Chapter 432 Ice and Flame

"It's so powerful!"

Xiang Hongbin was amazed when he saw Xiaobing and Xiaohuo's performance.

Jiang Shixue said nothing, but her eyes were also surprised.

Wang Tao explained:

"It's attribute restraint. The fire attribute should restrain the ice attribute..."

Xiang Hongbin looked at the ice and snow around him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"If that's the case, wouldn't Xiao Huo be invincible in this environment?"

"If all the zombies outside mutate into these frozen zombies, it's really hard to say..."

Wang Tao waved, and Xiao Bing and Xiao Huo immediately ran to Wang Tao's shoulders - Wang Tao actually couldn't make Xiao Huo obey orders, because Qu Shilin was its master, but Wang Tao could use Xiao Bing or Lightning Go and convey your thoughts to Xiaohuo. Xiaohuo is also very smart. When Qu Shilin is not around, he is willing to listen to Wang Tao.

"Can you two continue spitting ice and fire?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

call--

Xiaobing's little mouth opened, and a stream of icy blue air spurted out to the side, and the surrounding area instantly became several degrees colder.

After Xiaobing finished spitting, Xiaohuo also spit out fire, which raised the surrounding temperature a lot.

"This awakening of you two is a bit interesting..."

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

The introduction to their awakenings stated that they could breathe ice and fire within the duration, which made Wang Tao think that this ability was similar to his Catching Fire, an awakening that broke out in a short period of time. After all, it said "for the duration."

But it doesn’t seem to be the case now. How long has it been, and they can still spit out ice and fire...

It's a pity that Wang Tao can't see how much awakening energy they have, otherwise he would know what's going on.

However, Xiaobing was hatched from Wang Tao's blood, and it had some connection with Wang Tao. It sensed Wang Tao's doubts, so it demonstrated the ice spray with Wang Tao, and Xiaohuo also helped with the demonstration.

After some demonstrations by the two of them and guesswork with Wang Tao, Wang Tao seemed to understand what was going on.

The awakening of these two is similar to the superpower. The corresponding amount of awakening energy is consumed as long as it takes to awaken. Unlike Wang Tao's Catching Fire, which starts with 100 awakening energy and takes at least 10 seconds. And their awakening can be used at any time, and can also be turned off at any time, even if it only takes 0.5 seconds! So there is no unnecessary waste and no cool down time!

In terms of convenience and consumption of awakening energy, their awakenings are better than Wang Tao's awakenings.

But this kind of awakening is not without its shortcomings. This shortcoming lies in themselves - because they cannot fuse the crystal core, they cannot rely on the crystal core to replenish awakening energy. They can only rely on time to recover slowly, although their recovery time is much shorter than that of humans...

If their awakening energy is exhausted and cannot be replenished in a short period of time, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

So they are strong, but it is best not to exhaust the awakening energy at once.

But soon, Wang Tao discovered that although they could not fuse crystal nuclei, they could eat awakening energy beads, and they were effective!

In other words, they are not completely unable to replenish their awakening energy!

Of course, this awakening energy bead is very rare, much rarer than the crystal core, and Wang Tao doesn't have many in his hands... So under normal circumstances, it is better to use it sparingly and rely on time to slowly recover. In an emergency, use the awakening energy beads...

After figuring out the principles behind their awakenings, Wang Tao felt that these two awakenings were quite powerful. Most people would regard awakening as a trump card, but they don't need it and can be used normally. Anyway, it is up to them to decide how much awakening energy they consume.

As for physical fitness, it is similar to what Wang Tao guessed. With their small size, their physical fitness is really not strong, which is at the level of an ordinary fourth-order lord. But it's enough for them. After all, it's impossible for them to go up and compete with people in close combat to compete physically.

“Great!”

Wang Tao touched the heads of the two little guys, then looked at Xiang Hongbin and Jiang Shixue and said:

"Let's search again. I feel like there should be more than just these frozen zombies here."

"Okay! By the way, here's this for you. Take a look at what kind of crystal core this is..."

Xiang Hongbin handed over the trophies he had just killed these zombies. These were just elite zombies and they had no materials on them, so the only things they dropped were crystal nuclei.

There are six crystal nuclei in total, three blue and three purple, very balanced. And the types of crystal nuclei are all the same.

[Level 4 Crystal Core·Ice Attribute Defense]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 35% (Side Effect: Body Stiffness)]

[Ice attribute defense: Passive ability, enhance ice attribute defense]

This crystal core contains a passive defensive power. Wang Tao thought it would be a freezing aura, but unfortunately it wasn't.

