Chapter 169: Mechanism? Instant Kill!

Buzz—

Accompanied by a ripple of spatial fluctuation.

The light of the teleportation array gradually faded from the air.

Lin Mo and his group of twenty figures landed steadily in a world of pure white.

The moment they touched down.

Bone-piercing cold wind, mixed with goose-feather snow, howled and rushed toward their faces.

Looking out, this was an endless white snowfield.

Dark clouds covered the sky.

The terrain around was not flat, featuring rolling small hills.

The snow on the ground was extremely thick; one step down would almost submerge the knee.

Apart from the howling wind, a deathly silence permeated this heaven and earth.

Just as everyone was surveying the surroundings.

A series of prompts appeared on everyone's panels.

【You have entered Team Fuben: Dragon-Burial Snowfield (Hell Grade)】

【Fuben Level Restriction: Lv. 25-Lv. 35】

【Current Fuben Population: 20/20】

【Prompt: After everyone clicks 'Ready', a ten-second countdown will begin, officially starting the strategy timer and activating the first checkpoint.】

【Good luck to all!】

Looking at the prompts on the panel.

Before Lin Mo could speak, the skills could no longer hold back.

【'Earth Shield Technique' poked its head out and foolishly suggested: It's so cold, the wind is so strong, Master, how about I raise four walls first to build a wind-sheltered earth kiln for Master? Let's start a fire inside, warm up, and then fight?】

【'Fireball Technique' glared at it: Build what nonsense! Mere wind and snow, do you think you deserve to make this Lord avoid your edge?】

"Alright, stop arguing."

Lin Mo said in his mind:

"Today our goal is a speedrun; later, everyone push your firepower to the limit. Whoever drops the ball tonight gets no food."

Upon hearing the three words "no food".

The skills instantly became highly excited.

【'Fireball Technique' flared with surrounding flames: Hmph, Master just watch! My firepower is absolutely the strongest in our family!】

【'Earth Shield Technique' shivered in fright and quickly pledged loyalty: Master rest assured! Second Brother I absolutely won't drop the ball! No building walls, Second Brother I will pierce through all monsters!】

【'Lightning Strike Technique' did not speak, but electric arcs wildly danced around it, clearly having entered the highest level of combat state.】

Seeing this, Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction in his mind.

"Achoo—!"

Wang Dawei shivered, rubbed his frozen, stiff hands, and complained:

"Oh my god, this wind feels like knives scraping the face, truly intense."

Ye Kong flexed his wrists, his eyes sharp:

"Dawei, stop shaking, isn't that embarrassing? Show some of our Long Xu Ban's spirit."

"Lingxuan, stand closer to me."

Han Mengqing grabbed Chu Lingxuan beside her, "Still, our Light Knights are warm, with a built-in little sun function."

Chu Lingxuan smiled helplessly and gently released a warm dawn halo.

Lin Mo turned around, facing the group.

"Everyone."

"The little devils from Ying Country broke our fifty-year record and are still spouting nonsense there."

"Today, we will use absolute strength to tell them that Long Country's record is not something just any stray cat or dog can touch!"

Lin Mo's gaze burned like torches, sweeping over every face:

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready! Class Monitor!"

Ye Kong shouted loudly, brimming with fighting spirit.

"Crush them!"

Han Mengqing waved her small fists.

"Good."

Lin Mo's lips curled up, then he waved his large hand:

"Everyone, ready!"

Swish swish swish—

Everyone pressed the ready button simultaneously.

【All ready.】

【First checkpoint activated.】

【Countdown: 10, 9, 8...】

The wind and snow seemed to become even more violent at this moment.

Everyone held their breath; mages gripped their staves tightly, and warriors lowered their centers of gravity.

The instant the countdown reached zero.

At the very top of the panel, a red timer appeared:

【00:00:00】.

Boom—!!!

Almost at the same second the timer ticked, a massive snow dune a hundred meters ahead suddenly collapsed in a violent avalanche!

Snow exploded into the sky, and the earth began to shake wildly.

"Roar—!!!"

Accompanied by four earth-shaking dragon roars.

Four colossal beings violently burst through the ice!

【Frost Dragon Guard, Level: 35】

Their entire bodies were covered in deep blue frost scales.

Horns twisted menacingly from their heads, and their crystalline ice wings stretched wide, each ten meters across.

