Chapter 315 Mighty Thousand-Ice Cocatrix vs Ling Longs Calamity Roar! (Last)
Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, Hu Chen, Yue Kai, and Xiao Luo did not even dare to breathe too much, controlling their breath carefully for fear of waking the beast that was sleeping deeply on the frozen ice covered by a layer of snow. Even though the beast was about three hundred meters away and the only reason they managed to see it was because of its enormous size, they were worried that if due to a small mistake that terrifying beast woke up, none of them could escape from death.
Unconsciously, everyone’s eyes were directed towards Xie Feng. Clearly they were all waiting for his next move to know what to do.
Xie Feng’s face was extremely ugly under his mask. To say that he was surprised by the terrifying stats and skills of the distant beast was an understatement by a wide margin!
Several days ago, he had met an Immortal grade beast for the first time, this beast was, of course, the Poisonous Commodus Dragon.
The Poisonous Commodus Dragon was an Immortal grade level thirty beast that, appearing before the players unprepared to face such a monster, completely terrified them. When the five-meter tall beast first appeared on the Chinese server, it undoubtedly demonstrated its power as an Immortal grade beast; showing everyone the reason why immortal or higher-ranked beasts should not be provoked under any circumstances.
With 2,000,000 health points and high defense, the Poisonous Commodus Dragon had become a nightmare from which no one could wake up. The players attacked it relentlessly and threw their lives away without worrying about the consequences, but even then even with the union of more than a million of them, they could not threaten the life of the beast... Its terrifying skills shook the earth and a simple stomp or swing of its tail was enough to claim the lives of tens or even hundreds of players per second.
At that time, to defeat it, the most powerful players from all over the Chinese server had united and only after using their most powerful skills and a great stroke of luck did they finally manage to defeat the Immortal beast... But now, in front of Xie Feng’s astonished eyes, there was a beast much scarier than the Poisonous Commodus Dragon!
The Thousand-Ice Cocatrix was an Immortal grade beast level 26, four levels lower than the Poisonous Commodus Dragon. Such a four level difference, coupled with the fact that the Poisonous Commodus Dragon was a quasi-dragon, should mean a health difference in favor of the Poisonous Commodus Dragon; however, the reality was far from hypothetical! Not only did the Thousand-Ice Cocatrix not have less HP than the Poisonous Commodus Dragon, it actually had twice as much HP!
4,000,000 health points!
At that time, Xie Feng’s most powerful attack, Consecutive Light Strikes had caused a total physical damage close to two million points; but this was only possible with Xie Feng activating ALL of his most powerful skills! That powerful attack had been born thanks to the union of Consecutive Light Strikes + Black Smile + Gale Track, and of course, thanks to Kali, Yao Mei, and thousands of players sacrificing their lives to buy Xie Feng precious time needed to charge Gale Track to 100%... But things were very different right now.
Not only were there no monsters in the vicinity for Xie Feng to use Gale Track, but he was also not being supported by Kali’s control skills, nor by the agile and powerful Yao Mei... Xie Yao’s healing was of little value against a beast of such a rank, Hu Chen’s attacks and the rest would be considered powerful by players with normal equipment, but in this case they were of no use at all... Even ten thousand points of damage was nothing compared to the terrifying amount of health of the Thousand-Ice Cocatrix.
The only person who could help him for a few seconds was Gu Qianxue. With her skill Seductive Eyes, she could hold back the Thousand-Ice Cocatrix’s movements for a few seconds, but due to the big range difference, it was unlikely to work. Besides, Xie Feng did not want Xie Yao, who finally stopped considering herself a burden to him, to feel bad.
In short, he was alone facing such a powerful beast, much more powerful than the one he faced in the past with the help of elite players.
The beast’s skills were another big headache for Xie Feng... The cruel reality was that the current him could not survive even a single attack from the Thousand-Ice Cocatrix. Hail Meteor and Thousand-Ice Cocatrix’s Sigh were AoE skills, so he could not rely on his reflexes and reaction speed to evade them easily... Maybe, with effort, he could bypass the range affected by Hail Meteor, but he definitely couldn’t evade Thousand-Ice Cocatrix’s Sigh.
