Text vip_Chapter 279 Ice Palace
"Peng!"
Suddenly, the golden light swelled. It's like a small sun bursting right in front of your eyes. Wu Yue had to raise her hand to block it in front of her eyes to resist the light that made her eyes sting.
EIJI IMMEDIATELY STOOD IN FRONT OF HIM AND RAISED HIS HAND. A TRANSPARENT BARRIER APPEARED IN FRONT OF EIJI.
After the light slowly disappeared, Wu Yue felt that there was still a colorful halo in front of her that was constantly turning, and she couldn't see things clearly at all.
"I thought it was a self-destruct. It turned out to be Sun Fist. This vindictiveness is really omnipotent. Wu Yue rubbed her eyes and said.
"It seems that the other party obviously has no intention of resisting us. EIJI'S VOICE CAME FROM AHEAD.
Wu Yue's eyes slowly regained their vision. The scene in front of him slowly became clearer. Cruise had disappeared to the ground in front of him.
After making sure that there were no ambushes and no remaining beasts around, everyone slowly gathered over.
"My brother mastered Thunder Flow when he was 14 years old. If I did, I wouldn't be able to catch up. Rex said. "But if my brother chooses to retreat, he has a certain ability to think, and he shouldn't be controlled. Then why don't you know me?"
What about "......", what should I say?
Wu Yue had a super awkward feeling that the words were stuck in her throat but she couldn't say.
"But there's a palace in front of you. Barn, who walked slowly, put his right hand on his forehead in the shape of a brim, and looked into the distance. "Since that handsome white-haired guy is going to retreat, it should be there. β
There is no more snow in the barrier now. The sky was clear and blue, clear and bright. Without the wind and snow, you can see far away.
After Barn's reminder, the crowd looked forward.
It's still in the mountains, and it's still in the middle of the icy field. The air and temperature were nearly twice as cold as outside the barrier. Wu Yue must also buckle the eye patch of the helmet on her face now. Otherwise, the cold air scraping on the face will hurt like a knife. I also had to stomp my feet from time to time to prevent the ice from spreading upwards. Of course, the same is true for everyone. You can only look out through the small holes in the mask. The view was obstructed, and it wasn't Barn who reminded everyone that they really didn't notice.
In the center, which is covered with snow and surrounded by rocks, you can see a cone-shaped decoration similar to the top of the castle. It's as clear as ice.
Ice Palace...... That's where the Snow Queen Rose is. If they did get there, they would have killed Rose and Cruise.
"MR. EIJI, LET'S GO TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN FIRST. Wu Yue suddenly pointed to herself and said. "Those beasts just now should be most of the guard monsters. Then there should only be Cruise in that palace now. Me and Rex should be fine. β
It's better to try to avoid fratricide. Cruise's words, I don't know if he can use Purification or Remy's Kiss to undo his control. Calling Rex to go mainly requires someone to control Cruise's speed. Why didn't you know that Cruise would still be thunderous when he was playing games, although he was a bit difficult to play with this APC.
"I agree with Wu Yue. Rex immediately stepped up and said. "Mr. Bath, Mr. EIJI, please leave my brother's words to me. If it gets to the point where he really wants to die, I don't want him to die at the hands of someone else. You go to the top of the mountain to hunt the ice dragon first. Mr. Lu, do you think it's okay for me to do this?"
"Strategically and situationally, this is an extremely dangerous approach and idea. Without knowing the dangers of the Ice Palace and the security of the personnel, this may not only kill the two of you, but also attack us behind our backs when we go up the mountain. There must still be troops at the top of the mountain. Then it will cause us to be attacked on both sides. Not advisable. Lu Xiao shook his head directly. "And the two of you are at the heart of this operation. You must be given more information about the Ice Dragon. If the two of you lag here, put the cart before the horse. The best thing to do is for everyone to go together. Fight in a blitzkrieg way. Isn't this also explained before? Unauthorized actions by military personnel can easily cause damage to the overall situation. If you two want to act, you'd better be aware of it. β
Saying this, Lu Xiao's eyes became cold.
Is enlightenment, that is, the consciousness of being the enemy of everybody? That's not a good thing. Lu Xiao looked so weak, and his thoughts were unexpectedly dangerous.
