0039 Snowball fight

After a moment of lurking and observing, the team locked onto one of the largest bobos.

Puff~

From behind it, the Accumulator stabbed into the black fur at Bobo's side.

Oh~

Bobo's body leaned slightly, his howl of pain was like an alarm bell, and his companions scattered around him.

Li Ming drew his sword and stabbed again, slashing with all his strength to expand the wound.

The steaming blood gushed out, and Bo Bomai moved the soles of his feet, dragging Li Ming to slide forward.

[Stable under the plate] stand under the pressure of both feet, and [Green Bear Arm Strength] holds the sword to resist.

Ahh

The drag and slide stopped, and the blade scraped against the flesh and cracked.

Sensing the severe pain, Bobo could only turn his head sideways.

The energy storage sword was withdrawn, and Li Ming immediately combined the sword and shield and slashed out with an axe.

Puff~

The body that bears the vertical split is short, the soles of the four feet are bent down, and the kneeling is on its side.

The team flew up and began a siege, and the largest Bobo quickly died.

Three white fog balls flew out, and the skills were named [Cold-Resistant Body Hair (Black)], [Fat and Tender Big Tongue], and [Incisor Teeth Top Impact].

Li Ming compared for a moment, and felt that these three skills didn't seem to have much effect.

So combined with the local cold environment, I chose [Warm Body Hair (Black)].

At the head of the corpse, Chu Ying lifted Bobo's mouth up, and Mi Duoduo held the tip of the pink fat tongue with both claws, dragging it outward and straightening it.

Holding the cloth of the kitchen knife, look at the base of the tongue and cut it with a knife.

With the cooperation of one person and two cats, the delicious Bobo tongue is in hand.

Since the snow-capped mountain gathering industry has almost disappeared, the price of bobo tongue has remained high.

However, the team had never eaten any of them, and was very excited about the taste, so they decided to eat half of it during the hunt and sell the remaining half when they returned to the base.

After cutting enough raw meat, the team went again.

In the evening, the team continued to climb over the mountains and came to the small ice cave marked on the map.

This was formerly a camp area where field investigators and hunter teams were stationed.

However, due to the fact that there are so few visitors, it is now abandoned, but it is still much more convenient than to explore another place.

Except for the ruins of the old camp and a few traces of monster activity in the cave, the team did not detect any other anomalies, so they decided to set up camp.

"Li Ming... Your beard grows so fast! ”

When setting up the tent, Chu Ying asked in surprise when she saw the thick beard that almost covered her mouth.

"Is there one? No, I don't. ”

Li Ming stroked his black beard and said.

"Uh... Maybe you don't notice it yourself, Bubu Miduoduo, you come and see. ”

The two cats, who had just lit the bonfire, heard that they came to check.

"Hmm... I don't see anything unusual about meow. ”

Bubu informed.

"If you comb your beard softly, it will definitely look better."

Midodo gives his opinion.

"Okay."

Chu Ying said a little weakly.

At night, the cold wind howls and the slanting blizzard obscures the sky.

Inside the ice cave, it is a warm scene.

Two people and two cats were eating barbecue and singing.

After tasting the textured and chewy bob tongue, the team began to rest.

The next day, the heavy snow had stopped, the blue and cloudless sky was clear, and the air was crisp and sweet.

The team continued its march up the hill.

The route up the mountain marked by the field investigator has avoided the monster territory as much as possible, so the progress is very smooth.

Halfway up the mountain, covered with snow, the team stopped moving.

"This is the territory of the wild boar herd, and according to the plan, this is the best place to set up traps."

Li Ming, who looked up at the mountain, informed.

"Li Ming, your eyebrows..."

Chu Ying couldn't help but remind.

Li Ming lifted his eyebrows, which drooped to his eyes, and obviously realized the problem.

"It's a bit of a blockage of vision, I'll clean it up before the battle begins."

Jingle Bell! Conch burns incense!

Two men and two cats, holding two large and two small and four mining pickaxes, began to try to planing on the hard frozen soil.

Three hours passed, and a not-so-deep pit appeared.

Li Ming felt that although the Great Boar King's sprint was extremely powerful, its four hooves could not support its body to crawl vertically.

Therefore, as long as the angle of the pit wall is up to standard, it is not so easy for the other party to get out.

Poof~

A snowball that fell diagonally from above smashed into the top of Midodo's head, scattering and shattering.

"Uhh

Midodo screamed in pain, and the pickaxe broke off its claws and sat down in the snow.

Woo~Woo~...

On the hillside above, there was an ape-like howl of excitement.

Two sturdy white-haired baboons jumped and applauded while looking down.

Li Ming and Chu Ying, who were sitting on the edge of the pit to rest, one ran to Mi Duoduo to cover with a shield, and the other side-lifted crossbow shot back.

