Chapter 7 Expectations
I was going to go there! But your second and third uncles dragged me and poured several jars of wine, and as a result, they were so drunk that they were in a mess......" Tie Wudao did not hesitate to put the blame on the two innocent brothers. "So if you want to complain, blame them."
"Second and third uncles...... It doesn't matter. Tie Lan said tolerantly, but in Tie Wudao's view, it was evidence that he had been despised again, and he couldn't help but fall into deep frustration, shrinking into a corner and muttering to himself as if he had given up on himself.
"Really...... My father didn't show up to bless the wedding...... It's just something that doesn't matter......"
However, at this time, Tielan had already paid attention to Yihao. "Have you finished reading the information of Yihao?"
"Well, roughly......" Yihao put down the information in his hand, looking quite surprised. To be honest, I didn't expect that this bit of information alone to be able to draw such detailed inferences. β
This is the result of the analysis of the information brought back by the intelligence experts of the Demon Hunting Association, which predicted that the entire territory of Switzerland would be covered in a harsh winter for a maximum of two weeks according to the expansion of the frost giants, and at the same time, according to the spirit wave detection records brought back by Yihao, it was also determined that there was an unusually large spiritual source at the bottom of Lake St. Moritz, and it was determined that it was this spiritual source that provided the energy for the frost giant's activities.
"Well, after all, the Demon Hunting Association has accumulated centuries of experience, plus borrowing the Swiss government's computer-level analysis, so this inference should not be wrong." Tielan explained with a chuckle.
"I see, this is the power of following the first law......" Yihao shook his head helplessly and turned to Tielan to ask. What do you think? Sister, since this information is accurate. When does the Demon Hunting Association plan to take action? It says that the whole of Switzerland will be covered in a harsh winter for a maximum of two weeks, but there is not much time to waste. β
"If possible, I'd like to take action right away, but here's the problem......," Tielan's confused gaze shifted to the goose feather snow flying outside the window. Lake St. Moritz is now home to frost giants, and the surrounding area is shrouded in frost. Coupled with the impact of the blizzard, we can't fight against the frost giants with the meager combat power we currently have. Not to mention going deep into the bottom of the lake...... Moreover, according to intelligence analysis, the lake of St. Moritz is almost completely frozen from top to bottom, and the ice layer that is hundreds of meters thick alone makes people helpless. β
"Well, that's right......" Yihao also seemed to be at a loss when he heard this. Even if you go with a drilling rig, you can't drill through this ice in two weeks, right? Plus there's the issue of the Frost Giants...... In this way, we can only consider the power of the Red World. Just find a way to make a hole in the ice......"
Yihao frowned and thought about it, and picked up the water cup in front of the table. Slightly injected with magic power, the steaming hot water quickly froze into ice cubes, and he was ready to make a small simulation.
"If you decompose like this, you shouldn't leave a water mark......" Gazing at the ice cube, Yihao spread out the realm of nothingness on his index finger. Then slowly reached for the ice, and as he expected, the ice broke down with ease. By the time he pulled his index finger out, there was already a hole in the ice that was slightly thicker than his index finger.
"Yihao, your strength...... Can it penetrate the ice? Tie Lan next to him immediately understood what he meant.
"Theoretically, there is no problem, but to penetrate hundreds of meters of ice in a row, I don't know if my magic power can support it until ......the end," Yihao smiled bitterly.
Casting the "Void Domain" will consume mana, and the mana consumed will increase proportionally according to the strength of the field and the area of action, and if you want to open a vertical passage on the ice layer hundreds of meters thick, at least one person can pass, then even Dakris can't bear it.
"But you have another way, right?" Tie Lan looked at him with a slight smile on his face, and that look of sincere trust made Yihao's heart roar rapidly, maybe it would be called "the power of love", in short, another brilliant idea flashed in his heart.
