“That’s right, Brother Star-Slayer, come on!” Chu Fu called out.
Chu Feng had no choice but to board the mecha first.
The fifteen people took their seats and fastened their safety belts.
Shen Chi operated the control panel, entered the coordinates, and activated the mecha.
The next moment, the mecha extended its fingers.
The thick metal fingers gleamed silver. Clearly, spatial stones had been added inside them.
Its hands tore through the air as if ripping open a canvas. A spatial rift appeared in front of them.
Shen Chi leaped inside and accelerated forward. Everything around them transformed into particles as they traveled through spacetime.
Before long, white light flashed ahead.
An icy blue landscape appeared before their eyes.
They landed in another location. The mecha rotated, and soon spotted a colossal figure in the distance.
The Son of the Frozen Snowfield!
It still had the general shape of a human, but its entire body was covered in fur, making it resemble a standing polar bear. Its hair stuck up wildly like a Chow Chow’s, and it gripped a staff condensed from ice crystals in both hands.
Chilling winds swirled around it, covering a full ten kilometers. Everywhere it passed, ice and snow spread across the ground.
Any water it touched instantly froze.
The surrounding temperature rapidly dropped below zero and continued falling. Everyone felt the cold.
Even the mecha’s hatch began to bloom with frost.
“Take the cold-resistance potions!” Chu Fu said quickly.
The Flame Demon had only been a minor monster, but the Son of the Frozen Snowfield was a boss. The temperature around it would clearly fall to an even more terrifying level.
Everyone took a cold-resistance potion. When the hatch opened, a wave of frigid air swept in.
In an instant, everyone was afflicted with Freeze.
Chu Fu discovered that her body had been covered by an entire centimeter of ice crystals.
Unbelievable!
The attack was far too powerful.
“Holy Light: Dispel!”
The Holy Healing Angel cast Holy Light, instantly dispelling the ice crystals covering them and allowing everyone to move again.
The only person who had not been affected was Chu Feng. The moment he had opened the hatch, he had already drawn his dagger and attacked the Son of the Frozen Snowfield.
In an instant, countless streams of dark shadow power erupted, and massive damage numbers appeared above the boss’s head.
It was only a level-45 boss. He would need just a few minutes to finish it off.
The boss reacted and twisted around to attack Chu Feng.
Chu Feng immediately entered stealth and vanished from the spot. He circled around behind the creature, preparing to continue his assault.
At that moment, an impassioned horn call rang out.
[War Horn] All attributes +20%.
Chu Feng’s attack power surged dramatically.
[Holy Light Shield]
[Prison of Sorrow]
[Prayer]
A series of shields descended upon Chu Feng.
He was being pampered!
This boost… Was this the power of teamwork?
Why bother staying in stealth? Just attack directly!
He immediately began dealing damage.
“Big lump of ice, let me smash you into shaved ice!”
Jiaojiao Bu Jiao also joined the fight. Her forced taunt made the boss attack her, giving Chu Feng an opportunity to deal damage.
Chu Fu and the others arrived as well.
From a distance, Chu Fu instantly summoned 300 Corn Gatling Sprites.
Each Corn Gatling Sprite was half a meter tall.
Originally, Plant Sprites were only palm-sized. Chu Fu possessed the Harvest Badge, which had made her Plant Sprites larger, but they still had not reached half a meter in height.
That was because Chu Fu had used the Spiritwood Contract to form contracts with the Corn Gatling Sprites.
Plant Sprites were plants too.
After forming the contracts, the Plant Sprites gained 80% of Chu Fu’s base attributes.
The originally semitransparent sprites became much more solid. Not only that, but they also grew to more than half a meter tall.
They had brown hair on their heads, while their clothes were green. The material looked like a combination of cornstalk leaves and the leaves surrounding the corn itself. Light yellow, pale green, and dark green blended together to form beautiful little skirts.
The Gatling guns in their hands were enormous, measuring thirty centimeters in diameter and fifty centimeters in length. They looked as though they had been made by binding five golden ears of corn together.
They were incredibly exaggerated.
It was like watching someone carry a double-door refrigerator into battle.
Plant Sprites had always been clever. The Mushroom Sprites she had charmed earlier were still guarding the spirit rice.
After forming the Spiritwood Contracts, the Corn Gatling Sprites became even smarter—like raising three hundred adult border collies.
As soon as Chu Fu summoned them, the little sprites lined up in perfect formation, creating a semicircular encirclement thirty meters wide and three meters deep. They aimed at the Son of the Frozen Snowfield.
The Gatling guns in the hands of the Corn Gatling Sprites immediately erupted with a sound even more terrifying and dense than firecrackers.
“Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!”
Before this, the Corn Gatling would pour out all its golden corn bullets, leaving behind only a bare cornstalk. At that point, it was essentially useless in combat.
Now, the Corn Gatling Sprites had mana and could use it to grow corn, reload their weapons, and maintain continuous fire.
That transformed them into weapons with infinite ammunition.
-10, -12, -9, -15 (Critical Hit!)
The Gatling guns in the hands of the Corn Gatling Sprites fired 500 bullets per second.
With 300 Corn Gatling Sprites, they unleashed 150,000 bullets every second.
Their damage per second reached 1.5 million.
A level-45 boss already had more than a hundred million HP, but this barrage dealt roughly one percent of its health every second. Killing the boss would take only 100 seconds.
With Chu Feng’s attacks and those of the others included, it took less than thirty seconds.
The boss crashed to the ground.
[System Announcement: The level-45 boss, Son of the Frozen Snowfield, has been defeated by the “Who Wants to Be a Plant Person?” team. Morgan Shelter has survived and is temporarily safe.]
Outside Linjiang Shelter, No Talking in Class was leading a team of players in fighting monsters when she blinked.
As a mathematics teacher, she was particularly sensitive to numbers.
But no matter how sharp her instincts were, she still compared the time shown in the system announcement again and again.
What was going on?
From the announcement that the boss had appeared to the announcement that Who Wants to Be a Plant Person had killed it…
How had only fifty-eight seconds passed?
They had taken less than a minute to kill it.
Even the strongest, Lu Xing, needed at least half an hour to kill a boss.
Of course, that half hour included Lu Xing’s travel time. Sometimes, when the journey was too far, Lu Xing would not even bother going to kill the boss, resulting in many shelters being overrun.
He did not care.
This map was a future map, and it updated every day. Some shelters appeared, while others vanished.
In fact, she had secretly built models and suspected that the appearance of shelters was related to whether players had protected the Novice Village.
However, in reality, she was merely a high school teacher, and she was not especially outstanding in the game either. In the end, she told no one about her suspicions.
Better to avoid trouble whenever possible.
These were troubled times, and she did not want to expose too much about herself.
Someone like Who Wants to Be a Plant Person looked only a few years older than her son, yet he was already being discussed on the dark web. Players from overseas factions had even added her as a friend to ask for specific information about Who Wants to Be a Plant Person.
There were probably plenty of spies and assassins who wanted her dead by now.
It was far too dangerous.
She still had a husband, a son, and a daughter.
She did not want to draw attention to herself.
All she could do was help the other players as much as possible in the game.
