Chapter 103 Super Ice-Fire Double Strike: Water Vapor Escape Technique

Lili had barely said that she had a solution when Hao Ren and Vivian simultaneously cast horrified glances at her: this simpleton jumping out to save the world at a critical moment? That didn't fit the script, did it?

Lili, of course, felt quite indignant at their gazes, but she said nothing. She merely adopted a horse stance, assuming a posture to channel her inner strength, and slowly raised her Icefire Dual Claws. In an instant, two opposing forces—icy cold and blazing heat—were unleashed from her claws. Countless ice crystals and surging heatwaves formed tornado-like势 (shi - momentum/aura) on either side of Lili's body!

"This simpleton really…" Vivian was so astonished that she didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected that these two claws could not only be swung to hack at people but could also be used as spellcasting tools. However, she quickly didn't have time to talk: the demon hunters around them realized that the strange female werewolf in front of them might be about to unleash some desperate counterattack. They immediately and simultaneously raised the machine crossbows in their hands. The next second, several demon-piercing arrows flew towards Lili's face!

Vivian reacted quickly, instantly transforming the left half of her body into a cloud of black-red mist, which swirled towards the arrows, forcibly using her magic to prevent those demon-piercing crossbow bolts from spatially teleporting back to the bowstrings. Hao Ren, on the other hand, sidestepped and rushed to Lili's other side, using his back to take the remaining three crossbow bolts head-on. After three muffled explosions, he saw a small red box appear in his vision, with the words "Rigid Shield Capacity Insufficient, Shutting Down Soon" written on it. He was immediately scared into a cold sweat. If he didn't run, someone was going to die!

"Haah—" Accompanied by a delicate shout, the Icefire Storm stirred up by Lili's dual claws finally swelled to form two whirlwinds more than ten meters high. The demon hunters realized that something was wrong and that their attacks were difficult to land effectively, so they immediately switched to other equipment. They took out符卡 (fuka - talisman cards) or small medicine bottles from their close-fitting pockets, igniting the符卡 (fuka) and smashing the medicine bottles. All sorts of colorful protective layers appeared around the demon hunters. Obviously, they planned to rely on brute force to withstand the "female werewolf's desperate counterattack." These experienced experts understood very well that the monsters in front of them were already at the end of their rope. If this last counterattack failed, what remained would be a one-sided "purification."

"Behold my ultimate move, the Icefire Tornado!" Lili finally channeled the power on her two claws to the point where even she could hardly control it. Then, with a forceful wave of her arms, the dual claws collided with a "bang," and the two tornadoes suddenly merged!

"Bang! Rumble!" The sudden expansion and contraction of the air triggered a huge explosion, and a large white, high-temperature shockwave spread in all directions. In the blink of an eye, a thick fog filled the area within a few hundred meters, and visibility dropped to almost zero.

Lili tugged hard on Hao Ren's arm: "Run, run! Bat and those two wolf uncles, run quickly!"

Hao Ren only felt as if he were tied to a speeding motorcycle. Before he could react, his whole body was already being dragged horizontally through the air by Lili. He couldn't see what was happening around him at all. All he saw was a white expanse, and the scalding heat washed over his face. Lili was right beside him, but he could only see a blurry outline because of the thick fog, which showed just how severe the fog was.

"Bang bang bang!" After a short delay, continuous sounds of bowstrings came from behind them. Obviously, the demon hunters, after their initial astonishment, finally realized what had happened and began attacking randomly, but judging from the sounds, they seemed to have targeted the wrong thing.

Demon hunters were indeed closer to "humans." They had strange magic and a bunch of weird tools, but in terms of perception and reaction ability, they were clearly inferior to the beast-like异类 (yilei - other species/monsters). If Vivian were chasing prey, she wouldn't make such a mistake: she could locate wounded prey several kilometers away by smelling the blood.

Hao Ren was thinking about this when he heard the sound of pursuit behind him getting farther and farther away. He finally felt a little more at ease. It seemed that he had temporarily survived the crisis. At the same time, a familiar flapping sound came from above. It seemed that Vivian was also following him safely. He looked up and greeted her: "Vivian, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just some skin wounds, almost healed," Vivian's figure appeared several meters above and to the side. Here, the fog was still spreading, but it was much thinner, and he could roughly see the surroundings. It seemed that they had left the factory area and entered a completely desolate area. "I don't know if those two werewolves got out."

