This time, the players can't afford to delay any longer; the negative impact of the cold is far greater than they imagined.
When Xiao Jin faced the Snow Beast King, she realized that the Snow Beast King was no longer the same Snow Beast King from the early hours of yesterday.
Whether it's speed, strength, or resistance, it's far superior to what it was before.
The bullets from the Wheel of Fate struck it like a tickle; the Snow Beast King flapped its wings, creating a whirlwind that easily blew everyone away.
Xiao Jin suddenly flipped over, her body drawing a sharp arc in the air before landing steadily.
The long sword whistled through the air and plunged into the ground, acting like a stabilizing force, slowing her backward momentum.
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, her eyes were sharp, like a falcon eyeing its prey.
The next second, she drew her sword with lightning speed, a flash of cold light, and slashed horizontally. With a few crisp "crack" sounds, the flying ice spikes shattered under her sword light, turning into ice shards all over the sky.
However, while Xiao Jin blocked that attack, he couldn't block another.
Beside them, a level three snow beast, its entire body covered in pure white snow, almost blending into its surroundings, was silently approaching Xiao Jin's location.
A cunning glint flashed in its eyes, and just as Xiao Jin stood still, the level-three snow beast suddenly launched an attack.
Several tentacles suddenly sprang out from the snow and shot towards Xiao Jin like lightning.
Although Xiao Jin reacted quickly, he was still a beat slow in the face of this sudden attack.
With a hissing sound, some of the tentacles were blocked by her crystallized armor, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound and sparks flying everywhere.
But one tentacle still broke through her defenses, carrying a chilling aura, and instantly pierced through her shoulder.
"Ugh~" Xiao Jin groaned.
She swung her sword decisively, the blade flashing like a dragon, instantly severing the tentacle on her shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jin grabbed the remaining tentacles tightly with her left hand and pulled them out suddenly. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining her coat red.
Looking around, Xiao Jin realized that the players were not in good condition.
Although the remaining number of snow beasts was only half that of the players, Xiao Jin and the others surrounded the Snow Beast King, and a level 5 snow beast could often entangle two people.
So, when you calculate it this way, there aren't enough people.
As a result, some snow beasts began to ambush players who were fighting nearby, and several of them died because they were caught off guard.
As more and more people died, some players panicked and started thinking about running away again.
It's just a side quest. What difference does it make whether I do it or not? At worst, I'll just forgo the reward. It's better than dying!
With only one hour left, none of the players wanted to die in such a frustrating way.
Taking advantage of the chaos, some people activated their skills and items to escape, disappearing into the vast snow.
Several snow beasts followed, it was unclear whether he would fight back first or be devoured.
As soon as someone saw a player run away, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
Fine, if you leave, I'll leave too!
Nie Xinxin flipped over and landed on the ground, her spear slamming heavily into the earth.
Upon seeing this, he glared and cursed, "Pah! These cowards! They know how to run away with their tails between their legs when they encounter a little difficulty."
Deng Xing took a deep breath and shook his hands, which were numb from the shock: "Hey, third brother, don't be so harsh. This wasn't the only option."
Since they haven't reached a dead end, why shouldn't they be allowed to take that path?
Nie Xinxin glared at him: "I know, I'm just so angry."
"Get out of the way." The next second, Nie Xinxin thrust out her spear, piercing through a snow beast that was about to approach.
At the same time, Gao Ya approached Xiao Jin, her Crimson Moon Blade planted vertically in the ground, and a red barrier rose up to block the ice blades outside.
"So? Do you have any ideas?"
Xiao Jin breathed slightly, twirled the knife with his wrist, and his words did not disappoint Gao Ya.
"Yes, but it will take time."
Gao Ya's eyes lit up: "How long?"
“At least ten minutes,” Xiao Jin replied. “Don’t let anything get close to me during that time.”
This is only possible because of Gao Ya. If it were any other player, Xiao Jin wouldn't choose this method even if he had to run away.
No one knew whether the other party could meet Xiao Jin's requirements within those ten minutes.
"It's been a while!" Gao Ya pursed her lips.
Even if Xiao Jin said it would take half an hour, they would have to bite the bullet and go.
"Alright, it's up to you!" Gao Ya shouted, drawing her sword. "Chen Dong, Wang Qing, Zhang Yuan, you're in charge of protecting Xiao Jin. The rest of you, we'll hold off the Snow Beast King."
"Yes, boss!"
"good."
Everyone's faces lit up with joy. It's good that there's a solution! It's good that there's a solution!
Regardless of Xiao Jin's personality, everyone highly recognizes her abilities.
Upon hearing Gao Ya's words, Chen Dong immediately led his men over and blocked the snow beasts that were trying to pounce.
Xiao Jin, after consuming her last bit of spiritual energy and summoning the Ghost Face Moth to fight alongside the players, closed her eyes.
Under Xiao Jin's mental control, the supernatural power within her surged and gradually converged within her body.
Ordinary attacks cannot seriously damage the Snow Beast King, so Xiao Jin's method is to create a spatial slash derived from his own spatial ability.
The snow beast is enormous, and given its attack and defense capabilities, ordinary spatial slashes can cause limited damage.
Therefore, Xiao Jin planned to risk all of his supernatural abilities and unleash a large-scale spatial slash, as large as it could be.
Ten minutes was a very difficult time for other players.
During this period, without Xiao Jin's strong support, everyone in the team felt unprecedented difficulties.
Gao Ya, Song Chao, and others faced numerous close calls, being mercilessly swatted away by the Snow Beast King and spitting out blood.
Even so, none of them had any intention of leaving.
Chen Dong and his two companions remembered Gao Ya's words and were determined not to let a single snow beast get close.
Suddenly, Nie Xinxin froze. She couldn't dodge in time and felt an irresistible force slam into her, instantly piercing through her entire body.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, a tail covered in scales appeared on Nie Xinxin's chest.
Blood gushed out like a fountain from her pierced wound, staining the surrounding white snow and forming shocking red marks.
The spear slipped limply from her fingers with a crisp, mournful clang.
"Ah! Uh!"
Nie Xinxin's body trembled violently from the excruciating pain. She clenched her teeth, her eyes wide open, the ferocious face of the Snow Beast King was inches away, and the stench wafted towards her, making her heart almost stop beating.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, leaving only her rapid and weak breathing, and the Snow Beast King's deep and powerful panting.
Nie Xinxin used her last bit of strength to struggle, and began to take out items from her system inventory.
