Chapter 148

No problem. Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Yue Li nodded, "Tomorrow..."

No, let's try again today. Qin Chuan interrupted Yue Li's words, lifted his head and looked at her.

Their eyes met; seeing Qin Chuan's determined and bright gaze, Yue Li fell silent for a moment, "On this dream day, my second and third talents can no longer be used."

It's fine. Qin Chuan quickly thought of a solution, "Snow Cream and Brave Heart, I only need one chance to strike."

One strike is enough.

The youth's soaring confidence seemed to refract like a brilliant, colorful gem, causing the girl gazing at him to momentarily lose herself.

Well... Yue Li noticed her lapse, hastily glanced aside, after a moment slightly pursed her lips, "What should I do?"

Qin Chuan smiled.

No rush; in the next three hours we could even go treasure hunting first."——【Daily Ranking Settlement Begins】

【Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1st place on the Spirit Beast Ranking (Elite Tier), gaining +200 Experience Gem】

【Congratulations…】

Watching the lines of text appear before his eyes, after sweeping the surrounding resources, Qin Chuan's expression twitched slightly as he returned with Yue Li to the area outside the Snow Mountain's base.

He remembered that at this time yesterday, he was second on the Spirit Beast Ranking, while first place was Eriket, who defeated Songban Zhigui in a one-versus-three battle.

Today he had no remarkable battle results, yet he was first? Sensing a possibility, Qin Chuan immediately opened the Spirit Beast Ranking.

On the list, the name of that male lion could no longer be seen.

Did Eriket delete his account that quickly?" Yue Li beside him reacted just as fast; seeing this, her expression showed surprise.

Not necessarily; maybe he left Area 3273?" Qin Chuan then glanced down at the other players on the ranking, slightly shook his head, "Songban Zhigui isn't on the list either."

You mean Eriket might have left Area 3273 to escape Songban Zhigui's pursuit, and Songban Zhigui, in order to chase him, also left?" Yue Li thought, "That is possible."

Regardless, them not being in Area 3273 is good for us." Qin Chuan smiled, "We also need to hurry and kill the Great Flashfreeze Bird, then leave this place."

Hmm... Yue Li nodded, glanced worriedly at Qin Chuan, "Are you really confident?"

Trust me." Qin Chuan returned a firm gaze.

Then I'll trust you this once." Yue Li pursed her lips.

She did not ask Qin Chuan where this confidence came from, just as she did not wish to reveal her real situation; even close partners should have their own private space.

Time passed second by second; Qin Chuan began to orderly arrange the battle plan.

Xiao Hong's power repels Shui Hua and Snow Cream, and on Snow Mountain it can only exert a small part, so in the upcoming battle she need not participate; your task is to find a Spirit Beast to serve as a setup for Snow Cream's strike.

"Squeak~" Xiao Hong swayed her tail, received the order, and left.

Xiao Qing and Shui Hua will restrain the opponent, buying time to create an opening for Snow Cream to strike.

Snow Cream, prepare for the final strike.

The three beasts nodded in unison, clarifying the upcoming course of action.

Qin Chuan glanced at the time, casually added one second to Time Stop, then waited in silence.

【07:59:45/08:00:01】【00:00:18】

Let's go.

Qin Chuan led Yue Li and the four Spirit Beasts, stepping one foot into the border of the Great Flashfreeze Bird's territory.

Ga—

A sharp cry echoed across the entire Snow Mountain; the Great Flashfreeze Bird's figure swiftly approached, then hovered above the heads of the two persons and four beasts.

Its gaze was indifferent as in the previous challenge, as if it had never seen the challengers before.

And that was the fact.

According to the challenge rules, after the previous challenge ended, its memory of the challenge process was lost.

This meant Shui Hua could again use Blood Control Ability to strike unexpectedly, and Snow Cream could deliver that crucial blow while the opponent remained unaware of their abilities; but merely that was not enough to win.

Still needed a little golden finger.

【Challenge Begins】

After a ten-second 'cutscene,' as the four-word prompt appeared, the Great Flashfreeze Bird, just like last time, suddenly dove down.

【07:59:55/08:00:01】【00:00:18】

Greeting the Great Flashfreeze Bird was Shui Hua's solemn bark.

Woof!!!

The Great Flashfreeze Bird's body stiffened abruptly; raising its wings ready to flap, the ultra‑fast diving form instantly lost balance, and before it could adjust it plunged straight into the suddenly appearing tornado.

Xiao Qing made a move.

A violent whirlwind entangled the Great Flashfreeze Bird's massive body, spinning it at high speed until its outline blurred, and in an instant it had completed dozens of revolutions.

Even though it was a Hall Tier Great Flash-freeze Bird, under such a combo it was somewhat dazed.

It took a full two seconds for it to recover from the dizziness, then it burst forth with a terrifying aura, and simultaneously its wings shuddered violently.

The howling ice storm tore the tornado apart; the Great Flash-freeze Bird, having steadied its form, shook its head, and its sharp giant claws instantly snatched at the nearest figure.

It grasped at empty air, only catching a shattered afterimage, and the Great Flash-freeze Bird momentarily froze.

A clone?

The powerful energy surge behind it made the Great Flash-freeze Bird's heart jolt; it swiftly turned around, only to be instantly engulfed by a great waterfall descending from the heavens.

Boom!!!

The Heavenly Waterfall's rolling strangling force erupted instantly; the immense pressure from all sides caused the Great Flash-freeze Bird's entire body to burst with cold, attempting to condense the water flow into ice.

Woof!!!

Another bark rang out at this critical moment, and the Great Flash-freeze Bird felt its blood run cold, as if its heart were clenched by an invisible hand.

Again like this!

The Great Flash-freeze Bird's eyes flared with anger; cold burst from its whole body, and the great waterfall instantly froze.

It, fully focused on the battle before it, didn't notice at all that in the corner, Xiao Hong was holding down a hopeless juvenile-stage little rock monster, and Xue Gao delivered the final blow.

The little rock monster died, and the Brave Heart triggered.

Xue Gao rushed out brandishing a knife.

【07:59:59/08:00:01】【00:00:18】

The Great Rapid Freeze Bird that had completely frozen the heavenly waterfall burst out of the ice, just in time to face the already prepared Xue Gao.

It let out a cry, and without thinking, it lashed out with a vicious claw.

「Crack—」

The sound of shattering ice echoed, and the Great Rapid Freeze Bird's whole body instantly was covered with a thin layer of frost.

【Frost Cold】, activated!

After seeking the frost traces, Xue Gao reappeared elsewhere, raising the Frost Hilt Slash Horse high, and struck down with extreme lethal intent! 【08:00:00/08:00:01】【00:00:18】

The freezing chill surging around the Great Rapid Freeze Bird stalled, its gaze froze, and the supernatural power defending its massive body instantly dropped to zero due to stagnation.

It, which freezes everything with ice power, now has everything frozen by an overwhelming force.

As everything around fell into absolute silence, the whole world seemed to contain only the endless cold light of that slash, which, with irresistible force, split the Great Rapid Freeze Bird in two.

【08:00:01/08:00:01】【00:00:19】

【Dream World Entrance Closed】
