26: Chapter 26 Joint Battle Against the Black Giant Bear

This High-level Trader was different from the others; he wore a white robe and emitted a distinct aura.

"Alright, let's go straight in!" Chu Yaoyao didn't waste any more words and directly touched the Trader's head to enter the Trader Space.

"Let's go in too!" Mu Cheng also touched the head and entered the Trader Space.

Gu Na, Tao Mumu, Lu Yuxuan, and Tao Shuishui... all followed closely behind and entered the Trader Space.

"I'm about to start."

Chu Yaoyao was just about to operate the interface to begin... when Mu Cheng suddenly spoke up.

"Wait, let me give them some grey crystals first."

He roughly guessed that this High-level Trader was different from the others, with only one challenge page to open.

It was quite obvious... the challenge had to be successful before the trading page would appear.

"Fine! Hurry up, just use the high-tech bracelet to trade." Chu Yaoyao was clearly anxious.

But for now... she could only endure it in silence.

After completing the trade, Mu Cheng said unhurriedly, "We can start now!"

"Okay, I'll start now."

Chu Yaoyao was just about to open the challenge when Tao Mumu suddenly shouted.

"Wait..."

"What now?" Chu Yaoyao suppressed her short temper and asked quite patiently.

Tao Mumu said quite embarrassedly, "I... I'm just too nervous. Let's start!"

My god!!! You can act like that? If you're nervous, you're nervous... why do you have to scream?

It made it seem like... something big was about to happen.

"You're really dawdling. I'll open it!" Mu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore either.

He walked over and directly clicked to start the challenge.

Suddenly, the entire digital space underwent a world-shaking change, turning into a forest.

"It's coming, everyone be careful!" Gu Na sensed a powerful aura slowly approaching and hurriedly shouted.

Right at that moment... a huge figure suddenly jumped in front of everyone and let out a heart-wrenching roar at them.

"It's a Rank 5 Black Giant Bear. This is going to be trouble." Chu Yaoyao recognized it at a glance.

The Rank 5 Black Giant Bear was massive and standing upright.

It was at least ten meters tall, with black fur all over its body and a very ferocious-looking head.

Roaring... it charged straight at the group!

"Let me!"

Tao Mumu acted faster than she spoke... countless grey wood vines rose from the ground, instantly wrapping the Black Giant Bear into a ball.

Unfortunately... it was of no use against the Black Giant Bear, which broke through it by force!

"This guy is hard to deal with, scatter first!"

Mu Cheng remained very calm, using his Ice Attribute Ability to instantly form an ice wall.

Everyone knew this would be a hard fight; naturally, they understood they couldn't face it head-on, so they scattered around the perimeter.

"Damn, the ice wall can't hold for long." Mu Cheng watched the ice wall crack bit by bit.

He maintained his composure...

The moment the ice wall was broken, he released his Space Ability again, but unfortunately, it was completely useless against the Black Giant Bear.

Having no choice... he could only choose to retreat.

"It looks like we can only fight a war of attrition." Mu Cheng was now certain that ability attacks were simply ineffective.

He had no choice but to take out a spear... then used his Wind Attribute Ability to increase his speed, thrusting with all his might at the Black Giant Bear's head.

He hit it, but unfortunately, he couldn't break through the Black Giant Bear's defense. Instead, he was sent flying by a heavy slap from the bear, sliding back over ten meters.

"This guy is so tough, don't let it hit you." Mu Cheng coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He looked very weak now, clearly seriously injured.

"Let's attack together!" Gu Na didn't choose to retreat and directly released her Bloodline of the Goddess of Life.

Five black Wood Vine People emerged from the ground; although they were only about seven meters tall.

They looked... as if they were alive, controlled by Gu Na to stall the Black Giant Bear.

"As expected of the Bloodline of the Goddess of Life, controlling all things." Chu Yaoyao also took action.

Black Battle Qi suddenly erupted from her body, and she swung a very powerful black sword qi from the black gold sword in her hand.

Although it didn't cause damage to the Black Giant Bear... it forced it back!

"This woman's strength... is so high!" Mu Cheng was also shocked by the sight.

With no time to lose, he took out a black crystal and swallowed it directly...

Soon, his complexion gradually improved.

"I'll help too." Lu Yuxuan had experience from last time and naturally wouldn't do anything foolish.

Instead, a black gold spear appeared in her hand, and she threw it with all her strength from where she stood.

Sure enough, there was some effect; it could force the Black Giant Bear back.

"It seems Rank 4 abilities can't harm this Black Giant Bear at all, then we'll just wear it down until it dies."

Chu Yaoyao suddenly had an idea. She brought out a huge pile of black gold spears as if they cost nothing...

"Don't just stand there, let's kill it together!"

"Alright, alright, let's kill it." Gu Na was also getting serious.

Although black gold weapons weren't worth much, their price still reached over five hundred grey crystals.

That huge pile must have at least a thousand of them!

This was equivalent to throwing away five hundred thousand grey crystals... and she didn't even blink. It was clear she was definitely a rich woman!

Gu Na, Tao Mumu, and Tao Shuishui also came to help...

