Er Meng watched the rampaging Dragonhorn Elephant and gritted his teeth. This won't do; we don't have the stamina to outlast the Dragonhorn Elephant. We need to attack!
"Da Hei!" Er Meng shouted, catching Da Hei's attention as he anxiously looked at the children being chased by the Dragonhorn Elephant. Hearing his name, Da Hei turned around.
Noticing Er Meng pointing at the Dragonhorn Elephant, he immediately ran toward it. Although Da Hei didn't fully understand what was happening, he followed suit and charged at the Dragonhorn Elephant.
The Dragonhorn Elephant was turning around, moving slowly, allowing Er Meng and Da Hei to catch up with it.
"Let's each hit one of its legs!"
"Okay!"
"Stone Fist!"
The Stone Fist was the most basic martial art of Shi Village. While its power wasn't particularly strong, it allowed one to unleash their full strength. With nearly a thousand pounds of force behind it, even the Dragonhorn Elephant felt something; its hind legs faltered slightly.
The Dragonhorn Elephant stopped and turned to see what had attacked it, realizing it was just like the small creatures it had been chasing. Although it couldn't comprehend why such a small thing could inflict pain, it didn't seem to care much. It merely felt a slight sting and thought that a few more punches wouldn't matter.
After landing a punch on the Dragonhorn Elephant, Er Meng and Da Hei quickly dodged away, fearing a retaliatory kick. They exchanged glances, one of them drawing the Dragonhorn Elephant's attention while the other took the opportunity to strike at its rear.
They targeted the same spot repeatedly; even with tough skin and thick flesh, it would eventually give way. The Dragonhorn Elephant, though aggressive, wasn't mindless. After feeling significant pain from their blows, it stood still, occasionally glancing at Er Meng and Da Hei.
Seeing that the Dragonhorn Elephant had stopped moving, Er Meng and Da Hei began circling around it. However, after a while, they realized that this stalemate wouldn't work; their attacks weren't causing enough damage. The Dragonhorn Elephant had no visible wounds—just bruises that would fade with time.
If this continued, they would surely be unable to defeat it.
"No, it's not just the two of them!" Er Meng realized and waved at the other children from Shi Village, who were hesitating a bit and seemed afraid to approach.
The children hesitated for a moment but eventually gathered around. However, they kept their distance from the Dragonhorn Elephant. Even though the Dragonhorn Elephant noticed the group of children approaching, it merely observed them without charging forward. This gave Er Meng and the others a chance to communicate.
The young Dragonhorn Elephant was indeed powerful for us, and it moved quickly, but it wasn't very agile, and its defenses weren't particularly strong. If we attacked a specific spot, we could still hurt it.
"How do you know we can hurt it?" Pi Monkey asked.
Er Meng pointed at the stationary Dragonhorn Elephant. "See? It hasn't moved. Our attack just now hurt it, which is why it's not rampaging like before."
Everyone looked over and noticed that the Dragonhorn Elephant was indeed standing still.
Our strength isn't actually that different; if we attack together, we can definitely defeat it. However, our fists aren't effective enough. Let's ask Li Yunqing if he can bring some Wu Yan.
"Sure," Li Yunqing replied, easily hearing the children's conversation. With a wave of his hand, a bunch of smaller Wu Yan appeared beside the children.
They looked small only in comparison to adults; for the children, they were just right. These were ordinary Wu Yan, but they would be sufficient to deal with a young Dragonhorn Elephant.
The children hurried over to grab their favorite Wu Yan from the pile. The Dragonhorn Elephant was startled by the sudden appearance of so many items and looked at the children holding Wu Yan with a sense of danger.
It had gone from being a toothless creature to one with tusks—its level of threat had changed!
Taking advantage of the fact that many children were still selecting their gear, the Dragonhorn Elephant charged toward them, its body emanating a blood-red aura as it did so.
Stampede!
The blood-red aura around the Dragonhorn Elephant slowly transformed into a larger phantom of itself, increasing the area of impact as it charged forward. The heavy footsteps of the approaching Dragonhorn Elephant naturally caught the attention of the children.
Er Meng and Da Hei looked over and saw the Dragonhorn Elephant charging towards them.
"Damn it, it's coming! Everyone get to the side, we can't take that charge head-on!" Er Meng shouted. The children, seeing the Dragonhorn Elephant approaching, immediately scattered in all directions.
