Dean looked at Holland and saw that his body was covered with sticky yellow liquid. It was disgusting. It seemed to be the digestive fluid from the body of the quartz monster. He said: "You didn't die?" Dean had used his x-ray vision before. Unfortunately, he couldn't penetrate the body of the quartz monster. But he didn't see any reaction from Holland's heat source. He thought that something really happened to him.
"Your luck is good. The battle has just ended and you have come." Monica glanced at Holiday, not surprised that he was still alive, and said with a slight sarcasm.
Holland smiled: "I was almost digested. Fortunately, you killed that thing in time. The three of you are my benefactors. This seems to be a rotten ghost. Is it dead?"
"It just died." Barkley replied. He was in no mood to pay attention to him.
Dean saw that Monica and Barkley weren't surprised that Holland survived. It seemed that he had underestimated the shamelessness of the abyss. Now it seemed that Holland had deliberately let the quartz monster eat him. Even if he didn't kill the quartz monster, he estimated that he wouldn't have an accident.
Instead, he could take the opportunity to hide inside the body of the quartz monster and watch how they fight. After all, they lost one person. The pressure on the remaining three would be greater. Naturally, they couldn't hide their strength.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Barkley. As a wall lord, he was able to suppress Monica and Holland. Barkley's ability should be a bit stronger than them. But he couldn't see how powerful he was from the previous performance.
In this way, it was he and Monica who had been exposed more in this battle. However, Barker and Horani might have already known what Monica had exposed, so there was no need to hide it. From the beginning to the end, he was the one who had suffered the most.
"Let's take a break and leave as soon as possible. The quartz monster is dead. There is no master in this territory. Most of the monsters will invade. It's not good to stay here for a long time." Barker bandaged the wound on his chest, patted his butt, stood up, and said to Horainy, "Let your people count the losses. Many people died earlier, and we are going to face the Arctic Frost Dragon next. We can't afford any more losses!" At the end of his sentence, there was a hint of meaning in his words.
However, Horani did not seem to understand. He nodded and said, "It's time to go. You guys rest first. I'll open the way."
Dean was not in the mood to wrangle, so he sat down to rest.
A moment later, Horaney reorganized the members of the hunting team and did a headcount. In just a few minutes, the Rotten Mud Ghost had killed four Dominators, nine Demon Generals, and more than 70 pioneers. Now, there were only about 360 people left.
After reorganizing the hunting group, Horani led his men to open the way.
The area of the magic pit was very large, much larger than the other areas outside. According to Horani, it was about the size of four giant walls. It could easily accommodate hundreds of millions of people.
Dean associated this concept with a sunken island country. He knew the scope of the devil's pit. Although the island country had a population of more than 100 million people but the land area was very large. In fact it could accommodate more people. The devil's pit was about half the size of the island country. They were still at the edge of the devil's pit. The ice lake was close to the central area. It was a long way.
After half a day of travel, they encountered some Dominator level monsters. Horani took the initiative to lead the team to kill them. There were not many warriors of the hunting group. After leaving the territory of the Quartz monster, they encountered two Abyss level monsters. However, Monica sensed them in advance and avoided them.
The sky was getting dark. Everyone was resting in a canyon. The whistling wind was like a monster's grin. It made people feel uneasy.
In this nervous mood, everyone was holding their weapons and sleeping. They would wake up at any time. Holland and Monica were responsible for the night watch. Originally Holland wanted to be polite, but he didn't expect Dean and Barkley to be polite. They immediately agreed. But he also knew that they were angry at him for avoiding the fight during the day, so he didn't care about anything.
Moreover, even if he was asked to sleep, he didn't dare to sleep. From the battle with the Quartz monster during the day, he guessed that Dean's magic mark should be a monster that was very good at fighting. It was not good at perception. It would be better to let a ruler guard the night instead of Dean.
The night outside the giant wall was always long. The sound of monsters howling could be heard from time to time. Many of the more ferocious monsters liked to appear at night and hunt other monsters.
The difficulty of survival was not only reflected in Dean and the other hunters. For other weaker monsters, the night was also a disaster. Most of the monsters returned to their nests at dusk. No matter how far away they were from their nests, they would rush back.
The night passed quickly.
Along the way, a few Pioneers and a Dominator Monsters found the canyon, but before they could attack, they were quietly killed by Horani and Monica, who were on night watch, without causing much of a commotion.
When the dawn came, the dark world seemed to glow with hope again. After a night of hiding and shivering monsters, the monsters left their nests to look for their prey. Dean and the others also ate dry food, replenished water, and set off again.
Under the leadership of Horani, everyone moved toward the ice lake in the depths of the Devil's Pit.
With Monica, a master of perception, they avoided a lot of risks along the way. Nevertheless, they still encountered a lot of Pioneer level monsters in broad daylight. As for the weaker monsters, they would encounter them from time to time, but they were killed by the warriors of the hunting group.
