Chapter 932 The Frost Dragon King
Deep into the mountains!
The guys were really interested.

Although the Ten Elders are the game's developers, the world's terrain is so vast that it's almost like a small Earth. So, apart from the limited area near the main city which is artificially designed, the other remote and desolate areas are generated by the "geological evolution system" itself. Even the Ten Elders can't figure out the world in the distance.

Of course, the main reason is that the new version only has five main cities. Compared to the grand scale of the old version with hundreds of major cities, it is actually a rushed project that took ten years to complete, so there is no need to be so meticulous.

The terrain of Black Iron City is such that it is bordered by the sea to the east, relatively open to the west and south, but blocked by a continuous mountain range to the north, which may even extend to the Arctic Circle.

So it's good to take a look.

Upon entering the mountainous area, the mentor activated the "Dragon Transformation Technique," reverting to the dragon form of the Black Dragon Lord.

It must be said that its size... cannot be measured by the standards of a large aircraft; it is practically an aerial fortress. With a single flap of its wings, the dragon flew over several mountain peaks; its power and speed truly befit the title of Dragon Lord.

Then, on Sila's radar, all sorts of monsters, big and small, appeared, running and hiding in the valley in panic, including several ancient ones.

However, none of the mentors thought it was good enough, so they continued to move forward at high speed.

Even Sariel was excited: "Last time when we were developing the southern jungle mine, the mermaid and the fish-man god had to work so hard to deal with an ancient giant python. They don't even care about all these ancient beings here. The strength in our mentor's eyes is unimaginable."

Xila laughed, "Is it possible that the giant python was actually a top-tier ancient being? Only the weak are driven away, while the strong remain..."

Sariel laughed and said, "That's true, I need to have absolute confidence in my darling's abilities..."

As we spoke, we saw snow-capped mountains stretching into the distance on the horizon, and a howling wind carrying frost rushed towards us.

"We're really getting closer and closer to the Arctic," Shira exclaimed.

Raphael exclaimed, "So, the Arctic is the ultimate destination for the strong. From here, they can attack in any direction."

Suddenly, the dragon's body stiffened: "It seems..."

Sila got excited: "There's a powerful one?"

The instructor said in a deep voice, "I'm going to go full speed ahead. You put up a strong resistance."

"Ming, I understand!"

The dragon accelerated again, blurring Xira's vision. Frost struck Xira's energy shield like bullets, forcing Xira to activate her artifact to fight back with all her might.

The chat group was abuzz with discussion: "How powerful must this person be to elicit such a strong reaction from the Black Dragon Lord?"

Sila was also quite worried: "Mentor, the other side is so strong, can you communicate with them?"

The dragon said, "I feel like I know the other party very well; we've been in contact recently."

Sila was taken aback: "Recently?"

The dragon said in a deep voice, "Perhaps I have already guessed who it is. It is indeed very troublesome, and it is not convenient for me to show myself. I am actually very hesitant right now."

Xilahan said, "Even if a powerful being that our mentor finds troublesome is willing to cooperate, wouldn't it just destroy Iron Flame Village as soon as it comes out?"

The dragon sighed, "Perhaps he wasn't tortured enough. He should be the Frost Dragon King who was secretly imprisoned in Hell for a thousand years, to be auctioned off as a living organ in a treasure shop. I never imagined he was imprisoned here. As a fellow dragon, I feel sorry for him. But if I were to take action, it would be a grave sin that would directly implicate the entire Black Dragon City."

The crowd was shocked: "The Dragon King?"

Uriel said, "Paradise Lost has a treasure shop, and the top floor is for harvesting organs from powerful criminals. If it's the Dragon King, then it should be about cutting off his horns!"

Gabriel exclaimed in surprise, "She said she had recently come into contact with something, so that means she encountered the Dragon King's horn? It could only be your guild leader, right? Only a great demon like Azazel is qualified to buy horns."

Uriel sighed, "That's how it should be; prepare the guild leader for the S-rank trial."