"It's not like there's no way......" Yihao asked, scratching his head. Can my sister find a way to find some Xuanhuo Talisman and Xuanbing Talisman for me? As long as the kind commonly used by Kunlun's disciples, it will do. While you're preparing these things, you can start drawing up your battle plan. β
Saying this, Yihao showed a confident look on his face.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the one hand, due to the rapid expansion of the Frost Domain, and on the other hand, due to the strong demand of the Swiss government, the Demon Hunting Association finalized the entire battle plan on the second day, based on the plan proposed by Yihao, and implemented it as soon as the preparations were completed on the third day.
According to the battle plan, the demon hunters were divided into two groups: the feint attack team and the commando team, the task of the feint attack team was to attack the frost giant village and attract the attention of the frost giant as much as possible, and the task of the shock team was to take the opportunity to break into the bottom of the lake of St. Moritz and destroy the spiritual source of the mutation.
As a matter of course, Yihao was assigned to the commando team, and due to the rather narrow passage of the Void Realm, only the other two were selected as his assistants. One of them was naturally Yuhime, the strongest demon hunter, while the other was unexpectedly the self-volunteering Tetsu Wudao - it wasn't that no one questioned his qualifications at first, but after Tetsu Wudao casually threw the two loudest first-class demon hunters out of the snow, everyone agreed that he was Yuhime's father.
Since the task of the feints is to attract the attention of the frost giants as much as possible and then retreat immediately, there are no special requirements for the rest of the demon hunters. However, considering the possibility of being entangled by the frost-toothed beast, Yi Hao arranged for Jing Yu to pick them up behind - of course, the nine-tailed sky fox expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, but in the end he still lost to the cold blizzard, whimpered and waved goodbye to Yi Hao.
As for Camilla, who has woken up, she also joined Cong as a foreign aid
The feints are foolproof.
Overall, the plan is quite simple, but there are no flaws, the only uncertain element is that the xenomorph spirit source hidden at the bottom of Lake St. Moritz cannot judge the appearance of its body, and naturally there is no way to formulate a plan for destruction, and can only act at the opportunity - although this is the case, the three of them as a commando can be said to be the strongest combination of demon hunters, so in terms of success rate, it is still quite impressive.
Because of the timing of the feint attack, Yihao and the three of them came to hide near Lake St. Moritz very early. The feints were expected to attack in twenty minutes, and before that they had to concentrate and prepare to reach the bottom of the lake, they were likely to fight alive.
Tie Lan held the Demon Slaying Sword to condense her spirit in the shadow of the ice wall, this was her habit before facing an important battle, and Yihao and Tie Wudao didn't mean to bother her. The two sat down a little farther away, watching the Frost Giant's movements. While chatting casually.
"But then again, the level of the Demon Hunting Association has also declined, and in the past, at least a few beautiful Demon Hunters could be found, but this time they are all little ghosts who don't know the height of the sky, it's really degenerate......" Tie Wudao was smoking a cigarette while complaining in a personal style, but he noticed that Yihao had been silent since just now. Feed. Why didn't Yihao speak? Isn't it scared? Is this all my son-in-law has to offer? β
"This. If you want to say that you are scared, right......" Yihao slowly turned his head to look at Tie Wudao, and for some reason he smiled bitterly, he subconsciously stretched out his left hand, and a thought flashed through the "Void Realm", and then turned into a visible gray haze that wrapped his left hand. That is enough to annihilate the chaos of all things in the world.
Yihao looked at this "chaos" and asked Tie Wudao as if he were fascinated. "Uncle, I want to ask...... Have you ever been afraid that you have the power of the earth? β
"Are you afraid of the power you have......" did not mock Yihao's question. Tie Wudao instead showed a thoughtful look, looked up at the unknown distance, and was silent for a moment, and then said in an affirmative tone. "Yes, I've had times when I've been scared of my own strength."
"That's ...... When? Yihao looked at him in surprise, and his eyes were more expectant.
"Well, it's time for me to defeat Daddy...... Tie Wudao's voice was as low and slow as if he had fallen into the abyss of memory. I was still a little complacent, but the next day came the news of my father's suicide, and at that time, I felt frightened, and the strength that my father had cultivated killed my father instead......"
