Chapter 30: The Predator of the Ice Sea
An Ran knew that complaining would not solve his current situation, especially after he tried to attack from behind the peach fur beast and was forced back by the cloud of earthy yellow gas again, all he could do for this attack method born of biological instinct was to distance himself and use his sword qi to wear it off little by little.
Although this attack left several wounds on the peach-haired beast's body, it was not fatal, and the countless small wounds also made the peach-haired beast more and more manic.
An Ran, who dodged a blow to the top of Mount Tai with the help of rolling, swung out a sword qi with his backhand, and under normal circumstances, the peach-haired beast that was hit by the sword qi would roar and rush over, but this time it lay motionless on the ground, as if it was dead.
"It's ...... Throwing yourself to death?"
An Ran was about to step forward to take a closer look, when the peach-haired beast staggered up from the ground, a dangerous black aura overflowed from its mouth and nose, and its blood-red pupils reminded An Ran of the group of yellow dragons attacking the camp in the unknown sea of trees.
"The great metaphysician Edward Murphy said that if there is a chance that something will go bad, no matter how small that chance, it will happen. 」
While sighing that the ghost of the black erosion dragon was still gone, An Ran took a deep breath, he wasn't sure if he could directly decapitate the peach fur beast with all his sword, but if he didn't do this to let this guy run away, there would definitely be more trouble.
Holding his breath and concentrating, An Ran seized the opportunity of the pause after the Peach Fur Beast's charge, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and slashing it down, the touch from the hilt of the sword let him know that he had ended the life of the Peach Fur Beast.
However, he didn't care about resting, the appearance of this peach-haired beast made him worry that the black erosion dragon was around, and it was impossible to be too careful in the dark and clear situation, and there was still a snake dragon that he needed to solve.
Compared to the kind of monster whose attack methods are extremely disgusting, this serpentine monster that can only make the scale armor explode with its sound can be described as honest, honest bite, honest strangulation, honest tail flicking, honest explosion.
With no poisonous gas or rainbow spit, and no resilient skin that could bounce off sharp weapons, this monster with the dragon character in its name was honestly slashed at its scales by An Ran's sword, and the last sword pierced through its skull and ended its life.
"Luckily, not all of these monsters are so disgusting, and then there's the monster that moves in the ice sea. 」
An Ran, who returned to Chik Village, reported the situation to Captain Hawke, so Icarus went to the Hunters' Guild again with the news that "the Black Eclipse Dragon had appeared in the primeval forest", and An Ran also set off for the Ice Sea without stopping.
If An Ran knew that the main ingredient of the hot drink was chili, maybe he would rather be frozen to death on this ice field than drink the bottle of hot drink, but unfortunately there are not so many ifs in life.
For so long with the brigade, none of the dishes made by Chef Cat were spicy, which made An Ran always feel that there was no chili pepper in this world, and who knew that they made this kind of thing into a hot drink to warm up the body.
The spicy smell accompanied by the burning sensation made him feel like he could perform a traditional Chinese trick called fire-breathing, but he didn't feel the cold anymore, though he felt it was because he was distracted by the spicy taste.
"The temperature here is suitable for ice cream, but I didn't bring the ingredients this time, so I'll bring the cat kitchen with me next time." 」
For the information of the ghost shark, An Ran looked back and forth on the road several times, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that this monster did not have means such as poison gas attacks, he felt that he was about to be forced out of his cleanliness habit by these monsters, but fortunately, the novice suit on his body would not be dirty no matter what.
The scenery of the ice sea area seems a bit monotonous to Enron, except that the ice field is an ice field, and few plants can survive in this temperature, as if it only appears in a snow country in fairy tales, but there is generally no such thing as a choco shark in fairy tales.
When he saw the dorsal fin that broke through the ice and rushed towards him, An Ran knew that it was his target, and after he jumped sideways onto another relatively stable ice, the ghost shark also broke through the ice.
With a roar, a large amount of cold qi emerged from the ghost shark's body, and at the temperature of this sea of ice, those cold qi instantly condensed into a pair of ice armor on its body surface, in addition to making it look more powerful, its defense power is estimated to have been greatly improved.
After entering the combat state, An Ran chose to break part of the ice armor as soon as possible, and then slashed wildly at that part before the ice armor recondensed, trying to grind the monster to death by bleeding, but he soon found that this method was completely useless.
The wound left by An Ran on the ghost shark's body would be frozen by the cold air that kept pouring out, and a layer of grease-like lubricant was attached to its scales, so it was difficult to cause substantial damage by slashing alone, and the small wound caused by the puncture would not continue to bleed at all.
"There really aren't any of these monsters to deal with, compared to this, the humans of this world are like abandoned by nature, and they need to face monsters that have evolved all kinds of abilities, and at the same time, they have to watch out for those natural disasters. 」
An Ran, who really couldn't think of a way, used a move to charge sword qi to smash all the ice armor on the ghost shark's body, and at the same time as the ice crystals flew away, he jumped hard and was ready to jump on the back of the ghost shark to find the weak point, but the moment he stepped on the back scales, the soles of his feet slipped and rolled down directly.
The scene made him feel very embarrassed for a while, but fortunately, no one saw this scene, and An Ran, who rolled out a long distance, got up and patted the ice ballast on his body, in front of face, pain is secondary.
Just as he turned around and wanted to kill this guy with a direct slap of his real name, the ghost shark changed its appearance again, becoming like a balloon filled with water.
An Ran, who was in the state of "Broken Snake", saw a dense number of red dots, which in his eyes was like looking for death, and the ghost shark that turned into a water balloon obviously did not realize that he was on the verge of death, but spat out a large amount of ice around him like a blowout.
So, An Ran dodged the ice blocks that fell down, stabbed the ghost shark into the squirming abdomen with a backhand, and then held the Chixiao Sword with only one hilt left outside, and slashed forward...... The spreading red color on the ice sheet heralded the end of a life.
[True Main Quest 4 has been completed, and rewards will be distributed after the next stage of the main quest is triggered"
"If you have a next life, let's be a person. 」
After praying for the ghost shark in his heart, An Ran dragged his somewhat tired body back to Chik Village, but to his surprise, this time Uncle Whitebeard did not wait for him to come back at the entrance of the village.
"Something must have happened again, right? I just came back. 」
