Tempest of the Stellar War
chapter-794

The news of Ai Xiaolu's team being defeated made Snow Li decisively decide to abandon the predetermined route to advance. There must be traitors among them! Although she didn't have the evidence, this was her first instinct. The situation had become very steep and difficult. She clearly couldn't depend on Shien and Redington and she was a little at her wits end now.

At the first instant, the team had entered communication restriction silent mode and had rapidly moved in the opposite direction of the plan. They had also employed emergency procedures and stayed hidden. Indeed, in just a while, the pirate searching team had appeared. Clearly it was a large search and capture team that failed in their ambush.

Snow Li had brought the small team into the deserted ice and snow field in the first instant. This was the only direction where there weren't any search teams. However, this might not necessary be a path to safety. This patch of deserted field was an unknown area and no one had conducted exploration in this place previously. No one knew about the dangers and threats of the place. However, this was also the only way to avoid and hide from the pirates and they had no other options. They must stay alive to continue thinking of a solution.

Roar…

In the wind, a coarse roar could be heard. This had caused the advancing team to stop suddenly!

There were too many dangers in Aisbotan. It was especially so for this type of unexplored area. Every step had to be careful and they had to make the right judgement in response to any movements.

"Ice beasts!"

A horrified voice could be heard over the communication channel.

From far away, two humongous figures of beasts appeared. Under the reflection of the snow, they looked both hideous and imposing. They also had blood red eyes!

That was proof that the ice beasts had entered a state of extreme rage.

The wind was howling and fear was spreading within the team! Even the mech seemed to be shaking from fear.

Everything seemed to be going wrong for them. These two ice beasts were mature beasts. Even with their strength, they would likely have to pay a high price for them to escape.

If a column of pirates had brought fear, raging ice beasts in Aisbotan would have brought despair!

Everyone was waiting for Snow Li's order. She was the one everyone had entrusted their hope on.

Snow Li gritted her teeth. What should she do?

If it was only an ice beast, maybe they could still use their advantage in numbers to handle it. However, there were two! Moreover, they had entered into a stage of rage and were berserk.

Roar…

The angry roar that brought despair to all could be heard. They couldn't drag on further. The two ice beasts had started their movements.

"You guys should move north. Do not turn back."

Snow Li took a deep breath and made a decision quickly. "I will distract them."

"Snow, under such an environment, the Ice Wolf V would not be able to outrun the ice beasts. Maybe..."

Suddenly, the whole team understood Snow Li's intention. She wanted to distract and hold the two raging ice beasts back. Cai Yingmeng couldn't help but said," If we tried our best we might be able..."

"This is an order. I'm familiar with the ice field and won't have a problem. Everyone must retain their strength!"

Without waiting for others to say anything, Snow Li suddenly leapt forward away from the team. Boom, the engine of the Ice Wolf V was spurred to the maximum. At the same time, two rays of lasers were shot out. This had attracted the attention of the two raging ice beasts.

Snow Li had left. Cai Yingmeng and the rest had no options but to run in the other direction. It was just that these elites from the Elite Academy felt a little lost. They had a certain level of individual capability. However, the opponents they were facing wouldn't give them chance to demonstrate it. They were either fierce and ruthless pirates who held an absolute advantage or they were the ice beasts. If they fought against the pirates, they could still kill some of them to the best of their ability. However, if they were to fight against the ice beasts, they would have died in vain.

Cai Yingmeng and the rest felt a little ashamed. They had not expected Snow Li to be so decisive. When they had finally come to their senses, they felt that they should have live or die together. How could they allow Snow Li to face the two fierce and ruthless monsters by herself?

Snow Li was only trying to raise the morale. She didn't have any confidence at all. Fighting head on would definitely not be possible. These type of ice beasts were the sacred beasts of the Aisbotan and could be considered to have the protection of the star. Fighting against them would be futile. The only option was to run and hope that they could escape. It was just that she couldn't understand what was happening. The ice beasts would usually not initiate an attack. Even if the other party was human, as long as the human did not take the initiative to taunt them, they would not have taken action. Yet these two mature ice beasts were berserk once they appeared.

Snow Li didn't have time to think much about it. She only hoped that the two ice beasts would not chase after her relentlessly.