On the way, Dean borrowed a map from Horani and looked at it. When Horani pointed out their location on the map and the ice lake, Dean knew that they were still a long way from the ice lake. It would take at least two or three days.
Marching for two or three days in the Devil's Pit was no less than suicide.
Dean looked around at the warriors who were sitting on the ground to rest and massage their shoulders. There was a bit of pity in his heart. There weren't many people here who could go back alive. However, they still had hope. They thought that as long as there were several Abyss warriors, nothing would happen to them. Even if something happened, they would be the lucky ones to survive.
But he knew that when they reached the ice lake, they would be the first batch of cannon fodder to rush to the front. They would wear down the power of the ice dragon and reduce the possibility of danger. Even if everyone was sacrificed, they wouldn't care. Because after getting the ice worm, Baker and the others would return to the giant wall at the fastest speed. They wouldn't stay in the Devil's Pit for a long time. After all, even the Abyss could die here.
Regrettably, only he, who had reached the Abyss, could understand this. Others might have guessed it, but they could only sadly accept their fate, or humble themselves with a trace of hope, begging for mercy.
But the strong never show mercy.
…
Two days passed.
Dean and Honeyley led the remaining 300 warriors of the hunting group to the ice forest outside the ice lake. In the past two days, they encountered three abyssal monsters. Although Monica and several other dominators and generals with strong perception were exploring the way, they still couldn't find the three abyssal monsters with strong lurking ability.
The battle was inevitable.
Fortunately, the abyssal monster was alone this time. Under the siege of several people, they spent a lot of effort to solve it.
Dean was relatively low-key in the following battles. At the same time, he took the opportunity to observe the magic marks of Honeyley and the other two. He even deliberately exposed flaws in the battle to give the abyssal monsters the opportunity to attack.
In his observation, Honeyley was good at using poison. At the same time, he had a strong perception ability. He could release poison from his mouth and the needles in his wings. The venom was extremely corrosive and toxic. It could easily corrode metal and rocks. One of the abyssal monsters was poisoned by Honeyley. Its body quickly decayed and its flesh peeled off. The scene was extremely cruel.
In addition to hardening things into snow-white powder, Monica's magic marks could also bewitch the enemy and make them absent-minded. Dean deliberately made a mistake. He forced Monica to use this trick when the abyssal monster drilled out of the encirclement. Although it only stunned the abyssal monster for a moment, Dean still saw it. This made him pay special attention. This kind of ability was the most difficult to deal with.
Dean didn't see much of Baker's ability. He only knew that Baker's bones healed quickly. This also convinced him that Baker deliberately injured himself in the previous battle. Moreover, he pretended to bandage his wounds. It was completely deceiving him.
As Dean analyzed the abilities of the three in his mind, the three also set an impression of Dean's ability. Strong attack, sharp!
No matter how strong the defense of the abyssal monster was, it was as fragile as a piece of paper under Dean's sharp blade. They tried their best to barely cause damage, but Dean's sharp blade could cut through them. This made the three quite afraid. Although they had their own abilities, and Dean may not be their opponent in a sneak attack, but in a head-on confrontation, Dean's ability was the most terrible. They couldn't compete with him at all. Even their weapons would be cut off. If Dean's fighting skills were high, coupled with this ability, he was simply a God of Death!
However, the three were glad that Dean's ability seemed to be relatively extreme. In addition to the sharp attack, he didn't show any other ability. Even his perception was very weak.
While they were getting to know each other, they arrived at the snowy forest outside the frozen lake. It was May, and summer had just arrived, but it was still extremely cold here. The branches of the forest were covered in ice shards.
Dean was surprised as he saw the snowy weather. This kind of thing was completely unscientific. It was not the North Pole where it was freezing in the summer. The climate outside the snow forest was relatively hot, but inside the forest it was like entering another world. The reason why the North Pole was frozen all year round was because it was far from the sun, but here it was not the case.
"Be careful. The dragon may not always stay in the ice lake. It may come to this forest to look for food." Horani reminded the hunting group.
Monica looked at the snowy forest curiously and said, "Is the influence of the Arctic Frost Dragon so big that even this place is frozen?"
"This dragon has lived here for a long time. It is said that it has lived here for forty or fifty years." Barkel knew more. He said in a low voice, "Because of it, the surrounding monsters have all been infected with a similar ice constitution. These monsters live in this forest, which is why the temperature here is so low. Be careful."
Monica suddenly understood.
Dean was surprised. Had lived here for forty or fifty years? It was almost impossible to dominate a territory outside the giant wall for forty or fifty years. Not to mention this was the abyss. The ultra-high radiation in the abyss was constantly accelerating the mutation of the monsters. Every day there would be a new overlord being born. The resources were limited. The new overlords would compete with the old overlords for territory. The loser would be swallowed. This was the law of survival outside the giant wall. How strong was this Arctic dragon to be able to guard this place for forty or fifty years?