Xila asked, "Boss, she said it's inconvenient for her to show up, does that mean she wants me to break him out of prison?"

Michael pondered for a moment: "She's so strong, yet she's only a lord-level expert. Even a weakened king-level expert can be won over. Besides, you have no choice but to accept, otherwise your favorability rating would plummet after all this time you've spent together."

With his boss's words, Xila was ready to go all out: "Mentor, I wonder if I have the strength to break out of prison?"

The mentor said, "I don't know, and I can't give you any blessings or empowerments that would reveal my presence."

Sila, who had never had the chance to put his football godhood into practice, was really dissatisfied: "Mentor, leave it to me! You find a suitable place to hide and not show yourself, I'll go."

The tutor said with satisfaction, "Very good!"

Then the mentor began to fly low and slowly until he stopped on a snow-capped mountaintop and transformed back into human form: "I'll hide here. That mountainous area ahead should be it. There should be a barrier blocking the view. Search carefully and quietly."

"clear."

What does "searching secretly" mean? It means directly canceling the NPC identity you're currently using to disguise yourself and appearing as a player.

Xi stretched out her angelic blood wings and swooped down.

At the same time, it fully activated the Converging Divine Spark, which began to spin rapidly like a football, and Xila's attribute values ​​continued to soar.

Just looking at the attribute bonuses, it's a pure stat monster. And then there are the divine skills:
—Defeat the Gods and Demons Realm: After activating the Gods and Demons Realm, it greatly enhances the user's attributes and combat skill effects, and unleashes powerful negative mental effects such as despair, fear, aging, and dizziness on all enemies on the field.

The Divine Realm hasn't been activated yet! Once activated, it will further enhance attributes, making it a super stat monster!
The power of this combined divine essence truly delighted Sila, filling him with murderous intent: "Wake Samuel up and let him see me have my fun!"

Gabriel laughed and said, "That's right, both the thrill of slaying monsters and the thrill of watching magic tricks are great, so let him enjoy them to the fullest!"

Sariel sighed, "Such a powerful divine status was just given away like that! It's one thing for Da Chun to be stupid, but his China team behind him is stupid too."

Sila smiled proudly: "It's not that they're stupid, it's that my superstar performance was flawless. They're useless in jail, giving it to me is the best solution!"

Gabriel laughed, "It's all because I f***ed you!"

Sila cursed angrily: "Fuck you, you bitch..."

Then, Xila arrived at the mountainous area pointed out by her mentor. It was a snow-covered valley surrounded by several snow-capped mountains, which was indeed a natural cage, but the valley was desolate and empty except for the snow and ice.

This must be the barrier the mentor was talking about. It's indeed advanced; none of Xila's detection devices detected any significant energy fluctuations. But there's no need to waste time—activate the Defeat Gods and Demons Realm!
As the divine realm was activated, a dark red sea of ​​blood scene expanded directly to a kilometer around Xila!

As the divine realm expanded and disturbed, the barrier fluctuations appeared, sparking a crackling friction with the divine realm.

Sila went all out, activating the Death Domain once again and transforming into the Grim Reaper. He raised the blood-red scythe and slashed it towards the location of the fluctuation!
The slash cleaved through dimensions, and the scene shifted, revealing a colossal frost dragon the size of a valley, lying prone in the valley! And indeed, it had no horns!
The crowd erupted in a roar!
"As expected of the Dragon King, he's bigger than the Black Dragon Lord!"

"I thought the Silver Dragon Mother was already quite large, but compared to the Dragon King, she's like a chick compared to a rooster!"

The next moment, alarms blared throughout the valley, but only a few dozen flying demons swooped in. Then, an aging effect immediately appeared: their bodies shrank instantly, and their speed drastically decreased!
Uriel got excited: "These are the personnel on duty. The other side was completely unprepared. Kill them quickly!"

Sila's Blood Blade swung down, and with just a normal attack, it was a "critical hit to the weak point," dealing 10 damage!
This damage is equivalent to a divine weapon bombardment, equivalent to Da Chun's divine wheelchair cannon! And this is just a normal attack, while Xila's normal attack speed can only be described as an electric fan!