However, her hopes were dashed. The two ice beasts' movement on the icefield were indeed extremely fast. They were the rulers of Aisbotan. The truth was the Hail Cloud Alliance had thought about cleansing these beasts when they conquered Aisbotan. It was just that the humans were entering the end of the interstellar navigation era at that time and the Milky Way Alliance had requested to protect the primitive animals. The other reason was that the costs on the mecha units and sacrifice would be too high in dealing with the ice beasts. In the past, dealing with these types of lifeforms would be to initiate destructive blows directly from space fleets. However, this would be a problem on Aisbotan. The habitats of these ice beasts were still a mystery. If they had really conducted a destructive attack, it might not have the effects intended and they could have damaged the balance of Aisbotan instead. In the end, they still decided to give up and resulted in the current protective exploration.

The Ice Wolf mech had collided with the ice beasts. That was no different from a collision with a mech other than the fact that this impact was stronger. The two ice beasts became even more enraged and they had chemistry in cooperation. They were spread out. One on the left and the right and would even move up one after another. This had caused Snow Li a headache. Her Ice Ability did not have much effect on the ice beasts as well.

This was the most crucial point.

Mech warriors who had risen with their Ability X would have suffered an extremely huge blow on their confidence when their Ability X was ineffective. Snow Li was depending entirely on her energy shield. She was trying to last as long as possible.

Even if she wanted to leave now, she wouldn't be able to. Snow Li had thought of many ways to die but had never expected this to be the case. She had not thought that she would die on her own planet in the hands of the ice beasts.

The genius who was born in the year of the Dancing Ice Dragon?

The truth was Snow Li didn't feel that she was a genius at all. Since young, she had been bearing the name of a genius and the one who was blessed. She had always been working hard and hope that she wouldn't disappoint those around her. Whenever she recalled her parents' pride and happiness, she would always feel that she must definitely succeed.

From IG to the Elite Academy, she had never given up and had persisted on. However, a girl would always have a time when she felt tired. Only when she was around Wang Zheng that she could feel that she could depend on him. This feeling was really great.

If only Wang Zheng was around.

Unfortunately he wasn't around and his death was also unknown. Sometimes when she think about it, if they couldn't be born in the same year, same month and same day, dying in the same place might not be too bad.

Probably only girls would have such a poetic and artistic ideal at this moment. The way the ice beasts dealt with the energy shield was also different from others. Their claws were emanating a special cold aura. With every attack, the energy shield was degrading constantly.

There were many unique lifeforms in the universe and the ice beasts were undoubtedly not the strongest. However, in Aisbotan, they indeed enjoyed exceptional advantages.

After persisting for some time, the energy shield of the Ice Wolf mech had dissipated. The warning siren on the mech could be heard. Snow Li had originally intended to fight to her death. With her strength, exchanging her life for one of the beasts wouldn't be a problem. However, she suddenly had a thought. What would that be for?

The two ice peats pounced over ruthlessly.

Snow Li had closed her eyes. Boom...

After a large explosion, the surrounding environment was silent. Snow Li could feel that her body was flying up. The mech was smashed onto the floor heavily and it seemed that something had pounced towards her. Was she dying? She hoped that the ice beasts wouldn't eat her. She wanted to stay pretty as she died and it would be best if she could be buried undernealth the snow and ice. Perhaps a few hundred or thousand years later, someone could dig her out.

"Snow, Snow, wake up!" Wang Zheng roared. He had not expected to see Snow Li here. Without a doubt, that aura was definitely Snow Li's. In the pure Qi of Aisbotan, any aura was especially clear to Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was also looking for survivors and had not expected to meet Snow Li.

Snow Li seemed to have heard Wang Zheng's voice. She couldn't help but revealed a smile. "This was strange, I thought I was already dead. How could I hear his voice? I haven't asked him if he liked me..."

Wang Zheng called Snow a few times but there wasn't any response. The Overlord mech was facing two ice beasts. He was finally able to find one that wasn't so badly damaged amongst the mecha of the pirates. He had not expected to encounter 2 ice beasts. After taking the blow for Snow Li previously, the problem with the mech was bigger now. If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have been so fierce when he was killing the pirates.

His Ability X had damaged the mech quite badly. He had wanted to use Bartley's mech but it had been completely wasted. Only this Overlord mech could be barely used.

Wang Zheng was also complaining incessantly. The 2 ice beasts were attacking even more frantically. They seemed to have been agitated by something and were attacking the Overlord with their lives. The energy shield of the Overlord was already destroyed and it was left with a physical shield to defend with.

Boom…

The shield was swatted aside by the ice beasts. Wang Zheng knew that this was a life and death moment. The truth was he was fond of these intelligent lifeforms. It was just that either he would die or the ice beasts would perish. He also had to fight for his life now.
