Kill Him While He’s Sick

After advancing to Sequence Two, relying on her magic essence cluster, Su Ran could already master a part of Frost Rose.

These were the several icy vines coiling around her, ready to strike.

Compared to the rosebud that could take root in an enemy’s body and absorb magic essence, the icy vines seemed to be merely an accessory to the spell, Frost Rose.

But even as an accessory, for the Sequence Two Su Ran, it was still a spell of considerable power.

With her spirit, she could at most control four icy vines.

Four icy vines were already enough for the current situation!

Su Ran had a look of ease, and she lightly raised her hand and pointed in front of her.

The icy vines coiling around her side instantly shot out, like hunting pythons, they moved through the air several times and shot towards the Earth Fire Lizards in front of them.

From the moment Su Ran used the command to attack with the icy vines, only a few short seconds had passed.

Even the Earth Fire Lizards hadn’t reacted to what was about to happen.

Pupu pu, Su Ran’s summoned icy vines continuously pierced through the hard skulls of the Earth Fire Lizards without any pause.

The blood of the attacked Earth Fire Lizards was instantly frozen by the cold air emanating from the icy vines, and they didn’t even have time to let out a single cry of pain.

Guo Zixiang, who was standing behind Su Ran, couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw this scene.

Not long ago, they were still worried about being surrounded by the Sequence Three Earth Fire Lizards.

But now, the young girl who had just advanced to Sequence Two had already begun to clean up the magical beasts that were surrounding them.

The other party had done many unexpected things.

In his imagination, the young girl’s so-called “annihilation with a flick of her wrist” was just her not recognizing her own strength.

Facing these Earth Fire Lizards, they would have to go through a tough battle.

Guo Zixiang had never expected things to turn out like this.

From the young girl’s relaxed and comfortable expression, these enemies that had seemed so troublesome before had become insignificant after she had advanced to Sequence Two.

‘Did she become so powerful just by advancing to Sequence Two? Or is it because it’s her?’

Guo Zixiang suddenly realized that he still didn’t know the young girl’s name.

Someone as powerful as her would definitely hold a high position in the future.

If he knew her name, he would have a chance to boast to his friends in the future.

That he had once fought side by side with a great figure.

“Don’t get distracted!”

“S-Sorry!”

A soft shout from the young girl came from his ear, bringing Guo Zixiang back to his senses, and he quickly apologized.

Perhaps it was because of the exaggerated combat power she had displayed that he had involuntarily forgotten that he was in a dangerous environment at this moment and had relaxed for a moment.

“I don’t know if there are still any magical beasts surrounding us up ahead. Go and help the unconscious Liang Bo up. We need to leave immediately.”

Su Ran looked towards the location of the Earth Fire leader with a frown and instructed.

The Earth Fire Lizards that were surrounding them had been cleaned up by her.

After she had advanced to Sequence Two, the nearby magic essence had basically been absorbed by her, and her magic essence circuit was full of magic essence.

However, when she came out of her meditation, the Earth Fire leader still hadn’t stopped devouring its surroundings.

Its actions showed that it hadn’t given up on advancing to Sequence Three, which gave Su Ran a faint sense of foreboding.

There was no time for Su Ran to leisurely collect the magic crystals.

She quickly walked at the forefront of the team to clear the way, letting Guo Zixiang carry Liang Bo behind her.

They had to go down the mountain as quickly as possible to meet up with the habitat staff.

Just as Su Ran was leading the team and preparing to leave, several shrill screams came from the distance, followed by a series of explosions.

‘Damn it! The Earth Fire leader no longer plans to care about its kin. It plans to exchange the lives of all its kin for its advancement to the next sequence.’

The shrill screams appeared, and Su Ran already understood the other party’s plan.

The Earth Fire leader wanted to exchange the flesh, blood, and magic essence of its kin for a chance to compress its liquid magic essence.

Once it succeeded, it would become even harder for Su Ran and the others to leave.

She had to stop it.

The current situation had forced Su Ran into a state where she could not avoid it.

She had let herself lose so many of her kin.

There wasn’t much time for Su Ran to consider.

If she didn’t take advantage of the fact that the Earth Fire leader hadn’t advanced yet and deal with it…

Then when it succeeded in its advancement, Su Ran herself would be the one to suffer.

So, Su Ran made her decision almost instantly.

Strike while the iron is hot!

“It won’t let us leave easily. I’m going to eliminate it. What about you? Are you staying here or coming with me?”

Neither path was absolutely safe.

Su Ran gave the choice to Guo Zixiang, letting him decide for himself.

“I’ll go with you. If I’m alone, I might get surrounded again. At least it’s safe to be by your side.”

Hearing Guo Zixiang’s answer, Su Ran nodded slightly and turned to head towards the Earth Fire leader’s location.

Guo Zixiang, on the other hand, supported the unconscious Liang Bo and followed Su Ran.

Along the way, Su Ran didn’t see a single Earth Fire Lizard.

It was clear that Su Ran’s guess was correct.

The Earth Fire leader hadn’t let a single one of its kin go.

Halfway there, Su Ran stopped and said, “Alright, you guys wait here. You’ll be affected if you go any further.”

Without giving Guo Zixiang a chance to speak, an ice crystal longsword appeared in Su Ran’s hand, and she immediately set off to get closer to the Earth Fire leader’s location.

For a one-on-one fight, a sharp weapon like a longsword was more useful, coupled with the almost perverted hardness of the ice crystal.

Just with the sword itself, without applying any magic essence, it wouldn’t be difficult to pierce through the Earth Fire leader’s scales.

Since the Earth Fire leader couldn’t be distracted, Su Ran had already snuck up to its side without attracting its attention.

But the Earth Fire leader’s small, mountain-like size was really a bit too big.

Even Su Ran herself felt like she didn’t know where to start.

However, Su Ran quickly made a decision.

The crystal-clear sword was filled with the brilliance of magic essence, and at the same time, it carried the chill of frost.

Sensing the danger, the Earth Fire leader’s eyes moved restlessly, wanting to wake up from its advancement.

But it was not an easy thing to pull out of an advancement immediately.

At least, it couldn’t do it before Su Ran made her move.

The longsword, carrying the chill of frost, was thus thrust directly into the Earth Fire leader’s neck by Su Ran.

Compared to its size, the longsword looked like a slightly thicker ice pick.

It didn’t even draw a single drop of blood when it was inserted into its body.

A painful roar appeared.

The Earth Fire leader, awakened by the piercing pain, had already lost its composure.

The unbalanced magic essence was running rampant in its body.

With the ice crystal longsword as the starting point, a stream of frost magic essence was added to the Earth Fire leader’s body, freezing and blocking all the blood vessels in its neck.

Don’t forget, the ice crystal longsword was also made by Su Ran using her witch ability.

After piercing into its body, all the magic essence was released in an instant.
