Chapter 125: Welcome to the Ice Field

Steven wasn't a man who was used to giving himself leeway, he just knew that he had an opportunity to take a step toward his dream of becoming a follower of Lord Heidi, and he had to seize it.

So Steven resolutely withdrew from his family's forces and chose to join Lowe's Night Mercenary Group.

Lord Heidi only likes those who are crazy enough, and Steven feels as if he has become more and more in line with Heidi's standards.

Lowe was happy to accept this rough, cunning man who always stood up to his principles, and he was still a master.

The vast majority of people with abilities will choose to abandon weapons such as guns and choose daggers and other easy-to-carry and long-lasting cold weapons after entering the super level, and even more people directly choose their fists. Although Steven occasionally used his fists, he had no intention of giving up his big gun.

In his own words, thermal weapons, such as firearms, are always more powerful than cold weapons, such as daggers. Of course, it also depends on what kind of gun it is, and more importantly, in whose hands it is held.

The curtain door of the tent, which had condensed a thick layer of ice chips, was suddenly lifted from the outside, and with the air flow carrying large prongs of snow flakes came in with a gloomy face, and a faint hint of panic appeared Zarik.

"Damn you, don't you even have the ability to stay on the ice for ten minutes, when you're about to become a master? Or rather, you're going to give me another good reason to beat you up! ”

Steven was visibly annoyed by Zarik's sudden intrusion, and he even began to consider whether or not to beat Zarik up again before leaving the supply point.

"Steven, you brought someone with the Ice Spirit Stone, and he was the one who attracted those damn ghost ice leeches! You must get him out of my camp right now, before he kills everyone here!" ”

The demons who were so obsessed with it had appeared on the ice around Zarik's camp that they were attracted to the Icestone, and Zarik didn't think Steven would make the lowly mistake of casually putting the Icestone on his body.

The only one left to make such an unforgivable mistake, and possibly end up dragging his hard-earned supply points to hell, is this rookie of the wilderness who came to his camp with Steven.

"Zarik! Please keep your mouth in check. I picked him up from the edge of the ice field, and he had never been to the ice field before, let alone to the depths of the ice field, so there could be no ice spirit stone on him! Besides, even if there is an ice spirit stone, you dare to touch it and try it! ”

Steven still has no intention of using the big gun on his back, and the internal conflicts within the family can be resolved with his fists, and he avoids using weapons such as knives and guns. And Steven was confident enough to beat Zarik half to death with his fists.

He would never allow Zarik to slander Lo, who is a dependent of His Excellency Heidi, and slandering Lo is tantamount to slandering His Excellency Heidi, which is unacceptable to Steven.

Steven pounced on Zarik like an angry lion and swung his fist into the air. He decided to beat the other party up right now, in the other party's camp, in front of the other party's tent.

Zarik was surprisingly quiet, and he looked coldly at Steven, who had been dulled by anger, with an undisguised sarcasm on his face.

Steven's clenched fist didn't end up on Zarik, and he seemed to finally remember a creature that his somewhat cowardly cousin had just mentioned in his slander against Lowe.

Ghost ice leeches?

A ghost ice leech chasing the ice stone like a smelly fly? Don't......

Steven let go of Zarik, who was still staring at him, and looked through the narrow gap in the tent curtain that was crackling in the wind of the roaring ice field, and looked at the barren ice field outside the tent.

The ice surface of the ice field in the distance was still the same eternal blue-black, but the ice near the supply point had already turned a hideous jet-black color, as if it had been splashed with a layer of jet-black ink. Vast expanses of jet-black color were like rapidly changing dark clouds, slowly gathering towards this supply point.

The other tents were already standing on the ice outside the tents, skillfully tearing open the stiff sacks stacked outside the tent, crushing the frozen soil inside the sacks, and then sprinkling it all over every ice where the supply point was located.

Swept across the ice by these adherents was some reddish-brown gravel, the kind of reddish-brown gravel that could be found everywhere in the wilderness. The sand and gravel from the wilderness is definitely a weapon to deal with terrifying creatures like ghost ice leeches.

They are not afraid of the ghost ice leeches carrying the radiation snow flakes in the ice field, and they are extremely afraid of the wilderness sand that contains weak radiation. They would never dare to get out of the ice that was sprinkled with the sand and gravel of the wilderness, so they could only hide under the thick ice and wait for the wind of the ice field to sweep the sand away for them.

They had enough patience to wait for these despicable people from the wilderness to spill no more sand and gravel before they swarmed out of the ice in clusters, ruthlessly taking everything on the ice with them.

The reason why ghost ice leeches gather is always the Ice Spirit Stone, and they gather only for the Ice Spirit Stone.

It was for this reason that Zarik was so sure that Lo definitely had the Ice Spirit Stone on his body, although he didn't know how this rookie, who had obviously just stepped into the ice field, could have the Ice Spirit Stone, a symbol of demons and angels.

Their vision has long since deteriorated, but their sense of smell is sharp enough, and they can even smell the presence of ice stones dozens of kilometers away through the thick ice, and keep the people who carry them firmly in the hearts of the entire group.

In the hands of the wilderness, the Ice Stone is the devil who tempts the endless swarm of ghost leeches. And in the hands of the old and mysterious priests in those ancient and magnificent temples deep in the ice fields, the Ice Stone is the angel that can awaken the gods.

