After the Ice Demon King made his move, howls rang out from the forest one after another. Ice Demons emerged from the forest and attacked Allen's assault squad under the leadership of a few saboteurs and throwers. Lucy made a prompt decision and ordered the squad to form a defensive formation, using Lin Shi's cover to open fire. The muzzle of the Fiery Steps/Spear spat out dazzling tongues of flame. The violent and blazing metal jets formed flaming whips, sweeping the surrounding trees and rocks into the air.
Ordinary Ice Demons were simply unable to withstand the fire of the Fiery Steps/Spear. All they could do was serve as cannon fodder. Lucy's Golden Rose specially greeted the mutants of the Ice Demons. She had already loaded the Blazing Flame Bomb in advance. Flames were the natural nemesis of the Ice Demon. The explosive and burning effects of the Blazing Flame Bomb caused even the physically strong Ice Demon like the saboteur to shrink back. As for the thrower, it was even more so.
Under the suppression of the commandos and Lucy's firepower, the Ice Demons were temporarily unable to attack. However, their numbers were endless. The commandos' ammunition was limited and could not last long.
Allen saw all of this and made up his mind to fight.
The Ice Demon King and Allen collided, unable to gain any advantage. Knowing that this seemingly weak youth in front of him possessed a powerful strength that did not match his figure, he immediately stopped fighting head-on. Its arms spread out, and Origin Energy patterns flashed on its body. The patterns flickered, as if they resonated with the surrounding environment, and the wind and snow intensified. A large amount of frozen air formed around the Ice Demon King. Within the frozen air, ice cones were constantly formed, floating around the Ice Demon King like missiles.
The Ice Demon King suddenly pushed his arms forward, and the icicles shot towards Allen and the members of the assault squad.
"Get down!"
Allen shouted, but did not dodge. The heavy saber spat out a fire dragon and slashed out head-on.
When the others heard Allen's warning, they all stuck to the ground, including Lucy. Many icicles flew over their heads and heavily smashed into Lin Shi. Some unlucky Ice Demons were affected by the attack, and the icicles penetrated their bodies, causing them to fall far away.
A blazing moon appeared between Allen and the Ice Demon King. The moon formed by the flames melted the incoming icicles, forming a large amount of water vapor. In the water vapor, a black shadow suddenly appeared. The Ice Demon King leaped to the top of Allen's head, cupped his fists, and smashed down. Allen leaned forward and slid forward like he was gliding on ice, brushing past the monster. The Ice Demon King's attack missed and smashed into the ground, causing a cluster of ice spikes to appear.
With a sweep of its hand, the icicles exploded, turning into thousands of sharp ice shards of different sizes that rained down on Feng Lin. Allen swung his heavy saber horizontally, and the fire dragon on the saber swept across, engulfing many of the ice shards into the raging flames and burning them clean. The Ice Demon King spat out two streams of cold air from its nostrils, stretched out its arms and hammered its chest. After a series of roars, it charged towards Allen.
"Let's decide the outcome in this strike!" Allen switched his saber to his left hand and held the heavy saber in reverse. Qianjun gripped the hilt of his saber tightly with his right hand and stretched it behind him.
Origin Energy rose, and strands of red light swam like snakes in the bright orange flames. Allen's ruby-like eyes were illuminated by the flames. He shouted softly and slashed out with his heavy saber. Qianjun slashed seven times at different angles in his hand. Every time he slashed out, the tip of the saber would spit out an orange light. After the seven sabers were slashed, the Ice Demon King was still charging forward, and rays of light flickered on his body.
Seven orange rays of light were scattered on the Ice Demon King's body. However, the Ice Demon King was still unaffected and still rushed over. Allen put away his saber and stood up straight, watching the Ice Demon King approach.
The Ice Demon King raised his fist and was about to strike when he suddenly discovered that his body was constantly slipping down. Even in his field of vision, Allen was split into two, staggered up and down, and in the middle was a huge darkness. It didn't understand what was going on, but it didn't know that it had already been sliced into eight pieces. When its head split open in the middle and fell to the ground, a sharp cry rang out in the air. Seven shockwaves spread out from different angles, shattering all the trees and rocks within a diameter of thirty meters!
This was the Flame Flash Seven Kills. He released seven flaming breaths in one breath, causing them to form a multi-angle, large-scale slash. Even a powerful high-grade dangerous species like the Ice Demon King could be easily killed.
Once the Ice Demon King died, the Ice Demon was no longer in the mood to fight. Especially Allen, who had killed the Ice Demon King, was undoubtedly a natural enemy in the eyes of these dangerous species. They quickly retreated, leaving behind corpses on the ground. In a few breaths of time, they had already disappeared into the forest.
The dagger picked out an irregular oval Origin Jade from the Ice Demon King's chest and sprayed it on the snow on the ground, forming a small puddle. Allen washed the Origin Jade in the snow and threw it to Lucy. "Can this thing be made into Frost Bullets?"
Lucy used her Origin Energy to stimulate the Origin Jade, and the Origin Jade immediately became cold, and the image of an Ice Demon hammering its chest and roaring vaguely appeared in the jade. She nodded cheerfully, "The quality of this Origin Jade is much higher than that of the Six Yang Snow Crystal. The power of the Frost Bullet made from it will be comparable to a Grade 3 bullet."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Allen smiled.