Harvest!

Harvesting like crazy! They're blocking the entrance and harvesting!

Dozens of flying demons were transformed into a large amount of experience points for Sila in just over ten seconds! Not only that, the souls of the dead demon army were imprisoned in the scythe by the Death God's Domain, further amplifying Sila's attacks.

The sheer awe-inspiring stats were so incredibly satisfying that the chat group erupted in cheers! Compared to Xila, the stats of those so-called high-level teams on the field were like those of kindergarten children!

Then, the opponent's strongmen seemed to have made their move, but in the face of Xila's advantageous terrain, terrifying divine domain effects, and extremely agile speed, they were nothing more than having thicker health bars and tougher defenses, and were just sandbags being stunned, bleeding, and beaten throughout the entire process!

Sila couldn't help but laugh with ecstatic joy: "I've never had so much fun hacking and slashing! The stronger the monster, the more fun it is to fight!"

Perhaps the Ice Dragon King also sensed Xila's strength, for a heavy breathing sound came from behind.

Sila got excited: "Frost Dragon King, I'm here to save you! Can you move? Once you get out, run south!"

The Frost Dragon King's voice was muffled: "Blood...eat...chains!"

Uriel said, "They must be too hungry and thirsty to move!"

Sila laughed loudly: "Fine, I'll make the valley flow with blood into a lake, so you can drink your fill!"

At the same time, all the artifacts on his body—no, first Samuel's artifacts—were used to directly bombard the anchor points fixed by the chains in the valley, causing snow and ice to fly and boulders to collapse in an instant.

Then reinforcements arrived in greater numbers, until a fallen angel in shimmering black armor, wielding a shield and an electric baton, appeared. Sira suddenly realized that all her fear-of-aging techniques were completely ineffective against her! Sira's fan-like, high-speed slashes only managed to create countless blocks on his shield!

I was having a great time chopping things up, and suddenly I started to feel annoyed!

Uriel was shocked: "This, the security captain of the treasure shop! At least a lord-level! Sila, I suggest you run!"

Xila glanced at the blood lake in the valley, and her gambling instincts kicked in: "Let's bet!"

Then he unleashed all his divine artifacts at the enemy, not even aiming to damage the lord-level angels, but simply to collapse the passage and stop the reinforcements from behind.

As expected, under the concentrated and intense bombardment, the rear passage collapsed, but the security captain remained unmoved under a metal-like energy shield!
Just by looking at the luster, Xila knew that his strength far surpassed his own!

But Sila could only continue gambling: "Captain, right now, there's complete chaos. Everything in the treasure shop was stolen by me..."

Just like banks, they actually love it when robbers come to rob them. The bank manager can cover up bad debts, and the security guards can take advantage of the chaos, blaming everything on the robbers. So, given the consistently corrupt practices of Hell, shouldn't the security captain take advantage of the chaos to steal some treasures?
The captain remained unmoved and swung his stun baton. Sila parried in time—and blocked it!

However, a powerful electric shock pierced through Xila's protective energy shield. In a panic, Xila could only activate her life-saving artifact, but the artifact was also instantly pierced. Xila was sent flying and fell to the ground, unable to move! Even if she wasn't killed, falling from such a height would kill her!

Holy crap!
Sira was now completely convinced of the usefulness of the angels, which explained why he had a fallen angel as his security guard—he was incredibly loyal.

All Xila could do was frantically activate her concentrated divine essence. With such a powerful divine essence, how could she not defeat a security guard?
Just as the opponent was about to pounce and intercept her mid-air, a healing blood light suddenly burst forth from her divine core, instantly restoring Sila to full health and removing the electric shock paralysis!

This?
A female voice came from within the divine essence: "Fight! His armor is too thick, and he can't fly as nimbly or as fast as you."

The chat group erupted in an uproar: "Is it that amnesiac guardian spirit!?"

Sila was overjoyed with unexpected delight: "I'll give it my all!!"

