The battle started quickly, but it ended even faster …
Against a group of primitive giants who lacked high-grade equipment and only had powerful physical strength and the power of ice, the few invaders present were quite experienced.
Crimson Flame Storm …
Death Ripple …
Group Petrification Ray …
The earth trembled …
Psionic energy overflowed …
After unleashing a barrage of Berserk Skills, the dozen or so Frost Giants surrounding Shi Feng collapsed, utterly defeated. The weaker ones had their external force fields dissipate, their bodies entangled by strange red, white, and gray energies. They howled in pain and fell to the ground.
Only three of the strongest Frost Giants managed to resist this round of attacks. They roared as cold winds swirled around them. They raised their hands and threw thick icicles at Grim and the others.
These icicles were at least a meter in diameter, and contained an absolute chill that could turn anything into ash. Forget ordinary creatures, even the few Grade 4 existences present would find it difficult to escape once they were enveloped by this chill.
The reason why the Ancient Frost Giants were so strong was because they had a deep understanding of absolute chill.
Magi called it the power of laws, while the giants who were born from the will of the world called it the source.
No matter what they called it, these fellows who had researched and mastered a certain power to the extreme were not to be trifled with.
However, their success was due to the rules, and their failure was also due to the rules!
The Ancient Frost Giants were born from the will of the world, and their strength was unparalleled. The power of extreme chill that the source controlled was enough to annihilate anyone who went against them. That was why they had made a name for themselves in ancient times, and were worshipped by countless mortals.
However, once the will of the world changed, and the Titans rose to power, the other branches of the giants began to decline.
Once the Frost Giant race declined, they were besieged by many new races.
The bloodline of the Ancient Frost Giants was thus severed. Only some remnants of the bloodline remained in some remote or lowly places. These descendants of the Frost Giants could not recreate the terrifying might of the Ancient Frost Giants. Either their physical bodies were greatly flawed, or their control over the power of ice was not strong enough …
In short, they had the looks of a Grade 4 creature, but their true strength was far from the source of their bloodline!
A round of wild attacks killed off most of the ice giants, leaving the Sand King to deal with the remaining three strongest fighters.
Sand King had the strange ability to travel underground.
With a Burrow, he disappeared on the spot, evading the Ice Giant's sudden counterattack.
When he reappeared, the Sand King was already at the feet of the three ice giants.
As the ground trembled, the ice cap cracked, and the Sand King's huge and tough body emerged from the ground, pushing the three ice giants into the sky. Amidst their panic, the Sand King extended his two giant pincers and clamped the two Tier 3 Advanced-stage Frost Giants into two halves.
Then, it knocked down the Type 4 Ice Giant, its stinger stabbing into the Ice Giant's chest, injecting a steady stream of terrifying venom.
As expected of a Tier 4 creature, the leader of the Frost Giants did not die immediately even in such a state. Instead, it roared and raised its arms, grabbing tightly onto the Sand King's pincers. It opened its mouth to the limit, ready to spit out the most powerful force of ice in its body.
A terrifying chill gathered at the Frost Giant's throat. Its color was faint, so white that it was almost transparent, but the Law of Extreme Frost within it made all the powerhouses present frown.
Although the Frost Giant's bloodline was on the wane, once this terrifying attack, which was condensed from all its blood essence, was unleashed, even a Tier 4 powerhouse would find it hard to endure!
The Sand King immediately began to struggle frantically.
Its two giant pincers and the Frost Giant fought wildly, shattering the bones in the Frost Giant's upper limbs. The poisonous stinger that had been stabbed into the Frost Giant's chest stirred wildly, turning it into a bloody mess.
Unfortunately, the Frost Giant's violent strength before its death was not that easy to shake off. The Frost Giant was clearly prepared to fight to the death. No matter how heavily injured its body was, it would rather die than let go.
If this had been a normal combat team, in order to protect the Sand King as a meat shield, everyone might have thought of a way to save the Frost Giant. However, the team before them was a temporary team made up purely of evildoers and wanderers. No one was willing to put themselves in danger to save a teammate.
But there were always exceptions to the rule!
Just as the Frost Giant was about to spit out the power of extreme frost in its mouth, a tall, pitch-black figure that shone with a strange metallic luster appeared from the shadows behind the Frost Giant. The extremely sharp metal blade in its hand stabbed into the back of the Frost Giant's head. Dark energy surged in, instantly wiping out the Frost Giant's brain and consciousness.
The extremely condensed power of extreme frost finally went out of control!