While! While!

Seeing that the two hard snowballs were resisted by Li Ming's shield, and the ballista bullets continued to shoot fiercely, the white-haired baboon immediately turned around and left.

"Dare to hurt Duoduo Meow, don't run!"

Bubu pulled out his kitchen knife and was about to climb and pursue.

"You can't chase Bubu, our physical exertion today is too serious."

Chu Ying's reminder made Bubu stop helplessly.

Li Ming, who felt the impact of the snowball through the shield, was a little worried about Mi Duoduo's safety, so he picked him up and shook it gently.

"Midodo! Midodo! You okay? ”

Midodo slowly opened his eyes, then shook his head quickly, shaking off the white snow stained with cat hair on his face.

"I'm okay meow... It was the Acorn Helmet that saved me. ”

Midodo said as he raised his paw and straightened his helmet.

"It's okay, this revenge can't be avenged today, but looking at the proud appearance of the snow lion, it will probably come again, and tomorrow it will be just to explore the terrain of the upper layer, if you have the chance, you will solve them together."

Li Ming informed.

"Wouldn't it be too risky, meow? What if the snow lion group comes to you? ”

Mi Duoduo said with some concern.

"As long as you kill fast enough to pass on the information, no race will rush over... By the way, do you know why the two of them would want to target you? ”

Li Ming asked curiously.

In terms of location at the time, Midodo was the farthest from the hill in the team.

"Alas~ Maybe it's my black hair, it's too conspicuous on the snow, meow."

Midodo spoke of understanding.

"I see."

Li Ming was stunned.

Even if he is wearing a white cotton suit, Midodo's exposed black cat hair is still very eye-catching.

Unfold the rattan net and fix it, and the team that completes the trap arrangement returns to the ice crystal cave below.

"In order to celebrate that Miduoduo was not seriously injured, why don't you have some more bobo tongue for dinner?"

Before the bonfire, Li Ming proposed.

"This..."

Chu Ying wanted to refuse, but the dreamy taste of dinner yesterday suddenly came to mind, so she changed her words and said, "Okay, then eat less." ”

"There's a big meow, and I agree!"

Bubu raised his paw and said.

"Thank you."

Miduoduo felt that this reason seemed a bit far-fetched, but since he could still eat Bobo tongue for dinner, he didn't care so much.

After the full meal, while on duty, Li Ming trimmed his thick hair.

The next day, the team set off at dawn to explore the upper areas of the snow-capped mountains.

At noon, two snow lions, which were holding their fists in front of them, rushed all the way to the top of the slope.

After just looking down, I caught a glimpse of the black-haired creature sitting in the snow with its back to them.

The two snow lions looked at each other, suppressing the urge to howl with excitement.

Light pink holds the snow in the palm of his hand, rubs it with body temperature to soften, and constantly compacts and condenses.

Soon, two hard snowballs were made.

One of the snow lions stood up on the soles of its feet, and its arms swung back sharply.

Call~

After a brief aiming, the snowball comes out of its palm.

Smack~whoosh~

The cotton wool-wrapped acorn helmet flew away from the body sitting on the pile, fell into the snow and continued to fly.

The snow lion who threw the snowball was surprised and opened his palm to look at it, his expression full of disbelief.

Obviously, the operation of knocking the target's head into the air as soon as the snowball is fired is beyond its cognition.

At this point, the Acorn Helmet stopped rolling, revealing the snow mass covered in black hair.

The cat's face is scratched on the surface of the snow ball, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, revealing an evil smile.

The other snow lion, who had not yet thrown a snowball, immediately sensed that something was wrong and raised his head to roar.

As a result, before he made a sound, he was suddenly stunned.

Directly above, a humanoid figure was flying towards him in a posture of stepping down on one leg.

The snow lion, whose neck has been [trampled], wants to hold up its limbs to resist.

The next moment, the energy storage sword stabbed into the back, and the severe pain caused it to lose its strength on the spot, and it fell into the snow without support.

Poof! Poof! ...

Draw your sword, stab in...

Li Ming, who had an absolute advantage, didn't give any chance at all, and deepened the wound with continuous stabbing.

The snow lion on the side reacted and picked up the ape arm with a punch.

While!

Li Ming raised his shield to block, glanced at the one that fell into the snow, and speculated that death was only a matter of time, so he slowly retreated.

Just as the snow lion approached in the confrontation, a small block of snow fell from the sky.

Li Ming raised the energy storage sword and pointed diagonally upward.

The snow lion couldn't help but look at it, but after a moment, he couldn't help but peek at it.

Above, a giant snowball rolled to the edge.

