Chapter 393: Chapter 392: Wood Style Tree Realm Descent Chapter 393: Chapter 392: Wood Style Tree Realm Descent Thump!
Just as Qiuqiu was about to touch the ground, the ice finally lted and Chen Yixin landed on her buttocks in a snow pit. Before she could even cry out, a blazing torrent swept up the snow from the ground and sprayed it all over her face.
“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!”
Chen Yixin wiped the snow off her face, looking at Qiuqiu with a glare of resentnt.
Huff—
Noticing her gaze, Qiuqiu—broad-chested and proud—snorted out two streams of warm air from its nostrils.
“Professor!”
The people who rushed over quickly helped Chen Yixin up and, after confirming she was alright, looked gratefully at Shao Zifeng, who was still cradled in Qiuqiu’s arms.
Indeed, Shao Zifeng was being held in Qiuqiu’s embrace in a rather embarrassing position.
“Zifeng, brother, we owe you one again this ti,” said Zhao Li, his face reddening slightly. They were supposed to protect Chen Yixin, but it was always Shao Zifeng who ended up looking after them as well.
Gazing at the dozens of ters wide and hundreds of ters long collapse zone, he felt a sense of negligence. Without Shao Zifeng, Zhao Li didn’t dare to imagine the consequences of encountering those events…
Although he also found it strange that this journey was fraught with so many disasters.
But that didn’t matter.
They must rember the favor!
Shao Zifeng, feeling utterly drained, nudged Qiuqiu, signaling to be let down.
But Qiuqiu feigned ignorance, looking around dumbly while its strong paws held him tightly, its long tail sweeping back and forth across the ground.
With a wry smile, Shao Zifeng said, “Umm… got any water? I’m dying of thirst.”
“Here, drink mine.”
“Drink mine.”
“Back off, mine’s better. It’s sweeter…”
“Nonsense, mine clearly tastes better.”
Shao Zifeng, watching the people tugging at straws encircling him, collectively turning into mother hens, suddenly rembered the fear of being dominated by muscular n during the competition in the Yundu Region.
Indeed, the sisters were more fragrant.
Crash!
Just then, the sound of colliding ice blocks made everyone’s heart tighten.
Turning their heads, they saw the Ice Rock Snow Bull King with red eyes, slowly climbing up the collapsed ice blocks. Only then did the group realize that due to the collapse, the nearly vertical ice cliff had beco a gentle slope.
Following the Ice Rock Snow Bull King’s ascent, a clamor arose from below, clearly indicating that the herd of bulls was climbing up.
Huff.
Looking at the people in front of it, the Ice Rock Snow Bull King let out a gust of hot air from its nostrils, its blood-red eyes staring fixedly at them.
Up close, Shao Zifeng and the others could fully see the Ice Rock Snow Bull King’s massive form.
Big!
Very big!
The shoulders of the Ice Rock Snow Bull King stood over three ters tall, its body covered with snow-white long hair that was not soft, but clung to its fra like ice crystals, shimring with a crystalline luster.
Dangling from its chest like a male lion was a thick mane. Atop its head, four ice-blue sharp horns jutted out—two pointing forward and two skyward, looking incredibly sharp.
Qiuqiu, already considered massive by the group’s standard with a shoulder height just over two ters, was quite smaller compared to the Ice Rock Snow Bull King.
But Qiuqiu was long.
As the incessant clattering of colliding ice blocks continued, one after another, Ice Rock Snow Bulls appeared behind the Ice Rock Snow Bull King.
Compared to the king, these Ice Rock Snow Bulls were much smaller—only a little more than two ters tall, roughly the size of Qiuqiu.
But their swarming together in large numbers was still a terrifying sight.
“Professor, what should we do?”
Zhao Li and the others positioned Chen Yixin behind them, with seven Fire Phoenix Pheasants circling overhead.
“Although I don’t know the original species of these bulls,” Chen Yixin said, looking at the red-eyed Ice Rock Snow Bulls, “in general, bovines are relatively docile creatures. If we can subdue the bull king, the problem shouldn’t be too big.”