"I know what you two are thinking. Barn immediately stepped forward. "Don't waste time here. The Ice Palace must be captured. Full speed ahead, everybody, remember, capture Cruise alive!"
"That's it. EIJI smiled at Wu Yue. "That's your friend's brother, and it's only natural for you to want to save him. But after all, it is necessary to think about the big picture. Now it's the bottom line, and there are no more requirements, understand?"
"Rex too, do you hear that?" Barn said.
"Yes. β
"Got it. β
Wu Yue and Rex honestly bowed their heads and apologized and admitted their mistakes.
"Don't carry it here anymore. To go. EIJI patted Wu Yue and Rex on the back of the head. "To stop that gray-haired dude before he does something more dangerous. β
Everyone walked slowly and came to the front of the ice and snow palace, raising their heads and looking at the magnificent palace in front of them.
"BARN, WAS THIS PALACE LIKE THAT WHEN YOU CAME HERE BEFORE?" EIJI LOOKED UP, A LOOK OF ASTONISHMENT ON HIS FACE.
"No, I haven't been here in 10 years. It seems that the Ice Queen has been idle enough in the past ten years. Barn also raised his head and looked at the palace in front of him in surprise.
The crowd stood still, unable to move.
It was an extremely magnificent palace. But the palace in the heart of Huttonmar has a completely unusual feel. Huttonmar Palace is a sprawling palace made of various precious stones, jadeite, and marbles with gorgeous colors. It can be said that it is an aggregate of various exquisite items.
And the palace in front of it has a grandeur not far from the palace of Huttonmar. Everyone stood in front of the palace as if they were ants facing a giant elephant, even Barn, who was accustomed to seeing the magnificent palace, EIJI and Lu Xiao were all impressed by the momentum of the palace in front of them.
The palace is almost 10,000 meters long. That's secondary. The focus is on that height. Almost thirty or forty meters high. The huge and towering building, the sense of intimidation makes people's hearts shake for a while. What's even weirder is that the entire building is made up entirely of a huge piece of ice. No extra stones, no extra colors, no extra voids. There are lattice patterns between the buildings, but there is not a single gap. The whole castle shimmers in the sunlight and glows blue.
"It's weird. When I saw it before, it was less than a tenth of the size. In the past few years, the kung fu has changed so much. This Ice Queen is usually idle. Barn touched his chin and smiled.
"Mr. Barn, do you know who is here?" Wu Yue looked at Barn in surprise.
"I've been here before. It's not just me, EIJI, Lu Xiao, they've all been here. Barn smiled and shrugged. "Next, attack the Ice Palace. Beware of traps. Attacking in teams of two. β
The distribution of the teams was made clear at the beginning. If you are in a team of two, it is Wu Yue and Rex in a group.
"It's not incomprehensible that you didn't kill the Ice Dragon, but didn't you kill the Ice Queen?" Wu Yue asked strangely. "How strong is the Ice Queen?"
"That's why I don't agree with you and Rex going alone. Barn's face was covered in a helmet and he couldn't see his expression. But the voice began to grow heavy. "Rose, the Ice Queen, is immortal. So don't fight when you two see Rose. Retreat immediately. Leave it to us. β
No... Immortal?
Wu Yue's expression began to be embarrassed.
Damn, this is not the same as in the game. The immortal body seems to be the only one with the evil dragon Spitz. No, according to the plot of the game, it is only because the healing ability of the evil dragon Spitz is too strong that there is an illusion of immortality, and in fact, he was finally killed by the adventurer. How can a small boss of Loth here not die?
"Our previous head of the regiment once stabbed Rose through her body. But she was indifferent. And our regimental leader was also touched by Rose's hand in the next second and was frozen into an ice sculpture. Then I cut off her head with a knife, and she finally didn't move. She wasn't bleeding, and the section of her neck was just ice. Barn said. "The next time the ice dragon survey was conducted, the investigators said they had seen Rose in good condition again. β
"......" Wu Yue didn't know what to say. It's okay if the body is pierced, only the head is cut off and it doesn't move, it's not dead. If you have ice cubes...", maybe it's because the Ice Queen's body isn't the main body. β
"I thought about it at the time. So we searched the whole palace and destroyed the whole palace. Set it on fire to melt it completely. But now that the palace is rebuilt, it seems that it is useless," Barn smiled and shook his head. "So from now on, everyone be careful. Don't force yourself with Rose. Just cut off her head. Wu Yue, don't be impulsive either, you two won't be impulsive, you will only be frozen when you touch her. β
"I see. Wu Yue and Rex nodded.
