Ice Worm

Of course, a lot of troops also need to be spared to block any possible sneak attack by 'Liu Yuchen'. At least in Li Wei's imagination, the other party will definitely not sit idly by and let him get the last piece of Dragon Jade. Moreover, he also wants to snatch the other Dragon Jade from the other party, so a conflict between the two sides is inevitable.

Since we're going to fight anyway, we might as well take the initiative; at least our side will still have the upper hand.

Li Wei ultimately divided the three men's forces into two parts. The first part, consisting of all 300 Mighty Gorgon and 7 Rust Dragon, was under his control, while the second part consisted of all the remaining forces, which were controlled by An Hei and Zheng Yutong.

After assigning the troops, Li Wei sneaked up the Ice Snow Cliff alone, while An Hei and Zheng Yutong stayed at the foot of the mountain, summoning their troops to intercept Liu Yuchen if they encountered him.

Meanwhile, Li Wei, after walking along the steep mountain path for a while, discovered that there was no road ahead. A fierce wind, carrying ice and snow, swept in, and even Li Wei felt the biting cold. He quickly circulated his inner energy to resist it. Looking up, he realized that flying was probably the only way to get to the top.

However, if a flying card is used, it would be difficult to withstand the strong gale, while if flying on a sword, it might disturb the Sacred Dragon above.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei reached out and tried it on the ice wall. With the Behemoth's Power, he could carve a dent in the ice wall with a little force. He should be able to climb up it with his bare hands as well.

This was also the most secretive method. Li Wei took a deep breath and then leaped up. After reaching a height of more than ten meters, he used his hands to form claws and gripped the ice wall tightly. Like a gecko, he slowly climbed upwards.

The cliff was a full 300 meters high, and Li Wei managed to climb it up with his bare hands. Along the way, several Sacred Dragon swept past Li Wei within tens of meters, but because of the blizzard, they did not discover Li Wei's whereabouts. Thus, Li Wei sneaked into the Ice Snow Cliff without anyone noticing.

Above was an ice hole several meters in diameter, and Li Wei crawled straight inside.

This place provided excellent protection from the blizzard outside. After resting for a while at the cave entrance, Li Wei began to observe the ice cave.

Clearly, this is a naturally formed ice cave. Looking inside, it's a maze of interconnected passages, with no idea where it leads. This kind of ice cave is somewhat like the inside of a cheese, or even more like a labyrinth; if you go the wrong way, you're doomed.

While climbing, Li Wei felt his fingers were getting numb from the cold. It was almost unbelievable that the temperature of the ice wall could harm him, even after countless enhancements.

However, this is, after all, the habitat of the most powerful creature, the Sacred Dragon, and is naturally incomparable to ordinary polar regions.

Li Wei had no doubt that if he were trapped here, he would freeze to death within three days.

Although there are many passages here, Li Wei does not plan to climb up the ice wall outside. Compared to the outside, this place is much more secluded. As long as he finds the right passage, he can sneak in unnoticed.

After walking into the ice cave for a while, Li Wei encountered the first fork in the road.

With one on the left and one on the right, the passage was pitch black. After considering for a moment, Li Wei chose the right side.

After walking for a while, they came to another fork in the road, but this time there were four forks: up, down, left, and right. This time, Li Wei was in a bit of a predicament.

By now, they were quite deep inside the Ice Snow Cliff, and the deafening wind outside the cave was barely audible, as if they had suddenly entered a very quiet environment.

"The Sacred Dragon's habitat should still be up there, so let's climb upwards!" After thinking for a moment, Li Wei chose the upward path.

So, for the next few hours, Li Wei wandered through this maze-like passageway until, in the end, even he himself lost his bearings.

The temperature here is extremely low. Li Wei remembers spitting out some saliva halfway through and hearing the sound of something hard hitting the ice wall. What does this mean?

The saliva froze into ice cubes on the way.

Moreover, the ice walls here are definitely not the fragile ice found outside.

Li Wei tried to poke a hole in it with his finger, but only managed to leave a shallow indentation.

Even hard rocks and metals, Li Wei could easily poke a hole in them, which shows that the ice here is even harder than metal.

But the strange things here don't stop there.

At this moment, Li Wei discovered that there were many ice caves in this ice cave, resembling small rooms. Some were a few square meters in size, while others were dozens or even hundreds of square meters.

Of course, the problem isn't with the ice caves themselves, but with what's inside them.

In these ice caves of varying sizes, Li Wei saw many 'Ice Worm'.

Ice Worm —it's hard to imagine what kind of creature that is. At least, in Li Wei's memory, there are no such monsters in the game.

Each Ice Worm was a different size, but they all had a color like ice jade and a nearly completely transparent body. Through their transparent flesh, Li Wei could see the monsters' internal organs.

