Liang Chuyin, who was considered doomed, suddenly shot up into the air with a bang right before encountering the 'Winter Ice River.'
This sudden change startled many people, leaving them confused about what was happening, but they quickly realized that the beautiful woman who was about to be frozen was now hovering in mid-air, almost at the same height as the head of the mutated sea lion.
"Qi Chong!"
One of the skills of the silver battle skirt allows the user to leap to a certain height, disregarding their current state.
The skill itself is quite simple, but the ability to ignore status effects is incredibly powerful, even surprising Ye Zhongming when he created this piece of equipment.
It seems to merely allow a jump upward without much utility; however, when you encounter any negative status effects such as being trapped, slowed, or frozen, using this skill offers a glimmer of hope for escape and can save your life in critical moments.
Just like in the 'Winter Ice River,' even if Liang Chuyin were to be frozen, she could still use this skill to break free from the icy mist.
Six long whiskers grazed the soles of Liang Chuyin's feet and lunged forward.
Many people who had just inhaled collectively exhaled in relief.
It was too dangerous; had they been a moment late, her body would have been pierced with six holes.
However…
These six long whiskers missed their target for the first time, suddenly coiling and extending in mid-air, changing direction to stab directly at Liang Chuyin above, along with the Winter Ice River below.
It looked as if a massive safety cushion awaited Liang Chuyin, ready to ensnare her as she fell.
Perhaps seeing that this human had escaped its attack, the mutated sea lion's red skin twitched, revealing dark black round holes in certain places.
In the next second, with a series of popping sounds, dozens of long, worm-like entities shot out, rapidly flying toward Liang Chuyin.
Many people looked closely and discovered that these were ten or so unknown mutated creatures, resembling parasites that once lived on the mutated sea lion, now turned into a kind of ability for it.
These were not important; what mattered was that all these small creatures, despite their size, were grade 4 mutated life forms!
In other circumstances, Liang Chuyin might have been able to deal with these creatures with some effort, but now, suspended in mid-air, with the 'Winter Ice River' and six sharp whiskers below, and a dozen grade 4 mutated life forms in front, she found herself seemingly trapped in a dire situation once again.
Even if she dodged the first attack, could she escape the second?
Unfortunately, no one could see Liang Chuyin's face. If someone could, they would notice that she remained completely calm despite being in such dire straits.
In this calm, Liang Chuyin made her move.
Once again, she utilized her ability—half-strike shadow clone!
Two shadows, each with half the attack power of her body, appeared on either side, and with a flick of her long whip, three attribute-based tornadoes wrapped around the approaching dozen grade 4 parasites.
This was one of the active skills of the Shadow of Deep Cold Ripples—'Ice Tornado!'
People were worried that Liang Chuyin would fall into the 'Extreme Cold Ice River' and the six long whiskers, but instead, her body suddenly glided defying the laws of physics and vanished.
This was one of the skills of the Thousand Leaf Scale Armor… fish armor absorption!
Though it consumed mental energy and had a cooldown of ten hours, this skill allowed the scales on the armor to spread open, granting the user temporary gliding capabilities.
Using fish armor absorption, the internet celebrity swiftly maneuvered through the grade 4 parasites temporarily controlled by the ice tornado and closed in on the mutated sea lion.
In her hand appeared a small and exquisite silver level handgun, aimed at her opponent with one hand.
Simultaneously, the silver mask-like equipment similar to her tattoo shot out a beam of light onto the silver handgun, then vanished.
