Chapter 159: Endless Ice Seal
Chapter 159: Endless Ice Seal
When dealing with Pig Beasts, he could ignore their attacks. By using Form Skills on himself, his defense was strong enough to block them. The scales on his body could almost certainly withstand the Form Skills of Fierce Beasts below the Fourth Stage without any damage. He had not tried it with a Level Five Fierce Beast, but shattering his scales a little bit would not be a problem for them.
Calculating this way, the Form Skill of a Level Six Fierce Beast was enough to kill him, not to mention this Level Six King-level Bullhorn Fish right in front of him.
Using the method he used against the Pig Beasts was already impossible. More importantly, the time left for Zhou Liming was not enough for him to find a countermeasure. The Bullhorn Fish was less than fifty meters away from Zhou Liming. Its eyes, originally full of curiosity, began to change, becoming wary, and finally revealed the nature of a King.
Having witnessed the terror of the Flame Bird, Zhou Liming’s alertness had long been raised to the maximum. Seeing the change in the Bullhorn Fish, Zhou Liming flapped his wings immediately. Then, with a conversion of power ful force, the erupting energy made Zhou Liming perform a teleportation movement. In the blink of an eye, he was already a hundred meters away.
With a “Lee” sound, countless water ripples appeared out of thin air, surrounding the Bullhorn Fish.
The water ripples rotated like a galaxy, spreading out wave by wave, spanning nearly a hundred meters. A suffocating cold rushed towards him. Within a range of over a hundred meters centered on the Bullhorn Fish, anything that touched these water ripples turned into an ice sculpture. Even the mountain ridges and soil were frozen solid.
The Bullhorn Fish was flying at low altitude, only twenty or thirty meters from the ground. The suddenly erupting water ripples rotated with it as the center point.
The plants in the fields, under the absolute temperature, turned into ice-sculpture-like plants within 0.1 seconds, and then with a “crack” sound, turned into countless ice fragments. Small pools of water in the fields became ice mirrors in the blink of an eye. Under the terrifying water ripples, anything they touched was frozen. Even the air was solidifying, turning into countless ice particles.
The cold air rushing towards him seemed to swallow the earth, spreading constantly. The ground was freezing rapidly, forming an icy area hundreds of meters in size in the blink of an eye.
It was hard to imagine that the cold air emitted just by the water ripples could freeze the earth. Then, how low was the temperature inside the water ripples? At least Zhou Liming did not know, but it would definitely be a forbidden zone of life for any object. And the master creating all this was this seemingly cute and beautiful Bullhorn Fish right in front of him. Before it released its innate ability, who could have imagined its terror?
The ultra-high temperature flames of the Flame Bird could be felt even across a city, capable of burning everything. At that time, the building it stood on turned into countless powders under the absolute high temperature and vanished into thin air.
He did not have an intuitive understanding back then, until now, when Zhou Liming watched the Bullhorn Fish’s innate ability at such a close distance. He finally understood the power of this kind of innate ability. Under this temperature, let alone ordinary people, even he himself, as long as he was swept into the water ripple zone, would definitely become an ice sculpture, then shatter and turn into ice dregs.
Innate ability and Form Skill were two different existences.
Zhou Liming’s alert teleportation just now, although only a hundred meters, allowed him to escape a disaster. The oncoming cold air left layers of ice dregs on the surface of his skin. For Zhou Liming, it was just a shiver, not a big deal. But even so, it was enough to scare Zhou Liming into a cold sweat. You had to know, this was only the cold air.
The Bullhorn Fish, having revealed its innate ability, did not give Zhou Liming a single chance to breathe. With another “Lee” sound, a stream of air sprayed from its round mouth, rushing towards Zhou Liming. This stream of air, after being chilled by the water ripples, left frozen traces in the air all along its path.
“Oh my god…”
Zhou Liming now wished the Fierce Beast Gene would give him two more pairs of wings so he could escape faster. This damn Form Skill was even stronger than the innate ability. Looking at this air current rushing over like a sharp arrow, the places it passed were all frozen into ice mist. Was that something a human could touch?
Now, Zhou Liming no longer had any thoughts of taming it.
Not knowing earlier was fine; he was arrogant and thought this King-level Fierce Beast was no big deal. More importantly, the cute and beautiful appearance of this Bullhorn Fish successfully deceived Zhou Liming’s eyes. In his opinion, no matter how powerful, how powerful could it be? At most, it was just a bit stronger than the Giant Worm Beast.
But now Zhou Liming found that he was ridiculously wrong. This was simply a boss among Level Six Fierce Beasts. Although it was impossible to judge the terror of the Seventh Level Fierce Beast, these boss-type Fierce Beasts were at least comparable to ordinary Fierce Beasts of the Seventh Level, or even stronger.
Now Zhou Liming had only one thought, which was to escape.
From the moment the Bullhorn Fish unleashed its Form Skill, Zhou Liming first performed a Flash Shift, opening up the distance by another hundred meters. Then, the frequency of his wing flapping suddenly increased, and he shot up into the sky like a Fighter Jet.
