Locke: Daily intelligence, I'm going crazy finding bargains!

On the stage, the snowman didn't waste any words, and with a wave of his arm, he launched the first attack.

"Sands, Feather Blade! Snow Doll, Surrounded by Mist!"

Banban flapped its wings and soared high. With a flap of its wings, several sharp feathers transformed into white blades, heading straight for Shui Lanlan.

At the same time, the snow doll spun in place, and a large amount of white mist poured out of its body, creating a large amount of white mist around it. The snow doll's figure disappeared into the mist in the blink of an eye.

The two sprites worked together perfectly, one attacking and the other providing cover.

Su Mumu lacked practical experience, and since she was commanding two Pokémon in battle at once, her reactions were somewhat slow.

Before she could even utter the command, Feather Blade was already in front of Shui Lanlan.

Whoosh...whoosh!

Several streaks of white light flashed across Shui Lanlan's body, causing it to stagger back two steps in pain, leaving several shallow wounds on its body.

"Shui Lanlan!" Su Mumu's voice was filled with panic.

Luo Xing stood on the sidelines, somewhat anxious, but did not offer any help. This was Su Mumu's battle; she needed to grow.

Golden Bean, standing nearby, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, muttering, "Sister Mu, why don't you give some instructions!"

The fog on the field grew thicker and thicker, and the snow doll completely disappeared. Su Mumu bit her lip, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.

"Spirit Fox, find it."

The fox's blue and red eyes lit up slightly; its elemental effect talent made it extremely sensitive to ice energy.

It quickly spotted the snowman hiding in the fog, who was condensing ice spikes in preparation for a sneak attack.

The spirit fox turned its head to look at Su Mumu and let out a low moan.

Su Mumu understood the spirit fox's meaning, and her eyes lit up.

"Shui Lanlan, defensive stance, stay put!"

Shui Lanlan immediately crouched down and conjured a water shield in front of her.

Banban swooped down from the sky again, unleashing a second wave of feather blades. This time, Su Mumu was prepared and gave the order in advance. The azure water shield steadily blocked the attack.

As the battle progressed, Su Mumu's rhythm became increasingly steady.

She began to anticipate Banban's attack route a beat in advance and directed Shui Lanlan to dodge or defend. Although the level difference was significant and Shui Lanlan couldn't launch an effective counterattack, at least she was no longer passively taking hits.

In the mist, the snowman finally moved.

The icicle took shape, shooting out of the mist towards the side of the water blue with a piercing whistling sound.

"Spirit Fox!"

Su Mumu only called out one name, and the spirit fox already understood.

Its mouth opened, and a ball of crimson flame condensed into the shape of a spear. The fiery spear descended from the sky, precisely piercing through layers of mist, and struck the snow doll on the head.

boom!

The mist evaporated due to the high temperature, and the snow doll's body flew out, crashing onto the edge of the arena. Its eyes swirled into mosquito coils, and it completely lost its ability to fight.

One-hit kill.

"Sister Mu is awesome!" Huang Jindou clapped and cheered from the sidelines.

The snowman fell over, but the freckles remained.

Without the cover of the fog, Banban flew higher and higher, circling above the arena. The spirit fox's Flame Spear and Frostfall could not reach that height, and all its attacks missed.

Banban opened its beak, ready to let out a call.

Luo Xing's brow twitched. The Cry was an area-of-effect skill; if successfully released, both the Spirit Fox and Shui Lanlan would be affected.

Su Mumu saw it too. Her gaze swept back and forth between the spirit fox and Shui Lanlan, her mind racing.

"Light Blue, defensive shield!"

Shui Lanlan was stunned for a moment, but still did as she was told. A light blue shield condensed in mid-air and tilted towards the sky.

"Spirit Fox, step on it!"

The fox pushed off with its hind legs and stepped onto the edge of the azure shield. The shield became a good stepping stone, and the fox used the momentum to leap up, heading straight for the height where Banban was.

Just as Banban's call was about to come out, she looked up and saw a fox flying up from below, exhaling icy blue breath.

"Spirit Fox, use Frostfall!"

Frost instantly covered Banban's wings, freezing his feathers stiff and making it impossible for him to flap them.

