Chapter 81: Is [Glacier Storm] a high-cooldown burst skill?

On the border of Jiangzhou, a land vehicle was speeding along.

Inside the vehicle:

Yang Yang Honglang was being supported by guards while consuming an intermediate health potion.

When Yang Yang Junfei hit him, he really meant it!

As an S-rank melee class, the Dragon Lancer, Yang Yang Junfei had kicked Yang Yang Honglang—a fragile little Poison Mage—until he had only one-third of his health left!

"Big brother, who exactly is that kid? Do we really need to be this afraid of him?"

"Need to?" Yang Yang Junfei laughed in anger.

"Slap!"

Another palm swung across his face.

"Until this matter is over, you are not my brother, and don't call me brother!"

This guy was the one who wanted to cause trouble for Li Yao, and now he just wanted to distance himself as far as possible!

By now, Yang Yang Honglang was almost getting used to being slapped.

A few slaps wouldn't kill him.

"Big brother, if you don't tell me, how am I supposed to know who we offended? I could be more careful next time."

Fearing that this kid would go and provoke the other party again, Yang Yang Junfei told him everything that had happened in the Primal Dungeon.

"Holy crap!"

Yang Yang Honglang felt a chill shoot straight to his crown!

These beatings hadn't been for nothing!

Even Yan Yan Gaojie dared to be killed; what was he compared to that?

"Wait, that's not right!"

Yang Yang Honglang suddenly froze and stood up.

"What's not right?"

Yang Yang Junfei looked at him with disgust. Had this kid been beaten stupid?

"According to what you said, Big Brother, given Li Yao's temperament, he would have killed us both the moment we came out. How could he let us go just because of a misunderstanding?"

"After all, we beat up his childhood sweetheart. Logically, that should be even worse than what the Yan family did!"

"Are you overestimating him, Big Brother? That kid is just a Summoner. It's perfectly normal for him to lack stamina after his second transition. We have so many people, and we're all level 35 professionals; he wouldn't dare make a move alone!"

The more Yang Yang Honglang thought about it, the more excited he became.

A Summoner from a backwater town, no matter how talented or strong he was—

In front of the Yang family, he was nothing but someone to be bullied!

We beat his childhood sweetheart like that, and didn't he still let us leave?

Hearing this, Yang Yang Junfei fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the guard who had been listening to the two brothers speak up:

"Young Master, could it be that Purgatory-level dungeon..."

"Soloing a Purgatory-level dungeon in such a short time—I don't really believe he cleared it normally."

"You mean..." Yang Yang Junfei looked at the guard.

The guard nodded: "You must have guessed it too, Young Master. It must be some kind of ultimate skill with severe side effects!"

"Exactly!" Yang Yang Honglang slapped his thigh. "Your brain works well. When we get home, go claim a Silver-grade piece of equipment!"

He then looked at Yang Yang Junfei.

"Big brother, that kid must be at his weakest right now."

"Otherwise..."

Yang Yang Honglang made a sinister throat-slitting gesture.

"Let's finish this once and for all. We'll kill him directly. Not only will we vent our anger, but we'll also avenge the Yan family along the way."

"Even if that woman Shang Shang Zijin really wants to help him, we'll have the Yan family to deal with her!"

Yang Yang Junfei's eyes flickered; he was clearly considering the feasibility of this.

Just then,

The professional operating the land vehicle suddenly spoke:

"Young Master, there is an unidentified creature tracking us from high altitude, two hundred meters behind!"

"High altitude? Unidentified creature?"

Yang Yang Junfei seemed to think of something and quickly opened the window to look out.

A blue avian creature was soaring rapidly through the high sky.

"Hiss!"

Yang Yang Junfei's pupils constricted, and he gasped.

He quickly closed the window.

Isn't that Li Yao's area-of-effect summon?

Having witnessed Li Yao kill Yan Yan Gaojie, he now had psychological trauma.

Yang Yang Junfei shook his head, constantly telling himself:

This guy just cleared a Purgatory-level dungeon; chasing us now is 100% a bluff!

He immediately ordered:

"All ranged professionals, shoot that bird down for me!"

If he could kill this summon, he would immediately turn back and kill Li Yao!

