Chapter 89: 089 Witchcraft Goddess

Judging from the cracks on the ice, it was clearly a trace of a creature living here.

The two squatted before the broken ice and observed carefully.

Zhang Bei rubbed his chin and followed the direction of the traces, walking forward cautiously.

Xueli followed behind Zhang Bei, her gaze full of vigilance.

"Ice Cicadas are very rare; from the time they are born until they turn into Ice-Sealed Butterflies, it only takes one month."

Zhang Bei nodded lightly; Xueli had lived for over a thousand years, after all.

She still had a lot of say in such matters.

The two moved forward along the traces and soon arrived at a place full of giant ice blocks.

Zhang Bei stood in place and narrowed his eyes.

On the countless ice blocks before them lay blue butterflies one by one.

This was the final form of the Ice Cicada: Ice-Sealed Butterfly.

These Ice-Sealed Butterflies had wings that were a full two meters wide and one meter long when spread.

The entire wing was like a sharp blade.

And the target of this mission was the Ice Cicada protected by countless Ice-Sealed Butterflies.

Xueli stood beside Zhang Bei: "I'll go lure away this group of Ice-Sealed Butterflies; you hurry up."

A trace of worry flashed in Zhang Bei's eyes, but he still nodded lightly.

At such times, he still had to trust Xueli; at worst, he would just go all out at the end.

Black-red energy surged on Xueli's palm, gradually turning into a long sword.

She aimed at the ice block ahead and slashed down heavily.

Black-red Jian Qi rushed toward the Ice-Sealed Butterflies, kicking up a wave of air.

This sword made countless Ice-Sealed Butterflies fly into mid-air, and the sunlight in the sky had already been obscured.

Xueli took a deep breath, and the two pairs of wings behind her flapped slightly.

In an instant, her figure had already appeared in another direction.

Seeing that most of the Ice-Sealed Butterflies had been lured away,

Zhang Bei gripped the Tachi in his hand and walked into this habitat.

Soon, an Ice Cicada hanging upside down on the entire ice block attracted Zhang Bei's attention.

It was almost the same as a common cicada, except it was larger and the color leaned toward light blue.

The Tachi in his hand slashed toward the Ice Cicada in an instant.

"Clang!"

The huge vibration made Zhang Bei's arm somewhat numb.

Looking again at the Ice Cicada lying on the ice block, aside from an extra white mark on its body, it had no reaction at all.

Ye Fan: 【Holy crap, this thing is this hard?】

Wu Yingcai: 【Brother Bei can't even handle a tank with one slash now?】

Niu Xuanming: 【Since when did cicada babies get this hard?】

Zhang Bei frowned, and the Tachi slashed onto it one after another.

Soon, he had accumulated to the thirteenth slash.

Instant Brilliance!

A slash that was fast enough to leave an afterimage cut the Ice Cicada's body into two halves directly.

The watch sent a sound instantly.

【Congratulations to player Zhang Bei for completing the mission: Deadly Ice Cicada.】

【Reward: Avici Hellfire.】

He didn't bother with the reward problem.

This mission looked simple to complete, but that was the result after Xueli lured away all the Ice-Sealed Butterflies.

His figure flashed, and he soon caught up to Xueli, who was dodging attacks in mid-air.

Black-red energy surged on his body, and a long bow appeared in his hand in an instant.

It was Hellfire, which had undergone countless fusions.

A Crystal Core was buckled onto the long bow in the blink of an eye.

A black-red energy arrow was fired instantly.

The explosion caused by the fire-attribute attack instantly stimulated all the Ice Butterflies attacking Xueli.

However, the long bow's attributes were more than just this; a skeleton slowly stood up from the very center of the explosion.

Xueli, who was dodging attacks in mid-air, had her eyes light up.

"It's effective, continue!"

Zhang Bei gave a wry smile; this was a Level 20 Crystal Core, how could it not be effective?

But now was not the time to feel the pinch, and another energy arrow flew toward the Ice Butterflies.

The violent explosion blew away countless Ice Butterflies.

And this time, what appeared from the very center of the explosion was a Skeleton Knight.

As for the skeleton from just now, it had long since been torn into bone dregs by the Ice-Sealed Butterflies.

The two were one in front and one behind; Xueli was responsible for attracting the Ice-Sealed Butterflies' gaze.

Zhang Bei stood behind, one arrow after another.

After a full five minutes, over a hundred Level 20 Crystal Cores had been used up.

Only then did the Ice-Sealed Butterflies before them retreat like a tide.

Xueli wiped the bloodstains on her arm and landed beside Zhang Bei.

Under such a long battle, even an Angel's body was scratched by the wings of the Ice-Sealed Butterflies.

Zhang Bei looked at the large and small wounds on Xueli's body: "You've worked hard."

"It's nothing; is your business finished?"

Zhang Bei nodded and reached out to take out a bottle of Life Water: "Drink it!"

Xueli was stunned and took it.

Just after pulling out the stopper, the aura of life radiating from inside instantly filled the area around her body.

"Elf Potion!"

Hearing Xueli's exclamation, Zhang Bei raised an eyebrow.

"What Elf Potion?"

After Xueli drank a bottle of potion, the injuries on her body instantly began to recover.

She shook the bottle in her hand: "It's this; ever since the Elves disappeared, I haven't seen this thing again."

Zhang Bei touched his nose; he hadn't expected this thing to have such a background.

Looking at Xueli before him, Zhang Bei suddenly thought of the room full of Transcendent items piled up on the first floor.

Most of those things were of unknown use.

Having cleaned up the battlefield, the two stepped onto the return journey.

It had to be said that after Xueli joined the battle, completing the mission became much easier.

With the two of them joining forces, they could easily deal with most situations.

After several hours of flight, the two finally returned to their residence.

As usual, everyone was sitting at the dining table waiting for Zhang Bei's return.

After a dinner, Zhang Bei returned to his room.

His consciousness deposited into the system, looking at the familiar options before him.

It was impossible for his Popularity Value to accumulate to five digits again in just one day.

He invested 1,000 Popularity Value, and the roulette spun rapidly.

A number slowly emerged on the golden screen.

【Current Critical Multiplier: 83.】

Red cards fell to the ground one by one.

He collected all the cards and then clicked on the watch to check the attributes.

【Avici Hellfire, LV0

Characteristic: After use, a layer of Avici Hellfire can be attached to the weapon.

Effect: Fire from hell; only holy light can extinguish it.】

Over the next two days, Zhang Bei stayed in the settlement and rested steadily for two days.

Xueli could be considered to have thoroughly familiarized herself with the entire Nantian City.

Every day, aside from helping Zhang Bei identify some Transcendent items, the rest of the time was mostly spent strolling around the city.

Ice Age survival day 81.

Zhang Bei flipped through the documents in his hand and frowned.

This information was the result of countless people's investigation into that one God.

The God was called Circe; according to the introduction, she was a powerful mage.

However, for Zhang Bei, who was proficient in ancient mythology,

he still had some understanding of this God.

She was a low-level deity in the Greek mythology system.

Known as the Witchcraft Goddess. ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
