“Dimo, give it your all!”
“Throw down this last batch of ice blocks, and we’ll be done.”
On the flat ground above the canyon,
Chu Chen and Dimo were working together, busy as bees.
Dimo was responsible for using light to cut the icebergs into smaller pieces,
and Chu Chen was responsible for pulling these ice blocks and throwing them into the canyon.
For this man and his spirit, this was a major project.
In short, it exhausted them both.
Chu Chen could only pull two or three ice blocks at a time before he had to stop to rest and recover his magic.
And Dimo’s light also needed to condense a large amount of light power to maintain,
so it couldn’t cut too many ice blocks at once.
After all, these small icebergs were often thirty or forty meters high, massive in size.
To cut them into chunks six or seven meters long was not something that could be done easily.
“This is the last one, throw it down and we’re done.”
Chu Chen, his face flushed from exertion, used his pulling technique to throw the last ice block down into the canyon.
And so, they finally finished.
“It took us four hours to block this canyon.”
“But it’s good that we’re done.”
Looking at the path to the Rift Realm, which he had tightly blocked with ice, Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction.
With these two barriers, while it couldn’t completely block all the Rift Realm creatures inside,
at least most of them wouldn’t be able to get out for a while.
And during that time, Chu Chen could wipe them out, smashing them all to pieces.
“Next, we just have to wait for the Rift Realm to release its monsters.”
“I wonder how long we’ll have to wait.”
“While we have time, Dimo, let’s go cut some smaller ice blocks.”
“We can use them to smash monsters later!”
Glancing at the Rift Realm below, which was still quiet,
Chu Chen and Dimo turned around and began to look for ice blocks.
Half an hour later,
they had stacked the thick ice blocks they had cut near the edge of the canyon.
“Let’s rest for a bit, Dimo.”
“I’ll call you when the Rift Realm shows any signs of activity.”
Seeing Dimo’s weary look, Chu Chen called it over to him and said softly.
“Dimo. (Alright, I’ll rest for a bit.)”
Dimo didn’t refuse; it was indeed tired.
After taking one last look at the Rift Realm below, it leaned against Chu Chen.
Soon, a soft snore could be heard.
“Dimo has been busy with me for half a day; it seems it’s really tired.”
“Well, let it have a good sleep.”
Seeing that Dimo was asleep,
Chu Chen gently picked it up and placed it on his lap.
So it could sleep comfortably.
Then, leaving some consciousness behind, he also fell into meditation and began to rest.
As a one-star pet mage, he could now go without sleep.
For him at this stage, meditation was far more effective at restoring his energy than sleeping.
Besides, Chu Chen could now survive without eating or drinking.
Because magic had greatly enhanced his bodily functions.
Allowing him to obtain the nutrients needed to sustain his body from magic.
.....
Time passed slowly,
but the Rift Realm below remained completely still,
which caused Chu Chen a great deal of worry.
“Why isn’t the Rift Realm sending out any troops!”
“How long am I supposed to wait?”
Chu Chen opened his eyes from his meditation,
looking at the Rift Realm below, which was as calm as a virgin,
his heart grew a little impatient.
He wasn’t worried that the Rift Realm would never release any Rift Realm creatures,
but he wasn’t sure when they would come out.
What if they didn’t come out for days, and he had to sit here for days?
Just thinking about it made him bored to death.
He was eager to get rich and strong,
and then go in search of the Star Core,
so he couldn’t stand to waste time sitting here.
“Please, Rift Realm, hurry up and come out!”
“Please hurry up and spit out some Rift Realm creatures.”
“I’m begging you.”
Chu Chen stared at the Rift Realm, mumbling a prayer.
Finally, perhaps Chu Chen’s prayer had worked.
Or perhaps the Rift Realm felt that Chu Chen had been waiting here, ready, for so long, that it would be rude not to send out troops.
Whatever the reason, after another hour passed,
the Rift Realm below finally reacted.
One by one, Rift Realm creatures began to pour out,
filling Chu Chen with excitement.
“Here they come!”
“My Rock Drills have arrived!”
“Dimo, wake up!”
“We’re about to get rich!”
The colorful Rift Realm creatures emerging from the Rift Realm below made Chu Chen’s heart skip a beat.
He quickly woke up Dimo, who was on his lap,
and then carefully watched from the edge of the cliff.
“Good heavens, they’re coming out at a rate of several per second.”
“And there are quite a few types.”
“Oh, they’ve got fiery stompers too?”
“Maybe we should call them Fire Stompers?”
Besides the Rift Realm creatures Chu Chen recognized, there were also dozens of red-orange stompers emerging from the Rift Realm below, covered in flames.
So, following the logic that stompers who could use wind were called Wind Stompers,
Chu Chen named this type of stomper, which was modified by the Rift Realm to use fire, Fire Stomper!
Yes, it was logical, reasonable, and convincing.
The Rift Realm was spewing out troops quickly,
in just seven or eight minutes,
there was a teeming mass below.
Chu Chen took a quick count and found there were at least three hundred of them.
Upon emerging from the Rift Realm, these creatures naturally discovered that the paths in front and behind them were blocked.
However, they didn’t seem to care, and instead waited in place.
It seemed they had no intention of leaving for now.
And the Rift Realm continued to spew out more Rift Realm creatures.
“Dimo, it’s time!”
“This is the perfect number; any more and we won’t be able to handle it.”
After waiting a little longer,
Chu Chen realized that the time was right.
So he called out to Dimo, ready to strike!
“Dimo, you take care of the flying monsters.”
“The rest are mine; watch me smash them to pieces.”
Chu Chen instructed Dimo to intercept the flying firebirds, icebirds, and thunderbirds,
while he went all out, using his pulling technique to throw the ice blocks he had stacked around him down into the abyss.
Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Suddenly, countless large ice blocks, like small meteors, began to rain down on the Rift Realm creatures.
Roar! Roar!!
Screech!
The Rift Realm creatures screamed in pain, caught off guard by the sudden attack,
and instantly suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the Rift Realm creatures that had not been crushed also discovered the location of their attacker, Chu Chen.
Many of the flying Rift Realm monsters began to charge toward Chu Chen.
“Dimo!! (Don’t come over here!)”
“Dimo Dimo! (Look at my light shield!)”
Seeing dozens of Rift Realm monsters charging towards Chu Chen with malicious intent,
Dimo quickly condensed its light power into a giant light shield, which it placed in front of Chu Chen.
Many of the Rift Realm monsters were unable to dodge and crashed headfirst into the shield.
Then they began to fall to the ground in droves.
“Dimo Dimo? (Are there any still alive?)”
“Dimo! (Hmph, watch my particle strike!)”
Seeing that there were still a few stragglers, Dimo condensed a mass of light particles, which transformed into countless bullets, and fired.
Then, the remaining Rift Realm monsters also died.
“Dimo, good job!” Seeing Dimo effortlessly intercept all these Rift Realm monsters,
Chu Chen couldn’t help but shout his praise.
Without these flying monsters, he had nothing to worry about.
Although the Wind Stompers and Fire Stompers below were still shooting arrows,
Chu Chen was confident that, in this terrain, they could shoot all they wanted.
If they could hit him with a single feather, he’d personally hand over his head to them to kick!
Without any troublesome flying monsters, Chu Chen continued to pull the remaining ice blocks, one by one, targeting the Rift Realm creatures below that had not been crushed.
And so, the battle continued for over an hour,
until, after killing so many that the Rift Realm temporarily stopped sending out troops,
it gradually came to an end.
