Chapter 53: Fighting the Ice Armored Scorpion Alone
"call!"
Lin Shuo swallowed the last piece of meat, picked up the water bag and took a sip of water. Feeling that his physical strength was restored, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at Qiuqiu in his arms, "How are you?"
"Mi!" (Recovered!)
"That's good." Lin Shuo smiled, and then his expression slowly turned serious, "Are you ready? I'm going to move the rocks."
"Mi!" (Ready!)
"After I move the stone, if there are flying leaf seedlings rushing in, use Frost Storm to repel them, and then we can run away." After explaining, Lin Shuo took a deep breath, picked up the stone and gave it a strong push.
Push to expose the blocked hole again.
Energy surged from Qiuqiu's mouth, frost condensed in his eyes, and he stared in the direction of the cave entrance.
But soon, confusion appeared on its face.
"Mi? (°ω°)" (missing?)
"Huh?" Lin Shuo threw the stone aside and carefully looked out through the hole with a frown. There was no trace of Fei Yemiao anywhere.
Those guys were chasing so fiercely just now, and now they retreated?
He carefully poked his head out to make sure the other party was really gone, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Qiuqiu, we can go out now."
No matter why the Flying Leaf Miaos left, Lin Shuo only knew that he and Qiuqiu were safe for the time being.
He bent down and picked up the oil lamp from the ground, extinguished the sparks and took back the space ring. Lin Shuo gently picked up the ball and walked out of the cave.
He didn't notice that at the moment his shadow intersected with the shadow of the rock he was sitting on, something seemed to pour into his shadow from the shadow.
At the same time, Qiuqiu in Lin Shuo's arms moved his ears.
"Mi?" (What?)
"What's wrong, Qiuqiu?" Lin Shuo asked curiously, watching Qiuqiu being looked around by Shuangtong.
"Mi, Mi...(⊙ω⊙)" (It seemed like there was something just now, but now I don't see it...)
"Maybe it's an illusion. Don't be too nervous. Those flying leaf seedlings probably left because of other things." Lin Shuo touched Qiuqiu's head and said with a smile, "We should be on our way, please continue to help me be vigilant."
Bar."
"Mi!" (Understood!)
Qiuqiu responded, and jumped onto Lin Shuo's head in a familiar manner, looking around with a frosty look in his eyes.
One person and one pet headed towards the snow-capped mountains again. This time, they did not encounter attacks from other strange beasts. Soon, the snow-capped mountains swept by wind, snow and cold appeared in front of Lin Shuo and Qiuqiu.
Arriving in a familiar environment, Qiuqiu cheered and jumped quickly from Lin Shuo's head, jumping lightly in the wind and snow floating in the air, like an elf dancing in the snow.
After looking at Qiuqiu, Lin Shuo smiled, opened the map, determined his position and direction, and then pointed somewhere, "Next, let's head this way, keep a low profile along the way, and go to the Nirvana Pond first..."
"Mi..." (There seems to be something over there...)
The sound of Qiuqiu interrupted Lin Shuo's words. It was originally beating in the air and stopped at some point. Its eyes were filled with frost and it looked somewhere.
"Huh?" Lin Shuo's eyes became more curious, "What is it?"
"Mi, Mi?" (I feel like there are good things over there, can I check it out first and then go to the Nirvana Pond?)
"Of course." Lin Shuo glanced over there, but saw nothing through the wind and snow with extremely poor visibility, "Then let's go take a look first and then go to the Nirvana Pond, but we can't delay too long."
"Mi!?(≧ω≦)?" (Okay!)
After walking dozens of steps in that direction, Lin Shuo paused for a moment, his expression a little more surprised. There was a small ice cave over there, hidden in the wind and snow just now, and he didn't notice it at all.
And from the entrance of the ice cave, there was a faint icy blue light slowly overflowing. Even Lin Shuo could clearly feel the rich supernatural energy. It was obvious that there was some supernatural resource bred in the ice cave. And I’m afraid it’s not easy to judge from this fluctuation.
Looking at Qiuqiu, whose expression became more and more anxious in the air, Lin Shuo smiled hoarsely, "Is this the place you just talked about?"
"Mi!" (It should be!)
"Then let's go in and take a look..." Before Lin Shuo could finish his words, a strange noise suddenly came to his ears. His expression changed and he looked towards the ice cave suddenly.
At the entrance of the originally empty ice cave, a scorpion-like beast the size of a millstone appeared at some point. Its body was like ice crystals. The beast's small blue eyes looked at the intruder warily, and its strong scorpion tail was held high. When it rises, the sharp tail hook shines with an icy light, and a pair of huge scorpion claws seem to be able to cut off everything easily when the double-edged blades are opened and closed.
"Ice-armored scorpion?" Lin Shuo quickly retreated, "Quickly retreat, this is an elite-level alien beast!"
