Chapter 2026 - Did I Panic? (2/2)

A few leaders took the initiative to charge at the Ice Mountain Beasts’ den, riding their Wind and Ice Magic. The den was inside a spacious canyon full of ice pillars and spikes. They could see complicated bridges made up of irregular sculpted ice when they looked into the canyon. They were as thick as the branches in a forest.

The Ice Mountain Beasts resided in their little kingdom. They were a Commander-level species with a pure lineage, and most importantly, they lived in groups!

A Commander-level species that lived together was pretty rare outside the safe zone of any country, but it was very common in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain!

The scavengers stayed outside the Ice Mountain Beasts’ territory. They did not dare set foot into it.

The scavengers had formed a weak coalition. Their strength might be comparable to the Ice Mountain Beasts, but they lacked synergy and teamwork. The Ice Mountain Beasts were willing to fight to their death to protect their territory, but that was not the case for the scavengers. They would leave right away when faced with such reckless creatures.

The humans had gone into the Ice Mountain beasts’ den. The scavengers had no choice but to wait until the battle in the canyon came to an end. They would then take out whoever won the battle so they could survive the winter!

“Did they follow us inside?” Zhao Manyan looked behind him. The scavengers had vanished behind the ice pillars.

“Don’t worry, they won’t come inside. That would only provoke the Ice Mountain Beasts,” Nanyu said.

“It’s usually us humans abusing the stupidity of the demon creatures and letting them fight one another, but they are doing the same thing to us now,” Zhao Manyan noticed.

“We don’t have a choice. As a matter of fact, high-level demon creatures are intelligent too. Otherwise, we would have long conquered the world, instead of hiding in our safe zones and cities,” Nanyu pointed out.

“So who’s familiar with the Ice Mountain Beasts? Can anyone tell me what their capabilities are before the fight?” Jiang Yu said.

“Jiang Yu, aren’t you an expert when it comes to demon creatures, yet you’re asking us now? Are you being serious?” Mo Fan had to ask.

“…I’ve never seen these creatures before, nor have I read about them. It’s Tianshan Mountain. Not many people have been here,” Jiang Yu said awkwardly. He subconsciously looked at Lingling.

Lingling was weak. She had to rely on magic Equipment to survive in the harsh environment. She was currently in Mo Fan’s arms, as she had to rely on Mo Fan’s Fire Magic to fend off the cold.

Mo Fan was worried when he saw her struggling to stay awake.

He should not have brought Lingling along. Her fragile body was unable to withstand the cold.

“Be careful of the bones that grow out of their joints. Those bones can break through almost every defensive Equipment, so you shouldn’t rely on your Equipment too much,” Lingling said softly.

“Our defensive Equipment is useless?” The eyes of everyone on the team opened wide.

The truth was, their team had only managed to preserve its numbers because of their outstanding Equipment!

Their Equipment was far better than anyone else’s in the alliance. Their factions were only worried about one thing, their safety, so their Equipment was capable of defending them from attacks far beyond what they could handle themselves.

Their hearts turned cold when they heard the Ice Mountain Beasts’ attacks could penetrate their defenses!

“Look at you, you bunch of… (sigh), didn’t I tell you not to rely on your magic Equipment so much? Look at me, did I panic?” Mo Fan grinned. He finally had a chance to school these rich second generations!
