The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!

He advised.

"What about them?"

Snow Horse looked at the others again.

"These two are my subordinates, I assure you there won't be any issues. As for Miss Shi Tiantian, the Stone Spirit Clan has always maintained neutrality, and they have no reason to leak your information."

Liu Zheng said.

"I swear on the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, as long as you don't threaten the safety of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and the Stone Spirit Clan, I won't leak your information."

Shi Tiantian pledged cooperatively.

The Stone Spirit Clan was nurtured by the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, and swearing on it is akin to believers swearing to a god.

"What about them?"

Snow Horse lifted its hoof, and everyone's gaze focused under the armored vehicle, on the darkness that wasn't covered by ice.

"I can't be responsible for them, you can talk to them. If you can't come to an agreement..."

Liu Zheng paused and revealed a sly merchant's smile.

"If the armored vehicle gets damaged, you'll have to compensate accordingly."

"Fine. Sneaky fellows, come out!"

Snow Horse shouted.

The darkness remained unmoved.

"Hmph, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. Just in time for me to show you my true strength."

The snowflake patterns on Snow Horse spread across its entire body, making it look like a shattered and glued-together glass figure, fragile yet dangerous.

"Snowfall Burial!"

With a fierce shout from Snow Horse, the entire icy cage shattered and transformed into a torrential shower of ice needles shooting towards the armored vehicle.

With the boost of Extraordinary Power, the Mohs hardness of each ice needle reached over 8, three degrees harder than iron.

Not to mention an armored vehicle, even a tank would be pierced with a hundred thousand transparent holes.

Witnessing this dazzling scene, Dr. Nile's eyes slightly narrowed.

It seemed that Snow Horse was indeed not lying, as it wasn't using its full strength earlier.

Confronted with this destructive blow, the darkness could no longer be indifferent.

"The Dark Sect: Dark Fortress!"

The shadow beneath the vehicle suddenly expanded, and a semi-circular shield enveloped the entire armored vehicle.

However, since Dr. Nile's Sun Ship previously broke through the Dark Fortress, it naturally couldn't stop Snow Horse's Snowfall Burial either.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A sea of ice needles turned the Dark Fortress into a container of dark toothpicks. Liu Zheng could even hear the sound of the vehicle being pierced through.

"The Dark Sect: Arnzipher's Maw of Greed!"

The remaining darkness transformed into a huge bloody mouth, swallowing all the ice needles.

"The Dark Sect: Binding Darkness!"

Before the Maw of Greed could retaliate, dark ropes tore it apart.

"Again, can't you come up with something new?"

Liu Zheng couldn't help but complain.

It was always the same old tricks, if it weren't for the changing time and setting, he might have thought he was caught in some time loop.

However, despite his complaints, the old tricks were indeed effective, and Snow Horse's Snowfall Burial was thus neutralized.

"Alright, alright."

Snow Horse laughed in anger.

Having hibernated for hundreds of years, it reluctantly came out thinking it was a tiger descending the mountain, only to find it was an old horse stumbling.

"Looks like if I don't get serious today, I'll become a laughingstock in your eyes."

In its excitement, two red blots appeared on Snow Horse's otherwise pale face.

"It's not that bad, actually..."

"Shut up! I'll pay you double for your vehicle."

Fearing it might collapse from anger, Liu Zheng tried to console, only to be interrupted by its fury.

"Alright then."

He shrugged.

If it was willing to compensate double, what more could he say?

"Ice Meteor Sky Burial!"

Snow Horse's eyes turned into cruciform stars, shining beams of light onto the armored vehicle.

With the armored vehicle locked on, a piercing whistle echoed from the sky.

Everyone looked up to see a fireball breaking through the clouds, plummeting downward.

Soon, everyone could see the fireball's form.

It was a diamond-shaped meteorite about the size of the armored vehicle, composed of countless small diamond-shaped ice crystals, each facet refracting dazzling light like diamonds.

And the flames surrounding the meteorite weren't the usual purple, blue-green, yellow-green, or purple-red, but an ethereal white, resembling both flames and mist.

"So cold."

At the sight of the ice crystal meteorite, a chill seeped from Liu Zheng's heart, making him involuntarily shiver.

