Chapter 513: The Ruthless Yet Adorable Snow Soul Beasts
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin and Liu Chuchu couldn’t help but stare at the snow soul beasts.
They were each about the size of a small watermelon with round bodies covered in white fur that looked extremely soft and warm. Their black eyes were large and round with light blue ripples running through them. They had cute, pink noses and pristine white teeth. Instead of feet, they had a pair of short and intricate wings…
Liu Chuchu was completely entranced by the snow soul beasts. Their cuteness exceeded even her lofty expectations, and she made a decision there and then… She had to capture one for herself!
An Lin also swallowed involuntarily as he looked at the snow soul beasts. He wanted an adorable beast pet like that as well!
No, he wanted two so that he could give one to Xiaolan!
No, no, no… He wanted to take all of them so that he could have a whole nest of snow soul beasts! There were twelve of them right before his very eyes!
“What are you guys looking at? Run!” Ling Ying had already begun to escape, and she yelled in a panicked voice upon seeing An Lin and Liu Chuchu rooted to the spot.
A cold sneer appeared on An Lin’s face. “Run?”
Liu Chuchu’s eyes were glowing with a scorching desire. “We aren’t running anywhere!”
Ling Ying: “…”
“Hahaha… That’s right, you aren’t running anywhere!” a crisp, tender voice said.
An Lin raised his head to discover that the largest of the snow soul beasts had just spoken.
“You can speak the Tai Chu Language?” Liu Chuchu stared at the snow soul beast in amazement.
The snow soul beast revealed a row of sharp, intricate teeth before replying with a smug smile, “Of course! I have slain countless powerful beings, and no one has ever escaped from me! I also used my harrowing soul-searching techniques to obtain all their knowledge!”
An Lin’s lips twitched. “Can’t you say something cuter so that it matches your image?”
“Hmph! Insolent sc.u.m! You have no right to judge what I, the great Xue Zhantian, choose to say!” The snow soul beast roared with rage.
An Lin: “…”
Xue Zhantian then flapped its wings at the snow soul beasts behind it. “Go, little ones! Let these stupid humans know what true fear is!”
The remaining snow soul beasts all let loose indistinguishable cries as brilliant blue light burst forth from their bodies, which instantly transformed into a fearsome power of extreme frost, engulfing an area of several hundred meters in diameter around them.
At that moment, An Lin felt that everything around him suddenly began to slow down.
He immediately unleashed his Divine Flames as a defense mechanism.
However, he didn’t get a chance to fully unleash his Divine Flames before a black shadow came hurtling at him.
The black shadow was Xue Zhantian, the largest of all the snow soul beasts. It was currently in the process of flying toward An Lin’s chest. A blue light enveloped around its body like a powerful meteorite.
An Lin wanted to defend himself, but his speed was greatly hampered by the power of extreme frost enveloping his body, thereby preventing him from being able to move how he wanted.
Boom!
An Lin’s chest was struck by an overwhelming force, and he flew back like a cannonball as blood gushed from his mouth.
“Giant An Lin!”
Tina’s expression s.h.i.+fted as she slashed out a brilliant white sword projection with her Heart Lotus Ice Sword toward Xue Zhantian!
Xue Zhantian harrumphed coldly as it flapped its small and nimble wings. Its round body demonstrated remarkable agility as it evaded the sword projection.
Right at this moment, a streak of golden light flashed through the air like a bolt of golden lightning, striking precisely at the spot where Xue Zhantian was going to appear after dodging Tina’s sword projection. It was an exemplary piece of marksmans.h.i.+p with perfect timing and precision.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Three snow soul beasts flew through the air before positioning themselves in front of Xue Zhantian.
All three of them spread their wings at once to release a blue defensive spell formation in the shape of ice crystals.
The golden arrow imbued with the fearsome power of sealing struck the blue spell formation and bright golden light exploded forth, momentarily sealing the power of extreme frost in the air.
However, it was also at this moment that five figures suddenly flew toward Liu Chuchu at an alarming speed.
“Be careful!” An Lin spread open his Wings of Wind as he charged toward Liu Chuchu and slashed out an inky black sword projection with his Evil-Slaying Sword.
The five snow soul beasts seemed to be quite proficient at using team spell formations, and they instantly adjusted their positions in the air to create a warped film of water, which diverted An Lin’s sword projection from its original path.
“Meteor Mace!”
The five snow soul beasts expanded their bodies before cras.h.i.+ng down upon An Lin like maces; all of them possessed fearsome speed and power.
An Lin positioned himself before Liu Chuchu and slashed out a series of defensive sword projections.
Boom boom boom…
The snow soul beasts broke through An Lin’s defense and knocked him flying again with their collective might as blood gushed forth from An Lin’s mouth.
Each of these snow soul beasts was comparable to a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, and their team spell formations allowed them to unleash power equivalent to the attacks of a cultivator at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage. Under the restrictions of the power of extreme frost, An Lin and the others were at a severe disadvantage, while the speed of the snow soul beasts seemed to have received a further boost under such an environment. As such, An Lin and the others were soon forced onto the back foot.
Liu Chuchu had only just retreated a few steps before four more snow soul beasts pounced upon her.
Tina was also caught in a battle with three snow soul beasts…
Liu Chuchu’s fragile body was rammed into the air by a snow soul beast. When she fell heavily to the ground, she felt as if her body were about to fall apart at the seams.
Xue Zhantian immediately expanded its body as a cold light flashed through its large, round eyes. “Die!”
Xue Zhantian’s body flew through the air like a cannonball, leaving a sonic boom in its wake. If Liu Chuchu were struck by this attack, she would be severely wounded, if not killed.
“Sealing Technique—Holy White Lightning Snakes!”
A voice suddenly came from behind Liu Chuchu.
Ling Ying had returned from her retreat and countless bolts of white lightning streaked from her tentacles like white snakes before binding onto the twelve snow soul beasts.
The bolts of white lightning were extremely fast, and all the snow soul beasts were struck before they had a chance to dodge.
Ling Ying’s attack wasn’t extremely powerful, but it did have the ability to momentarily paralyze its targets.
“Run! I can only unleash this spell technique once; you won’t have another chance to escape!” Ling Ying roared to Liu Chuchu, An Lin, and Tina.
“Run?”
“Why would we run? How could we leave behind such adorable beast pets?”
An Lin slowly stood up as the four Divine Flames settled over his body like a suit of armor. The scorching temperatures radiating from the flames caused the air to s.h.i.+mmer and warp as the entire ground below was colored crimson.
He swallowed a Scorching Sun Pill, and his aura instantly elevated to the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage. The flaming armor around his body became even more fearsome, which appeared as if they were threatening to engulf the entire cave!
A delicate yet determined voice chimed in agreement, “That’s right! How can I run now when there are so many cute snow soul beasts waiting for me to capture?!”
Liu Chuchu opened her mouth and also swallowed her Scorching Sun Pill.
Boom!
The effect of the Scorching Sun Pill instantly manifested itself within her body, causing her aura to become extremely vast and powerful. As a result, the four snow soul beasts before her began to falter in shock.
Liu Chuchu stared blankly at Liu Chuchu and An Lin as her mouth gaped open. “It’s over… Both of them have gone mad…”
Never would she have thought that An Lin and Liu Chuchu would be willing to use up their fifth-grade immortal Scorching Sun Pills in a situation like this. The pills would undoubtedly give them an extreme boost in power for a short time, perhaps even enough of a power boost for their strength to rival the snow soul beasts.
But those pills were valuable trump cards! Was it really worth it to use them up just for a chance at capturing a snow soul beast?
