Chapter 373

He couldn't catch up to these female soldiers with 6 points of Agility at all, and they were all wearing stockings that gave +20% movement speed.

He could absolutely kite them to death.

Actually fighting them wasn't that hard.

But that was only for these agile women of Taoyuan.

For ordinary people, although their speed could surpass these bears, their stamina was far from comparable to these bears with 7 points of Constitution.

Ordinary people would be chased to death.

Zhao Chi pointed east and shouted loudly:

"Tonight's opponents are 200 Frost Bears. They're very slow. Everyone's mission is to drive and lure them.

"First lead them around the territory for a bit, have some fun.

"Drain their stamina completely, then try to kill them as quickly as possible.

"Best to focus attacks on their eyes and head, don't damage the fur too much.

"Once we finish killing them today, we'll use their hides to make you new bear leather armor — absolutely sturdy.

"Understood?"

Zhao Chi's demands were not few.

But for these female soldiers, it was entirely doable.

It was just a matter of burning a bit more stamina, but getting complete pelts meant preserving more of the material's quality.

"Understood!"

The women shouted in unison.

Setting everything else aside, just hearing that they could get new leather armor made them happy.

Although leather armor was armor, it was also clothing — having new clothes to wear activated their nature.

Running around a bit more was just like going shopping.

Gu Qing laughed: "Haha, wonderful, everyone get moving, let's go walk the little bears!"

Tang Ruan gripped her shield tightly: "Right, let's walk the bears, move out!"

Zhao Chi burrowed into Qiyue's body and set off with one squad of female soldiers.

The female craftsmen were also led by their respective work-group leaders, carrying torches and following behind.

The group advanced west for a while.

Suddenly they heard various roars coming from ahead.

Immediately after came the howling of animals, and the sound of trees toppling.

It was probably the Frost Bears attacking animals.

Zhao Chi ordered: "Everyone spread out, each of you just lure one Frost Bear. If the situation gets dangerous, don't worry about the pelts — safe kills are the bottom line!"

"Understood!"

Soon, the female soldiers had all spread out.

From one big fire cluster, they became individual small fire points.

Zhao Chi, piloting Qiyue, was the fastest.

The long legs kept bouncing and hopping.

Soon he saw a patch of giant white bears ahead.

They really were giant bears.

Even on all fours, their backs reached Qiyue's chest.

If they stood up, they might be two to three meters tall?

Those bears were tearing at and fighting over a wild deer, their mouths full of fresh blood.

Staining their white fur red.

Qiyue raised the torch, quickly drawing their attention.

"Roar——!!"

"Grr——!"

A dozen-plus white Frost Bears roared loudly.

Zhao Chi pulled a wooden spear from behind Qiyue and hurled it with force.

Whoosh!

The wooden spear flew straight and true, piercing straight through the face of the Frost Bear in front.

That Frost Bear was furious.

It let out a terrifying roar.

Its massive paw slammed down hard on the wooden spear in its face.

Not only did it knock the spear away, it even tore off a large chunk of facial skin where the spearhead had pierced.

Bloody mess all over its face.

Now it was even angrier.

The roar sounded again.

In an instant, a blue glow swirled around its body.

The next second, a semi-transparent pale-blue ice armor appeared on its body.

The dozen-plus Frost Bears beside it roared in the same way, then ice armor clad their bodies.

Zhao Chi smiled.

He waved the torch in his hand, then began to back away.

Those ice bears seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then they crowded together and charged in fury.

The small trees along the way were swatted and crushed by them, truly like white steamrollers, full of momentum.

But momentum alone cannot kill a person.

Qi Yue nimbly dodged left and right, deliberately letting the trees become their obstacles, making them waste stamina on the trees.

Soon, the female soldiers also arrived to support.

Those female soldiers waved their torches, each successfully drawing one away, leading them off in different directions to exhaust them.

Only the ice bear that Zhao Chi had stabbed in the cheek kept staring at Zhao Chi, fuming with rage and refusing to leave.

But because it was too angry, it chased him without any regard for its stamina.

Now it was already panting heavily.

Large amounts of hot breath kept shooting from its mouth.

Zhao Chi 【Qi Yue, that's about enough. I'll use a combat technique to attack, you pay close attention】

Qi Yue 【Understood, thank you, my lord, for the guidance】

Zhao Chi 【Probably two uses of the combat technique will be enough to finish it off, or if you want to conserve spiritual power, one use of the combat technique combined with ordinary attacks can also finish it】

Qi Yue 【Understood】

Zhao Chi looked around; the surroundings were safe.

He placed the torch on a tree branch.

Then he took off the iron shield and iron blade.

In three steps he rushed to the ice bear's front.

"Roar!!!"

The ice bear saw that Zhao Chi actually dared to come at it proactively, and furiously swatted out a paw.

Naturally, it swatted empty air.

Zhao Chi held the shield against his side, and with his right hand raised the blade from low to high.

"Combat Technique — Continuous Dance!"

Swish swish swish!

Three blade shadows flashed past in an instant.

One slash shattered the ice armor.

One slash tore through the fur.

One slash drove straight into the throat.

All of it took one second.
