C29 Coordination

"I'll lead the charge. Lou, on me!" Han Xiao charged ahead, eager to set a strong example.

He couldn't afford to be seen as a leader in name only! He needed to impress the others with his performance!

But the turtle spirit turned its head slowly, giving Han Xiao a look of confusion.

The turtle spirit seemed utterly lost.

"Why are you staring at me? Focus on that thing!" Han Xiao exclaimed in frustration.

The Needle-Armored Hedgehog roared angrily and charged at Feng Yixiu's Serpent Spirit.

"It's coming for me. Now, let's see what my Serpent Spirit can do. Attack!" Feng Yixiu commanded.

The Serpent Spirit, obeying its master's command, charged at the Needle-Armored Hedgehog without a moment's hesitation.

"Look at that one, then look at you. Both are Battle Companions, but why is there such a huge difference?" Han Xiao lamented, scratching his head in exasperation.

The turtle spirit, embarrassed, tucked its head back into its shell.

"Come on, you get upset over a couple of comments?" Han Xiao was at a loss for words.

At that moment, the Serpent Spirit was making its move against the Needle-Armored Hedgehog but struggled to find a weak spot, given the enemy's spiky armor.

The Serpent Spirit's abilities, Death Coil and Arc Flash Strike, required close proximity to be effective.

Still, the Serpent Spirit used its agility to weave around the Needle-Armored Hedgehog, looking for an opening.

"Lou, I'm sorry about this!"

During the standoff, Han Xiao suddenly lifted the retracted turtle spirit and hurled it at the Needle-Armored Hedgehog like a shot put.

With a crisp impact, the Needle-Armored Hedgehog was knocked over, exposing its vulnerable underbelly.

"Now's our chance, target its stomach and use Arc Flash Strike!" Feng Yixiu urged, seizing the moment.

The Serpent Spirit unleashed its Thunder Power, enveloping itself in a fierce electrical current.

Then, in a flash, it transformed into a bolt of lightning shaped like a serpent, moving so swiftly that it left only a trailing afterimage.

The Needle-Armored Hedgehog emitted a series of agonized wails.

A massive jolt of electricity left it briefly paralyzed. Struggling to flip over, it seemed its own sharp armor was too heavy to manage the feat.

"Use the Fire Pellet!"

Shen Ruyu commanded without waiting for the Needle-Armored Hedgehog to rise.

The fire spirit inhaled sharply, and a scorching Fire Pellet blasted from its mouth, targeting the Needle-Armored Hedgehog's underbelly.

The searing heat prevented the Needle-Armored Hedgehog from turning over, eliciting a sound akin to sizzling meat.

"We're okay. That Needle-Armored Hedgehog is quite the handful!" Feng Yixiu relaxed a bit, seeing that the creature had ceased to move.

Beside him, the turtle spirit poked its head out, looking bewildered at the charred Needle-Armored Hedgehog next to it. It then glanced at Han Xiao in the distance, seemingly puzzled about why it had suddenly run so far.

Just when everyone thought they were out of danger, the burnt Needle-Armored Hedgehog suddenly writhed and flipped onto its feet.

Instantly, all the steel spikes covering its body started to quiver intensely, as though they might burst forth at any moment.