The beast before his eyes not only possessed powerful skills capable of killing him several times, but also possessed two terrifying skills to freeze its enemy... The only fortune was that Xie Feng could resist such effects thanks to the passive skill Spiritual Protection of the Pearl of Light, otherwise it would definitely be better for him to go to sleep at home.
As if all of the above wasn’t enough, the beast even had the skill to reflect the damage of the attacks it received! This meant that even if Xie Feng used Consecutive Light Strikes, the Thousand-Ice Cocatrix could reflect back all the damage without suffering in the slightest!
However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to try... Even if the risk was to return to level 0. Because right in front of his eyes was the Pearl of Frozen Water, one of the seven legendary pearls!
After a month, without knowing anything about the whereabouts of these items, another legendary pearl finally appeared in his path! How could Xie Feng, who knew very well that these pearls were somehow necessary to increase his actual strength, therefore it was absolutely impossible for him to retreat now!
"I only have one chance."
After nearly ten minutes of silence and carefully thinking of the most viable plan, Xie Feng finally broke out in a serious voice.
Hearing his words, everyone was shocked beyond belief. He still had a chance to defeat that monster!
"You... Are you sure you’re not crazy?" Hu Chen couldn’t help but ask with wide eyes. He also knew that the current situation was very different from the time Xie Feng defeated the Poisonous Commodus Dragon!
However, Xie Feng shook his head and while looking at the distant beast said in a serious voice, "If it was before I defeated the Poisonous Commodus Dragon, it would be impossible for me to defeat this Immortal beast.... But now I have a small chance.... Very small."
Forget that Xie Feng was unwilling to retreat due to the importance of the Pearl of Frozen Water, even if he wanted to retreat it wasn’t that simple since the exit was beyond the territory that the Thousand-Ice Cocatrix was currently protecting. There was simply no way to retreat unless they were willing to surrender with the mission in progress.
"Ling Long!"
With a low shout, Xie Feng called out to Ling Long for the first time since entering this ice and snow dungeon.
Swoosh!
Ling Long manifested before him in a flash of white light after leaving the pet space. However, the little dragoness shivered fiercely at the terrifying weather. Her eyes widened and she looked at Xie Feng as if asking for his help.
"I’m sorry, my dear Ling Long... But I need your help... Just for a few seconds." Xie Feng bent down and hugged the little pet tightly. Although Ling Long was not losing health, he knew that she was definitely suffering a lot.
Finally hearing that her master needed her help, Ling Long fought against the cold and nodded vigorously. This only made Xie Feng feel even more guilty, but he really had no choice...
"Accelerated Growth!" Xie Feng instructed in a deep voice after freeing Ling Long from his embrace.
Ling Long moved several meters away and soon her body began to emit a brilliant light. Her size began to increase exponentially.
1 meter.
5 meters.
10 meters.
Ling Long finally stopped growing when her body transformed into a 15-meter colossus! The mouths of Xie Yao and the rest opened wide. Eyes wide open, their bodies shuddered at the terrifying beast just a few meters away.
Unlike the Thousand-Ice Cocatrix in the distance, Ling Long was very close, so Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and the others could not see exactly how big Ling Long was! The cute and cuddly dragon had transformed into a terrifying dragon of western legends in a matter of seconds! Her black scales shone even brighter than the purest ice and terrifying blood-red lines covered a great part of her body, giving Ling Long a majestic appearance, capable of terrifying her enemies just by looking at her!
Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue were a little better because they had spent a lot of time together with Ling Long. But Hu Chen and the other two’s faces turned white as a sheet and they unconsciously took a step back.
Such a reaction was natural! Only by putting yourself in their shoes could you understand how terrifying it was to face a dragon fifteen meters tall and who knows how many meters long!
At the same time that his pet was growing in size, Xie Feng received a notification... This was the real reason why he needed Ling Long’s help.
[Ding!... Your pet Ling Long has grown to her current maximum. In this condition, Ling Long can use her exclusive skill; Calamity Roar.]
A powerful skill capable of countering the skills of the Thousand-Ice Cocatrix.
