Chapter 1279: Explosive Kill and Failed Attempts

Chapter 1279: Chapter 628: Explosive Kill and Failed Attempts

The four-person adventurer team in the arena is nearly annihilated, but due to their average Professional Level not being low, they are all Senior Adventurers.

Facing the Challenge Level 5 Layered Armor Elephant, they aren’t completely without the ability to resist, especially when trapped in a life-or-death situation.

Now, the only one left breathing on the field is the Bald Ranger, and the Layered Armor Elephant that annihilated the team also sustained considerable injuries from the adventurers’ dying counterattack.

A wooden arrow is mostly embedded in its left eye, with only the blood-stained tail feather protruding from the socket;

The thick leather armor on the right shoulder is segmented in an “X” shape, exposing the underneath pink, bloody flesh;

A fist-sized blood hole remains at the back of the neck with unknown depth, from which crimson blood gushes uncontrollably.

Even if not grievously wounded, the damage it suffered is certainly not minor.

This, in turn, fully provoked the fierce nature buried deep in the bloodline of this Demon, whose temperament should have been gentle.

Upon spotting Xia Nan’s figure at the edge of the field, it immediately categorized him as an enemy.

Roaring, it charged towards him.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The exaggerated weight from its enormous size caused each step of the four-legged Layered Armor Elephant to make the ground tremble slightly like an earthquake.

Impressive presence, and not slow in speed.

To be honest, if truly eager to evade and escape the battlefield.

With Xia Nan’s current speed using [Teeth Hunting], it would be easy even in the uneven and wooded terrain.

The size of Winter Wolf Fenney beside him isn’t large, at most during the performance of Battle Skill, it could be clasped in the arms or carried on the shoulder, causing little interference.

But…

Currently, Xia Nan’s dilemma lies in creating a special Battle Skill suited to himself.

He has given it careful consideration for days, forming some threads of thought.

Yet it still proves difficult to materialize, to extend the idea further.

He has complete and clear understanding of his current strengths and weaknesses.

Due to his professional direction and adventuring circumstances, he isn’t prominent in Intelligence Attributes, merely ordinary.

But at the same time, his Perception Attributes can already compare with some weaker Transcendent existences.

He is entirely an instinctual being.

Based on this premise, expecting him to self-develop Battle Skill just by quietly sitting there thinking would have nearly no chance of success.

But combining practice, experiencing his own shortcomings in real battle, seeking the idea sparks hidden within each move, fully utilizing his Perception Attributes’ advantages.

Perhaps then there might indeed be a way.

Now in front, this Layered Armor Elephant, originally a Challenge Level 5 at peak power and currently suffering not minor wounds, is the perfect test subject with sufficient strength but not overly dangerous.

A brief thought flickers through his mind.

Xia Nan’s pitch-black eyes instantly clear, he has resolved to face the challenge.

Beside him, Winter Wolf Fenney distinguishes by its earlier enthusiasm and liveliness; detecting the enemy’s presence, it returns to an ice-cold and solemn state.

It possesses considerable discipline and hunting experience.

Even encountering the massive creature charging towards their location, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The Wolf Eyes remain devoid of any fear or haste.

It entrusts all trust to Xia Nan.

Not dodging aside nor recklessly charging ahead.

Simply crouching, staying prepared to exert force anytime, quietly and patiently waiting by Xia Nan’s side.

“Fanny, get ready.”

“Woo-hoo!”

Despite lacking much combat experience together, this human and wolf at the moment exhibit an inexplicable tacit understanding.

Oo—

The mysterious pitch-black Black Wolf’s phantom forms instantly amidst raging winds; the ice White Winter Wolf first, before [Teeth Hunting] bursts forth, turns into fleeting white light within the woodland, charging straight towards the approaching Layered Armor Elephant.

The Challenge Level for an adult ordinary Winter Wolf is around Level 3.

Fanny was born less than two years ago, though it develops faster than usual, a complete maturity still lies ahead.

Nevertheless, due to being reborn by Frogon’s Wolf Spirit, regardless of the purity of blood or actual combat prowess, it surpasses ordinary Winter Wolves significantly, presently achieving the Level 3 ceiling among ordinary peers in Challenge Level.

Faced with the massive creature in full charge before them, this elegant Winter Wolf demonstrates its remarkable combat strength while fully exemplifying its outstanding battle wisdom.

The ice-white phantom shoots forward, appearing fast, nearly sketched a straight line across the grass.

But its actual direction doesn’t collide head-on with the enemy; it shifts slightly outwards by a few degrees.

Thus when the wolf body leaps, landing on the Layered Armor Elephant’s side, dodging much of the force from the impact.

“Shhh!”

The sharp cold-light-emitting wolf claws pierce into the thick leather hide of the Layered Armor Elephant.

Failing to immediately break the defense, it allows Fanny’s wolf body to cling tightly onto the elephant’s body.

“Buzz…”

Between the opening and closing Wolf Mouth, ice-blue brilliance flickers at its throat.

In the air, the Magic Particles undulating disruptively.

Instantly completes the power charge, and finally transforms into icy light emitting chilling cold from the Wolf Mouth, landing at the center of the “X” shaped wound on the right shoulder left by the previous adventurers on the Layered Armor Elephant.
