Station N live broadcast room, main storyline channel.
[Wait a minute, wait a minute, I went out to get a takeaway. What did I miss?]
[I have never seen anything in the more than ten years I have been in the trap... I have never seen this scene.jpg]
[Good guy, these humanoid ice sculptures are all over the place. It seems that the collective poisoning last year is far from their upper limit]
[Only the Hingjian family dares to do this hhhh, if ordinary people would have something wrong with Hingjian]
[What is going on? I think the third elder’s eyes almost looked like Kentero’s. It doesn’t look like his conspiracy]
[Following the common routine...is the ice puppet going berserk? 】
Just as the audience was chattering and discussing the plot, the scene suddenly changed. A short video from a few days ago began to play back on the channel.
It was a late night with a blizzard raging. The adventurers headed by Asaki quietly sneaked into the library of Snow Mountain Villa, trying to search for information. The camera swept across the scattered ancient books, and then slowly settled on a page of yellowed paper and some blurry handwriting next to the picture.
[However, no matter how powerful the magic is, it will still be limited by the caster himself. ]
[If the caster attempts to control magic beyond his own ability and creates an ice puppet that is too powerful - then the magical creation with spirituality will undoubtedly backfire on the magician. ]
[Maybe it will break free from the magician's control, maybe it will fall into sleep and ignore the magician's call, or maybe...]
[It will freeze every inch of land, every monster, and every person. ]
[Reading this, magician from the future - I hope you will not be destroyed by your own arrogance. ]
The deliberately interspersed memory segments soon ended, and the camera of the main channel once again focused on the figure of the giant ice elephant on the blue lake. After this prompt, the audience also suddenly realized.
[Understood, so the third elder mobilized too much magic power and couldn't control it and was killed]
[It was still a map cannon-style counterattack, and all the moving creatures on the mountain were completely frozen...]
[At any rate, none of the players were frozen in hhh]
[There are no contestants’ Pokémon either... Uh, why did Asaki’s floating bubble turn into a lump of ice?]
[So the key point is not players or NPCs, but ice-type Pokémon and ice-type people who will be frozen? ? 】
[Ice type www www person www]
[Then the problem comes, now the tasks of the two camps of contestants are also frozen...]
[Isn’t Brother Xiuzhi’s mission to assist the third elder to create a giant ice puppet to conquer the Snowy Mountain Villa? Now he has conquered it, right?hhh]
[That has to be conquered with a giant ice doll, and the unlucky doll will turn into water]
[Is Beidou considered half done? To be honest, I always thought that the task of letting the tribesmen recognize the truth was more difficult...]
[Are you, Brother Beidou, something that ordinary people can predict? jpg]
[The problem is that the whole clan is about to be wiped out. If we don’t do something to protect the clan, the mission will fail.]
[It’s definitely too late to knock the ice cubes one by one. Do you want to smash the elephant into pieces? ? 】
[Snowy battle, the scene becomes more and more mysterious every year...]
People were chatting lively when they suddenly noticed that the personal live broadcast rooms on the right went dark one by one. At the same time, a line of words popped up on the gray screen.
"Due to the impact of the snowstorm, in order to ensure the quality of the live broadcast, the individual live broadcasts of the contestants located on the top of the Snowy Mountain have been suspended. Please go to the main storyline live room to watch the competition...?" Some viewers read out the prompt in confusion.
Such a situation has never appeared in previous snowstorm battles. However, considering that the snowstorm on the top of the mountain was indeed too severe - and that the Himi family always did not play by common sense, the audience did not think much and gathered on the main channel one after another.
"Mr. Jean, is this all right?"
The staff member managing the live broadcast wiped his sweat and looked at the silver-haired young man aside.
Starting from the melting of the giant ice doll, everything was out of their control. If the lord of Fengxue Mountain hadn't already said hello and Jean was at the scene, I'm afraid they would have stopped the live broadcast and called for an ambulance.
