Chapter 220 The Source

As soon as the blue skull appeared, all the liches stopped what they were doing, bowed to it, and retreated behind it.

Without saying much, the long battle had made it clear that players could not be recruited.

He raised his hand and summoned a cluster of ice spikes, which slammed down on Huo Huan's head, thus beginning the battle.

Huo didn't care about the ice spikes, but he was curious about the blue skull.

As the originator of this war, the Blue Skull is undoubtedly powerful.

Because of its mutation, its methods are limited and not as diverse as those of the lich.

However, this does not diminish its power in the slightest; in fact, it is precisely because of the mutation that it has become so powerful.

As ice spikes rained down, Huo immediately retaliated with a breath of dragon's breath.

The scorching dragon breath spewed from Huo Huan's mouth, instantly evaporating most of the ice spikes.

The dragon's breath continued its relentless advance, evaporating the ice spikes before moving towards the skeleton.

With a "whoosh," a pale blue ice wall appeared in front of the blue skull, directly blocking the dragon's breath.

The dragon's breath collided with the ice wall, stirring up a large cloud of white mist.

A white mist filled the air, obscuring the entire battlefield.

The next instant, Huo moved, launching a bloody charge straight towards the location of the blue skull.

Compared to ranged attacks, Huo still prefers the feeling of punches landing with flesh, even though skeletons don't have flesh and the feel might be a bit worse.

With a "bang," a simple, unadorned straight punch was thrown out, only to be blocked by an ice wall that appeared out of nowhere.

The ice wall was incredibly hard, even harder than steel, and it withstood a full-force attack from Huo without sustaining any damage.

Huo Huan immediately became more serious. In the current state of the blue skeleton, it was more like a special elemental creature than an undead. However, because it was connected to heaven and earth, its strength was exceptionally powerful.

Transforming his hands into twin blades, and combining them with the spider legs behind him, Huo unleashed a furious barrage of attacks.

With the legendary trait of Sword Shadow Illusion, Huo Huan's twin blades and spider legs immediately became incredibly sharp. The originally hard ice became as fragile as brittle ice under Huo Huan's blades.

Despite Huo's fierce attacks, the blue skeleton was not at a disadvantage.

He extended two longswords made of solidified ice and engaged Huo in close combat.

Although it couldn't match the sharpness of Huo Huan's twin blades and spider legs, the blue skull could immediately regenerate whenever the ice sword broke.

With his superb swordsmanship, he managed to withstand Huo Huan's attacks for a short time.

However, it was still too much of a stretch. After having his hand bones broken by Huo once again, the blue skeleton finally realized that ordinary methods were not enough to deal with the powerful enemy in front of him.

After breaking another ice sword, the blue skeleton decisively unleashed its ultimate attack.

Absolute zero!

In an instant, extreme cold emanated from the blue skull.

The chill seemed to freeze time and space, spreading rapidly.

The next second, frost began to condense on Huo Huan's body.

Two seconds later, a lifelike ice sculpture appeared on the spot.

'Such strong cold air, it can freeze a person completely in an instant.' Watching the ice layer gradually thicken, Huo, who was frozen, was not flustered at all, and even had the leisure to comment on his opponent's moves.

Outside the ice, the blue skeleton stared solemnly at the ever-thickening block of ice in front of him, showing no sign of joy whatsoever.

Huo, still alive inside the ice block, was incredibly resilient. While his Absolute Zero attack had killed many powerful enemies, there were always a few who wouldn't die even when frozen.

Some even manage to break free of the ice on their own, even when frozen.

Huo Huan was clearly that kind of person. With his physique, he wouldn't have any problems even if he were frozen for a long time, let alone the fact that mere ice couldn't trap him at all.

Intense flames erupted from all parts of Huo Huan's body, continuously merging with the ice, while Huo Huan's body also began to grow larger and larger.

The blue skeleton, still trying to thicken the ice layer with a "crackling" sound, immediately realized that its move couldn't seal the opponent when it saw the ice cracking.

A few seconds later, the ice block suddenly exploded, and Huo, inside the ice, rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant over a hundred meters tall in the blink of an eye.

"Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve." A thunderous roar erupted from the giant's mouth.

The blue skull, floating in mid-air, glanced at the giant in front of it and prepared to retreat without hesitation.

Another opponent I can't beat, but so what?

Time will eventually be on his side. These outsiders will leave sooner or later. As long as they can't kill him, he will have unlimited time to conquer this world.

