Chapter 301 Combined effort
The monster that was even taller than a normal house ran toward Gu Qianxue after she suddenly attacked it. Although the Frozen Yeti's movement speed was slower than even players without boots or shoes, its size and its hairy body covered with muscles as well as the fangs protruding from its mouth along with the large horn on its forehead created a terrifying image capable of scaring most women.
However, Gu Qianxue, who was always protected like a porcelain doll had no sign of apprehension as she looked with calm eyes at the level 27 beast that was getting closer and closer with the intention of crushing her. On the contrary, she had a small smile on her lips which was proof that she was really having fun and enjoying the moment; for Gu Qianxue, who had only seen darkness all her life and had only learned the true knowledge of light a month ago, the grotesque and terrifying appearance of the Frozen Yeti that could scare anyone had become more beautiful to her.
The Frozen Yeti roared again when its massive body finally reached the necessary attack range. Without stopping its run and still propelling itself forward, the yeti raised one of its fists and punched forward sending up a flurry of snow due to the heavy pressure of the blow.
Without any fear in her expression, Gu Qianxue's seductive red lips moved slowly as she watched the beast's fist rapidly approaching, "Stop."
Only one word came out of the beauty's mouth, but as if that single word weighed tons of kilograms, the Frozen Yeti's movements immediately stalled as if by magic and its eyes that were previously charged with irreconcilable anger towards the human in front of it became lazy and dazed, staring at no specific point.
Of course, the reason why the Frozen Yeti's movements stopped was because Gu Qianxue used her skill Seductive Eyes to control the beast's movements. Actually, she could do it without speaking since unlike Kali's Absolute Word skill, Gu Qianxue's skill depended on her eyes; however, she preferred to give orders out loud because it was more fun from her point of view.
"Go!" With an amused smile, she pointed her index finger towards another yeti. Gu Qianxue's expression was like that of a person who wouldn't care about anything even if the ground beneath her feet suddenly collapsed.
The yeti that was being controlled by Gu Qianxue turned on its feet and ran towards another battlefield quickly.
-380
The Magic Bullet cast by Xie Yao hit another yeti. Actually, Xie Yao's magic damage was not inferior to Gu Qianxue's; unfortunately, she could only use the basic attack skill that the system gave by default to all mages and priests at the beginning of the game. Unlike the 200% magic damage inflicted by Gu Qianxue's Dark Arrow skill, Magic Bullet only inflicted 80% damage based on Xie Yao's magic attack, so the damage difference was too high.
The yeti that was attacked by Xie Yao wanted to turn around to chase after her, unfortunately for the beast, its plans were unsuccessful.
"You stay here!" Hu Chen shouted loudly while activating the warrior skill Double Slash.
-430
-856! (Critical Hit!)
Double Slash was a unique warrior skill that allowed the player to perform two attacks where the second attack had a 50% chance of being a critical hit.
The yeti that was hit roared furiously and being a beast without any intelligence, it began to make indiscriminate attacks towards the enemy in front of it.
-460
Hu Chen was hit by one of the yeti's fists which forced him to retreat. He hurriedly took out a medium-sized health recovery potion and put it in his mouth. Unfortunately, although his movements were swift, he had left a small opening for the yeti to retreat.
The beast roared like a lion that had finally broken free from its cage and ran towards Xie Yao, who had been constantly attacking it from the distance.
Surprisingly, Xie Yao did not panic and attacked the monster again, draining another 385 health points from the beast. Immediately afterwards, the Frozen Yeti raised its fist to attack Xie Yao, but its movements were paralyzed.
Kkk!
The beast let out a strange sound from its maw as its eyes stared in surprise at his hand that had stopped in midair. There, right around the yeti's right wrist, was a thick chain of ice that shackled it and froze its movements.
"Good job, Little White! Dark Arrow!" Gu Qianxue praised the controlled monster while attacking the yeti that had been restrained by its companion.
-1640! (Critical Hit!)
