NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2621 Absorbing Again
Chapter 2621 Absorbing Again
Fuel was something that could be found during a Zombie Apocalypse. Once the death realm and the outside teleportation passage opened up, there would be as much fuel as needed.
Using it to exchange for Dark Clan items would be a huge profit!
However, Fang Heng didn't believe that the Disaster would be easily defeated just by these fuels.
He lifted his head and looked into the distance. As the flames on the ground slowly faded away, the previously scattered Nest of Disaster began to slowly regenerate along the ground.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Have you noticed that these Disaster creatures seem to lack high-level awareness?"
"Yeah, you're right."
In the earlier battle, the Disaster creatures clearly had no chance of winning, yet they kept relentlessly chasing the Bone Dragon.
Fang Heng felt that the Disaster creatures behaved a bit like zombie clones in a sort of AFK mode. Once given a chase command, they would follow it without deviation, no matter the circumstances.
Perhaps this could be exploited?
"Fang Heng?"
"Hmm?"
Fang Heng snapped back to his thoughts and nodded, "Let's go. Let's clear a few more waves."
...
Death realm.
Frozen Valley area, high above the outskirts.
Elder Carlton had received the order from Commander Tigranth to bring a number of subordinates to assist Fang Heng in unlocking the ice soul.
He was not happy about taking on this mission.
Unfortunately, this time the clan had intervened and forced him to come.
The primary reason for choosing Carlton for this task was that he was a genius in controlling Underworld Fire within his clan, possessing unique talent and domain abilities.
What was happening now? Why were they still focused on unlocking the ice soul?
"Elder, look over there! Those Disaster creatures seem a bit off."
Carlton, already feeling irritable, heard one of his subordinates call out and glanced down toward the Bone Dragon below.
Hmm?
Carlton also noticed the anomaly.
A large group of Disaster creatures seemed to be drawn by something and were rapidly gathering toward the Frozen Valley area.
Coincidentally, the Bone Dragon was flying in that direction as well.
Not good!
Could something have happened in the Icebound Valley?
Carlton's heart sank, and he quickly controlled the Bone Dragon to accelerate toward the Icebound Valley.
Soon, through a thick layer of gray-white fog ahead, a red glow reflected back.
What was that?
Carlton narrowed his eyes, and his uneasy premonition grew stronger.
"Elder, do you feel like the temperature here is higher than usual?"
Indeed.
They were already on the outskirts of the Icebound Mountains, so the temperature shouldn't be this high.
As the Bone Dragon sped forward, a vast sea of flames gradually appeared before them.
Just as he feared, it was fire!
The ground surrounding the canyon was engulfed in a blazing inferno!
The Nests of Disaster attached to the ground exploded one after another under the intense heat of the flames.
A large number of Disaster creatures were drawn to the flames and were charging madly into the inferno.
In the sky above, more than a dozen Bone Dragons were engaged in fierce combat with the Disaster creatures, continuously using their corrupted dragon's breath to attack the Disaster creatures below.
What was going on?
How did this raging fire below originate?
Carlton frowned deeply.
This flame wasn't Underworld Fire.
Could normal fire really deal with the Nest of Disaster?
"It looks like this fire is meant to deal with the Disaster creatures. Let's get closer and take a look."
"Alright!"
Soon, Carlton and his group maneuvered around the fire from a higher vantage point, slowly approaching the canyon.
Wait a minute...
When had the Icebound Valley been covered with green vines?
If they hadn't seen Kotal and his group at the canyon entrance, they might have suspected that this place was some kind of trap.
The Bone Dragon circled in the air before slowly descending.
Fang Heng also finished another round of combat and returned.
Though the Bone Dragon was strong, it couldn't guarantee a flawless battle. After continuous fighting, the Bone Dragon had taken significant damage, so Fang Heng reversed summoned it back to heal its HP.
"I am Carlton. I've received orders from the clan to assist you in breaking the ice soul."
Carlton set aside his previous disdain, his gaze quickly focusing on Fang Heng.
This human...
It was him who had created the fiery inferno outside!
"Thank you for coming all this way. We've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's start as soon as possible. We can talk while walking."
Kotal helped translate and led everyone into the Icebound Valley.
"Alright."
Along the way, Carlton occasionally glanced at Fang Heng, his mind full of questions.
Kotal, noticing Carlton's curiosity, spoke up, "The fire outside was created by Fang Heng. It worked wonders against the Nest of Disaster. We've already discussed it with him. The materials for the fire are extremely rare, but he'll find a way to get them for us."
Carlton nodded at Fang Heng, signaling his thanks.
Fang Heng didn't pay it much attention.
In his view, the effectiveness of the fire was very limited; it couldn't be used as a regular method.
Just recently, he had encountered high-tier mutated Disaster elite creatures, which had cost him a lot of energy to deal with.
Carlton had brought some materials with him this time.
While talking, Fang Heng immediately opened Carlton's exchange column and spent all of the Soulfire Liquor in one go.
As soon as they entered the teleportation space, they would need the Soulfire Liquor.
It was an essential item.
Soon, the group entered the temple of Empress Persephone in the Icebound Valley, and through the teleportation passage, they entered the lower caves.
"Ice soul."
Carlton focused on the seal within the ice soul, nodding slightly to signal the accompanying Dark Clan members to set up the magic array.
Carlton had an exceptional talent for Underworld Fire.
Combined with his unique spiritual domain abilities, the efficiency of the Underworld Fire greatly increased within his domain.
He was a natural when it came to playing with fire!
Fang Heng mentally nodded in approval.
The ice soul was consuming energy even faster than when Commander Tigranth had been in charge.
However, the effectiveness against the Ice Witches still left much to be desired.
Unfortunately, Fang Heng couldn't offer a much better solution.
But...
Fang Heng slowly shifted his gaze to the Empress' will nearby.
There was no rush.
In the meantime, he could focus on absorbing the three fragments of shattered wills first!
...
Five days later, Fang Heng returned to the underground ice soul region.
It was strange.
Perhaps it was because his willpower had been repeatedly consumed and tempered recently, but his recovery speed had significantly improved!
He was now ready for the next phase of absorption!
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing on the last cloud of black mist swirling beside the ice soul.
The other two mists had already been absorbed cleanly in the past two days.
"Kotal, give me a hand."
Kotal, already aware of what Fang Heng intended to do, became serious and nodded, saying, "Alright."
Fang Heng took out a shard of an ice crystal stone pillar and poured his mental strength into it once again.
Whoosh!
The Empress' will was quickly drawn toward the shard, merging into Fang Heng's body and diving into his sea of consciousness.
