The poisonous gas in the forest might have weakened Lin Qiao’s sense of smell . But thankfully, she could still roughly sense the surrounding scents .
“Roar!” The black wolf, who was suffering the torment given by Lin Qiao’s black fire, suddenly uttered a fierce roar and released a strong stream of ice power from its head, covering its entire body with ice . Soon, its soft and smooth hair stood up and froze like ice thorns .
It had managed to freeze Lin Qiao’s fire! Before long, the ice on the wolf’s body cracked and fell . With that, the wolf king who had long and black hair became a fur-less wolf .
The wolf swiftly turned around and pounced on the bear who was flipping its limbs . It widely opened its mouth and sent a cloud of icy mist to the bear .
The ice mist spread from before the wolf’s mouth and covered a hundred meters within a blink, with the bear within that area . The surrounding trees were all turned into ice statues as well; even the treetops, which were over a hundred meters away from the ground, had turned white and frozen .
The coldness spread, and countless animals and insects which managed to survive in the poisonous forest were frozen .
The enormous bear, which had been hopping around, was suddenly covered in ice . Then, it stopped moving and paused with a weird posture .
All that happened within a blink of an eye .
As the bear was frozen, the wolf immediately pounced on it, wielding its claws to attack it . Meanwhile, it sent a huge wave of sharp ice thorns toward the other .
If the bear didn’t show up and repeatedly hinder it from hunting its prey, it might have brought down the nearly disabled level-nine man long ago instead of wasting the time until a stronger enemy showed up .
As Lan Lu and Lin Qiao, who were both at level-eight, showed up to protect the level-nine man, the wolf instantly realized that its hunt had been ruined . It could charge again, but there would never be another chance to get the level-nine man . On the contrary, it might be suppressed by the two weird level-eight people and end up as a prey itself .
Therefore, the wolf gave up on the level-nine man . In the meantime, he grew rage toward the bear who had caused it quite some trouble . It didn’t intend to risk its own life fighting the bear though .
The bear was frozen for only a few seconds . After that, it instinctively released its power to free itself from the wolf’s ice .
Boom!
Fire power erupted from its body and blasted the ice off the surface of its body . The scorching fire energy exploded like a bomb and created a tens of meters wide pit on the ground, blowing away all the trees and rocks nearby along with the wolf’s ice thorns . Waves of hot air spread out and soon covered up the coldness, melting the ice-age-like scene that the wolf had created just now .
Lin Qiao moved out of the blast range when the bear’s fire power erupted and then watched the ground being burnt black with a huge pit on it .
“Eh?” She turned with her expression changed . She felt that the wolf’s vibe had moved quite away from the battlefield . She didn’t even notice when it ran away . It had probably taken advantage of the blast and fled when the bear’s power erupted .
The wolf was careful and cautious . As the situation was turning bad for itself, it instantly found a way out . Before leaving, he even used the bear, its old opponent, to draw away the enemy’s attention .
One had gotten away, but the other one was still there . Lin Qiao decided to finish off the bear first . It was an enormous bear after all, pretty fat . Aside from its nucleus, she also planned to slice the bear and soak it in the lake water, store it as food for her zombie soldiers .
Lan Lu reacted not as fast as Lin Qiao did, and he was carrying an unconscious, tall and strong man . But still, he managed to dodge the fire and blast, draw back to the side .
He saw Lin Qiao charge at the gigantic bear once he landed on the ground .
The bear had just released all its power and was feeling very comfortable at the moment . As it prepared to shake its fur, an instinctive sense of danger occurred to it . It immediately turned around and stared at Lin Qiao with its pair of beady eyes .
Lin Qiao rushed up to the bear, then leaped high and swung her claws down at the bear a few times in a row before throwing a huge, black fireball at the bear .
“Roar…” Seeing Lin Qiao swing her claws at it, the bear was a little confused at first . In the next second, it heard a shrill sound and sensed a sharp vibe coming at it . The bear trusted its strong skin, so it raised both paws to shield its head .
Puff! Puff! Puff! But soon, it sensed a pain from its paws as if something had cut into its skin .
“Roar!” The bear’s face was twisted . It howled in pain, then flinched and bent over, standing on all fours . At that very moment, a black fireball which was as huge as its own body descended toward it .
Level-eight mutated beasts weren’t much harder to kill than the level-seven ones . The claw move that Lin Qiao made just now could cut a building into pieces . However, the bear only suffered a few shallow wounds on its skin .
Thankfully, her black fire soon landed on the bear’s body . After launching the attack, Lin Qiao landed on the clearing nearby, then raised her hands to control her fire . The fireball suddenly expanded and wrap the bear up once it touched the bear .
“Roar…” Being wrapped in Lin Qiao’s dark fire, the bear raised a great crisis awareness . It struggled and started running while releasing a red energy from its skin as it attempted to push away her dark fire like it pushed away the wolf’s ice power just now .
But, the result wasn’t the same as expected . The dark fire on its skin expanded a little when the bear’s energy suddenly gushed out of its body and made it look like a giant black ball . However, the dark fire didn’t leave its body . On the contrary, it absorbed the bear’s energy and turned that into a part of itself .
So, in the end, the bear was running about aimlessly while the dark fire on its body grew stronger and stronger .
“Roar!” Bang! The bear couldn’t see . Soon, it rushed out of the area which was swept across by its energy just now and bumped into a tree . The giant tree was easily pressed down to the ground while the bear bounced back and made a few rolls on the ground before struggling . With both angry and anxiety, it uttered a series of raging roars .
“Roar!”