"Yes, Young Master!"

Inside the land vehicle, including Yang Yang Honglang, there were a total of eight ranged professionals.

As Yang family guards, these people were at least B-rank professionals.

As the order was given, all the windows of the vehicle opened, and several energy projectiles flew toward the blue bird.

The blue bird simply leaped higher, causing all the attacks to miss.

Ice elements gathered, and the temperature plummeted.

Under Li Yao's remote command, the blue bird did not let [Glacier Storm] continue to expand its range.

Instead, it aimed at the land vehicle, released the skill for one second, then stopped, waited for the cooldown to end, and repeated the process.

The expansion speed of the range couldn't keep up with the speed of the land vehicle; Li Yao only needed the slowing effect.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the bird dodge the attacks by flying higher, Yang Yang Junfei cursed angrily.

Several Yang family guards were also miserable: "Young Master, at that height, only Hunters have a chance to hit it, but using bows and arrows, neither the speed nor the accuracy is enough; that bird can easily dodge!"

"What about the attack equipment on the land vehicle?"

"It won't work, Young Master!"

"The F-series land vehicle is mainly designed for field travel; almost all its capabilities are spent on resisting monsters. In terms of offense, it only has basic firepower."

Yang Yang Junfei had calmed down by now: "So, we can't hit it, and it can't do anything to us?"

The Yang family guard nodded quickly: "Of course. The defensive shield can block at least 300,000 damage. Even if we didn't move and let a second-transition summon attack us, it couldn't break through!"

(Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!)

Yang Yang Junfei finally felt relieved. He had seen this summon's damage capability in the Feeding Cave.

It was a massive area-of-effect attack, but the damage was truly mediocre. Thinking it could break a 300,000-point defense was a pipe dream!

However, at that moment,

The entire land vehicle shook violently, and Yang Yang Junfei almost fell flat on his face.

"What's going on?!"

The person in charge of operating the vehicle said in horror: "Young Master, that bird used a skill on us!"

"So it used a skill, what are you afraid of?" Yang Yang Junfei said dismissively. "How much damage did it cause?"

"Two attacks, the shield lost about 10,000 durability!"

"How much!?"

Yang Yang Junfei's face changed in shock.

Are you kidding me? It was only doing five or six hundred damage before? Now it's 10,000?

A second transition is a big boost, but not that exaggerated, right?

"The key is that our travel speed has been reduced by a huge margin; it can catch up to us at any time!"

"You bunch of trash, what are you still standing there for?!"

"Hurry up and attack that bird! Even if you can't hit it, you have to make it unable to chase us!"

Yang Yang Junfei panted heavily, the shadow of Li Yao in his mind growing larger.

It felt as if the other party could catch up at any moment.

The guard who had spoken earlier said: "Young Master, let's not panic. The skill stopped after just one hit, which means it's a burst skill with a high damage coefficient and a long cooldown. We should just keep driving; it won't be able to catch up!"

By now, the Yang family professionals had completely lost the thought of killing the bird and were only thinking about how to escape.

Hearing this, Yang Yang Honglang said viciously: "Why don't we turn around now and go back to kill Li Yao! A flying summon can't protect him!"

"I think the Young Master has a point."

No sooner had he finished speaking,

The entire land vehicle shook violently again.

There was silence inside the vehicle.

Yang Yang Junfei stared fixedly at Yang Yang Honglang and the guard who had spoken, roaring:

"F*** your mother!"

"Is this what you call a long cooldown time?"

"And you!"

"We can't even deal with one summon; if you want to kill him, go do it yourself!"

After cursing, Yang Yang Junfei looked at the operator in the front row.

"How much further to the border checkpoint?"

The operator whispered, "Young Master, there are still twenty-four kilometers to go."

"That bird is just here to slow us down. Ignore it, full speed ahead!"

"As long as we enter the checkpoint, even Li Yao wouldn't dare kill anyone in the city!"

"Young Master, I'm afraid it's too late."

The operator looked at the dashboard, suddenly so terrified he couldn't even hold the steering wheel steady, trembling as he spoke.

Yang Yang Junfei's heart went cold: "What do you mean?"

"A dragon!"

"There's a dragon chasing us!"
