After all, we have now reached a critical moment. As soon as the timer starts, players will be surrounded by hordes of snow bears and could lose their lives if they make a mistake.

Jiang An was secretly overjoyed. It was thanks to the little turtle's ability to freely adjust its size after waking up yesterday that it could enter the lower cabin and come to her workshop to help her make bows and arrows.

"Little turtle, have you learned it?" Jiang An turned to look at the little turtle beside him, his eyes filled with expectation and concern.

It's important to know that bows and arrows are currently the most sought-after resource, but the little turtle can't use them, and the range of its ice arrows is also limited.

Therefore, while she is attacking the ice bear with her bow and arrow, the little turtle can take this opportunity to make more arrows for future use or for trading.

She didn't know how many ice bears she needed to hunt to get into the top 100, but Jiang An wanted to be among the top 100 and wanted the rewards the game offered.

Just then, a crisp and melodious "ding~~ding~~" sound suddenly rang out. It turned out that Jiang An's alarm clock had rung on time, and the hour hand was pointing exactly to 7:25.

Only five minutes left!

"Little Turtle, I'm entrusting everything to you!" Jiang An shouted anxiously, then quickly pulled out a bunch of various raw materials from his backpack and threw them all onto the empty floor of the workshop.

Immediately afterwards, she deftly put the meticulously crafted bow and arrows into her backpack.

After finishing all that, she didn't even have time to pause and listen to see if the little turtle would respond before rushing to the deck.

The moment she reached the deck, as if by magic, a gleaming bow and arrow suddenly appeared in her hand.

Without hesitation, she raised her bow and arrow, her eyes fixed intently on the nearest, incredibly powerful ice bear directly in front of her.

[Time's up! Players, enjoy the battle!]

As these words fell, it was like a thunderclap ripped through the sky, instantly shattering the once calm, still ice surface.

As if receiving some mysterious command, all the ice bears began to stir and rushed straight toward the steamship at lightning speed.

Whether at the bow, stern, or every corner of the ship, countless ferocious, baring-toothed bears were trying to climb aboard.

Just as one of the massive ice bears was about to leap onto the deck, the ship's seemingly indestructible protective shield suddenly activated without warning.

It kept it outside the steamship, and the protective shield firmly protected the steamship, preventing any ice bear from boarding and damaging it.

"Awooo~ Awooo~ Awooo~~"

"Aww~"

"Aww~"

In an instant, deafening roars of bears rose and fell, echoing through the sky.

These ferocious ice bears, as if possessed, pounced on the protective shield in a frenzy.

Faced with such a surging offensive, the protective shield's energy was rapidly decreasing.

In stark contrast, however, Jiang An's arrows continued to fly incessantly, showing no sign of stopping...

Her intermediate archery skills, combined with her unerring aim, ensured that every arrow hit its mark, striking each ice bear squarely in the eye.

Jiang An fired arrows rapidly, but any ice bears that dared to approach the steamship had their eyes pierced by her arrows.

But that's all the bow and arrow can do. It's just a basic bow and arrow, the most ordinary kind, with limited capabilities.

Meanwhile, the little turtle had already emerged from the cabin and was standing on the aft deck, using its innate ice arrows to attack the ice bear that was approaching the steamship.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang An finally used up his last arrow.

She then rushed out of the protective barrier with the Dragon-Subduing Blade in hand, raising the blade directly towards the ice bear's neck.

In an instant, the enormous ice bear crashed onto the hard ice like a collapsing iceberg, producing a deafening roar.

In an instant, the entire ice layer seemed to tremble, as if the earth itself was shaking from the sudden impact.

Just then, a lithe figure rushed in like lightning, heading straight into the dense swarm of ice bears.

This person is none other than Jiang An!

The safety vest she wore was always in the activated state; after all, one man can't fight against many, and she had to ensure her safety at all times.

Time ticked by, and the battle grew increasingly intense, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.

However, Jiang An remained highly alert and agile, his blade drawing sharp arcs in the air, each strike carrying unparalleled power and speed.

Finally, after a long and arduous battle, the first batch of ice bears fell one after another, their once majestic bodies now stiff and cold.

At this moment, Jiang An was covered in blood from head to toe. The blade he was holding tightly in his hand and the clothes he was wearing were both stained with shockingly bright red blood.

These shocking bloodstains were partly from her own body, but mostly from the huge ice bears lying haphazardly at her feet.

The once indestructible safety suit she wore now had lost all its powerful defensive capabilities, and even the innermost layer of armor had been completely destroyed beyond recognition.

Fortunately, thanks to its exceptionally sturdy shell, the little turtle miraculously escaped serious injury.

However, the little turtle was also exhausted at this moment, lying on the cold, icy ice, panting heavily.

After regaining some strength, Jiang An took out a medicine bottle from his backpack.

He opened the bottle cap, took out a purple-gold pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.

As time passed, the Purple Gold Pill began to take effect, and Jiang An secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, she eagerly turned her gaze to the abundant spoils scattered all around her.

Just as she stepped forward, preparing to take the enormous ice bear into her possession, something unexpected happened—the ice bear vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.

Instead, countless white specks of light, as light as snowflakes, floated and danced.

In just a few seconds, these white dots merged and converged, eventually coalescing into a crystal-clear, round and smooth bead.

Upon seeing this, Jiang An subconsciously stretched out her palm, and the magical bead, as if summoned, fell directly into her warm palm.
