Chapter 770: The Glowing Ice Lake



Chapter 770: The Glowing Ice Lake

As they walked, a glowing ice lake appeared in front of them. Before they could get close, the ice lake suddenly cracked and a huge ice python sprang out from it.

This ice python exudes an aura that is colder than that of an ice dragon. Its body is like a moving iceberg. Wherever it passes, a thick layer of ice quickly forms on the ground.

The ice python opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards everyone, its speed was so fast that no one had time to react.

Lin Ze shouted anxiously, commanding everyone to quickly dodge the ice python's attack and organize an effective counterattack. The team members did not hesitate to use their own special skills, but disappointingly, despite their best efforts, the ice python's extremely hard body seemed to have no reaction to these attacks, and only shook slightly.

Seeing the ice python approaching step by step, everyone's mood became heavier, and a feeling of despair began to spread in the team. However, at this critical moment, an old man in the team suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He remembered the record about ice pythons that he had read in an ancient book - this monster is extremely afraid of blazing flames.

The old man's reminder was like a flash of lightning that cut through the darkness, rekindling hope for everyone. They immediately adjusted their tactics, and all the magicians concentrated their minds, gathering their magic power together, preparing to cast the strongest fire spell.

As the magicians chanted the ancient and mysterious spell, the blazing flames rushed towards the ice python like a roaring dragon. In an instant, the ice python was tightly wrapped by the flames. Its originally cold body began to smoke under the high temperature. It twisted its body in pain and let out bursts of shrill roars.

The flames continued to devour the body of the ice python, and its scales began to peel off, revealing the charred flesh inside. Although the ice python struggled desperately, its resistance became weaker and weaker under the concerted fire attack of everyone.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the ice python could no longer withstand the scorching flames. Its body gradually lost strength and slowly sank into the icy lake, causing a huge splash.

Everyone watched the ice python disappear into the bottom of the lake, and a big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. They looked at each other, and saw in each other's eyes the relief of surviving the disaster and the anticipation for the next journey. After a short rest, they continued to move towards the depths of the extremely cold land without hesitation to meet the next unknown challenge.

However, before they had gone far, the ice lake began to shake violently again.

The ice python actually rushed out from the bottom of the lake again with its wounded body. It turned out that what happened just now was just a delaying tactic.

The ice python was even more angry at this moment. Its eyes flashed with a fierce light of revenge. It rushed towards the crowd again, even faster than before.

The hearts that everyone had just put down were suddenly lifted up by an invisible hand and instantly raised to their throats. Seeing this, Lin Ze shouted without hesitation: "Continue to attack with fire!"

However, this time the ice python seemed to be well prepared. Its body was as fast as lightning, and while moving at high speed, it continuously released powerful icy power. This icy power collided with the flames, making a hissing sound, as if two extreme forces were fiercely fighting.

The flames' offensive was quickly weakened by the impact of the icy force. The team members' attack effectiveness was greatly reduced, and the originally blazing flames became dim at this moment.

The ice python took advantage of the situation and approached. Its ferocious fangs and cold scales made people shudder. Seeing the ice python getting closer and closer to everyone, a life-and-death crisis was about to come.

At this critical moment, a mysterious chant suddenly came from the back of the team. The voice was like a call from ancient times, low and majestic.

Along with the chanting, a hotter and more powerful flame shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption. This flame was like a roaring fire dragon, with overwhelming force, instantly enveloping the ice python again.

Everyone looked at this sudden change in astonishment, and saw a mysterious man appear in their sight. He was dressed in a black robe, holding a staff with a blazing flame on the top. His eyes were firm and deep, revealing an extraordinary temperament.

The mysterious man looked at the ice python surrounded by flames and said slowly: "I know the ice python's weakness, so I came here to help you."

With the help of the mysterious man, everyone's spirits were boosted. They quickly adjusted their tactics and reorganized their offensive. The flame and icy power collided fiercely again, and this time, the ice python's resistance was significantly weakened.

After a hard fight, everyone finally succeeded in defeating the ice python. The huge body of the ice python fell to the ground with a bang, splashing ice, snow and dust.

Everyone was exhausted, but their hearts were filled with gratitude towards the mysterious man. They stepped forward one after another to thank the mysterious man.

The mysterious man smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome. I was just passing by here, and when I saw you were in trouble, I offered my help."

After a short rest, everyone continued to set foot into the depths of the extreme cold to explore the unknown world with gratitude to the mysterious man.

The group continued to go deeper into the extremely cold land, being cautious along the way. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind was howling, and the temperature dropped sharply. A huge ice sculpture broke out from the ground, and a figure was faintly shaking in the ice sculpture. The mysterious man's face changed and said, "This is the Ice Soul Puppet, the guardian of the extremely cold land, and it is more difficult to deal with than the Ice Python."

The Ice Soul Puppet waved its hands, and countless ice cones shot towards everyone like raindrops. Everyone hurriedly dodged, and Lin Ze organized everyone to disperse and look for the Ice Soul Puppet's weakness. The mysterious man cast a spell and summoned a wall of fire to resist the ice cones. However, the Ice Soul Puppet kept changing its attack methods, and everyone gradually became unable to resist.

Just when everyone was in trouble, the mysterious man discovered that the core of the Ice Soul Puppet was in its chest. He shouted, "Focus on attacking its chest!" Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their tactics and concentrated their firepower on attacking the Ice Soul Puppet's chest.

After a fierce battle, a crack appeared on the chest of the Ice Soul Puppet.

Everyone pursued the enemy and finally destroyed the Ice Soul Puppet completely.

The ice sculpture shattered and the figure inside disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move deeper into the extreme cold land.

However, before they had gone far, the ground suddenly cracked, and huge ice spikes shot up into the sky from the cracks, completely blocking everyone's way.

At the same time, a group of small ice beasts emerged from all directions. They were small in size but extremely fast, and they pounced towards everyone like a group of hungry wolves.

Everyone was still immersed in the joy of destroying the Ice Soul Puppet, however, this short-lived joy was soon replaced by a new crisis. Lin Ze was keenly aware of this, and he acted decisively and quickly directed the team members to deal with the situation at hand.
