Chapter 410: 407 Extreme Cold Hell

Extreme Cold Hell.

The Ice Giant swung down his club.

In an instant, endless cold air burst forth, and a blizzard suddenly erupted within dozens of meters around the club.

The club in its hand also transformed into an ice form in an instant, and many fine and sharp spikes appeared on the club, making it look both fierce and terrifying.

With one swing, wouldn’t that be a bloodbath and riddled with holes?

But Silly didn’t fear at all, it was just as fearless as Lu Wu, what kind of brutal beatings hadn’t it experienced? To take a step back would mean admitting defeat!

Han didn’t dodge or evade, it swung its wings and bravely resisted the club.

Ah, commendable courage, but its power was slightly lacking.

“Crack!”

When the Ice Giant swung down, a clear, crisp sound of bones shattering echoed.

Silly’s wings were directly broken by the club, and the piercing cold ice surged into Silly’s body, freezing half of this bird.

It’s fair to say, the Ice Giant grievously wounded this silly bird in one strike.

However, this was normal since there was a significant difference in power between them.

Silly was only King Level 3 Stars, while this Ice Giant had reached Epic 0 Star.

This silly bird using its flesh to fend off attacks, being defeated in one strike was to be expected.

The club breaking Silly’s wings, the Ice Giant swung another kick that swept the obstructive bird out of the way.

Clearing the obstructions, the Ice Giant once again stretched its devilish claws towards Lu Wu.

At this moment, Lu Wu was still unable to react, remaining immersed in his inconsolable sobbing.

“Troublesome servant, in the end, it looks like it’s up to me!”

An incredibly arrogant voice sounded at this moment.

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword inside Lu Wu’s heart thrust forth, stabbing straight at the Ice Giant.

While shooting, the sword arrogantly declared,

“Foolish beast, who allowed you to lay hands on my master?

Go to hell…ah, it hurts…”

Before the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword could finish its sentence, another swing of the club from the Ice Giant sent it flying.

This grandiose entrance ended in a disgraceful manner, not appearing mighty at all.

But, that was normal, for the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword was a Divine Artifact type Summoned Beast, with all its energies focused on buffing its master; without its master, its power was severely diminished, let alone the vast difference it had with the Ice Giant.

If Silly couldn’t defeat the creature, how could it?

And with the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword sent flying, Lu Wu’s last barrier was gone.

After repelling both Silly and the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, the entire creature became excited.

He thought he was about to capture Lu Wu, but just as he reached out, a blue figure flashed by, and the Lu Wu in front of the Ice Giant was whisked away.

The one who rescued Lu Wu was none other than Han!

Then, with those wings that healed in an instant, it grabbed Lu Wu with one claw and the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword with the other, speeding away.

How to put it.

Silly’s behavior at that moment was different from usual.

If it were a normal situation with someone hitting it, it would definitely enjoy fighting the Ice Giant.

The more fiercely the Ice Giant fought, the happier it became.

But now it was impossible, if they fought now, Lu Wu would be eaten.

It had to first take the injured Lu Wu and run!

Such an act of running with someone was not only something Tuantuan was reluctant to do, the Ice Giant was even less happy about it.

Seeing its prey, which was just about to reach its mouth, attempting to escape, the Ice Giant roared in anger and swung its wooden club towards Tuantuan.

The Ice Giant, being of Epic 0 Star stature, produced a terrifying power with a simple throw.

The club flew, accompanied by a series of sonic booms, and struck Tuantuan in an instant.

Unable to dodge, Tuantuan could only hold Lu Wu to his chest to protect him while maximally activating his defenses, and his “Thorny Shield” talent activated.

“Poof!”

The club struck Tuantuan’s back; the Thorny Shield erupted and repelled the club, blocking the blow.

But Tuantuan suffered as well; his back was crushed, and blood sprayed from his sharp eyes and ears, clearly indicating severe injuries. His claws, clutching the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, were broken, and the sword fell down.

Tuantuan noticed the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword falling, but he couldn’t stop; if he did, both he and Lu Wu would be done for.

So, he had to retreat with Lu Wu, leaving the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword behind.

This Ice Giant, after much effort, still let the prey, Lu Wu, slip away and ended up with only a broken sword.

This Ice Giant furiously picked up the broken sword, smashing and biting it with its wooden club trying to destroy it in a fit of rage.

After much struggle, the Ice Giant didn’t manage to damage the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, instead it ended up with a mouth full of blood.

