Before Su Yuan, a series of attribute information about the stone giant appeared, giving him a headache.
If it were an ordinary Excellent-quality Lord-level First Order Vicious Beast, Su Yuan would have the confidence to confront it.
However, the Sandstorm Stone Giant in front of him was of Perfect Three-star quality!
The difference between Perfect-quality and Excellent-quality Vicious Beasts was not small.
Especially since this Sandstorm Stone Giant was an Elemental Vicious Beast, making it extremely troublesome.
Elemental Vicious Beasts, unless their elemental core is destroyed in one blow, even if they are torn to pieces, it will be useless.
If you can't find its core, you can't kill it.
As long as an Elemental Vicious Beast's elemental core remains, even if only the core is left, it can quickly re-condense the surrounding elements and restore itself.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
As Su Yuan observed the stone giant's attributes, the stone giant in front of him quickly pounded its chest several times with both hands, emitting deafening sounds and sending sand flying.
The Sandstorm Stone Giant took a step and suddenly charged towards Su Yuan.
Unlike Lord-level Vicious Beasts such as the Volcanic Raven King and the Obsidian Python, the Sandstorm Stone Giant, as an Elemental Vicious Beast, had no mouth or nose, and thus could not express its anger at being suddenly brought into this strange area.
Facing an Emperor-level Expert like He Qiang, it couldn't muster any resistance and could only bury itself underground in frustration.
Now that it had encountered a pushover like Su Yuan, the Sandstorm Stone Giant naturally wanted to vent its emotions fiercely.
As it charged towards Su Yuan, the ground beneath Xiao You softened, turning into a funnel that continuously collapsed downwards, causing Xiao You to stumble as if standing in quicksand.
"Not good!"
"Xiao Yan, come out!"
Su Yuan instantly noticed the change in the ground beneath Xiao Yan's feet, raised an eyebrow, and exclaimed.
With a thought, he knew this was the Sandstorm Stone Giant's Quicksand Trap.
After a shout, Su Yuan quickly recalled Xiao You into his beast taming bracelet.
At the same time, he swiftly summoned Xiao Yan, seamlessly jumping onto Xiao Yan's back, and letting Xiao Yan carry him directly into the air.
Although the Lord-level Sandstorm Stone Giant was powerful, it was not a flying-type Vicious Beast after all.
Even if it reached the Lord-level, it might not be able to fly.
Now he had exited the steel labyrinth behind him.
Without the ceiling blocking them, the sky was the limit.
Su Yuan's current idea was to ascend as high as possible, out of the Sandstorm Stone Giant's attack range.
This way, Xiao Yan could carry him over the Sandstorm Stone Giant's area and fly towards Illusory Moon City, twenty miles away, avoiding a battle.
However, Su Yuan's idea was beautiful, but reality was contrary to his wishes.
As soon as he stepped onto Xiao Yan's back, a violent sandstorm swept towards him.
Every grain of sand in the storm carried astonishing energy, like a sharp knife, with a terrifying cutting force.
Su Yuan had no doubt that every grain of sand in this storm could easily penetrate the defenses of an Transcendent Level Vicious Beast.
Buzz!!!
Xiao Yan's reaction was also extremely fast, quickly erecting a flame barrier around himself, protecting both him and Su Yuan.
The endless sandstorm came, but all of it was blocked by Xiao Yan's flame barrier.
The sandstorm that touched Xiao Yan's flame barrier quickly turned into molten lava.
Although these sandstorms were blocked, Xiao Yan's speed was greatly affected when trying to fly through the sandstorm.
The Sandstorm Stone Giant charging from behind had already reached out to grab them.
A hundred-zhang palm, entirely composed of sand, suddenly slammed down towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, with a wingspan of a hundred meters, appeared tiny under this giant sand palm; it could be grasped in the palm with just one squeeze.
Boom!!!
Of course, Xiao Yan did not sit idly by when facing the sand palm crashing down from above.
The Blazing Sun Fire Domain was instantly activated, turning the surrounding several thousand meters into a sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, countless grains of sand melted into lava.
Under the amplification of the Blazing Sun Fire Domain, a giant lava sword, entirely constructed from molten sand, suddenly condensed and thrust towards the massive sand palm descending from above.
With a tearing sound, wherever the giant sword passed, a gap tens of zhang wide was pierced through the sand palm, and all the sand around the gap was burned into a glassy state by the high temperature.
Xiao Yan also seized this opportunity, powerfully flapping his wings and instantly passing through the gap in the center of the sand palm, flying higher into the sky.
Upon reaching several thousand meters in altitude, Xiao Yan finally hovered, his sharp golden eyes filled with deep fatigue, looking down at the swirling sandstorm below, still feeling lingering fear.
It seemed to have easily broken through the Sandstorm Stone Giant's attack and escaped from the giant sand palm it had condensed.
But in reality, it had mobilized all its energy in that instant, almost exhausting itself, to escape.
If it were to encounter that giant sand palm's grasp again now, it would have no chance of escaping.
"Damn it, are those guys from the academy crazy? Setting such a fierce Lord-level Vicious Beast to guard the end, how many people can pass?!"
"This is trying to kill the students!"
In the air, Su Yuan stood on Xiao Yan's back, also looking down at the sandstorm below, feeling lingering fear while also showing a hint of anger on his face.
If Xiao Yan hadn't reacted in time and fought with all his might to carve out a path, he might have been teleported to Illusory Moon City in the distance.
As He Qiang had said before, once teleported to Illusory Moon City, all scores for the competition would be voided.
If he were truly teleported back to Illusory Moon City by the jade token, he could forget about the one million points reward for this Freshman Competition.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Below, after Xiao Yan had flown out of the sandstorm's range, the surrounding dust gradually faded.
In the center of the sandstorm, the Sandstorm Stone Giant, whose attack had failed and allowed Xiao Yan to escape, raised both hands and clenched his fists, angrily pounding his chest, like an enraged silverback gorilla.
At the same time, he looked up towards Su Yuan and Xiao Yan's direction, his facial sand and stone twisting and deforming.
Even without a clear face, Su Yuan could still feel the Sandstorm Stone Giant's anger at this moment.
"Heh, at this height, no matter how powerful you are, you can't reach us."
Looking at the infuriated Sandstorm Giant below, who could only stand there pounding his chest, Su Yuan's mouth curved into a smile, his suppressed frustration and anger dissipating considerably, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his lips.
"Holy crap! Again!"
However, his smile didn't last long, followed by another exclamation.
He didn't dare to linger any longer, instead commanding Xiao Yan to rush towards Illusory Moon City.
Below, the infuriated Sandstorm Stone Giant's massive humanoid body rapidly disintegrated.
Countless sands and stones turned into a sky-filling sandstorm, gathering in the air to form a several-hundred-zhang long Sand Dragon that swept towards Su Yuan and Xiao Yan.
