Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless ice knives densely shot from all directions off the ground, with Xiang Beifei and Lu Zhiwei firing at them, only to quickly realize that their target wasn't them, but rather the large pine tree they were standing on!
Crack!
The ice knives of the Extreme Ice Tiger were powerful and sharp. A few sweeps of the blades, and the pine tree on which Xiang Beifei and his group stood was severed in the middle!
"Not good!"
Lu Zhiwei was enjoying her shooting too much and forgot about this. As the pine tree fell, they fell too. Xiang Beifei and Lu Zhiwei could only stop shooting, quickly grabbed He Yun and Liu Gui, and jumped out, landing on the ground.
But now, the four of them lost the high ground advantage. They swept again with the machine gun, but those Extreme Ice Tigers seemed to have learned and collectively conjured a wall of ice in front of them.
Zhiwei, stop shooting, or those bullets will probably bounce back at us.
By now, they were completely surrounded by four ice walls, firmly bonded together, blocking all their paths of escape.
The ice walls continuously moved, creating a cage to trap them.
"It's over, we can't escape." Liu Gui muttered to himself.
"What do we do? What do we do? We can't stop these desolate beasts." He Yun also spoke in a rushed tone.
"It's okay, it's okay, they must have a way." Liu Gui comforted He Yun.
"Beifei, I am out of ideas."
Lu Zhiwei tried to melt the ice walls with a laser gun, but it was deflected back by the wall, almost hitting her. The ice walls created by countless Qi-Controlling late-stage Extreme Ice Tigers were now able to stop Lu Zhiwei's firepower.
Amongst this chaos, Xiaohei scratched Xiang Beifei's ear and barked twice.
Xiang Beifei was surprised and turned to ask Xiaohei on his shoulder, "Do you have a way to get them out of this space?"
Xiaohei barked and nodded.
Beifei had forgotten that this was a space created by the World Control System, which could render any system ability ineffective.
Not to mention this virtual space, even if Lu Zhiwei fired a rocket at him from the system, Xiaohei would intercept it.
Xiaohei was specifically designed to counter all kinds of fancy systems.
"You should have said so earlier, then we wouldn't have been in such a predicament. Let's get out first."
Xiang Beifei scanned the surroundings. This space was artificially created, but he still hadn't seen where the person controlling it was hiding. Their enemy was using the Extreme Ice Tigers to push them to the brink, so there was no point in staying any longer.
She couldn't reconcile it with her conscience, so she desperately searched for excuses, hoping that Lu Zhiwei would do the same to lessen her guilt.
Liu Gui looked at He Yun with a bitter expression, "I did hope you would survive...live a good life...I'm sorry I couldn't protect you..."
He was heartbroken; the girl he had loved for so long could treat him like this. He thought he found the one to share his life with, had even thought about proposing to her in the future, but the knife felt so cold, piercingly cold.
"Don't blame me...I'm sorry...it's the game's rules he set, I'm just an N-level Awakener, I can't resist, I just want to live..."
He Yun stood up and kept backing away, retreating to the corner of the ice wall, away from Xiang Beifei and the others.
Liu Gui passed out, and Lu Zhiwei quickly used her police medical supplies to stop his bleeding.
"You fool, if it's the game rules, then why can't you leave?" Lu Zhiwei said while treating Liu Gui.
He Yun, in panic, started banging on the ice wall, yelling into the air, "I killed him, why won't you let me leave!"
"Because he's not dead yet!"
A lazy voice came from the woods.
Xiang Beifei heard it too this time, and he searched for the source of the voice, soon spotting a figure sitting on a tree branch, watching them with mockery.
Through the thick ice wall, Xiang Beifei couldn't see the person's face clearly, only sensing the figure seemed to be wearing a mask, but he did make out the person's system—
[Host: Zhu Xinjue]
[SR-level, World Control System]
[Realm: Early Meridian Opening]
"This guy, indeed, is an SR-level Awakener!"
Xiang Beifei watched warily. Uncle Lu's crows couldn't scan this person, simply because he wasn't ordinary.
Not only that, but the law enforcers seemed to have mistakenly estimated the "Highway Cruise Killer"'s strength. The person was not at the Late Qi-Controlling stage but at the Early Meridian Opening stage!
"Or perhaps, this guy has just stepped into the Meridian Opening stage?"
Xiang Beifei was pondering in his mind. An SR-level system actually had very strong innate talent too, increasing its holder's strength very rapidly, only a fine line weaker than SSR, but reaching Early Meridian Opening in one year of awakening.
That meant that this person could very likely still be a student!