Ice-armored scorpion is a high-level leader race exotic beast. It has dual attributes of ice and poison, core skills of corrosion, talent skills of ice armor, and cold claw killing.
As an elite and high-level leader race, its normal energy value can reach as low as four thousand, which is ten times that of Qiuqiu.
The only option at this stage is to run away.
Although the ice-armored scorpion appeared, it did not take action. It just guarded the entrance of the ice cave and stared at Lin Shuo and Qiuqiu. This also made Lin Shuo more convinced that there was something good in the ice cave, and this ice-armored scorpion was He is the guardian of the supernatural resources in the secret realm.
"Qiuqiu, how about we go to the Nirvana Pool to evolve first and then come back?" Lin Shuo couldn't help but ask.
"Mi! Mi! (?ω?)" (I can win! It can't reach me!)
"Huh?" After hearing Qiuqiu's words, Lin Shuo seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the ice-armored scorpion.
Erosion marks...ice armor...cold claws...
Among the three skills of the Ice Armored Scorpion, the first skill is to use the poison of the tail hook to impose a negative state on the opponent for a long time, the second skill is a protective skill, and the third skill is to attack the opponent with the scorpion claws. Skill.
Are they all melee skills?
Seeing that the opponent was at the elite level before, and realizing the normal energy gap between the two sides, Lin Shuo subconsciously prepared to retreat, but after Qiuqiu reminded him...
It seems, it seems, maybe...
If the ball is flying in the sky, this big guy can't do anything with it?
The attack power of a ball with level II frost storm is enough to threaten the elite ice armor scorpion unless the opponent possesses level III ice armor.
It is basically impossible for this kind of wild elite-level beast to master level III skills, and it is also impossible to master teaching skills.
From this point of view, what Qiuqiu lacks is just energy.
And energy, with the help of energy liquid, recovers very quickly...
As a result, Lin Shuo actually became a little excited.
Try it?
If obtained now, this resource can be absorbed as an additional evolutionary resource when the ball evolves, increasing the probability of it evolving into a more powerful evolutionary type.
Obtaining it after evolving will have no use.
So if possible, it is naturally the best choice to obtain this supernatural resource now.
"Qiuqiu, let's get out of here first." Lin Shuo's eyes flashed and he spoke in a low voice.
"Mi?" (Don't hit?)
"Fight, but we need to prepare in advance." Lin Shuo hugged Qiuqiu, who was approaching, and slowly walked towards the outside of the snow mountain.
There was some thought in his eyes.
It's not impossible to fight that ice-armored scorpion, but there are two problems.
The first problem is that the ball does not have enough energy and needs to carry energy liquid to replenish itself during battle.
The second problem is Lin Shuo himself.
This is not a fair one-on-one battle. When the ice-armored scorpion finds that it cannot attack the ball, what will it do?
Of course, it was to attack the beast master who was still directing the battle on the snow.
Lin Shuo himself only has the martial arts of the body refining realm, which is comparable to that of infant-level alien beasts, and he will definitely not be the opponent of the ice-armored scorpion.
So he couldn't even show up for this battle and had to rely on Qiuqiu to solve it himself.
Stepping on the solid soil again and looking at the lush forest not far away, Lin Shuo fell into silence.
On the way out of the snow-capped mountains, Lin Shuo had already told Qiuqiu about the problems he would encounter in this battle. It already knew that Lin Shuo would not be able to fight side by side with it this time.
Even so, Qiuqiu still wanted to give it a try, after all, getting that supernatural resource would give him more control over its evolution.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Shuo took out a bottle of energy liquid from the space ring and carefully tied it around its waist with a rope, followed by the second bottle, and the third bottle...
Finally, five bottles of energy liquid were hung on Qiuqiu's waist.
"These are perfect-grade energy liquids. One bottle can replenish your physical strength more than five times." Lin Shuo said softly, "It can replenish your energy more than twenty times here. It should be enough in terms of energy..."
There was a little more worry in his eyes, and he gently stroked Qiuqiu's body.
"Pay attention to safety, use Frost Boy to lock on the opponent, and use Frost Storm to attack continuously. If the opponent has the power to threaten you, it doesn't matter if you don't want to fight and just run away. When you master the III-level snow traces, there is basically no speed comparison below the Commander level.
You are faster."
"Mi!" (Understood!)
Lin Shuo opened his mouth. He had clearly explained all the key things, but he still felt that there was still something missing.
Finally, he chuckled and touched Qiuqiu's head, "Come on! I believe you can do it!"
"Mi!" (I will try my best!)
Watching the ball flying through the air with energy liquid, quickly heading towards the direction of the ice-armored scorpion, Lin Shuo stood quietly on the spot with a complicated expression.
This was the first time that he became a drag on Qiuqiu during the battle.
After entering the Beast Tamer University, you must master the coordinated combat of beasts as soon as possible.
