Chapter 157 The True Face of the Snow Clan
The demonized Xu Qingqiang is indeed difficult to manage. He is emotional and childish. Most importantly, he is murderous and gluttonous. If he were in the legion, he would definitely be a black sheep.
But Wei Huan didn't mind. If he minded, he wouldn't have let Xu Qingqiang get on the car and given him such a high position.
What he needed most in his car was a strong attacker. At the same time, Xu Qingqiang also needed a driver who would let him take action at will.
From being hostile to looking down on each other at the beginning, the two have now become comrades who cooperate with each other tacitly.
Wei Huan ordered the Demon Eye Lord to rush to the battlefield. The Demon Eye Lord flew over the heads of a large group of undead waiting to enter the war, and finally came to a huge cave.
In this wide cave, a snow-white crocodile over 20 meters long was fighting and biting others.
Its appearance does look a bit like a crocodile, at least when it is lying on the ground, it is about 70% similar to the crocodiles on Blue Star.
But when it attacks, it feels different, because its neck can be lifted up and it can bite the enemy, and its tail is as flexible as its hands and feet, which can easily sweep across an area and whip the ice wall to shatter and fall.
This form looks a bit like a lizard or a dragon.
In short, very brave.
It is huge in size, very strong, and quite agile. Most importantly, it is also very smart. It knows how to avoid Xu Qingqiang's attacks and doesn't pay much attention to the provocation of the big bear. Instead, it uses its hands, feet, and tail to kill the undead in groups.
Then, out of nowhere, or perhaps with the strength he had accumulated, he suddenly struck the bear. With just one strike, the flying monkey on the bear's neck let out a shrill "Scream!" and was instantly killed.
The big bear's endurance also dropped by 2,000 points.
At this time, the green ball of light above the big bear's head began to glow, and the pure power of death was injected into the big bear's body.
The big bear's lost health began to recover slowly, at a rate of about 40 points per second. Although it was not much, on the battlefield, any endurance recovery was important.
This is not a game. Those who die are really dead and will never be resurrected. There is no chance to replay the game.
So even 1 point of endurance per second can be useful at critical moments.
After attacking the big bear, the giant ice lizard found that it could not kill it, and became very angry, and wanted to continue slapping it with its claws.
But Xu Qingqiang and the undead took advantage of this time to attack it. The terrible attack force of "Furious" chiseled at its hard shell, and a layer of ice skin was instantly scraped off.
At first, I thought the outermost layer of ice was its armor, until I saw cracks deep inside the ice. Then I suddenly realized that this was a life made entirely of ice.
At some point, Xu Qingqiang had already reached the top of the ice and snow lizard's head and started scratching and attacking it frantically. The platinum-level gloves caused great damage to the ice and snow lizard, and in a blink of an eye, a huge hole was dug in its head, reaching its brain.
But the Snow Clan's form is different, and this kind of attack is useless to them. Even if Xu Qingqiang's attack goes straight to the brain, no matter how deep it goes, it's just ice.
Xu Qingqiang was in a violent state. He dug for a long time with a laugh, then suddenly picked up an ice cube and put it in his mouth to chew.
“Crack, crack!”
"Pooh!"
It's definitely ice, without any nutrition at all, just pure ice.
Moreover, this kind of attack was indeed useless to the ice and snow lizard. It allowed Xu Qingqiang and the undead army to punch holes in its body and continued to kill the undead.
Time passed minute by minute, and the battle lasted for five minutes. Finally, Xu Qingqiang joined forces with the undead army and successfully dismembered the ice and snow lizard.
With a loud bang, half of the ice lizard's body fell to the ground and turned into ice. A transparent, slightly bluish shadow jumped out of the ice lizard's body.
Wei Huan said, "It's out! That's it! Be careful!!"
Wei Huan's voice, through the microphone, reached the ears of Lin Xu and Zhou Yong.
Having been warned beforehand, they turned around without hesitation and jumped into the center of the undead, who also used their bodies to protect them.