The Bullhorn Fish had already targeted Zhou Liming. Amidst the “Lee” sounds it made, its tail instantly accelerated to a terrifying level. Then, powerful propulsion pushed its body of over ten meters, suddenly moving like a high-speed rocket, chasing in the direction Zhou Liming was escaping. Its speed climbed to over two thousand kilometers per hour in just a short dozen seconds.
Zhou Liming’s estimate was correct; the Bullhorn Fish’s speed was definitely not inferior to his own.
In just two or three short minutes, Zhou Liming, who had escaped first, already sensed that the galaxy-like water ripples behind him were approaching him at high speed. At the center of the water ripples was the pale yellow Bullhorn Fish. It kept making “Lee” “Lee” “Lee” sounds, and from time to time, it would spray a stream of air, bombarding towards Zhou Liming in front.
“Damn it!” Zhou Liming could only make a sudden turn, using this method to dodge the ice arrows attacking from behind. This thing was not to be touched.
Often, after Zhou Liming dodged, the ice arrows would hit the ground or into mountain peaks after losing their target. One only had to see that once an ice arrow sank into a mountain peak, the entire peak would turn into an iceberg in the blink of an eye. The plants on it were all frozen, forming a sculpture-like peak.
Seeing that his speed could not match the Bullhorn Fish, Zhou Liming could only roar in his heart. Scales appeared one by one, his tail tore through his pants with a “tear” sound, and his hands and feet became thick. He instantly completed the Fierce Beast Form transformation.
Having completely entered the Fierce Beast Form, Zhou Liming’s ability could finally be utilized one hundred percent. His wings were strong and powerful, and the frequency more than doubled. The terrifying flying speed, under the release of one hundred percent ability, finally broke through the speed of over two thousand kilometers per hour, streaking across the sky like a meteor.
Zhou Liming’s right arm, in a mechanical-like transformation, turned into the form of a machine gun.
“Countrymen all believe in reciprocity, here, give it back to you.”
Along with Zhou Liming’s low roar, his arm simulating a Rotary Machine Gun swung backwards, aiming at the Bullhorn Fish. The Death Light was like a spitting tongue of fire. Strands of tiny Death Light appeared, forming a starry brilliance, pouncing towards the Bullhorn Fish chasing from behind.
With a “Lee” sound, the Bullhorn Fish had already sensed the moment Zhou Liming transformed that the opponent was also a very dangerous rival. Seeing these spitting Death Lights, it made agile dodging movements during high-speed flight. Surprisingly, it maintained a super high flight speed while passing through these dense Death Lights.
Although the Death Light was tiny, its frequency was fast. Zhou Liming could not fire indefinitely, so he had to stop after just a few bursts like point-shooting.
But what Zhou Liming did not expect was that the dodging of this Bullhorn Fish made him stare with an open mouth. You had to know, the Fierce Beasts he dealt with before were all like idiots, standing still to be beaten. But the appearance of the Bullhorn Fish suddenly made him understand that Fierce Beasts of a certain level started to possess a certain amount of intelligence and were no longer like wood.
“Damn it!”
Cursing fiercely again, Zhou Liming let his arm recover. He immediately gave up the idea of counterattacking and then focused on flying. It was still better to escape. Zhou Liming originally thought he was abnormal enough, but he did not expect this King-level Fierce Beast to be even more abnormal. They had completely overturned human understanding of biology.
Thinking of the humans now, perhaps they still did not know the terror of Level Six Fierce Beasts, nor did they know how terrifying the bosses among Level Six Fierce Beasts were.
Electromagnetic Cannon?
Perhaps dealing with Level Six Fierce Beasts was no problem, but who dared to guarantee it could deal with these bosses among Level Six Fierce Beasts? Even if this could be killed. Then what about the soon-to-appear Level Seven Fierce Beasts, and the King-levels among Level Seven Fierce Beasts? With their abilities, the Electromagnetic Cannon could not aim at them at all. Using innate abilities, they only needed to walk around in a city… the entire city would be frozen under endless ice and snow, or turned into a city burning with raging fire, finally becoming a ruin.
It should be said that it was fortunate that King-level Fierce Beasts were very rare and extremely hard to see, otherwise…
Based on Zhou Liming’s understanding of Fierce Beasts, innate abilities only existed in King-levels. Ordinary level Fierce Beasts could possess Form Skills, but they did not have innate abilities. Otherwise, if every Fierce Beast was like this Bullhorn Fish, or like the Flame Bird, humans should just find a comfortable place and commit suicide.
Zhou Liming smiled bitterly, “Why am I worrying for them? I should think of a way to shake it off and solve my own predicament first.”
The Bullhorn Fish’s flight speed in the air was too fast. His own abnormal speed had no advantage in front of it. So Zhou Liming thought for a moment, then made a refraction in the air, diving towards the ground. When he was almost about to hit the ground, he swept past abruptly and then conducted ultra-low-altitude flight.