"That's what it is...... Uncle, why did you leave the Iron Gate? Yihao asked subconsciously, but Tie Wudao ignored his question and continued to speak. But that's just my delusion. β
"Delusion?"
"Yes, it's a delusion, in fact, I'm not getting stronger, it's just that my dad is getting weaker...... You don't know yet, do you? Before I left the Iron Gate, I had challenged Wuji, probably because of my shaking heart, and I was beaten to the ground by him, and then I knew that this fear was actually just an illusion, and I didn't beat my father at all. β
"Then uncle, you are ...... when you leave the iron gate"
", of course, is the pursuit of power." Tie Wudao waved his hand casually. "I didn't beat Daddy, it's just that Daddy lost to Age, and I can't tolerate such an opportunistic victory, so unless I get the power to defeat Daddy, I can't forgive myself for being complacent at that time."
From Tie Wudao's seemingly indifferent tone, he felt an unprecedented heaviness, Yihao unconsciously forgot his troubles and continued to ask. "Uncle, are you ...... now? Is there already a power to outperform grandpa? β
"Who knows...... Tie Wudao snuffed out the cigarette butt, and his tone revealed a hint of loneliness. Daddy was dead, and no matter how good I was, I couldn't pull him out of the grave and fight him again, and when I finally realized this, I realized that I had been chasing the shadow of the dead man, and there was nothing left......"
"Uncle ......" If you say comfort at this moment, it will make the other party angry, right? Yihao, who is also a man, understood this, so he had to remain silent, while Tie Wudao continued.
"In my original opinion, Daddy is the strongest martial artist in the world, although I have fought with many strong men over the years, but they are far from reaching the 'strongest' level, this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's opponent is not considered to have won against Daddy even if he defeats more......"
Speaking of which, Tie Wudao looked up at Yihao.
"But Yihao, you are different from those guys, although you are not fully mature, but you have the ...... to become the 'strongest'"
Tie Wudao's eyes were kind, and his tone showed approval and expectation, but Yihao felt inexplicable for some reason, and asked with a cold shiver. "Uncle, what do you mean ......?"
"Anyway!" The tough tone seemed to represent the end of the topic, and Tie Wudao's expression returned to his usual cynical appearance in the next moment. "The above is my personal experience, as for whether it is useful or not, it is up to you to judge...... But then again. Even if you decide to stop because you're scared, that's your own business, and no one will blame you. β
"Uncle......" Tie Wudao's words seemed to have contradictory meanings, Yihao couldn't help but be confused, and at this moment. Behind him was the sound of Tierandi's footsteps, and he couldn't continue the conversation. I had to turn around and look back. "Is my sister okay?"
"Well, it's over." Tielan, who came to his side, had a sharp aura circulating on his body, and the whole person was like a freshly sharpened blade, and the slightest touch would cut him.
"Alright. It's almost time to get started. Tie Wudao then stood up and turned his head to look at the lake of St. Moritz
Village. I saw a red flare rising in the distance.
"The timing is really right, these guys are the most honest at the turn of day and night, but they are also the most grumpy when they are woken up...... Hehe, poor thing, probably going to break your leg, right? β
Feint with Camilla as the ground. In a short period of time, a large amount of firepower was poured into the Frost Giant's village, and the explosion and flames soon surrounded the Frost Giant's village, and the buildings were of course completely destroyed. Even the frost-toothed beasts were killed in the flames, but the frost giants who ran out of the flames didn't seem to be hurt much.
Just as Iron Wudao had predicted, the enraged Frost Giants ignored the feint's firepower and roared in the direction of the sneak attackers as the earth trembled, more than twice as fast as the usual Frosttooth Beast fell behind.
The feints, which were expected to last for ten minutes, were finally broken through the line of fire by the frost giants before they could even reach five minutes, and had to retreat early. Anyway, their mission was to draw the attention of the Frost Giants, and now it seemed that the feints were too good - thousands of Frost Giants and Frost-Toothed Beasts converged into a terrifying stream of turbidity across the ice field, and the sound alone was terrifying, and the demon hunters who were chased by this array were terrifying...... It's probably not an organized lure retreat, it's just a group of poor people screaming and desperately trying to escape.
