Chapter 2286
【Announcement: Participant Yamu (Sanctuary Paradise) has been eliminated. Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise) temporarily holds 2 Champion's Medals.】
As soon as this announcement appeared, except for the Night Witch, the other seven participants were very surprised. Yamu was eliminated too quickly. The Powerhouse Contest had just begun.
On the snowfield, the Night Witch looked at the place where Yamu disappeared and walked toward the north. Although she didn't know the exact location of the Peak Mountains, she could roughly judge the direction of the Peak Mountains through the shrinking trajectory of the blizzard at the edge.
Just after the Night Witch left, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was blending into the environment, followed quickly. Its task now was very simple: just follow the Night Witch.
Su Xiao received Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's message. He didn't rush over immediately, as that would wipe out his team's advantage.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could blend into the environment. The probability of the other party noticing it following the Night Witch was very low.
Just now, Su Xiao had recalled Amu, while Benny continued to act freely.
Su Xiao's plan was to let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang follow first to judge the Night Witch's movement trajectory. After figuring out the Night Witch's movement trajectory, Su Xiao would let Amu ambush on the Night Witch's path.
The snowfield was not only Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's home turf but also Amu's home turf. Amu was often sensed by others, not because it couldn't restrain its aura, but because its aura had the characteristics of ice. In a normal environment, that kind of cold aura was easy to be noticed.
It was different on the snowfield. The temperature here was around minus 40 degrees. As long as Amu hid in the snow and restrained its aura, it was unlikely to be discovered by enemies who were not specialized in perception.
Three kilometers away from the Night Witch, Su Xiao was receiving Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's news through the team channel. According to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's observation, the Night Witch had been moving north.
After following for more than an hour, Amu came to meet Su Xiao. White hot air puffed out from Amu's nostrils.
What the Night Witch didn't know was that she had been semi-surrounded. Baja was 2.15 kilometers in front of her, Su Xiao and Amu were 2.73 kilometers behind her, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was following not far or near.
Su Xiao arranged it this way mainly because the number of remaining participants was too large. Excluding himself and the Night Witch, there were seven other participants.
Once he and the Night Witch fought head-on, other participants would reap the benefits. Even if Su Xiao wasn't directly eliminated, he would fall into a disadvantage due to serious injuries.
At this time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had determined the Night Witch's direction of travel. Su Xiao let Amu speed up, bypass the Night Witch from the flank, and arrive in front of the Night Witch.
Half an hour later, Amu successfully ambushed 1.6 kilometers in front of the Night Witch, hiding in the snow, waiting for the Night Witch to pass over it.
Unfortunately, the first ambush failed. The Night Witch walked 62.4 meters to the right of Amu. With the Night Witch's strength, a surprise attack from this distance wouldn't have a very good effect.
After the Night Witch walked past the area where Amu ambushed, Amu crawled out of the snow, continued to bypass the Night Witch's flank, and ambushed in front of her for the second time.
There was a big gap between the expectation and the actual execution. The Night Witch passed by Amu's ambush point for the second time, about 36.9 meters away from Amu. This was not a suitable distance for a surprise attack.
On the snowfield, the Night Witch looked at the gray sky and tightened her collar.
As a hunter, patience was essential. After Amu ambushed 7 times, this time the Night Witch's route was very close to it, almost stepping over it.
The Night Witch walking on the snow yawned. She didn't expect that in the fifth round, she would feel a bit bored. In the past few hours, she had been on the road. Not to mention other participants, she didn't even see a living creature.
"What a loser, to have the Champion's Medal stolen in this situation. How unlucky can one be?"
Just as the Night Witch muttered, suddenly, she felt a cold air spreading from under her feet.
Crack, crack, crack...
The cold ice spread instantly, almost freezing the Night Witch in place. The Night Witch jumped backward in mid-air. The witch hat on her head fell, and her purple long hair scattered.
Before the Night Witch landed, red patterns appeared on her skin all over her body. These patterns were as thin as hair and very irregular. This was a necessary condition for using a certain ability, and before these red patterns completely "awakened," she couldn't use that kind of life-saving ability.
The moment the Night Witch landed, a spatial fluctuation came from behind her.
"Oh no!"
The Night Witch tilted her body forward with all her might. It had to be said that her reaction power in a crisis was worthy of her status as the lone seedling of the Transcendent Native World.
Baja's claw grabbed empty air. Just as the Night Witch was preparing to counterattack, first using a curse ability to alienate Baja, she felt the ground under her feet shake, and a big hand grabbed her calf.
Baja disappeared, adjusted its orientation with spatial ability, and appeared behind the Night Witch's head again.
Puchi!
Baja's sharp claws pierced into the Night Witch's back of the neck, and the other sharp claw reached forward, cutting the Night Witch's throat.
The Night Witch's fair cheeks began to turn pale. She felt her body becoming numb. Starting from the neck, the numbness spread to her torso.
Skill 4, Back Attack (Passive lv. 60): If Baja launches a surprise attack from behind the enemy, it will cause Agility x 2 true damage (268 points) + basic damage + 142 points true poison damage.
Skill 5, Throat Cut (Active lv. 44): After Baja triggers Back Attack (Passive), it can immediately connect to this ability, using sharp claws to tear open the enemy's throat, causing 200-700 points of vital damage, and accompanied by 142 points of true poison attribute damage, as well as a severe blood loss effect. Cooldown time 10 hours, consumes 200 mana points.
Skill 6, Poison Shadow (Ultimate Skill · Passive/Active lv. 10): Due to the creator's ability characteristics, Baja gained some bonuses. It contains growth-type biological energy poison in its body, and each attack can cause 142 points of true poison attribute damage to the enemy.
Note: Baja can inject all the poison into the enemy's body at once, causing up to 2500 points of true poison attribute damage. Baja will be weakened for 1-5 seconds.
After Baja's deadly three-hit combo, Baja entered a weakened state. It immediately used spatial ability to pull away the distance, and the rest was left to Amu.
The Night Witch covered her throat with one hand, and the red patterns on her body emitted a faint light, which allowed her numb body to quickly regain sensation.
A cold ice war hammer was swung out from the snow, bringing a whimpering sound of wind breaking toward the Night Witch.
The Night Witch's face was very ugly, and she was very angry in her heart. She wasn't angry that she was ambushed, but angry that she was forced into such a sorry state by two summoned creatures.
The Night Witch's right hand stretched straight. Her originally slender hand suddenly had veins and muscles bulging, and her fingertips also became sharp.
Bang!
The Night Witch's right hand met the cold ice war hammer and directly shattered it.
While shattering the cold ice war hammer, the Night Witch leaned over, and her other palm stabbed downward. After penetrating the snow, her hand stabbed into Amu's shoulder.
Feeling the warmth of flesh and blood on her fingers, a smile appeared on the Night Witch's face, and she gradually became happy in her heart.
