【Spirit Beast: Snowy Eagle】
【Strength: Early-Golden Elixir】
【Health: 50000/50000】
【Skills: Sky Strike, Iron Claw Destruction, Feather Storm, Desperate Strike】
The eagle before Lin Jichen, though a BOSS, posed no threat to him at all.
No matter how the Snowy Eagle struggled, Lin Jichen remained unmoved, riding on its head with ease.
"If you don't want to die, behave yourself," Lin Jichen shouted.
Unexpectedly, the Snowy Eagle became even more agitated.
Frustrated, Lin Jichen swung his fist and struck its head.
Even without the Qingming Sword, Lin Jichen's power was still a formidable 800 points.
Though he didn't trigger any critical or skill damage, the punch made the Snowy Eagle see stars, almost knocking it out.
The Snowy Eagle struggled desperately, but to no avail. It only received more punches from Lin Jichen.
Before long, the Snowy Eagle's health dropped to below 4000 points.
But its wild nature remained untamed, and Lin Jichen dared not continue hitting it...
One more punch, and the eagle would be done for.
Helpless, he called down to his teammates, "Help me hit it a bit, I can't risk killing it."
The girls below chuckled. Zhou Tiantian drew her bow and fired an arrow infused with mana, hitting the eagle precisely.
Jiang Luoyu said, tossing a magic orb.
Everyone was startled, almost killing the Snowy Eagle in one hit.
The barely alive Snowy Eagle finally submitted, crying out in surrender.
Lin Jichen ordered it to carry him into the prison fortress, and the Snowy Eagle had no choice but to comply. Once inside the city, Lin Jichen leapt down, landing safely in the prison.
But as soon as he landed, before he could steady himself, a large number of demonic cultivator guards rushed at him.
【Guard: Demonic Cultivator Guard】
【Strength: Early-Golden Elixir】
【Health: 42000/42000】
The guards swarmed in, surrounding him.
Lin Jichen didn't act rashly. He first twisted the entrance switch, then guarded the entrance, fighting the demonic cultivator guards.
As soon as the entrance opened, Jiang Luoyu and the others rushed in to support.
Ren Lan led the charge, like a blazing meteor, crashing into the crowd.
Her fists thundered like explosions, each punch carrying the force of ten thousand pounds, causing the air to burst with a sound like rolling thunder!
No guard could withstand a punch from Ren Lan. Those hit were sent flying, screaming in pain.
Finding her speed insufficient, Ren Lan smashed the ground with a punch, sending a dozen demonic cultivators flying. She then adjusted her angle and delivered another punch.
All the airborne demonic cultivators suffered a second wave of damage, and none could get up immediately, lying unconscious for a second or two.
Watching Ren Lan's moves, Lin Jichen couldn't help but nod in approval. It seemed she hadn't wasted her time in school.
Jiang Luoyu had it easier dealing with the monsters. With Lin Jichen and Ren Lan tanking in front, she didn't need to worry about herself, just casting skills freely.
Having started to focus on her strength, and with guidance from Lin Jichen, the top spell cultivator of his past life, Jiang Luoyu improved rapidly.
She now had the potential to become the top spell cultivator, and it could be said that no player in the spell cultivator class could surpass her.
Jiang Luoyu's spells not only dealt high damage but also benefited from her powerful talent, 'Elemental Force,' which integrated cooldown reduction, mana regeneration, damage, and growth.
Now at the Golden Core Realm, Jiang Luoyu cast spells like a magic machine gun.
It was evident from the Yan Yu Plains that Jiang Luoyu alone brought immense pressure and losses to the Eternal Guild.
In their ten-person team, Lin Jichen, Ren Lan, and Jiang Luoyu were the solid three carries.
Zhou Tiantian also performed well, shooting arrows from a distance, each hitting an enemy precisely. Sometimes she used two archer skills, dealing considerable damage.
Su Wanling, Zhao Baige, Liu Xiazi, and Shi Xiyue were more like support members, holding off the lucky small fry that managed to get through.
They were then easily dealt with by Jiang Luoyu and the others with a few skills.
However, two people surprised Lin Jichen pleasantly.
"Mark the ground as a chessboard!"
Niu Naitang, standing at the back, barely knee-high, dressed in black and white Chess Sect robes, with a cute bun on her head, looked harmless and adorable.
But the little one chanted, and after ten seconds, finally uttered a skill in a sweet, childish voice.
The ground at the prison entrance lit up with beams of light, and a phantom chessboard appeared.
All the demonic cultivator guards, including Lin Jichen and Ren Lan, seemed to become pieces on the chessboard.
But this didn't seem to have any substantial effect; the demonic cultivators showed no damage and remained lively.
However, when they attacked Lin Jichen and Ren Lan, their movements slowed down.
It was as if their speed had been reduced; previously, they could attack twice per second, but now only once.
It felt like they were under a sluggish spell, moving like a group of snails.
This wasn't just a slowdown, which only reduced movement speed.
Tang Tang's skill directly reduced all their speeds!
Everyone was astonished, and Lin Jichen was even more shocked.
A group control skill!
He had heard of some rare chess cultivator players, each an elite, though their strength couldn't make it to the rankings.
Because their combat power was too low, even less than healers, their skills were said to be only supportive, with little combat ability.
But each one was crucial to their team.
Unfortunately, Lin Jichen had never encountered a chess cultivator in his past life.
So he only knew the profession was rare and precious, but hadn't seen how powerful it could be.
From Niu Naitang's first skill, his perception of chess cultivators had increased several times.
Jiang Luoyu was as shocked as Lin Jichen, her eyes sparkling, looking at Niu Naitang as if seeing a treasure waiting to be discovered.
If this little girl could join Moon Shadow, their strength would rise to another level!
But Niu Naitang didn't think that much; she just wanted to help Lin Jichen fend off the bad guys.
"Brother Lin, go for it~ Defeat the bad guys!"
Hearing her cheer, Lin Jichen smiled brightly and gave her a thumbs-up, "Tang Tang, you're amazing. With your help, it's much easier for me."
"Hehe~" Being praised by Lin Jichen, the little one was overjoyed, her big, adorable eyes turning into crescent moons with her smile.
