Using "wind" to search for targets?
Jiang Mian understood.
The Second-tier skill of [Eye of the Storm] had exactly this effect: it heightened perception and helped locate targets.
She could do the same, but Qin Xiao had put the ability to use fishing. That was a creative idea.
Never getting skunked again, apparently.
And when this "fishhook" touched a fish, the ice element would probably erupt in an instant to keep it from slipping off.
But Jiang Mian didn't rush to dodge or counterattack. Instead, she opened a portal and tossed over two more sets of wind-and-water cores.
She had already bundled them up with bubbles, making them easy to bury underwater or hide in cracks between rocks.
With those in place, it was as if she'd set up two "Save Points."
Even if this avatar was surrounded and scattered, she could use them to keep sending out new avatars from here. One of them was bound to make it to the open sea.
Once that was done, Jiang Mian controlled the avatar's fish-shaped shell and bit down on the hook.
The ice element erupted at once, condensing into a dazzling ice flower that kept spreading inward.
With a thought, Jiang Mian activated the Fire Element core inside the avatar, making it counter the ice. Only then was she able to stop the ice flower from growing.
But a Second-tier core had limited output and strength. This was as much as it could manage.
The avatar looked ordinary enough, but she'd carefully refined it. Its strength was about forty percent of her real body's.
Jiang Mian assumed that Qin Xiao's Water-type skills also boosted his strength.
He was now one tier below her, so this was a good chance to test his base stats and make a direct comparison.