Gene nodded.
His expression was very calm, and even when he witnessed the scene where all the clan members were instantly frozen, he only frowned slightly - as a rare professional trainer in Snow Mountain Villa and the only active executive officer, only he could sit in this position. The command seat of the battle.
And commanders must never be dominated by panic, no matter how dire the situation is.
The young man's eyes swept across the vast snowfield and the adventurer in white. He tapped the earphone and conveyed the instructions to the trainer on the other side.
On the top of the snowy mountain, beside the blue lake.
Ikawa Hidechi stared at the huge figure vaguely visible on the other side of the blizzard, and felt something was wrong.
Of course he knows that the Snowstorm Battle is different from most events. Every year, it produces big news that is enough to make eight hot searches. Last year, in order to vividly interpret the appearance of being sucked away by ghosts, this group of "dedicated" Himi tribe members took poisonous powder collectively, which frightened more than one netizen to call them an ambulance - for these southerners with numerous criminal records , it doesn’t seem so weird to freeze yourself. At least for those with ice abilities, the damage caused by being frozen seems to be far less severe than being poisoned.
But he still felt a strange feeling lingering in his heart, as if the intuition derived from biological instinct sounded the alarm in a crisis. The yellow-haired boy raised his head - behind the howling wind and snow, the giant elephant seemed to be moving slowly.
Before he could think about it carefully, there was a sudden rustling sound from the headset attached to the mask.
Xiuzhi paused as he was about to move forward. He turned around and saw that his teammates were also listening. Apparently everyone received communications from staff.
Due to the earthquake, the ice caps under their feet had shown signs of collapse, and it was recommended that the contestants retreat to a safe place for the time being. After receiving the prompt, the young trainers did not think anything else and rushed to solid rocky ground away from the lake. Now that the story is reaching a critical moment, they don't want to exit by falling into an ice pit.
At the last moment before turning around, Ikawa Hidechi seemed to catch a glimpse of a light.
Although blocked by heavy wind and snow, the blue light that represents the power of the waveguide is still shining brightly.
——On the vast white snow, the adventurer stood in the strong wind and held on to his headset.
"learn."
The sharp iron sword pointed towards the sky, and the blue light wrapped around the blade and climbed straight up, then straight into the sky, creating a comet-like light tail in the snowstorm. Even though the bad weather had seriously hindered vision, the gorgeous crystal blue still penetrated the wind and snow and reached the eyes of Terashima Riku and Terashima Ryusei.
The next moment, the three of them started at the same time. The Nanguo siblings circled to the left and right respectively, while Beidou rushed straight towards the giant ice elephant. The team divided into three groups and stepped onto the frozen lake.
The flash of light in the air was the code they had already decided on - the Pokémon's burly body appeared accompanied by white light. The two siblings jumped up at the same time and stood firm on their partner's hard turtle shell.
Blastoises are not good at running on land. If the battlefield is on snow, it will take a lot of time just to cross half the lake and approach the giant ice elephant. But now, they were stepping on the slippery ice - the Blastoise lay prone, retracted its feet, and strong water spurted out from the shell, pushing the Pokémon's body to slide quickly on the ice. . In just a short moment, they approached the feet of the giant ice elephant.
The behemoth in the center of the lake is moving step by step towards the altar on the shore. The closer you get, the more you realize just how tall and terrifying it is. The giant elephant's body is like a moving hill, and every step it takes makes the lake and the earth shake together. Humans and Pokémon appear as small as ants in front of it. Once they are stepped on by the giant elephant's thick four legs, they may be dead in an instant.
——But the Blastoises and their trainers showed no intention of backing down.
From the moment the signal sounded, Lijiu and Long Xing immediately realized that everything before them was no longer a competition or a script, but a real battlefield and enemies full of murderous intent. Just recalling the appearance of their friends frozen in the ice, with their lives and deaths uncertain, a fiery anger swept through the chests of the southerners, leaving no room for weak emotions.
