Chapter 38: Fierce Battle!

A stone nearby was suddenly pushed aside, revealing the dark-skinned face of a middle-aged woman.

Sang Qi's originally dead, gray eyes instantly lit up.

The middle-aged woman was his mother!

His parents hid in an underground cavern, then concealed the entrance with stones, trees, and house ruins.

Sang Qi hurried over.

As long as his parents are safe, that's good.

As long as they hide in this cavern, waiting for the Lion King to kill these transcendent ice rhinos, they'll truly be safe! "Run!"

However, before he could reach the cavern, his mother suddenly shouted, "Run!"

Sang Qi:? He saw the giant lion behind him and then realized.

His mother must have mistaken the frost lion for a bloodthirsty beast, which is why she told him to run.

"Mom, don't be afraid! It's the Frost Lion General; it won't harm us."

Sang Qi had just begun to explain when a rumbling roar came from not far away, the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly, as if some terrifying huge beast were charging toward them.

Sang Qi turned around and immediately saw, a hundred meters away, a huge rhinoceros over three meters tall charging straight at him.

To be precise—it was charging toward the Frost Lion, Xiongba.

This was a low-tier transcendent ice-armored black rhinoceros.

Sang Qi hurriedly hid inside the cavern, then observed the outside through a crack.

Seeing the ice-armored black rhinoceros charging straight at him.

Xiongba wasn't startled but delighted; he had been worrying about how to protect and monitor this human kid, with no chance to fight—then the enemy delivered itself right to his door! Ice spikes sprang up from nowhere beneath the ice-armored black rhinoceros, piercing its skin and driving into its body.

The ice-armored black rhinoceros winced in pain and collapsed heavily to the ground.

After advancing to medium-tier transcendent, Xiongba awakened a second transcendent ability, Ice Spur.

Condensing ice spiritual power into spikes to pierce the enemy.

Its first transcendent ability is Condensing Ice Technique, which can quickly condense ice spiritual power into solid form; combined, these two abilities are extremely powerful!

Before the ice-armored black rhinoceros could get up, Xiongba pounced again, his sharp claws slashing repeatedly and easily tearing apart its outer ice armor.

Although Ice Spur alone could kill this ice-armored black rhinoceros, Xiongba preferred the feeling of claws sinking into flesh.

After tearing open the ice-armored black rhinoceros's ice armor, the lion's claws swung again, fresh red blood gushing out; having killed this low-tier transcendent ice-armored black rhinoceros, Xiongba's icy-blue eyes instantly turned toward another, larger ice-armored black rhinoceros in the distance.

It craved battle, craving to become stronger through combat!

But after thinking, Xiongba still didn't go over; he knew his most important duty now was to guard and protect that human.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

At the same time, rising and falling lion roars came from not far away.

The entire frost lion pride joined the battle!

One after another, transcendent ice lions braved the blizzard and charged fearlessly at the transcendent ice rhinos.

Their eyes burned with fervor, their roars deafening, they eagerly joined the battle with great excitement!

The originally slumbering ice-armored white rhinoceros suddenly heard a loud noise, slowly opened its emerald-green pupils, and woke from sleep.

Immediately it discovered that many huge lions had appeared in the town, fighting its kin and subordinates!

Other transcendent beings were invading its territory! Suddenly, its pupils constricted, and it darted toward the distant west.

It was a pure-white young lion; though it looked like a cub, its size was astonishing—over seven meters tall.

The ice-armored white rhinoceros saw Chen Mo at the same time Chen Mo was gazing at the ice-armored white rhinoceros.

In the vast blizzard, the icy-blue eyes and the gaze of the ice-armored white rhinoceros locked! Both sides emanated the overbearing aura of top-tier predators!

The battle was about to erupt! "Very strong!"

The ice-armored white rhinoceros could roughly sense the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the Lion King—a transcendent being far stronger than itself.

However, it had no intention of retreating because of that. Besides confidence in its own defenses,

but also because this town is now its territory!

The reason it chose to invade and seize this town

was not only to obtain ample food, but more importantly—

its hatred of humanity.

When it was young, it once saw its father shot and killed by humans.

From then on, upon seeing humans, it would desperately flee.

Until just over two months ago, when spiritual qi revived.

After eating a strange herb on the grassland, it successfully awakened and gained intelligence.

After awakening, it swelled in size.

First, relying on absolute power and defense, it conquered its own kind, then began frenziedly expanding its territory, hunting other transcendent beings.

As recently as the day before yesterday, it discovered a divine medicine; after consuming it, its strength broke through to high-tier transcendent.

Feeling its power vastly increased, the ice-armored white rhinoceros led the rhinoceros herd and the other beasts it had subdued in an attack on this town.

This time, human bullets could no longer pierce its hide, only eliciting mournful cries beneath its iron hooves.

It greatly liked and enjoyed this feeling.

—————————

In the vast snowstorm.

Some humans hidden in the ruins or various concealed locations were secretly observing the outside situation.

They naturally saw the lion pride and the frost giant lion that was a full seven meters long.

This left their hearts like dead ash, utterly desperate.

Just the giant white rhino had already plunged the whole town into desperation, and now an even stronger-looking ice lion has appeared—it simply gives them no chance to survive! What on earth is happening in this world? Why have so many giant beasts suddenly appeared? Could the apocalypse really be coming?

But soon, the humans in the ruins discovered—

This ice lion–shaped giant beast actually charged straight toward the giant white rhino in the center of the square!

The two giant beasts seem to be about to fight!?

Chen Mo released the Ice Storm when the distance between them was still 70 meters.

The maximum range for releasing the Ice Storm is about 50 meters, but its killing radius is still 20 meters.

In the next instant, fierce winds howled around the ice-armored white rhino, and sharp ice blades, like a sudden shower, sliced at the ice-armored white rhino right in the storm's center.

Clang clang clang! Seeing this, the ice-armored white rhino didn't even dodge; the ice blades struck its armor with a clear sound, but this only left cracks on the armor's surface and didn't shatter it at all!

At the same time, the ice-armored white rhino's jade-like ice armor glowed with a faint blue light, and immediately a stream of frigid cold air surged toward Chen Mo.

Ice Frost Breath

Chen Mo's speed and reaction were astonishingly fast, and he easily dodged it.

Now his agility attribute reaches 80 points, exceeding half the speed of sound! Seeing that his Ice Storm merely pierced the armor, the ice-armored white rhino quickly reformed a new layer of ice armor on its body, which surprised Chen Mo a bit.

The defense of this ice-armored white rhino is truly astonishing.

But it's not a big problem.

While dodging the Ice Frost Breath, he had already reached the front of the ice-armored white rhino! Immediately the ice lion leapt high, this 7-meter-plus long beast erupting with its utterly unscientific leaping ability (Jump Jump Lion), actually soaring over ten meters! The distance of over fifty meters was closed in an instant! With just one great leap, the ice lion directly pounced onto the ice-armored white rhino!

The ice-armored white rhino instinctively tried to dodge, but the ice lion's speed was simply too fast—it had no time to react!

After Chen Mo leapt onto the ice-armored white rhino, he aimed at its ears and unleashed an Ice Wind Roar.

The next second, the roar exploded like thunder beside the ice-armored white rhino's ears!