In a rage, the Ice Giant threw the sword far away with a backhand toss.

It turns out that throw was a bit too strong.

How does the saying go? Great strength brings miracles!

With the Ice Giant’s great strength, combined with the sharpness of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, the throw pierced through a nearby ice mountain, embedding deep within it.

As the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword penetrated, the whole ice mountain began to light up.

This sight dumbfounded the nearby Ice Giant.

…

On the other hand, Tuantuan, after escaping with Lu Wu from the Ice Giant, was not yet safe.

They had only just left the Ice Giant’s area by a few dozen miles when new Summoned Beasts set their sights on them.

This time, it was a flock of Cold Ice Vultures.

Specifically, the flock of Cold Ice Vultures had their eyes set on Lu Wu as well.

As soon as Tuantuan entered their territory, the Cold Ice Vultures noticed Lu Wu.

Like the Ice Giant, they too sensed a power on Lu Wu that could strengthen them, even transform them.

This power fascinated them, so without a second thought, they launched an attack on Tuantuan.

In terms of power, the flock of Cold Ice Vultures was much weaker than the Ice Giant, even weaker than Tuantuan at his peak.

The leader had only the strength of a King Level 2 Star, whom Tuantuan could usually easily thrash.

But the issue was that Tuantuan was currently in a bad state, and there were simply too many Cold Ice Vultures.

The entire flock numbered over a hundred.

Most of them were of King-level stature.

And they fought dishonorably!

They didn’t attack Tuantuan one by one but in groups.

As soon as Tuantuan entered, the Cold Ice Vultures swarmed him, their fervor resembling that of supermarket grannies rushing for discounted eggs.

Initially, Tuantuan was shocked by their aggressiveness, and by the time he thought of escaping, it was already too late.

This group of old ladies, oh no, this group of Cold Ice Vultures had surrounded Lu Wu and Han from all sides.

Adding to that, Han had just taken a brutal hit from an Ice Giant’s club, even breaking a claw on its back wing, which greatly reduced its power and speed. Han tried several times but couldn’t break out of the Cold Ice Vulture’s encirclement.

After a few attempts, both Han and Lu Wu had accumulated some injuries.

This completely unleashed Han’s ferocity.

It’s so unethical, it wasn’t even dodging anymore, and these birds were still attacking Lu Wu?

It didn’t matter if they attacked Han, but attacking Lu Wu was not okay.

Lu Wu was already severely damaged, if they continued to attack, he would be completely destroyed, then Han would have no Lu Wu anymore, nor could it enjoy being beaten up.

Initially, Han’s battle strategy was all about taking hits, rarely showing any desire to attack actively.

Its core combat philosophy was, to endure the most poisonous blows and exhaust the opponent!

But today, it realized simply taking hits wasn’t enough, so Han exploded in rage, changing its fighting style.

“Screech!”

With a long cry, Han flapped its wings and sent several of the Cold Ice Vultures that were attacking again flying away.

While repelling the attack, Han kept its eyes on a target and suddenly lunged forward, pecking fiercely with its beak, piercing through a King Level 1 Star Cold Ice Vulture.

At the same time, it unleashed the “Extreme Cold Beam” from its mouth, a burst of energy exploding outwards, taking away that King Level 1 Star Cold Ice Vulture.

It wasn’t over yet.

Han then bit the body of the fallen Cold Ice Vulture again, swiftly pecking out and swallowing the heart where the energy was concentrated.

The sudden ferocity and surge from Han startled the Cold Ice Vultures.

But this single wave wasn’t enough to deter the flock of Cold Ice Vultures.

After a brief moment of confusion, their ferocity was also fully unleashed.

Under the command of the Ice Vulture King, hundreds of Cold Ice Vultures attacked Han again.

This flock of vultures was smart, knowing the tactic of attacking the wounded.

They aimed their strikes vitally.

They either targeted Lu Wu or hit the wounds that the Ice Giant had inflicted on Han.

Under this shameless and unethical assault, Han was battered quite disgracefully for a while.

But its ferocity was gradually ignited.

From the moment it killed the first Cold Ice Vulture, Han kept a tight watch on the attacks from this group of Cold Ice Vultures.

Whenever these Cold Ice Vultures showed any vulnerability, Han would go in with a combination of moves, targeting the vitals, killing the bird, and consuming the heart.