A yellow four-digit number slowly rose above the head of the immobilized yeti as proof of the terrifying critical hit caused by the Dark Arrow launched by the butterfly-masked beauty.
Hu Chen quickly rushed back and began to attack the immobilized yeti while thanking Gu Qianxue for the timely save.
"Qianxue... Isn't that the same name you had given to that wolf earlier?" Xie Yao asked in a strange voice. Still, she continued to attack.
"Now that you mention it..." Gu Qianxue whispered as she cast another Dark Arrow again after the two second cooldown of the skill passed.
Apparently, Gu Qianxue wasn't very good with pet names....
Soon five seconds passed and Gu Qianxue's control over the Frozen Yeti that had attacked her at the beginning finally ended. However, none of the three felt it was a pity since during that time they were able to end the life of the other yeti.
With the union of the three, the second Frozen Yeti also fell not long after and a large orb of experience split into six equal parts, entering the bodies of the six members of the group. This happened every time a monster was killed in the vicinity, no matter who killed the monster, everyone received an equal portion.
After ending the life of the second Frozen Yeti, Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Hu Chen, looked towards the third battlefield and did not know what to say about it in the face of what they saw.
"Hey! Hurry up!" Yue Kai shouted loudly as he ran in circles, constantly shooting arrows behind him. His target? Of course, it was the three-meter yeti that was furiously chasing him.
Since the beginning of the battle, Yue Kai had been fighting alone against this level 27 monster since Xiao Luo had disappeared in Stealth and had not shown himself so far. Fortunately, Yue Kai was really good at archery so he always avoided the Frozen Yeti and attacked it from afar; as a result of his efforts, the monster's health bar had dropped and now there were only 1600 health points remaining.
Swoosh!
As the yeti roared and chased after the annoying archer that attacked it and fled like a coward, a shadow suddenly appeared in the air just above its head.
This person was Xiao Luo, who had not shown himself until now.
Bang!
With a sharp blow with the pommel of his dagger on the neck of the beast, the yeti rushing forward suddenly fell to the ground and rolled one or two meters before coming to a stop. However, the yeti did not stand up.
If you looked carefully, you could see several stars spinning above the Frozen Yeti's head. Stunned effect!
Reverse Stab, the only assassin skill with the ability to turn the enemy into a fish ready to be cut into a chopping board. Reverse Stab could stun the enemy for 3-5 seconds, but the problem was that for this to happen the assassin had to deliver a powerful blow to the neck of the opponent; that was precisely what Xiao Luo had been looking for.
Immediately after the Frozen Yeti fell helplessly, Xiao Luo and Yue Kai began to attack it while chatting casually with each other.
"It took you too long!"
"Hey, don't complain.... Look, aren't you attacking it wildly now as revenge thanks to me?"
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have to be running around like a circus monkey in the first place!"
Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue looked at each other and saw the corner of the other's mouth contract several times as they glared at the two people having fun fighting a monster that exceeded them by more than ten levels.
"Looks like somehow it all turned out well."
Xie Feng, who had ended the lives of the six yetis he faced, walked up to Hu Chen and tapped his shoulder.
"Huff..." Hu Chen let out the air contained within him and nodded. "After fighting together for so many hours, of course our coordination is much better than the first time we faced these monsters."
Xie Feng nodded with a smile to express his agreement.
In fact, after fighting together shoulder to shoulder and protecting each other's back, the tactical understanding between each other as well as the confidence grew naturally without either of them noticing it.
Previously, the first time the group of six faced the Frozen Yetis they barely managed to overcome the challenge with all of them surviving; even though there were only five yetis. But now, they faced ten Frozen Yetis at the same time and although there were some problems in the middle, everything went much better than Xie Feng initially estimated.
"Alright, let's continue!" Xie Feng put the blood-red spear over his shoulder and smiled at the group.
Earlier, while Xie Feng was killing his targets, he had accidentally noticed that a gust of wind a little warmer than usual caressed his face. Probably a change would happen soon!
