The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 441
Chapter 441 Ice Palace (1)
The bear-shaped Ice Beast puppet has a higher defense than the wolf-shaped Ice Beast puppet, Lei Xingfeng’s saber did not break it. Instead, it directly shattered the bear-shaped Ice Beast Puppet’s shoulder. However, it did not make it lose its ability to move. The Ice Beast Puppet pounced and Lei Xingfeng retreated rapidly. Its speed was like lightning and stone. Another saber slashed down. With a loud boom, the bear head of the Ice Beast Puppet directly exploded.
As the Ice Beast Puppet shattered, A large amount of cold energy rose, A layer of white mist slowly dispersed. The bone-piercing coldness forced Lei Xingfeng to strengthen his defenses. The phantom formed from Thousand Leaves Silver was covered in crackling arcs of lightning. The scorching heat quickly drove away the cold air. Layers of white mist rose from Lei Xingfeng’s body. He was like boiling hot water. When he came into contact with the cold air, he even let out a snort.
Gao Ye’s changed tactics, Layers of cold air also floated around him. However, this cold air was even colder and more domineering. As long as he got close to the bear-shaped Ice Beast Puppet, the cold air would actually cause the Ice Beast Puppet to slow down its movements. After that, Gao Ye only lightly slapped the Ice Beast Puppet and shattered it. His speed was extremely fast, even faster than Lei Xingfeng’s, and he seemed to be able to do it more smoothly.
By the time Lei Xingfeng broke out of the encirclement, Gao Ye was already leisurely watching the show.
Lei Xingfeng panted heavily and said, “Uncle Gao, we still have to go back!”
Gao Ye said, “You just need to take Jing Ziya back. As for those Iron Puppet Beasts, well, they have almost been damaged.”
Lei Xingfeng thought about it, Fighting with the Ice Beast Puppets was almost useless. As long as he had his own people, Jingzhi would be able to control it within a dozen miles of the Lei Xingfeng Realm. That was why he had absorbed Crystal Violet Elegance into the Jingzhi Realm. As for the Ice Beast Puppets and the Metal Spider, there weren’t many left. He didn’t hesitate to give up, leaving behind these Ice Beast Puppets to attract the Ice Beast Puppets.
Gao Ye and Lei Xingfeng immediately sprinted forward along the ice valley, shaking off the ice beast puppet. The road ahead was a smooth one.
There’s no way to fly here. Gao Ye said, “Don’t look at the two sides. There’s definitely a restriction there. We can’t get past it. We can only walk forward. The terrible part of the forbidden area is here. It’s very difficult to retreat. Fortunately, you have the Jingzhi Realm. After entering a desperate situation, you can leave calmly.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Otherwise, I would have dared to barge in like this.”
This ice canyon was very long. Fortunately, no ice beast puppets appeared. The two of them ran wildly for about twenty minutes before arriving at the other end of the canyon. They took a turn and arrived at the bottom of the canyon.
Lei Xingfeng stopped and stared blankly in front of him. Gao Ye also had a shocked expression on his face.
The palace of ice.
It was a palace made entirely of ice. The huge palace was a hundred meters tall. Layers upon layers of it rose up. A layer of faint mist caused the entire palace to suddenly appear and disappear. The whistling sound of the wind roamed through the palace, producing waves of sobs that gave off an extremely desolate feeling.
After a while, Lei Xingfeng said, “There is not a trace of human aura … It is like a tombstone of ice.”
Gao Ye’s face revealed an expression of extreme shock and ecstasy. He muttered to himself, “I thought it was the periphery, but it actually reached the core of the forbidden area?”
The two of them were about 700 meters away from the Ice Palace. In front of the Ice Palace was a blue ice surface. There were traces of mist rising from it. Occasionally, strong winds would whistle past, and in an instant, the rising ice mist would be swept away.
Lei Xingfeng pointed at the flat and wide surface of the ice and said, “Could this be a trap?”
Gao Ye shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but you have a way to probe.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded. He raised his hand to release the two Iron Puppets and said, “Let’s step back and see what happens.”
Gao Ye and Lei Xingfeng quickly retreated to the canyon bend. Only then did Lei Xingfeng command the Iron Puppet Beast forward.
The two Iron Puppets stepped forward, their heavy metal feet stepping on the ice, making a dull sound. Lei Xingfeng and Gao Ye hid at the corner, watching the Iron Puppets go deeper and deeper.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Uncle Gao, what do you think will come out?”
Gao Ye shook his head and said, “I really can’t guess. The danger of the forbidden area is unimaginable.”
When the two Iron Puppet Beasts walked about a third of the distance, the whistling of the wind suddenly grew louder. The sharp howling caused Lei Xingfeng to have to use Thousand Leaves Silver to defend his ears. The extremely heavy Iron Puppet Beast trembled in the gale. It could be seen that the pace of the Puppet Beast’s advancement had slowed down significantly.
“What a strong wind! If it was me … I wouldn’t be able to stand!” Lei Xingfeng thought to himself.
Gao Ye said, “It can be resisted forcefully, but it will be very difficult. Look at the puppet beasts … look at their bodies.”
A layer of ice crystals condensed on the Iron Puppet Beast’s body. The condensed ice was quickly blown away. Then, it froze again and was blown away again. The originally dark body of the Iron Puppet Beast was actually polished off a layer of metal. As it struggled forward, it actually became sparkling.
