My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 432 - Chapter 432 Chapter 431 Collapse of the Mountain

Chapter 432: Chapter 431 Collapse of the Mountain Chapter 432: Chapter 431 Collapse of the Mountain Boom, boom, boom!

The ground trembled with rolling debris as twisted dark-brown bramblewoods broke through the surface.

This small plain soon filled with bramblewoods of various shapes, shrouded in a pallid fog. Each tree bore a twisted face, looking utterly horrific.

But such a Rotten Forest had no effect on the Ice Giant, and even with all her might, Lingling couldn’t make the trees surpass the giant’s knees.

Instead, they were crushed into splinters under its massive feet.

After this attempt, Lingling rarely used her skills to attack directly and, with the occasional help of the Fire Phoenix Pheasant, continued to toy with the Ice Giant.

Confronted with the several pets in mid-air, the Ice Giant grew increasingly agitated.

It appeared to be truly incapable of long-range attacks; at least its previous use of Ice Flowers wasn’t a skill, but simply entailed compressing ice elements and flinging them with brute force.

This compression process was a waste of time; had it been fighting an equal, it would have been made a target long ago.

Thus, against Lingling aloft, it could only persist in hurling stones upwards.

Such behavior was quite rare for high-tier mutant creatures.

Yet, it had its strengths.

Its defense was incredibly strong, as were its close-quarter attacks and stamina–at least up until now, it hadn’t shown any signs of fatigue.

Even stranger was the other Ice Giant. The happenings here seemed unrelated to it. It simply squatted quietly beside the other smaller giant, fussing over something.

Shao Zifeng’s curiosity piqued, but his vision remained thoroughly obstructed.

“Heehee~”

Lingling dodged the incoming boulders, covering her small face with a black fan with grey patterns, emitting crisp laughter.

Meanwhile, through the debris, several vines twisted and entangled, forming arch-like tripwires.

Unfortunately, they too were brutally kicked apart every time.

Shao Zifeng clearly saw the surrounding debris rapidly decay, clearly activating the ‘Decay’ effect, but it had no impact on the Ice Giant whose ice crystals remained impeccably solid.

Crack!

A deer whip-lashed a stone away, looked up at Shao Zifeng with a hint of worry in its eyes.

Shao Zifeng snapped back to reality, his heart growing heavier.

Tough nut to crack.

This ice…

If the environment remains unchanged, it seems immune to ‘decay’.

It’s like the lowest layers of ice caps in Antarctica, some of which are millions, or even hundreds of millions of years old and solid as ever.

Although Shao Zifeng held no hope for Lingling defeating the Ice Giant, being utterly countered in attributes still frustrated him.

“Looks like we need another plan.”

He glanced at Lingling’s status; she probably could hold on for a while longer.

During this time, he needed to think of an alternative.

His gaze swept around the circle, spotting several people dangling unsteadily from the iceberg, causing Shao Zifeng’s teeth to ache. Why didn’t Lingling think to rescue them first?

“Little Deer, let’s go!”

“Yo~”

After whipping another stone away, Little Deer followed behind Shao Zifeng, circumventing the edge of the snow mountain toward the opposite side.

The punch from the giant was swift, but it still relied on those two legs to chase after them.

So damn far away.

The ground continued to shake, with stones periodically flying at them.

The giant’s angry roars only added to the oppressive atmosphere.

With Little Deer’s help, Shao Zifeng quickly reached the most dangerous segment of their path.

It was the squatting Ice Giant. Little Deer protected them with a huge stone bound by vines, creeping forward at a snail’s pace like thieves in the night, stopping at the slightest rustle.

Yet even after they had gotten past the giant, it didn’t once lift its head to look.

This left Shao Zifeng feeling quite foolish.

Just as he let out a sigh of relief, Shao Zifeng suddenly felt his heart tighten.

He turned around to see the crouching Ice Giant staring at him fixedly with its irregular eyes.

And in front of it, the upper half-missing smaller giant’s fingers twitched.

Click-clack, click-clack!

Dense cracking noises arose, and the crouching Ice Giant slowly stood up, a large amount of ice shavings falling from its joints. Fortunately, it did not attack but simply stood there silently, watching.

Then, the headless smaller giant also used its arms to support itself on the ground and slowly crawled up.

Oh my God!

Shao Zifeng was shocked.

Capable of being revived without a head, this damn thing is like the national treasure of Mutant Creatures, right?

What on earth are these things?

Shao Zifeng, accustomed to using cheats, felt somewhat powerless. Completely unaware of the opponent’s attributes, and being weaker than them, was quite distressing.

At that moment, his pupils contracted.

He saw a human-shaped ice block, reduced to a fraction of its size, peering out curiously from the body of the smaller giant that was missing half of its torso.

This was unmistakably the body of the small giant he had seen before.

Peripheral light spun, the screen of light…

Shit!

“Boom–”

Just as Shao Zifeng was preparing to take a closer look, the Ice Giant that had been motionless suddenly shattered a boulder nearby and hurled a chunk of rock towards him.

The boulder, roaring through the air, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lingling stepped forward, light swirling in its eyes. Thick vines burst from the earth, interweaving and forming an impenetrable net.

Boom!

The boulder smashed into the net; the net of vines rapidly bulged, then fiercely flung it away just before it could reach Shao Zifeng.

At the same time, two vines entangled Shao Zifeng’s waist and swiftly carried him away to escape.

Having just run a short distance, the net of vines behind him collapsed again…

Hisss–

Sharp ice discs instantly shredded the net of vines, hitting the spot where Shao Zifeng had just been standing. Rocks exploded and tipped up, dust mixed with wood shavings filled the air.

The Ice Giant extended its arms, around which swirls of smoke-like ice elements wound.

Looking up at Shao Zifeng, who had run some distance away, the Ice Giant’s gaze flickered and it let out an angry roar.

The distant giant immediately ceased its actions and turned, walking over in this direction.

No matter how Lingling and the others attacked, they couldn’t prevent its advance.

“Damn creature, don’t underestimate us!”

Lingling abruptly snapped its folding fan shut, revealing luscious little lips–the only color on its form.

Two small hands wielded black thorny whips.

Snap!

With a loud crack of the whip, Lingling, brandishing the small leather whip, lashed at the Ice Giant. Though ice splinters flew everywhere, the giant paid them no heed.

Lingling’s expression became frantic as it rushed in front of the Ice Giant regardless of the consequences, spreading its arms wide.

The Ice Giant halted in its tracks, looking at the tiny figure before it with disdain.

Then it swung out a punch.

“Lingling!”

Shao Zifeng’s heart tightened.

Boom!

Right at that moment, the nearby mountain suddenly exploded.

The earth shook violently, countless boulders raining down as if in a deluge, the dense and heavy collision sounds continuing without end.

Rolling dust gathered into a towering plume, for a moment resembling the apocalypse.

Long after, the trembling of the earth slowly subsided, and the dusty sky fell into a silence as if death itself had ensued.

Thud!

Heavy footsteps sounded, and the two Ice Giants turned their heads.

Thud!

Thud!

Heavy footsteps continued unfalteringly, mixed with coarse, heavy breathing.

It seemed a great beast was slowly approaching.
