Chapter 33
◎ It’s a trio now ◎
Just kidding, no one was planning to fight right now.
However, Zuo He’s clothes were really tattered. Yu Chi stared at the faintly visible abs and chest muscles under his clothes. Just as she was about to say something, her line of sight was blocked.
She looked up and saw Li Feng looking at her with a heartbroken expression.
Yu Chi: “…”
Wait, is this a misunderstanding?
Li Feng turned his head and cursed at Zuo He, “Can’t you dress more decently?”
Zuo He silently glanced at the two of them, his gaze pausing on Yu Chi for 2 seconds. He took out a piece of clothing from his backpack and put it on.
Yu Chi: “…”
She actually just wanted to say, isn’t it cold to wear so little?
The snow mountain was the central area of the entire Cold Moon Island. The temperature had long surpassed the limits of what an ordinary human could bear. However, looking at the three people in front of her…
Wearing a thin T-shirt—Zuo He.
Barely putting on a jacket after being advised—Li Feng.
Inexplicably wearing a piece of sunscreen clothing—Yu Chi.
Ah, yes, yes, we top 10 players on the ranking are all so unconventional.
Yu Chi silently wrapped the sunscreen clothing, which had turned into a red robe, a little tighter. Although it was called sunscreen clothing, it also had the two words “constant temperature” in front of its name!
“Roar—”
Just as the few of them were standing in a standoff, a roar suddenly sounded from a distance. At the foot of the snow mountain, a creature covered in blue ice crystals was rushing towards them.
Yu Chi took a closer look.
【Species: Ice Crystal Beast
Level: 14
Description: Woken up by humans again, roar roar roar.】
Yu Chi briefly thought about whether a level 7 weakling like her should be here, but this thought was quickly replaced by an extreme sense of danger.
The Ice Crystal Beast was huge, with a sharp horn on its head, like a legendary unicorn. It was extremely fast, covering a distance of dozens of meters in just a moment.
Yu Chi jumped onto the cloud and ran directly into the air. She looked down at Li Feng. The other party waved at him, signaling that he didn’t need to be taken care of.
Li Feng’s eyes were full of fighting spirit.
She looked at Zuo He again. The man dodged the Ice Crystal Beast’s charge lightly, his face still expressionless.
Yu Chi belatedly realized that she was the only one who was afraid… wait, wasn’t this very normal?
She was only level 7!
Although the two men below did not speak, they tacitly chose to cooperate and attack this Ice Crystal Beast. Yu Chi was just thinking about what she could do when a round thing was thrown over from Li Feng. She caught it and found that it was a treasure-seeking compass.
“Run if you can’t beat it—” Li Feng shouted loudly while attacking with his long spear.
He’s letting her go treasure hunting first… Yu Chi looked at the two people below. Li Feng had not yet shown any skills and was relying entirely on that long spear. The long spear was completely tamed by him and was very obedient in his hands, as if they were one.
And Zuo He was not a pure melee fighter, but more like an elemental mage. Yu Chi saw that there were always ice spikes coming out of his hands.
The two of them were terrifyingly strong. This was not a battle she could interfere in. Yu Chi didn’t hesitate and controlled the cloud to fly in another direction… and then quickly flew back.
Li Feng’s eyes were sharp. He raised an eyebrow. Before he could say anything, he had already heard Yu Chi’s loud shouts, “A bunch of big birds over there!”
There were twenty to thirty Frostfeather Birds, and they were all around level seven or eight. Yu Chi felt her hair stand on end at a glance. How could she dare to control the cloud and fly around?
Li Feng looked in the direction of her gaze and swallowed. He was hungry.
He remembered Yu Chi saying that Frostfeather Birds were delicious, even more delicious than all the prey they had caught.
Zuo He didn’t notice the movement nearby, but he suddenly found that the pressure on him had suddenly increased…
He dodged a blow in a sorry state, turned his head, and saw Li Feng’s figure pouncing towards the large birds in the distance.
Zuo He: “…?”
However, after seeing Yu Chi flying around anxiously in the air, his expression changed from “is he an idiot” to “so that’s how it is.”
Li Feng still didn’t know that he had changed from a “barely acceptable number two” to a “fool who only has women on his mind.” He was wholeheartedly focused on those large birds, determined to catch a dozen of them and stuff them into his backpack before he would be satisfied.
Yu Chi floated around in the air for a while and became more and more proficient in using the cloud. Li Feng couldn’t fly. After killing a few large birds that had landed, he jumped onto Yu Chi’s cloud.
Standing next to the man, she could clearly see how amazing his strength was. Yu Chi hadn’t even reacted, and the other party’s long spear had already shot out. Killing a few large birds was like child’s play. This blatant display of strength made even Zuo He on the ground look over.
Yu Chi pursed her lips, suddenly realizing that her skills had great limitations. If she didn’t want to expose herself in a crowd, she had to transfer the ability of her form changes to herself.