Out of curiosity, Li Wei approached an Ice Worm that was about half a meter long.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the bone-chilling cold, and you can also hear strange sounds, like the sound of vomiting.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Perhaps sensing someone approaching, the Ice Worm suddenly flipped over, and several hairy tentacles suddenly extended from its body. The tentacles changed, and something resembling a suction cup appeared on them. Li Wei could see that the suction cup was filled with tiny, sharp teeth.

Pfft!

Suddenly, a cloud of white liquid shot out from the tentacle, Li Wei quickly dodged it. The liquid landed on the ground, emitting a visible chill, and soon turned into a hard block of ice.

In terms of both color and hardness, it was indistinguishable from the surrounding ice wall.

Li Wei's head suddenly buzzed. He thought to himself, "Could this entire Ice Snow Cliff be the lair of these mysterious Ice Worm? Just like ants use secretions and soil to build their nests, this place might also be a nest built by these Ice Worm using the frozen ice."

Li Wei summoned Werewolf, wanting to use it to test the power of the Ice Worm's spit.

This Werewolf was one of the few low-level units Li Wei kept in his possession, intended as cannon fodder for scouting. With a roar, the Werewolf charged forward, wielding its spiked hammer.

The Ice Worm moved slowly and deliberately, wriggling a few times before spraying out another burst of **.

The Werewolf, unlike Li Wei, didn't have the agility to reach out and was directly struck by the blade. In an instant, without even letting out a scream, it turned into an ice sculpture.

"I can't get hit by that spray, absolutely not!" Li Wei saw that spray, which could be described as the coldest substance imaginable; anyone who touched it would be instantly frozen.

Slowly retreating from the ice cave, Li Wei looked back and felt a chill run down his spine. The entire passage was now crawling with these terrifying Ice Worm.

The one closest to Li Wei pounced suddenly, and Li Wei instantly activated the Devour skill in his right eye.

The air around Li Wei's right eye distorted, and the Ice Worm that was still in the air was quickly broken down and sucked into his eye.

"So cold!" Li Wei shivered from the sudden chill. Even though the Ice Worm had been broken down into its purest form, the bone-chilling cold still affected him.

Wait a moment!

Li Wei suddenly realized that if even he couldn't withstand this cold, then wouldn't others be even more vulnerable? What if he caught a few of these Ice Worm and threw them at them at a crucial moment? Wouldn't that be a brilliant plan?

However, the most pressing issue is how to get out of here.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei decided to try using Shockwave Fist; perhaps it would be effective.

As a result, all the Ice Worm were shattered into pieces by the Shockwave Fist. That terrifying substance must have been the blood of these Ice Worm. After Li Wei destroyed their bodies, their corpses would become a solid block of ice, which would shatter at the slightest touch.

These Ice Worm have incredibly strong attack power, but their defense is extremely weak.

After killing most of the Ice Worm, Li Wei left only a few behind. He took out Copper Pot Ice Worm, made a hand seal, and stored them inside.

Afterwards, Li Wei finally found the exit in this maze-like ice cave.

Li Wei discovered an exaggeratedly large ice cave, the size of several football fields. The exit was diagonally above, offering a view of the blizzard raging overhead, yet inside the ice cave, it remained completely unaffected by the storm.

Here, Li Wei alone saw no fewer than 50 Sacred Dragon.

The largest of them was three times the size of an ordinary Sacred Dragon, and it was currently dozing off on a huge ice platform.

Li Wei quickly used his Eye of Perception to look over.

"Gaia, King of the Sacred Dragon, combat power S2..."

Li Wei retreated back into the cave without making a sound, not even daring to catch his breath.

They actually found it! Seeing Gaia, Li Wei knew his chance had come.

If he could kill it, he could obtain the last piece of Dragon Jade, which represented the ' Dragon Power 'Dragon Jade that could rival that of Main God. Li Wei couldn't help but feel nervous.

This is like a poor person who has been bullied by a rich person suddenly discovering that they might win the lottery.

Li Wei forced himself to calm down. He absolutely could not be discovered by the Sacred Dragon at this moment, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain. After all, although he had 300 Mighty Gorgon and 7 Rust Dragon, he would definitely be instantly killed if he faced 50 Sacred Dragon and a Sacred Dragon King.

Even with Zheng Yutong and all of An Hei's forces combined, they still couldn't contend with these 50 Sacred Dragon.

"This is indeed an extremely difficult task. If we don't lure these Sacred Dragon away, there's absolutely no way we can kill Gaia!" Li Wei quickly thought of a solution. At the same time, he thought to himself, no wonder Liu Yuchen hasn't made a move yet. It turns out he also knows that without an absolutely superior troop type, it's impossible to even get close to the Sacred Dragon Gaia.

Li Wei was not one to give up halfway. After thinking for a moment, he summoned two Werewolf and quietly climbed along the ice wall to hide in another place.
