Mu Ningxue held the Ice Crystal Brake Bow, with a force of wind swirling around her.
Her graceful figure slowly floated up.
Her silver hair danced wildly, her slender, soft arms slowly rose, and she, gently floating, was like a radiant elf maiden embracing the wind and snow!
The surrounding temperature dropped lower and lower. Mu Ningxue's fingers slightly bent, and she drew the stringless Ice Crystal Brake Bow.
Star charts around her lit up one by one, intertwining and shining, finally forming a pure white constellation that merged into the Ice Crystal Brake Bow.
"Close to One Thought, One Rule!" Lin Chen commented with a smile.
Jiang Shaoxu, on the side, frowned, the sense of urgency in her heart evident!
...
The battle between the National Government Team and the Crimson Crack Fiend intensified, but fortunately, they suffered no casualties.
"Everyone, get back!!!"
Just then, everyone heard a loud shout from not far away!
At the same time, a cold sensation suddenly struck.
Everyone instinctively retreated, only to see a blue-ice arrow breaking through the air!
The Crimson Crack Fiend also felt a strong sense of crisis. It wanted to dodge but was ultimately a step too slow.
"Pfft..."
The ice-blue arrow pierced into the Crimson Crack Fiend's glabella. The Crimson Crack Fiend stood dumbfounded, unmoving, as if it had lost its spirit.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The next second, extreme cold ice surged from the Crimson Crack Fiend's glabella. The ice started from its glabella and continuously spread throughout its body. In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Crack Fiend's massive demon body was frozen, turning into a gigantic ice sculpture.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. Their gazes followed the direction from which the arrow came, only to see Mu Ningxue holding the Ice Crystal Brake Bow suspended in the air, her silver long hair fluttering in the wind, like an unparalleled female War God!
"Dead?" Nan Jue suddenly asked.
"Dead!!!! The Crimson Crack Fiend is dead!" Ai Jiangtu confirmed. His Space Element magic attainment was not low, and just now he discovered that the Crimson Crack Fiend's essence soul quickly flew towards Mu Ningxue.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They knew best how powerful the Crimson Crack Fiend was, but they never expected that the Crimson Crack Fiend, which so many of them couldn't defeat, was annihilated by a single arrow from Mu Ningxue. As everyone recovered, their thoughts varied. They had originally thought Mu Ningxue was at most a powerful vase, but now they realized she was no vase; she was clearly a big shot.
Mo Fan, perhaps having known something all along, was the first to recover and anxiously said, "Now is not the time to rest. We must eliminate all the Crimson Ling Fiends."
After the Crimson Crack Fiend was completely dead, the smaller fiends also felt like retreating and wanted to escape.
Hearing this, everyone came to their senses and attacked the surrounding sea monsters.
Lin Chen and the other two, not far away, also joined the battle. After seeing the gap between herself and Mu Ningxue, Jiang Shaoxu was filled with determination. Her eyes glowed with a silver fluorescence, and as her Mind Element magic was released, the surrounding smaller fiends became chaotic. The smaller fiends who originally wanted to escape instead attacked the National Government Team, which was tantamount to suicide.
After an unknown amount of time, with everyone's concerted efforts, all the smaller fiends were finally eliminated.
Everyone saw Mu Ningxue's contributions: not only did she freeze the fragmented island and the sea, but she also killed the Crimson Crack Fiend.
Led by Ai Jiangtu, several sensible team members expressed their gratitude to Mu Ningxue.
One must know that Mu Ningxue was only a substitute, yet this substitute played a far greater role than these main players.
Of course, those who understand will always understand, and those who don't, one shouldn't expect them to.
People like Zu Jimin showed no indication whatsoever, treating it as none of his business.
During this demon-extermination trip, everyone suffered some injuries, more or less. After returning to the ship, Nan Rongni, who specialized in healing magic, also began to play her role.
The demon-extermination trip was very exhausting. Everyone rested and recovered as needed. What Lin Chen didn't expect was that the usually chatty Jiang Shaoxu actually quietly began to cultivate. This was truly a good thing!!!!
...
Upon returning to Feiniao City, everyone submitted the Crimson Crack Fiend mission and entered a short adjustment period.
The National Government Team also reported the situation in Feiniao City. The previous Feiniao City municipal government, which had intentionally condoned sea monsters and acted irresponsibly, was also thoroughly investigated!
The final outcome, instead, benefited Lin Chen. Jiang Tianyuan, through connections, directly replaced the Feiniao City municipal government with his own people. He had originally planned to completely hand over Feiniao City to Lin Chen, and with this excuse, the process became even smoother.
Lin Chen also achieved his intended goal. In the early stages of investing in Feiniao City, he often went to the outskirts of Feiniao City to farm monsters, but he deliberately left those Crimson Ling Fiends behind. This was also a bit of his own self-interest. In a World where people eat people and demons eat people, how could one survive without some cunning?
Lin Chen was not a saint. His character setting has always been only one: to live for himself and for those he cares about.
Now, the hidden danger in Feiniao City was completely resolved. Jiang Xin seized the opportunity to complete her final bottom-fishing, which also made Lin Chen the true Emperor of Feiniao City. The layout of these past few years could be considered a success.
It wouldn't be long before Feiniao City would become a true first-tier city.
Of course, Lin Chen was not a heartless person. While Lin Chen ate meat, he would always share some soup with others. Those victimized families ultimately received a large sum of compensation provided by Lin Shi Group!
Lin Shi Group also gained the support of the citizens of Feiniao City because of this!
(Don't criticize the author for being heartless. The original plot was like this. The protagonist in the author's writing is inherently a refined egoist, merely taking advantage of the Crimson Ling Fiend incident to speculate and completely bring Feiniao City into his possession! Additionally, let me emphasize that the protagonist previously farmed monsters only in the non-An Boundary areas around Feiniao City. Please read carefully before discussing!)
...
A few days later, the National Government Team boarded the cruise ship prepared by Jiang Xin and sailed towards the Pacific Ocean...
Lin Chen Group had long held a crucial position in Feiniao City, with its industries being very extensive. It could be said that the daily lives of Feiniao City's citizens had long been inseparable from Lin Shi Group. And Lin Chen Group was still developing rapidly outwards, but no matter how fast Lin Chen Group developed, Lin Chen never allowed this beautiful blue city of Feiniao City to develop any heavy industry!
He wouldn't in the past, he wouldn't now, and he wouldn't in the future. In Lin Chen's plan, Feiniao City's future development would focus on environmental protection and ecology. Lin Chen was determined to build Feiniao City into the most suitable city for human habitation.
As the cruise ship slowly sailed out of the An Boundary, seeing the beautiful scenery where water and sky merged, their mood couldn't help but become pleasant. The previous events gradually began to fade from everyone's memory.
