"Whoosh--"
The sound of wind cutting through the air rang in my ears.
Lin Zhaoran darted forward, the Tsunami surging behind her.
"Direct freezing doesn't work, using the terrain doesn't work, are there any other methods...?"
Lin Zhaoran's eyes trembled slightly as the scenery before her kept changing.
The man and the beast continued their pursuit.
Suddenly, a question came from behind.
"Aren't you going to try... an attack?" The Mirror Water Beast opened its mouth on the sea surface.
Lin Zhaoran turned her head and glanced at him, but did not respond.
The Mirror Water Beast seemed unconcerned, continuing to laugh, "If you don't attack... how are you going to fight me? With your... ice mist?"
"Boom! Boom!..."
The seawater surged and crashed against some small hills, producing a loud crashing sound.
The man and the beast continued their pursuit.
"But that ice mist... it can only buy time, right?" the Mirror Water Beast chuckled from behind. "And, relying solely on that ice mist, how long can you... hold out?"
Lin Zhaoran lowered her eyes.
She certainly wanted to attack, but the problem was, there seemed to be no viable methods!
Compared to Captain Shen, Cao Mingyu, and other personnel skilled in close combat, her abilities are indeed better suited to deal with this form of the Mirror Water Beast.
The problem is that being S-Class, Late Fifth Tier... significantly reduces her ability to cope with situations.
Of course, if we could just keep dragging this out, it might be acceptable, but...
"Like..." the Mirror Water Beast continued, "Like this now!"
Like, like this now?
Lin Zhaoran tilted her head again, somewhat puzzled.
In the field of vision, the Tsunami, which covered tens of meters, rose up in one corner, like a human raising a palm.
The giant hand plummeted downwards with the force of a thunderbolt.
The difference in their cultivation levels allowed the Mirror Water Beast to bring the human within attack range during that brief chase.
Almost instantly, shadows enveloped the area where Lin Zhaoran was located.
Seawater doesn't have much mass, and with Fifth Tier physique, even if he were hit, there wouldn't be much of a problem. However, Lin Zhaoran remembered Captain Shen's previous warning.
Without pausing, almost the instant she saw the giant hand begin to fall, she slammed down onto the ground.
Raise both hands, then lower them.
" Pillar of Extreme Ice!"
Low shouts echoed across the battlefield.
A huge ice spike instantly rose from beneath her feet and pierced straight up.
"Puff--"
The icicle shot upwards, piercing through the giant hand.
A large amount of seawater fell downwards, landing on Lin Zhaoran, and instantly froze into ice crystals by the cold aura emanating from her body, which then fell to the ground.
The giant hand didn't harm her, but it brought the already close distance between them even closer.
Tsunami was rushing in.
Lin Zhaoran gazed ahead, watching the blue rapidly expanding in her pupils.
The hand that was pressed to the ground turned slightly, just as she was about to activate her Origin Power.
But the next moment...
"Poom--"
A giant log crashed straight into the surging waves.
Soon, there was one more, then two more.
At the same time, a loud voice rang in my ears.
" Captain Lin, let's go!"
Without hesitation, Lin Zhaoran quickly retreated.
The Mirror Water Beast paused slightly in place.
The three giant logs in succession did not cause it any damage, but they did slow down the tide's advance slightly.
As it continued to maneuver its body forward in pursuit, it peered out from above the sea, looking in the direction from which the giant log had just flown.
There, a figure carrying a long spear stood at a distance, shouting something incessantly.
"Why is this so clichéd and...?"
The Mirror Water Beast couldn't understand, but it certainly wasn't anything good.
It ignored it, its form sinking as the Tsunami surged forward.
"You beast, come at me if you dare! I'll fight you. What's with staring at this girl like that?!"
Cao Mingyu stood on the hill and roared.
However, this doesn't seem to be of any use.
The Mirror Water Beast merely glanced at him before continuing its pursuit.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Damn it, after cultivating for so many years, I thought I'd be a main force every time after reaching the Fifth Tier, but the first S-Class Calamity Beast I encountered was like this! I don't know why Brother Shen Heng dragged it out for so long..."
He felt somewhat helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
He glanced at the direction the man and the Tsunami had run in, then looked around that area before quickly running towards a tree.
On the other side, Lin Zhaoran seized the opportunity and pulled back a considerable distance.
She looked back at the Tsunami that was chasing after her once again.
After a long while, he let out a soft breath and said:
" Lingxuan, let's bring her over."
Soon, a response came from beside me, "You can't handle it, can you?"
"Yes, I'm sorry," Lin Zhaoran said softly.
"It wasn't just your problem to begin with. It's just that your abilities are better at dealing with the Mirror Water Beast Mirror Water Beast, so I thought I'd try to see if you could handle it on your own after seeing it Division. You don't need to worry about it too much!" Gu Lingxuan replied, then asked, "By the way, what problem did you encounter?"
"Every inch of the Mirror Water Beast's body contains a certain amount of Origin Power. Freezing it would require even more Origin Power and time. In addition, the impact of the seawater's kinetic energy makes it impossible for me to inflict much damage on the Mirror Water Beast each time," Lin Zhaoran replied.
There was a pause on the other end before the reply came, "Okay, I understand. So, proceed with the original plan?"
"Okay, let's stick to the original plan," Lin Zhaoran said.
"Okay, I'm coming right now!"
As the words fell, Lin Zhaoran focused again, looking at the approaching Tsunami.
"Boom, boom--"
The Tsunami crashed into the hills, creating tremors.
The Mirror Water Beast glanced to the side.
"Should we meet up? Two people's abilities... let me think... ah..."
It did nothing, it simply turned its gaze back.
The man and the beast continued their pursuit.
Pale blue text flashed before Lin Zhaoran's eyes.
[ Mirror Water Beast Files Updated]
The original ability ' Condensed State, Limb Extension' has been expanded to 'Diffused State, Limb Extension'!
Lin Zhaoran in a backward-flying posture, watching the tentacles attack one after another, and quickly dodging them.
But the Mirror Water Beast actually brought the two sides closer together during this process.
"Whoosh--"
Tsunami erupted.
Lin Zhaoran calmly watched the Tsunami engulfing her.
The sounds of their previous conversation resumed.
"Watch out, it's coming!"
Without hesitation, Lin Zhaoran raised her hand.
The Tsunami, as before, descended downwards, first touching her hands.
The next moment.
"Buzz--"
An invisible force of air Distortion and enveloped them, obscuring their figures.
Forced by the air currents, the surging Tsunami stopped.
Lin Zhaoran also stopped, his movements were restricted.
But that's okay, it doesn't prevent the Origin Power from being activated.
"Sizzle... Crack crack crack!"
White ice crystals spread rapidly upwards from the inside out.
