Chapter Fifty-Six: Sweeping

Li Mochen's destination was in a mine thirty-five miles south of Ghost City. Hundreds of years ago, it was originally a vein of phlite, but as the mineral deposits inside were gradually depleted, it was gradually abandoned.

However, there are still some remnants of snow stone in it, which has become a gathering place for ice elementals and some dark creatures.

- According to common sense, this should have been a hunting ground for magical professionals. However, due to the ice creatures in the cave, in the special environment surrounded by snow crystall, the power of innate magic can be greatly increased, resulting in danger and harvest that are not proportional to the gain, and over time, this place has been forgotten by the magic professions of Ghost City. Only the government garrison will come and clean it regularly every once in a while to prevent these dangerous creatures in the mine from spreading to the outer plains.

Li Mochen had already learned in advance that the most recent 'clean-up' operation was seven years ago, and it only ended at the fourth layer, and did not continue to go deeper.

The commander in charge of the command at the time believed that their clearance would be enough to ensure the safety of the mine perimeter for 20 years. The remnants of the snow crystal stone inside are not enough to raise higher-level dark creatures, or elemental generals.

However, in the recent map update released by the Tucci mapping company, it is clear that a 'cold elemental ruler' is marked above the mine.

Although there is a small question mark behind this noun, which means that it is uncertain, Li Mochen thinks that it is still necessary for him to come and take a look.

When Li Mochen approached the mine, which was covered in ice and full of desolation, he felt that in the darkness, a group of creatures were waking up one after another, and their eyes were turned to him.

But the sword Tao Ran in the state of Tianxin naturally doesn't care about these humble existences. He just coldly put the 'divine will' mask on his face, and then calmly walked into the mine.

Up to the first three floors, nothing unusual has occurred. But when Li Mochen stepped into the cold fourth layer, the stone wall next to him collapsed, and a full five ice wolves flew out from both sides, their figures were extremely fast, and a violent wind was brought in mid-air.

It was only in the next moment that their heads separated from their bodies, and after their bodies hit the ground, they even ran for a few seconds before they fell to the ground.

Li Mochen's person was like a phantom, flashing ten meters away, and the clothes on his body were not even stained with a single spot of blood.

At this time, around him, there were several cold blade lights shining. The three fourth-level ice elements that broke out of the walls on both sides were directly 'frozen' in place. It wasn't until Li Mochen left that these ice elements collapsed and disintegrated one after another. It's just that the elemental core on their chests has been smashed to pieces!

And Li Mochen's next journey is completely like the poem that circulates in this world, 'Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles without leaving'.

All dangers were nippled in the bud, and all living beings who approached him ten meters later were given death in the light of light.

Until Li Mochen entered the fifth layer, his cadence did not change at all. The only difference was that when he arrived, he had begun to use the alloy warhammer, so that the empty, desolate and lonely mine cavern was filled with roaring gunfire from time to time.

The dark creatures and ice elementals here are obviously stronger than the outer level. Even the ninth-level Cold Spider and Ice General also appeared occasionally.

These existences are no longer easy to solve with the training sword in Li Mochen's hands.

This is not a danger to him, that is, from the previous one sword, to five swords, seven swords. But he has no patience in the state of 'Heavenly Heart', and there is no need to waste his physical strength on a humble thing that can be solved with a bullet.

The fifth layer is also the last layer of this mine, Li Mochen did not pass through as quickly as the previous layers, but searched carefully in this layer like a carpet.

About twenty minutes later, Li Mochen had searched this level for nearly half of the time, and when he stepped into an extremely wide, palace-like space, his pupils condensed slightly. Then he withdrew without hesitation, and in the next moment, the place where he originally stood was already shrouded in a large area of cold air, and the surrounding ice was also expanding and thickening to varying degrees. In mid-air, white frozen rays could be seen crisscrossing the cavern

Without his command, the Phantom Fire Dragon spontaneously flew out of his hood and applied the 'Blessing of Fire' to Li Mochen's firearm, while spitting dragon breath from his mouth.

- Even though it was only a flame breath that was not much bigger than the flame of a lighter, the high temperature contained in it forcibly dispersed part of the cold air that had gathered around it.

Li Mochen looked coldly ahead, the ice and snow creature that was striking the figure of a human woman in the air, and at the same time pulled the trigger ruthlessly.

The first bullet he fired was an intermediate-grade 'molten firebomb'.

This demonic rifle bullet was blocked by a huge ice shield, but the high temperature that climbed to thousands of degrees in an instant melted this mid-level ice shield in an instant.

At this time, Li Mochen's alloy war hammer also continuously spewed flames, and ten gunshots rang out in a row, shaking the surrounding ice, and there were faint signs of cracking.

And the successive primary 'molten fire bombs' all hit the target accurately, just like a hammer that was constantly smashed, forcibly shattering the 'shell' of this ice and snow creature!

This layer of ice magic 'Ice Demon Armor', which was at least level sixth, had already collapsed and disintegrated when Li Mochen fired the fifth shot. Each of his shots was the most vulnerable part of the 'Ice Demon Armor' structure.

Next came another mid-level 'Molten Fire Bomb', which melted the mid-level ice shield summoned by the Ice and Snow Creature again.

Then Li Mochen's sixth shot completely broke one of the opponent's arms, and the purpose of the seventh shot was the same, until the hands and feet of this ice and snow creature were all broken. Li Mochen suddenly abandoned his gun and sword, and dodged forward.

"Scutum glacies!"

With Li Mochen's spell, an ice shield immediately appeared in front of him, firmly blocking the several freezing rays blasted out by the ice and snow creatures.

And in the next moment, with a shining sword light, it blasted something like an ice sapphire out of the ice and snow creature's body. The latter's body lost all power and 'vitality' in an instant, and fell directly onto the ice below.

Li Mochen continued to slide, and the rapid void drawing of his right hand stimulated the sealing energy of the 'Ice Blood Stone Necklace' on his chest. As a result, this artifact gradually gave birth to a strong suction, pulling the ice sapphire that was flying in mid-air and showed no signs of falling.

The two sides were at a stalemate for about ten seconds, and the ice sapphire finally couldn't resist it. A large amount of cold aura mixed with three-colored light emanated from inside, and gradually seeped into the 'Bloodstone Necklace'.