Under the control of the ice giant chieftain's will, the power of extreme cold that was supposed to be sprayed onto the Sand King's body suddenly exploded. It turned into a ring of ice that spread out abruptly, rippling in all directions.
Wherever the power of extreme frost reached, the world lost its color. Everything lost its original color and was completely sealed in a layer of beautiful ice crystals that were harder than steel.
A moment later, the ice crystals exploded, and the power of extreme frost flowed in all directions, turning everything into white shards of ice that could not be shredded any more. Under such circumstances, no life form could survive.
However, there were always exceptions to everything!
Amidst the exploding white shards of ice, two equally tall and mighty figures broke free of the ice crystals. Withstanding the terrifying power of extreme frost, they charged out of the area covered by the ring of ice.
The Sand King's originally pale golden body was now covered in white ice crystals. As it broke free, it shook its body violently, shaking off large clumps of ice shards.
After the white was gone, the Sand King appeared unscathed, as if it had not suffered any damage.
However, everyone present could clearly sense that the Sand King's almost violent earthen yellow origin energy had also been tainted with a hint of white.
It had fallen for the trick after all!
However, everyone's gaze only lingered on the Sand King for a moment before landing on the tall metal puppet behind it.
A Grade 4 puppet …
Everyone's gazes turned cold.
Off to the side, Grimm smiled faintly. "I'm a spellcaster. I'm not good at close combat. It's logical and reasonable for me to bring a metal puppet with me!"
With that, Grimm took a blood-red crystal and a drop of blood marrow from the Shadow Fiend. He weighed them in his hand and said with a chuckle, "Sand King, I've done you such a great favor. You don't mind if I harvest some materials, do you?"
The Sand King swayed its huge body and glanced at Grimm with its green compound eyes. "I don't mind, I don't mind at all … Thank you for helping me out just now. Otherwise, I'd have suffered a great loss!"
The Sand King moved its huge body and shook off the thick ice crystals on its metal shell. Then, its body turned into a black shadow and slowly merged with Grimm's back.
However, it had merged without any flaws previously. Even the powerhouses did not notice its existence. Now, however, the lingering power of extreme frost had added a strange energy to the Shadow Fiend's dark energy. It was no longer as untraceable as before.
The teammates could not help but force a smile, but they immediately raised their guard.
The spellcasters, in particular, felt their hearts tremble. Even their movements became unnatural.
What were spellcasters most afraid of? Of course, it was the elusive assassins!
Now that Grimm had brought along a Shadow Fiend with such a powerful stealth ability, everyone present could not help but feel their hair stand on end.
Fortunately, the Shadow Fiend was tainted with a trace of extreme frost energy, allowing them to track its position. Otherwise, they would not have dared to let a Grade 4 Shadow Fiend run around them.
After taking down all the Frost Giants, the team members could not help but stop and start harvesting the necessary materials. They would be letting down the Frost Giants' illustrious reputation if they did not take the opportunity to collect some of these high-grade bloodline materials.
Everyone moved.
Soon, the corpses of the Frost Giants were divided up.
In the eyes of others, the Frost Giants might be some kind of powerful intelligent lifeform, but in the eyes of this group, they were just some freely moving materials and resources!
The group crossed the territory of the Frost Giants, passed through dozens of kilometers of ice, and finally arrived at the foot of the towering ice cliff.
Looking at the snow-capped peak that was covered in a thick layer of crystal clear ice, everyone looked at each other and rose into the air one after another. They stuck close to the ice wall and slowly flew upwards.
The closer they got to the peak, the more they could feel the deathly stillness and coldness that filled the entire space. Here, they could no longer feel any signs of life. The only thing they could feel was the throbbing in the depths of their hearts.
The Ancient Winter Box … was undoubtedly here!
However, its aura was concealed by another powerful soul undulation.
Everyone cautiously penetrated through the thick layer of clouds that floated halfway up the mountain. After flying for a full hour, they finally landed on the peak of the ice mountain.
This was a huge platform that had a circumference of several dozen kilometers. At the very center, a tall and majestic divine hall of ice stood silently.
The entire temple did not use a single bit of earth or wood. Instead, it was made of pure, sparkling, and translucent ice rocks. Inside the hall, there were hundreds of exquisitely carved ice pillars decorated with mysterious patterns that supported the spacious space.
On a tall ice platform at the back of the hall, a strange giant dragon was lying on it. Sensing the appearance of an unfamiliar aura, it lazily lifted its head and sized up the crowd.
Frost Dragon …