"Then it's up to me and Hyde to pioneer the way. If the layout of the palace has not changed, we have experience. Barn drew his dagger in his hand. Hyde, who was standing nearby, also drew the long sword at his waist. Hyde is also a young man in his mid-twenties. But there are seventy-six levels. It can be said that apart from Barn, he is the strongest person in the Iron Wolf Knights. He is also the deputy head of the Iron Wolf Knights.
"The second pair was teamed up by Yanwu and Chuno. Lu Xiao said. "Yanwu's reflex nerve is very strong. The Breath Mask can also protect you in times of unforeseen circumstances. The defense, healing, and purification of the mound are also the best backups. The third team is composed of Wu Yue and Rex. You two have to look at everything. If necessary, abandon the team members and flee back. Both of you are strong and talented. It's absolutely fine to run away. Got it?"
"Ahh Thisβ" Rex hesitated to agree.
"I see. I'll watch things move forward. Wu Yue nodded.
"Good. That's right. Lu Xiao nodded. "The fourth team was formed by EIJI and me. I'm in charge of being careful how things change. EIJI protects Wu Yue and Rex. The fifth team was Meng Huang and Lan, and the last team was formed by Mr. Buwanga and Palanto. The two of you are responsible for watching out for the danger that lies behind. Each team keeps a distance of about three meters from the front. Don't use the running one. What else is there to prevent sudden pitfalls?"
"Nope. The crowd said.
"Then let's go first. Gone Hyde. Barn and Hyde walked forward. The palace has a huge ice gate that is five meters high and seven meters wide. There is no lock on the door, and the ice door only closes by its own weight. But the weight of this giant door is definitely not something that humans can push open on their own. The difficulty is like pushing a hill on your own.
But Barn walked to the door. I saw only a golden light flashing in front of the door. Accompanied by the sound of a heavy object collapsing. In front of Barn and Hyde was cut a triangular void three meters high and two meters wide. The sound was the sound of the severed door being kicked down by Hyde. Listening to the weight, just the cut ice door weighs hundreds of pounds.
"Well... It's fierce. "Is this Barn's strength? stepping out of the realm of humanity lightly.
"That's natural. The name of Bahn resounded throughout the Arad continent. The only person who can compare to Barn is EIJI. Both of them broke through the strength of the black-clothed swordsman at the age of only twenty. He is known as the sword master of the world. Rex said to Wu Yue. "That was the strength of a few years ago, and it is even more unknown what the current strength is. β
"ABOVE THE SWORD MASTER, ISN'T IT THE SWORD GOD? AND THE SWORD SAINT, IN ADDITION TO THE TWO OF THEM, BUWANGA IS ALSO AH, AND THERE ARE ALSO XILAN AND AGAN ZUO OF THE VOID MOTHERLAND, ISN'T IT THE SAME? WHY ARE ONLY MR. EIJI AND MR. BARN THE MOST FAMOUS?" WU YUE SAID STRANGELY.
"Sword God? The people you're talking about are the Four Sword Saints who killed the Apostle Shylock. That's true, but Bath is the only one who is more active right now. Rex shook his head. Go ahead. "Leave this alone. It's up to us. Let's go. β
"It's fine. Wu Yue put her hands on the back of her head and walked forward boringly.
Sword God ......
EIJI, who was standing in the back, couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Wu Yue who was walking forward.
"I didn't expect anyone to know about the unique realm of the Sword God. Wu Yue, this kid is really mysterious. LU XIAO LOOKED AT EIJI AND SMILED. "Is this kid really just a civilian child?"
"Who knows. EIJI SMILED AND SHRUGGED. "It's our turn. According to what you said, we can die, and this child must not die. I'll give you up if I have to. β
"It's nature. I will do my best so that I don't drop it. Lu Xiao smiled. Go ahead.
After entering the ice palace, the cold air hit my face.
What comes into view is a wide area. It was like an ancient temple, with no decorations or objects, only a large open space. Not even the guards. Huge ice pillars exist at intervals, supporting the entire palace. The palace does not have a dome. Look up and see the bright sky.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the whole palace exudes a faint purple.