When the Blastoise and the giant beast were close to the limit, the Terashima siblings on the left and right sides gave orders as if they had a clear understanding.
"Tidal wave!"
Huge dark blue vortices bloomed on the ice at the same time, accurately covering the ice elephant's two front feet. The sudden resistance stunned the giant creature - at the same time, dazzling firelight fell from the sky and hit the ice elephant's head, reflecting the blizzard on the top of the mountain red.
The ice monster struggled in the firelight, trying to move its front feet. The fire-breathing dragon in the distant sky increased its firepower mercilessly, and the blazing golden-red flames were like meteorites falling from the sky, almost completely swallowing the giant elephant's huge body. The water vapor rose up like an explosion, covering most of the blue lake in a vast white mist.
Xiaoye stopped right in front of the ice elephant, and the invisible waveguide power penetrated everything in the fog and snow. She clearly sensed that the rising white mist was just the product of the collision between the flames and the tidal wave of the water arrow turtle. The ice elephant's body showed no sign of melting in the fire - just like the stinging jellyfish on the Bailang River. Just like the crazy lip baby in the town.
The giant ice elephant roared irritably, waving its proboscis and slamming forward. Xiao Ye dodged to the side as expected, and just as she jumped into the air, the crystal blue light shot to high places again like fireworks.
The Terashima siblings stationed on the left and right raised their heads alertly.
Three consecutive flashes... is the code to "retreat quickly and prepare for impact"!
The two of them ordered the Water Arrow Turtle to stop releasing the tidal whirlpool without hesitation and evacuate backwards as quickly as possible. Half-kneeling on the carapace of the Water Arrow Turtle, Lijiu turned around and vaguely saw a dazzling golden electric light rising into the sky from where Beidou was, merging with the flames and focusing on the head of the giant beast.
Water flow, electric shock, and fire—all trainers understand what this combination means.
The Terashima siblings were so frightened by their boss's overly exciting tactics that their voices changed their tone, and they hurriedly instructed the Water Arrow Turtle to use guard to protect themselves. At the same time as the green light shield was erected, a loud noise like a landslide and earth cracking came from the center of the lake - a large amount of hydrogen gas produced by ionization came into contact with the flame, resulting in a violent explosion!
For a moment, the earthquake and tremors were almost catastrophic, and Long Xing even began to worry whether the ice sculptures on the shore would be shaken to pieces, including people and ice. After a while, the white mist and smoke cleared, and the siblings could see the ice elephant clearly again - they stared at the huge creature with cracks all over its body, their eyes widening.
Xiao Ye hid behind the broken ice and calmly looked at the figure of the giant beast.
Dense cracks began to spread on the surface of its body, as if it would fall apart at the next moment. But the detection of the power of the waveguide has already made the adventurers know the truth - at the last moment before the explosion, a layer of ice shell suddenly emerged from the surface of the giant elephant's body, blocking most of the impact from it like a shield. A few seconds later, the shattered shell fell to the ground, revealing the still smooth and flawless body of the behemoth.
There is no doubt that this is not a reaction that an inanimate puppet can make autonomously.
The Pichu on the trainer's shoulder screamed in panic. Xiao Ye raised her head, and was shocked to see the giant ice beast lowering its head slightly, and oppressive cold air flowed along the ground, as if it was looking angrily at the humans who tried to hurt it. Dazzling white light began to gather in its mouth - huge ice balls shot out like bullets, slamming into the tiny creatures on the ground.
The figure of the purple ghost flashed behind the trainer. The invisible force dragged her and Pichu flying high into the sky, barely avoiding the blow that could break through mountains and crack rocks. Even so, the violent shock wave made the electric mouse dizzy and almost fell down.
The young trainer was not panicked. Although the gap in strength and physique was so huge that it was hopeless, she still firmly grasped the opponent's weakness of being unable to move dexterously, and in a few seconds she was able to reach the blind spot of the giant elephant's attack range.
