Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's youthful innocence, I tricked her into becoming my wife

But before she could finish speaking, Via grabbed Oscar's shoulder.

Oscar turned his head and frowned. "You're joining in the fun too?"

“That’s right,” Via said, hands on her hips, “If I don’t keep an eye on you, you’ll definitely act impulsively!”

"Last time you got lost in the snowstorm, if it weren't for the help of the local authorities, you would have been lying dead in a snow pit!"

Shuiyue'er also raised her hand, "Then I'll go too! If you go, I'll go!"

Shui Bing'er raised her hand to tap her, but thinking of her sister's clinginess, she knew she couldn't stop her.

Ye Hua shook his head slightly as they left.

He instructed Tie Xiong to arrange for people to keep a close watch on the situation.

Via was afraid that Oscar would get angry and she wouldn't be able to pull him away, so she called on Hot and his Soul Hunting Team.

The night was thick, and the edges of the pit looked even more menacing than during the day.

When Oscar and his companions arrived, the ice bear on watch growled at them to confirm their identities before lying back down in the snow.

Under the moonlight, the pit was bottomless, like a hole that had been gouged out of the earth.

Oscar crouched at the edge, brushing away the snow with his gloves to reveal the gray rock beneath.

He bent down to examine it closely, his gaze slowly moving down the pit wall.

“Look here.”

Shui Bing'er came over and looked in the direction he pointed.

The pit walls were not smooth, but covered with jagged, protruding rock edges.

The path is staggered and continuous, with a foothold every few feet.

"The infected soul beasts probably climbed up from there!"

Shui Bing'er's expression hardened slightly. "That's right. If they force their way up, we'll be under a lot of pressure defending!"

Oscar nodded, took out paper and pen, and quickly sketched.

"I marked several areas with dense protrusions and handed them over to Teacher Ye so that we could add more manpower to the corresponding locations."

Via used a rope to hang a torch to light his way. Although the light was extremely dim, fortunately, Soul Masters have eyesight that is different from ordinary people.

Shuiyue'er, on the other hand, squatted curiously not far away, looking at the pale purple crystals.

"It's so beautiful, and it even glows!"

"Moon," Shui Bing'er pulled her younger sister back, "Don't touch it, who knows what it is!"

"Oh." Shuiyue'er nodded obediently.

But at that moment, Shui Bing'er noticed that powder was floating off the surface of the crystal.

Fluorescent blue powder swirled and scattered in the night, drifting gently onto the snow like scattered stardust.

"Wow!" Shuiyue'er's eyes lit up. "Sister, look! So beautiful!"

Shui Bing'er frowned, staring intently at the powder. "Back off!"

She always had a gut feeling that this powder was tainted!

Shuiyue'er was startled by her sister's shout.

The tiny specks of snow floated slowly on the ground.

As if they were alive, they hovered and swirled in the air.

Shui Bing'er cautiously probed with her soul power.

But as soon as the powder was touched, it disappeared without a trace, failing to elicit any reaction.

Via, who was watching from the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister Bing'er, you're too nervous."

"It's probably just dust from the weathering of ore, nothing serious."

Is it really nothing...?

Shui Bing'er was suspicious.

But with the exploration mission completed and dawn breaking, it was indeed time to return.

“Phew,” Shui Bing’er exhaled a puff of white air, “Perhaps I was just overthinking it.”

“That’s right,” the Soul Hunters chuckled. “Girl, you’re just too sensitive.”

"If there's something wrong with this crystal, why didn't it malfunction during the fierce battle in the daytime?"

"Now that the defenses are in place and the troops are resting, even if he causes trouble again, there will be people to watch out for him!"

“That’s true.” Shui Bing’er’s brows relaxed.

She shook her head, turned around, and returned with the main force.

But before they had taken two steps, the fluorescent powder that had been slowly dissipating suddenly increased dramatically!

Large swaths of fluorescent blue light burst forth from the crystal surface, stretching for tens of feet!

"retreat!!!"

Haote was the strongest and reacted the fastest. He pulled the last few people over, and the powder just covered them.

"Everyone be careful!" Oscar grabbed his Three-Eyed Ice and Fire Gun and fired!

Boom!

"what!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream emanated from the powder, sending chills down one's spine!

Shui Bing'er's pupils trembled. She grabbed Shui Yue'er by the back of her collar and suddenly fell to the side!

