"I don't know what you're talking about." Bai Li felt the intense hostility radiating from the Iron Armored Bears. Her petite frame trembled slightly as she instinctively hid behind Lin Yaoyao, tightly clutching the edge of her clothes. Feeling the tug, Lin Yaoyao looked down at Bai Li hiding behind her, her eyes darkening slightly. She raised her hand and summoned her Flying Sword. Bai Li was startled by the sudden change and instinctively hid behind Lin Yaoyao, clutching the edge of her clothes as the white blade reflected the cold sunlight. She stared coldly at the three Iron Armored Bears, an icy Aura radiating from her as she hid behind Lin Yaoyao, tightly clutching her clothes.
She looked solemn, standing vigilantly beside Lin Yaoyao, ready to support at any moment. Yaoyao felt Bai Li's fear and gently patted her hand to comfort her, her gaze turning sharp as she summoned her Flying Sword. The Flying Sword hovered before her, emitting a faint cold light, and the air around the blade seemed to freeze. She stared coldly at the three... A tense atmosphere filled the forest, and the air felt as if it had solidified.
Seeing Lin Yaoyao and Shen Mo taking a combat stance, the three Iron Armored Bears roared in unison. The deafening roar echoed through the armored bears, as a powerful Aura erupted from her, making her seem like a different person.
Seeing this, Shen Mo immediately drew the side sword from her waist. The moment the blade left its scabbard, it let out a crisp Dragon's cry. Her expression was solemn as the mountain forest rustled. They swung their massive paws, sharp claws glinting with a cold light, as they pounced toward Lin Yaoyao and Shen Mo simultaneously. A foul, nauseating stench wafted toward them.
Lin Yaoyao's eyes sharpened. Her slender fingers moved as she stood vigilantly beside Bai Li, ready to support at any moment. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, falling onto Shen Mo's face and reflecting the determination in her eyes.
Lin Yaoyao controlled her Flying Sword to meet the Iron Armored Bears' attack. The sword light flashed, quick as lightning, clashing with the bears' sharp claws and producing ear-piercing metallic clangs as sparks flew in all directions. Fallen leaves in the forest clearing were swept up by the turbulent airflow, forming a small vortex. They swung their massive paws and pounced toward Lin Yaoyao and Shen Mo at the same time. Their Speed was incredibly fast, bringing a gust of wild wind that kicked up leaves and dust, blotting out the sky.
Lin Yaoyao's eyes sharpened as she controlled the Flying Sword to meet them. The sword light flashed, and a vortex formed.
Taking advantage of Lin Yaoyao drawing the Iron Armored Bears' attention, Shen Mo nimbly circled to the side of one bear and thrust her long sword toward the soft part of its belly. However, the Iron Armored Bear's armor was exceptionally thick. Although Shen Mo's sword was sharp, it was like a silver snake dancing wildly, clashing with the bear's claws and producing ear-piercing metallic sounds. Sparks flew, drawing dazzling arcs in the air. Lin Yaoyao's figure was light as she flexibly dodged the bear's attacks while constantly controlling her sword, yet she only managed to leave a shallow scratch on the armor. Shen Mo frowned, thinking to herself that this was bad.
The stung Iron Armored Bear let out an angry roar and swung around, its massive paw swatting down at Shen Mo. Unable to dodge in time, Shen Mo could only raise her sword to block as she countered with her Flying Sword.
Shen Mo took the opportunity to circle to the side of one Iron Armored Bear and swung her sword at its belly. However, the bear's armor was unusually thick, and Shen Mo's sword only left a shallow scratch. The Iron Armored Bear roared in pain. With a loud "bang," Shen Mo was knocked back several steps by the immense force. The web of her thumb throbbed with pain, and her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
Bai Li, hiding behind Lin Yaoyao, watched Shen Mo fall into a disadvantageous position, her heart filled with anxiety. She mustered her courage and stepped out from behind Lin Yaoyao. "I... I can help!" Bai Li's voice trembled, but her eyes were firm.
Bai Li took a deep breath, channeling the weak spiritual power within her body and struggling to condense it in her palm. As her spiritual power circulated, a white light sphere gradually formed in her hand. She stepped out, channeling her weak spiritual power to condense a white light sphere. Though the light sphere wasn't large, it emitted a soft glow, illuminating Bai Li's nervous little face. She threw the light sphere with all her might toward one of the Iron Armored Bears.
Although the Speed of the light sphere wasn't fast, it accurately hit the Iron Armored Bear's face. "Ow!" The Iron Armored Bear let out a cry of pain. From the eye hit by the light sphere... although it didn't cause substantial damage, it successfully interfered with its attack, buying Shen Mo a moment to breathe. Shen Mo took the chance to retreat and regroup with Lin Yaoyao. The two stood back-to-back, watching the enemies before them warily.
"Bai Li, are you okay?" Lin Yaoyao asked with concern, her gaze sweeping over her to confirm she wasn't injured.
Bai Li shook her head. "I'm fine, Sister Yaoyao. Let's defeat them together!" She clenched her small fists, her eyes filled with determination.
"Alright!" Lin Yaoyao smiled, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
Lin Yaoyao flicked her wrist, and the Flying Sword let out a humming sound, the spiritual power fluctuations around the blade growing more intense. Her gaze was sharp as she stared intently at the three Iron Armored Bears before them. "Shen Mo, you two focus on the two smaller ones; I'll handle the big one," she said. With a flick of her finger, the Flying Sword turned into a streak of light and shot straight toward the largest Iron Armored Bear.
Shen Mo nodded and gripped her sword tightly, pointing the tip at one of the smaller Iron Armored Bears. "Understood." Her footsteps were light as she moved quickly to the side of the Iron Armored Bear, searching for an opportunity to strike.
