The commotion instantly enraged the Ice Armor Scorpion, which had returned to its icy cavern. Soon enough, there were sounds of movement on the snowy ground, and the massive Ice Armor Scorpion, clad in Ice Crystal Armor and with a body as large as a millstone, appeared, looking up and hissing at Qiuqiu.
In response, Qiuqiu unleashed another Frost Storm.
The Ice Armor Scorpion, by nature not an agile pet, could not dodge the attack with Frost Eyes locking on.
Nor did it bother to try.
Mere juvenility.
A trace of disdain flicked through the blue eyes of the Ice Armor Scorpion as ice crystals rapidly grew and spread on its surface, forming another thick layer of ice armor on top of its already solid exoskeleton. It stood its ground, motionless, clearly intending to withstand the attack of the Frost Storm head-on.
Qiuqiu's eyes flickered with frost as it intently watched the Ice Armor Scorpion below, which was fully exerting its Ice Armor Skill. It needed to gauge the proficiency of its adversary's Ice Armor Skill based on the effect of this strike.
The Frost Storm, with the same might as before, crashed with great force against the armor of the Ice Armor Scorpion.
In just an instant, the body of the Ice Armor Scorpion began to uncontrollably sink, the raging storm smashing it heavily into the snow. The frost within the storm turned into razor-sharp blades, scraping against the ice armor and emitting a sound that set teeth on edge.
The pupils of the Ice Armor Scorpion were filled with shock and disbelief. As the caster of the Ice Armor Skill, it could acutely feel the ice armor on its body rapidly eroding under the Frost Storm, eventually collapsing under the strain, shattering into countless ice crystals.
The ice armor... shattered?
Shattered by a Frost Storm from a juvenile like Xue Henqing?
Even though its own Frost Storm had completely dissipated at that moment and despite the fact it had suffered no real harm other than energy depletion, the Ice Armor Scorpion was still in disbelief, quickly followed by intense anger and a sense of humiliation.
It crawled out from the deep pit, angrily hissing at Qiuqiu in the sky.
Qiuqiu, however, completely ignored the raging roar of the Ice Armor Scorpion below.
After confirming that its adversary's Ice Armor, though also Tier II, was much less proficient than its own Frost Storm, Qiuqiu instantly felt relieved.
It deftly fished out an energy potion from its waist with its little paws, skillfully pulled the stopper and poured it into its mouth. Then its eyes shimmered, unleashing another Frost Storm towards the Ice Armor Scorpion below.
On the matter of how to utilize an energy potion to fully restore stamina before exhaustion in order to prevent overflow, Qiuqiu, who drank energy potions like water, was something of an authority.

At the border between the forest and the snowy plains, Lin Su paced back and forth anxiously. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The battle between Qiuqiu and the Ice Armor Scorpion had been going on for a while.
He could only sense through the Guardian Beast Contract that Qiuqiu was in good condition at the moment, but he was completely in the dark about the rest.
This made Lin Su very concerned.
Then, at a certain moment, he felt something through Telepathy and quickly looked up at the sky.
The figure of Qiuqiu came hurtling towards him rapidly and finally plunged into Lin Su's arms.
Seeing Qiuqiu unharmed, Lin Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "It's good you're alright, it's okay if you lost."
"Meow? (๑ŏωŏ๑)" (I didn't lose, did I?)
Qiuqiu gently poked its head out and placed in Lin Su's palm a slender piece of ice crystal, only the size of a knuckle but radiating icy blue light. Within the crystal seemed to be a jade-colored liquid, its glossy sheen glistening and rippling with every movement.
