CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: ICE MAGIC LION

Ning Zimo was not in a hurry, firmly believing that no one was behind him, he chose to open up the area in a leisurely manner.

His speed couldn’t match Cai Yuanji’s, but the advantage was that he could conserve energy to deal with the Corpse-Eroding Beast King.

However, a few minutes later, a shout from a Beastmaster specializing in information skills made everyone turn their heads.

"My Spirit Beast heard someone talking!"

Everyone was stunned, suddenly feeling a chill on their scalp.

This Demon Beast King can speak?

If it could speak, it would be at a level of Great Success, not something they could handle.

"Impossible, if it really could speak, the people above would have taken action already." Ning Zimo quickly responded.

Others nodded in agreement, looking at the information Beastmaster, only to hear him looking backward, saying, "They’re here!"

Ning Zimo and others turned their heads, wondering if it was Cai Yuanji and his team.

However, since Cai Yuanji had already conceded to them, he couldn’t make a move against them again.

Who would have thought, the newcomers...

were Team Five.

...

"Who do you think will win if they fight?"

In the air, Huang Xiaotian showed interest.

"Ning Zimo." Lee Zhen still didn’t have high hopes for Team Five.

Lin Chen indeed exceeded expectations; the outcome against Ning Zimo was uncertain, maybe even winning slightly.

However, the other team members were dragging them down, and Bai Jiajia’s Lightning Cat was heavily injured, temporarily unable to fight at full strength.

That makes it even harder.

"Want to bet?"

"How much?"

"Five hundred."

"Alright."

After a simple bet, the two teams below finally closed in.

Ning Zimo watched Lin Chen approaching gradually, pondered for a moment, and said:

"It seems Cai Yuanji couldn’t stop you."

Ning Zimo’s teammates were shocked, thinking Cai Yuanji had lost?

"I persuaded him." Lin Chen replied.

"Impossible, Cai Yuanji values his ranking a lot, he couldn’t have let you pass."

"Then you can’t deny I found another way around? This place is quite big." Lin Chen countered.

Ning Zimo’s teammates thought the same in their hearts.

"You’re very clean, no stains from the Corpse-Eroding Beasts, especially your bull..." Ning Zimo revealed a key piece of information.

Qin Hao and the other two wiped their sweat.

How long they walked, Xiaobai cleaned its face for just as long.

Bai Jiajia had long understood that when Lin Chen said his Spirit Beast was a clean freak, he wasn’t kidding.

"Let me guess..." Ning Zimo seemed to be addicted to reasoning, saying:

"The three of them should not be able to handle Cai Yuanji, so the biggest variable is you."

"You made a move, right?"

"...."

Lin Chen sighed.

Couldn’t hide it...

Otherwise, he could have ambushed him.

Lin Chen wasn’t a gentleman; if he could win, he would try to win as easily and simply as possible, as he still needed to conserve energy to face the Demon Beast King.

He saw Ning Zimo’s urge and excitement to beat him up, so he said:

"Just ten thousand dollars, no need to hold a grudge over it."

Ning Zimo summoned his Spirit Beast and said:

"Ten thousand dollars... that’s my pocket money for a month!"

....

Qin Hao was shocked after hearing this.

How can a person be this rich?

Lin Chen’s thought was...

The amount was understated.

He didn’t expect the opponent to be so wealthy.

Should have asked for fifty thousand instead.

As the feeling of regret surfaced, Lin Chen also summoned Xiaobai, introducing the opponent’s Spirit Beast:

[Snow Lion]

[Level: 10]

[High-level Mortal Beast]

[Skill 1: Lion’s Breath, gathers Beast Power to blow out icy breath, restricting movement and causing damage]

[Skill 2: Lion’s Shattered Ice, gathers Beast Power to blow out sharp ice shards, causing significant damage]

Lin Chen finally understood why Ning Zimo was ranked first in strength.

