My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 368 - Chapter 368 Chapter 367 Ambush (2)

Chapter 368: Chapter 367 Ambush (2) Chapter 368: Chapter 367 Ambush (2) The all-terrain snowmobile roared as it leaped into the air.

Shao Zifeng gripped the handlebars tightly, his upper body bent low, leaving a fist-sized gap from the fuel tank, his legs clamped around the tank, his butt raised off the seat.

The howling cold wind mixed with the snow slapped against his helmet visor, turning everything in front of him a blinding white.

Boom!

As the all-terrain snowmobile crashed heavily into a snow nest and roared forward, Shao Zifeng finally relaxed.

Such obstacle leaping looked cool, but one must execute it just as he had done.

Otherwise…

All hell would break loose.

And it’d be quite the hassle.

Zzzt~

At that moment, a static noise came through the earpiece in his helmet.

“One hundred meters ahead, on the left, there’s a small wind-sheltered valley, let’s go there to regroup.”

As Chen Yixin’s voice faded, the speed of the all-terrain snowmobile convoy slowed down and eventually stopped in front of the small valley.

Entering the valley, the wind indeed died down.

The team members got off their vehicles one by one, stretching their limbs, with some starting to dig snow and boil water using shovels and pressure cookers.

After getting off, Shao Zifeng stretched lazily; it had been over four hours since leaving the new station at Ross Bay.

He flexed his joints, grabbed a few compressed biscuits from the transport sled, and then poured a cup of boiling snow water from Yang Qi. He started eating the biscuits with the water.

The cold wind swept over from the mountain top, causing the snow to drift and flutter.

Looking up from below, the mountain top seemed to be enveloped by a sheer veil, constantly swaying in the cold wind.

Zzzt~

The earpiece in his helmet chirped again: “Shao Zifeng, come over here.”

For convenient communication, the walkie-talkie settings in this area were akin to a game, divided into public channels, team channels, and private channels. At this moment, Chen Yixin was contacting Shao Zifeng through a private channel.

After quickly finishing the biscuits in his hand and drinking the water, Shao Zifeng cleaned up and walked towards the slope where Chen Yixin was.

She wasn’t eating anything, still wearing her visor and gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

“What’s up?”

Shao Zifeng followed her gaze for a while; there was nothing but a blanket of white.

“I got a message from Er Ya. Those guys on the Yermak will be landing today or tomorrow.”

Listening to the slightly distorted voice in the earpiece, Shao Zifeng frowned and pondered for a moment.

“So you delayed our departure by a day to prepare for an ambush?”

Chen Yixin in her helmet nodded slightly: “They have legitimate procedures. It’s difficult to deal with them at sea, but once they get to Antarctica…”

“Keeping them around is ultimately a trouble.”

Such a badass, Miss Sister.

Seeing this wild side of Chen Yixin, Shao Zifeng was thoroughly impressed.

First, there was that compelling speech, followed by this resolute and decisive style.

She didn’t at all resemble the big sister he used to know; it was like she had become a completely different person.

“Ambush here?”

“Mmm.”

Chen Yixin gently nodded.

Shao Zifeng said nothing more, he wiped the snow off his visor with his hand, pulled down the visor, and started surveying the entire valley’s environment.

The valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a very gentle slope from the foot to the top of the mountain. If not for the bulky protective gear, Shao Zifeng felt like he could even run up there.

From Shao Zifeng’s perspective, this place was not suitable for an ambush.

“I know what you want to say.” Chen Yixin didn’t wait for Shao Zifeng to speak, her voice coming through the headset, “Compared to other places, this valley is the only shelter from the wind for miles around, and if they want to track us, they will definitely stop here for a rest.”

Hearing her, Shao Zifeng understood Chen Yixin’s thinking. Relying on the valley’s conditions, it indeed was not an ideal ambush spot. But if you add in the fact that it was the only windbreak for miles, that made it an excellent place for an ambush.

“Do you need me to prepare anything?”

Upon hearing Shao Zifeng’s question, Chen Yixin retracted her distant gaze and looked at him.

“I called you over primarily to tell you to not take too many risks once the fighting starts, and to focus on keeping yourself safe–that’s what’s most important.”

“Even if the ambush doesn’t succeed, we can simply resort to a war of attrition. They can’t outlast us, so you don’t need to push too hard.”

“If something were to happen, I wouldn’t even know how to explain it to your sister-in-law. She considers you…”

At this, Chen Yixin suddenly stopped speaking and gently brushed the snow off Shao Zifeng’s protective suit.

“???”

Feeling moved, Shao Zifeng suddenly didn’t feel quite right. What she thinks of me, you could at least clarify that.

Leaving someone hanging like this is no act of a hero!

“Cough cough.” Realizing her slip of the tongue, Chen Yixin quickly changed the subject, “You go back and get ready first, I’ll have someone from the Fire Phoenix forces hide the vehicle in a bit.”

After she finished, she ignored Shao Zifeng, pressing a few buttons on her helmet, and Shao Zifeng was no longer able to receive her messages.

Shao Zifeng didn’t leave; instead he stood beside Chen Yixin, quietly mimicking her posture and movements.

A moment later, seven members of the Fire Phoenix forces hurriedly left.

Chen Yixin pressed a few more buttons on her helmet, and her voice came through the headset again, this time on the public channel.

“Everyone, stop for a moment, I have something to announce.”

The people resting in the valley stopped their activities and turned to look up the slope.

“Due to some unexpected events, we will not continue on our journey today. If nothing goes wrong, we will camp here, so…”

“Oh? Professor Chen, are you planning to ambush us here?”

“It really is a case of great minds thinking alike!”

Suddenly, a burst of static interference came through the headset, and the phrase was translated simultaneously into everyone’s ears.

“ROAR!”

A huge roar suddenly erupted from the top of the valley, its deep and ferocious tone chilling to the bone.

Before anyone could react, the valley began to shake, the ice on the ground cracking, and sharp, dried-out tendrils broke through the ice.

The Fire Phoenix forces that were about to exit the valley slowly retreated, forced back into the valley by the tendrils.

The tendrils continuously twisted and entangled, surrounding the people in the valley in the middle.

Each person had several tendrils pointed at their head, daring not to make any rash moves.

Unlike ordinary tendrils, these dry, branch-like yellow tendrils kept dripping liquid.

The transparent liquid fell onto the ice, sizzling and leaving behind black spots.

Apart from the three real scientists who were somewhat panicked, Cang Haiyuan and several members of the Fire Phoenix were clearly more composed.

They discreetly looked towards Chen Yixin on the slope, whispering to each other on a private channel.

Shao Zifeng and Chen Yixin stood back to back, each with a dried yellow tendril pointed at their heads, slightly swaying like snakes.

“ROAR!”

Another deafening roar sounded.

A tall man appeared at the top of the mountain, standing beside a brown bear.

The bear opened its mouth to exhale steam, its sharp teeth dripping with viscous saliva as it greedily eyed the people in the valley like they were its food.

“Professor Chen, we meet again. Valery sends his regards from here.”