If they survive, maybe these tens of kilometers of long-distance running and sprinting will become an unforgettable memory for their lives, right?
"Oh, ah, it's really unfortunate......" Tie Wudao's face showed an undisguised look of schadenfreude, while Yihao was very ashamed to see that he actually had a similar snickering joy in his heart.
"Let's go, we can't let them die in vain." Tie Lan's words sounded reasonable, but the attitude of arbitrarily assuming the other party's ending seemed to be even worse, and Yihao and Tie Wudao had no objections, and the three of them walked out of the hidden stone crevice and slid down the slope to the surface of Lake St. Moritz.
The flames that surrounded the Frost Giant's village had long since been extinguished by the bitter cold, and in front of them were the crumbling ice in front of them. Tie Wudao tried to stomp on the ice below, and the feeling that was solider than a rock came from it, and he couldn't help but whistle.
"Wow, it's really as thick as the information says...... Is it really okay? β
"Of course it's been prepared for a long time." Yihao patted the belt bag on his belt and replied confidently.
Next, the three of them followed the instructions of the spiritual wave detector and came to the center of Lake St. Moritz while on guard.
ββ¦β¦ That's right, right below this is where the anomalous spirit source is. After confirming this, Tielan nodded to Yihao. Yihao, you can get started. β
"Okay, get out of the way." Yi Hao refined the wind wings, flapped his wings, and flew into the air, then took out six spells from his waist bag, three Xuanbing runes and three Xuanhuo runes, respectively, and held them in his left and right hands, and then injected a little magic power to ignite the rune paper. The flames burned out in an instant, and out of the ashes were an ice blade and a flame blade.
"Combine the blazing attackers and the ice blue defenders!"
With the power of the zΓ i spell stored in advance, Yi Hao was able to summon the extinct fire spirits in the Frost Realm, and then by combining the balance of fire and ice blades, he was able to refine the original spell Judgment Blade that could destroy all matter.
"Then show up, Great Exterminator!"
The chaos formed by the combination of the fire blade and the ice blade turned into the shape of a spear in Yihao's hand, and the spear shimmered with chaotic brilliance, making the edges blurred, and although it had not yet been thrown, the overflowing power had weighed down the ice directly below it and dented slightly.
The two people on the ground felt the destructive power of the spear and subconsciously moved away from the target point.
"......Give it to me," Yihao raised the Blade of Judgment high, blessing the power of the wind spirit on it, and the muscles of his whole body tensed to the limit, and after a second of condensation, he threw it violently. Smash it! β
With a roar that resounded through the heavens, the Blade of Judgment tore through the air, sinking into the ice, and disappeared without a sound. The hole left in place is only the size of a fist, and people can't help but feel disappointed that "the thunder is loud and the rain is small".
"Hey, you can't get through it, can you?" Tie Wudao said in confusion to Yihao, who had landed.
ββ¦β¦ No, there is no problem. Before Yihao came back to his senses, Tielan replied in his place, and then drew his demon slaying sword and slashed it on the ice. With the sound of broken glass, the ice layer less than a finger thick shattered instantly, and what appeared in front of the three of them was a bottomless ice cave with a diameter of more than three meters.
"Well, it's still not good...... Yihao scratched his head and showed a look of annoyance. Originally, he planned to control the destruction point within two meters, so that the Blade of Judgment could penetrate deeper, but it seems that he was too naΓ―ve, probably less than a hundred meters, right?
"How about another sister?" He asked Tielan for advice.
"It seems too late, they've noticed the movement." Tielan shook her head and looked into the distance, only to see that the frost giants running behind had noticed that another group of strangers in the village had begun to rush back.
"Then there is no way...... Yihao took a deep breath and jumped into the ice cave. Come along, don't get too close! β