The transparent light blue life seemed to make some movement, and a powerful cold breath emanated from it.
"Swish--" an ice ring spread outward like a sickle. Wherever it passed, all the undead were attacked by wind and snow with a temperature of nearly 1000 degrees Celsius below zero, and were instantly frozen in place.
Just like the Hellfire bombs, they turned into white ashes the next second after being frozen, falling like gravel, forming a thick layer on the ground, exactly the same as the thick layer of white frost under their feet.
So, these white frosts are basically flesh and blood, right?
Wei Huan knew the situation of the Snow Clan. Moreover, the human race had stayed in the fourth-level world for three years and had enough understanding of the Snow Clan. Just when he was about to remind everyone that there was a backup plan, he saw Zhou Yong and Lin Xu running out of the bunker like crazy and rushing towards a place.
They opened their mouths and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Brother Qiang."
Wei Huan looked in the direction they were going and his pupils suddenly shrank.
That bastard Xu Qingqiang was so excited about killing that he completely forgot his instructions and didn't even try to avoid the cold air released by the Snow Clan.
Now Xu Qingqiang's frozen body was lying straight in the pile of ice, motionless and lifeless.
Wei Huan was nervous for a moment, but he quickly reacted and relaxed.
There are four flying monkeys hanging behind Xu Qingqiang's neck, and the green light above his head is also dazzling. The most important thing is that Xu Qingqiang is not in his tomb. It is obvious that it is not time for him to report to the King of Hell yet.
Sure enough, Zhou Yong and Lin Xu's desperate rush towards him stimulated Xu Qingqiang to speed up and break free from the control of the ice. His eyeballs rolled, and a layer of ice on his body surface cracked and fell down with a rustling sound.
At the same time, Zhou Yong and Lin Xu were stopped by the undead army.
Wei Huan ordered them to protect the safety of the two.
The two of them calmed down a little after their way was blocked.
Then the two of them, as well as Wei Huan, all looked at the transparent light blue figure in the middle.
The terrifying cold wave killed a large number of undead troops. At that moment, at least two hundred undead returned to the tomb. Only the zombie violent bear was slightly stronger, and most of them withstood this wave of attacks.
Even during the Roman Empire, a large number of people died.
It can be seen how terrifying the ice ring was at that moment.
Now the ice ring has been released, but the battle is not over. With the new movement of the transparent light blue figure, all the frost and snow powder and ice cubes that have fallen to the ground, as if time is flowing backwards, gather towards the position of the transparent figure.
After a gust of wind, a ten-meter-tall six-armed snow ape appeared in front of everyone.
As soon as the huge and burly figure appeared, he suddenly jumped up and landed high, and the landing point actually went straight to the place where Lin Xu and Zhou Yong were protected.
The big bear received the order and roared "Roar, roar, roar" and chased after it.
But the other figure was faster.
It’s Xu Qingqiang!
He finally broke free from the icy bonds and shot out like lightning.
He rushed towards the two of them, but turned back nimbly. With a delayed sonic boom, Xu Qingqiang was already facing the falling snow ape's fist head-on.
The huge fist and the tiny person, a scene with a strong contrast, they should not be on the same level.
There was a loud "boom".
The final impact was with the huge, hard ice body, which could not withstand it and broke from the palm. The cracks spread rapidly, and the entire arm shattered and fell.
As Xu Qingqiang raised his hand to smash the giant arm, he also endured the opponent's attack. In an instant, a flying monkey behind his neck let out a shrill cry: "Scream!!"
Then he disappeared and returned to the tomb.
The green light continued to fall, enveloping Xu Qingqiang and steadily and continuously restoring his endurance.
The snow ape, with one arm broken, lost its balance and stumbled forward. Before it could regain its balance, it was surrounded by the undead and torn apart.
This time it was faster, and the kill was completed in just one minute, with ice and snow scattered all over the ground.
The transparent blue figure appeared again.
"Ah——" A shrill sound echoed in the cave, and another ice ring cut outward.