Easy to say, but subduing the bull king amidst the herd was far from easy.
“Moo!”
The Ice Rock Snow Bull King clearly wasn’t going to give them ti to discuss.
It let out a low roar and again bowed its head, its upper and lower four horns forming a wedge pointed straight ahead. Getting poked by it would result in four holes.
“Qiuqiu!”
Upon hearing Shao Zifeng’s voice, Qiuqiu put him down on the ground and rubbed his cheek with its uneven face, then the dark-red scales on the back of its head suddenly flared out.
Golden-red pupils flickered with flas, an invisible wave brewing within it.
“Roar!!”
A roar laced with dragon’s might swept across the field like a peal of thunder, the bloodline suppression from a higher lifeform instantly spreading out.
The Ice Rock Snow Bull King trembled, a hint of fear flashing in its bloodshot eyes, and the hundreds of low and middle-tier Ice Rock Snow Bulls behind it couldn’t bear it either, trembling and lying prostrate on the ground, shaking like chaff.
Seeing its own kin submit to the small figure in front of it, a wave of humiliating anger surged in the proud heart of the Ice Rock Snow Bull King.
“Moo!”
Its eyes were blood-red like congested vessels, its head lowered, muscles bulging, and the ice beneath its hooves as hard as solid ice suddenly cracked explosively.
Then it moved its limbs, the four horns flickering with white light charging toward Qiuqiu.
Boom!
The fire-entwined Dragon Claw collided with the horns, centering them, the ground instantly splintered.
Ice shards and rocks flew mid-air, scattering everywhere beneath the blast of the shock wave.
“Damn!”
Watching the approaching debris, everyone’s eyes widened.
At that mont, a tall figure stepped forward and shielded everyone behind him.
Thud, thud, thud.
The dull sounds continued, the Emperor Penguin endured the pain on its body, its gaze fixed firmly on the two mutant creatures fighting in the middle of the battlefield.
Amid the flying debris, the herd of Ice Rock Snow Bulls grew restless.
Many bulls stood up, uneasily pawing at the icy ground with their hooves.
“Professor, should we take action?”
Zhao Li looked at the herd, his expression sowhat worried.
Although the professor made sense, they couldn’t help but worry if the Bull King disregarded the rules. If it couldn’t win and decided to charge again in desperation, they could be crushed.
Boom, boom, boom!
The battle continued, all the flying rocks blocked by the Emperor Penguin.
Shao Zifeng peeked out from below the fin-like limbs of the Emperor Penguin.
The Emperor Penguin let out a simple call and lifted its fin-like limbs even higher.
“Thank you.”
Watching the close-combat battle in the arena, Shao Zifeng’s face showed concern.
Ever since Qiuqiu learned Dragon Claw, it beca very enthusiastic about hand-to-hand combat.
This child couldn’t have beco a lost cause following Lingling, could it?
In such a situation, wouldn’t a powerful move be enticing?
“Zifeng, does your pet have any wide-range control abilities?”
Shao Zifeng was startled, then thought it over carefully.
He nodded; indeed, there seed to be one.
“Have your pet use the skill to control the herd,” urged Chen Yixin, waving her little fist with a mischievous smile on her face, “then we all rush in and take down that Bull King!”
Shao Zifeng, seeing her sowhat girlish act, was montarily at a loss for words.
Chen Yixin also realized, and quickly composed her expression, urging in a serious tone, “Co on, hurry up!”
He drew a line in the air, and the illusionary Space Rift slowly opened, emitting countless starlights.
“Duke, are you going to cleanse the Earth of its sins again?”
Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched: “Lingling, use Thorny Forest.”
“As you wish!”
Lingling floated mid-air, its ethereal hair flying wildly, its eyes sparkling with dazzling starlight.
It tilted its delicate chin upward, holding the ornate Starlight Scepter in one hand, pointing slantingly at the gloomy sky.
“Wood Style: Tree Realm Descent.”
“Pfft—”
Shao Zifeng spat out a mouthful of blood.