Wang Tao is not very interested in this type of ability, but then again, it is to increase ice attribute defense. If someone fuses this ability, will he become less afraid of the cold and be able to move freely in cold weather? ?

Wang Tao thinks this is possible!

"Keep the crystal core and try it with someone later if you have a chance!"

However, this crystal core is of the fourth level, which means that only awakened people can fuse it. There are not many awakened people in the base, so it is not easy to find people to experiment...

In addition to the six crystal cores, the zombies killed by Wang Tao will explode the loot package, but since it is not a leapfrog kill, the package only contains a few materials, which is of no use.

"This crystal core should increase ice attribute defense..."

Wang Tao explained briefly.

"Ice attribute defense? Will it not be afraid of cold?"

Xiang Hongbin obviously thought the same as Wang Tao.

"Let's find someone to fuse it and see what the effect is - or find someone to fuse it with, I still have some fourth-level peeling crystal cores..."

The two continued to search while communicating.

As expected, it was similar to what Wang Tao thought. There couldn't be only a few frozen zombies in such a large area. Wang Tao soon found another batch of zombies.

And the number of frozen zombies in this batch was more than the previous one, a total of 15, and they were all fourth-level elites.

"Xiao Bing, Xiao Huo, can you two try your fusion awakening?"

The two little minks obviously understood what Wang Tao said. They immediately jumped off Wang Tao's shoulders and rushed straight to the group of 15 zombies.

The wind was very loud at this time, which could cover up many sounds. The two little minks came to the zombie group in a swagger, and were discovered by the zombies.

"Hoho..."

The 15 zombies rushed towards Xiaodiao at the same time.

Whoosh——

Xiaobing and Xiaohuo opened their mouths at the same time, and ice-blue airflow and orange-red flames spewed out of their mouths respectively. They and the zombies formed an isosceles triangle distribution, and the tip of the triangle was in the direction of the zombies, which was also the intersection of ice and fire.

The group of zombies was instantly frozen, and then the flames fell on them.

Ka——

Boom!

With a loud bang, ice crystals and sparks bloomed at the same time, like a grand fireworks, brilliant and deadly.

【-62954】

【-63812】

【-64012】

【……】

Seeing this large number of damages and the 15 zombies that were almost melted in an instant, Wang Tao opened his mouth.

"Do you have to be so exaggerated..."

The fusion awakening [Ice Flame] used by Xiaobing and Xiaohuo at the same time caused more than 60,000 damage every 0.5 seconds! This frozen zombie with 200,000 HP only needs 1.5 seconds to die!

And this is a large-scale explosion damage. All fifteen zombies were hit, and none escaped! All died within 1.5 seconds!

Jiang Shixue opened her mouth slightly, obviously surprised.

"Fuck! So fierce!"

Xiang Hongbin was even more dumbfounded. He had fought with frozen zombies and knew their strength. Although this was only a fourth-level elite zombie, due to the existence of their frozen aura, their strength was much stronger than ordinary elite zombies. And most importantly, they were particularly resistant to beating! Xiang Hongbin needed almost ten seconds to kill a fourth-level frozen zombie alone.

But these two little guys were still far away, and they killed the frozen zombies almost instantly. One second or two seconds? They killed not just one or two, but a group!

They were both awakened, but why was the gap so big!

Xiang Hongbin looked at the two little minks, and then at his mechanical arm, and he doubted himself a little.

Wang Tao patted Xiang Hongbin on the shoulder when he saw this.

"What are you thinking about! It's normal that a system awakener like you can't compare to an ice or fire awakener in terms of damage. I think the advantages of a system awakener are strong physical fitness, endurance in combat, and versatility... The ice system is about control and damage, and the fire system is pure damage. If the damage of your system is higher than that of the ice and fire systems, how can you let others play with you?"

"...You have a point."

Xiang Hongbin scratched his head.

It's a pity that he couldn't see the damage numbers, otherwise he would have found that not only was Xiao Diao's damage higher than his, but even Jiang Shixue and Wang Tao's ordinary attack damage was higher than his, and Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were both system awakeners... But of course they can't be judged by common sense, one is more abnormal than the other. Compared with other awakeners, Xiang Hongbin is already very strong.

"Jiji--"

The two little minks were very economical. They only vomited for two seconds. After they were sure that the zombies were dead, they ran to Wang Tao's shoulders again.

"Great!"