But this time, just by looking at the undead still standing there, and Xu Qingqiang who was only stiff for a moment and then rushed forward again, you can tell that the damage of its ice ring is not as great as before.
Xu Qingqiang rushed forward, not afraid of the coldness released from it at all, and scratched the transparent blue figure with one claw.
But it missed.
The light and shadow completely ignored his damage and inhaled again, and then the frost gathered, this time becoming a monster only three meters tall, like a bear and a tiger, with a slender and flexible tail.
As soon as his body condensed, his tail bit towards Xu Qingqiang like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole.
Without even turning his head, Xu Qingqiang grabbed the tail and stepped on the body of the frost creature with both feet, easily kicking it to pieces.
An ice ring erupted again this time, but its lethality was weak, so even Zhou Yong and Lin Xu could deal with it calmly.
After three times, the blue transparent figure seemed to have reached its limit. After the ice ring exploded, it did not condense its body for a long time.
Only then could I see clearly that deep within this ball of light with a faint blue glow, there seemed to be butterfly wings flapping, bringing a strong chill.
If this happened in a treasure trove underground palace, the Snow Clan would probably have to find a way to escape after their ice bodies were broken three times in a row.
Their strength is exhausted, and continuing will lead to death.
Unfortunately, this Platinum Snow Clan is a "treasure chest monster". The day it was sealed in the treasure chest by the Challenge World, it no longer had any thoughts, only absolute hostility towards the person who opened the treasure chest, and an unyielding persistence.
The fourth time, the Snow Clan tried to condense their bodies, but this time, before their bodies were completely condensed, Xu Qingqiang grabbed them and squeezed them hard.
"ah--"
The same scream was heard again, and as the ice body shattered, a weak ice ring exploded.
Xu Qingqiang spread out his hands, and there was nothing in his palms except the snow water melted by his palms.
Dead.
That's right, dead.
Wei Huan confirmed that the Snow Clan was completely dead through the dropping of items.
A platinum monster from the fourth-level world was killed by them just like that.
Wei Huan had not yet used up all his strength, and Xu Qingqiang seemed to be still unsatisfied.
It must be admitted that Dou Lin's presence in the car brought them stronger combat power. Even if it was only a 1x attribute increase, their combat power had already surpassed this world.
Even third-level fighters like Zhou Yong and Lin Xu can fight back and forth on such a battlefield.
This is not entirely due to the cooperation of Wei Huan's undead, but also due to the fact that their strength is indeed increasing.
"He died already?"
Xu Qingqiang shook off the ice and snow in his hands, and at the same time, the devil vines on his face retreated into his collar like a tide and disappeared.
He stood in the middle of the battlefield, lit a cigarette for himself, looked around at the monsters in the frozen wall, and finally looked at the Demon Eye Lord who had descended with Wei Huan.
"The Snow Clan is an elemental life form." Mu Zhong said this when explaining the common knowledge of the Level 4 world, "Perhaps the natural environment of the Level 4 world is more suitable for ice and snow elements, so this world was occupied by the Snow Clan.
They are quite intelligent, especially the Snow Clan in the treasure palace, who can confuse people and possess various combat capabilities.
The powerful Snow Clan would collect the corpses of their enemies, study their body structures, and then use ice and snow to replicate more than 80% of the strength of that type of life. Moreover, their military units were complex, including magic, strength, and spiritual units.
The Snow Clan also has a very powerful passive skill, which is that every time the ice shell is broken, a large amount of cold air will be released. Level 4 challengers who leave the protection of the vehicle may be killed instantly by such cold air.
This caused great harm to our pioneer warriors, and many people died in the sudden outbreak of the Snow Clan.
However, their bursts of cold air will gradually weaken, and in the end, there will be no cold air left, and the Snow Clan will die completely.
Avoiding their first burst is crucial."
Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang looked at each other, their eyes fixed on the two flying monkeys behind his neck.
