Ah Li had already advanced to platinum intermediate grade. With its soul stones, equipment, and attributes, it was already on par with a platinum pinnacle pet beast.

After transforming into its thunder form, Ah Li's entire body emitted a golden light. Its skill had also changed from thunder summoning bullet to lightning spell. Lightning shot out from its mouth, and the iron golem had no time to react.

Lightning had a enhanced effect on iron. When the lightning hit the iron golem, flames began to appear on the iron golem's body. This was Ah Li's thunder and fire attributes.

However, the iron golem did not seem to have any sense of pain or fear. Even though its body was burning with flames, it did not stop its attack. It turned around and removed the palm in its hand, revealing the…

Submachine gun!

Da da da da!

Continuous gunshots rang out. Fortunately, the target of the bullets was Ah Li. Ah Li was like dancing as it easily dodged the bullets.

However, Fang Yuan had no choice but to change his current position. He also had to dodge the stray bullets.

Fang Yuan did not know how powerful this thing was. However, after seeing the iron golem's previous attack, he believed that this bullet would not be as gentle as a small fist pounding on the chest.

Although Ah Li's strength was not ordinary, under such an intensive attack from the iron golem, it would lose its ability to fight if it kept dodging.

At the same time, Fang Yuan hid behind a huge rock and said to Ah Li, “Ah Li, find a way to get close to the iron golem. I'll use Xiao Jin to cover for you.”

At this point, Fang Yuan summoned Xiao Jin. This was his pet beast with the strongest defense. Originally, it was on par with the vine lizard, but with the statue's boost, Xiao Jin's defense became the strongest among Fang Yuan's pet beasts.

After Xiao Jin came out, the first thing it did was activating petrified skin. It stared at the iron golem and realized that it was not going to fall for this trick.

The iron golem seemed to have sensed that the gryphon was making a move on him and turned its gaze to Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin took the opportunity to fly into the air, and the opponent's bullets swept over like Gatling gun bullets.

It used its wings to block, and a bullet hole appeared on its wings. Fortunately, Xiao Jin had steel skin, so the bullets did not sink in or pierce through. However, Fang Yuan knew that it was injured.

Without Fang Yuan's command, Xiao Jin knew that it would definitely not be able to take the damage head-on, so it pulled away.

It had already achieved its goal. Ah Li switched to its wind form and rushed in front of the iron golem at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to discern. Then, it scratched the iron golem's face with its claws.

This claw contained wind-type power, but it did not seem to have any obvious effect when it hit the iron golem.

“There's actually such a powerful pet beast.” The three pet beasts on the field could be said to be Fang Yuan's strongest fighting strength. If they couldn't hurt the iron golem even if they joined hands, then…

Then they would all die here.

After Ah Li's close-range attack on the iron golem, the iron golem switched back to close-range mode. It punched left and right, and the air was distorted by the wind. Fortunately, Ah Li was fast, and because it was a wind-type pet beast, it was not hurt by the punch.

The vine lizard also woke up from its dizziness now.

“Fang Yuan, the one in front of us is not a pet beast.”

“What?” Fang Yuan heard the vine lizard's answer and was a bit surprised, “If this golem is not a pet beast, then what is it?”

“There is a connection between pet beasts. Even if we stand on the opposite side, we can sense each other's power. And this iron golem is a ruthless war machine. It seems to be a kind of trap.”

“Trap?”

Fang Yuan began to recall when he was attacked by the iron golem. It seemed to be the moment he stepped on the bridge.

He looked at the stone slab in front of the bridge, and true enough, it had caved in.

“Is this the way to enter the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?” Fang Yuan saw the trap, and a bold idea emerged in his heart.

Destroy the switch!

Although this idea was very whimsical, there seemed to be no better way now.

The burning effect caused by Ah Li's lightning spell was also fading, and the iron golem seemed to have become faster.

“Ah Li, do you see the stone slabs by the bridge?” Fang Yuan summoned Ah Li, who was currently jumping around the iron golem. Ah Li was fully focused on the battle, and it was also looking for the iron golem's weakness.

Hearing Fang Yuan's summon, Ah Li jumped back a step. When the iron golem saw that Ah Li had left its attack range, it raised its gun again and prepared to shoot.

Ah Li looked at the front of the bridge. There were three stone bricks, and indeed one of them had a deep dent.

The iron puppet started shooting again. Just as Ah Li was distracted, the attack came like a storm.

Xiao Jin immediately disregarded its own safety and rolled up its wings in front. Bullet after bullet hit Xiao Jin's wings, causing many wounds.

“D*mn it.” Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan's first thought was to summon the spirit healing queen bee to heal Xiao Jin.

“Don't do useless things. The most important thing now is to finish off the enemy in front of you!” The vine lizard said with a gloomy tone.

Hearing this, Fang Yuan also narrowed his eyes. Due to the intense battle just now, he needed time to prepare before summoning the next pet beast.

At this moment, the vine lizard launched another attack on the iron golem from the side. The vines swarmed forward.

As if it had caught the vine lizard's attack message, the iron golem turned its body and faced the vine lizard. It began to attack again with the method it had used at the beginning.

This iron golem…

Fang Yuan finally understood. This iron golem could actually change its attack method because of the opponent's pet's ability!

Facing a monster with high defense and slow movement like the vine lizard, the iron golem would use its absolute strength to launch close-range attacks

And facing a nimble pet beast like the gryphon and Ah Li, its close-range attacks would weaken, instead strengthening its long-range attacks.

This was too terrifying.

The vine lizard said to Fang Yuan, “Don't stop, I can't hold on for long. D*mn it, this iron fellow isn't affected by any spiritual interference at all.”

Fang Yuan obviously knew that the vine lizard was referring to the hypnotic spores. If a robot could fall asleep, that would be incredible.

However, as the iron golem attacked the vine lizard, Ah Li was freed.

Ah Li raised his head and shot out a dazzling bolt of lightning towards the stone slab. However, the scene of the stone slab exploding did not appear. The stone slab seemed to be very tough.

On the other side, the iron golem had an absolute advantage over the vine lizard. If Ah Li were to knock it out again, the vine lizard would probably die here.

Ah Li seemed to have understood this point, and it was also very anxious.

Xiao Jin seemed to have understood something, and directly rushed towards the stone slab.

It had already suffered a very serious injury. With this full-force collision, it completely fainted the moment it hit the stone slab.