Wang Tao looked at the recorder hanging on his chest and confirmed that all the little minks' battles were recorded. He then touched Xiao Bing and Xiao Huo's heads and looked at the battlefield.

It was a mess here. The snow on the ground had all melted, and the land under the thick snow had been blown into a pit. The explosion range was covered by ice crystals and sparks. Wang Tao felt that it was cold and hot here...

But soon, these ice crystals were melted by the high temperature, and the flames gradually extinguished. Everything returned to silence, with only the whistling wind and a dozen shining crystal cores on the ground. As for those zombies... they had been blown to pieces long ago.

"Really strong, really strong! It feels like this thing is a human bomb! And it's much more convenient than bombs..."

Xiang Hongbin couldn't stop praising.

Wang Tao nodded. Before awakening, the psychics were still afraid of thermal weapons, but after awakening, the damage caused by the awakened was almost the same as that of thermal weapons. It is estimated that it will not take long before they can completely surpass thermal weapons.

Of course, at present, humans are still relatively fragile. Even defensive system awakeners can still be killed by thermal weapons, so they still have to be careful...

After Wang Tao picked up the crystal core, he said to several people:

"Let's wait a while and see if the explosion just now will attract zombies."

"Okay!"

Wang Tao waited for a while, and two waves of zombies came, one with three and one with four, all of which were fourth-level elite frozen zombies.

This time, Wang Tao did not let the two little guys do it. He put them on Lightning's head and ran towards the four zombies.

At the same time, a small fireball appeared in his hand.

Wang Tao had long wanted to try his fire damage. It was too wasteful to use Sparks to start a prairie fire. A small fireball was enough.

When the fireball in Wang Tao's hand grew bigger, he threw it out directly.

Boom——

The sound of the fireball explosion was much smaller than that of the Frost Flame, and the scene was not as spectacular as that of the Frost Flame, but this damage...

[-142344]

[-28486]

[-28486]

[-648]

[0/200000]

Ah?

Wang Tao himself was stunned. He knocked off 200,000 HP of the frozen zombies with one fireball? Four frozen zombies with 200,000 HP were killed instantly!

I have to say, this six-digit damage number is really cool to look at!

However, Wang Tao calculated carefully, although this damage number is exaggerated, it is actually normal.

When his fireball attacks the fourth-level lord, the damage is generally around 30,000. The defense of this elite zombie is estimated to be only half of that of the lord. Even if he can cause more than 60,000 damage, plus the zombie is ice attribute, judging from the attack of small ice and small fire, the damage of fire attribute attacking ice attribute seems to be doubled. If 60,000 is doubled again, the 140,000 damage of the explosion is almost the same. After the fireball exploded and burned several times, it killed a zombie with 200,000 blood...

Compared with the two little minks, the instantaneous damage of the fireball explosion is higher, the number is more gorgeous, and it is more like "instant kill".

But the little mink has higher continuous damage, which can cause more than 60,000 damage every 0.5 seconds! If facing an enemy with more blood, such as a frozen zombie with 400,000 blood, Wang Tao will have to use two fireballs. But for the two minks, it only takes 1.5 seconds longer to spray... So minks are suitable for attacking enemies with more blood, provided that their awakening energy is sufficient.

But then again, Wang Tao's fireball is just a superpower, not an awakening... If he uses awakening, how much damage will it cause?

"Damn, it's so perverted! Both the owner and the pet are perverted!"

Xiang Hongbin muttered.

The three zombies here were also quickly dealt with, and then everyone continued to go deeper.

An hour later, Wang Tao and his friends returned to the car.

"What happened? Are there any zombies?"

Everyone asked hurriedly.

"Didn't you hear the explosion just now?"

"No..."

"It seems that the blizzard blocked the sound transmission."

Wang Tao took out the recorder on his chest and played it, and explained the previous situation by the way.

Hearing the appearance of the new mutant zombie, the frozen zombie, everyone looked very unhappy. The situation they were most worried about still happened - when humans were hiding in the base, the zombies had adapted to the ice and snow!

If the blizzard continues and humans dare not go out, then humans will be even more unable to catch up with the evolution of zombies...

But the battle between Xiaobing and Xiaohuo in the back instantly excited everyone. Especially Qu Shilin, her mouth was crooked with laughter, this is her Xiaohuo!

"Xiaohuo, how can you be so strong! Trojan~" Qu Shilin kissed Xiaohuo fiercely "Wait, this is the fusion awakening of you and Xiaobing... Oh my! Instant kill!"
