Age of Adepts

The ice creatures were still surging in with reckless abandon.

However, their bravery and fearlessness shattered like beautiful soap bubbles in the face of absolute power disparity.

A wave of indigenous creatures rushed up, and then the smoke dissipated....

Another wave of indigenous creatures rushed up, then fell to pieces....

The one at the front of the 5 man squad was no longer Grim, but the alien Scorpion Sand King with the hard armor.

The Sand King didn't push his power much, just stepped in a rumbling pace like a heavy tank and crushed through the group of monsters. The Sand King's size was not as large as some of the monsters, but its terrifying ability to control sand caused a layer of earthy yellow sandstorm to linger around it.

Any creature caught in the sandstorm would be crushed into an indistinguishable blood paste by the terrifying wind and sand feet. As the Sand King rushes past, it leaves behind only rows of strange knobby footprints and large puddles of blood and flesh.

As for the cold freezing gases, ice cones and snowballs spewed by the indigenous creatures fighting back to the death, they all crashed into the Sand King's indestructible thick insect armor. Other than adding a little blue mark and a few strands of frost to its massive body, it did nothing more than that.

Initially, the ones who ran out from all over the Ice Tundra Snowfield to besiege the sneak attack squad were still just some apprentice level minor characters. Once the squad kept advancing and had advanced a hundred miles through the icy tundra, the tier of indigenous creatures that were besieging them had increased significantly.

Apprentice-level snow worms, 1st-tier beginner-level ice crystal monsters, 1st-tier intermediate-level blue demons, 1st-tier advanced berserk snow apes, 2nd-tier beginner-level ice demons, 2nd-tier advanced cold souls....

This ice tundra snowfield was also apparently the place where the monster resources were more abundant in this cold ice world. On this journey, the area around the squad was almost non-stop, and it was either besieged by groups of monsters, or encountered the odd wild monster sneak attack.

To be honest, the qualifications of these indigenous creatures were quite good!

Only, when they were facing top-tier powerhouses from other planes, some ice and snow abilities and that insignificant flesh* body battle power were scraps in the eyes of Grim and the others.

Whether they were hiding inside thick snow piles, or burying themselves in the paths the squad had to take, or starting a blizzard and then taking advantage of the opportunity to cover up... without the absolute strength to match, it would be futile to pull off any number of tricks!

They came and they stayed....

The transformation into a floor full of ice scum returned to the bit origin.

And while thousands of ice creatures paid the price with their lives, they couldn't even cut through the skin of any of the squad members.

The power gap between the two sides was too great... so great that it could no longer be compensated by numbers or tactics!

The squad was still moving forward in a slow and methodical manner.

Of course, if necessary, with the ability of the squad members, they could also cross this nearly thousand miles of space to appear at the entrance of that chilling dragon's lair in a very short period of time.

But being new to the area, they were still carrying a severe bit of bit suppression.

Therefore, the team members deliberately slowed down their speed, slaughtering the local natives slowly while silently waiting for the bit surface suppression on their bodies to weaken.

The spell casters relied on law parsing to find a way to weaken the suppression of the bit surface laws on their own strength. A meat shield like the Sand King, on the other hand, relied on the strong adaptability of their flesh*body.

Their ability to parse the laws of the bit surface was weak, but their ability to adjust their flesh* bodies to adapt to the bit surface environment was strong.

Thus, the squad members were in no hurry, so they maintained a steady rhythm and approached their goal step by step.

Deep down, the Witch Kangonas and the others were not looking forward to the Ice Dragon that couldn't hold back its nature and rushed out from inside the lair to fight them to the death.

That way, it could at least diminish a hint of the opponent's geographical advantage!

Otherwise, forcing one's way into the terrifying dragon's nest that the Ice Dragon had been operating for thousands of years, such an act was undoubtedly fraught with great risk. However, this possibility was minimal, no great lord would run out and fight a few of his peers for the sake of a few children.

Three days later.

After crossing the ice and tundra snowfields and crossing the extreme cold valley lands, after going through 'thousands of hardships', the team finally arrived at their destination.

Here, all the past snowy peaks that were steep, steep, steep and steep would all disappear. The ground was covered with a hard ice cover that was more than ten meters thick.

Beneath the ice cap was a frightening ocean of ice that flowed slowly and from time to time, emitting a trace of cold air. The depth of the ice ocean was unpredictable, and even with the spiritual perception of several powerful people, they could not penetrate to the deepest part.

At this place, the breath of life was almost extinct, and even the cold wind that whistled past was so dead and icy cold.

In the center of the ocean covered with ice, a towering ice-covered wall rose from the ground, the top of the ice directly into the thick, dense, dense clouds, making it difficult to see the truth on it.