"They got out!" Kasa Eben's rough voice came from behind. The burly werewolf leaped out of the thick fog, with the small Eamon Eben on his shoulder. His arm, corroded by the sacred silver dagger, was still hanging limply by his side. It seemed to be temporarily disabled, but the silver-glowing wounds on his body were slowly healing. It seemed that after leaving the demon hunters for a while, the magic power on the wounds was gradually dissipating. "Little girl, what exactly was that just now? That kind of fog…"

"Water vapor!" Lili dragged Hao Ren along and ran wildly, saying happily as she ran, "There's water vapor when you smash ice on a hot iron! I enlarged them a hundred times and mixed them with a tornado, and then it became a lot of water vapor!"

Everyone: "…"

"That's your ultimate move?" Vivian almost fell out of the sky. Her body tilted, and she asked in a strange tone, "Smashing your two claws together to produce a large amount of water vapor, and then running away?"

"That's right!" Lili nodded vigorously, and her tail wagged, hitting Hao Ren's head with a啪啪 (pa pa - pop pop) sound (Hao Ren was still being dragged by Lili in mid-air, everyone should imagine that). "I've already thought of a name: Super Ice-Fire Double Strike: Water Vapor Escape Technique!"

Kasa Eben almost shook his hand and threw his good buddy down: "Which werewolf family are you from?! I've never heard of werewolves having this kind of talent!"

"Her hometown is probably near the Arctic Circle or the Great Snow Plains…" Hao Ren sighed, "Quite a connection with sleds."

"Oh… Icefield Werewolves? It is said that they often robbed human sled teams on the icefields hundreds of years ago. It seems that there hasn't been any activity in recent years. If they are their descendants, it is possible that they have developed these strange skills."

Hao Ren continued to sigh: "No, her parents might be the ones pulling the sleds…"

"What?"

"Nothing, forget I said it," Hao Ren looked up at the surroundings and found that everyone had left the range of the fog遁 (dun - escape) (water vapor) and had completely run to an unfamiliar place, so he reached out and tugged on Lili's tail (which was closest to him), "Okay, put me down first, I'm about to throw up."

Lili was enjoying the youthful sprint of wind and speed with great enthusiasm, but this sprint in the setting sun was interrupted by someone rashly tugging her tail. She immediately exclaimed, stood still on the spot, and threw Hao Ren more than twenty meters away…

Actually, it wasn't really thrown. It should be attributed to inertia, but no matter what, Hao Ren finally crawled out of a pile of rocks twenty meters away, covered in tattered clothes, and walked towards Lili with a resentful expression: "Don't get so excited."

"No one has ever pulled my tail!" Lili looked frightened, "Only people have stepped on it! I have psychological trauma!"

Kasa Eben looked in stunned silence at this活宝 (huobao - living treasure/a lively and funny person)-like younger generation who seemed to be genuinely mentally ill, clicked his tongue, and said nothing. He just put Eamon down behind a small leeward土堆 (tudui - mound): "We should have shaken them off, right?"

"I erased our scent along the way, and turned several corners in the middle, and there were those thick fogs to block them. They shouldn't be able to catch up for the time being," Vivian looked at Eamon's miserable appearance. Although the other party was a hostile race, she couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in this situation. "Can he survive?"

"Just a penetrating wound. As long as a werewolf has a breath left, they can recover after a little rest," Kasa nodded, then slapped Eamon's face with his claw. "How long are you going to pretend to be asleep?"

"Uh…" Eamon Eben cried out in pain and opened his eyes. "Can't you let me rest for a while… hiss, it really hurts. Those demon hunters have more and more tricks. After I fainted, why did they roast me?"

Eamon was quite puzzled by the burns on the left half of his body, so he asked casually. As a result, the remaining three people on the scene glared fiercely at Lili—the simpleton didn't notice at all, and was squatting next to a stone, sharpening her claws.

"Why would so many demon hunters appear at the same time? Do they have a big operation?"

It wasn't until this time that Kasa Eben had the time to consider this serious issue.
