Chapter 88: Unreliable teammates

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lan Xuanyu pulled Qian Lei and waved his left hand out to summon four ice awls that went flying towards the four lava hounds charging at them. All of them let out a shrill cry and one fell to the ground with a shard of ice sticking out of its eye.

Qian Lei only felt that Lan Xuanyu was using too much force on his right arm, his figure was clearly bulkier than him but he was easily pulled.

“Get down,” Lan Xuanyu yelled. Qian Lei didn’t think and got down immediately, then, he felt the ground becoming slippery and he slid away.

He shrieked in shock and only realized then that there was a layer of ice that appeared beneath him. He was pushed away by Lan Xuanyu on top of this layer of ice.

Lan Xuanyu pushed Qian Lei out and without him weighing him down, his speed increased dramatically. His body shook as he took a step to the right, then to the left. He actually escaped the joint attack of the Lava hounds and although the robe he was wearing was torn and in pieces, he didn’t hurt himself.

On the other side, Liu Feng had already run over to the side of the walls but just like what Qian Lei mentioned just now, his attack wasn’t strong enough and even the Lava hounds that he attacked before didn’t suffer any lethal injuries. There were seven to eight Lava hounds that were chasing behind him relentlessly and he relied on his incredible speed to run around in the colosseum. The Lava hounds wouldn’t be able to catch up with him for a while.

But it was without a doubt that these three children, who were about seven to eight years old, were at an impasse.

Lan Xuanyu was very doubtful that Liu Feng and Qian Lei even passed the primary test previously.

Lan Xuanyu charged past the Lava hounds’ attack and quickly ran in Qian Lei’s direction. He couldn’t just leave him behind and the Lava hounds following them were already pouncing forward.

Lan Xuanyu relied on his flexible footwork to dodge but he was still little after all and his speed couldn’t be compared to these Lava hounds. There were so many Lava hounds running after him and they were about to swallow him whole.

Just at this moment, Lan Xuanyu lifted his left hand in Qian Lei’s direction and over ten strands of Silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass immediately charged in his direction. Then, he yelled, “Pull me.” And as he shouted, he had already jumped on it.

Qian Lei grabbed hold of Lan Xuanyu’s Blue Silver Grass and pulled it hard. He was immediately pulled towards Lan Xuanyu swiftly, widening the distance between him and the Lava hounds.

‘There are way too many!’

Lan Xuanyu didn’t think that they would be able to win but at this time, he didn’t have any other ideas and could only press on.

He turned around, waved his left hand and many ice awls shot out, but, before the ice awls could hit those Lava hounds, they exploded under Lan Xuanyu’s control and became a thick ice fog.

The Lava hounds clearly hated this sort of low-temperature attack. Plus, with the ice fog, their speed slowed down quite substantially.

“Liu Feng, come over!” Lan Xuanyu shouted and pulled Qian Lei as he ran in the direction of Liu Feng. Right now, they would only have a chance of fighting off so many enemies if they fought together. After Qian Lei released the Gate of Summoning, he was basically useless. He needed some time to recover before he could summon another one again.

“How long more do you need?” Lan Xuanyu turned his head and asked Qian Lei whom he was pulling.

Qian Lei looked helpless, “About half an hour, that little cat didn’t use up too much of my Spiritual Power and Spirit Power.”

His spirit was seriously unreliable; each time he used his Spirit Skill, the amount of power used up would depend on what he summoned and nobody could be certain of this.

The corners of Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched. He knew that in order to win, he could only hope that a miracle would happen in the form of Qian Lei summoning a strong spirit beast.

“I’m coming!” Liu Feng became a white light and quickly charged towards Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei, he’s fast but it was a little too much.

Seeing that white figure coming closer yet it didn’t seem to be slowing down, Lan Xuanyu yelled, “Stop.”

“I...” Liu Feng wanted to stop but he was already at full speed just now and he couldn’t.

“Bang——”

All three of them crashed and became a rolling gourd.

Lan Xuanyu wanted to cry. What kind of teammates are these? No wonder there were only the two of them in this group, they were truly the most unreliable ones in class. He didn’t like Ye Lingtong but she was definitely more reliable than them eh!

And at this moment, the Lava hounds had already surrounded them.

“Qian Lei, get ready to summon another beast. I’ll help you hold them back for a while.” Lan Xuanyu spoke as his left hand quickly pressed on the ground, his Spirit Power was then released at full force.

Many thick ice thorns suddenly drilled out from the ground and protected the three people inside it.

These ice thorns were about one meter long and the three people were small in size, so with the protection coming from the ice around them, they isolated themselves from the danger coming from the Lava hounds.

More than half of Lan Xuanyu’s Spirit Power was consumed by releasing these; he was only rank 14 after all!

The Lava hounds were too fast, they charged forward and were immediately pierced by the ice thorns as they wailed and retreated. Other than the one that Lan Xuanyu had pierced in the eye, there were a total of 49 Lava hounds around them. They were staring at them and howling non-stop but soon enough, they finally stopped their attacks. These Lava hounds were merely 10-year spirit beasts after all.

“Aiyo, we’re finally safe, it really scared me to death,” Qian Lei shouted and sat on the floor.

Lan Xuanyu said in exasperation, “You guys won this elementary training before?”

Qian Lei then said, “We won once! That time, I summoned a giant bear and slapped these Lava hounds till they cried out for their daddies and mommies. Haha, even 100-year spirit beasts couldn’t defeat it. The 100-year Lava hounds sprayed fireballs on it and it wasn’t hurt at all. But my Spiritual Power was overdrawn that time and I had to rest for two full days before I could recover.”

“What did you say?” Lan Xuanyu’s expression stiffened because he caught a few important points from what Qian Le said.

‘100-year Lava hounds, fireballs...’

‘That’s right! There are still three 100-year spirit beasts that haven’t appeared and they are actually Lava hounds that spit fireballs...’

Ordinary Lava hounds were unable to enter the ice thorns but in the end, they were made of ice — they could melt! The body heat of an ordinary Lava hound could already melt the ice thorns, those fireballs coming from the 100-year lava hounds could even be hotter.

“Bang——” A couple of ice thorns broke as a fire blazed outside.

In a distance, three gigantic Lava hounds that were over 1.8 tall slowly made their way over. That fireball just now was sprayed by one of them and the other two had smoke coming out of their mouths. It was obvious that more fireballs would be coming their way.

‘We’re doomed...’

Lan Xuanyu was helpless. It was not bad if his ice thorns could even block off one more fireball.

But as he expected, two fireballs came flying over.

“Let me do it!” Liu Feng moved. He leaped and his body hovered in mid-air as his body flashed its radiance. This was his first Spirit Skill, White Dragon Flash!

He raised the White Dragon Spear in his hand and picked a fireball from the side. The fireball immediately changed its direction and actually flew towards the Lava hounds. His Spirit Ring continued flashing and he actually changed his direction in the air, but this was clearly a little too much and he now found himself about to charge straight into another fireball.

The strands of the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass appeared behind him at the perfect time. They wrapped around his waist and with that, the White Dragon Spear finally managed to change the direction of the other one.

“Boom, boom!” Two fireballs exploded and countless sparks were scattered. Seven to eight 10-year Lava hounds were hit and howled in agony, and it also made the group of dogs slightly confused.

The silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass pulled Liu Feng back from the air but his face was already very pale. Both of his hands were bleeding and he didn’t appear to have the strenght to fight anymore.
