Chapter 321: Ice Corpse Tide

"Brother Yao!"

The healing Holy Light fell but was blocked by the layer of ice outside his body; Duanmu Xing paced anxiously around the ice sculpture of Xie Yaoyao.

"Sister Nie, what should we do? Why don't you shatter this layer of ice, and I'll heal Xie Yaoyao's wounds!"

Fortunately, Nie Yingying remained relatively calm. After observing carefully for a moment, she shook her head and said, "Axing, don't worry yet! People who have been frozen cannot be broken open easily; be careful that the person might be shattered along with the ice."

"Then what should we do? If the ice isn't melted in time, Brother Yao will be frozen to death if this goes on for too long!"

Frozen to death?

Nie Yingying had witnessed how monstrous Xie Yaoyao's body was. She wasn't worried that this guy would be frozen to death; even if he were, it wouldn't matter. As long as his soul's injuries could be healed in time, he could handle any physical injuries himself.

But now, Xie Yaoyao could not be allowed to freeze to death. If he were frozen to death and kicked out of the Fairytale World, there wouldn't be enough time. Even if they found the 'Source of Spirit Song', there would be no way to pull him from the real world to heal his soul. By then, if Lilisi couldn't suppress the seal, causing this guy's flesh to mutate and summoning that incomparably evil Outer God to descend into the real world—then the end of the world would be just around the corner!

"Damn it, why now of all times!" Nie Yingying unfurled her Demon Wings and stepped forward to hug Xie Yaoyao's ice sculpture. "Axing, I'll take Yao first; you two follow behind!"

"Eh?!"

Traveling by air is naturally much faster than running on the ground, especially on difficult snow-covered terrain.

Duanmu Xing understood what Nie Yingying meant; after all this tossing and turning, Brother Yao's injuries might not be able to wait any longer.

……

The more 'Shouhou' ran, the warmer his body felt. His nearly frozen body became increasingly agile as they moved away from the ice palace at the center of the island.

"Damn it! If you aren't strong enough, you don't even have the right to watch the show! Sigh! I originally wanted to see if I could follow the Big Sister to get some good Entries, but now that's out of the question too!"

"Captain, if you ask me, we were right not to follow! That Ice Queen doesn't look like a good person at all; if we follow, we might just end up as cannon fodder!"

"Exactly, exactly. I always feel that the way the Ice Queen looks at us isn't right—it's like a knife!"

"Right, with that kind of strength, as long as... Eh! The person who ran past in front doesn't have a head!"

As the last pirate spoke, the world spun around; a round head fell to the ground, and blood stained the snow red.

"Enemy attack!"

The pirates' combat proficiency was quite good. After discovering something was wrong, no one paid attention to the headless corpse on the ground, but instead drew their weapons to defend themselves at the first opportunity.

"What is this?"

With snow-flake-like radial patterns covering his pale eyes and a long, slender blade reflecting ice-blue light, a man with snow-white long hair stood silently in front of the pirates.

"A Snow Elf?"

"No, he doesn't have that kind of ice crystal on his forehead!"

"Then who is this person? He feels so eerie!"

"I don't know. Captain, do you know?"

'Shouhou' certainly knew; the bright, clear Entry above the opponent's head said so!

【Ice Corpse】! Purple Curse Entry! A living dead eroded by the Eternal Frozen Abyss, with a mixture of ice crystals and resentment flowing in its blood vessels, and skin covered in breathing frost cracks. Anastasia's curse will accompany you forever! Prince Igor!

【Frost Marrow Boiling】! Purple Entry! The ice blood sprayed when injured generates poisonous ice thorns upon hitting the ground; those who come into contact will grow ice thorns on their joints and self-mutilate. Slaying an Ice Corpse will detonate the cold core within its body, releasing an absolute zero pulse with a radius of ten meters.

【Winter Beacon】! Green Entry! Cursed Ice Corpses will assemble under the Ice Queen's command!

Without a Bloodline Entry, this ghost thing seemed to be a special corpse created by that Ice Queen, or perhaps some kind of combat machine?

There were only three entries, but the speed of this ghost thing just now was simply terrifying. They hadn't even seen clearly what happened before that unlucky guy died. A thing that wasn't a living creature definitely couldn't be as simple as an ordinary Third-tier.

Wait!

That Green Entry called 【Winter Beacon】...

"Bad! Kill him! Quick!"

'Shouhou's' brain was always sharp; for instance, at this moment, he thought of the corpses frozen in the circle of ice outside the island.

The pirates naturally heard their captain's order, but... they didn't see the captain's prestige!

The man in front of them looked terrifyingly strong, and with the selfish nature of pirates, they naturally wouldn't risk their lives to step forward and fight, unless there was a merchant ship full of gold and silver treasures in front of them.

But not all pirates were so short-sighted. Among the crowd, 'Red Eye' Warwick, who had been controlled by Nie Yingying's blood magic, also thought of something.

He quickly completed his transformation, and a huge werewolf instantly swept aside the pirates blocking his way... and ran... ran... ran!

Unfortunately, although the idea was good, the situation didn't allow it.

The werewolf had just started moving when he saw Ice Corpses walking up from the seawater one after another.

"Damn it, it's too late!"

Why not say pirates are all smart!

Upon seeing the endless army of Ice Corpses, all the pirates gathered together to fight the enemy. On this isolated island where there was no escape, fighting in unity was the only hope for survival.

And the werewolf who had originally intended to escape also took the initiative to meet Igor, the King of Ice Corpses, who was holding a long blade. Warwick was smart; if he left it alone, once this King of Ice Corpses killed all the pirates, he would be the only one left to face this army of Ice Corpses alone.

Lead bullets flew, swords and blades danced!

Just hope we can hold out until the Big Sister comes back to save us!

……

The Demon Wings flapped, and Nie Yingying's figure left a white line in the sky, while the ice sculpture in her arms became increasingly cold.

"We're here!"

The hexagonal main hall held up seven whale-bone-like ice cones piercing the sky, and frost veins formed by snow pulp flowed through the gaps in the honeycomb crystal walls. Twelve satellite towers etched with spiral light slots reflected colorful brilliance under the sunlight.

And a woman dressed in a gorgeous ice-crystal robe stood proudly on the square in front of the ice palace.

The ice-crystal crown grew into her temples, frost mist lingered at her fingertips, and her trailing dress flowed with aurora fragments. The majesty of the Ice Queen was indeed not something a Snow Elf puppet could display even one percent of.

"Boom!"

Gravel splashed, and snowflakes fluttered.

Nie Yingying, hugging the ice sculpture, used the momentum of her descent to land with a bang in front of the Ice Queen.

"Blood Elf, you actually brought this man to my ice palace!"

"What Blood Elf, my surname is Nie, and my name is Nie Yingying!" Gently supporting Xie Yaoyao's body, Nie Yingying's expression was very serious. "I just need to use your 'Jiguang Freezing Source' to complete a ritual; don't force me to kill you!"

Quietly looking at the furious Blood Elf in front of her, Anastasia seemed to have returned to the day she first met Prince Igor!

"Hahahaha, a man! Blood Elf, do you want to make a bet!" ===== CHAPTER 322 =====