Lei Xingfeng was dumbfounded. He had never known that the wind could be as sharp as a knife and cut off a layer of metal.
Gao Ye smiled bitterly and said, “What a perverted wind! I don’t even know if I can block it …”
“We should be able to block it,” said Lei Xingfeng. “If it’s just the wind, we can get through it, but I think … it’s not just the wind.”
Ding! Ding …
Ding ding sounds filled the air.
“You’re right,” Gao Ye said. “Indeed, it’s not just the wind. There are also ice crystals in the wind.”
Finger-sized ice crystals, As the wind blew, I don’t know how it works, The ice crystals were actually concentrated in the wind towards the Iron Puppet Beast. It was only a dozen meters away. The two Iron Puppet Beasts seemed to be inlaid with countless diamonds. Under the reflection of the ice, they shone brightly. Lei Xingfeng and Gao Ye couldn’t help but gasp. They were actually able to shoot directly into the steel. This power was too terrifying.
Lei Xingfeng thought of the extremely dense lightning bolts in the Magnetic Storm Mountain Range. They were simply terrifying to the extreme.
Gao Ye said, “It’s fine. This kind of thing is easier to resist. It’s probably the extreme cold brought by the wind that’s harder to resist. I’m fine, but you won’t be able to resist it.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Well, I can’t resist the extreme cold brought by this gust of wind.”
Gao Ye said, “I think … as long as any one of us goes over, it means that the others can go over as well.”
Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment and immediately understood what Gao Ye meant. “Use the Jingzhi Realm,” he said.
Gao Ye smiled and said, “That’s right, it’s using the Jingzhi Realm. Whether you go over there or I go over there, you can use the Jingzhi Realm to cross over.”
The two Iron Puppets were still struggling forward, The originally sturdy and heavy Iron Puppet Beast had already lost weight. One of its arms was completely unable to move, and its body seemed to be extremely stiff. It walked very mechanically. However, its speed had slowed to the extreme. It took a long time for it to take a step forward. The other was slightly better because it was blocked by its companions.
With great difficulty, the two Iron Puppet Beasts walked to the center and a shocking scene appeared.
A palm-sized ice saber appeared in the wind and quickly formed a stream of wind. It fiercely slashed towards the two Iron Puppets. In the extreme cold air, anything would become hard, but at the same time, it would also become brittle. When the ice sabers gathered and slashed onto the two Iron Puppets with the whistling wind, Lei Xingfeng bitterly smiled and said, “It’s over!”
Gao Ye said, “Well, I can’t stop it.”
Boom! Boom!
With two crisp sounds, the Iron Puppet Beast was instantly shattered.
In less than ten seconds, the pieces of steel that landed on the surface of the ice were swept away by the gale. The entire surface of the ice was instantly clean and smooth, and no traces could be seen.
The strangest gust of wind suddenly stopped, and the entire surface of the ice was calm.
After a while, Lei Xingfeng said, “Holy shit! Fierce!”
Gao Ye said, “Lord’s strength might not pass, but I believe that Heavenly Monarch’s strength can definitely pass. I’ll give it a try. Just wait.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Let’s try again. I’ll try using a silver-ranked doll beast.”
Gao Ye said, “It’s useless. The attacks from behind will become more and more powerful. The puppet beast doesn’t have the ability to adapt.”
Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment, then took out a large steel shield and said, “Use this. If anything goes wrong, immediately return to the Jingzhi Realm. We don’t need to risk our lives.”
Gao Ye took the big shield. This shield was the weapon of the Iron Puppet Beast. It was as thick as two fingers and could completely cover Gao Ye. It could block the ice crystals and ice blades that had just appeared. As for what would happen next, he could only adapt to the situation.
“Be careful,” said Lei Xingfeng. The reason why he did not insist on going was because he was confident that he could not resist the chill. Gao Ye was ice-attribute, and he was naturally immune to the cold. He should not be frozen stiff.
Gao Ye held his shield and walked over step by step.
It was very miraculous that when Gao Ye walked a third of the way, the wind started to fiercely roar. Gao Ye’s entire body was shrouded in white light, and the shield in his hand also condensed into a layer of ice. He walked quite easily, much easier than the Iron Puppet Beast.
Very quickly, Gao Ye began to taste the taste of ice crystals. Along with the violent wind, the ice crystals were like dense bullets, crazily shooting towards him with endless tinkling sounds.
Lei Xingfeng looked nervously. He saw that the huge shield seemed to be covered in a layer of diamond crystals. Gao Ye suddenly shook his arm. A layer of ice and the ice crystals on the surface instantly shattered and fell. Then, another layer of ice appeared. This was not the layer of ice brought by the environment, but the layer of ice Gao Ye had specifically condensed on the surface of the shield to strengthen the shield’s defense.
Gao Ye continued to move forward with ease. From this point of view, Gao Ye’s strength was quite formidable.
The wind clutched the ice saber and gathered into a stream, smashing towards him with a thunderous rumble.
The layer of ice on the shield instantly swept through the air. Gao Ye ignored it and continued to move forward quickly. The coldness was simply unable to shake his footsteps.
As the shield grew brighter and brighter, the ice blade struck the shield, causing the entire shield to become uneven.