Beidou tapped the earphone lightly, and his calm voice followed the electronic signal and spread far down the mountain.
"Report - After testing, we found that someone is manipulating the ice elephant."
Hundreds of meters away, in Fengxue Mountain Villa, a silver-haired young man stared at the screen with cold eyes.
"Received." Jean said, "I will investigate the area outside the mountain top, and you will be responsible for the interior."
"yes."
Ten seconds later, the young man's voice came from the headset again.
"Including the bottom of the lake, there are no abnormalities in the area near Canglan Lake."
"What about the ice elephant itself?"
"The power of the waveguide cannot detect its body, I need to get closer to it."
The adventurer in white and the ghost Pokémon landed gently on the ground together, looking at the blurry figure of the giant beast in the wind and snow with his clear purple eyes.
"-Please give me three minutes."
As the words fell, the white light of the elf ball flickered in the wind and snow, blooming together with the cold light of the sharp blade and the crystal blue light.
Over the rift valley shrouded in thick fog, two Pokémon that looked like seven-star ladybugs were flying silently.
As one of the races that are best at detecting in the super power system, after receiving the instructions from their master Jean, the two Eolups locked onto the abnormal place almost instantly.
Somewhere in the rift valley, there is a steady stream of high-energy sound waves being emitted towards the high-altitude mountain tops. There is no doubt that it is the source of the signal that controls the ice elephant - for an insect Pokémon that uses sound as a weapon, that is almost The sun is even more obvious in the dark night.
Micro cameras are attached to the waists of the two Pokémon, allowing the trainer to clearly see things in the rift that should not be there - at the end of the river, a dark ship is floating on the water, which looks extremely weird. .
The Ladybug Pokémon cautiously approached the black ship. Before they could get close to the water, the ice puppets that were supposed to be just decorations by the river suddenly began to twitch. The slender arms turned into spikes and struck Iolup in the air without any warning.
It all happened suddenly - but the three young men who had the same experience yesterday had already shared the information with the entire clan. Jean, who had anticipated this for a long time, took his time and gave the order into the headset.
The shimmering reflective wall instantly stood up, slamming the ice puppet's arm back. At the same time, the dazzling pink-purple color spread with another ladybug Pokémon at the center, covering a hundred meters in radius.
With the blessing of the spiritual field, Yiulupu was able to exert far greater combat power than usual - seeing that the ice puppets did not pursue them immediately, Jean realized that these monsters were indeed controlled by someone.
The young man glanced at the dark ship in the picture and gave the order with a sneer. The two Ladybug Pokémon flew back and forth in the mental field, making piercing chirping sounds in unison.
The noise of insects is not enough to shatter the ice doll's body, but it is more than enough to hinder its control. The group of ice puppets wandering along the river bank stiffened one after another, twitching like malfunctioning robots.
Before the sound waves were completely blocked, the bodies of the ice puppets began to crack inch by inch. Ferocious ice flowers bloomed from their chests - and Gene certainly knew what this meant.
The huge explosion resounded through the valley, but it didn't touch the Pokémon at all. The radiance of the spiritual field surrounded the figures of the Europs, and surged out together with the tsunami-like spiritual power, carrying the ice dolls' nearly broken bodies and flying into the sky together.
The wide-area combat power, the strongest killing move in the spiritual field, pushed the impact of the explosion far away, while its partners also released their own power without reservation. The mental strong will turned into a sharp blade that cut iron like mud, severely cutting the black ship in half, and the splashing sparks illuminated the rift valley brightly.
Amidst the successive explosions, the sound wave transmitters loaded on the ship were reduced to a pile of ruins and could no longer make any sound. However, the Orups did not pay any attention to the damaged ship. They left as silently as they came, rushing to the next source of sound.
