Chapter 580 The Magicians Are the Challengers!!!

Xia Xiu sat on a light stool, equipped with all the portable fishing equipment. He was concentrating on fishing in a small ice hole he had just opened.

The silver fishing rod in his hand was carved with delicate reliefs, and the silk thread was fishing along the ice hole on the cold lake.

The fish that had been caught had been carefully placed in a special container on the side. These containers were designed with oxygen supply to ensure that the fish would not suffocate when temporarily stored.

"Ha~"

Next to him, a large dog with white hair and red eyes lay lazily on the ice, breathing out. Its side carefully accompanied the young silver-gray, who curiously observed the surrounding environment.

However, in this quiet night, not far below the lake, danger was approaching silently.

The Horned Snake and its two cadres, Scarface Alex Reynolds and Lisa Morgan with big blonde waves, hid in the turbid water and approached upward through dense water plants and undercurrents.

The huge body of the [Horned Snake] swam in the cold water, dragging a shadow-like figure behind it, spitting out cold snake tongues.

Two San Diego Rockets cadres moved through a transparent bubble formed by magic, which was filled with the air they needed to breathe.

The tense atmosphere underwater contrasted sharply with the tranquility on the lake.

The female cadre Lisa with big blond waves looked at the vague figure on the ice, and a trace of undisguised murderous intent flashed in her eyes. She made a decisive gesture to Alex with a scar on his face, intending to directly eliminate the target.

She whispered through their special communication device:

"Let the Horned Snake act directly and end the enemy beastmaster."

In the Rockets' code of conduct, there are often not too many head-on confrontations, nor are there upright beastmaster duels. Their mission is only for the ultimate goal of the consortium-controlling all beastmasters.

In the new world development and new world pioneering movement caused by the beast control system, beast control masters and cowboys in the past are always put together, giving them beautiful imaginations - cowboys are revolver duels, while beast control masters are upright beast control duels.

These duels really exist, but the way they duel is not as beautiful as imagined.

In the beast control competition within the Federation, because the beast control duel is financialized and commercialized, it is difficult to enforce the rules and regulations; however, outside the competition, if you still follow the rules and regulations of the academic school, then what is the difference between you and a fool.

Beast control duel ≠ beast control duel!

It is more reliable and faster to kill the beast control master than to kill the beast control!

Scarface looked at the figure fishing above, and there was still a subtle feeling in his heart, but he couldn't explain this feeling clearly, because a certain strange intuition to attack an enemy of unknown origin was indeed a bit inconsistent with the style of the Rockets, even if it was endorsed by the think tank.

However, a subtle influence in his heart made him ignore the logical [error]. The only thing he could think of at this time was that the other party might not be just a beastmaster. He said to Lisa:

"The other party might also be a thaumaturge. If the assassination fails, we must be prepared for battle."

After hearing this, Lisa smiled confidently, and her voice was full of fighting passion:

"As beastmasters who have completed the [genetic compilation and sequencing] of the consortium, and possessing the power of the Federation's native mythical creature, the horned snake, how can we be defeated so easily! Don't worry, any threat will be wiped out in the face of our power."

"The consortium represents the strongest beastmaster system in modern times, and is destined to reach the top of the extraordinary way. The beastmaster system has never been a new era challenger..."

"Thaumaturges are the challengers!!!"

As they talked, the [horned snake] swam quietly underwater, and its huge body drove the surrounding water to form tiny ripples.

The scales on its body reflected a faint glow in the weak light, and the cold breath of the snake's tongue merged with the lake water, all of which foreshadowed the upcoming conflict.

The monster's ferocious eyes stared at Xia Xiu and his beasts on the ice through the bubbles.

Those malicious eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thick ice, and their murderous intent was strong, as if they had foreseen the upcoming hunt.

This huge mysterious creature looked directly at the ice above through the clear bubbles, and its cold eyes were full of ferocious murderous intent.