Initially, it was a bit rusty, but after a few times, it became very skilled.

The entire process was incredibly fluid, not sloppy or sluggish at all.

Every strike Han delivered ensured the death of a Cold Ice Vulture.

In just twenty minutes, Han had annihilated ten King Level 1 Star Cold Ice Vultures, causing tremendous loss to this clan.

Typically, such a level of losses would be enough for the flock of Cold Ice Vultures to give up hunting.

But the current situation was clearly not normal.

Despite the heavy losses, the Cold Ice Vultures continued to focus on Lu Wu without any sign of giving up.

They seemed to think there was no need to give up, as Han was also close to its limit.

After all, Han had already been heavily wounded before fighting for over twenty minutes. The silly bird should have been nearly exhausted by now, they thought they were close to reducing it to death.

However, the truth was that Han hadn’t only not been exhausted to death but came out even more spirited.

After all, it possessed the “Unyielding” talent.

Talent included the “Undying Little Strong,” a special talent capable of regenerating even from a severed arm.

Coupled with Tuantuan continuously devouring the hearts of Cold Ice Vultures to replenish its nourishment, its state was not as bad as the Cold Ice Vultures had imagined.

Over twenty minutes, although it and Lu Wu sustained several minor injuries, there were basically no severe injuries.

The significant injury left by the Ice Giant also healed rapidly during the battle, and Tuantuan’s state was improving as the fight progressed.

It became increasingly fierce, and the frequency of its counterattacks grew.

Thirty minutes later, the flock of Cold Ice Vultures finally realized something was wrong—they came to find that this silly bird might indeed be indestructible, and if the fight continued, they would be the ones to perish.

But it was already too late.

Tuantuan’s wounds had almost completely healed, and its ferocity had been fully unleashed.

By this time, it was too late for the Cold Ice Vultures to retreat, and Tuantuan would not let them.

Finally, after an hour of battle, the fight concluded.

Tuantuan, who had entered the battle with severe injuries, not only recovered after an hour but also increased its power, vaguely approaching the Epic 0 Star level.

On the other hand, the Cold Ice Vultures.

An hour ago, they had a King Level 2 Star leader and hundreds in their tribe; after an hour, Tuantuan had devoured half of them, including the leader, and the remaining Cold Ice Vultures fled and dispersed.

This great battle ended with a complete victory for Tuantuan.

However, the battle had greatly drained Tuantuan’s vitality.

After the fight, although Tuantuan’s body was full of excitement and energy, it was somewhat weary in spirit.

Thus, it settled temporarily in the old nest of the Cold Ice Vultures along with Lu Wu.

The nest of this flock of Cold Ice Vultures was built on an enormous ice-blue tree.

At the highest point of the tree, there was a nest constructed from various materials, and in the very center of the nest was an ice-blue ice block on which Tuantuan landed and placed Lu Wu.

That ice block seemed to have a soul-soothing, sleep-inducing effect.

Amid his intense pain, Lu Wu’s facial expression slightly softened when placed on the ice block.

Noticing this scene, Tuantuan immediately became excited.

Believing that the broken Lu Wu was on the mend, it looked at him expectantly with both eyes.

However, Lu Wu didn’t seem to live up to Tuantuan’s expectations.

Although Lu Wu on the ice block was not as agonized as before, he was still in pain.

Tuantuan watched over Lu Wu for over an hour, and Lu Wu still showed no signs of waking up.

Additionally, Tuantuan noticed something else—the ice block beneath Lu Wu seemed to be rapidly absorbed by his body while he lay there.

In just about an hour, the ice block had noticeably shrunk.

At this rate, the ice block would soon be gone!

What to do?

Tuantuan tilted its head, pondering for a moment.

(Is finding this kind of ice what Lu Wu needs to recover?)

Tuantuan felt that it might be!

(It’s decided, Tuantuan will take Lu Wu to find more ice!)

Lu Wu would never have expected that his silliest, least reliable Summoned Beast would turn out to be the most dependable one when he was in his worst state.

Having resolved to find the healing ice and fix the ailing Lu Wu, Tuantuan sprang into action.

It first opened its vast mouth, devouring all the stored food in the Cold Ice Vulture’s nest, filling itself to the brim, and then stretched out its newly grown claws to grab Lu Wu and the ice block. With a flap of its wings, Tuantuan took to the skies once more, beginning its journey to find the ice block that could heal Lu Wu…