Huo was still somewhat taken aback as he watched the blue skull disappear from the spot like a snowflake.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so cautious that they actually ran away.

Pursuit has always been Huo Huan's weakness, and faced with the disappearance of the blue skull, Huo Huan really couldn't find out where the other party had gone for a while.

Perhaps it is this caution of the other side that has allowed it to survive until now, so much so that the war is still not over.

But even if the monks run away, there's still a temple.

The blue skeletons and those liches could run, but the city on this icy island in front of them couldn't.

With the obstruction of high-level forces gone, nothing could stop Huo Huan's progress.

After shattering the energy barrier surrounding the city with a dozen or so punches, the entire city was revealed to Huo Huan like an unsuspecting little girl.

Within the city, apart from high-level undead such as bone dragons and death knights, the majority of the remaining creatures are mid-level undead such as gargoyles, abominations, and zombie lords.

On the contrary, low-level undead such as skeletons and ghosts are quite rare.

This must be one of the Blue Skull's important strongholds.

However, starting today, this outpost will cease to exist.

Without the spellcaster, the remaining undead were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter in Huo Huan's eyes.

Soon, under Huo Huan's violent demolition, the souls of the entire city entered Huo Huan's collection of books, turning into strings of numbers.

The city, built of ice, began to collapse and soon became a ruin.

Shortly after, Huo clapped his hands and flew off the island.

This city truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Blue Skull's strongholds; the loot is far more plentiful than that from the Blackrock City they destroyed before.

In addition to a large number of mid-level undead artifacts, there are also quite a few magical items.

Although most of them are only of blue-quality (good), a few pieces of equipment can reach purple quality, which can be sold for a considerable amount of in-game currency.

After taking stock of all his spoils, Huo dusted himself off and prepared to find his next city.

For Huo Huan, this war had only just begun.

Chapter 221 Return

As fate would have it, not long after Huo left, another blizzard struck.

Although the blizzard posed no threat to Huo Huan, it greatly obstructed his vision.

This significantly reduced the efficiency of Huo's search.

For several days in a row, Huo had only managed to find two cities occupied by the undead.

Without exception, these cities all have a gray portal from which a constant stream of undead emerges.

It seems that the other party has mastered a mature teleportation array, otherwise they would not have been able to build it on such a large scale.

After destroying the two undead-occupied cities, Huo's search came to a standstill.

Aside from occasionally finding a few scattered undead on the snowfield, Huo had no other gains.

However, this time Huo seemed to have noticed something different.

The small group of Frost Ghouls that had been seen suddenly disappeared on the snowfield.

Huo then lowered his altitude and flew to the place where the Frost Ghouls had disappeared.

When they got closer, Huo Huan saw a passage made of ice and snow.

Without hesitation, we went straight in.

After walking for several minutes, a city built of ice and snow appeared before Huo Huan.

These spirits have somehow concealed the city beneath the ice and snow.

The sunlight was blocked by ice and snow, making the city appear dark.

However, the undead prefer dark environments, and since they are not afraid of the cold and do not need supplies, hiding under the ice and snow is not a problem.

No wonder I haven't found any spirits after searching for so long; they were all hiding under the ice and snow.

Although the cause was found, Huo still didn't have a good solution.

He couldn't see through the ice and snow, so he couldn't see if there were any undead spirits beneath it.

Moreover, this ice field was too vast, and being entirely covered in ice and snow, it lacked any distinctive landmarks or buildings, which greatly hindered Huo Huan's search.

People with a poor sense of direction will only get lost in one area when they come here.

This means that Huo could easily search places he has already searched, wasting time.

After clearing the city hidden beneath the ice and snow, Huo was still considering retreating.

It's not that we can't beat them, it's just that our efficiency is too low.

Eliminating the undead may only take a few minutes, but searching for them can take dozens or even hundreds of times longer.

This greatly slowed down Huo's collection speed.

Huo Huan had considered the idea of ​​returning to the human camp to wait for the enemy to come to them, but perhaps having witnessed Huo Huan's power, the undead side also retreated to some extent.

Although many undead still attack outpost cities every day, most of the attackers are low-level undead.

The high-level undead that were originally attacking the city have almost disappeared, and even the mid-level undead have become much less numerous.

Relying solely on low-level undead won't give Huo much experience.

I opened the book of collections and glanced at the number of items; the total number had exceeded 20.

However, most of the creatures inside are low-level undead like skeletons, which don't provide much experience.
