Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 26 The fight begins

The jade-like ice string gleamed with a cold light, and at its end, a disheveled figure was coiled.

Yang Guizhou, with a dark shadow hanging over his head, had just emerged from the murky water and couldn't help but gasp for breath. The discomfort from the congestion in his nose made his face turn bright red.

Yang Guizhou paused for a moment, then raised his hand and pulled off the tentacle hanging around his neck. The little monster on his head sensed his thoughts and clung desperately to his hair, unwilling to be thrown away by this human.

Unfortunately, the little monster was destined to be disappointed.

Chu Deng sized up Yang Guizhou for a while and saw that he was unharmed, which she guessed was due to the little monster on his head. With Liu Hua's hint, this dark little octopus should be the little boss she was looking for.

Then, flames erupted in Chu Deng's palm as he pinched the slippery little octopus's head.

The scalded, black octopus ignored Yang Guizhou and curled its tentacles upwards, attacking the human who had hurt it like knives. Its large blue eyes glistened with tears. Lacking a vocal system, it could only express its pain by wrinkling all its suckers and spraying ink like it had no money.

The paralyzing ink was intercepted halfway and, before it could strike the enemy, froze into ice and shattered into pieces upon hitting the ground.

"Hey! Let go!" Even when the little octopus fought back, it remembered to leave a strand of hair to cling to Yang Guizhou's hair. Chu Deng pulled the little octopus like a tug-of-war, making his scalp ache.

A cold light flashed in Xingchen's eyes as he gripped an ice blade and slashed at the dark tentacles that were wrapped around Yang Guizhou's hair.

With a clang, the tentacle was completely unharmed.

Chu Deng chuckled upon seeing this and commented, "Did the mini-boss max out its defense skills?"

Xingchen pursed his lips, swung the ice blade to the side, and since he couldn't cut the tentacles, he cut off Yang Guizhou's hair.

Finally free, Yang Guizhuo glanced at the little octopus in Chu Deng's hand. The dark-colored ball seemed to sense its future, trembling as it hugged itself with its tentacles. The little tentacle that was curling up its hair was still waving at him reluctantly, as if saying goodbye.

The little thing looks rather pitiful.

Yang Guizhou felt a pang of pity when he thought of the little dumpling protecting him in the water.

"Don't kill it yet..."

Xingchen glanced at him and reminded him, "You can't leave the dungeon without killing it."

Yang Guizhou immediately fell silent.

He was speechless, but Chu Deng readily agreed, "Okay, let's not kill it yet." She tried to put the little boss into her backpack, and the system panel flashed, successfully storing the little octopus.

【…】

【? ? ? 】

【! ! ! 】

Can anyone tell me if the game Star Travel World allows you to collect living creatures in your inventory?

I tried, but it didn't work.

[Holy crap! This light is overpowered! No wonder it could completely dominate Zoe!]

[Spectating is paused; I'm going to report this.]

The people who were live-streaming on the forum were furious. They felt like fools for worshipping the big shot, and were instantly enraged.

[Don't panic, everyone. It might be a special item.]

[What kind of special item is this? The rule that you can't put living creatures in your backpack is already in the game! This woman is definitely cheating; I'm going to get customer service to ban her account right now!]

[Support+]

Xingchen and Yang Guizhou had played the game longer than Chu Deng and knew the rules. They looked at her empty hands with suspicion.

Chu Deng didn't notice the expressions of the two people, but instead moved her wrists, making a crisp popping sound from her joints.

"I also want to test the strength of a level six water-type."

As soon as the words were spoken, the water droplets in front of the three of them vanished instantly, leaving only the water vapor and sand in the air as proof of their existence.

As the mist dissipated, Gabriel's figure came into view.

"Are you going to fight or not?" Chu Deng extended an invitation.

"Fight," Xingchen said succinctly.

"Damn it!" Yang Guizhou, who was completely suppressed in the water mass, was seething with anger, and purple arcs of electricity crackled around his body.

Chu Deng attacked first, unleashing a long, fiery side kick, which Gabriel blocked with his water shield. The water shield rippled, and the recoil pushed Chu Deng away. Chu Deng raised her hand and fired a fireball into the ground to neutralize the attack. Swift as lightning, another heavy punch followed, but Gabriel blocked it with a small water ball and leaped up to dodge Yang Guizhou's whip kick.

Yang Guizhou braced himself with one hand on the ground. After his first attack failed, he adjusted his posture and flicked upwards. As long as he touched Gabriel, he could electrocute the guy.

In mid-air, Gabriel was attacked by Chu Deng's Flaming Fist to his left and Yang Guizhou's Lightning Kick below. In a flash, without any instruction, he condensed water at the point of force on his body. The crystal-clear water, like a mother's hand, gently pushed Gabriel, who had no leverage, allowing him to flip in the air. Like a bird spinning in flight, he escaped his predator and skillfully dodged the attacks of the two.

Flames erupted from Chu Deng's feet, propelling him into the air like a volleyball spike. In the blink of an eye, several fireballs condensed in his palms and hurtled towards the vulnerable Gabriel in mid-air.

Before the fireball even got close, Gabriel felt the scorching heat. His handsome face appeared even more divine in the firelight. As he lay on his back, a dazzling blue light erupted from his body, and a chilling ice shield blocked his way.

He comprehended the ice element amidst life and death!

The ice shield absorbed the damage from the fireball, but it couldn't stop the impact of the fireball, and Gabriel was thrown uncontrollably to the ground.

Chu Deng and Gabriel clashed quickly. Yang Guizhou couldn't keep up with their fighting speed, and while dodging, he was used as a human cushion by Gabriel and slammed into the sand.

A man weighing over 100 pounds fell from the sky, causing Yang Guizhou's vision to go black.

When Yang Guizhou and Chu Deng chose to attack at close range, Xingchen, who couldn't squeeze in, could only wait for the right moment to launch ice arrows, while also being careful not to hurt her two teammates.

The two attacked one after another, and Xingchen could only watch coldly from the sidelines.

As Chu Deng fell from the sky, just as she was about to land safely again using the eruption of flames, she felt a hard touch beneath her feet. Looking down, she saw an ice pillar standing firmly on the beach, supporting her.

Xingchen not only caught Chu Deng, but also, seeing that Yang Guizhou looked like he was about to be crushed, Bingxian wrapped around Gabriel's neck and pulled him away.

Unfortunately, Gabriel, who had mastered the ability to turn water into ice, was completely unharmed by his ice strings, which greatly displeased Xingchen, whose combat power was significantly reduced.

Gabriel quickly got up on the beach and then snapped the ice string that posed no threat to him.

The frustrating fight made Gabriel's face darken. As a level six ability user, he was being suppressed by level three and four people, which made him extremely unhappy.

So he stopped fighting the two men and instead took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and escape the battlefield.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how tragic." Yan Mengqi sat on a high place, commenting on the battle in the distance.

"Sister, can you... can you lend a hand..." Liu Hua said, his voice trembling. In his severely injured state, he had exhausted his last bit of supernatural power in order to watch this top-level battle. He could only force a lotus flower to grow. In order to make the lotus flower grow taller, he had to force it to grow. The lotus flower struggled to support the weight of two people, making Liu Hua, who was stimulating the lotus flower, sweat profusely.

In order to continue watching the play, Yan Mengqi had no choice but to exhaust the last bit of her supernatural power, conjure steel wire to wrap around the main stem of the lotus flower, and add a support on the ground to free Liu Hua.

"Look, they've started fighting again."

"Wait, let me record this first so I can review it later."

"..."
