Chapter 1137: The Wolf Sneaks Away

The poisonous gas in the forest might have weakened Lin Qiao’s sense of smell. But thankfully, she could still roughly sense the surrounding scents.
“Roar!” The black wolf, who was suffering the torment given by Lin Qiao’s black fire, suddenly uttered a fierce roar and released a strong stream of ice power from its head, covering its entire body with ice. Soon, its soft and smooth hair stood up and froze like ice thorns.
It had managed to freeze Lin Qiao’s fire! Before long, the ice on the wolf’s body cracked and fell. With that, the wolf king who had long and black hair became a fur-less wolf.
The wolf swiftly turned around and pounced on the bear who was flipping its limbs. It widely opened its mouth and sent a cloud of icy mist to the bear.
The ice mist spread from before the wolf’s mouth and covered a hundred meters within a blink, with the bear within that area. The surrounding trees were all turned into ice statues as well; even the treetops, which were over a hundred meters away from the ground, had turned white and frozen.
The coldness spread, and countless animals and insects which managed to survive in the poisonous forest were frozen.
The enormous bear, which had been hopping around, was suddenly covered in ice. Then, it stopped moving and paused with a weird posture.
All that happened within a blink of an eye.
As the bear was frozen, the wolf immediately pounced on it, wielding its claws to attack it. Meanwhile, it sent a huge wave of sharp ice thorns toward the other.
If the bear didn’t show up and repeatedly hinder it from hunting its prey, it might have brought down the nearly disabled level-nine man long ago instead of wasting the time until a stronger enemy showed up.
As Lan Lu and Lin Qiao, who were both at level-eight, showed up to protect the level-nine man, the wolf instantly realized that its hunt had been ruined. It could charge again, but there would never be another chance to get the level-nine man. On the contrary, it might be suppressed by the two weird level-eight people and end up as a prey itself.
Therefore, the wolf gave up on the level-nine man. In the meantime, he grew rage toward the bear who had caused it quite some trouble. It didn’t intend to risk its own life fighting the bear though.
The bear was frozen for only a few seconds. After that, it instinctively released its power to free itself from the wolf’s ice.
Boom!
Fire power erupted from its body and blasted the ice off the surface of its body. The scorching fire energy exploded like a bomb and created a tens of meters wide pit on the ground, blowing away all the trees and rocks nearby along with the wolf’s ice thorns. Waves of hot air spread out and soon covered up the coldness, melting the ice-age-like scene that the wolf had created just now.
Lin Qiao moved out of the blast range when the bear’s fire power erupted and then watched the ground being burnt black with a huge pit on it.
“Eh?” She turned with her expression changed. She felt that the wolf’s vibe had moved quite away from the battlefield. She didn’t even notice when it ran away. It had probably taken advantage of the blast and fled when the bear’s power erupted.
The wolf was careful and cautious. As the situation was turning bad for itself, it instantly found a way out. Before leaving, he even used the bear, its old opponent, to draw away the enemy’s attention.
One had gotten away, but the other one was still there. Lin Qiao decided to finish off the bear first. It was an enormous bear after all, pretty fat. Aside from its nucleus, she also planned to slice the bear and soak it in the lake water, store it as food for her zombie soldiers.
Lan Lu reacted not as fast as Lin Qiao did, and he was carrying an unconscious, tall and strong man. But still, he managed to dodge the fire and blast, draw back to the side.
He saw Lin Qiao charge at the gigantic bear once he landed on the ground.
The bear had just released all its power and was feeling very comfortable at the moment. As it prepared to shake its fur, an instinctive sense of danger occurred to it. It immediately turned around and stared at Lin Qiao with its pair of beady eyes.
Lin Qiao rushed up to the bear, then leaped high and swung her claws down at the bear a few times in a row before throwing a huge, black fireball at the bear.
“Roar…” Seeing Lin Qiao swing her claws at it, the bear was a little confused at first. In the next second, it heard a shrill sound and sensed a sharp vibe coming at it. The bear trusted its strong skin, so it raised both paws to shield its head.
Puff! Puff! Puff! But soon, it sensed a pain from its paws as if something had cut into its skin.
“Roar!” The bear’s face was twisted. It howled in pain, then flinched and bent over, standing on all fours. At that very moment, a black fireball which was as huge as its own body descended toward it.
Level-eight mutated beasts weren’t much harder to kill than the level-seven ones. The claw move that Lin Qiao made just now could cut a building into pieces. However, the bear only suffered a few shallow wounds on its skin.
Thankfully, her black fire soon landed on the bear’s body. After launching the attack, Lin Qiao landed on the clearing nearby, then raised her hands to control her fire. The fireball suddenly expanded and wrap the bear up once it touched the bear.
“Roar…” Being wrapped in Lin Qiao’s dark fire, the bear raised a great crisis awareness. It struggled and started running while releasing a red energy from its skin as it attempted to push away her dark fire like it pushed away the wolf’s ice power just now.
But, the result wasn’t the same as expected. The dark fire on its skin expanded a little when the bear’s energy suddenly gushed out of its body and made it look like a giant black ball. However, the dark fire didn’t leave its body. On the contrary, it absorbed the bear’s energy and turned that into a part of itself.
So, in the end, the bear was running about aimlessly while the dark fire on its body grew stronger and stronger.
“Roar!” Bang! The bear couldn’t see. Soon, it rushed out of the area which was swept across by its energy just now and bumped into a tree. The giant tree was easily pressed down to the ground while the bear bounced back and made a few rolls on the ground before struggling. With both angry and anxiety, it uttered a series of raging roars.
“Roar!”