……

Da Chun slept until midnight, when he was awakened by a system notification sound.

——System prompt: It is now 5:4 a.m. on April 0, 12: noon on the Golden Continent time...

—System notification: You have received a message from the Honorary Elder of Southern Canyon Village…

—System notification: Due to the official operation of the bread factory and the change in business policy, you have received a dividend of 200,000 mineral coins from Ina's "Soybean Flour Baguette". You have also received a dividend of 400,000 mineral coins from 400,000 copies of "Sina's Smoke Processing Formula" and "Original Formula of Sacred Southern Enzyme Antipyretic Medicine".

—Astrologer's professional advice: Your fortune today is "favorable for travel, unfavorable for mining." Today is Jupiter's day. Your "Chapter of Misfortune" today is set with misfortune related to injury, paralysis, forced labor, and being unfairly blamed. You have accumulated misfortune for 3 days. The stronger the accumulated misfortune, the more powerful the transformation into good fortune will be.

—Broken Bottle Merchant Guild Notice: Congratulations! Your guild has received 26645 mineral coins as daily basic dividends from the Imperial Explorers Association's Border Five Cities Cooperation Project. A larger dividend will be received at the end of the month.

—System notification: Your progress on the repentance task "Plant and keep 10000 trees alive within one month" is 40167/10000. You have exceeded the repentance target, and your green channel effect has been further enhanced.

……

Da Chun is most looking forward to the dividend notification!

But when I looked, I was stunned. Wasn't the profit sharing for this bread business always 100 million? How did it suddenly become 20?

So, is this because baguettes were mass-produced, and the price couldn't be driven up anymore, so it plummeted?

Well, the baguettes have indeed been incredibly popular these past few days since the store opened, with prices soaring tenfold or more. I know it can't always be this crazy, but this sudden sharp decline is still quite disappointing.

However, it won't have a big impact. Anyway, as a legendary explorer, you can only exchange up to 10 a day, and you can never actually exchange all your money.

In short, the new day is all about contacting Yatenas to transfer the money as soon as possible. Although she said it could be done automatically, I can't wait even a little bit.

Da Chun selects the Magic Mirror in his inventory to contact Ellen.

A moment later, Ellen replied: "Honey, I'm having lunch now."

"Oh, remember to notify the Artenas Bank to exchange it."

"I understand. By the way, the guardian avatar that Lia placed in the Aggregate God Formation of Seraphim has been activated and is assisting the elders in a battle near the North Pole to rescue an Ice Dragon King..."

Da Chun was shocked. What? The Frost Dragon King? Is that the one who bought the dragon horns from my alt account in the Hell Treasure Shop?
Holy crap, I thought it was just a scene, but I can't believe I actually encountered it in the open world. So that snowy place really isn't hell, but the surface world after all? If the Frost Dragon King exists, then can we also encounter other Storm Lords and Blood Demon Lords in the open world?
"How is the battle situation now?"

"It seems very close; the elder probably still can't win."

Da Chun didn't know what to say: "Tell Goddess Liya to act according to her ability, and if she can run, persuade the elders to run."

"understood."

Da Chun remembered that his alt account had the Horn of the Frost Dragon King. He hadn't paid attention to it since he collected a lot of millennium dragon souls in the void. If he could use it to his advantage, could he contact the Frost Dragon King himself?
Switch back to the smaller account.

The smaller version of the Earth Flame Dragon flew across a desolate wasteland. Judging from the terrain, it should be about right, right?
Da Chun asked, "Di Lian, where are we?"

Di Lian: "Auntie said that we are now on the continent where Black Iron City is located, and it will be soon."

Da Chun immediately instructed, "Change direction first, fly towards the North Pole! Also, can we use the Frost Dragon King's Horn now?"

After all, back in the Void, it was a huge struggle for a tiny little guy like me to play the trumpet. It was the Void Serpent Queen who played it, and she played it incredibly well.

Earth Lotus said, "Aunt Kasha can fly. Let her hold the horn to my lips and I'll try."

"it is good."
