The Snow Helminth was a parasitic monster with a combat strength ranging from immortal-level rank-1 to rank-3.
They were very small, and their normal form was a worm the size of an ant. However, they could disguise themselves as snowflakes and enter the body of various creatures through their pores. The isolation of Life Power was not a big problem for them. As long as the body was not covered by relics, they would be able to penetrate it easily.
Such a monster would not damage the body of a creature directly. After they were parasitic, they would absorb the heat in the host's body, causing the host to lose its body temperature quickly.
Such a parasitic monster was indeed fatal to creatures below immortal-level. However, to creatures above immortal-level, it would only be a threat if there were a sufficient number of parasitic monsters.
The reason why the Divine Alliance members were defeated was that there were too many Snow Helminths under the snow.
Perhaps one or two of them would not affect immortal-level rank-7 to rank-9, but even an immortal-level rank-9 would not be able to take it if there were tens or hundreds of them.
Moreover, the parasitic monster was a snow elemental creature. Other than extreme heat and special flames, it could not be killed.
Lin Huang had expected the Divine Alliance's reaction. He had heard from Bloody that the density of the Snow Helminths under the snow was extremely high.
Seeing Gu Li and the Divine Alliance members running out of the cave, Lin Huang and the rest were not happy.
Out of the 30 Divine Alliance members who went down, only 28 of them managed to make it out alive. Two of them did not make it back and they could not be saved.
They had only been in the ruins for more than half an hour and someone had died right in front of their eyes. The ruins were extremely dangerous.
Gu Li glared at Lin Huang as soon as he arrived. He did not say anything and immediately asked a few members with fire attribute Life Power to help those who suffered from frostbite to get rid of the Snow Helminths.
With Gu Li and the rest as an example, the rest of the organizations gave up on the idea of digging underground. They were secretly glad that it was not their team that went down earlier. Otherwise, there would be more casualties.
"Why don't we take a detour? Even if it takes up more time, it's better than wasting our time here." Even Shen Tao had the intention to leave. He turned around and said to Lin Huang and the rest.
Most of them nodded in agreement.
Lin Huang was the only one who remained silent.
"Lin Xie, why don't you just say what you think?" Shen Tao noticed that Lin Huang didn't agree to take a detour.
"Let's wait a little longer." Lin Huang's words surprised many people.
"Wait for what?" Shen Tao felt that Lin Huang should have some intention in saying this, so he quickly asked.
"I'm waiting for a hunt." Lin Huang's gaze swept across the mountains in the distance.
"Hunt?" Shen Tao felt even more confused.
"The Glacial Phoenix hunts the Yeti Maniac at noon every day. It usually takes place between 11 am and 1 pm. Different tribes have different hunting times." Lin Huang then revealed his plan. "We can take advantage of this hunting period to pass through the Yeti Maniac's territory. The Ice Phoenix Sparrow is hunting the Yeti Maniac. As long as we don't attack them, they won't be interested in us. As the Yeti Maniac was being hunted, it didn't have the energy to care about us. Even if there are Yeti Maniacs that attack us, they will only be in the minority. "
"But it's already 12: 30 pm now. Isn't it more likely that the Glacial Phoenix has already hunted?" Shen Tao thought that the plan was feasible, but it was based on the premise that the Glacial Phoenix had not hunted yet.
"Yes, that's why we have to wait. We'll know if we can carry out the plan in half an hour at most. If they haven't started hunting by then, we'll have to take a detour. "Although Lin Huang said that, he knew that the Glacial Phoenix had not started hunting yet.
If they had already hunted, the Yeti Maniac's territory should be in a state of restoration after the war. However, according to Bloody's observation, the Yeti Maniac was still in a state of battle. It was obvious that the war had not started yet.
"What do you guys think? Should we wait for another half an hour or should we leave now?" Shen Tao turned around and asked for the rest's opinion.
"Let's wait for another half an hour. We don't know how long it'll take to take a detour."
"I'm worried that we'll encounter more difficult monsters if we take a detour. It doesn't matter if we wait for another half an hour or so."
"I think Lin Xie's plan is quite feasible and the risk is not high."
Soon, everyone came to a consensus and agreed to wait for another half an hour.
What Lin Huang said to the Heaven Alliance was not kept a secret from the rest of the organizations. The more people who joined the plan, the more afraid the Yeti Maniac would be and the safer everyone would be.
If he invited others to join him, everyone would think that he was up to something. Therefore, Lin Huang decided to announce his plan.
Those who were willing to join him were welcome. Lin Huang did not want to force those who were not.
The rest of the organizations were secretly discussing the feasibility of Lin Huang's plan.
Among them, the two Imperial Censors were the ones who were asked the most.
"Is the hunting time that Lin Xie mentioned true?"
"Won't we be attacked by the Yeti Maniac if we enter the Yeti Maniac's territory during the chaos?"
In the end, everyone confirmed that Lin Xie's plan was highly feasible.
Therefore, apart from the Divine Alliance, the leaders of the other three organizations approached Shen Tao and Lin Huang to join the operation.
Naturally, Lin Huang and Shen Tao agreed readily.
On the Divine Alliance's side, Gu Li was reluctant to bow down to the Heaven Alliance. However, he did not want to make a detour, so he looked conflicted.
After about ten minutes, all the Snow Worms in the bodies of the Divine Alliance members were finally cleared. Everyone regained their combat power. Gu Li did not approach Shen Tao and Lin Huang to discuss joining the operation, but he did not leave with his team either.
"This guy is probably shameless enough to follow us and pick up the loot," Shen Tao said to Lin Huang through telepathy.
"Forget it. If they want to follow us, let them." After all, they had just tricked them and caused them to lose two people. Both parties did not have a grudge against each other, so there were some things that Lin Huang could not be bothered to argue about.
At around 12: 50 pm, the deadline of one o 'clock was approaching. Everyone was a little disheartened. Even Gu Li and the others had mocking expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, a crisp chirping sound came from a mountain covered in ice and snow in the distance. Then, a flock of white birds floated out of the mountain like a continuous cloud and flew toward the Yeti Maniac's territory. Lin Huang and the others could even hear the flapping of the birds' wings from afar.
"The Glacial Phoenix has really started hunting!" Shen Tao did not expect that Lin Huang would be right this time.
