Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 138 Good Heart

Behind the water wall that obscured the view, a long, icy blue shadow pierced through, instantly transforming into an ice blade that mercilessly pierced the body of the Ice Wolf leader with its gleaming edge.

The leader of the dire wolves reluctantly exhaled its last breath of icy air, which burst forth and spread through the air. Before it could reach Mikhail, Mikhail blocked it with his ice shield. The leader of the wolf pack, who ruled the dire straits, failed in his dying struggle, and the light in his eyes went out.

Along with the leader of the Icefield Wolves, Tong Yusheng obtained the level four ice-type crystal core.

She clenched her fists tightly, watching helplessly as Mikhail took the crystal core out of the wolf's head. The crystal-clear blue gem shone with a unique brilliance, but it was destined not to belong to her, just like the door to the fifth level was slammed shut in front of her.

Mikhail, clutching the crystal core extracted from the brain of the Level 4 Icefield Wolf leader, grinned maliciously: "Sorry."

According to the rules of joint hunting, the person who kills the beast will obtain the beast's crystal core, and the person who assists will receive certain compensation.

In this cooperative hunt between Mikhail and Tong Yusheng, Mikhail, as the main attacker, used Tong Yusheng's water shield as cover to deliver a fatal blow to the Ice Wolf leader while she was defending. The crystal core rightfully belongs to him.

"You're welcome. I'll let you know the specific compensation details later." Knowing that Mikhail wouldn't hand over the level four ice crystal core so easily, Tong Yusheng didn't want to humiliate herself and took the initiative to ask for compensation.

Tong Yusheng turned and left. She had no time to dwell on her defeat; there were still people waiting for her protection.

Mikhail raised an eyebrow, picked up the leader wolf's carcass with one hand. Wolf skin and fangs were resources, and adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, he took the wolf carcass and followed Tong Yusheng to the outskirts of the Chinese garrison.

When the two Level 4 ability users arrived, the Chinese ability users responsible for the wolf pack on the outskirts of the camp were already engaged in a fierce battle.

"They've arrived just in time." Someone spotted the two level-four ability users and said this. The others' morale immediately soared, and Zhao Qingshan, who had almost had her face splattered by the ice mist, also breathed a sigh of relief.

With a pale face, Pei Hanxing grabbed Zhao Qingshan by the back of her collar and pulled her over. Her blood-stained wolf claws grazed Zhao Qingshan's face, and her sharp teeth tore open her skin, leaving three scratch marks on her left cheek, almost hitting her eye.

"Watch out!" Zhao Qingshan didn't have time to cry out in pain. She caught sight of the roaring ice wolf to Pei Hanxing's side out of the corner of her eye and blurted out in alarm. However, her body couldn't keep up and she couldn't block the sudden attack for Pei Hanxing.

In the moment of crisis, a faint blue light appeared, forming a water shield beside Pei Hanxing.

"Roar!!!" The dire wolf that launched the sneak attack failed to reach the water shield. Before it could, it was pierced by an ice spike. The sharp ice spike pinned the dire wolf to the ground. The giant wolf, barely alive, twitched a few times and died with its eyes wide open.

“The weak should just stay in the back,” Mikhail said sarcastically, looking at Pei Hanxing.

Tong Yusheng remained silent, staring at the dead wolf carcass. She had lost again.

"What you lack is probably reckless attack. Subconscious defense will put you at a disadvantage, and without aggression, you are destined to never become a top master."

The kite's words floated into Tong Yusheng's mind, briefly occupying her attention. However, she steadied her nearly collapsing state of mind, and after a moment of distraction, she closed her eyes and exhaled. When she opened her eyes again, she was the reliable Team Leader Tong, focusing on dealing with the wolf pack that was about to collapse due to the death of their alpha wolf.

Pei Hanxing, who had been rescued by Mikhail, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, nodded expressionlessly, and said in Common, "Thank you."

Mikhail had just spoken in Russian, and with his limited language knowledge, Pei Hanxing only understood the word "behind" and didn't realize that Mikhail was mocking him. Pei Hanxing thought that the other party was telling him to be careful of wolves attacking from behind.

Zhao Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Pei Hanxing was out of danger. Since Tong Yusheng was right beside her, she even had the leisure to ask Pei Hanxing, "What did that little brat say to you?"

“He told me to watch my back,” Pei Hanxing replied.

"He's actually quite kind," Zhao Qingshan remarked.