The two rolled out onto the snow, kicking up a cloud of snow.

Almost the instant they left, a dark shadow descended from the sky!

The blood-stained hammer slammed down on the spot where they stood, scattering gravel and frozen earth everywhere!

Haote immediately retaliated, and almost at the same time the shadow landed, his martial spirit had already possessed him.

His right fist transformed into a bear's paw, slapping fiercely at the dark figure!

"what!"

when!

A hammer clashed with a bear's paw!

Hao Te's wrist suddenly went numb!

Instead of retreating, he advanced, his left palm striking out and smashing the dark figure to the ground.

"Ugh!!!" The dark figure slumped into the snow with a muffled thud, finally revealing its true form.

His body was wrapped in grayish-white bandages, and charred burns were visible underneath.

Their faces were blurred, only two dark green slits in their eye sockets stared coldly at them.

Before Xing Shuawen Ni@middle could recover from the shock, the fluorescent powder flying everywhere suddenly became bright!

The light was so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes!

Immediately afterwards, countless identical figures emerged from the light and mist beside the crystal cluster!

"Teleport!" Oscar's expression changed drastically, the Three-Eyed Icefire Gun already in his hand. "These powders are the teleportation medium!"

Before the words were even finished, the monsters all turned towards them.

A quick scan revealed no fewer than forty!

Shui Bing'er shielded her younger sister behind her, and her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul had already appeared.

But she sensed a fluctuation in the air, and her heart sank.

The aura of these monsters is no weaker than that of a Soul Emperor!

Haote stepped forward, crossing his fists in front of him to block.

"Go back and report this; I'll hold them off here."

"Uncle, you can't stop him all by yourself!" Via said anxiously.

Ants can kill elephants, let alone these creatures whose origins are unknown, which is very strange!

"Via, you go first!"

"Moon, go and deliver the message!"

Oscar and Shui Bing'er spoke in unison.

Seeing that the two were determined, Via and Shuiyue had no choice but to go ahead and deliver the message.

The others, including members of the Soul Hunting Gang, stood in front, blocking the monster's path.

"Hiss!" A strange roar came from the monster's throat.

Caught off guard, the fish was about to strike.

To their surprise, the monster seemed to know they were not to be trifled with, and simply stood there hissing.

Just as Haote was wondering what was going on, Shui Bing'er noticed something.

"They're dragging the sunrise!"

"Take the initiative! Don't give them time!"

Other positions also experienced similar situations to varying degrees.

Even though there was still half an hour until sunrise, a strange blood-red sun rose in the east!

A bad feeling welled up in Shui Bing'er's heart!

The next second—

Snap!

The pale purple crystal is completely shattered!

It turned into a sky full of purple powder!

Countless monsters bypassed the traps laid by the allied forces in the pits and cliffs last night, appearing directly before them without having to climb!

"Oh no!" Haote exclaimed in alarm!

Chapter 279 Shui Bing'er has a snow owl! Ice Phoenix saves the day!

The group of giant hammer monsters emerged from the dust, their heavy iron hammers dragging across the snow, carving deep furrows.

Their steps were heavy, like manipulated puppets, their eerie green eye sockets fixed on the living people present!

"Form ranks!" Haote roared, and the members of the Soul Hunting Group quickly dispersed.

These hunters, who make a living in the far north forests year-round, may not be as well-trained as regular soldiers, but their teamwork is just as good.

The three of them stood back to back, unleashing their soul skills and smashing them towards the charging monster!

The iron hammer clashed with the martial spirit, sparks flew everywhere, and more than a dozen battle groups instantly exploded on the snow!

However, the number of monsters far exceeded expectations.

Despite the Soul Hunters' desperate attempts to intercept them, large groups of monsters still bypassed them and pounced on Shui Bing'er and Oscar!

"Scatter!" Shui Bing'er made a quick decision and slid to the side.

Oscar also rolled in the opposite direction.

The two of them were more than ten meters apart on the snow!

The giant hammer monster was distracted and its forces split up to give chase!

Oscar stepped back while picking up the Three-Eyed Ice and Fire Gun.

The gun muzzle flashed repeatedly, but the aim was perfect, and the gun hit its mark one after another.

But the monster only staggered twice before charging forward again, dragging the hammer along!
