Chapter 107: The Calm Before the Storm

Over the next few days, the entire city of Frost Crane City entered a state of intense pressure and urgency.

Regarding the giant snake that was about to arrive, Chen Mo attached great importance to it.

Every day he spent a large amount of time practicing Heaven Ice Fall, a technique possessing enormous power.

Lion+ had enhanced his comprehension, allowing him to learn techniques with twice the result for half the effort.

Combined with his previous accumulation, Chen Mo felt that with another two days, he would be able to master it—he hoped that giant snake would come a little slower.

That way, he would have one more trump card.

The original survivors in the city were all transferred to the west side of Frost Crane City, the area farthest from the coast.

In the farm, two young men who had finished their morning labor were lying on the grass resting.

"Brother, I feel like something big is about to happen!"

The thinner of the two youths took a bite of ice vegetable and said to the tall, burly man beside him.

"You don't need to tell me that! Haven't you seen how many powerful extraordinary creatures have appeared in the city lately? They say those are all leaders from the Holy Land, on the same level as our City Lord!"

The tall, burly man spoke up.

Within the Ice Lion Kingdom, all cities including Frost Crane City referred to the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm as the Holy Land.

"It must be that a war is coming, and the opponent is probably giant beasts from the ocean."

The dark-skinned thin man speculated.

"The extraordinary creatures in the ocean are probably even more terrifying than those on land! I hope His Majesty the Lion King can win! It wasn't easy to finally live peaceful days."

The tall, burly youth also sighed.

Ever since the Ice Lion Legion occupied Frost Crane City, they had originally thought what awaited them would be a tragic fate.

In a city dominated by extraordinary creatures, they dared not imagine how miserable the humans living inside would be.

But unexpectedly, what the Ice Lion King brought was order and stability.

Not only was their safety guaranteed, the extraordinary creatures that used to occasionally harm people in the city never appeared again.

Moreover, food was also guaranteed—as long as one made contributions to the Ice Lion Kingdom, they could earn contribution points and thereby obtain food.

More importantly, the Ice Lion Kingdom provided everyone with the opportunity to become an Awakener.

The two brothers had successfully awakened after long-term consumption of extraordinary flesh.

Although their abilities were not strong, at least life was becoming more and more promising.

They felt that their current life was no worse than life before the cataclysm.

Now, they sincerely thanked the Ice Lion King who had brought all of this.

"He will win."

The thin man said firmly.

"The front lines seem to need a large quantity of mutated plants—after we finish eating, let's go help transport them!"

"Although we can't go to the front lines, let's do our best to contribute our share of strength!"

……

In just two short days, the extraordinary leaders with combat power in the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm and their kin were all transferred to Frost Crane City and deployed across various districts.

At the same time, all kinds of mutated spirit plants and extraordinary flesh were transported from the city farms and pastures of Tansangnira and Kennira to Frost Crane City.

Mutated ice mushrooms that could burst with dazzling white light, mutated ice vegetables that could produce explosions, mutated ice fruits that could make creatures laugh uncontrollably—these mutated spirit plants were sent basket by basket to the "ammunition depot," where they might produce unexpected effects in the upcoming war.

At this moment, the war potential of the Ice Lion Kingdom was fully revealed; like a war machine, everything was being arranged in intense and orderly fashion.

After the sea monsters signed their contracts, they were not restricted, except that they were not allowed to leave this city.

Upon seeing the scenes within the city, the sea monster leader felt quite shocked in her heart.

"Could it be that this Ice Lion King can really defeat Lord Sea God?"

A trace of wavering actually arose in her heart.

But soon, she realized there was something a bit off with her thoughts.

"Impossible! Lord Sea God's strength completely exceeds the imagination of these creatures."

"They are merely making futile efforts now—all these flashy things they're doing are useless." ————————————

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye a week had passed.

Lying Flat Lion, Day 15.

00:30 in the early morning.

The entire Frost Crane City was utterly silent.

Chen Mo lay on the snow, spiritual talismans flowing between his claws.

While racking up self-discipline hours for Lying Flat Lion, he practiced the technique of Heaven Ice Fall.

He had already stayed in Frost Crane City for over a full week, but still had not seen that giant snake arrive.

During this period, the sea monster race did send many more reinforcements.

All of them were taken down by Chen Mo and his kin.

The sea monster leader held a high status among the sea monster race; after she went missing, sea monsters were continuously sent into Frost Crane City.

It could practically be called a "sea monster trap"! Now there were over 200 sea monsters in the City Lord's Manor of Frost Crane City—nearly half of the entire sea monster race was here.

But even so, the deity they worshipped—that giant snake.

Still had not appeared.

Just then, the faint sound of surging waves reached Chen Mo's ears.

At the same time, he keenly sensed that the entire Frost Crane City was trembling slightly.

So Chen Mo ran to a nearby high slope.

He saw that on the distant sea horizon, huge waves suddenly surged—the rolling giant waves were tens of meters high, as if a super tsunami was approaching.

It is that giant snake.

This giant snake had no intention of hiding its aura.

Instead, it announced its arrival with towering waves and swore its fury.

This is an extremely confident display.

And amidst the waves, countless marine supernatural creatures appeared.

Unicorn dolphins, tiger sharks over twenty meters long, various shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and of course scattered sea monster clans.

This is the army of the Sea God Kingdom! They have come following their deity! 'Finally arrived.'

Faced with this awe-inspiring terrifying scene, the Ice Lion King's eyes showed no trace of fear, but were filled with excitement.

With his astonishing vision, Chen Mo's gaze pierced the shocking waves and saw the culprit stirring up the towering waves.

That was a giant serpent over a hundred meters long, seeming to come from myth.

It had a pair of golden pupils, like flowing candlelight in the darkness, and its scales interlocked, emitting a primitive metallic sheen.

Soon, Chen Mo obtained information about this giant serpent.

【Hydra Giant Serpent (Juvenile)】

"Hydra Giant Serpent"

Upon seeing the beast's name, Chen Mo couldn't help but think of a certain mythical creature from Western legend, said to be a monster with nine heads, somewhat similar to the Chinese mythological Xiangliu.

And yet this giant serpent before him, over a hundred meters long, is actually just a juvenile!
