Chapter 332: Ichimaru Gin's Shock, the Possibility of Surpassing Aizen!
"Snow Xiao? Never heard of it..."
Chen Duo and Huang Feihong were both quite bewildered; in their worlds—Huang Feihong's low-martial arts world, naturally, goes without saying, and the Yiren World where Chen Duo resides is also entirely about conflicts and disputes between Yiren,
there were simply no powerful Yoma or ghosts.
"It should be a monster."
Ichimaru Gin couldn't figure it out either,
although the Bleach world has Hollows, those are products of fallen souls; pure Yoma are simply not lifeforms that could be birthed from the Shinigami system.
However, he treated everything before him as Aizen's eccentric sense of humor,
and so he naturally regarded the Snow Xiao as a Hollow.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The ground was covered in snow, and the mountain, looking like a high wall with no visible top, would send one falling into an endless Abyss if they were the least bit careless.
The bone-chilling wind and snow blew, and the extreme low temperature alone caused Chen Duo and Huang Feihong to develop an abnormal status.
【Frozen State】: Constitution attribute is below 【40】; 5 HP is deducted every minute in the White Ruins.
The Constitution attribute determines HP; both of their Constitutions were around 【10】, which converted to no more than 100 HP.
Fortunately,
the Qi within Chen Duo and her 【Gu Body Holy Child】 ability could temporarily enhance her four-dimensional attributes, raising her HP slightly.
Once Huang Feihong's low-level martial arts like 【Shadowless Kick】 and 【Tiger-Crane Twin Form Fist】 reached Lv. 5, they provided him with passive Constitution and Strength attributes.
So, until now, they had not died from the Frozen State.
But even so,
the two had only gained a few dozen more HP, and by now, they had reached their limit.
"Can you not continue moving?"
Ichimaru Gin did not care about the life or death of the two, but suspecting Aizen's purpose in sending them to his side, he still asked.
Both were shivering from the cold; Chen Duo frowned and said, "If we keep walking, we will die."
She stated this fact in a calm tone, as if she were completely indifferent to her own death.
They had both underestimated the harsh environment of the White Ruins.
There was no need for a Pollution Monster to take action; in just a few hours, it could freeze a player with a weaker constitution to death.
Furthermore, what they did not know was...
this Frozen State could stack; they were currently on the outskirts of the White Ruins, and if they continued deeper, the HP deducted per minute would constantly increase.
"There is a cave ahead; shall we go in and hide?"
Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes,
he did not intend to let the two die just yet, fearing it might be some kind of trap set by Aizen.
He pointed to the dark cave not far away, and Huang Feihong and Chen Duo exchanged a glance and nodded; although the strange game text stated clearly that death in the game was not a true death, but rather a resurrection within the Safe Zone,
no one was stupid enough to verify this game rule directly.
"Roar..."
Just as they arrived outside the cave, they heard a deafening roar from within.
Before they could hear it clearly, a massive snowball that had been piled up rolled down from the higher-elevated cave like a cannonball, resembling a rolling stone.
"Watch out!"
Huang Feihong was quick-witted; he grabbed Chen Duo and dodged to the side, while simultaneously calling out to warn Ichimaru Gin.
Such a massive, solid snowball had the power of a boulder; if hit, one would be turned directly into meat paste.
"God Spear."
Ichimaru Gin stood where he was without moving, not even blinking his eyelids; he swung the Short Blade in his hand gently,
and the huge, solid snowball was sliced perfectly down the middle with a 'swish', just missing the spot where Ichimaru Gin stood and rolling down to both sides. Before Huang Feihong could see clearly, Ichimaru Gin had transformed into a Shadow, and when he reappeared, he was already holding a round, rolling head in his hand.
Snow-colored fur, a purple-black face like a zombie, and messy yet Sharp teeth like barbs,
the entire head was the size of a millstone.
Relying on the head that exceeded normal size, a giant Snow Xiao monster with a body of five or six meters emerged in Huang Feihong's mind.
Such a monster,
even the guns and cannons of the foreigners would find it hard to break its skin and flesh, right?
Although the firearms of the United States and Western powers were strong, they were still at the level of the early Industrial Revolution; even if one shot a tiger or a black bear, if it wasn't a vital part, one might not be able to kill it even after firing several shots.
A Snow Xiao could be as massive as several black bears combined; Huang Feihong walked over specifically, and after asking Ichimaru Gin, he carefully observed the Snow Xiao's fur and body structure,
he picked up a sharp stone from the ground and scratched it against the Snow Xiao's skin,
"So tough..."
Even in low-martial arts, Huang Feihong could be considered a top-tier expert; his full-force tear could pierce even slightly thin sheet metal, but he had failed to leave a mark on the Snow Xiao's fur.
Ichimaru Gin was actually able to kill a monster of this level with ease,
could it really be true...
that he had been chosen by the omnipotent Samsara Game, and the two teammates beside him were from different Yiren Worlds?
An inexplicable emotion surged in Huang Feihong's heart,
there was fear and bewilderment, but also anticipation and excitement.
His wish was to teach people martial arts to strengthen themselves and save the country, but the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, the foreigners ran rampant, the people suffered, and the public's intellect was not enlightened; the opponent's strong ships and powerful guns were simply not things that martial arts could contend with.
He had already realized that relying on martial arts alone could not save the country; in the eyes of the foreigners, he was just like a monkey performing for applause.
If everything in the Samsara Game was real, could he find a path to save the country? Thinking of this, a trace of blood color appeared on Huang Feihong's lips, which were trembling slightly from the cold.
【Killed Snow Xiao, EXP +20, Reward Point +15】
Notification: First kill confirmed, Game Shelf has been opened; players may purchase items (5 pieces) through the Game Shelf.
Before Ichimaru Gin's eyes, a Game Shelf appeared.
He looked at the items on the shelf with great interest and chuckled softly: "As expected of Captain Aizen, even the details are made so realistically?"
His gaze landed on certain items and paused slightly.
【Sharingan (One Tomoe)】: An eyeball containing the Yin-attribute chakra of the Uchiha Bloodline, possessing the abilities of observation, copying, and seeing through Genjutsu. Price: 2,000 Reward Points.
【Phantom Demon Snake Bloodline】: A low-level Magic Beast bloodline from the Dou Qi Continent, possessing strong Genjutsu abilities and Genjutsu Resistance. Price: 200,000 Reward Points.
"Is this a test from Captain Aizen for me?"
In the eyes of Huang Feihong and Chen Duo, Ichimaru Gin was talking to himself.
But in reality, he was conversing with Aizen, who was hiding in the shadows observing him.
There was still no response.
A sense of strangeness and anger could not help but well up in Ichimaru Gin's heart; this kind of meaningless probing was far too shallow—how could he possibly fall for it? Was Aizen toying with him? If that was the case,
then I shall satisfy your perverse hobby.
Ichimaru Gin frowned and said: "Hand over Zanpakuto, God Spear!"
In an instant, a massive amount of Reward Points arrived in his account.
A captain-level Zanpakuto cultivated to Lv. 35 contained enough essence to be worth 300,000 Reward Points.
As expected of a player from a Second-tier World, the foundation is truly rich.
"Purchase, Phantom Demon Snake Bloodline."
Ichimaru Gin spent more than half of his Reward Points without hesitation to purchase the 【Phantom Demon Snake】 Bloodline, and feeling it still wasn't enough, he went on to purchase the 【Sharingan (One Tomoe)】 as well.
The next second, his eyes suddenly widened.
