"Ah--"

The big cat was very greedy, but it wanted to eat its toys too, so it pushed the plate and patted He Yu's back with its fluffy paws, conveying its meaning with its eyes.

Seeing this, He Yu smiled and poked a piece of fish with a stick, eating it in small bites, saying softly: "I've had enough, you eat it."

Seeing this, the big cat excitedly pounced on the grilled fish, wagging its tail happily.

- That's great.

- Its toys can be made delicious, and it eats very little.

A cunning flashed in its eyes.

In the distance, Eugene lowered his voice: "So you didn't want to poison the ice beast..."

His voice became depressed: "I feel so bad!!"

If you don't want to poison the ice beast, then you really waste the ice flower! !

In front, He Yu only had two ice flowers in his hand. He picked up the second to last one and prepared to stuff it into the belly of the grilled fish.

Ge Dai: "Do it!"

There are only more than 200 places left. They can't wait any longer. They can't wait.

Everyone rushed up immediately. They

didn't look like quails just now. They were ready to pounce for a long time. They were ferocious and fast. This battle had been planned long ago, and there was no hesitation at all.

Eugene muttered: "I wouldn't have waited if I had known!"

Anyway, we have to take action, so why wait to see He Yu squandering the gifts of nature?

——It made him feel heartbroken.

After he finished muttering, he also rushed up.

Only Zhenxing didn't move. He held the magic cube and stayed where he was, looking in the direction of He Yu and the ice beast in a daze.

"Swish, swish—"

The attack came too suddenly. The Ice Beast was eating. No, it should be said that they attacked while it was eating. Eugene, Ge Dai, Yuan Ze, Cheng Zhao and others attacked the big cat, and some attacked He Yu.

He Yu did not move, as if she did not notice.

The pupils of the Ice Beast shrank, and without time to turn around, it pounced directly on He Yu, blocking all attacks.

The attacks all fell on its back.

"Ah—"

The Ice Beast raised its head and howled.

Then, it turned around with the wound on its back, its pair of blue eyes gradually turned blood red, bared its teeth, and roared at them fiercely.

This big cat that was "docile" in front of He Yu revealed its ferocity.

"Bang!"

It pounced on the crowd, its wings vibrated directly, and it spit out ice arrows at the same time.

Those who have reached this level are all masters, with extraordinary strength, especially when they join forces, their fighting power is amazing. Some people block the ice arrows, and some use equipment to attack the weak points of the big cat. The battle is fierce.

"Bang!"

"Clang clang!"

The big cat was scratched by Eugene's mechanical arm, bleeding, and took two steps back in an instant, looking at them coldly.

——It is really angry.

[System broadcast: 9,900 people have passed the level, and there are 100 places left. Please work hard. ]

There are only 100 places left!

At the same time, heavy snow fell from the sky.

This is the heaviest snow since they went up the mountain.

The big cat looked at them, smelled the delicious food made by the "toy", fluttered its wings, opened its mouth fiercely, and roared -

"Roar!"

The temperature around it dropped sharply, and the ice and snow on the entire mountaintop began to move.

Zhenxing's pupils shrank.

Eugene shouted in horror: "Retreat!"

However, it was too late. The ice and snow on the entire mountaintop seemed to have become the weapon of the ice beast. The ice and snow pushed everyone towards the ice beast, and it rushed up and tore the nearest person apart, and blood spurted into the white snow.

Transfer station.

Zhan Te exclaimed: "No! Look at the live broadcast room next to it, the ice beast in the Heyu competition field is wrong!"

Others looked over and their pupils shrank instantly.

The live broadcast room next to them was also fighting the Frost Beast. Before that, they were at the same level and encountered the same boss. After

entering the transition battle, several people also observed the situation in other competition venues. Those

who only focused on fighting were eventually wiped out. Unless they had tickets, they could not make it to the end.

Only those who joined forces could make it all the way to the sixth level.

In the first, fourth, and fifth levels, they had to join forces to defeat the bosses they encountered.

Their team was unable to fight against the Fiery Bull because they had too few people, but several teams joined forces to win.

It can be seen that the rules of the competition are insidious.

At the beginning, they were lured into killing each other with the "undercover" rule, but in reality, once they started killing each other, and there were too few people left alive at the end, and their fighting power was insufficient, they would die in the level...

There were traps everywhere.

Fortunately, many people in the competition field joined forces and reached the last level together.

Next to them, Krehai and his team were fighting against the ice beasts.

——However, the fighting power of the ice beasts they encountered was completely different from that of the big cat, and if you look closely, even the eyes of the ice beasts are not the same color.

The eyes of other ice beasts are brown, but the eyes of the ice beasts in Heyu's competition field... are blue.

Compared with the ice beasts in other competition fields, the big cat is really too ferocious.

It can actually mobilize the ice and snow on the entire mountaintop, which is beyond cognition.

Qian Yuchen took a breath of cold air: "How is it possible?! How can the bosses encountered be different?!"

Wanrenzhan was originally anxiously watching the live broadcast room, and was stunned when he heard the words.

Then, his pupils shrank, as if he thought of something, his hands clenched into fists, and the expression on his face became heavy.

