Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 551: Chapter 550, Hunting the White Bear Monster_1

「Outside the city...」

A group of five people walked out.

The cold wind was piercing to the bone.

With every step sinking 40 centimeters into the snow, it was impossible to make good time. Each step was incredibly difficult. Walking even a short distance consumed a significant amount of physical energy.

Jiang Chen stopped walking.

Jiang Long looked back and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Are we just going to keep walking like this?"

"Of course."

"The snow is too deep."

Jiang Long said, "There’s no helping it. It’s like this all over the Bingxue Continent. Only the coastal areas don’t have such thick snow. The deeper the snow, the easier it is to find Abnormal Beasts."

"A lot of Wanderers choose places with less snow. Although there are Abnormal Beasts there, they often encounter many other Wanderers competing."

"The thicker the snow, the fewer Wanderers there are."

Jiang Hu said, "Conserve energy."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Long laughed and explained, "What he means is, talk less to maintain Energy. Two or three hours’ walk ahead, and we’re likely to find Abnormal Beasts."

Jiang Chen understood.

The deeper the snow, the easier it was to successfully obtain Abnormal Beasts. The thinner the snow, the more Wanderers there were, making competition fiercer. Often, for just one Abnormal Beast, there would be evasion and battles with each other...

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Just walking like this isn’t the best approach. If we don’t encounter any Abnormal Beasts, then it’s a problem. I actually have a method that could reduce the time spent walking."

"What method?"

"Stilts."

The others looked puzzled. What on earth were stilts?

Jiang Chen explained, "Our bodies are heavy, so we sink with every step. Moving like this consumes a lot of Energy."

"We can make stilts to step on the snow without our legs sinking in."

"Do we have any wood? We need pieces at least 50 centimeters long."

"There’s some in the city."

"Then let’s go back to the city."

The group of five headed back to the city, found some light wood, fashioned it into sticks 80 centimeters long, and then crafted something resembling a shoe on top of each.

The others watched Jiang Chen’s actions. What was this thing?

Jiang Chen stepped onto the stilts, instantly gaining 80 centimeters in height.

At that moment, the others understood. So that was it!

This way, their legs wouldn’t sink into the deep snow. They could walk with ease, and their pace was faster too.

Jiang Long laughed and said, "As expected of my little brother, finding such a method! How did you come up with this?"

"Yeah, that’s a really good idea."

"Not bad, not bad at all. Let’s make them quickly."

"Okay," Jiang Hu nodded and gave a thumbs up.

They all quickly crafted their own stilts. After an hour, they had finished, and each had their stilts. Then they set out once more, walking toward the deeper snow...

The group stepped onto the snowy ground.

Not only was it a lot easier, but their strides were also larger. Walking normally, they could only step 40 centimeters at a time, but with stilts, the distance increased by 140 centimeters.

Their pace was much faster...

Jiang Long nodded. "Good, we’re moving much faster and conserving Energy. Even lifting our feet doesn’t require as much effort."

"Not only that, but we can also go deeper, into places other Wanderers can’t reach to hunt Abnormal Beasts."

"If we increased the height even more, would we move faster?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes, if we increased the height, we would move faster. But it would be very easy for others to imitate. Before long, all the Wanderers would adopt this method."

The group had a sudden realization.

Indeed! With such convenience, surely many more would imitate. It seemed increasing the height was not an option.

The group quickly moved deeper into the snow...

「An hour later...」

A White Bear, eight meters in length, appeared before them, walking through the snowy terrain. The five people quickly gathered together.

Jiang Long sensed the wind direction and said, "We are upwind now, so the White Bear cannot smell us. However, once we get within two hundred meters, it will be able to detect us."

"Moreover, the White Bear is very fast and has strong offensive power. We must unleash our True Qi within the shortest possible time to kill it."

Jiang Yan said, "Jiang Chen, you’re new here. We’ll go first. The four of us have no problem dealing with the White Bear."

Jiang Hu nodded. "You rest. We’ll go."

Jiang Lan said, "Then let’s move!"

The four nodded and quickly discussed their strategy. Jiang Long and Jiang Hu would lead the charge, with Jiang Yan and Jiang Lan rushing out afterward. Their speed was enhanced by the stilts, so they didn’t need to burst forth with True Qi, instead using Qinggong to move swiftly across the snow.

Jiang Chen was just about to say something, when Jiang Long and Jiang Hu acted swiftly.

They hastily rushed towards the White Bear.

Right at the two-hundred-meter mark, the White Bear turned and looked at the four of them.

ROAR... With an angry roar, it charged at the four, lifting its head to release a column of ice.

Jiang Chen observed the White Bear’s actions. This White Bear can use Magic offensive attacks?

Jiang Long and Jiang Hu were well-prepared and quickly dodged the attack. Jiang Long was especially fierce, wielding his broad blade and unleashing a flurry of Knife Slashes...

WHOOSH... A Knife Slash landed on the White Bear, splattering blood.

ROAR... Enraged, the White Bear swung its paw, sending snow flying like sharp arrows towards the group...

"Be careful!"

Jiang Lan’s sword tip flickered, and a streak of Sword Qi shot towards the White Bear’s eyes, causing blood to gush forth. The four continued their assault from three meters away, releasing Sword Qi.

With the stilts, releasing Sword Qi became even faster.

In less than ten breaths, the White Bear collapsed. Jiang Long rushed over and delivered another slash, ensuring it was truly dead.

"With these stilts, killing the White Bear has become much easier!"

"This White Bear weighs at least seven or eight hundred jin, enough for us to have a sumptuous meal!"

"Let’s dismember it and quickly carry it back!"

Jiang Chen walked over, having witnessed the entire battle. They were all Fifth-stage Masters with abundant True Qi, which was crucial for Wanderers.

This was exactly what Jiang Chen lacked.

Jiang Long said, "In the wilderness, we need to swiftly dismember Abnormal Beasts and take their meat back. The blood will attract other Abnormal Beasts."

"We must evacuate in the shortest amount of time."

"Once True Qi is excessively depleted, it’s very disadvantageous for future battles."

After killing Abnormal Beasts, Wanderers would quickly leave the battlefield. They would dismember the carcass to take back; anything they couldn’t retrieve had to be abandoned.

The four acted quickly, dismembering the White Bear within a few breaths.

They carried several hundred jin of White Bear meat back in batches.

「In less than ten minutes...」

The blood attracted a large number of Abnormal Beasts. They quickly consumed the remaining meat, leaving not even bones behind.

「Cangtou Town.」

Jiang Long gathered more firewood and immediately started grilling.

The five of them sat around, waiting for the meat to cook.

Jiang Long laughed and said, "Actually, eating raw meat is better. The Energy from raw meat is superior to grilled meat, it’s just harder to swallow."

"Big brother, have you eaten it before?"

"I have. There’s just a bit of indigestion, but it’s still best to eat it sparingly."

Jiang Chen asked, "Does it cause diarrhea?"

"No, not that. But it makes it very easy to become possessed."

"Possessed?"

Jiang Yan explained, "Eating too much raw meat can affect your Willpower. Some who cannot withstand it become possessed. The raw flesh and blood contain the Abnormal Beast’s spiritual power, and over time, it affects your cultivation."

"Only those with exceptionally strong Willpower can completely resist it. Shen Yidao, from last night, is someone who eats raw meat."

"His Willpower is exceptionally strong."

"In the Wanderer World, it’s not just True Qi we cultivate, but also killing intent."

"When you look into someone’s eyes, you can tell if that person is strong or not."