He stabbed the Devil's Praise into the Ice Demon King's chest, and the Origin Tool immediately sucked in the blood essence of the high-grade dangerous species that had yet to solidify, obtaining a portion of the blood essence. After doing all this, Allen picked a piece of dead wood and sat down. The soldiers beside him were dissecting the Ice Demon's corpse. After they finished collecting it, they could leave the Ice Demon Valley.
The valley was quiet in the afternoon, and the cries of some exotic beast echoed in the forest from time to time. The valley didn't seem to have changed, but Allen knew that the death of the Ice Demon King was like a stone thrown into a lake. Sooner or later, the chaotic ripples would spread to every corner of the valley. It could be foreseen that before the new Ice Demon King appeared, the dangerous species in the valley would have no time to pay attention to their neighbors.
When the new territory appeared, the forward base would have been built, and then the Rose Empress would fight. If the Ice Demon dared to have any ideas about it, it would discover that the Rose Empress was not as easy to talk to as it was. That was one of the elite legions of the Federation. Elite soldiers and valiant generals might be able to raze this valley to the ground. However, at that time, Allen would probably have already returned to Earth, so naturally, there would be nothing for him to do.
It was already evening when they returned to the camp.
"In other words, we don't have to let the Ice Demon harass us anymore. That's really good news."
Beside one of the campfires in the camp, Peter built a stone stove and placed a military pot on it. The pot was boiling broth, and the fragrance of meat was overflowing. He stirred the broth with a spoon and tasted it himself. He nodded and said, "It tastes just right. Please use it. This is the best stew made from the meat of the Ice Demon."
Allen scooped a spoonful of it in a bowl and tasted it. It was indeed delicious. He said in surprise, "So the lieutenant knows how to do this."
"The resources we have allocated are limited. Most of the time, we have to rely on ourselves to hunt to fill our stomachs. After a long time, we will naturally have some skills. " Peter chewed on a cigarette and handed a bowl to Lucy, "Have a bowl too, beautiful lady."
Lucy took it generously and took a sip. "It's really not bad."
Some of the soldiers beside him couldn't wait any longer and drooled, "Boss, it's our turn."
"These gluttonous fellows." Peter scolded with a smile, "Do it yourself. Do you want me to serve you?"
Peter shook his head as he watched the soldiers carry bowls of soup in a hurry. He stood up and left the campfire. Allen glanced at him, put down the bowl, and followed. Peter jumped onto a large rock and sat down. He flicked off some ash and said, "We have to thank you, Allen. If it wasn't for you, I don't know what kind of godforsaken place we'd be in. In the past, they used to laugh and be angry like this, but I know that they were just trying their best to survive. Because in their eyes … "
Peter pointed at his eyes with two fingers. "There's no light. Every year, there are softies who can't stand the feeling of being exiled and commit suicide. That feeling of being treated as air will kill people … "
Allen looked at the soldiers in the camp and coughed dryly, "Perhaps after this time, I can ask General Melinda to let you stay at the forward base."
"You're such a good person." Peter shook his head and said, "No need. Even General Melinda would find it difficult to interfere with the Border Rong Army's establishment of the spread of death. And this will bring trouble to you and General Melinda. To be able to be like this, even if it's only once, is enough for these guys to savor in the future. "
"Speaking of which, I'd like to take the liberty of asking you for a favor."
Allen looked at him. Peter took off a necklace from his neck. There was a nameplate engraved with his name on it. "I heard you're going back to Earth soon, right? At that time, can you please give this sign to my family? We probably won't have a chance to go back. "
"Lieutenant …" Allen suddenly didn't know what to say.
Peter laughed and patted Allen. "Don't be so sad. Although we are the Border Rong Army, we are still in the army. The Federation pays my family on time every month. I can't go back. But my family can live on. That's enough. It's just that I want to send it back. That way, I can be considered to be with them, right? "
Allen didn't say anything else and reached out to take Peter's necklace. "I'll send it back."
Peter suddenly threw away his cigarette, stood up straight, and saluted Allen solemnly, "Thank you!"
Then he told Allen his home address, and Allen silently memorized it. He put the necklace into his pocket. The nameplate, which was still warm, was filled with Peter's helplessness and yearning.
A week later, the trestle was finally opened to traffic. When Allen saw that the convoy had safely passed through the trestle, his heart finally relaxed. After successfully arriving at the other side of the Abyss of the Meteors, they had completed the first step in building an advance base. Allen didn't have to worry about the rest of the work. The engineer began to inspect the terrain near the old site of the Saber Demon Sentry in order to design the layout of the base according to the terrain.
Very quickly, the basic layout was decided. According to General Melinda's previous requirements, the base would include a large area near the trestle and even the old site of the sentry post. The units of the base would include defensive walls, squares, sentry towers, material warehouses, barracks, and a series of other facilities facing the Barren Lands. Although the construction standards of the facilities were greatly reduced to achieve the goal of putting them into use as soon as possible, according to the engineers' calculations. It would take at least three to five months to build this relatively crude base.
That meant that Allen would spend the rest of the year here.