This was not a simple matter, but with Li Feng in front of her, Yu Chi gave herself some time to adapt. Vines drilled out from her sleeves and quickly wrapped around a Frostfeather Bird not far away.
Li Feng glanced to the side and left that large bird alone, killing the Frostfeather Birds farther away.
The vines were not as easy to use as in her elf form, but Yu Chi’s current advantage was that when she changed forms, she could only use the abilities of a single form, but now she could use the abilities of three forms.
She had to make use of this advantage. Yu Chi gritted her teeth. The Frostfeather Bird in front of her was a level 8 creature, and it was also the highest-level creature she had fought so far.
It might be nothing to Li Feng and Zuo He, but it was a great challenge for her.
Think fast, what can I do…
The vines did not achieve the desired effect and could not successfully strangle the large bird in front of her. Instead, they restricted her own movements. What if, what if she combined the abilities of several forms…?
The strength of a mermaid was mainly in her sound waves and physical body, so let’s not consider that for now. Cinnabar Finch, Cinnabar Finch… right, fire!
Could she combine the vines and fire?
In normal thinking, fire could easily burn the vines, but now, both the vines and the fire were abilities she could control.
—Since they were abilities she could control, even if they countered each other, they should obey his commands.
Yu Chi was suddenly a little excited. This was not some great innovation, but for her, it was a challenge beyond her cognition.
A flame lit up from her fingertips and began to spread along the vines extending from her sleeves. Yu Chi stared at the flame, watching it grow from a tiny spark to cover the entire vine. And under this flame, the vine was actually unharmed!
It worked!
Yu Chi’s eyes widened slightly. The vines, covered in Cinnabar Finch flames, burned towards the huge Frostfeather Bird. The elements countered each other, and the Frostfeather Bird tilted its head back and let out a shrill cry.
She controlled the two vines with her left hand, held the Silver Moon Scimitar in her hand, and leaned forward. Blood spurted from the Frostfeather Bird, splashing all over Yu Chi’s face. She raised an eyebrow, but a smile appeared on her face.
“Are you stupid?”
Li Feng raised his hand and grabbed Yu Chi’s shoulder, turning her back, saving her from the fate of being covered in Frostfeather Bird blood.
Yu Chi didn’t care. She repeated the process. The flame vines continuously extended from her sleeves, strangling two Frostfeather Birds.
Her body flew towards the Frostfeather Bird along the vines… The moment the Silver Moon Scimitar inserted into the Frostfeather Bird’s body, her whole person also fell from the air.
The cloud that had been waiting on the side instantly disappeared from its original spot and appeared under her, catching its master steadily.
So awesome. Yu Chi stared at the sky seriously. This was the first time she had fought with her own body.
Li Feng had long since stopped using the cloud. The Frostfeather Birds did not fly that high to attack the enemy. He easily jumped onto a Frostfeather Bird, his movements extremely graceful.
At this moment, seeing Yu Chi spread out on the cloud like a pancake, he ran over and picked her up. “Hey, get up and help me.”
Yu Chi squinted at him, thinking, what am I to be helping these top players?
But she really was something now.
The Cinnabar Finch’s flames countered the Frostfeather Birds. Killing these large birds was not much slower than Li Feng. Yu Chi got up with satisfaction and continued to use these Frostfeather Birds to practice her newly learned ability.
At the same time, she also released the [Treant Guardian] to help Zuo He on the ground.
The Sea Survival game was very user-friendly. Not only did the final blow give EXP, but the attacks and blocks in the middle were also counted. The damage caused by the [Treant Guardian] was also equivalent to the damage she had done to this Ice Crystal Beast.
At that time, any amount of EXP would be enough for her to level up.
The [Treant Guardian] was 3 meters tall, about the same size as this Ice Crystal Beast. When it first came out, Zuo He and Li Feng thought it was another monster, but they found that this monster seemed to be controlled by someone.
Zuo He reacted immediately and cooperated with the [Treant Guardian], changing from defense and blocking to active attack. And the battle between Li Feng, Yu Chi, and the Frostfeather Birds was also coming to an end.
When all the Frostfeather Birds were killed, Yu Chi was so tired that she couldn’t lift her hand. She sat cross-legged on the cloud, gnawing on an Ice Crystal Fruit, and saw Li Feng go to fight the Ice Crystal Beast with full energy again.
Soon, the Ice Crystal Beast was killed under the siege of the three of them. Yu Chi instantly felt a large amount of EXP enter her body. She opened her personal panel and saw that she had jumped directly from level 7 to level 9.
Skipping a level, she was directly rewarded with 11 attribute points. She added Spirit from 28 to 30, and the other 9 attribute points, 4 were given to Strength, and 5 to Agility.
