“Meow! Meow! (ᓀωᓂ)” (I can win! It can’t reach me!)
“Hmm?” Hearing Qiuqiu’s words, Lin Su seemed to think of something and turned his head to look at the Ice Armor Scorpion.
Erosion Mark… Ice Armor… Cold Claw Kill…
Among the three abilities of the Ice Armor Scorpion, the first is to use the stinger’s poison to apply a negative status to the opponent over a long period, the second ability is a defensive skill, and the third ability is to attack the opponent with the claws.
Are they all close-combat skills?
Having seen that the opponent was of elite rank and realizing the gap in regular energy levels between them, Lin Su had subconsciously prepared to retreat, but after Qiuqiu’s reminder…
It seems, perhaps, possibly…
If Qiuqiu flies in the sky, can this big guy do nothing about it?
With a Tier II Frost Storm, Qiuqiu has enough attack power to threaten the elite rank Ice Armor Scorpion, unless the latter possesses a Tier III Ice Armor.
It’s basically impossible for these wild elite beasts to master a Tier III skill, nor would they possess instructional skills.
It looks like what Qiuqiu lacks is just energy.
And with the help of energy potions, energy recovery is very fast…
With that, Lin Su actually felt somewhat tempted.
Try it?
If obtained now, this resource could be used as an additional evolutionary resource during Qiuqiu’s evolution, increasing the probability of a more powerful evolutionary form.
If gained after evolution, it would be of no use.
Therefore, if possible, now is naturally the best choice to acquire this supernatural resource.
“Qiuqiu, let’s leave this place first,” Lin Su said in a low voice, a flash of light in his eyes.
“Meow?” (We’re not fighting?)
“We are, but we need to prepare first,” Lin Su said as he hugged the approaching Qiuqiu, slowly walking towards the outside of the snow mountain.
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Fighting against that Ice Armor Scorpion wasn’t completely impossible, but there were two issues.
The first issue was that Qiuqiu’s energy wasn’t sufficient, and it would need to carry energy potions for replenishment during battle. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The second issue was Lin Su himself.
This wasn’t a fair one-on-one battle; once the Ice Armor Scorpion realized it couldn’t attack Qiuqiu, what would it do?
Naturally, it would attack the Beast Tamer still commanding the battle from the snow-covered ground.
And with only Body Refining Realm martial arts, Lin Su was barely on par with juvenile beasts, definitely no match for the Ice Armor Scorpion.
So in this battle, he couldn’t even show himself; he could only rely on Qiuqiu to resolve the situation.
Once back on solid ground and looking at the lush forest not far away, Lin Su fell into silence.
On the way out of the snow mountain, Lin Su had explained all the potential problems to Qiuqiu; it knew that this time Lin Su couldn’t fight alongside it.
Even so, Qiuqiu still wanted to try; after all, acquiring that supernatural resource would give its evolution a surer guarantee.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Su took out an energy potion from his Space Ring and carefully tied it to Qiuqiu’s waist with a string, followed by a second bottle, a third bottle…
In the end, Qiuqiu’s waist was adorned with five energy potions.
“These are all perfect-grade energy potions, one bottle can replenish your strength more than five times,” Lin Su spoke softly, “around here should be enough to fill you up over twenty times, that should be sufficient for energy…”
A hint of worry appeared in his eyes as he gently stroked Qiuqiu’s body.
“Be careful. Lock on to your opponent with Frost Eyes and continuously attack with Frost Storm. If the opponent threatens you with a force, it’s okay to run away without fighting. With Tier III Snow Trace, there are basically no creatures below the commander rank faster than you.”
“Meow!” (Understood!)
Lin Su opened his mouth, having already explained all the key points, but still feeling like something was missing.
In the end, with a light laugh, he patted Qiuqiu’s head, “Go for it! I believe in you!”
“Meow!” (I’ll do my best!)
Watching Qiuqiu carrying the energy potions and heading towards the Ice Armor Scorpion, Lin Su stood quietly on the spot, his expression complex.
This was the first time he became a burden to Qiuqiu in a battle.
After entering the Beast Tamer University, he needed to quickly master Guardian Beast Co-operation.
Only by mastering Guardian Beast Co-operation could he truly fight alongside Qiuqiu, rather than just directing from the sidelines.
…
Seated high upon the frosty sky, Qiuqiu’s eyes were filled with a rich frost intent and a blazing battle spirit, quietly observing the ice cave below.
The Ice Armor Scorpion that had been at the entrance of the ice cave was no longer in sight, probably having returned to the depths of the cave after seeing Lin Su and Qiuqiu leave.
Qiuqiu’s eyes flashed, and a Frost Storm, condensed to its utmost, blasted towards the entrance of the ice cave like a heavy cannon.
The wind and snow at this moment seemed to be drawn by the Frost Storm, enveloped by the raging blizzard and becoming part of it. The icy blue and white colors interweaved rapidly, growing stronger.
This was the advantage of the home ground. With environmental bonuses, the power of Frost Storm was at least ten percent greater than before.
The Frost Storm struck upon the snowfield, creating an energy storm that swept around instantly. Even the entrance of the ice cave was on the verge of collapse under this tumultuous energy, nearly ready to fall apart.
Under such a strike, a deep pit was instantly blasted into the ground at the entrance of the cave. The snow was compressed and solidified by the heavy storm before it could scatter, turning snow into ice, tracing the pathway of the storm within the deep pit.
