Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 171 Raid

The snow-covered ground undulated like waves, rising and falling in varying heights.

The thick snow piled up on top was tossed about and scattered haphazardly to the side, unexpectedly covering the panicked group of people.

Guan Xun frowned, and staggered several times before regaining his balance.

There seems to be something trying to rise from below...

With a sudden thought, the wings on her back unfurled with a whoosh, and she soared into the sky.

The falling snowflakes were burned away by the dark flames in mid-air, evaporating without a trace before they even hit the ground.

Instantly, a large area below could be clearly seen.

The disturbance was limited to a small area, and although there was some turbulence in the surrounding areas, the impact was minimal.

What the hell is that messing around underground?

After a moment's thought, Guan Xun realized that Chi Rong had also mentioned that there were quite a few monsters in this area.

Thinking of Chi Rong, she sighed. She couldn't sense any movement. After leaving here, she would have to go to Crescent Island again to check on the situation.

Hopefully, the island won't be destroyed and everyone will be wiped out. And that guy Chi Rong, I wonder if he can outsmart Ling Qi and escape...

She shook her head slightly, collected her thoughts, and quickly looked around. She saw several people below scrambling out of the snowdrift and fleeing in panic in all directions, soon disappearing from sight.

As soon as they escaped, the crumbling ground suddenly sank deep, cracking open a huge fissure from which the snow on both sides fell.

Luckily, those people ran fast, otherwise they would have all perished.

Guan Xun stared intently, then tilted his ear slightly. A muffled sound of wind breaking through the crack kept coming up, and then several dark tentacles suddenly darted out from it.

They spread out to both sides, pattering on the snow, their countless tiny suckers opening and closing and wriggling, clinging tightly to the ground.

Clearly, they are leveraging external resources.

"Oh!"

The earth shattered with a loud bang, and a large hole was punched open from the crack. With a whoosh, a huge black shadow suddenly leaped out!

The dark figure shot upwards, leaping to the same height as Guan Xun.

As the shadows fell, a fishy, ​​pungent smell instantly assaulted the senses. Guan Xun retreated rapidly, instinctively covering his mouth and nose with his hand.

This is clearly the scent of a sea monster. How could it be here?

Could it be that beneath this snowy region lies the deep sea?

She stopped abruptly, and only then could she see the shape of the dark figure clearly.

With a giant round head and dozens of tentacles covered with dense suckers on its body, this is... a level 45 Phantom Poison Squid.

This level of demonic beast already possesses the ability to transform into human form and speak.

However, the one in front of me could only sway its head from side to side blankly, and no matter how its dark eyes turned, no other colors could be seen.

It seemed to have no consciousness whatsoever.

"The snowy region... truly a place that erodes the consciousness of living beings." Guan Xun clicked his tongue a few times and murmured softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Phantom Squid's eyes widened, locking onto the bright colors on her body.

As it plummeted, two thick, long tentacles lashed out, attempting to pull her down with them.

Guan Xun shifted her body to the side, and the tentacles darted past her, finding nothing to entangle with, before bouncing back in an instant.

With a loud thud, it struck the phantom venom squid hard, causing it to gurgle in pain.

The force of the impact accelerated its descent, and with a tremor in the ground, it crashed directly onto it, splashing out a small amount of black, viscous liquid from beneath its body.

It stands out conspicuously against the white snow.

Immediately, it stared intently at the person high in the sky, wriggling its body as if possessed, trying to leap up again.

No matter how hard I tried, it was to no avail.

Born as a sea monster, it can float in the seawater but can only crawl on land.

Guan Xun couldn't help but laugh at the sight of his comical appearance.

She flapped her wings and circled above it, giving the Phantom Squid a cursory look.

Although it was unconscious, the beast core was still there, and she was genuinely curious about how it had managed to get onto land.

Just as his thoughts were flashing, a strong gust of wind suddenly attacked from below, preventing him from jumping. The Phantom Poison Squid kept thrashing its tentacles upwards!

The other party's constant circling behavior had undoubtedly angered it. It twisted its head, its black eyes following closely behind, and its waving tentacles connected one after another.

Guan Xun swayed his body, easily dodging its attacks. After a few exchanges, his eyes turned indifferent, and he decided not to cause any more trouble.

Dark flames surged from his palm, and he casually flicked it downwards.

The flames flickered and instantly ignited the entire body of the Phantom Squid, causing it to scream in agony.

Even so, it still refused to give up its attack, and until the moment before its huge body was completely burned, its tentacles covered in dark flames kept swinging into the air.

It was as if... they had been given an order to fight back against anyone who dared to invade the snowy region, even at the cost of their lives.

"Ah! It hurts!"

"What happened! No..."

Just as the phantom venom squid's body was completely burned away, the burly man's terrified screams shook the eardrums.

Guan Xun was slightly taken aback.

Huh? Did he suddenly regain his senses?

Enveloped in dark flames, a tall, blurry figure struggled incessantly.

The soul of the Phantom Venom Squid?

She frowned and immediately waved her hand to put out the fire, but she was still a step too late.

The body and soul are one, so they should have burned together with the body. The fact that the consciousness was restored halfway through the process is more like the soul being sealed. When the body was burned, the seal lost its vessel, and the consciousness was able to be restored.

With a flick of her fingers, Guan Xun drew the beast core suspended in the dark flames below into her hand.

Feeling the surging energy fluctuations in her palm, her eyes flickered slightly, as if she remembered something.

Chi Rong had told her before that its divine soul had been sealed by the Imperial Tutor in this place, and during that time it could not perceive the state of its physical body at all.

Guan Xun lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the spot where the venomous squid had been, now only a charred black expanse remained.

Based on what I have seen and heard, all the creatures in the snowy region that have lost their minds are probably the work of the Imperial Tutor.

Tsk, I used to reprimand her for killing too much, but this method isn't exactly merciful either. It would have been better to just take her life directly, instead of torturing her.

hypocritical.

However, once you cross this place, you can reach the mainland. So, the snowy region is also his territory.

With a smile playing on his lips, Guan Xun tossed the beast core in his hand lightly: "Since he's dead, I'll reluctantly take over for him. Consider it a return gift of the gold and silver treasures that were given to him as a burial offering."

"First, let's see where the snow lotus is..."

Having said that, she gripped the beast core tightly, and the dark flames around her instantly dispersed into countless small fireballs, which continuously smashed down in all directions as she commanded.

Dark flames landed, and ice and snow evaporated.

The blizzard continued, but it stubbornly refused to fall to the ground, instead being scorched and dispersed by the high temperatures.

The surrounding area, stretching for miles, was instantly transformed into a scorching sea of ​​fire...