"It already knows we're here!" It was the Wraith Kangonas that spoke, its scarlet soulfire wavering within its eye sockets, transmitting a chill far colder than the freezing cold air: "I can sense it, its power is rising..."

The rest of them didn't speak, and were all silently perceiving that terrifying presence on top of the ice peak in their own different ways!

Grim raised his head, and a crimson ray was mapped out within the flaming pupils of his fluttering eyes, distantly cast towards the top of the ice peak. Through the thick cloud layer that was comparable to an ice storm, it vaguely peeked at some of the conditions above.

Above the ice peak and between the clouds, there seemed to be a majestic palace towering silently.

And when Grim tried to look more closely, the thick clouds suddenly stirred restlessly, breaking up his over-the-horizon vision and energy perception, making everything blurry and chaotic again.

"Chip, check yourself to see how I'm doing."

"Drip, self-test completed..."

"Grim, male, 4th level semi-rule sorcerer (flame specialization), Chaos physique (Zoroaster magic resistance), Star Beast bloodline (15%), Rule of the Heart (76% of the Laws of Flame), body base stats: strength 27 physique 31+2 agility 19 spirit 44+5, bloodline talent: energy black hole, Laws of Flame: flame augmentation (cured), flame penetration (cured), flame invisibility (cured), flame shock (cured)..."

"Subject's current status: bitplane suppression in progress..."

"The progress of the Cold World Position Law parsing is 100%, the main body strength is suppressed to 4th rank primary, the base combat power is 82% of normal, the elemental power is 76% of normal, and the law power is unaffected..."

After completing the self-test, Grim looked at an item of data and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Having the aid of the chip himself, he had almost completely parsed the suppressive methods of the laws of the bit plane against himself, but he had only raised his base battle power to 82% of his normal level. Those companions were far more affected by the bit surface than themselves, and their battle power....

However, each person's degree of combat recovery belonged to their own hidden secret, and if it was leaked out, it would be easy for someone to estimate their mental strength and recovery ability in reverse based on it. So even if several people had already formed a battle squad, they would not share such information regarding such a matter.

"This is the entrance to the Ice Dragon's lair..." at this point, the Witch Kangonas' mental strength could not help but be a bit restless, "Further on, it's the Ice Giant colony that the Ice Dragon has enslaved. "

"An ice giant?" Grim was astonished, "Didn't most of the ancient ice giants die out? How can there be ice giants here?"

"Jie Jie Jie... A true Ancient Ice Giant is a powerful existence of rank 6 or 7 at every turn, and how can it be enslaved by a rank 4 cold ice dragon!" The Witch Demon Kanganus sneered, "So, the ones surviving here are just some bastards who have inherited part of the Ice Giant's bloodline! Unfortunately, even so, there's quite a large percentage of 3rd and 4th ranks among these guys, so they're not that easy to deal with!"

"Hehe, just some motley crew! If you guys are too much trouble, then I'll contribute to cover them all. But I'll take an extra share of the final loot!" The Sand King buzzed with bad laughter.

"Hmm, you wish!" The snake woman, Silkena, spat out her sharp tongue and said coldly, "Let's do it together, clean hands and feet, don't let these guys interfere with our operations..."

With a slight nod of their heads, the crowd stopped talking and stepped onto the Cold Continent Ice Cap in unison.

Before they had even stepped out a hundred meters above the ice cap, the crowd couldn't help but stop in unison again, silently examining the surroundings.

Behind and in front of them, a huge pillar of ice rose out of nowhere, and out of it emerged a tall, powerful, strange giant. Their skin was tile-blue, with a hint of transparency. The bones and blood inside their bodies were darker in color, and could be seen through almost unobstructed.

They were both male and female, and all of them were covered in simple and crude animal skins.

They were generally eleven to twelve meters tall.

The male ice giants appeared stronger, strong and muscular, bald, and a terrifying ice storm seemed to be brewing inside the white pupils of their eyes. The female ice giants were more petite, with a strange whip of ice cream hair floating behind their heads.

The female ice giants, on the other hand, are smaller and have a strange whip of ice on the back of their heads. They all possess the unique fierce strength of the giant race, as well as a frighteningly cold power.

Of the seventeen descendants of the ice giants, the leader of the group had the power of a 4th rank beginner, while the rest were almost all 3rd rank. There were only two that resembled underage children in appearance, and they also had the terrifying power of a 2nd rank intermediate.

"Stop right there, outsider!" The head ice giant's voice was loud and clear, and as he shouted harshly, the entire ice ocean began to run and roar, and the nearby ice caps also exploded and crumbled, "This is the territory of the great ice dragon Nax. You are not allowed to enter without permission!"

Che, what age is it that people still like to sign up before they fight....

Grim scowled under his breath as he mercilessly threw out the large flame sorcery he had been preparing for a long time.

Red Flame Storm....
