38: Intense battle!
A rock not far away was suddenly pushed aside, revealing the dark-skinned face of a middle-aged woman.
Sangi's previously dead and dull eyes instantly lit up.
The middle-aged woman was none other than his mother!
His parents had hidden in a hole in the ground, then concealed the entrance with stones, trees, and the ruins of houses.
Sangi hurriedly ran over.
It was good that his parents were okay.
Next, as long as they hid in this hole and waited for the Lion King to kill these extraordinary ice rhinos, they would truly be safe!
"Run!"
However, before he could reach the hole, his mother suddenly shouted "Run" at him.
Sangi: ?
He looked at the giant lion behind him and finally realized.
His mother must have mistaken the Frost Lion for a bloodthirsty Vicious Beast and told him to run.
"Mom, don't be afraid! He is the Frost Lion General, he won't hurt us."
Sangi had just started to explain when he heard a rumbling roar from not far away. The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, as if some terrifying giant beast was charging this way.
Sangi turned his head and saw a huge rhino over 3 meters tall charging towards him from a hundred meters away.
To be precise—it was charging towards Frost Lion Xiong Ba.
This was a Low-Level Transcendent Ice Armor Black Rhino.
Sangi quickly hid inside the hole and observed the situation outside through a crack.
Seeing the Ice Armor Black Rhino charging towards him,
Xiong Ba was not alarmed but delighted. He had been worried about having no chance to fight while protecting and monitoring this human kid, but now an enemy had delivered itself right to his doorstep!
One by one, ice pillars rose out of thin air beneath the Ice Armor Black Rhino, directly piercing its skin and stabbing into its body.
The Ice Armor Black Rhino cried out in pain and fell heavily to the ground.
After advancing to Middle-tier Transcendent, Xiong Ba had awakened his second extraordinary ability, [Ice Spike].
It condensed Ice-Type Spiritual Energy into sharp spikes to pierce through enemies.
His first extraordinary ability was [Ice Condensation Technique], which could quickly condense Ice-Type Spiritual Energy into physical objects. These two abilities combined possessed great power!
Before the Ice Armor Black Rhino could stand up, Xiong Ba pounced on it. His sharp claws swung repeatedly, easily tearing through the ice armor on the rhino's exterior.
Although he could have killed this Ice Armor Black Rhino with [Ice Spike] alone, Xiong Ba preferred the sensation of claws striking flesh.
After tearing open the rhino's ice armor, the lion's claws swung again, and bright red blood gushed out.
After killing this Low-Level Transcendent Ice Armor Black Rhino, Xiong Ba's ice-blue eyes immediately looked towards another, even larger Ice Armor Black Rhino in the distance.
He craved battle, craved becoming stronger through combat!
But after thinking about it, Xiong Ba still didn't go over. He knew that his most important task right now was to guard and protect that human.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
At the same time, one lion roar after another echoed from not far away.
The entire Frost Lion Pride had joined the battle!
One after another, Extraordinary Ice Lions braved the blizzard, fearlessly charging towards the extraordinary ice rhinos.
Their eyes were fanatical, their roars deafening, and they joined the fight with immense excitement!
The originally sleeping Ice Armor White Rhino suddenly heard the loud noise. It slowly opened its eerie green pupils and woke from its dream.
It then discovered that many giant lions had suddenly appeared in this small town and were slaughtering its kin and subordinates!
Other Extraordinary Creatures were invading its territory!
Suddenly, its pupils constricted as it looked toward the far west.
It was a pure white Lion Cub. Although it looked like a cub, its size was quite staggering, reaching over 7 meters in length.
At the same time the Ice Armor White Rhino saw Chen Mo, Chen Mo was also gazing at the rhino.
Amidst the vast blizzard, the ice-blue eyes and the Ice Armor White Rhino's gaze collided!
The powerful auras of top predators erupted from both sides!
The great battle was on the verge of breaking out!
"Very strong!"
The Ice Armor White Rhino could roughly sense the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the Lion King. This was an Extraordinary Creature even more powerful than itself.
However, it did not intend to retreat because of this.
Besides its confidence in its own defense,
it was also because this town was now its territory!
The reason it chose to invade and occupy this town,
aside from obtaining sufficient food, was more importantly—
its hatred for humans.
When it was young, it had seen its father shot and killed by humans.
Since then, whenever it saw humans, it would run away desperately.
Until more than two months ago, when the Spiritual Qi Revival began.
After eating an exotic grass on the plains, it successfully underwent Awakening and gained intelligence.
After its Awakening, it became arrogant.
First, it conquered its own tribe with absolute strength and defense, then it began to frantically expand its territory and hunt other Extraordinary Creatures.
Until the day before yesterday, it discovered another divine medicine. After consuming it, its strength achieved a Breakthrough to High-Level Transcendent!
Feeling that its strength had significantly improved, the Ice Armor White Rhino led the rhino herd and other beasts it had subjugated to attack this small town.
This time, human bullets could no longer pierce its skin; they could only let out wails beneath its iron hooves.
It liked and enjoyed this feeling very much.
—————————
In the vast blizzard.
Some humans hidden in ruins or various concealed places were secretly observing the situation outside.
They naturally saw the Lion Pride and the Frost Lion that was a full 7 meters long.
This left them disheartened and in complete despair.
The giant white rhino alone had driven the entire town to a dead end, and now an even more powerful-looking Ice Lion had arrived. It simply gave them no way to survive!
What on earth had happened to this world? Why did so many giant beasts suddenly appear? Was the apocalypse really coming?
But soon, the humans in the ruins discovered—
that giant beast in the shape of an Ice Lion was actually charging straight toward the giant white rhino in the center of the square!
The two giant beasts seemed to be about to fight!?
Chen Mo released an Ice Storm when the distance between them was still 70 meters.
The maximum range for releasing an Ice Storm is about 50 meters, but the killing radius of the Ice Storm is another 20 meters.
In the next instant, fierce winds howled around the Ice Armor White Rhino, and sharp ice blades strangled the rhino in the center of the storm like a downpour.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Seeing this, the Ice Armor White Rhino didn't even dodge. The ice blades struck the ice armor, making crisp sounds, but this only caused cracks to appear on the surface of the armor without shattering it completely!
At the same time, the Ice Armor White Rhino's jade-like ice armor glowed with a faint blue light, and then a blast of frost energy surged toward Chen Mo.
Frost Breath.
Chen Mo's speed and reaction were incredibly fast, and he dodged it with ease.
His agility attribute was now as high as 80 points, exceeding half the speed of sound!
Seeing that his Ice Storm had barely broken the armor, and that a new layer of ice armor was quickly condensing on the Ice Armor White Rhino's body, Chen Mo was somewhat surprised.
The defense of this Ice Armor White Rhino was truly astonishing.
But it wasn't a big problem.
While dodging the Frost Breath, he had already reached the front of the Ice Armor White Rhino!
Then, the Ice Lion leaped high. The 7-meter-long beast erupted with an extremely unscientific jumping ability (Jumping Lion), leaping a full dozen meters!
The distance of over 50 meters was covered in an instant!
With just one big leap, the Ice Lion pounced directly onto the Ice Armor White Rhino!
The Ice Armor White Rhino instinctively tried to dodge, but the Ice Lion's speed was too fast for it to react in time!
After jumping onto the Ice Armor White Rhino, Chen Mo aimed directly at its ear and unleashed an Ice Wind Roar.
In the next second, the roar exploded in the Ice Armor White Rhino's ear like a clap of thunder!
