Frozen
"If you feel increasingly cold while fighting the Ice Wolf, stop and rest until you warm up before returning."
"It's that simple?" Da Fei asked incredulously.
"It's that simple." Zhou He glared at him.
Although Jian Qingfeng has learned the skill to break free from crowd control, he hasn't tested it yet, and this skill has a cooldown, so he needs to save it for emergencies.
"Let's go. Remember not to hurt yourself. If you're cold, go thaw out over there."
Zhou He gave a word of advice, still feeling uneasy.
The group had walked less than 100 meters when they saw the first pack of wolves, a total of eight.
Name: Ice Wolf
Level: 80
HP: 20000/20000
"Roar~"
With a wolf howl, eight Ice Wolf charged toward the group.
"Fight according to the previous grouping, four in each group. The Doctor can keep an eye on the health of the other group," Zhou He calmly instructed.
This time they brought two Doctor, both of whom created new healing skills that Blood Bar Healing.
Originally, in "Cloud Sea," Doctor had very few Skill Chain and could only create a limited number of skills, given the real-world limitations.
However, since the introduction of the Blood Bar Healing, Doctor have gained many more creative skill options. But because people are not yet familiar with this system, the failure rate of creation is very high.
These two Doctor had previously created many healing skills. After discovering the new method, they racked their brains and one created three healing skills, while the other created two.
Upon learning this, Zhou He decisively allowed the two to join the pioneering team.
This method of Blood Bar Healing has proven to be really effective!
Previously, when players were injured in battle, they could only go to the side to bandage and heal to prevent their health from continuously decreasing. Now, they can throw a skill at the enemy and continue fighting. It couldn't be more useful!
"Xiao Fan is a fucking genius."
The two Doctor were initially a little unsure of themselves, but they later discovered that this method of treatment was more than a hundred times simpler than before. It was as easy as throwing out a skill; anyone could do it.
The only downside is that they have too few skills, but they've generated a lot of ideas through combat, and they can try to create more when they get back.
In no time at all, all eight Ice Wolves were killed.
To Zhou He's delight, this method of Blood Bar Healing increased the team's monster-killing efficiency, and no players left the team to rest due to the cold during the first wave of monsters.
After carefully searching the scene and finding no trace of the prop Xiao Fan had mentioned, Jian Qingfeng shook his head at Zhou He.
Zhou He wasn't in a hurry, after all, they had just finished defeating the first wave of monsters.
The group walked a few hundred meters further and encountered a second wave of Ice Wolf, sixteen in total, still half of each group.
After the second wave of mobs was defeated, one of the Doctor complained somewhat:
You should probably take cover; we have limited skills and sometimes can't keep up with the healing.
"Sorry, we just wanted to finish quickly. We'll be more careful next time," Da Fei said with a smile.
This treatment method is amazing! As long as you have enough milk to heal your body, the injury will heal immediately. It's simply miraculous!
Why did they only discover this method now! They were living such miserable lives before.
"Just be careful, continue."
Zhou He looked ahead at the road ahead; the third wave of monsters had begun, and the team was about to face the real challenge.
There are 32 Ice Wolf, and one team has to fight 16 of them.
Not long after the team started fighting, one player ran to the side, trembling.
"Guild leader, I can't take it anymore, this is too much." The player's lips were starting to turn purple.
"Rest for a bit. If you don't feel any colder, call me."
Zhou He, being a ranged Archer, stopped attacking upon seeing the situation and walked over to the player, preparing to call for Jian Qingfeng to activate his skill if things went wrong.
As time ticked by, two more players left the group to warm up on the sidelines.
"Team fight, I've recovered, I can fight now." The first player who had been resting stood up.
Zhou He noticed that his complexion was no longer as bluish-purple as before, but had visibly become rosy, and nodded.
"Let's go back."
After the player rejoined the team, Zhou He kept an eye on him and, seeing that he hadn't been frozen for a long time, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"It really works! Xiao Fan's analysis was correct! This method is effective."
Zhou He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart began to look forward again.
This analysis is correct, so there shouldn't be any problems with the follow-up.
In the past, when they fought the second wave of monsters, some players would be frozen.
Now.
With only four monsters remaining in the third wave, and still no one dying from being frozen, all the players were overjoyed. They had found a way to avoid being frozen! Fighting the monsters was no longer as tense and frightening as before.
The next wave of Ice Wolf, numbering sixty-four, will be difficult even if they have a way to break free from the freezing effect.
Jian Qingfeng can only activate his own Heaven-Tier Skill, <Clear Wind Sword Shadow>.
As soon as the skill was activated, the purple longsword was instantly enveloped in a dazzling golden light, a unique effect exclusive to Heaven-Tier Skill.
The next moment, Jian Qingfeng's figure moved like a phantom among the wolf pack.
It was terrifyingly fast; wherever the sword light went, the wind howled.
If Xiao Fan were here, he would realize that Jian Qingfeng's skills had actually become somewhat detached from the reality of Blue Star.
Five seconds later, Jian Qingfeng returned to his original spot, holding a long sword, his gaze fixed on the distance with neither joy nor sorrow.
"What are you all waiting for? Keep fighting!" Zhou He's voice rang out, and only then did everyone react.
A small number of the monsters died, which greatly reduced the pressure.
"Qingfeng, you've worked hard." Zhou He patted Jian Qingfeng on the shoulder.
The usually composed Jian Qingfeng suddenly shivered. "I'm starting to feel the cold they were talking about."
"This should be the last wave of mobs."
Jian Qingfeng pointed to a large mountain not far away, which was the location of the first BOSS. There were no more wolves to be seen on the road.
Whether or not the item Xiao Fan mentioned will appear depends on this wave of Ice Wolf.
The other team members also saw the BOSS ahead, and they all seemed to have been injected with adrenaline. Before long, there were less than five Ice Wolf left on the scene, but there were also ten players waiting on the sidelines for the wolves to thaw.
In the crowd, Da Fei felt his body getting colder and colder; he knew he had been marked with the Frozen Mark.
The Ice Wolf in front of them only had half its health left, so the two of them fought it again.
"That was quick! I'll go outside to warm up after I finish this one." Da Fei shivered, feeling like he was about to freeze.
The companion who was still attacking finally realized something was wrong and quickly shouted, "Da Fei, stop fighting! Get out of here!"
But the next second, he saw Da Fei's body frozen in a thick layer of ice.
"Da Fei!" Da Fei could no longer hear his companion's heart-wrenching cries.
"Gentle Breeze!"
Zhou He's attention was always focused on the fighting team, and he noticed Da Fei being chilled the moment he was touched.
Jian Qingfeng reacted extremely quickly. He turned his right hand, which was holding the sword, and held the Short Flute in his hand, activating the <Soul Suppressor> skill.
In an instant, a red light enveloped the white Short Flute.
A melodious tune drifted from the flute, and at the same time, ripples of red light spread outwards from Jian Qingfeng's center.
At this moment, apart from the players still fighting, everyone surrounded Da Fei, recklessly throwing skills at the ice blocks in an attempt to rescue him.
The two Doctor tried to nurse Da Fei, but Da Fei was frozen and couldn't nurse at all.
Suddenly, the sound of a flute rang out, and everyone was taken aback. Remembering the flute that Jian Qingfeng had brought with him today, they felt a mix of emotions.
"What kind of time is this, that Lord Qingfeng is still in the mood to play the flute!"
But the next second, a red ripple, like a musical score, swept across them.
Everyone felt something was different about their bodies, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
As the ripples swept across the frozen Da Fei, everyone was surprised to find that the ice on Da Fei's surface vanished in an instant.
