"Cooperation?"
The Angel Old Man froze, looking at Chen Ming with a strange expression.
What kind of cooperation could he possibly have with a Level 6 Shield Guard?
Are young people these days really this confident?
"I can retrieve the resources in that pool; you help me mask the commotion here," Chen Ming stated bluntly. "I want the one with the Pale Flame, and you take the one with the Moonlight Essence."
He had already been at his wit's end.
Then, a high-level job changer suddenly appeared and even helped him deal with the barrier.
As for the other party's current predicament, Chen Ming was naturally very clear about it.
The Phantom Guardian stood by the edge of the pool; to obtain the resources, one had to defeat it.
Doing so would inevitably alert the Giant Wolf to the situation here.
Angel Old Man: ...
What on earth is this guy talking about?
Does he not know his own weight?
The Wolf King Phantom could kill a Level 10 job changer with a single fart.
Let alone a Level 6.
"Who gave you the courage?"
The old man was already losing patience and didn't want to bother with Chen Ming.
The situation at hand was already tense enough without some ignorant newcomer coming to cause trouble.
"Have you considered it? Don't waste time; hesitation is defeat."
Chen Ming urged him.
The shockwaves of the battle in the distance were fading; he didn't know if the fight had ended.
If they dragged this out any longer, they would likely be discovered.
Hearing Chen Ming's words, the Angel Old Man was so angry he laughed.
The world turned upside down; he was actually being urged by him.
"Come, come! Today, this old man wants to see how you get over there!"
The old man was so furious his beard and eyebrows were twitching.
He simply agreed on the spot.
He wanted to see if this kid would be swatted to death by a claw or whipped to death by the tail of the Wolf King Phantom!
Seeing that the Angel-class old man had finally agreed, Chen Ming nodded.
Without the slightest hesitation, he walked straight toward the depression.
"This kid has a death wish; he's actually daring enough to do it."
Behind him, seeing Chen Ming's actions, the old man frowned deeply, realizing he wasn't joking.
But he quickly withdrew his gaze.
If this young man died, he decided he wouldn't care.
He brought this upon himself...
He didn't even have a shred of self-awareness.
Up ahead.
As soon as Chen Ming stepped into the depression, the Giant Wolf Phantom moved in an instant.
The massive shadow arrived before his eyes with a whoosh.
BOOM—!
The Wolf King Phantom descended from the air, striking down with a claw.
At this moment, the pressure seemed to distort the very space around them.
If not for the barrier isolating them, this entire area would likely have shaken violently!
However.
Chen Ming stood his ground, unmoving, his expression calm.
This was his first time facing an attack from a beast of this caliber, and he couldn't help but look up in curiosity.
A terrifying sea of fire descended from the sky, like a rain of flames.
"What is this kid doing?!"
Behind him, although he had already resigned himself to the fact that this ignorant newcomer would die a miserable death, the old man couldn't help but take a look.
However, when he saw Chen Ming's leisurely pace, as if he were out for a casual stroll, the corner of his mouth twitched violently.
He assumed the kid was blindly confident in his own speed, trying to take a shortcut.
To quickly steal the resources from that pool.
But right now...
The other party just walked straight in, strolling along.
And then, he actually tilted his head slightly, watching the Wolf King Phantom attack him.
Just as the old man thought Chen Ming was about to be shredded into pieces under the wolf's claws.
The next moment, he witnessed a scene that made him doubt his entire life.
The terrifying claw strike landed on the youth, emitting a booming sound.
The cruel scene he had imagined did not occur.
The giant claw of the Wolf King Phantom stopped right in front of Chen Ming and remained motionless.
"Hm, it stopped?"
Why would this happen?
Skill phantoms have no consciousness; they should only attack any target that approaches the depression.
Yet now, it had stopped right in front of that rookie.
"No..."
But the next second, the old man's eyes widened.
Because he saw that the tip of the claw was fixed against the youth's shoulder.
It wasn't that the phantom had stopped attacking...
It was that the attack had been forcibly blocked!
Moreover, the shockwaves brought about by the attack had also vanished in a bizarre fashion.
As a high-level class-changer, the old man could naturally see attribute energy clearly.
The phantom's strike just now was like hitting a void; not only the attack itself, but the subsequent flames and the explosive power of the shockwaves had failed to manifest entirely.
"What is going on?"
The old man was no longer calm.
This was the first time he had encountered... no, seen such a situation.
He even rubbed his eyes to confirm if he was seeing things.
Then he saw Chen Ming move, and the Wolf King Phantom moved along with him.
BOOM--
BOOM BOOM--
Continuous and terrifying attacks rained down one after another.
The entire depression shook incessantly.
The old man watched with his heart in his throat; such continuous attacks, if it were him, would be hard to endure if he had to tank them head-on.
This was also the point of his dilemma.
Even though he was very strong, if he ignored the Wolf King Phantom, he couldn't enter and exit safely while tanking the damage.
And if he were to defeat the phantom, it would certainly attract the attention of the Pale Moon Wolf King.
Yet at this moment, someone had actually managed to tank the attacks of the Wolf King Phantom and enter the depression.
It was just that...
This person was a level 6 class-changer.
[-1!] [-1!] [-1!] [...]
Chen Ming walked across the depression.
Above his head, giant claws fell like raindrops, each carrying a suffocating, terrifying momentum, as if to crush everything into dust.
And those dense attacks, condensed from flames and Moonlight Essence, were interwoven with fearsome power.
Beneath his feet, the earth shook continuously.
Finally, he arrived before the pool at the very center.
Chen Ming leaned down, gazing at the fluids within the pool.
Two liquids that appeared starkly different flowed within the pool, separated by a distinct, clear-cut line down the middle.
[Azure Flame Molten Fire]: Fire element, spiritual attribute class.
[Moonlight Glaze]: Light element, spiritual attribute class.
Chen Ming's eyes lit up.
This wasn't the flowing fire he had obtained before, but molten fire!
Azure Flame that had already condensed into a liquid state!
The sheer density of it was evident.
A single drop of liquid in here likely required countless Azure Flame flowing fires to condense.
Chen Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and prepared to retrieve something to collect them.
"Hm?"
Just then, his gaze sharpened as he looked at the place where the molten fire and moonlight converged.
There, a very inconspicuous little sphere caught his attention.
This sphere floated quietly between the two resources, as if resting at the boundary of ice and fire.
Chen Ming swept a spiritual probe across it.
[Azure Flame True Core]: ???
It exceeded the level of his detection!
Chen Ming's breath hitched.
Afterward, he took two containers from his spiritual space and began to collect the resources from the pool without changing his expression.
There actually wasn't an excessive amount of Azure Flame Molten Fire and Moonlight Glaze in the pool.
Once packed away, they only filled the size of an ordinary bottle.
After finishing everything, Chen Ming finally walked out of the depression.
And outside...
Watching Chen Ming walk out while still ignoring the attacks of the Wolf King Phantom, holding the Azure Flame Molten Fire in one hand and the Moonlight Glaze in the other.
The old man was already stunned.
He had begun to question reality since a moment ago.
The Pale Moon Wolf King's skill attacks, which he didn't even dare to take head-on, seemed to have absolutely no effect on a Level 6 class-changer.
It was as if...
He was immune to the Wolf King's attacks!
After all that, only the hem of his clothes was slightly dirty.
