Chapter 407 Ice Cave

In the ice secret realm, it was the gale period at this time, and the ice storm sweeping across the entire secret realm let out a terrifying roar, devouring the white world.

A group of ice beasts nested in an ice cave, lying listlessly on the ground. They were the darlings of ice and snow, but they had to stay away from the storm.

The ice beasts are not monolithic. In order to survive, different groups will fight with each other. This ice cave was snatched from another group of ice beasts.

The corpses of the losers are still lying in the cave. This is their ration during this period. Unfortunately, there are only more than 20 ice beasts left in their colony. If they encounter other large colonies, they will either choose to surrender. , or die.

The ice beast as the leader of the group is a pure-blooded ice wolf beast with peak A-level strength. It is quite famous in this area. In addition to its strength, it is also extremely cunning. At this moment, it is thinking about countermeasures. .

The first is to replenish the community. Conquering ice beasts is also easy. As long as you can defeat it, you can surrender. However, during this gale period, the small community does not have the strength to occupy a place to avoid the storm. They will either surrender on their own initiative. In some large communities, they either become food for other ice beasts, or they die in the devastation of ice storms.

If it were to challenge the leaders of large groups, their strength was almost the same as it's, and with its current weakness, they might not give it this chance at all.

The second is the territory. Ice beasts can withstand the erosion of ice by devouring flesh and blood. Of course, they can also achieve the same effect by hunting their natural enemies, ice elves, and absorbing the power of the elves. In this way, the division of territory is also particularly important, as long as If you occupy a territory, any existence other than your own community that enters the territory can be hunted.

Even if an ice beast from another group accidentally enters and is killed, the leader of that group cannot have any conflict with his group because of this.

Neither of these two problems can be solved in a short time. Now the gale period has just begun, and no one can tell when it will stop. So it thought for a while, and then gave up thinking without a clue. He's as listless as the rest of his subordinates. Let's weather this storm first.

Suddenly, the ice beast near the cave entrance suddenly issued a warning. In an instant, all the ice beasts in the cave quickly climbed up and were on guard towards the cave entrance.

In the wind and snow outside the cave, a huge shadow suddenly appeared. Its figure was larger than the entrance of the cave. After the black shadow approached, the ice beasts vaguely heard some strange and incomprehensible sounds.

"Are you stupid? See if you can get in."

"Hurry up, I'm freezing to death."

"Huh? There are actually people inside who have arrived first. It seems like another battle is inevitable."

"Master, do you think it's so great?"

"Almost, hurry up."

In the sight of the ice wolf and other ice beasts, an ice sculpture walked in with its wings crossed. As soon as Hajime entered, a dignified aura spread out, suppressing them so that they did not dare to move.

I saw the ice sculpture retracting its wings again, revealing a race I had never seen before. This race stood on its feet, its arms still beating its body, shaking off the ice and fine snow.

"Dabai, ask them if they want war or peace." Hao Ren said nonchalantly.

The ice sculpture Dabai nodded, while shaking his body and scattering ice and snow, he hummed a few times towards the ice beast.

The ice wolf beast looked at the surrounding men, all of them were trembling with fear. This was the suppression of the superiors. Not only them, but also it was afraid. It knew that this sudden ice sculpture was a pure-blooded S-class. Existence is not something it can deal with.

Although he was unwilling, he was still forced to let out a low moan and then lie down on the ground to show his unwillingness to resist.

This time, there was no need for the ice sculpture to explain. Hao Ren also knew the intention of the ice wolf beast. He found a place to sit down, rubbed his hands, took out a fire stone and started to dispel the coldness in his body.

There were not many fire stones left, and he originally planned to stay in the secret realm for five months, but he did not expect that as he went deeper into the secret realm, the erosion of the cold would become more serious, and the blocking effect of the ice power would become less and less obvious. It can only be supported by over-reliance on the Fire Essence Stone.

And his luck on this trip was not very good. He found a few pure-blooded ice beasts, but after killing them, he did not find energy crystals from their bodies. Therefore, this trip to the secret realm was coming to an end, and this was his return journey. .

With Dabai here, the area he explored this time was much larger than previously planned. In the past, he would have been very satisfied, but now he is not satisfied.

According to his estimation, this trip went west for more than a thousand kilometers. The degree of cold erosion in the farthest place increased sharply, and he should be close to the boundary of the secret realm. Unfortunately, it was still a little short, and he had to choose to return.

Dabai stood respectfully beside Hao Ren. During this period of getting along with him, he knew that this master was actually not stingy and was kind to him. He was hardly used in battles, but the essence of the ice beast's core belonged to him. Good flesh and blood also belongs to it, so the initial thought of being forced to surrender but not willingly has disappeared, and now it truly surrenders.

The ice wolf beast has been the leader for a long time, and it is very clear about the behavior of its subordinates. Seeing the way this ice sculpture gets along with Hao Ren, it is obvious that this S-level ice sculpture is still dominated by this unknown race. Out of curiosity, it He whimpered a few times, and Baymax responded to it.

But after hearing Dabai's response, the ice wolf's eyes became sharp. Although it didn't show any hostility towards Hao Ren, it really had other thoughts in its heart.

"What are you talking about?" Hao Ren asked casually. After getting along with each other these days, he felt relatively at ease with Dabai.

"Master, it asked me what race you are and why it has never seen you before and thought you were a mutant of the Ice Ape Clan. I explained it to it," Dabai said.

In the past few months of getting along day and night, Dabai was exposed to the language and learned it very quickly. Now he has no problem with basic communication. In addition, he is also very yearning for the vast world outside Hao Ren. In order to be able to communicate in the outside world To live a better life, it even takes the initiative to learn etiquette.

Unfortunately, the teacher it found was not very good, and Hao Ren was not familiar with many etiquettes, so he only taught it basic manners.

Hao Ren was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "It doesn't know humans. So it has been living in the middle of the secret realm. Ask it if there are any treasures nearby, even immature ones. I haven't caught anything in the past four months." , wouldn’t it be a loss of blood?”

Dabai asked the ice wolf truthfully, and it asked in more detail. It had already obtained enough good things, and now it was time to ask for some treasures for its master.

The ice wolf thought for a while and then told Dabai the news. Dabai also excitedly translated to Hao Ren. The ice wolf said that it didn't know what kind of treasure it was, but it just happened to pass by it and felt that there was something that attracted it. , but it's a pity that that's not its territory. With its current strength, it can't even touch the community in that area.

When Hao Ren heard the words, he was not too excited. When the ice wolf beast made a sound just now, he had been expecting it, so he stared at the ice wolf beast closely. It was not until he saw a hint of cunning flashing in its eyes that he suddenly realized that he almost Losing the most basic precautions is a big taboo.

However, even if this ice wolf beast has a plan, Hao Ren is not afraid. With Dabai here, it is still easy to escape. If you want to divert trouble to the east, I will let you tie yourself up.
