Chapter 785: The Ice Seal Lifted

"That's good!"

"Get some proper rest, you can sleep for a while," Su Yang said in a low voice. "Mount Dajiao City was protected very well by you. You performed excellently!"

"Mm!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, Liu Mengyun slowly closed her eyes.

Liu Mengyun's body was in no serious condition.

Sleeping until the afternoon, she woke once, and drank three bowls of meat porridge boiled from the flesh and blood of a Sovereign-tier fierce beast.

This was one of the spoils Su Yang had brought back from outside.

Ever since he obtained the Void Swimming Spirit, Su Yang could carry away a great many spoils.

He no longer had to do as he once did in Wanyang City — because the spatial pouch had limited capacity, he could only leave many spoils inside Wanyang City and have others help him transport them away.

The next day at noon, the weather was brilliantly clear.

Liu Mengyun woke again, and after eating lunch, she was able to move about freely.

Feng Yuanjie probed cautiously: "Vice Officer Liu, can you release Mount Dajiao City?"

It wasn't only Feng Yuanjie who was anxious — the survivors of Mount Dajiao City were just as anxious.

Hearing that Liu Mengyun had woken, they were all waiting for Liu Mengyun to thaw Mount Dajiao Mountain.

"Don't force yourself!"

Su Yang reminded her.

"It's fine now!"

Feng Yuanjie let out a breath of relief: "Then that couldn't be better!"

Liu Mengyun walked out of the tent, with Su Yang following behind.

Hearing that Liu Mengyun was about to lift her skill, all five Sovereign-tier powerhouses appeared.

After all, the five Sovereign-tier powerhouses had also been digging at Mount Dajiao Mountain for over half a month, and they too wanted to see with their own eyes how Mount Dajiao would be released.

Gazing at the ice mountain before her, Liu Mengyun gave a gentle wave of her right hand.

Accompanied by creaking, tearing sounds, cracks appeared on the exceptionally solid ice layer.

The cracks spread rapidly, covering the entirety of Mount Dajiao Mountain in an instant.

With a tremendous "Crash!", the vertical axe standing on the due-east face of Mount Dajiao, over a thousand meters tall, directly collapsed and shattered.

It broke into chunks of ice the size of a palm.

Crash, crash, crash!

After the ice axe collapsed and shattered, the ice layer sealing Mount Dajiao Mountain began to break apart and fall from top to bottom, from outside to inside.

The shattering of the ice layer, under Liu Mengyun's control, maintained a certain rhythm.

Neither hurried nor slow!

This was something Liu Mengyun deliberately did out of safety considerations.

After roughly one minute, the beast tamers, their flying-type pets, and the civilians packed onto those flying-type pets who had been frozen in the ice layer above Mount Dajiao City were freed.

The Gold-, Platinum-, and Star Glory-tier beast tamers who were already standing by rushed up and hurriedly carried them all to safety.

Otherwise, they would have fallen along with the ice layer.

These people had only fainted, and had not suffered any serious injuries.

They might feel hungry, but it wasn't a big problem — although the Ice Coffin had trapped them, it had also lowered their metabolism.

As long as they rested for a day, they would almost all recover.

Five minutes later, the City Lord's Office building appeared.

Six minutes later, almost all of Reef City's upper class district had been freed from the Ice Coffin.

The streets, alleys, and houses of the upper district were piled high with palm-sized chunks of ice!

And at this point, Liu Mengyun also stopped.

The collapse of the Ice Coffin came to an abrupt halt!

Feng Yuanjie said: "Vice Officer Liu, why did you stop? Hurry and get everyone out!"

"It can't all be lifted at once!" Liu Mengyun shook her head and said. "The forty to fifty thousand people of Mount Dajiao City are all in a state of unconsciousness. If we free them all from the Ice Coffins at once, who will look after them? Especially the civilians in those air-raid shelters — we have to rescue them first. Once they're out of the Ice Coffins, those chunks of ice will truly kill them!"

Liu Mengyun did indeed have the ability to turn those chunks of ice into ice water.

But the expenditure would simply be too great, and it would very easily drown all the civilians still unconscious in the air-raid shelters!

Feng Yuanjie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead — if such a situation really occurred, that would truly cost lives!

He hurriedly said: "Vice Officer Liu, you have a point — I was too impulsive!"

"All beast tamers, enter the air-raid shelters first. Rescue all the civilians, and within one day, clear every chunk of ice from the streets!"

"Yes!"

The remaining beast-tamer squads of Mount Dajiao City all rushed toward the various air-raid shelters, pulling the unconscious civilians out from the ice.

The rescued civilians were then neatly lined up by the beast tamers on the cleared main streets.

The sun was just right, the sunlight fierce and hot — very helpful for their recovery.

After ten-odd minutes, the beast tamers began to wake one after another.

"I'm not dead?"

"Where's my son?"

"That's wonderful!"

"How did we survive?"

"I only remember that the whole of Mount Dajiao City was frozen over — I couldn't even run away!"

"..."

Many Beast Taming Masters could hardly believe their eyes.