Lisa's blonde hair floated slightly underwater, and she whistled gently, which was a signal for battle.

"Swish! ! ! "

[Horned Snake] felt the command, and its huge body accumulated power in the water, and then rushed towards the target on the ice.

Long——

Xia Xiu and his beasts on the ice felt the unusual vibration.

The large dog with white hair and red eyes was instantly alert, his ears stood up, his fangs exposed, and his body was tense like a bow about to attack.

A cold light flashed in Xia Xiu's eyes. He seemed to have anticipated some potential threat, but his expression was unusually calm, even with a hint of playfulness. An infinity symbol "∞" suddenly appeared under his feet.

BOOM! ! !

With a deafening roar, a huge [horned snake] suddenly rushed out from under the ice. Its huge mouth was like an abyss, rushing straight up to the sky from bottom to top.

Boom~

At this moment, the center of the ice seemed to be hit by an invisible huge force, cracking rapidly, spreading around like a spider web.

Pitter-patter——

As the horned snake flew out, a huge column of water suddenly broke through the ice, rushing into the sky like a river flowing backwards, and then turned into a heavy rain, pouring down on the broken ice like a waterfall. The scene was spectacular and shocking.

In this devastating scene, almost at the moment when the ice collapsed, the "∞" symbol under the blond young man's feet suddenly collapsed, and the space around him twisted and compressed.

Whoosh——

His figure disappeared at the critical moment and teleported 200 meters away.

His right hand still held the silver fishing rod firmly, put it on his shoulder, and his left hand held the fish box full of harvest, floating on the fragmented ice.

The "∞" that appeared under his feet steadily supported his calm posture in this chaos. When the rain in the air was about to bathe him, it quietly bent and evaded.

At the same time, Jiam showed amazing reaction ability and physical fitness in the crisis.

At the moment when the [Horned Snake] suddenly attacked with its huge mouth, Jiamu's body expanded rapidly, and using its amazing explosive power, he made a powerful jump and safely avoided the direct attack with Yinhui.

At this moment, his body also expanded to several times the normal size, floating on the lake surface that was broken by the impact, and his fierce eyes locked on the monster that rushed out of the lake.

Under his feet, broken ice blocks floated like islands.

Standing on the water surface covered with broken ice, Xia Xiu faced the lurking huge monster, and his golden eyes showed undisguised displeasure.

Electric fish, poison fish, and fry fish.

Ground traps, dense mesh nets, and family-killing nets.

These are the six taboos of fishing. What fishermen hate most is to encounter people who violate the six taboos.

Now the beast in front of him, as soon as it came out, directly blew up the fish in the ice lake, and judging from its appearance and the crackling sound of electricity from time to time, it can basically be determined that this beast is also stained with electricity and poison.

Xia Xiu's golden eyes stared at the [Horned Snake] in front of him. The beast was huge, tens of meters long, and covered with hard and gleaming scales.

In the dim moonlight, every ray of light captured by these scales turned into subtle fluorescence, adding a mysterious and dangerous beauty.

Its eyes were like two dazzling gems, scarlet and deep. The most eye-catching thing was the two long horns on its head. They were gracefully bent backwards, shaped like antelope horns, and the surface was not only smooth but also dotted with gem-like depressions. These depressions shone with a faint light under the moonlight.

When Xia Xiu stared at the horned snake in the ice lake, [Adam] seemed to detect something.

**[Evil·Horned Snake]**

Geographic location: Northern Federation

Horned snakes are a mysterious creature in the mythology of the indigenous people of the northern continent of the Federation, and are common in the legends of many tribes, especially in the southeast and the Great Lakes region.

These creatures are not only deeply connected to water bodies such as lakes and rivers, but also often appear in stories related to tribal rituals and traditions.

In some cultures, horned snakes are regarded as a sacred existence.

For example, in the Cherokee tribe of the Federation, it is considered a transmitter of medical knowledge and plays a key role in teaching shamans how to use herbs for treatment and reveal future secrets.