"I'll help too." Mu Cheng had already recovered from his injuries and joined in after seeing them.

A thousand black gold spears couldn't withstand such consumption; in less than five minutes, the pile was already empty.

"It doesn't seem like enough! By the way, can we get back the ones we threw?" Tao Mumu asked slowly.

"What else? Do you think this is the outside... where you can pick up things you've thrown?" Chu Yaoyao asked back.

Although it was a rhetorical question... the answer was very obvious: the thrown black gold spears were definitely gone.

"What's the point of saying all this? They're almost all used up... but now the Black Giant Bear only seems to be injured." Gu Na was clearly getting anxious.

"It's really strange. Why didn't the black gold weapons she took out disappear? Instead, only the ones we threw disappeared?"

Mu Cheng was very confused, but he already had an answer in his heart.

"I see you came prepared. Take out some more!"

"Aren't these also on the ground? Why... do they only disappear when we throw them?" Lu Yuxuan also finally noticed and spoke up.

Tao Shuishui was also stunned. "Oh right, what exactly is going on?"

"Does it matter? It doesn't seem to matter! Don't worry, there are plenty of black gold spears... but you'll have to work harder later."

Chu Yaoyao didn't even blink and threw out another huge pile of black gold spears.

In reality... her heart was bleeding, but she was just pretending to be very calm.

"It seems things might not be as simple as I thought." Mu Cheng also noticed...

Although the Black Giant Bear was injured... it was completely unkillable, like an unkillable cockroach.

"Good heavens, it's injured like this and still won't die?" Tao Mumu said, looking at the scene.

At this moment, the Black Giant Bear was covered in scars, and the black blood flowing out made its already black body even blacker.

"It should be soon! Everyone, stay sharp. Once the Black Giant Bear enters a berserk state, run immediately... run as far as possible."

Chu Yaoyao felt it was almost time... and said that the Black Giant Bear would enter a berserk state.

The berserk state didn't last very long, about five minutes, but once it entered...

Speed, strength, and stamina... would all increase by at least three times.

Its strength would directly reach the peak of Rank 5. Such an existence was very clear... the group currently couldn't win.

"Just be careful. Generally speaking, a berserk state shouldn't last very long, right?" Gu Na said, not daring to be careless.

Just as Chu Yaoyao said, the Black Giant Bear suddenly entered a berserk state.

Not only did its injuries disappear, but its size also grew significantly... its eyes were glowing red.

It was as if it couldn't control its own body.

"Run!" Mu Cheng already felt something was wrong and hurriedly shouted.

Chu Yaoyao shook her head in despair. "It's no use. I miscalculated. I didn't expect this guy's berserk state to be so terrifying."

"Fine! Then you guys hide behind me." Mu Cheng didn't have much confidence either...

But what other choice was there now? He had to face it head-on...

The Black Giant Bear moved... and dashed over at lightning speed.

"Don't just stand there, everyone give it your all to help Brother Cheng!" Lu Yuxuan also clearly felt the danger.

Despite this, she still released the Death Realm...

It was obvious that it did slow down the Black Giant Bear quite a bit, but its speed was still very fast.

Gu Na also took action, controlling the five black Wood Vine People to go up...

Tao Mumu also controlled wood vines to wrap around it, and Tao Shuishui also released her bloodline.

A huge wave about fifteen meters high was controlled by her to crash against the Black Giant Bear.

"Then today, I'll go crazy with you all."

Chu Yaoyao also used her Bloodline Power, and suddenly an ancient figure emerged from behind her.

Wearing white armor and with flowing white hair, he looked quite handsome...

If his height hadn't reached over three meters, he probably would have been mistaken for a living person.

"Li Xuanyuan, stall it." Following her command, a weathered heavy sword appeared in the white-armored man's hand.

In just an instant, a massive sword qi... was swung by him toward the Black Giant Bear.

The power of this strike once again forced the Black Giant Bear back by force...

"The rest is up to you." Chu Yaoyao's face was very pale, and the ancient person she had summoned...

Suddenly vanished into thin air...

"What a powerful strike. This is probably the strength of Rank 5!" Mu Cheng was shocked.

But he quickly became serious again and said, "Stall it one more time... I'll find a chance to release the Black Vine."

"Leave it to me!" Gu Na was the first to act, directly controlling the Wood Vine People.

Using human wave tactics... she temporarily pinned the Black Giant Bear down.

"Leave the rest to me!" Mu Cheng naturally seized the opportunity, releasing the Black Vine to instantly wrap tightly around the Black Giant Bear.

Fortunately, it worked... soon the Black Giant Bear stopped struggling and began to be devoured at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Wasn't this a challenge? It clearly wasn't... it was something that could cost one's life.

Lu Yuxuan was the one to see this and said, "Brother Cheng, is everything here just a challenge?"

"It doesn't seem like it now. We must have her explain it properly," Mu Cheng replied.

However, he couldn't be careless now and kept controlling the Black Vine...

"Don't make a fuss. Of course, the challenge is real, and you could die at any time," Chu Yaoyao replied.
