Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Truly My Good Brother
Qian Qi crouched over the panel, fully concentrating on observing the battle.
The pure Elemental Master Awakener is completely different from her combat style, which is strength-based. Elemental Masters usually perform semi-long-range attacks, as their fragile bodies require maintaining a safe distance to ensure their safety.
However, Li Haisheng, being a Thunder Element Master, is evidently much more daring. Perhaps due to years of combat, he has cultivated his own fighting habits. With the long blade in his hand as support, he continuously strikes several narrow white-purple currents in a left-right "X" shape towards the Frost Wolf.
The Frost Wolf swiftly dodged, having lived long in dangerous and towering canyons, most of the magic beasts here are quite agile. Li Haisheng spat on the ground and lifted his head, slashing directly at the abdomen of the Frost Wolf that leapt overhead.
No wonder it’s a D-level weapon; the sharp blade directly sliced through the Frost Wolf’s fur, causing it to twitch on the ground. However, several other Frost Wolves had already reached Li Haisheng, sharp claws slicing towards his neck.
Li Haisheng quickly tilted his head to dodge, and the wolf claws landed on Li Haisheng’s Defense Armor, leaving several noticeable scratches on the brand-new armor.
Qian Qi immediately gasped in distress.
"Hiss—my Defense Armor! Uncle, can you handle this? Can’t even dodge here? You’re such a waste!"
Li Haisheng: ???
When did my Defense Armor become your Defense Armor?
Also, if you have time to talk smack, why don’t you come down and fight yourself!
Li Haisheng muttered grumpily in his heart, but with the enemy in front, he dared not get too distracted. Raising his long blade, he carved out several electric blade flowers, with powerful lightning attacks forcing the surrounding Frost Wolves to retreat, their green beast eyes cautiously staring at him.
"Didn’t expect him to have such skills." Qian Qi watched in great pleasure, "Chen Tong probably spent a lot of money hiring him, aw, that kid spent a fortune, oh no..."
Qian Qi rubbed her chin, her face beaming, "I should say, worthy of being my dear son, knowing that I’m short on money, immediately came to honor me."
System: ???
On the ground, seemingly aware of Li Haisheng’s difficulty, the Frost Wolf leader stood behind the pack, its icy gaze overlooking him.
The Black Mountain Canyon covers the entire instance, usually taking several days to find food here. The Frost Wolf leader carefully mused, considering what price they can pay for a D-level food.
While the Frost Wolf leader was still weighing the situation, the experienced Li Haisheng had already noticed the lack of support for the Frost Wolf leader from other wolf packs and immediately decided to cut through the chaos with a quick slash, giving no chance for the Frost Wolves to react, directly taking them down.
"Die, all of you!" Li Haisheng shouted angrily, the long blade over a meter long gathered strong electric turbulence, illuminating the nearby dim canyon, while debris and sand trembled and scattered, rushing together with the lightning attack towards the Frost Wolf pack.
After half an hour of fierce combat, the Frost Wolf pack soon fell into disarray and retreated with their tails hanging low.
But Li Haisheng did not give them a chance to retreat, determined to prevent them from regrouping and seeking retaliation, he goaded the few escaped Frost Wolves, mercilessly severing their heads.
As for the head wolf, Li Haisheng spent some time killing it, then put away his long blade, stomped hard on the head wolf’s brain, spat again, cursing, "Beast, even an E-level dares to court death!"
"Whoa! Big bro, you’re too strong!"
At this moment, Qian Qi had landed, trotting over and clapping in high praise, "Awesome, watching this is truly an eye-opener! You’re incredibly strong!"
"I surely should have saved you earlier, being by your side truly fills me with safety!"
Li Haisheng turned back, seeing the "admiration" on Qian Qi’s face felt very punchable for some reason.
Recalling her solo escape, his face immediately fell, questioning, "Why didn’t you fly with me earlier!"
"Oh, I have my difficulties too!"
Qian Qi quickly waved her little hands in explanation, "My flying ability also has a time limit! Naturally, it has to be used at crucial moments! Plus, my horizontal flying speed is relatively slow, even if I took you, these wolf packs would keep chasing us, and if I ran out of energy, wouldn’t we both be stranded here?"
Qian Qi patted Li Haisheng’s Defense Armor empathetically, her fingertips brushing over the scratches, revealing a trace of distress amidst her sincerity, "Big bro, you have to believe me! I’m a good person, apart from me, all these demons want your life! I’m the only human, the only one who can fight alongside you! I definitely won’t harm you!"
Li Haisheng was baffled by Qian Qi’s spiel, his eyes suspiciously fixed on Qian Qi, yet feeling that Qian Qi’s words were not without reason.
Currently, in this instance, it’s only him and Qian Qi. If Qian Qi doesn’t want to die, she’s bound to choose cooperation, and as long as she isn’t foolish, she wouldn’t jeopardize their lives.
"Alright." Li Haisheng frowned and said, "If we encounter multiple D-level magical beasts, remember to take me away; we need to preserve our strength to have the ability to counter the instance boss!"
"Of course!" Qian Qi patted her chest and promised, "I definitely won’t leave you behind!"
Li Haisheng chose to believe her with reservations, glancing at the Frost Wolf carcasses on the ground, frowning, "Let’s leave here quickly, the smell of blood might attract other magic beasts."
Qian Qi clapped her hands in agreement, "You really have experience! Let’s head this way then!"
Li Haisheng was not suspicious and followed Qian Qi directly, unaware that less than a kilometer away, they bumped into a dozen E-level Wind Chasing Blood Horses drawn by the scent.
"Oh no—" Qian Qi immediately crawled up the panel and flew up, displaying her weakness and cowardice thoroughly, "Big bro, they look terrifying! Quick, kill them!"
Li Haisheng: ???
Li Haisheng watched Qian Qi flying above the Wind Chasing Blood Horses, pointing and shouting at him. One who didn’t know might think she and the blood horses were allies, commanding them to kill him!
Li Haisheng’s temple veins bulged in anger, constantly reminding himself that Qian Qi is a Support Awakener; even if she stayed beside him, she had no combat power, allowing himself to return to a normal mindset.
Drawing his long blade, Li Haisheng resignedly faced off against the dozen Wind Chasing Blood Horses.
An hour later, Li Haisheng looked at the magic beast corpses on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Damn, wind attribute magical beasts are the most annoying, they’re too hard to pin down."
Especially since this place is full of canyons, making it very inconvenient to navigate, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so exhausted.
"Oh wow, big bro, awesome! As expected from big bro!" Qian Qi landed and quickly came over to laud him.