The discussion at the transfer station was unknown.

Eugene and others were about to collapse. They knew that the ice beast was powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful that it could even mobilize ice and snow!

——How the hell is it possible to win? !

The Ice Beast seemed to enter another state, its blue eyes turned red, and it tore several players to pieces with a few jumps. Eugene, Ge Dai, Cheng Zhao, and Yuan Ze could not care about their teammates at all. While the Ice Beast was killing their teammates, they fled madly and fled down the mountain.

The Ice Beast killed everyone else and was about to go down the mountain to chase them, but then stopped.

It smelled the rich aroma of stewed fish, stopped, looked at the blood on its claws, and the blood red in its eyes faded, returning to a beautiful aqua blue.

It put its claws in the snow, wiped them clean, and then turned and walked towards He Yu.

When passing by Zhenxing, Zhenxing was holding a Rubik's Cube in his hand and looking at the Ice Beast warily.

——This guy is so scary.

——It can actually mobilize ice and snow, but it is obviously not ice and snow.

How did it do that?

He Yu also saw the scene just now. He lowered his eyes slightly and murmured softly: "A boss who uses natural elements?"

He has been exploring the cultivation system.

It seems that... the ice beast has done it unknowingly.

Why?

Is it still an ordinary NPC set by the system?

"Awooo..." The big cat walked in front of He Yu, looking aggrieved, and put his big face in front of He Yu.

He Yu raised his hand and rubbed it gently: "Don't be angry, no one will disturb you to eat."

He extinguished the big pot of fire next to him and said softly: "The fish is ready, you can eat it when it gets cooler."

The snow kept falling, and the ice beast raised one of its front paws to block He Yu under its body to block the continuous wind and snow.

Hearing this, it kept the action of covering, excitedly poked its head over, smelled the smell, and immediately stretched out its tongue to lick it, but it was burned.

"Aww--"

He Yu smiled softly and shook his head helplessly: "You, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Aww!" The big cat was very anxious.

After waiting for a few seconds, it couldn't wait to lick it again. It was obviously very hot, and it ate happily with pain.

But the big cat couldn't wait at all.

——It's so delicious!

——It has never eaten anything so delicious!

The big cat has never eaten stewed fish before. Fish stewed with ice flowers is different from grilled fish. It is another kind of deliciousness.

"Shaha——"

A big cat, while breathing out, eats the steaming stewed fish, and his beard trembles from the heat, but he still insists on eating it.

Where is the ferocious look just now?

Audience——

"Just now it looked fierce, but now it looks cute. I am convinced."

"The Ice Beast is really fierce, but in front of He Yu, it is also really cute. It is very good to He Yu, shielding He Yu from the wind and snow, and He Yu is also very good to it."

"Don't discuss whether it is cute or not, @Top Stream Selection, why is this Ice Beast so much stronger than the Ice Beasts in other arenas?"

"Yes, the Ice Beasts in other arenas can win as long as they join forces. The Ice Beast in this arena is so strong that it is suffocating. Eugene and the others can't beat it. How to deal with this?" "

Give an explanation!!"

...

Zhenxing said seriously: "He is very strong."

He Yu nodded calmly.

Very strong, and abnormally strong.

He Yu didn't believe that the copy set up by "Top Talent Show" was impossible to pass. Combined with the ice and snow he had just mobilized...

He Yu guessed that this fighting power was beyond the system default.

His eyes were deep, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he said nothing.

He was in a trance until the sparks burned his fingers, and then he came to his senses. Next to him, the ice beast had finished this pot, and He Yu stewed another pot for it.

While waiting, he fed it the grilled fish one by one.

After the grilled fish was finished, the stewed fish soup could be drunk again, and the big cat was so happy that he was bubbling.

I just feel that owning a "toy" is the luckiest thing since I was conscious.

That's not all. He Yu also turned the big pot into an iron plate and fried fish for it. It seemed that he wanted to make all the fish delicacies he could for the ice beast.

The big cat swung its tail wildly, keeping the action of shielding from the snow, and licked He Yu from time to time, very satisfied.

——That's great.

After eating all the fish, the big cat was full for the first time by eating fish, and he was so happy that he kept "gulping". He licked the corners of his mouth clean, hugged He Yu into his arms, and rolled in the snow.

The wind and snow continued, and the big cat was very warm.

[System broadcast: 9950 people have passed the level, and there are 50 places left. Please work hard. 】

Bullet screen——

"What does He Yu want to do? Isn't he leaving yet?"

"Zhen Xing didn't leave either. Is he waiting for He Yu?"

"Fuck, there are only fifty spots left. It's too dangerous. Hurry up."

"It's impossible to win this competition. He Yu mainly encountered a different kind of ice beast. It's not too embarrassing not to pass it."

"Because it's snowing, it's already dark. Does He Yu's decision not to take action before dark really have no other meaning?"

...

The audience was discussing it.

It was getting darker and darker. The top of the mountain was covered with snow, so you could still see the surroundings clearly.

He Yu stood on the big cat's hand and lay on its nose.

He reached out and gently touched the big cat's aqua blue eyes with a very gentle movement.

