"This is so cool!"
"Even though it's the second time seeing it, it's still awesome!"
"I get it, updrafts cushioned the landing speed."
"Holy crap, a physicist's explanation just appeared!"
......
Honestly, no matter how many times she saw it, Mo Zhi's sense of awe at Huang's entrance remained the same.
Because, she was just so cool!
"Don't let your guard down just because there's only one person."
In the game, Frostnova's expression was solemn as she warily eyed the direction of the billowing smoke. "I feel heat; she's been using some kind of warming spell."
"Greetings, members of Reunion."
"I don't want to be enemies with Infected, but I heard you hurt my Rhodes Island colleagues... and are now pursuing my teammates. I need to interrupt you all for a moment."
Treading on碎石 (suì shí - gravel), Huang emerged from the dust. With every step she took, the surrounding smoke seemed to recoil as if alive.
"...So verbose."
Frostnova's fingertips pulsed with white magic, her expression frigid.
"Hi, hello, lady who uses ice," Huang seemed fearless, even extending a hand in greeting.
After the greeting, Huang flexed her muscles, looking eager. "I want to try clashing my temperature against yours."
6-8 Frostnova did not appear as a boss guarding the area, and Mo Zhi easily directed his operators to achieve a perfect clear.
"Hahaha..."
After the battle, Huang panted with excitement. Seeing Amiya's worried gaze, she reassured her, "I'm fine! They actually had some skill. Were you guys frozen?"
"Only you could have made the air in the area hotter to block her cold currents. Thanks to you, we suffered minimal damage."
"Small matter."
Huang waved her hand. She turned to look at Frostnova and asked, "Ice user, why didn't you use any lethal spells?"
"Cough, cough..." Frostnova's only response was a couple of coughs.
"..." Huang nodded thoughtfully, "I see."
"...Frostnova, looking like that..." Amiya's expression was filled with concern, as if Frostnova wasn't an enemy but one of their own teammates.
"Frostnova, is it?" Huang murmured in her heart.
"...Help me... cover me..." Frostnova whispered softly to the nearby Snow Crue member.
"Big Sis..." The Snow Crue member's expression was full of worry.
Seizing the opportunity of Frostnova's weakness, Huang directed her squad to retreat.
Frostnova watched all of this, her expression turning cold. "Trying to retreat just like that?"
"I advise you, don't push yourself any further, white-haired rabbit." Huang didn't want to fight Frostnova. Frostnova had too many reasons to be forgiven; just the fact that no Rhodes Island member's blood was on her hands was enough for Huang to let go of past grievances.
"Pfft!"
Off-screen, Mo Zhi, who was drinking water, spat it out in one go.
White-haired rabbit?
What a strange nickname, but it suited Frostnova quite well.
Huang advised Frostnova not to force herself to use spells, as it was a behavior that severely depleted her life force.
She even extended an invitation to Frostnova: "Or, you could come to Rhodes Island. At least we have ways to extend your life."
Accept Huang's offer!
Seeing this, everyone's hearts hung in suspense.
Frostnova might be able to come to the island!
"Guys, I'm about to prepare three hundred pulls to forcefully recruit Frostnova. What do you think her class will be?"
Mo Zhi immediately popped champagne, even looking forward to the next event being a Frostnova limited recruitment, preparing to forcefully acquire her.
'I think she'll be a Caster, a 6-star!'
'She could also be a Supporter. The skill to flip the ground as terrain control should be quite useful.'
'Frostnova holds a sword, so I think she could also be a Guard.'
'Everyone, don't get too happy too soon. Frostnova's arrival on the island will definitely not be so easy. It will likely require some plot development.'
'I agree. Even if she does join, it will be because Rhodes Island has something that attracts Frostnova, not merely to extend her life.'
......
The viewers chatted animatedly, all hoping for Frostnova to join the island, as she was truly suited for Rhodes Island.
"Let's continue and see how the powerful Doctor manages to lure Frostnova to the island."
Mo Zhi clicked onward.
In the game,
Frostnova was silent for a moment after hearing Huang's words, then said coldly, "Why do you look... pitying? Who needs your pity?"
As expected,
Given the white-haired rabbit's disposition, she would never join for the cliché reason of extending her life.
If she agreed, she wouldn't be Frostnova.
"What, do I look like I'm pitying you?" Huang explained, "You're quite strong. I respect you."
"......" Frostnova didn't intend to dwell on this topic. She retorted, "Why should you be allowed to escape?"
After saying that, she coughed violently again, appearing to be in very poor health.
"Dr. Mo Zhi, hurry, don't look at her!"
Not far away, Huang loudly reminded the still-dazed Doctor.
"Outer Reunion forces are approaching us," Meteorite relayed information from outside while retreating.
Seeing them make a swift escape, Frostnova endured the pain, her magic surging again, "Don't think you're getting away."
With that, she unleashed her skill.
"Big Sis, the position you're standing in! Don't use that!" The Snow Crue member tried to stop her, but Frostnova's skill had already been released.
She didn't know what consequences letting Rhodes Island escape would have on her compatriots within Lungmen, so she was determined not to let them leave easily.
Even if it meant putting herself in danger.
"Temperature difference increases, structural integrity, brittle!"
The incantation left Frostnova's lips, "Cough cough... Freeze!"
Sizzling sounds!!
In the next instant, a surge of chilling energy erupted. Faint blue ice crystals instantly froze the ground, and the ice crystals rapidly expanded.
Rumbling sounds!!
The ground began to collapse. Originium beneath altered the geological structure, and the entire road started to tilt.
"Big Sis, that position is too dangerous, hurry and hold onto me!" The Snow Crue member immediately extended their hand to assist Frostnova.
However, it was too late.
"......"
CRASH!!
Cracking sounds rang out as Frostnova was buried in the collapsing ground.
Frostnova's Snow Crue members looked at each other, their boss had fallen into a pit?
What should they do?
At the same time,
The Doctor, who was slightly slower, also fell into the fissure due to the violent shaking.
"It's over!"
Just as Huang was preparing to rescue them, her thermal current hadn't even been released when she saw the foolish Doctor fall in as the ground cracked open.
Amiya's little face turned pale, on the verge of tears.
Good heavens.
What kind of plot twist is this?
Frostnova and the Doctor fell into the pit together?
Mo Zhi's mind was flooded with various images.
Could it be...
