The winding flames of lightning made the red water giant's body tremble violently, and some white steam began to rise. At the same moment, Gao Yi's Door Shield Sword struck the red water giant.
The giant's body, entirely composed of flowing water, split open, resembling the boldness of cutting water with a knife.
However, things did not go as expected; the giant was not killed. The red water giant merely looked down at the gaping wound on its body, then swung its fist and struck Gao Yi.
In terms of human size, Gao Yi could be considered a monster, but he was sent flying like a chick, his body soaring past Ye Zhongming and landing outside the valley.
The gash on the red water giant slowly closed in front of several humans, leaving no trace, while Zhao Xiangxue's attack had long been neutralized, disappearing without a trace.
In the first round of attacks, all three of them had taken action, yet none had worked.
At this moment, the other giants had already approached. The first two raised their legs and stomped forward, while the two behind flung their fists like extendable rubber, crashing down through the gaps between the bodies of the giants in front.
Even more terrifying were the last two red giants; they roared, crouched low, and then leaped into the air, directly soaring over their companions, jumping towards this side with their massive bodies.
With their bulk, whether they were crushed or stomped, one would either die or be severely injured.
Ye Zhongming and Zhao Xiangxue had no choice but to retreat.
The two immediately exited the valley, followed by Gao Yi, who had already gotten back up. Ye Zhongming cast a glance at him and found he should be fine apart from some blood at the corner of his mouth.
His tough skin and thick muscles were just Gao Yi's characteristics.
The ground shook as the attacks of several giants struck the earth, and at this moment, Ye Zhongming's group began to understand why they only saw human corpses here.
These six red water giants each possessed strength exceeding level six, making them not easy to deal with.
Compared to the puppets and giant bats in the intermediate area, it was indeed much more dangerous here.
Despite appearing girlish in front of Ye Zhongming, Zhao Xiangxue was actually a cold-blooded fighting machine. Previously, in a small village chosen as a temporary base, she had led a slaughter there. Technically speaking, she was not a good person.
Though in the apocalypse, there are no good people.
The unfavorable battle situation forced her into transformation mode, revealing the original form of the flame sprite master—flame spirit.
The surrounding temperature immediately soared with Zhao Xiangxue's transformation. Although she was tiny compared to the water giants, the heat she radiated was drastically different from that of the water element, drawing the attention of all the water giants.
The flame spirit raised both hands, gripping a short staff in one hand, which ignited in flames, no longer appearing as an ordinary short staff but resembling a flame totem.
A red circle appeared on the ground at the valley entrance, and the next moment, the first water giant stepped inside.
With a booming sound that wasn't too loud, a large, scorching red flame erupted from the circle, engulfing the water giant within.
The water giant let out a miserable groan and took a big step forward, likely knowing that crossing out of the fire range would suffice.
However, after unleashing the pillar of fire, Zhao Xiangxue's blazing flame eruption activated. A slender flame pillar shot from her hands, striking the water giant directly.
That massive body found it almost impossible to move under the impact of that seemingly thin flame pillar.
Seeing this, a nearby water giant charged towards Zhao Xiangxue's flame spirit, but was intercepted by Gao Yi, who roared in anger.
The avoidance team captain had just been humiliated by being sent flying and was not about to let the water giant attack his companion.
As he roared, his body began to swell; his Gothic armor grew larger, and even the Door Shield Sword became even more gigantic. By the time he charged forward, Gao Yi had transformed into a colossal figure, only half a meter shorter than the water giant.
