77: The only chance to make a call

Gu Qinghan glanced at him, but did not speak.

Innocent?

From the moment they all considered themselves cannon fodder, these people had nothing to do with innocence.

He once again conjured a Bone Spear in front of him and muttered to himself:

"Don't worry, you'll see them very soon."

The Mutated Bear King pulled the Bone Spear out of its chrysanthemum, broke free from another chain, and faced Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan's second attack was not as effective as the first.

The Bone Spear stuck in the Bear King's arm, but only penetrated less than a tenth of the way.

The Bear King casually waved its paw, pulled out the Bone Spear, threw it on the ground, and it dissipated into a white energy in the air.

Gu Qinghan frowned slightly; this Bear King truly lived up to its reputation as a Level 15 elite Mutated Creature, its defense was terrifyingly high.

The first strike was effective because the Bear King was unprepared, coupled with incredible luck.

But once the Bear King started defending, Gu Qinghan's attacks could no longer cause effective damage.

Just like that, Gu Qinghan and the Bear King began another round of stalemate, neither able to do anything to the other.

No, there was also a Level 13 Mutated Black Bear constantly trying to break free from the Ice Shackles, solely to kill all these invaders.

Gu Qinghan did not continue to waste his mana; he was well aware of the gap between himself and the Bear King.

When Bone Spike Technique upgraded to Bone Spear Technique, Gu Qinghan's overall combat power had already risen to 660 points.

However, this was far from enough for the current situation.

He needed stronger power; at Level 12, he was not enough to contend with this Mutated Black Bear.

Compared to this Mutated Bear King, he was so weak at this moment.

But at this very moment, there was not a trace of fear or retreat in his eyes.

An emotion called stubbornness emerged from the depths of his eyes.

Gu Qinghan suddenly glanced at the Bear King's eyes; the brutal killing intent flickering in those crimson beast pupils seemed to want to tear him apart.

He smiled, then suddenly transformed all his skeletons into Extreme Ice Wizard Skeletons.

The moment these skeletons transformed, the battle axes in their hands fell to the ground, but a chilling aura seemed to gather.

Exploding Ice Crystals appeared one by one around them, condensing an extremely cold aura.

The Bear King watched the activity on Gu Qinghan's side, and a hint of human-like disdain emanated from its beast pupils.

This thing couldn't harm it at all, and the freezing effect had no impact on it.

This ant was merely wasting its energy by doing this.

It broke free from another chain on its leg, only to be trapped by yet another chain.

However, the Bear King wasn't worried in the slightest.

It only needed to protect its eyes; those ice crystals filling the sky couldn't harm it in the slightest.

Finally, when the ice crystals formed a certain scale, they suddenly shot towards him.

The Bear King slightly lowered its head, protecting its face with its bear claws, while preparing to endure this seemingly terrifying blow.

Just a few seconds passed, but it didn't feel any attack land on him.

It put down its claws in confusion, only to see a grotesque Bone Spear forming in front of Gu Qinghan.

This foolish ant, still trying to use this move?

But it quickly noticed that the grotesque Bone Spear's target was not it at all.

A dangerous glint flickered at the tip of the spear, pointing directly behind him... Its target was another big fellow.

The Bear King roared fiercely, even causing Gu Qinghan to instinctively cover his ears.

However, Gu Qinghan's smile slowly emerged.

"Are you scared?"

The Bone Spear flew directly past him, like a white lightning bolt, shooting towards its target.

And its target was that Level 13 Mutated Black Bear.

This Mutated Black Bear was already completely encased in a thick layer of ice crystals, like a specimen sealed within.

And the Bone Spear's attack effortlessly pierced through the ice layer, directly striking the chest of this Mutated Black Bear.

"Was that... the Bear King changing the Bone Spear's trajectory?"

Gu Qinghan frowned slightly, because he had aimed this attack at the opponent's eyes.

But just as the Bone Spear passed near the Bear King, a golden light seemed to erupt from its body, slightly altering the Bone Spear's direction.

But even so, the Level 13 Mutated Black Bear was instantly severely wounded, falling directly to the ground without making a sound.

The thick layer of ice on its body now resembled countless sharp blades embedded in its wounds.

And despite receiving such an exaggerated attack, this Mutated Black Bear was still not dead, though its aura instantly weakened considerably.

Gu Qinghan did not stop, waiting for the skill's cooldown to end for the next attack.

The Bear King had stopped roaring; it looked at the dying Black Bear and let out a mournful wail.

But very quickly, it turned its gaze to Gu Qinghan, the killing intent in its beast pupils having solidified.

The Bear King's whole body glowed with bursts of golden light, and its fur turned golden at a visible speed.

At this moment, it didn't even have the intention of defending against Gu Qinghan's attacks.

And Gu Qinghan's Bone Spear still had a few seconds left on its cooldown, and all of the skeletons' Ice Cones were pushed away by that golden light.

It seemed that Gu Qinghan had no way to deal with this Bear King.

In this situation, every second felt like a year, and a slight sweat seeped from Gu Qinghan's forehead.

The Bone Spear's cooldown still had three seconds, Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment.

Should he try attacking the Bear King's eyes? If successful, he might be able to severely wound it instantly.

However, that golden light could clearly affect surrounding objects and even skills, so Gu Qinghan quickly dismissed this idea.

With two seconds left on the cooldown, Gu Qinghan looked again at the dying Mutated Black Bear.

The opponent was now lying on the ground, with only half its face facing him.

If he landed a direct hit, he should be able to kill it.

But would the Bear King allow his skill to fly past it?

Gu Qinghan found that no matter what he did, the success rate seemed pitifully low.

With only one second left on the cooldown, Gu Qinghan took a sharp breath.

He felt the whole world slow down incredibly, even hearing his own heartbeat and breathing.

In an instant, many other plans flashed through his mind, but he dismissed them one by one.

He only had one chance to strike; if he missed, the Bear King might complete its transformation by the next Bone Spear.

At that time, his small body would surely have no burial ground.

When the cooldown ended, Gu Qinghan did not directly release Bone Spear Technique, but suddenly touched his chest.

There, there was a medal carved like wood, like something one could buy for fifty cents at a street stall in peacetime.

However, this thing could give him one gamble.

[Wooden Man Talisman (Black Iron): Level 10, Effect: Blocks one fatal damage, equipment disappears after activation]

"This time, this equipment won't be saved..."

He gave a bitter smile, then suddenly bolted towards Ma Guangqing.

To be precise, he wanted to bypass the Bear King and then release his Bone Spear Technique!

To get past the Bear King, he would definitely be attacked by it; Gu Qinghan understood this point.

As long as he wasn't caught by the opponent and only hit once, the Wooden Man Talisman could save his life.

"I'll risk it!"