The big cat looked at him obediently and blinked.

"Time is running out." He Yu said hoarsely, "Will I ever see you again? This pair of familiar eyes."

"Awooo?" The big cat was at a loss.

He Yu pushed its paw, and the big cat obediently moved away. He Yu raised his head, facing the goose-feather snow and cold wind. His lips were soon frozen white, but he always kept his head raised.

"Ahhh!" the big cat was anxious.

He Yu finally lowered his head, his expression seemed to have calmed down, and he jumped onto the big cat, opened his arms, and rubbed his face against the familiar snow-white fur that had given him warmth in the ice and snow world these days.

His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was talking to himself, or to the audience -

"Since entering the sixth level, I have been thinking about the four words 'Ice and Snow Paradise'. The previous level was a fiery hell, hell is pain, is heaven happiness? What is the best way to pass this level?"

"The first time I fought against the ice beast, I knew it was impossible to beat it. How can I pass this level if I can't beat the ice beast?" "

Ice and Snow Paradise, heaven is happiness, make the ice beast happy, so tease it, dance for it, make delicious food, and then let it willingly... give its life."

"Is this the true meaning of this level? Is this the most perfect way to pass the level set by the system?"

It was a question, but the tone was certain.

There is more than one way to pass the level. You can work together to kill the ice beast, or you can use other methods to complete it.

But the most perfect one, the one that best fits the title of the level, is this one.

He Yu tilted his head, holding an ice flower in his hand.

——That was the one that the ice beast gave him. It chose the most beautiful one from the sea of ​​ice flowers.

He pressed the sharp stem of the ice flower against the ice beast's chest, tilted his head and looked into the ice beast's aquamarine eyes, exerting heavy force on his hands.

Doubt flashed in the ice beast's eyes, but it did not resist. It still looked down at him, as if it would not resist whatever he did.

He Yu closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and stabbed hard.

——The flower was inserted into its heart.

"Hu——"

The ice beast cried out in pain, its body twitched slightly, and it sat down with no strength after propping up its body. Its aquamarine eyes were filled with water, and it stared at He Yu closely.

He Yu closed his eyes, his face expressionless, the cold snow fell on his face, his eyelids trembled slightly.

The big cat raised its fluffy paws, one on He Yu's head to block the wind and snow for him, and the other on He Yu's back, gently patting him.

Familiar movements, familiar intimacy.

He Yu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ice beast.

"Woo~"

It made a soft sound, and in its moist aqua blue eyes, there was no pain, no anger, and no doubt, only an indissoluble, deep reluctance.

The wind and snow became smaller, and the clouds blocking the sky seemed to dissipate, and the bright moonlight appeared.

The ice beast turned into stars from its tail, and its pair of aqua-blue eyes kept looking at He Yu, with reluctance and longing filling these eyes.

The last thing that disappeared among the stars was its hand that had been shielding He Yu from the wind and snow.

——This is the tenderness of a big cat.

The melting dazzling starlight lingered around He Yu, gradually fading from bright to obvious.

He Yu subconsciously reached out to touch it, but caught nothing. The starlight completely disappeared, and there was no trace of the ice beast left.

The disappearance of the ice beast caused him to fall into the snow. He knelt on one knee, holding the ice flower stained with blood-red marks in his hand, and his body trembled slightly as if from the cold.

"Whoosh--"

All around, there was only the sound of the wind.

Snowflakes fell on He Yu's head and body.

The top of the ice and snow was unusually quiet. Except for the sound of the wind, there was no sound. Even the bullet screen was blank at this moment.

Footsteps were heard, and Zhenxing was approaching.

He Yu was not on guard, nor did she want to be on guard, so she kept this posture, motionless.

Zhenxing walked in front of her, squatted down, picked up the equipment dropped by the ice beast, and put it on He Yu. His voice was soft: "It's just an NPC set by the system, He Yu, don't be sad."

- The ice beast dropped a piece of clothing.

He Yu looked at the hem of the clothes hanging in front of her. The snow-white fur was thick and warm. This piece of clothing looked like the fur of the ice beast, and also like - a big cat.

He raised his hand, and his bony fingers carefully touched the hem of his clothes, and squeezed it, his voice calm: "I'm not sad. From approaching it, getting along with it, and keeping it company, it was all calculation."

- Calculating the life it gave willingly.

Zhen Xing's eyes were distressed, and he stopped talking, just looking at him worriedly.

He Yu raised his hand and calmly wiped off the cold snowflakes that fell on his face, then put his hand down and smiled.

He stood up holding the ice flower, facing the falling snowflakes, his lips turned red because of biting hard, and the other hand tightly grasped the clothes, revealing a brilliant smile, a devilish smile -

"How can I be sad? It won't do anything."

Everyone in this game is a chess piece.

He is a chess piece, Zhenxing is, Ling Buchen is, and so are beings like the Ice Beast.

Chess pieces have no freedom and no choice.

——But chess pieces can also have ideas, calculations, and refusal to accept their fate.

——He will eventually break the chess game and play a life-and-death game with the manipulator.

By then, life and death, all choices, will be in his own hands.
