SS Awakening: My Monster Merging System!

Chapter 266: True Training Begins with Hunting [2]

The other side of the passage was no longer a flat ice field, but an enormous valley surrounded by black ice mountains, with a blizzard continuously surging out from the depths of the valley, mixed with waves of low magical beast roars.

"That place is Frosthowl Valley. A large number of high level magical beasts live there." Razeil looked at Zich. "Your task is to find the Frostfang Wolf pack within three hours, kill their Wolf King, and bring back the soul stones inside the Wolf King’s body."

"What level is the Wolf King?"

"When I last saw it, Level 29."

’That weak?’ Zich’s eyebrows rose slightly.

An ordinary Level 29 magical beast could no longer be considered impossible for the current him to fight; since a Wolf King would never act alone, what was truly dangerous was not the Wolf King itself, but the entire wolf pack controlled by it.

"How many summons can I use?"

"You can use only your current summons, the skeletons and the others I know about." Razeil paused before adding, "Don’t use any of your trump cards. If you do, then what I am training is not a summoner, but a spectator who is good at hiding behind a dragon."

Zich could not refute her.

With the strength of Tiamant or the Myriad Beast Chimera, ordinary Level 29 magical beasts could not pose any threat at all; allowing either to join the battle would indeed make this training lose most of its meaning.

"Are there any other restrictions?"

"Whether it is you or your summons, none of you can leave Frosthowl Valley. After any summon that has already been summoned is completely destroyed, it also cannot be summoned again."

Razeil paused for a moment.

"I will observe the entire process. If you truly face death, I will act. However, as long as I act, the training will be considered a failure."

Zich stood up, brushing away the ice fragments stuck to his clothes.

"What if I succeed?"

"You can rest for the remaining time today."

Zich looked at her without speaking.

"And there is also the apprenticeship gift you have been thinking about all this time."

"If you had said that earlier, I would already be inside." The corners of Zich’s mouth rose slightly as he directly walked toward the spatial passage.

Just as he was about to step inside, Razeil’s voice sounded again.

"Do not think that because you just learned how to observe four battlefields at the same time, you have truly mastered the fighting method of a summoner."

"The attacks of the ice puppets have patterns, and they will not change their targets because they discover your identity. But real magical beasts will observe, probe, and set traps. When they realize who the core of all the summons is, they will cross past your summons and directly kill you."

"Got it, Master."

Zich and the four undead skeleton soldiers stepped into the spatial passage at the same time.

A bone piercing cold wind instantly attacked from the front.

[Spatial teleportation completed.]

[Current Area: Winter Realm, Frosthowl Valley.]

[Area Recommended Level: Level 20 to Level 30.]

[Warning: A large number of hostile lifeforms exist nearby.]

Zich didn’t go deeper into the valley.

Four black summoning formations unfolded around him one after another, the dense summoning light dispersing the nearby blizzard.

Slimy appeared first, its soft body quickly coming to Zich’s side; the Silverback Ape Warrior clenched both fists and stood on the left, with Iron dragging its heavy bone sword to the right.

Together with the four undead skeleton soldiers, seven summons had already gathered around Zich.

The four undead skeleton soldiers first scattered in different directions, taking responsibility for observing the surroundings. The Silverback Ape Warrior and Iron remained more than ten meters away from Zich; instead of staying closely beside him, Slimy opened a little distance that allowed it to release Silk Barrier at any time.

The team had advanced less than three hundred meters into the depths of Frosthowl Valley when, in the image sent back by the skeleton soldier on the far left, an extremely weak energy fluctuation suddenly appeared beneath the ice.

Zich quickly made that skeleton soldier stop advancing.

The next second, the ice layer exploded with a loud bang!

A Frostfang Wolf covered entirely in gray white fur rushed out from underground, its sharp fangs directly biting toward the skeleton soldier’s neck.

The skeleton soldier suddenly lowered its body.

The Frostfang Wolf flew over its head, only for the Silverback Ape Warrior to rush out before it even had time to land and smash a fist into the Frostfang Wolf’s waist.

Bang!

The enormous force directly blasted the Frostfang Wolf into the ice wall, large amounts of shattered ice splashing in every direction.

Almost at the same time that the first Frostfang Wolf launched its attack, two more figures also leaped out from the blizzard behind Zich, paying no attention to Iron, who was closest to them.

Crossing past the summons, both Frostfang Wolves directly charged toward Zich!

Razeil’s warning just now immediately flashed through his mind.

These magical beasts had already determined who the summoner was.

Slimy’s body rapidly expanded at that moment, allowing a semitransparent Silk Barrier to block the area behind Zich before the two Frostfang Wolves approached.

Bang! Bang!

The two Frostfang Wolves crashed into the barrier at the same time.

Turning its body, Iron swept out its sword, directly sending one of the Frostfang Wolves flying; the other had just landed when the fourth skeleton soldier’s bone blade pierced into its front leg from the side, forcibly interrupting its next pounce.

Only then did Zich turn around.

A blood colored arc of light slashed out from his hand, accurately landing on the Frostfang Wolf’s completely unguarded throat.

Blood splashed onto the snow.

[Ding, you have killed Frostfang Wolf.]

[Ding, you have obtained the Spirit Orb of the Frostfang Wolf.]

The first Frostfang Wolf that had been blasted into the ice wall by the Silverback Ape Warrior also lost the ability to resist, with the final one completely suppressed by Iron.

Despite the battle only lasting less than twenty seconds from beginning to end, Zich didn’t reveal any relaxed expression.

Frostfang Wolves were group living magical beasts.

There were only three in front of him, which meant that they were very likely only the vanguard responsible for testing the prey.

Sure enough, less than several seconds after the first Frostfang Wolf died, a long wolf howl suddenly sounded from the depths of the valley.

Awoo!

The sound continuously echoed between the ice mountains on both sides.

A second and third wolf howl came from different directions immediately afterward.

The system prompts then appeared before Zich’s eyes.

[You have been locked onto by the Frostfang Wolf pack.]

[Nearby hostile life auras are rapidly increasing.]

Zich raised his head.

At the top of an ice cliff several hundred meters away, a silver white giant wolf whose body was far larger than an ordinary Frostfang Wolf slowly walked out of the blizzard, its ice blue eyes crossing past all the summons and directly landing on Zich.

[Frostfang Wolf King]

[Level: Level 29]

Behind the Wolf King, pair after pair of dim blue eyes lit up one after another.

Zich had originally still planned to first search for the location of the wolf pack.

Now, it seemed there was already no need.

His prey had taken the initiative to come to his door.