On the battlefield where the blizzard was raging, Xiaoye faintly noticed that the giant elephant's movements began to become sluggish.
She vaguely guessed that Jean's work had made progress, and immediately took the opportunity to speed up her progress.
Fighting against the mountainous behemoth is not an easy task. Almost no Pokémon can cause effective damage to it, and even the huge explosion created by gathering the power of the team can only make it drop a thin layer of ice shell. The three trainers running on the frozen lake could only do their best to hold back the giant beast and prevent it from approaching the people on the shore.
The Blastoise uses its rocket head hammer to break through the ice, creating large and small holes. The ice beast, whose body was too heavy, accidentally got its four legs stuck in it. It stepped on the lake water under the ice and was unable to use its strength for a while. It was trapped in place and could not move.
Xiaoye patted the ghost on the back. Ghost Stone carried the trainer and flew close to the ground, speeding forward. They avoided the heavy ice balls and the violently waving proboscis, running hard through the scattered ice and sand and stones, and finally got close to the cold body of the giant beast.
In the drone footage, it almost looks like a moth striking a mountain. Once the giant elephant breaks free from the ice cave, it may easily crush humans who are too close into powder. I don't know how many viewers took a breath at this moment - but the adventurer had no intention of retreating. Ghost Stone easily carried the trainer into the air and hovered close to the ice elephant's body.
Xiaoye knew very well that unlike the two or three-meter-tall ice idol, such a huge ice elephant could not be integrated inside. There must be an energy center somewhere within its body that drives it to action - and that's what she wants to find, the weakness of the ice beast.
The ice monster is still struggling fiercely and is about to escape from the ice cave. The ghost has always been fearless. It hovers around the giant elephant, allowing the trainer on its back to have a panoramic view of every detail.
The light purple eyes calmly reflected the monster's angry struggle - she saw the tip of the Ice Elephant's long nose that was waving wildly like a war hammer with a faint white light, and the same light seemed to be flowing on its back. Xiao Ye guessed that these two places might be considered "important organs" for Han Bing's creation.
The giant beast's movements became slower and slower, as if the voice instructing it were gradually becoming fainter. Ghost Stone took the opportunity to spin around, dodge and move in the hail of bullets, and plunged into its belly.
There was a faint sound of explosions coming from the distant mountain side.
When the fourth ship was finally reduced to ruins by the majestic spiritual power, the sound waves covering the top of the snowy mountain finally completely dissipated. The huge ice elephant's figure paused and solidified into a sluggish ice sculpture.
But the good times didn't last long.
Just like an ice puppet that has been cut off from contact will immediately explode and self-destruct - on the frozen blue lake, the hill-like beast roared. It stepped hard on the ice, and its waving proboscis brought up a storm, hitting the fire-breathing dragon in the air hard.
Charizard, who was releasing hot wind to disperse the wind and snow, was caught off guard and failed to dodge in time. The warhammer-like nose slammed into its left wing, causing the Flame Dragon to fall feebly from the air in an instant. The Ice Giant's movements were without pause, and he kicked out with his thick front feet, kicking the Water Arrow Turtle far away with a loud noise. Cracks appeared on the hard carapace in an instant.
——At this moment, the out-of-control ice elephant completely turned into a demon in the Blue God Realm.
"Beidou, retreat immediately! It is attacking all creatures indiscriminately!"
Gene's urgent voice sounded in the headset, but the trainer's reaction was unusually slow. The proboscis that could kill a person swept across it fiercely, almost knocking Ghost Stone and the human on its back straight away. The ghost Pokémon tried its best to finally pull away and get a short respite.
"...Mr. Jean."
Beidou's voice reached the ears of Commander Yamashita word by word.
Although the power of the waveguide cannot penetrate into the solid ice, anyone can realize what is happening when they see the huge ball of light in the belly of the giant beast and the appearance of "it" wrapped in it.
"Its energy source is the god that the Himi family once believed in-"
"Frost Bird."