Among Mortal Beasts, the Snow Lion is highly rated, known as the [Ice Magic Lion], nearly reaching the quality of a Spiritual Shedding Beast, it’s considered the pinnacle among high-level Mortal Beasts.

Great!

Your bloodline, reserved!

Among the great carvings, Lee Zhen was equally satisfied with Ning Zimo...

The probability of the Snow Lion evolving to the next stage is high, and its strength is equally formidable, with unlimited potential.

Ning Zimo’s family is great, he theoretically doesn’t need to come here.

But Ning Zimo was born in the side branch of the family and has always wanted to prove himself, unwilling to go to the Inner Courtyard, choosing to come to the Monster Hunter Guild to hone himself, hoping one day to defeat his brother from the main branch.

While Lee Zhen was deep in thought, a battle broke out below.

Lin Chen and Ning Zimo weren’t the kind-hearted type, yet Ning Zimo’s teammates were curious to see how the Plowhorn Beast would fare against the Snow Lion.

Almost instantaneously, the Snow Lion leapt up, directly using Lion’s Shattered Ice.

Crack~~

The chill struck, seemingly causing the air temperature to drop abruptly, then ice blades spewed from its mouth, slicing through the air and emitting a sharp whistle, glinting sharply in the sunlight as they rushed toward Xiaobai.

The speed was incredibly fast, making it impossible to dodge at a normal pace.

Xiaobai recalled Lin Chen’s previously given instructions, knowing the Snow Lion excelled in long-range attacks, but didn’t perform well in close combat.

Therefore, Xiaobai’s goal was to get close to the opponent.

...

Utilizing the speed of Iron Horn Impact to dodge the ice blades while quickly approaching the enemy.

However, the Snow Lion wasn’t foolish, it also knew its weakness in close combat.

It used Lion’s Breath to directly freeze the path ahead of Xiaobai.

Xiaobai had no choice but to dodge.

Unexpectedly, the Snow Lion only took a short break before launching Lion’s Shattered Ice again.

This time, Xiaobai couldn’t escape in time, its tail was scratched.

"Ooh~~"

Xiao Hong, acting as the cheerleader, saw this and was very anxious, shouting.

Lin Chen knew it was anxious, but he still educated, "Believe in it."

Xiao Hong nodded its fox head.

Xiaobai didn’t even glance back at its wound, and continued to rush forward.

The Snow Lion quickly retreated a few steps, the glimmer of playfulness sparkled in its eyes.

Ning Zimo’s gaze also showed a hint of amusement...

Lin Chen’s Plowhorn Beast seemed indeed somewhat special.

But so what?

You simply can’t get close.

"Lion’s Breath."

The Snow Lion recycled its old trick, attempting to slowly grind Xiaobai down.

The icy breath touched the ground, swiftly solidifying into ice blocks.

This time, Xiaobai didn’t dodge.

Ning Zimo was stunned, thinking could the victory be decided so soon?

As long as the breath freezes, Xiaobai is sure to lose.

Its Lion’s Breath, its power and effect are very substantial.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai raised its hoof high, and just when the ice blocks were about to spread to its feet, it stomped hard toward the direction not far from the Snow Lion.

Soul-Calming Hoof!

Stamp~

As the hoof hit the ground, a cracking sound was heard, then all the fan-shaped ice shattered, a shock wave surging toward the Snow Lion.

"Soul-Calming Hoof!"

Ning Zimo saw through it immediately, suddenly panicking.

However, the Snow Lion couldn’t dodge.

Boom~~

With an explosion, came a sense of dizziness.

When the Snow Lion regained its senses, it saw a furious Residual Shadow bull charging in.

The Snow Lion desperately tried to wake itself up, but against the speed of Iron Horn Impact, dodging was already impossible.

The Snow Lion was filled with despair, Ning Zimo’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He... Ning Zimo was going to lose?!

At the critical moment, a fireball flew in from the flank, intercepting between them.

Xiaobai made an abrupt brake and turned direction.

Turning its head, it saw a Fire Monkey.
