Chapter 1039: Ice and Snow Blockade

“Release.”

Mingxi didn’t hesitate, instructing Bright Crystal to release the Rock Demon’s summon, sending the protective Rock Demon King back.

Since a sugar-coated bullet is a bullet, it’s bound to explode.

To preserve the Rock Demon King’s arm in this situation, it had to be sent back to its original place.

Although her eyes were as busy as a pervert who had accidentally stumbled into a brothel, Mingxi still noticed that before the Rock Demon King left, the uneven patterns on its body slowly but steadily changed color, as if being soaked in blood.

((()))??

What’s going on now?

I just feel... something very strange is happening.

However, Mingxi had no energy to think about these things in the current situation; Golden Yuanbao and the others were already enough to worry about.

At this moment, an unexpected drastic change occurred in the battle between Lan Yue and the Frost Giant Spirit.

Perhaps it was because they had both been using Ice-type skills, but the chaotic attribute rules were triggered.

The petals in the Peach Blossom Forest seemed to ignite, and with a whoosh, the ground rapidly collapsed, and a massive volcano formed before their eyes at an unimaginable speed.

It was a scene even more incomprehensible than something appearing out of nothing.

“...”

A biting cold wind, carrying mass-produced volcanic ash, formed an eerie ice-fire vortex above the fractured Peach Blossom Forest.

Emerald Green swiftly retreated, holding Mingxi’s waist.

This saved her from the possibility of having her face washed by lava spewing from the volcano’s crater.

“Oh my goodness! Elemental Rejection.”

Mingxi wiped her sweat while giving the command.

It scared this old baby to death.

Almost disfigured.

In fact, without Mingxi’s command, Lan Yue had already taken a few steps into the air and started running upwards when the volcano appeared and erupted, avoiding the wildly splashing lava.

The Frost Giant Spirit, whether it was fearless due to its strength or simply hadn’t reacted, remained.

It stood majestically in the volcano’s crater, its translucent body refracting a faint blue cold light, and its internal energy core pulsed slowly like an ancient glacier.

Instead of retreating, it advanced; with each step, the lava beneath its feet instantly solidified into obsidian-like ice crystals, only to be re-melted by the writhing magma in the next second.

It was as if an eternal struggle between ice and fire was being enacted.

Are you playing around?

Mingxi: “...”

Has this Frost Giant Spirit never seen a volcano before?

It’s not impossible.

Frost Giant Spirits prefer cold, and their usual living environment is generally kept below -10℃. Overheating can cause them to shed a lot of fur and exhibit abnormal emotional reactions.

Such as irritability, even frenzy, depression, even sorrow... and other strong emotions.

So, it’s not surprising that it’s curious about the volcano.

Even a fool would be curious the first time he sees ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) dog poop.

“Retreat!”

Wu Luo also noticed his pet’s mischievous behavior at this point and quickly stopped it.

Mingxi, “Flame Quicksand.”

Flames spread out beneath the Frost Giant Spirit’s retreating feet, trapping it with magma, flames, and quicksand.

Lan Yue’s unusually calm heterochromatic pupils reflected the crimson magma, like a burning, raging fighting spirit.

It was inherently dual Ice and Fire-type, and its attribute level had already reached the Yuanjing stage.

Therefore, this environment actually had no impact on it; on the contrary, it was a good thing.

But the Frost Giant Spirit was, after all, a Saint-rank.

It wouldn’t go down easy.

Facing Lan Yue’s use of the environment to its advantage,

It didn’t even move, simply raising its right claw, formed from ten thousand-year-old ice, and gently tapping the ground—

“Crack—”

In an instant, an extreme cold ripple visible to the naked eye spread wildly along the ground, as if even the erupting magma had met its nemesis.

Another Heavenly-Rank skill, Ice Snow Lockdown!

The half-empty space where Lan Yue was located was instantly enveloped by a thick layer of ice, and glittering Ice Spikes, like living things, climbed up its limbs.

Even more terrifying, the Chill contained powerful sealing energy.

Lan Yue’s movement speed was instantly reduced by more than half.

Starting from its left foot, ice crystals grew uncontrollably, and in just two short seconds, they had almost covered half of its body.

“Emerald Green, cancel Lan Yue’s friendly target! Lan Yue, burn yourself with Fire Lotus! Quick!”

Ice Snow Lockdown, the strongest sealing skill among Ice-type skills, bar none.

Once released, it is locked, and the pet does not need to maintain energy consumption later; the freezing effect can last for as long as five minutes, and once completely frozen by Ice Snow Lockdown, one will be forcibly silenced for three minutes, at which point no method can unfreeze it, possessing absolute validity.

If it reached that point, Lan Yue would have almost no chance of escaping.

So, Lan Yue absolutely could not be completely frozen.

Mingxi’s shouts pierced through the howling cold wind.

A searing white Fire Lotus bloomed on Lan Yue’s body; a gust of cold wind blew, and the falling petals fueled the flames, which surged threefold, their tongues licking its frozen left half.

Even its own skill, if not marked as friendly, Fire Lotus devouring the body would still cause a certain amount of damage.

What’s more, it still had a large amount of ice on its body.

That’s why Mingxi had Emerald Green first remove Lan Yue’s friend-or-foe marker.

As long as the speaking speed and hand speed were fast enough, burning oneself was so easy!

Lan Yue endured the pain, letting the tongues of fire erode it, and steaming fire rings appeared one by one.

The ice layer cracked with an ear-splitting ‘sizzle’.

But the Frost Giant Spirit wouldn’t just stand by and watch either.

“Buzz—”

Five ice blades, condensed from aurora, carved perfect arcs in the air.

“Extreme Ice Blade!”

Wherever the blade passed, even the air was frozen, leaving behind fragmented ice crystal trails.

“Ice Wall.”

Hearing Mingxi’s command, Wu Luo’s lips curved into a sneering smile.

Using an Ice Wall to block the Frost Giant Spirit’s Extreme Ice Blade? Was Mingxi at her wit’s end?

Still too young after all.

Not calm enough when truly facing trouble.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The Extreme Ice Blade struck the Ice Wall one after another, continuously emitting dull, piercing sounds, but—

“How is this possible!”

The mockery in Wu Luo’s eyes hadn’t faded before it seamlessly transitioned into astonishment.

The Ice Wall, which he thought would be easily shattered, not only didn’t break but actually shattered all of the Extreme Ice Blades released by the Frost Giant Spirit!

“Is this really an Ice Wall? Are you sure it’s not an Extreme Ice Heavenly Shield?”

Wu Luo was full of self-doubt, and even more, he suspected that Mingxi and this ice-fire big cat were trying to use a language trap to influence his willpower.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand.

It was that he simply couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation.

His Frost Giant Spirit’s Extreme Ice Blade was an Ice-type Earth-Rank skill, with mastery already at the proficient level. For the basic skill Ice Wall to block the blade,

There were only two possibilities.

The Ice Wall’s proficiency reached or exceeded the divine level; or

The pet’s Ice attribute core level was at the ultimate level.

But neither of these possibilities should be possessed by a pet contracted by someone Mingxi’s age.

Even if the opponent’s genius reputation resounded throughout the alliance.

Even if none of the opponent’s pets were ordinary.

It shouldn’t be.

It couldn’t be.