There were five flying monkeys in total, three of them died, and the green light ball also returned to the tomb because its energy was exhausted.
Xu Qingqiang's attack was brave, but also dangerous. Wei Huan didn't blame him for not dodging the ice ring before it arrived; he knew full well that Xu Qingqiang was completely unconscious when he went mad. His greater concern now was that since Xu Qingqiang couldn't dodge this kind of group damage, he would have to tie more monkeys to him and protect his life at all costs.
Over there, Xu Qingqiang smoked half a cigarette and finally couldn't stand it anymore. His head and face twitched nervously, and the retreating magic pattern spread up at a faster speed, twisting his whole face into a hideous shape.
Then he jumped onto the back of a thuloma and began to devour it, eating like a hungry beast.
It seems that Xu Qingqiang, who took on the ice ring for the first time, was not as calm as he appeared.
This wave, internal injuries.
The Xiuroma eaten by Xu Qingqiang could not return to the tomb, but Wei Huan didn't care and sent two more Xiuroma over.
But the elites in the undead army were all hiding from Xu Qingqiang at this moment. Even the disobedient Mo Ji ran away, looking for another battlefield.
There are still many areas in this ice and snow fortress that have not been explored, and there should be many treasure chests that can be opened. Of course, you have to explore them all when you come here.
However, Wei Huan does not plan to continue the exploration unless there are special circumstances.
He withdrew his gaze from the Demon Eye Lord, restored his eyes to black, and looked at Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong is still negotiating with Jacques.
After the already fragile trust was shattered, no matter what either side said, the other side could no longer believe it.
Jacques said, "You've already killed him, and you still want to escalate the situation. I cannot agree with that. My position and experience tell me to stop here. Don't continue to escalate the friction. It will do you no good."
Mu Zhong said, "We will judge for ourselves whether this will be beneficial. He was brought here by you, and his attack on us can be considered your arrangement, leading to the premature failure of our cooperation. You shouldn't be trying to persuade us to keep quiet. Instead, you should actively resolve this matter and eliminate all the negative factors that affect our cooperation."
"Impossible." Jacques shook his head. "This was Shi Heng Chuan Jing's personal action. No other members of the Shi Heng family participated in the encirclement and suppression, and the Sangshu Kingdom was completely unaware of this matter."
Mu Zhong sneered: "The car-borne bomb he used is worth 100,000 points, and it's two cars. Shi Heng's family is already ruined. Where did all this money come from?"
Jacques continued to shake his head: "I don't know..."
Wei Huan watched the two people arguing calmly. It was normal for things to develop to this point. In fact, both parties knew that Shi Hengchuan Jingdu was dead and the Shi Heng family was completely ruined. They kept holding on to the matter of Shi Hengchuan Jingdu just to increase the conditions of the transaction and obtain greater benefits.
Mu Zhong is very good at this kind of thing.
Diplomacy is not all about fists. Sometimes you also need to know how to relax and tighten your grip. Just leave it to Mu Zhong.
While listening to their negotiation, Xu Qingqiang, who had a full meal, took Lin Xu and Zhou Yong back to the car. At the same time, all the treasure chests in the ice and snow castle were opened.
Wei Huan took back the undead in his castle. As the last undead disappeared, this towering ice and snow fortress was gradually swallowed up by the blizzard in the middle of the night.
In the blink of an eye, the scene before my eyes was empty and the towering buildings disappeared.
Wei Huan said, "Return."
It was getting late, so they should go back. Remember, there were two more Dark Beast Lord territories on the way, so they should clean them up along the way...
"Wait, let's talk."
Mu Zhong, who was in the middle of the negotiation, heard Jacques suddenly raise his voice and said nervously, "We are in negotiation, and it is far from the point of escalating to the use of force. If what I said just now was inappropriate, I can apologize.
The only thing I can do for your request is to describe Shi Hengchuanjing's behavior more accurately when retelling this incident. I think if we cooperate happily in the future, Sangshu Country will definitely make some compensation for this offense.
