Shui Bing'er Has a Snowy Owl! The Ice Phoenix Saves the Day!
The horde of hammer-wielding monsters emerged from the dust, their heavy iron hammers dragging across the snow, carving deep furrows.
Their steps were heavy, like manipulated puppets, their eerie green eye sockets fixed on the living people present!
"Form ranks!" Hote roared, and the members of the Soul Hunting Group quickly dispersed.
These hunters, who make a living in the Far North Forest year-round, may not be as well-trained as regular soldiers, but their teamwork is just as excellent.
The three of them stood back to back, unleashing their Soul Skill to smash the charging monster!
The iron hammer clashed with the Martial Soul, sparks flew, and more than a dozen battle groups instantly erupted on the snow!
However, the number of monsters far exceeded expectations.
Despite the Soul Hunting Group' desperate attempts to intercept them, large groups of monsters bypassed them and rushed straight towards Shui Bing'er and Oscar!
"Scatter!" Shui Bing'er made a quick decision and slid to the side.
Oscar also rolled in the opposite direction.
The two of them were more than ten meters apart on the snow!
The giant hammer monster was distracted, and its forces split up to give chase!
Oscar retreated while raising his Three-Eyed Icefire Guns.
The muzzle flashes were sharp, and the aim was perfect, hitting the target repeatedly.
But the monster, after only staggering twice, charged forward again, dragging its hammer!
Oscar silently cursed, "Thick-skinned and tough!"
These monsters are all Soul Emperor; the Three-Eyed Icefire Guns is having a hard time dealing with them!
But he dared not stop, fearing he would be hit by the sledgehammer at any moment.
He caught sight of Shui Bing'er, and his eyes widened instantly.
Shui Bing'er didn't even retreat; her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul spread its wings.
The First Soul Ring lights up!
The monster had just leaped into the air, its iron hammer raised high above its head, about to smash down!
Shui Bing'er tapped her fingertip lightly and uttered a single word.
"Seal up."
A burst of cold air swept past the monster.
The bandaged figure froze in mid-air.
From toe to hammer handle, an ice shell covers everything in the blink of an eye!
Bang!
Slam the ground hard!
Oscar was speechless.
Battle Soul Master are great!
The Soul Skill was unleashed, clean and efficient!
Unlike him, he still has to rely on external things!
He gritted his teeth and continued firing as he moved about.
If there's no way to avoid it, just let the Snow Tuan take the hit.
Faced with the endless stream of monsters, Shui Bing'er narrowed her eyes slightly.
"We can't hold back any longer!" She stopped abruptly, her hands forming a hand seal.
Fifth Soul Ring, lit!
"Chirp!!!"
A snow-white figure flew out from her Soul Ring, its wings spread, and its size was about half that of an adult.
Its feathers were as white as fresh snow, One-Eye, which made it look like it was wearing a pair of majestic glasses.
It was a Snowy Owl!
"Hmm..."
The Snowy Owl wanted to rub its head against Shui Bing'er's chest.
"Sweetie, you can touch me after you're done hitting me!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The Snowy Owl perked up and soared into the sky!
It hovered, scattering ice flowers.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Ice Pillar Peaks!"
Suddenly, a bulge rose beneath Shui Bing'er's feet, and an ice pillar lifted her up, protecting her from the hammer's attack.
At the same time, dozens of icicles rose from the ground!
Those icicles were as thick as water vats, their surfaces covered with sharp ice ridges that refracted a blinding, cold light.
The monster caught up with them, but before they could stop, the hammer struck the ice pillar, sending it flying from their grasp.
His body was pierced by ice pillars from different angles!
Even if there were survivors, they were trapped and died in the icicles!
The Snowy Owl flapped its wings again and flew onto Shui Bing'er's shoulder.
Helpless, Shui Bing'er could only show the back of her hand and gently stroke the snow owl's head along its fur, causing the Snowy Owl's eyes to narrow into slits.
"Third Soul Skill, Heaven-Falling Ice Blades."
She waved her hand, and countless ice blades rained down!
Sharp as a polished blade!
Dense and heavy, a sudden downpour!
Puff puff puff!
