Chapter 727: The Ice God Wolf
Listening to the white-dress serpent demon's explanation, Ling Zhan finally gained a basic understanding of the Radiant Secret Realm.
"Senior, are we leaving the Snowfield now?"
The white-dress serpent demon asked softly.
The northern Snowfield was probably the least favored area by Professionals.
The environmental debuff was too severe, causing a significant reduction in many Professionals' overall strength.
Many believed that reductions in attribute values were the most crippling, but that wasn't entirely true.
For most Professionals, the environmental debuff reducing agility and the "three speeds" was the most frustrating.
Once the three speeds were reduced, attacks that should land wouldn't, and attacks that could usually be dodged would hit instead.
Like the assassin earlier—if the environment were normal, he absolutely could've avoided the serpent demon's devouring attack with ease.
He wouldn't have been taken out in one strike.
This was why so many didn't want to remain in the Snowfield.
Naturally, the white-dress serpent demon assumed that Ling Zhan also wanted to leave, so she asked if they should head elsewhere.
However…
To her shock…
Ling Zhan didn't nod. Instead, he asked, "Who are the strongest monsters in this northern Snowfield?"
Although confused, the white-dress serpent demon replied, "The strongest... should be the Ice Soul Bear King, at level 160. Next would be the level-156 Ice God Wolf. These two rule over the Snowfield. I can only rank third, guarding a small lake and avoiding conflict with them."
"They've essentially monopolized all the resources of the Snowfield and consolidated them under their control."
"Senior, you're not thinking of hunting them, are you?"
Faced with her guess, Ling Zhan nodded calmly and said, "You're right. I intend to hunt them."
"Lead the way."
The white-dress serpent demon quickly nodded and took the lead without hesitation.
As she mentioned earlier, there were indeed teleportation points scattered throughout the Radiant Secret Realm.
By approaching a teleportation point, an information panel would display details about the next location to be transported to.
Buzz!
After passing through four or five teleportation points, the white-dress serpent demon brought Ling Zhan to an icy valley.
The moment they stepped into the valley…
Howl!
A series of wolf howls rang out instantly.
It sounded as if signals were being sent.
Moments later, a handsome man in a snow-white robe appeared before the white-dress serpent demon and Ling Zhan.
At the same time…
Huge white wolves stood vigilantly throughout the valley. Their eyes burned with savagery as they stared at the intruders.
"Frost Python? Why aren't you guarding your little patch of land? What brings you here?"
The white-robed man asked warily.
Using the Eye of Identification, Ling Zhan confirmed that this white-robed man was none other than the Ice God Wolf.
"Well, Senior here says he's interested in the 'Supreme Ice Spirit Ginseng' you're guarding. So, we've come to visit," the white-dress serpent demon said nervously.
Her strength was leagues below the Ice God Wolf's.
Although she ranked third in the Snowfield, her power was far inferior to the Ice God Wolf's.
In a one-on-one fight, she would have no choice but to flee.
Now, coming to the Ice God Wolf's territory to openly request the precious resource it guarded felt tantamount to suicide.
Unsurprisingly…
As soon as she finished speaking…
Howl!
The surrounding wolves instantly erupted into howls and surrounded Ling Zhan and the serpent demon.
Their eyes gleamed with a sharp, bloodthirsty killing intent. With one command from the Ice God Wolf, they would pounce on the human and serpent demon without hesitation.
"Frost Python, I'll give you one more chance to explain!"
"Tell me again—what does this damned human want from me?"
The white-robed man barked, veins bulging with anger.
"Say it again? Sure, I'll say it again…"
"This Senior here wants your Supreme Ice Spirit Ginseng! You'd better hand it over and save yourself, or we'll skin your wolf hide!"
Following Ling Zhan's instructions, the white-dress serpent demon straightened her back and confidently relayed the demand.
"Courting death!!"
The Ice God Wolf exploded with rage.
"All of you, attack!!"
At his command, the bloodthirsty ice wolves lunged at Ling Zhan with murderous intent.
These wolves were no ordinary beasts.
Each one was above level 140!
Compared to the serpent demon's water monsters, these wolves were in an entirely different league.
Even the 150-level white-dress serpent demon had to remain cautious against these ferocious wolves.
Known for their relentless combat style, the wolves fought with no regard for their own lives.
They'd willingly take injuries just to inflict damage.
This brutal fighting style intimidated even the toughest opponents.
The Ice God Wolf ruled the Snowfield not only because the Ice Soul Bear King preferred solitude but also due to the Ice God Wolf's formidable strength and the unparalleled loyalty of its deadly wolf pack.
Now…
The white-dress serpent demon leapt into the air, avoiding direct confrontation with the wolves.
She'd received a transmission from Ling Zhan instructing her to stand aside and observe.
Hovering above, she anxiously watched Ling Zhan, who was now surrounded.
Hopefully, this Senior was as strong as he seemed!
Otherwise, she'd barely escape with her life.
The Ice God Wolf was no easy opponent.
At that moment, Ling Zhan finally moved.
Calmly, he waved his hand and said flatly, "If it's just a matter of summoning underlings, well, it so happens that I have some of my own."
As his words fell…
Buzz!
To the shock of the Ice God Wolf and the serpent demon, a series of summoning circles appeared around Ling Zhan.
Then…
Squeak, squeak, squeak…
Countless enormous black insects crawled out of the summoning circles!
What!?
Insects!?
Seeing this, both the Ice God Wolf and the white-dress serpent demon were utterly stunned!
The Ice God Wolf even let out a burst of laughter.
Seriously?
Your so-called underlings are just a bunch of oversized black bugs?
How are these supposed to compare to my wolf pack?
The serpent demon, initially tense, hesitated about whether to intervene.
But then she activated her Eye of Identification and examined the black insects.
Hiss!!
The next second, she gasped sharply.
