Chapter 52: The Iceman

"Mr. Report! A total of twenty-six fresh bodies were found, along with countless remains. A soldier said to Chen Ming.

After hearing this, Chen Ming nodded and said, "So many people have been arrested, is there no rumor in the imperial city at all?" ”

The soldier looked a little embarrassed and said, "According to the clothes of the deceased, these should be beggar refugees or something." The Imperial City doesn't care if they live or die. ”

Chen Ming was about to say something when he suddenly received a system message.

Ding~ The progress of the main quest has been updated

Destroy the Demon Stronghold in the Imperial City (2/3)

……

Chen Ming looked at the prompt, a little puzzled, didn't he just exterminate a demon clan? How did you complete the main story?

Could it be said? Chen Ming suddenly remembered that he had asked Dongfang Yan to help him find a stronghold before, it wouldn't be that he had completed the task!

"Where is Dongfang Yan?" , Chen Ming asked the soldiers on the side.

"Mr. Hui, Lord Dongfang has gone to deal with the remaining officials this morning. Now it's time to settle all the officials of the fornicating demon clan. ”

Chen Ming nodded in understanding. Erha is also a newcomer to the imperial city, and he only knows the stronghold of his own Xiaoyue Heavenly Wolf and the five sons of the divine dog. The rest only know that it is the stronghold of the nine-tailed demon fox, but they don't know where it is.

This Dongfang is strict to deal with those rapists, and the demon clan that charmed the Dragon Emperor before was the fox clan's. Maybe it has something to do with that third stronghold. In this way, Dongfang Yan's luck is also quite good.

It took him several days to solve a stronghold, and he actually completed the task by copying his house. Just looking at the combat effectiveness of these five divine dogs, the battle on his side may not be optimistic. I just don't know if there were any casualties.

"Now the news of the attack on the Goko Divine Dog stronghold should also spread. We'll go to the next stronghold at once and catch them before they escape. ", Chen Ming commanded.

The soldier stooped down and saluted, "yes," and then stepped back to straighten out the ranks.

Finding more than a dozen people to clean up the battlefield and dealing with the aftermath of the dead by the way, Chen Ming led the remaining soldiers towards the outside of the city.

The Howling Moon Wolf's stronghold is in a cemetery outside the city. Since most of the people buried there are poor people, there are many ghost legends in the cemetery. This place is quite inaccessible, and even merchants who come and go to the imperial city will avoid it.

When Chen Ming arrived at the cemetery, it was already a little dark, so he ignited the fire element that had accumulated for half a day. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, blowing out the flames in Chen Ming's palm. Then, a cloud of mist gradually formed, white and eerie

Chen Ming whispered to his subordinates: "Send someone to fence this place, don't rush into the cemetery, it's enough for me to be alone." ”

After explaining, Chen Ming stepped into the cemetery alone. After taking two steps, it dissipated into the mist. The soldiers outside the cemetery were worried, but they still carried out Chen Ming's orders.

At this time, Chen Ming walked about one hundred and twenty steps, and his surroundings were completely shrouded in fog, and he couldn't see anything. From time to time, there was a wolf howl in the fog, which made people shudder.

Chen Ming calculated, feeling that this distance should not affect the soldiers. So he took out the black umbrella, the surface of the umbrella folded and bent, and after a while, it turned into a big fan.

Chen Ming held the black umbrella above his head, and then a stream of air whistled out, blowing away all the fog around him. Several mounds suddenly appeared around him, and Chen Ming walked towards one of the graves with stone tombstones.

Another wolf howl came, as if to warn Chen Ming not to approach the tombstone. Where would Chen Ming care about this, and directly ordered the umbrella cloth to move the stele away.

As for why Chen Ming didn't move by himself, it was naturally because he couldn't move!

After the tombstone was removed, a rectangular entrance appeared. The entrance is dark and dark, and it looks particularly eerie in the dim environment. Chen Ming only felt that a cold air burst out from the entrance of the cave in an instant, and it stuck to his body for a long time.

Chen Ming said secretly: "Pretend to be a ghost", then lit the flames and walked directly towards the cave. The cave does not have a staircase like the Goko Divine Dog, but a slightly rough slope.

The slope is close to 90 degrees, and if ordinary people strayed into this place, they would not be able to get out on their own. Chen Ming also slipped directly against the slope to the bottom of the cave.

After reaching the bottom of the cave, the space is still narrow, giving people a strange sense of oppression. Chen Ming only felt a little out of breath, thinking that it was because of the lack of oxygen in the cave. After all, he is also a cub who has received nine years of compulsory education, how can he be frightened by this scene?

There are walls on three sides, and only there is a passage in front of it. The passage was narrow and rugged, and after passing through two forks in the road, Chen Ming released his umbrella cloth to explore the way.

Ten minutes later, Chen Ming followed the umbrella cloth to the exit of the passage. Out of the passage, Chen Ming only felt suddenly enlightened, but he trembled all over.

Beyond the passage was a large hall, the walls of which were made of ice, and even the load-bearing pillars were icicles. And above the icicles, a human face suddenly appeared.

Immediately after that, the hands, feet, body, and the silhouette of a human figure were slowly outlined on the icicle. Immediately afterwards, the "man" slowly detached from the icicle from his hand and became an iceman.

Bingsheng twisted his hands and feet stiffly, and punched Chen Ming's head. Chen Ming didn't dodge or dodge, and ate this attack. "About 300 attack power, it will have a certain freezing effect after hitting." , Chen Ming analyzed.

The iceman greeted Chen Ming with another punch on the head, and Chen Ming deliberately used part of the thorn effect. Subsequently, bursts of ice crystals burst from the iceman's body, making a sound of "Dingding~" on Chen Ming's body.

Chen Ming continued: "The freezing effect can be stacked, and when attacked, it will fight back with the help of the broken ice formed by the body. Looks like the wound can't be repaired. ”

The iceman was about to throw another punch, but his head was blown apart by Chen Ming's fire elemental. However, the Iceman did not hesitate to punch this punch.

"Doesn't it matter if the head is knocked off? It doesn't seem to be critical. No......", Chen Ming used the black umbrella to pierce the iceman's body and took out a blue crystal.

Then, as if he had lost his dream, the Iceman fell to the ground, shattered into a pile of ice, and stopped thinking. Chen Ming held the crystal and saw that the system displayed:

Item Name: Golem Crystal (Black Iron) (Ice/Water)

Item Effect: Can be used as a conductor to manipulate the Elemental Golem

"Looks like this thing can sell for some money!" , Chen Ming looked at the crystal and said. Then he put away the crystal and looked at the hundreds of icemen in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.