On both sides of the giant snowball, Mi Duoduo and Bubu leaned towards the probe at the same time, revealing their heads.

The two cats waved their paws at the snow lion in a friendly way, as if to say hello, and then disappeared.

Gollum~Gollum~... Call~

Giant snowballs tumble down the edge of the platform and into the slope, continuing to roll at an accelerated pace.

The snow lion turned and ran, but before he could go far, he was hit in the forearm by a ballista bullet, and his speed on the ground slowed down significantly.

Gollum~Gollum~... Bang!

There was a rumbling sound, and the snowball became bigger and bigger, overpowering the snow lion and burying its back into the snow.

This level of crushing is not fatal enough for the snow lion, but when it falls to the ground in this posture, it has lost the ability to fight back and struggle.

[Big Jump] followed by [Heavy Stepping], and the energy storage sword pierced into the back, for the snow lion tied to the snow, Li Ming couldn't find a reason to miss at all.

Soon, there were three more white fog balls on the blood-stained snow.

[Digging under the snow], [Uppercut], [Snowballs].

After observing for a while, Li Ming quickly evaluated the three skills according to the description.

[Snow excavation] is to dig a tunnel to let yourself pass under the snow.

If this skill is paired with [Blue Bear Arm Strength], it should have a good effect.

Even when digging under the snow, it is difficult to find out what the surface of the snow is.

[Uppercut] is to support the power with both legs, and launch a strong punch from the bottom up.

With the [Big Jump], it can probably achieve the effect of the luxury oil root in Street Fighter.

The disadvantage is very obvious, even if it is a powerful hunting weapon, the hunter must swing it with all his strength with standard movements to barely cut the scales of the monster's carapace.

If there is no effective connection with the use of weapons, no matter how powerful the effect of [Uppercut] is, it is meaningless.

[Rubbing the Snow Globe] is that after the palm is pre-cooled, it will heat up quickly, so that the snow cubes can be better compressed and bonded.

Aside from being able to kill in a snowball fight, this skill is useless.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming chose [Digging Under the Snow].

After all, this skill can come in handy directly in the snowy area of the Snow Mountain, and it also has a matching effect with [Blue Bear Arm Strength].

After selecting this skill, Li Ming quickly ran towards the mountain slope.

The reason is that the death area of the two monsters is a bit far away this time, and if you don't hurry, there is a risk that the fog ball will disappear.

Seeing the disappearance of the snow lion corpse in the hollow pit, Li Ming's heart tightened, and he immediately began to track the crawling traces.

The red ice crystals formed by the blood condensation were very conspicuous in the snow, and when he found the body of the snow lion and the three fog balls, Li Ming was relieved.

"In order for me to get the fog ball stably, I have been holding on for so long, and it has been hard."

Li Ming sighed, and then picked up the fog ball.

Among them, [Digging Under the Snow] and [Rubbing Snowballs] are repeated, and there is only one skill that I have never seen before, [Ape Arm Throwing].

Looking at the description, it means that the arm can swing with greater amplitude and force.

This skill is good, dyeing balls, sonic booms, flashbangs and other throwables can be thrown farther.

Li Ming immediately chose [Ape Arm Throw].

After cutting the materials, the other members came to Li Ming to meet, ready to discuss the next move.

As a result, after looking for a long time, I didn't find where Li Ming was.

"Strange, where did Li Ming go?"

Chu Ying, who looked around, asked puzzledly.

"Shouldn't you stumble and fall off the cliff?"

Midodo ran to the edge of the cliff to check.

"I guess... What a meow is that! ”

Bubu saw a bulge track that continued to crack the surface of the snow, and immediately exclaimed.

"Snowy travel... It could be the Snow Lion King! ”

Chu Ying took off the ballista and aimed it at the cracked snowy surface.

Poof~Wow~

An arm with a green bear's gauntlet breaks through the snow.

Li Ming, whose face was covered with snow, poked his head out and looked left and right.

"Don't be nervous, it's me... Don't move, Chu Ying, I'll try to position it. ”

Li Ming visually measured the distance between him and Chu Ying, and then shrank his head and disappeared.

"It's... All right. ”

Chu Ying put away the heavy crossbow and stood still.

Whew~Whew~Whew...

A trajectory of continuous upheaving and cracking of the snow surface suddenly stopped when it approached the distance of three meters in front of Chu Ying's body.

Puff~

Li Ming smashed the snow surface, climbed out of it, and when he swept away the snow on his body, he muttered, "It's a little cold." ”

Chu Ying handed over a hot drink.

"Thank you, I drank it before the ambush, and it won't work if I drink more."

"You dug this tunnel under the snow?"

Chu Ying, who squatted down to look at the probe, asked incredulously.

"Yes, but not very skilled yet."