Zarik looked at the sand that had just been blown away by the wind as it had just spilled on the ice, and finally stepped forward, joining the busy figure of his retainer.

He didn't want to lose it, and it was unrealistic to drive Lo away from his one, and Steven would definitely use his fists to teach him how to be gentle and entertain a distinguished guest from the wilderness.

"Dear Luo, I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to hear first?"

Steven looked at Zarik's busy back, muttered a low word, put the big gun in his hand back on his shoulder, and then looked back at Luo who was staring at the black clouds above the ice.

Luo raised his head, he heard the words "Ice Stone" from Zarik's words, it seemed that this kind of thing called "Ice Spirit Stone" caused the dark clouds under the ice, and the other party obviously suspected that he was carrying this kind of thing that should only appear in the depths of the ice field.

Not to mention this kind of ice spirit stone that I don't know what it is used for, Luo didn't even have a copper coin on his body.

"Am I causing them some trouble?"

Lowe looked at Zarik and his retains, and at the remaining sacks.

If the wind in the ice field had remained at its current level, the sand in the sack would have been completely depleted after half an hour.

"It's not a trouble, it's just a small supply point, and I'll give my hapless cousin enough compensation."

Steven didn't have the slightest intention of stepping forward to help, and he even had the intention of returning to the warm tent again.

"I've not had a lot of luck lately, so you might as well start with some good news."

As he spoke, Lowe bent down and grabbed a handful of gravel, walked over to a patch of ice at the edge of the supply point, and crouched down.

"The good news is that I'm so flattered that Icefield welcomed you with such a grand welcome. So, my buddy, welcome to Icefield! ”

The corners of Luo's mouth curled, and he stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the sand and gravel ice.

Cold, depressing, desperate and dead, like a lonely and sad soul who has been abandoned.

This is? Will of the Ice Plains? Maybe it's their will!

Luo stared at the dark clouds under the thick ice, and his deep black pupils pierced through the blue-black ice, and he could see the hideous appearance of the strange creature below.

Lowe didn't think the name "ghost leeches" was a good way to describe the creature, it looked like a bunch of surging tentacles, a little bit like a small octopus on a single entity, but without any facial features, a soft, slime-stained gray-black bagged body with three to seven tentacle-like severed limbs, countless suckers all over the tentacles, and a high bulging lump at the front of its body.

This lump was not their head, but more like, more like a weapon, and Luo felt a faint sense of crisis from the lump.

They weren't fast, like blind men groping their way through the night with as many as eight tentacles.

"This creature is called a ghost leech, a kind of guy who likes to bully more with less, but it is actually a huge leech that has been tied together haphazardly. They have an amazing ability to absorb these tentacles and can also secrete highly corrosive acids. They can hide quietly under the thick ice for years or even decades, just to wait for their target, the Ice Stone. ”

Steven stepped forward and squatted on the ice where Luo was, and glanced at the more and more ghost leeches gathering under the ice, and his face couldn't help but show a solemn look.

Luo quietly stared at these ghost leeches who seemed to be extremely afraid of the reddish-brown sand on the ice, and couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart.

This thing is a mutated creature of the ice field? They don't seem to be terrifying enough to change the color of super-level abilities, and they don't even pose a threat to the mutant wolves in the wilderness. While their appearance and numbers are indeed a bit terrifying, their slow speed is definitely their fatal weakness.

As for the corrosive acid, the people who stepped into the ice fields from the wilderness had reached the point of unlocking at least ten pairs of genetic sequences, and the corrosive liquid might be just an ornament for these people.

But the look of panic on the faces of Zarik and his clingers wasn't faked, could it be that there was something terrifying about this little thing that Steven hadn't talked about?

Luo was tempted to break through the ice and fish out one and use the dissecting method to get a thorough understanding of the group, but he eventually gave up on the idea.

The wind on the ice field was strong enough, and Luo didn't dare to guarantee whether it would be a ball or a ball after opening the ice.

"What makes this creature terrifying is its terrifying stickiness and its terrifying memory! Also, it discharges electricity, releasing a powerful current that paralyzes the Juggernaut to the ground. ”

Discharge!

There are very few mutated creatures in the wilderness that use electricity as a means of attack. The mutated creatures of the wilderness resemble the cruel and brutal nature of the wilderness, perhaps tearing their prey to shreds with their razor-sharp teeth, possessing deadly toxins or corrosive slime, and even carrying viruses and plagues.

But mutated creatures in the wilderness don't, or rather disdain, to discharge. As a result, the vast majority of the Anomalies from the Wilderness are not resistant to electricity.

"As long as they are attached to their tentacles that seem to be exploring their prey all the time, there is no way to get rid of them unless they strip off the part they are attached to."

Steven smiled wryly at Lowe.

"Dear Luo, the bad news I want to tell you is that their memories are very good, and their memories seem to be shared within the clan, and when remembered by any one of the clans, the ghost leeches of the entire wilderness will remember you."

Steven's next words made Luo frown.

"The feeling of being so patient, almost everywhere in the wilderness, and the burning desire to bite you or put on an electric power once is creepy just to think about! And, unfortunately, my partner, they seem to have their thoughts on you. ”

Luo looked at the lump on the front of the leech's body that gave him a sense of crisis, and finally began to try to awaken his instincts.