Banban's body began to fall.

"Azure Blue, a surprise attack!"

Shui Lanlan had already gathered her strength, and her body transformed into a beam of blue light, crashing into Banban, who was falling.

With a loud thud, Banban landed in the center of the arena, rolled his eyes, and didn't get up again.

The battle is over.

The arena began to melt, and Su Mumu and the two elves were sent back to the platform by a beam of light.

The snowman took a treasure chest out of his hat and handed it to Su Mumu.

"Congratulations, challenger!"

After saying that, the snowman's body scattered into snowflakes and disappeared into the air.

Su Mumu ran back carrying the treasure chest, her face still flushed with the excitement of the battle, and shoved the chest directly into Luo Xing's hands.

"You drive!"

"You should open it!" Luo Xing didn't take the box; he was already starting to doubt his luck.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mumu opened the box, and a bright red light shone out.

The light from inside the box made all three of their faces glow red.

Upon closer inspection, two items were found inside the box: a complete skill stone and a bottle of golden potion.

[Ice-type Skill Stone - Winter Solstice (Area Skill): Releases an ice and snow area around the player, reducing the speed of enemies within the area.]

[Sprite Quality Enhancement Potion: Can raise a Sprite of Rare or lower quality by one quality level.]

Su Mumu jumped up excitedly. Luo Xing looked down at the cocoa fruit she had opened earlier, and then at the ones opened by others. Suddenly, she felt a little choked up.

Su Mumu handed over the skill stone. "Here you go!"

"This isn't suitable for Meow Meow and Little Stone. Give it to Spirit Fox instead," Luo Xing said, shaking his head in refusal.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Golden Bean came over cheekily, teasingly saying, "Sister Mu! Sister Mu! My Snow Bean can use this skill stone too! Why didn't you ask me?"

"Go play somewhere else." Luo Xing gently kicked him.

"This is outrageous! We're on an adventure and we still have to eat dog food!" Golden Bean slunk back to the corner and squatted next to the little stone, drawing circles.

Su Mumu was still unaware of the potion's effects. Luo Xing planned to tell her when he returned that evening. While he was drifting through the air, he discovered the locations of three or four treasure chests nearby. Taking advantage of the remaining light, he prepared to go and find them.

"You guys set up camp here, I'm going to take a walk around."

Luo Xing left the small stone and supplies behind and set off alone with Miao Miao.

He walked for about ten minutes in the direction marked in his memory and found the first treasure chest at the base of an ice crystal tree.

It was that familiar white light again, and five ordinary cocoa beans.

Luo Xing expressionlessly put the fruit into her star chart and continued walking.

The second treasure chest was hidden behind an ice rock. He used a double jump to flip up and found that this skill was much more useful than he had imagined.

Green light, open the treasure chest.

Three intermediate cocoa fruits.

Luo Xing stared at the fruit in the box for three seconds, then threw the treasure chest on the ground.

"Grass."

After scolding him, he still put the fruit away; something was better than nothing.

The third treasure chest was further away. Luo Xing used double jump repeatedly and finally found it in an ice crevice.

This time, Luo Xing didn't open it directly. Instead, he muttered some incantations and bowed once before squatting down and opening the box.

Golden light, finally shipped!

A bottle of blue potion lay quietly in the box; it was the same magic-enhancing potion the old man had given him before, but this one was clearly of higher quality.

Luo Xing's hands were trembling as she held the bottle, her eyes filled with tears.

Finally got gold! My Luo Xing, it wasn't easy!

He put the potion into his astrolabe, stood up and stretched his wrists, feeling more confident, and walked toward the last marked point.

After walking for about five minutes, Luo Xing stopped under a large ice crystal tree.

There were footprints on the ground. He squatted down and looked at them carefully. There were three different kinds of shoe prints. They were very fresh, so someone must have been here. It seemed that they hadn't gone far.

Luo Xing followed the footprints and saw the treasure chest there.

It has been opened, and it is completely empty.

Luo Xing didn't rush back. He decided to investigate the situation. He summoned Miao Miao, and the two of them stealthily followed the footprints.

"Let's follow them and see."
