Chapter 608: Chapter 607: Gathering Together

Shao Zifeng suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the corpse nailed to the wall quickly softened as it lost the support of the "virus." The shrunken and tight cuticle slowly stretched out, resembling a skeleton covered in skin swaying on the wall, devoid of any sense of weight.

Only...

He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that the virus seemed like some NT, chanting ’despicable blasphemer’ like a broken record whenever it saw him. What was supposed to be a serious and tense situation was turned into something laughable by this low-intelligence entity.

He reached out to touch Lingling’s little head, "Thank you, Lingling."

Lingling shook her head, the long knife in her hand dissolving as she hugged Shao Zifeng’s large hand, rubbing her small hands over it.

Yu Xiaoyu stood behind them, about to speak, but before she could say anything, she saw Lingling, who had been rubbing her little face against Shao Zifeng’s hand, suddenly turn her head and give her a cold sneer, scaring Yu Xiaoyu to shiver and hide behind Li Yiren.

Li Yiren showed an expression of helplessness, "Big Brother Shao, what should we do next?"

Shao Zifeng’s gaze withdrew from the corpse as he pulled out the Whale Horn Blade and sheathed it. Looking out from here, he noticed that the spots chosen by a few individuals were pretty good; since this was far from the safety exit, almost everyone was gathered on the other side of the arena.

After a moment of contemplation, Shao Zifeng asked, "Where did Li Yiming and the others go?"

"They said they were going to kill some infected," Li Yiren bit her lip, "Can you... Big Brother Shao?"

Shao Zifeng didn’t answer immediately, his right hand once again resting on the hilt of the Whale Horn Blade, "Get ready, they seem to be coming back."

"Whoo~woo~"

The Snow Feather Owl conjured long ice blades with its wings, viciously crossing them to slash at the monster’s chest.

The monster trembled violently, its shriveled chest now engraved with two crossed ice scars as it screeched and flew backward, but the gap it left was quickly filled by other monsters, continuing their ferocious attack on the enclosed individuals.

Ding~

Xiang Nan cradled the Wraith Soul in one arm, his form slowly emerging from the air, the notched dagger in his hand leaving a white trail on the monster’s body. The enraged monster roared and swung its long arm down at Xiang Nan’s head.

"Shit." Xiang Nan, who hastily blocked the strike, felt a surge of force through his dagger, nearly dropping it. He leaned against Casar’s back, panting heavily, "I can’t hold on much longer. How much farther do we have?"

"Almost... there," Casar used his waist knife to block a claw strike, quickly glanced over, then awkwardly responded, "Just hold on a har more."

A har more?

Xiang Nan nearly got caught as he did a double-take, his dagger flipping over in anger to pierce the joint of the monster, "Whose accent are you even learning, man?"

Casar was momentarily at a loss for words, and Hu Shiwu next to him nearly burst out laughing.

Who else but the enthusiastic man Hu himself?

Seeing the growing number of monsters around them, Li Yiming quickly said, "Stop fooling around, we’re almost there. We can’t lead these monsters back with us. Now’s a good time to hit them with a counter-attack since there are fewer people here."

Hu Shiwu’s eyes lit up, "You tell me."

Li Yiming kicked the monster in the head in front of him, chest heaving as he stepped back, "Use Vine Strangulation to gather the monsters, Casar’s Cold Wind to freeze them, and leave the final blow to my Cannon Clamp Shrimp Soldier."

"Got it!" Hu Shiwu said with some excitement, "I’ll start then. Sleepy Orchid, Vine Strangulation."

"Beep—"

The Sleepy Orchid’s sword-like leaves flicked, and a burst of green luminescence erupted from its small eyes.

Swish swish swish!

Dozens of vines burst from the ground, encircling the monster like unraveling balls of yarn. They weaved rapidly through and around the monster’s body, and upon Hu Shiwu’s command, the chaotic tangle of vines contracted instantly, bundling all the monsters together.

Casar, seeing the monsters gathered in one place, urgently shouted in the Taji Clan language, "Snow, Cold Wind."

"Whoo~whoo~"

The Snow Feather Owl swooped down from the sky, flaring its wings just before landing to halt its descent. It faced the roaring mass of monsters, with ice-blue elemental particles rapidly gathering on its wings.

Boom!

The wings clapped together, and a frigid wind mixed with ice particles smashed down on the group of monsters. Whitish frost visibly spread across their bodies, eventually turning them into a collection of hideous ice sculptures.

After completing its task, the Snow Feather Owl soared upwards, revealing the Cannon Clamp Shrimp Soldier behind it, its giant clippers slightly open as energy quickly compressed within. The ice-blue clippers began to faintly glow red.

"Xia!"

When the energy reached its peak, the Cannon Clamp Shrimp Soldier raised its claw and the High Temperature Cannon fired abruptly, the recoil causing it to slide backward.

The High Temperature Energy Bullet, wrapped in spiraling streams of air, hurtled through layers of cold mist and like a cannonball plunged into the bundled ice sculpture monsters.

The ice sculptures made soft cracking noises as they began to split, with countless fractures rapidly spreading across their surfaces.

Rumble!

After a brief silence, the collision of intense heat and extreme cold triggered a violent reaction. Almost instantaneously, the energy tore the monsters and the vines to pieces. Broken limbs and debris rained down everywhere, and waves of steam mixed with an unpleasant smell enveloped the area.

"Damn it!" Hu Shiwu clenched his fist forcefully, "The danger’s passed, let’s hurry up and go."

"Hiss-swa!"

Just as they were about to leave, a series of low growls came from the steam around them. Their bodies instantly stiffened in place.

In the misty steam, aside from the area where the explosion had just occurred, shadows flickered continuously, and pairs of purple-black eyes greedily watched them.

Hu Shiwu trembled violently and yelled, "Run!! What are you waiting for!"

"We can’t go!"

Li Yiming quickly grabbed Casar and Xiang Nan, "We can’t lead these monsters to Teacher Yu Xiaoyu and the others..."

"Yo~ You guys put up a good fight."

Just then, a familiar voice came from the midst of the steam. The faces of the group lit up with surprise. They followed the sound and saw Shao Zifeng emerge from the steam with a smile, Lingling with a long Tang sword by his side, and Li Yiren holding pure water bubbles and pulling Yu Xiaoyu along.

"Captain!" Hu Shiwu cheered, running toward him with an excited expression.

Swish!

A flash of the blade’s light, and Hu Shiwu stopped dead. He looked down at the Tang sword pointed at his neck and forced an ugly smile, "Lingling, sis..."

Shao Zifeng patted Lingling’s head, "Okay, we still have enemies to face. Are you ready?"

"Mhm!" Lingling nodded vigorously, "Don’t worry, Duke, Lingling will protect you~"

"Then..." Shao Zifeng looked at the beleaguered group, placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and his eyes were suddenly covered in ice-blue, "Let’s begin!"
