through the dark road

Ned, who was in the teleportation window, saw the bear-man approaching in an instant. His long stick swept across, and the ice hit the bear-man's side like a huge wave. The momentum was deflected, and the bear's claws brought scorching air waves and sparks from Ned's body. It flashed in front of me, and there was a ear-piercing sonic boom.

The snow monster regrouped its body and appeared ghostly behind the bear man. This time, it hugged the bear man by the waist and lifted him up. The bear man, with his feet dangling in the air, could only twist his body and bump his elbow, and hit the snow monster's shoulder. Shai was able to get out of trouble, but it was too late.

Ned pointed his long stick at him and said with a smile:

"Do you really think I'll be at your mercy once I get close?"

Four ice spikes hit the chest, knocking the bearman and the snow monster that lost an arm and flying backwards. Unexpectedly, the bearman stepped out of the air and sent a shock wave, hitting against the ice spikes. Ned only felt his ears As soon as it tightened, I fell into a dizzy state.

The bear man twisted his waist and rolled on the ground, his four claws scratching the earth and rocks. He approached Ned again and tore out one claw with all his strength, but only scattered a bolt of lightning.

He grinned his cheeks, revealing a rough and proud smile. The touch of the tips of his claws told him that Ned's teleportation was still a little slow due to dizziness.

Ned, who flashed in the distance, staggered and looked at the scratches on his arms. Under the cracks in the leather armor were curls of charred flesh, and he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The bear-man's fur was covered with frost-white ice crystals. He raised his claws and scratched his chest, and dug out a piece of blood-colored ice from the wound where his flesh and blood had frozen. To the bear-man, this wound was just a scratch.

"Come again!"

He crushed the ice particles nonchalantly, glanced at the snow monster that was disintegrating on its own, and thought about how to deal with this stumbling block.

With a huge breakthrough in displacement ability, thick skin and thick flesh, and continuous stuns from the ram and shock wave, he was confident enough to suppress Ned.

"Don't you feel a little cold?" Ned asked.

Alvin pointed to his chest:

"You're talking about this? It's okay, the freezing will stop the bleeding! Hehe!"

"That's not necessarily the case..."

Ned freed up a hand, pointed it at Alvin, and clicked his tongue unbearably:

"How about you give up? I can't do it."

Alvin simply ignored him and launched a charge with his head lowered. Upon seeing this, Ned shrugged helplessly. The moment he made a fist with his hand, he heard a scalp-numbing tearing sound, and the bearman was shocked. , countless bloody ice spikes pierced out from under the thick fur, the huge body fell stiffly, and rolled to Ned's feet with the inertia.

"Fuck..." Mo Bei was startled at first, and then immediately stepped forward and found that Alvin had been completely frozen, and the blood in his body had turned into ice spikes and penetrated his flesh. It looked really miserable. Fortunately, Ned avoided the important thing. The organs and vitality are relatively stable, but if they are thawed, most of the blood will be lost immediately.

He continuously released holy light on his hands for treatment, while Ned withdrew the ice soul from his body. The blood-colored ice spikes immediately dissolved, and the bear man's body went limp. He sprayed it a few times like a showerhead, and the wound was healed. heal.

Alvin returned to his human form and woke up leisurely. He looked as if he had been drunk. He probably had a brain freeze and temporarily lost his memory. After a while, he remembered what happened just now after being reminded several times, with a look of annoyance on his face:

"No...this is impossible. Is my high ice resistance fake?"

Ned curled his lips:

"You underestimate the elemental spirit body too much. You don't take it seriously if the surface of the body is covered with ice crystals. You don't take it seriously if there are broken ice deep in the wound. I reminded you that you don't feel cold yet you are still so careless..."

Alvin was speechless, seeing everyone coming up to him, covering his face in depression.

The bullshit was exaggerated just now. .

Raven couldn't wait to transform into a bear, jumping back and forth from the side, but couldn't get in.

"How did you figure this out..."

The bear-man scratched his head and asked Alvin to clarify his doubts.

Although Alvin failed to realize his bold words just now and was tortured in public, seeing that there were still people who recognized his training results, most of his depression disappeared immediately, he waved his hand and said:

"It's simple, just think about using your feet as hands, and it will come naturally."

"Using your feet as hands? How did you train?"

Ned interjected:

"What kind of training? This is actually a special skill he developed because of his laziness..."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Raven was confused.

"I refused to work conscientiously since I was a child. In order not to bend down, I used my feet to dig holes to sow seeds and seedlings, pull weeds and pick beans, etc. Later, I developed to the point where I could rub straw ropes with my feet, regardless of whether it saves effort. In short, If you can do it without taking action, you will feel that you have made a profit.”

Mo Bei was speechless. He looked at Akali and saw her nodding helplessly, confirming that what Ned said was true. To say that this guy is physically strong and mentally disabled, he has also done things that ordinary people can't do. .

LaVine's reaction was similar, and he was not sure for a moment whether he had made a mistake in the training camp. .

"If you have an idea, you have a direction." Mo Bei said:

"It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to train your feet to be as flexible as him..."

"Hmm..." Raven raised his broad bear paw to look at it and nodded numbly.

Only then did Mo Bei remember the business, and took out the strange crystal cluster and handed it to Perona. In order not to cause subjective influence, he did not even explain the origin of this thing and some previous speculations.

There was a trace of curiosity in Perona's eyes as quiet as a deep lake. She took the crystal cluster into her hand and looked back and forth under the light.

After just one glance, her eyes froze, and she had obviously discovered that there was something inside it, and the amount of information it contained was extremely huge.

Serena never showed up, but she must have been united with Perona to jointly analyze the secrets hidden in this crystal.

Mo Bei had been paying attention to the changes in her expression, and saw that the already deep eyes seemed to be a little darker, reflecting the sporadic light spots on the crystal, giving her an indescribable sense of mystery.

"What is this? It won't have any negative impact on Perona, right?" Alvin was talkative as usual, raising his own questions and concerns.

Mo Bei pursed his lips, shook his head and said:

"To be honest, I don't know, but I have a hunch that even if this thing doesn't help us, it won't do any harm."

"Is your hunch accurate?" Alvin expressed doubt.

"It's pretty accurate. I had a hunch before the fight started that you were going to suffer."

"...You have so little confidence in me?"

"Looking at your loud tone, I thought you had mastered spellcasting in bear form." Mo Bei shrugged:

"It's too reckless to cancel the transformation and teleportation. If Ned wanted to kill him, you would probably be overturned by then."

Alvin felt a little depressed after hearing this judgment and said:

"It's so difficult to cast spells in bear form. I doubt anyone can do it..."

Raven heard the topic about druids and joined in:

"I heard from seniors in the elemental department that animal transformation would greatly weaken magic affinity. After he used the skills given by the wolf head to transform, he couldn't cast any of the spells he had at his fingertips. It was like he had completely forgotten about it."

"Yes, that's how it feels...even for those who are proficient in the element system, let alone our transformation system..."

Mo Bei said:

"At least you can still use Flame Claw. I think as long as you still retain the ability to call elements, there should be hope."

"That's what I said, but so far, I really don't have a clue..." Alvin sighed.

Mo Bei looked at Perona and saw that there had been no changes yet. Anyway, nothing happened, so he said quietly:

"I have heard of a way to make people enterprising."

"What? Say it, say it!" Alvin's eyes lit up. Mo Bei's methods had never let him down in the past.

"You cut off the source of all evil and cut off distracting thoughts, but if you want a breakthrough, there is a way to do it."

"..."

"It will grow back anyway, so you might as well give it a try."

"..."