Only by mastering the beast control and cooperative combat, can he truly fight with Qiuqiu instead of just standing aside and commanding.
…
Sitting on the frosty sky, Qiuqiu's eyes were filled with rich frost and burning fighting spirit, and he looked quietly at the ice cave below.
The ice-armored scorpion at the entrance of the ice cave has disappeared. He probably saw Lin Shuo and Qiuqiu leaving and returned to the ice cave.
Qiuqiu's eyes flashed, and a frost storm gathered to the extreme, bombarding the entrance of the ice cave like a heavy cannon.
The wind and snow all over the sky seemed to be triggered by the frost storm at this moment, being wrapped up in the raging storm and becoming part of the frost storm. Ice blue and white intertwined rapidly, becoming more and more intense.
This is the advantage of playing at home. With the environmental bonus, the power of the frost storm is at least 10% higher than before.
The frost storm bombarded the snow, and the energy storm swept across the surrounding area instantly. Even the entrance of the ice cave was crumbling under the surging energy, almost collapsing.
With such a blow, a deep pit was instantly blasted out of the open space at the entrance of the ice cave. The snow was compacted and solidified before it could be dispersed under the heavy storm, turning the snow into ice, and outlined the interior of the pit.
Out of the storm's path.
Such a loud movement instantly angered the Ice-Armored Scorpion, which had returned to the ice cave. Soon there was a sound on the snow. The Ice-Armored Scorpion, covered in ice crystal armor and with a body as huge as a millstone, appeared, looking up to the sky.
The ball roared.
And what responded to it was the frost storm spitting out from the ball again.
The Ice-Armored Scorpion is not an agile beast to begin with. Under Shuang Boy's lock, it cannot dodge this attack at all.
And it didn't bother to avoid it.
A mere juvenile stage.
A trace of disdain flashed in the ice-armored scorpion's blue eyes. The ice crystals on the surface of its body grew rapidly and spread, forming a thick layer of ice armor again outside the original hard ice crystal exoskeleton. It stood motionless, planning to forcefully
Fight this frost storm.
Frost flashed in Qiuqiu's eyes, staring closely at the Ice Armor Scorpion below who was exerting its Ice Armor skill with all its strength. It also needed to judge the proficiency of the opponent's Ice Armor skill through the effect of this blow.
The frost storm, which was just as powerful as before, hit hard on the ice-armored scorpion's stomach.
In just an instant, the body of the ice-armored scorpion began to sink uncontrollably. It was hit hard by the raging storm in the snow. The frost flowers turned into extremely sharp blades under the influence of the storm, scraping them piece by piece.
Wearing ice armor, it makes a heart-wrenching sound.
The Ice Armored Scorpion's childish expression was full of astonishment and disbelief. As a releaser of the Ice Armor skill, it could clearly feel that the ice armor on its body was rapidly wearing away under the frost storm. Finally, it was overwhelmed and completely collapsed.
Make countless crushed ice crystals.
The ice armor...is broken?
Shattered by a frost storm with light traces of snow on the juvenile stage...?
Even if the opponent's frost storm completely dissipated at this moment, even if it was not actually harmed except for the energy consumption, the ice-armored scorpion was still in disbelief, followed by a strong sense of anger and shame.
It emerged from the deep pit and roared angrily at the ball in the sky.
Qiuqiu, on the other hand, completely ignored the angry roar of the ice-armored scorpion below.
After confirming that although the opponent's ice armor was also level II, its proficiency was much lower than his own frost storm, Qiuqiu immediately felt relieved.
It used its small claws to find a bottle of energy liquid on its waist, skillfully opened the cork and poured it into its mouth. Then, with a flash of light in its eyes, it once again blasted a frost storm towards the ice-armored scorpion below.
Regarding how to consume the energy liquid in advance before it completely restores the physical strength so that the physical strength never overflows, Qiuqiu, who drinks the energy liquid as water, has a lot to say.
…
At the junction of the forest environment and the snowfield environment, Lin Shuo paced back and forth nervously.
Qiuqiu and Ice Armor Scorpion have been fighting for a while.
He could only feel that Qiuqiu was in good condition at the moment through the beast control contract, but he couldn't feel anything else at all.
This made Lin Shuo very worried.
Until a certain moment, Lin Shuo felt something through telepathy and quickly looked towards the sky.
Qiuqiu's figure came towards him quickly, and finally threw himself into Lin Shuo's arms.
Seeing that Qiuqiu was unscathed, Lin Shuo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay, it doesn't matter if you lose."
“Mi?(??ω??)” (You didn’t lose?)
Qiuqiu gently probed his head and placed a slender ice crystal hidden in his mouth that was only about the size of a knuckle but glowed with ice-blue light in the palm of Lin Shuo's hand. There seemed to be a jade-colored liquid sealed in the ice crystal.
The shiny luster swayed with the shaking.
Level five ice supernatural resource, Cold Heart Chalcedony.