Okay, this is my bottom line. Please keep a calm and restrained distance between us.
Okay, okay, Shi Hengchuan Jing did go too far. I will also inform the other countries in the alliance about this matter. We can..."
Jacques's chatter suddenly came to a halt.
This was because on his radar, although Wei Huan's car was coming towards them, it suddenly accelerated in the next second and had now overtaken them and ran ahead of them.
Is this... so mad that they're not even going to develop the Platinum Ruins anymore? Or is this a result of these series of accidents?
But as Mu Zhong reacted, showing a half-smile, Jacques fell silent after realizing something.
He then said, "I wish you a safe return. I do bear unshirkable responsibility for Shi Hengchuan's actions in Beijing. As the leader of the convoy, I sincerely apologize to you, Major Wei, and every member of the team. I also promise that I will report this incident truthfully to the commander of the Alliance Legion. That's all. I hope we can still keep in touch."
After saying this, Jacques took the initiative to hang up the phone.
He glared at him coldly, and had not been looking at his deputy driver in a good mood since just now.
The deputy commander said, "You are our Osam genius, our general, yet you are so humble in front of Wei Huan. You have brought shame upon our Osam. I will report the truth when I return! Not only have you damaged our Osam's image, but you have also arbitrarily changed the battle plan. You are finished!"
Jacques was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to the crew, "Please ask our deputy commander to go back to his room and rest."
The crew members had complicated positions: some hesitated, some were determined to carry out the order, and some tried to stop them. Jacques felt sad as he watched the farce in his car.
However, the deputy captain was "invited" back to the room, and the crew members who had previously stood firmly by the deputy captain also returned to the room with him.
Now that he was finally left with only his own people around him, Jacques finally had time to look at the confused people of Shi Heng's family.
He said, "Shi Heng's family, bring two cars. Come back with me to see what else we can recover."
In fact, everyone knows that this statement is false. Challenge the World will take back any corpse, whether it is a monster or a human.
During this period of time, Shi Hengchuanjing, his men, and his car were probably dragged into the darkness.
The most important reason why Jacques said this was that he wanted to see it with his own eyes and confirm his guess.
The night is very dark.
The wind and snow are very strong.
The whirring sound was like the wailing of the dead, faintly coming from outside the car, making people's backs cold.
Jacques stood at the coordinates of the ice and snow fortress, looking at the empty space before him. This time, he felt coldness and fear from his fingertips.
He has won the world's first place and received platinum treasure chest rewards. He has earned a level five tank and a level five career level with his own ability. He is a [War Expert] on the battlefield.
Although those old guys in Osham didn't like him for always disobeying them, they would always assign him to do any difficult tasks and were quite indulgent towards him.
For example, this time, he dared to change the plan privately and chose to negotiate with Wei Huan instead of taking action. This was because he had full confidence that those old guys still needed his fighting power and did not dare to really punish him.
He is really a very confident person.
In the negotiation just now, although he showed enough courtesy and patience, he was always convinced in his heart that he had the ability to kill Wei Huan.
[Angel Spear Scroll] can blow up Wei Huan's car, and his [War Expert] skill can blow Wei Huan's head off from 50 kilometers away.
No matter how many undead spirits Wei Huan possessed, it still couldn't change the fact that he was just a fragile summoner.
And my ability is aimed at the common people in the back row.
But at this moment, when he really saw the platinum-level ice and snow fortress disappear, Wei Huan took less than 20 minutes to kill the monsters in the castle and take away the platinum equipment, and he was left with a head full of disbelief.
Impossible? How did he do it? Even if he could livestream for 20 minutes in a Level 3 world and develop the Platinum Treasure Underground Palace, this is a Level 4 world! The monsters are much more powerful.
No, wait, is it true that what he developed in the third-level world was just a platinum-level treasure palace?
Why is it that the same platinum-level ruins are still in the fourth-level world, but there is no live broadcast?
Did Wei Huan give up the live broadcast? Or was the underground palace far more than platinum?
Could it be...