【Name: DazedFish
Player Status: Official Player
Level: 9 (1412/500,000)
HP: 520 (Stamina x20)
Skills: First Aid (Excellent), Morph (Rare), Fine Forging (Common)
Stats: Strength (4→15) Agility (6→19) Stamina (5→26) Spirit (11→30) Luck (8) [Fixed]】
After getting the immortal peaches, she no longer had to worry about her Stamina. Recently, she could focus on Strength and Agility.
Yu Chi looked at Li Feng and Zuo He. An Ice Crystal Beast was probably worth several million. These two had probably also leveled up. But she wasn’t greedy. After all, if it weren’t for them, she could only have run away from the Ice Crystal Beast.
“It dropped 1 Beast Soul Crystal and 49 Ice Crystals,” Zuo He glanced at the other two. “I want the Beast Soul Crystal.”
A Beast Soul Crystal was a crystal condensed by a giant beast of level 10 or above. It could nourish the soul and promote the improvement of Spirit.
An Ice Crystal was a special material dropped by this Ice Crystal Beast due to its characteristics. It was a rare mineral that could be used to forge weapons or be integrated into the hull.
Although he had the help of the [Treant Guardian], Zuo He had contributed the most to killing the Ice Crystal Beast. Yu Chi had no objection to this, and Li Feng cared even less.
All 49 Ice Crystals were stuffed into Yu Chi’s hand. He said they would talk about it when they got back, but his appearance clearly showed that he didn’t care at all.
Yu Chi was a little curious. Did the other party not need special materials to upgrade his small boat? Otherwise, why would he be completely uninterested in these things?
She habitually stuffed the Ice Crystal Fruit into her backpack, then suddenly reacted and subconsciously looked at Zuo He… her and Li Feng’s performance really didn’t look like people who had just met for a day.
Zuo He’s eyes were still cold and his face expressionless. He was quietly recovering his stamina with his head down. Yu Chi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was really overthinking it.
But she didn’t know that the man was just spacing out, his mind replaying the past and present lives of the two of them. If it were moved to the big screen, it would definitely be a magnificent sitcom.
Of course, no one believed that Li Feng’s goal was just to eat meat, and naturally, no one believed that Zuo He’s daily hobby was to read dog-blood novels.
While they were resting on the spot, Yu Chi handed each of them an Ice Crystal Fruit.
She had benefited this time. If it weren’t for Li Feng backing her up, she wouldn’t have disregarded the danger and innovated on the battlefield… and there was also the huge EXP from killing the Ice Crystal Beast.
The effect of the Ice Crystal Fruit was precious, but it wasn’t enough to make these two turn against her.
Zuo He’s eyelids lifted. He said thanks and asked, “Where did you guys find it?”
Yu Chi touched her nose, feeling inexplicably guilty.
She had naturally found this Ice Crystal Fruit last time. At that time, she had specially transformed into a Cinnabar Finch and looked around in the air. The entire Cold Moon Island probably only had those few Ice Crystal Trees in that place… which was the direction Zuo He had originally been heading.
“It’s gone,” Li Feng said. “Why are you asking in such detail? In short, we took it all.”
Zuo He didn’t say anything else.
After eating the Ice Crystal Fruit, everyone had recovered their Spirit, and the fatigue in their bodies had also subsided a lot. Yu Chi glanced at Zuo He, not sure if he wanted to act alone or with them.
When the other party had just met them, his clothes were tattered. She didn’t know what he had been through… according to his strength, it shouldn’t be like this.
“I’ll go with you,” Zuo He said.
The danger of this snow mountain was obvious to all. He was not confident enough to handle it alone.
“Let’s go.”
Yu Chi did not take back the [Treant Guardian], but let it become 2 meters tall and jumped onto its broad shoulders to sit.
The snow mountain had been uninhabited for a long time, but now there were a few bright footprints, one of which was huge.
The girl sat high on the treant’s shoulder, her red clothes like fire. The two men next to her were tall and slender, their eyes cold, as if they didn’t care about anything.
From a distance, it looked like a beautiful scene, but up close…
“You come down.”
“No.”
“Come down. My neck is sore from looking up at you.”
“What does that have to do with me? You’re short because you’re not skilled enough.”
Li Feng: “Hey, number one, she said you’re short.”
Zuo He: “…”
Yu Chi: “Neither of you are as tall as my treant baby.”
Zuo He took a step back: “You guys are disgusting.”

【Author’s Note】
[Cat paw] Mini-theater [Cat paw]
In the third hour of acting with Zuo He, Li Feng suddenly secretly pulled Yu Chi aside.
“You can’t have a combo name with him.”
Yu Chi: “…Don’t worry, I won’t betray the Carp Combo.”
Li Feng was very serious: “It’s not that I’m being petty. Fish and cranes can’t be together.”
Yu Chi: “Details?”
Li Feng: “Cranes eat fish. Big brother is worried about you!”
Yu Chi: “…”
Actually, Zuo He, who could hear everything on the side: “.”
I don’t understand, but I don’t respect it either.