The trapped monster had nowhere to hide; the ice blade pierced through the bandages and embedded itself in the charred flesh with a dull thud.
In less than three breaths, the monsters were riddled with quills and their heads drooped.
The other monsters were also frightened and quickly distanced themselves, afraid of being caught by Shui Bing'er.
The snow-covered ground fell silent, Hote's lips twitched.
The veterans of the Soul Hunting Group exchanged bewildered glances.
"This... is a bit exaggerated."
Shui Bing'er retracted the Snowy Owl, stood among the ice pillars, and her breath turned to frost.
She shook her head slightly, her tone humble, "It's all thanks to Teacher Ye's guidance."
"Without the Immortal Herb and Soul Spirit he gave me, I definitely couldn't have done this with my fifth Soul Ring!"
The Soul Hunting Group' expressions changed instantly at the mention of Ye Hua.
"Hahaha," Haote said naively, "My benefactor is always generous!"
"I did hear from the merchants from the south that he had invited you to exchange ideas!"
"Using their own resources to cultivate exchange students—this magnanimity is unmatched on the entire continent!"
"He also saved the lives of our entire town," a member of the Soul Hunting Group remarked. "Ordinary powerful individuals would be eager for us to lavish praise on him!"
"But my benefactor didn't care at all; such a kind heart has been almost unheard of these past years!"
Seeing that the hammer-wielding monster was wary and retreated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey! Stop talking!"
"Thank you for buying us the time, and we've set up the defense."
"Go back quickly!"
The taxi driver assigned to Ye Hua repeatedly shouted to him.
Hote dared not delay and led his team to rush towards the camp.
The hammer-wielding monsters remained where they were, too afraid to approach.
But then, a loud bang was heard.
The Ice Pillar Peaks collapsed with a deafening roar, sending shards of ice flying into the air.
Shui Bing'er turned around, her pupils suddenly contracting!
The newly appeared monster is much larger than the previous ones!
The gray-black bandages on his body turned poisonous green!
Most terrifyingly, it was enveloped in a thick, dark green wisp of smoke, almost tangible!
Every time I step on the snow, it corrodes and leaves charred footprints!
It casually brushed aside the icicles blocking its path, letting out a low gurgling sound from its throat!
Hote had a bad feeling.
Without a second thought, he turned and covered their retreat.
He gathered all his strength in his right fist and slammed it toward its head.
"Bastard! Die!"
His fist landed squarely on the monster's face.
But the monster didn't budge an inch.
The iron hammer swept across, striking Hote in the chest like a battering ram.
Hote screamed and crashed into a distant snowdrift, kicking up snow dust.
He curled up in the snow pit, coughed twice, and then fainted!
"Uncle!" Veya screamed from behind the defensive line.
But this elite monster is vengeful; he didn't even glance at Hote, and went straight for Shui Bing'er!
The hammer swung up with tremendous force, leaving a blur in its wake!
It slammed straight down on Shui Bing'er's head!
Shui Bing'er's heart stopped beating!
Can you stop it? You can't stop it!
Dodge? Too late!
After much thought, all I can do is wait to die!
Unwilling to give up, she had no choice but to hastily summon an ice wall!
"Sister!" Shui Yue'er cried out in anguish.
At the critical moment, Ye Hua sent out the Titled Douluo [Ironclad Dragon], who was hidden in the shadows and was already prepared.
Just as they were about to set off to rescue, a phoenix's cry suddenly echoed from the sky!
The clear, melodious sound echoed through the wind and snow!
The elite monster suddenly stopped moving.
It then crashed directly to the ground.
For a full two seconds, it was as if time had frozen, and I was unable to move.
Before the phoenix's cry had even faded, the Ice Phoenix Parrot had already swooped down.
Grab her shoulders, draw an arc in the air, and land steadily in a safe place.
Bang!!!
The elite monster resumed its actions, and the hammer still slammed down.
The earth shook violently, and ice fragments flew everywhere.
Shui Bing'er was panting heavily, her eyes filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.
She looked at the Parrot preening its feathers and said tremblingly, "Thank you!"
"You're too kind," the Parrot hummed softly.
However, the [Ironclad Dragon], who had not yet made a move, saw it clearly.
"What... what kind of strange bird is this!"
