The Ice Marrow Beetles were not fast enough to evade the slime's charge.
Blue light appeared in their mouths, and ice balls gradually condensed.
Compared to the ice balls of the Ice Field Rabbits, the Ice Marrow Beetles' skills were clearly more powerful, as the icy environment provided a boost.
Bang bang bang!
The ice balls struck, shattering instantly. Blue frost spread, slowing the slime's advance.
In an instant, golden light shimmered on the slime's body, making it appear incredibly sacred.
The Invincible Body skill was activated, instantly dispelling the slowing effect.
Thanks to its formidable defense, the damage from the ice balls was also almost entirely negated.
Boom!
The slime sent several Ice Marrow Beetles flying, like bowling pins.
"Old Xie, keep an eye on the surrounding fierce beasts! Xiao Xing, be ready to take off if there's any danger!"
Chen Shu reminded them, fully focused on controlling the slime in battle.
The slime seemed to be a wolf among sheep. Although its level was similar to that of the fierce beasts, its strength was on a completely different plane.
The slime dozed soundly, its thunderous snores echoing,
but its body charged back and forth, crushing everything, making the ground tremble slightly.
"Die, all of you!"
Chen Shu grinned, not expecting the slime to be so powerful.
When the Charge skill's effect ended, the slime stopped in place, motionless.
The Ice Marrow Beetles thought their chance for a counterattack had arrived, and they swarmed forward, their sharp teeth beginning to gnaw.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out. The Ice Marrow Beetles' sharp teeth instantly shattered, leaving them bewildered.
"What in the world is this thing?"
The slime dozed, and once its Charge skill cooled down, it once again transformed into a mighty missile!
The Ice Marrow Beetles panicked instantly, emitting sharp screeches.
"Scream! The louder you scream, the more excited I get!"
Chen Shu wore a wicked grin. Xie Sunan and Xu Xingxing looked at him with strange expressions.
"Has he finally let loose?"
The Ice Marrow Beetles realized the enemy was insurmountable and fled into the distance.
Whoosh!
The slime, still dozing, pursued the fleeing beasts relentlessly.
Chen Shu took out a small shovel from his backpack and harvested the Ice Snow Lotus.
This was the main ingredient for configuring ice-attribute potions.
Just then, Xie Sunan's expression tensed, and he said, "Chen Shu, there are people behind us!"
A few hundred meters away, Tang Lie's team was hidden, stealthily approaching. They had spotted Chen Shu's slime from afar.
"Get on the bird first!"
Chen Shu and the other two immediately stepped onto the back of the mutated Thunder Bird.
Almost simultaneously, a massive tail swept through the air, and the mutated Thunder Bird narrowly dodged it.
"So fast?"
Tang Lie was slightly taken aback, unaware that they had already been discovered by Xie Sunan.
"Young Master Tang, you're actually ambushing us!"
Chen Shu grinned, not expecting Tang Lie to be so cunning.
According to the competition rules, if a life-or-death crisis occurred, a Black Iron rank Beast Tamer would intervene to rescue them, and they would be eliminated.
A life-or-death crisis didn't just refer to fierce beasts; even teams were in competition!
"Hmph! Your sense of crisis is quite good. You won't be so lucky next time!"
Tang Lie thought to himself with regret, but he wasn't afraid of Chen Shu.
They were three people, while Chen Shu was the only one with combat capability.
As long as they could stall the slime temporarily, the Gale Beast could directly attack the three of them. Gale Bind was specifically designed to counter the mutated Thunder Bird.
"I'm afraid there won't be a next time!"
Chen Shu's eyes darted, and he then grinned, "I'll give you, Young Master Tang, an avalanche to spice things up!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The slime abandoned its pursuit of the Ice Marrow Beetles and began to charge the nearby mountain wall with all its might.
The accumulated snow on the mountain wall trembled, as if it were about to slide off.
"What the heck! You bastard!"
Tang Lie and the other two jolted and immediately ran in another direction.
A moment later, the snow on the mountain peak began to slide, accelerating rapidly, pulling in the surrounding snow and spreading to several nearby peaks.
An avalanche actually occurred!
Rumble!
The terrifying sound of collapse echoed, and even Chen Shu's body shook. He quickly recalled the slime.
It seemed as if only the roaring thunder filled the world, as more and more snow dislodged and began to slide down.
Chen Shu hadn't expected to cause such a massive commotion.
In reality, a major avalanche occurred in the Frost Canyon every few years.
Now that the time was approaching, Chen Shu had merely brought it forward slightly.
"Damn it, I knew this guy wouldn't do anything good!"
High in the sky, Shen Wushuang stood atop a powerful Ice Phoenix, looking down at the avalanche below.
The black and white giant python was merely a defensive contracted spirit; his true combat power came from his first contracted spirit: the S-class Ice Phoenix!
"Looks like someone else will be eliminated!"
Shen Wushuang merely watched from above, remaining impassive. His duty was to protect the safety of Chen Shu and his companions.
However, as the instigator, how could he possibly be in danger?
The Thunder Bird's speed was astonishing, carrying the three of them away from the chaos below.
Wang Yun looked panicked and said, "Holy crap! What does Young Master Tang say?"
"What do I say? I'll say it with my mouth, damn it!"
Tang Lie was also panicking, shouting, "Help!"
His Gale Beast was different from the mutated Thunder Bird; it couldn't carry three people. If even one person was eliminated, the entire team was finished.
In the distance, a beast taming team of six was present.
A middle-aged man cursed, "Damn it! Today is definitely not the time for an avalanche. Which jinx caused it to happen early?"
"Quick, find cave entrances in the mountain walls!"
The beast taming team immediately sprang into action. The mountain walls of the Frost Canyon were riddled with countless caves, most of which were inhabited by fierce beasts.
As long as they could hide inside before the avalanche hit, they would be safe.
With the powerful force of their contracted spirits, they could easily break through the snow afterward.
However, if they couldn't find a cave, it would be difficult.
The force of the avalanche would sweep ordinary people along. The unlucky would die on the spot, while the fortunate would fall unconscious and be unable to summon their contracted spirits.
Beast taming teams that frequently adventured in the Frost Canyon were very experienced and quickly found nearby mountain caves.
However, the students from the special training class did not know how to handle the situation.
Gazing at the terrifying avalanche, Young Master Tang could only utter, "Kiss your mother!"
The鎮靈軍 (Town Spirit Army) that had been following the three of them intervened and rescued them.
In addition to Tang Lie's team, three other teams were also eliminated.
Chen Shu's single avalanche directly eliminated half the participants.
The three of them arrived at a safe location.
"Achoo!"
Chen Shu sneezed uncontrollably and said, "Damn it, am I that weak now?"
The roaring sound of the avalanche still echoed in Xie Sunan's ears.
He whispered, "I think too many people are cursing you!"
Xu Xingxing nodded in agreement.
Chen Shu also hadn't expected such a large-scale event to occur, saying, "The snow is the one at fault, not me!"