[Central Containment Room·Containment Value Rating: ★☆☆☆☆]

[PS: It has high containment value and research value. If you still remember your identity as a researcher in the Central Containment Room, please contain it and bring it back to the Central Containment Room. ]

——◇◇◇——

Facing the horned snake in front of him, Xia Xiu's thoughts were like rolling waves:

"I have too many positions and too many tasks. I almost forgot that I have not made any progress in my research identity and route in the central containment room. And I have been busy with the affairs of the Administration recently, and I have not contacted the local containment room of the Kingdom of Heaven in the Federation."

"I remember that several representatives and even the main bodies of the members of the resolution meeting are still here. I guess I will be able to get involved in the issue of the collapse of the containment room as a sword holder at that time..."

His eyes were locked on the turbulent water monster in front of him again, and he couldn't help but laugh softly:

"I really caught an interesting big fish. The evil spirit, this is a specialty of the Chaos Sea and the Red Earth Continent. I didn't expect to encounter it in the inland, and it is a tamed evil spirit. The containment value here is really high. The central containment room has been given a star, although it is only one star."

As the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven spoke, the shadows under his feet began to wriggle, and the legions lurking under the shadow of the Lord of Time began to roar with hunger.

On the other side

On the cold ice under the night sky, the huge body of the [Horned Snake] casts a horrifying image. Its fluorescent scales appear slightly blue in the moonlight, making the surrounding atmosphere even more solemn.

The two San Diego Rockets cadres standing on this giant beast do not know that they are facing an unprecedented challenge.

The rough man with scars on his face frowns, and no one knows what is going on in his heart.

He stared at the blond youth standing easily on the water. For some reason, he felt an unprecedented pressure from his shadow.

There was nothing there...

He couldn't help but lower his voice and said to his companion:

"It's a magician, Lisa, I think we..."

But before he finished speaking, Lisa was deeply attracted by the scene on the opposite side.

The blond wavy female cadre Lisa, the original vigilance and calculation on her face gradually turned into an almost instinctive hostility, and her eyes became sharper and more determined.

This change was not a rational choice, but was driven by intuition, an instinctive reaction hidden in her blood, which made her unable to control herself.

It was like "absurdity", like a triggered "error".

She interrupted Alex abruptly, with an unquestionable determination in her voice:

"Alex, release your genetic sequence beast!"

She ordered, with a tense atmosphere of the upcoming battle in her tone.

On the lake, in the cold wind, Alex seemed to see phantoms of the old battlefields, and his face became complicated.

This sudden and profound loss made him sound the alarm bell in his heart.

He looked at Lisa, his companion who was now driven by strong emotions, her eyes were red, and she almost lost her self-control and calmness, which forced Alex to re-evaluate the current situation.

Buzz buzz buzz--

A trace of clarity flashed through his mind.

This sign of dementia, isn't this the state shown by the soldiers who were affected by the enemy's magic in the Battle of Oaxaca?

In memory, this is called "element pollution", a kind of spiritual erosion that can distort people's perception and judgment, causing the affected to fall into confusion and even become vulnerable to external manipulation.

In the army, once a soldier is found to have this symptom, he is usually quickly given a rational potion injection to avoid more serious psychological damage or disorderly behavior on the battlefield.

His heart tightened. The consortium had prepared measures long ago, but... he actually forgot to use them for a while.

Scarface took a deep breath of cold air and tried to pull his thoughts back to reality.

He turned to Lisa, his tone was urgent:

"Lisa, calm down! We may all be affected by something. Remember that potion? The one distributed by the consortium, used to fight against mind control."

He tried to keep his voice firm, hoping to awaken his companion's reason.

Lisa's eyes gradually focused, and she seemed to be aware of her abnormal behavior from Alex's words.

She shook her head, trying to get rid of the nameless drive.

"Yes, the potion... How could we forget such an important thing?"

Click——

Some strange sound interrupted their conversation.