Looking at his body, the surface showed no signs of freezing.

Yet, he felt as if he was frozen stiff, terribly afraid of the unexpected catastrophe, unable to take a step to escape.

"Come over to me."

Dr. Nile once again raised the Sun Disc, gathering everyone around him.

The orange sunlight warmed their bodies and minds, rendering the meteor insignificant in the face of the sun.

Of course, for the darkness where the sun's rays couldn't reach, the pale flames of the ice crystal meteorite spelled absolute destruction.

"Doctor, will this affect us?"

Liu Zheng asked quietly.

"Hard to say, if worse comes to worst I'll use the pyramid to block it."

Dr. Nile replied.

The Nile River Pantheon wasn't known for defense. Although he knew some defense magic, now that Snow Horse had summoned the meteorite, conventional means were meaningless and would do nothing but waste mana.

"Ah Bao, what about you?"

He asked the panda.

"Do you overestimate me, mortal?"

The panda looked at him with an expression of exasperation.

"If I could block that kind of strike, would I still need coercion and bribery to be your bodyguard?"

"Whether you can block it is a matter of skill, whether you want to block it is a matter of attitude. Come on, use whatever means you have. If you plan to slack off at the first encounter, you'll end up doing nothing in the future."

Liu Zheng admonished.

"Sigh, if I'd known, I wouldn't have left the mountain."

The panda sighed and spat out a small plain white flag.

"Wow, Plain Cloud Realm Flag!"

He was instantly astonished.

This panda had such a treasure in its possession, truly worthy of being a disciple of the Mystical Sect.

"What Plain Cloud Realm Flag, this is my self-made Lesser Yang Dawn Flag."

The panda rolled its eyes.

If it had the Innate Five Directions Banner, why would it fear that divine cultivator? Holding it above its head, even a fake Heaven-Sealing Seal wouldn't be able to come down, let alone a real one.

This mortal, dreaming of sweet things every day.

It pondered a moment, then spat some black-and-white elixir energy onto the flag surface.

The Lesser Yang Dawn Flag, stimulated by the elixir energy, immediately displayed a light orange sunrise on its surface, harmonizing with the Sun Disc above Dr. Nile's head.

"Is this enough now? This mouthful of elixir energy took me at least half a month of meditation to recover."

The panda said irritably.

"Not bad, keep it."

Liu Zheng generously handed it a pile of cash.

"In that case, I'll lend a hand too."

Dr. Nile plunged his scepter into the ground, chanting an incantation.

"Father of all things, great Creator, benevolent Ra, protect us who honor the divine."

After a string of rapid incantations, a semicircular shield formed by the sun disc enveloped everyone.

The orange sunlight warmed everyone's hearts, rendering the meteor insignificant before the sun.

Of course, for the darkness where the sun couldn't reach, the pale flames of the ice crystal meteorite were absolute destruction.

"Doctor, will we be affected?"

Liu Zheng asked in a low voice.

"Hard to say, if it comes to it, I'll block it with the pyramid."

Dr. Nile estimated and said.

As everyone looked up, a fireball broke through clouds, plummeting down towards the armored vehicle.

It was so fast, carrying a tail of fire, and it was upon the vehicle in the blink of an eye.

The moment the group saw the ice crystal meteorite, a chill that seemed to arise from the depths of the heart made Liu Zheng shiver.

Even though his body was not covered in ice.

He felt frozen, overwhelmed by the sudden catastrophe, unable to move his feet and run away.

All of you, come here.

Dr. Nile raised the Sun Disc once more, gathering everyone around him.

The orange sunlight warmed everyone's bodies and souls; in front of the sun, the meteorite seemed insignificant.

Of course, the pale flames of the ice crystal meteorite were absolute destruction for the darkness that the sun couldn't touch.

"Doctor, will this affect us later?"

Liu Zheng asked in a low voice.

"Hard to say, if push comes to shove, I'll use the pyramid to block it."

Dr. Nile estimated, then said.

The meteorite, with a blazing trail, was unstoppable as it plummeted down toward the armored car.

That was the Ice Meteor Sky Burial!

Out of nowhere, a gust of wind suddenly rose up, turning the environment much colder.

The comet was intercepted mid-air by dark elf warriors.
