fatal damage, so Shen Zhigui had to continue launching lightning.
However, Chu Jiangyue’s vines were not just for show; she controlled them to grow thorns and tightened, quickly leaving deep, bone-visible wounds on the mutant elephant.
Due to the pain from its wounds, the mutant elephant soon went berserk, charging madly towards Chu Jiangyue and Shen Zhigui.
Chu Jiangyue felt the power surging from the mutant elephant and held onto the vine tightly, refusing to let go. Her palms were scratched by the leaves of the vine due to her grip.
Shen Zhigui turned his head and saw blood dripping from Chu Jiangyue’s palm, his brows furrowed.
The compressed thunderball he had been holding in his hand for a long time was thrown out directly.
The next second, a loud thunderclap resounded, and Chu Jiangyue felt the ground start to tremble, making it hard for her to stand.
Shen Zhigui quickly grasped Chu Jiangyue’s wrist, helping her stabilize her stance.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
Shen Zhigui didn’t expect that just by throwing a compressed thunderball, such a commotion would be caused.
Seeing Chu Jiangyue struggling to stand, without thinking much, he stepped forward to support her.
Chu Jiangyue looked up at Shen Zhigui, shook her head, and said, "I’m fine, I just don’t know if that mutant elephant is dead."
To survive such a commotion, Chu Jiangyue could only say its vitality was remarkably tenacious.
However, facts proved that the power of the compressed thunderball was indeed formidable, not only killing that mutant elephant but also injuring another nearby one.
"Those two pieces of ivory don’t seem to have taken any damage?"
Chu Jiangyue used vines to drag back the two massive pieces of ivory.
"This ivory, it feels useful."
[Harvested mutant elephant ivory, unlocked weapons module, experience points +5000]
!!!
They actually unlocked the weapons module!
Just a pair of ivory actually unlocked the weapons module!
But now is not the time to check it out; the herd of mutant elephants isn’t fully dealt with yet.
Chu Jiangyue suppressed her emotions, continuing to work with Shen Zhigui to slay more mutant elephants.
Even though Chu Jiangyue wasn’t sure if anything else was useful, she suspected the ivory would likely serve as a refining material.
And Shen Zhigui also noticed that after Chu Jiangyue obtained the mutant elephant ivory, she became noticeably more excited, visibly improving her mood.
Although he didn’t know the reason, seeing the smile on Chu Jiangyue’s face, Shen Zhigui couldn’t help but feel much better himself.
With the weapons module in play, Chu Jiangyue’s attacks became much more vigorous.
Chu Jiangyue’s excitement manifested in her moves becoming even more brutal while killing the mutant elephants.