In their hands, they gripped massive frost war pikes.

The moment the four elite monsters appeared, a terrifying pressure surged like a tidal wave, crushing down on everyone!

"Meng Qing! Apply the buffs!"

Lin Mo shouted loudly.

"Got it!"

In an instant,

Han Mengqing swung her staff.

Rings of light spiraled onto Lin Mo's body.

Lin Mo let out a thunderous roar:

"Everyone, unleash everything!"

Boom—!!!

The Fire Elemental Body and the Lightning Elemental Body activated simultaneously.

Behind Lin Mo's left side, a phantom Infernal Demon rose from the ground.

On his right side,

Blinding lightning flared forth.

Wild thunder intertwined as a majestic phantom Thunder Qilin roared to the heavens, its lightning might dominating all!

At this moment, Lin Mo stood amid the snowstorm, like a god wielding heavenly retribution.

That breathtakingly handsome scene was deeply etched into the eyes of every Long Xu Ban student behind him.

"Xiao Lei."

Lin Mo clenched his right hand in the air.

Lightning Chain Prison!

Zzzzz—!!!

Hundreds of lightning chains shot out at blistering speed toward the four elite monsters.

"Roar—!"

The Dragon Guards roared in protest.

Lightning instantly coursed over their entire bodies.

The electrified status was fully applied.

Immediately after,

Lin Mo did not hesitate—he unleashed full firepower.

"Xiao Huo!"

【'Fireball Spell', face full of excitement: This Seat is here!】

Boom—!!!

A crimson fire tornado formed directly beneath the feet of the four Dragon Guards.

At the same time,

A vast, fan-shaped wave of fire surged forward like a tidal wave, slamming violently into the four monsters.

"Don't stand there! Focus fire!"

Ye Kong roared, and his figure vanished instantly from where he stood.

The next second,

He appeared directly in midair.

"Dimensional Slash Chain!"

Swish—swish—swish—swish—!

Countless pitch-black spatial fissures struck precisely upon the four Dragon Guards.

"Frost Lance of Winter!"

Han Mengyao cried out sharply.

An ice spear condensed in her hand, then shot forth, piercing deep into one Dragon Guard's body.

Immediately after,

Chu Lingxuan's Holy Judgment, the archers in the back row's armor-piercing arrow rain, the water mage's high-pressure water arrows…

The full firepower of twenty top-tier prodigies poured out without restraint onto the four Frost Dragon Guards!

In an instant.

The four Frost Dragon Guards' health bars instantly evaporated by more than half!

Soon, their HP dropped below 20%.

A ring of extreme cold burst violently from within the four Dragon Guards!

【Prompt: The Frost Dragon Guards have entered 'Absolute Ice Seal' state, defense increased by 90%! Immune to all crowd control!】

"The mechanic triggered!"

Han Mengyao's face changed, and she instantly tensed up.

Success or failure hinges on this one strike!

Lin Mo's lips curved up slightly.

He threw both hands up sharply.

"Xiao Tu!"

【'Earth Shield Art' instantly sharpened its expression: I'm here!】

"Take them out!"

Lin Mo gave the order.

Hum—!

Behind him,

several thousand rock spears condensed in an instant.

Blotting out the sky.

Swish swish swish swish swish—!!!

A volley of ten thousand spears!

The Thorned Rock Spears, carrying the absolute trait 【Ignore 50% Defense】, madly baptized those four ice sculptures.

"Xiao Huo, Xiao Lei, send them off!"

Lin Mo threw his head back sharply.

The sky was instantly torn in two!

On the left, crimson fire clouds rolled.

On the right, pitch-black thunderclouds roared!

Immediately after, Lin Mo's hands clenched empty air sharply.

Combo skill: Lei Yan · Purgatory Judgment!

Boom—!

Countless world-ending meteors smashed down upon those four ice sculptures.

Countless brutal pillars of thunder-light enveloped the four Dragon Guards.

At the same time,

countless pillars of thunder flame erupted skyward from beneath the four elite monsters' feet!

Rumble rumble rumble—!!

The terrifying heat and shockwave instantly vaporized all the snow within a kilometer!

【First checkpoint, cleared!】

【Time taken: 12 seconds!】

【After a ten-second countdown, the teleportation will activate and you will enter the second checkpoint.】
