Chapter 34 Preparing to Make the Arrest
What is an Ice Demon?
Tao Tao and the other two hid under Linghu Xuan's shield, watching helplessly as many people were swallowed by the frost. As the frost gradually spread, it almost completely obscured all vision.
“Ice demons are different from monsters. They are a kind of spirit that forms under the ice layer. They mature slowly and have a very long growth cycle. Very few ice demons can grow to maturity. But even if they don’t reach maturity, these spirits are quite powerful. At least they are not something we can deal with.”
Song Chaofeng explained, while simultaneously rummaging through his storage bracelet to see if there was anything that could help them leave this place as soon as possible.
At the same time, Linghu Xuan frowned and said with some worry, "But how could an ice demon appear here? According to the information we have, there is no ice layer here, which does not meet the living environment of an ice demon. Could it be that someone deliberately put it here?"
"No matter what, we have to get out of here." Song Chaofeng took out the jade ruyi and looked around. He found that the frost was still there. Fortunately, they had used a shielding talisman beforehand, and with so many people around, the ice demon wouldn't notice them first, otherwise it would have been dangerous.
Linghu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "How do we leave? We're probably being watched."
"With so many people around, they won't be watching us. In the chaos, I'll summon the Jade Ruyi, and the three of us will make a quick getaway, using all our spiritual energy to travel, regardless of whether we run out."
"This is the only way."
Although Linghu Xuan had doubts, he knew how powerful the Ice Demon was. Even if it wasn't at its mature stage, he didn't want to fight it and preferred to leave as soon as possible.
The frost continued to assault the barrier, and even the sturdy barrier had begun to crack. Fortunately, Ye Lan was a young lady from a prestigious family, and she naturally carried many high-level magical artifacts. She took out several talismans and scattered them around to form a large magic array to defend against the attack.
He then took out spirit stones to build up his power, ensuring that the ice demon wouldn't be able to break through the barrier until the spirit stones were exhausted.
"Miss Ye is indeed generous, using so many spirit stones to accumulate power." Song Ling'er couldn't help but feel envious. Just the spirit stones she took out could buy so many good things.
Ye Lan ignored her words and coldly said, "Survival is the most important thing now. What use are these spirit stones if I lose my life? However, this ice demon is interesting. I wonder if Junior Sister Song and Senior Brother Zhao would be willing to lend me a hand?"
"Miss Ye, you wouldn't be thinking of subduing this ice demon, would you? Ice demons are extremely rare, and if we could subdue one, it would definitely be of great help in the future. However, with our current cultivation level, it might be quite difficult for us to take it down."
Originally, Song Ling'er was only worried about the current situation, but when she heard that Ye Lan actually wanted to subdue the Ice Demon, she was also tempted. Who wouldn't want a powerful ally? Besides, if the Ice Demon was not mature, it would be much easier to tame.
“Since I said I would subdue them, I naturally have made full preparations.” With that, Ye Lan gently tapped the storage bracelet, and two dazzling lights immediately flashed out and flew towards the two of them, transforming into two high-quality magic artifacts that landed in their hands.
With the Ye family involved, it was naturally no ordinary magical artifact. The two women were naturally delighted with it, but also filled with trepidation. Song Ling'er looked troubled, "This is..."
"The first is the Purple Cloud Rope, and the second is the Wave-Breaking Blade. Both are high-level magic weapons. I imagine that some small sects might not be able to produce them even if they used all their resources. If you two help me succeed, I will give you these two magic weapons."
"really!?"
Song Ling'er and Zhao Lixin were somewhat incredulous, their hands unconsciously stroking the magical artifact. Of course, they didn't want to return such a valuable item so easily.
However, they also knew very well that since Ye Lan had offered such generous gifts, this ice demon would probably not be so easy to capture.
"Of course it's true. I have no reason to lie to you. Just listen to me and lure the Ice Demon out. Once it falls into my Nine Profound Flames Formation, no matter how capable it is, it will have a hard time escaping."
"I get it, you want to use the two of us as bait."
"Although it is bait, it is enough to protect yourselves. Moreover, with high-level magic artifacts in hand, the choice is entirely up to you. However, we don't have much time left, and we need you to respond to me as soon as possible."
As she said this, Ye Lan threw some extremely fast spirit stones into the formation to repair the cracks in the surrounding shield.
Song Ling'er was somewhat conflicted, but she really liked the Purple Cloud Rope in her hand. She looked at Zhao Lixin, and the two exchanged glances before looking at Ye Lan at the same time, saying with great determination, "We agree. What does Miss Ye intend for us to do?"
"Very good, you just need to do this from now on..."
On the other side, Linghu Xuan's barrier was about to collapse. His face was extremely pale, and due to the excessive consumption of spiritual energy, even his voice had become incredibly weak. "How can this never end? If this continues, we're afraid we'll all turn into dust."
"Little brother, let me help you." Tao Tao noticed that he looked unwell, so she placed her hand on his shoulder. Instantly, a stream of extremely pure spiritual energy flowed into Linghu Xuan's body, replenishing his depleted spiritual energy.
Linghu Xuan couldn't help but smile wryly, "Junior Sister Yue's spiritual power is indeed abundant."
Tao Tao grinned and said something that made Linghu Xuan both laugh and cry, "Because I eat a lot."
Linghu Xuan was speechless, and after thinking about it, he realized that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
At the same time, Ye Lan suddenly jumped out from behind the barrier and said to everyone, "I ask for your help. If it is successful, I will reward you with a second-grade pill."
The allure of a second-grade elixir was indeed great. Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned to look and nodded, saying, "Miss Ye is indeed generous. Alright, we'll help you."
"A second-grade pill?" Not to mention the others, even Tao Tao was eager to try it, but Song Chaofeng stopped him. "It's not candy, why would you go? Besides, it's obvious they want to use others as cannon fodder, we'd better not join in the fun."
Just as he finished speaking, a white figure suddenly darted out from not far away, surrounded by a layer of sharp frost, and one could clearly feel the chill emanating from it.
Song Ling'er and Zhao Lixin prepared themselves and attacked from both flanks. They said to the others, "This is the Ice Demon. Let's help Miss Ye capture it quickly."
A group of people acted at the same time. The white shadow was extremely fast, darting back and forth in the crowd. It was impossible to see what it looked like. If you were not careful, you would be touched by it and immediately turned into an ice sculpture.
The battle was intense, and many people had already been affected. Song Ling'er reacted quickly, and with the help of Ye Lan's Purple Cloud Rope, she was able to barely keep up with the speed of the Ice Demon.
"I never expected they would actually plan to subdue the Ice Demon. They really dare to dream of such things." Linghu Xuan shook his head slightly. In this situation, it was good enough to just stay alive, let alone have any other ideas.
Song Chaofeng frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it's Miss Ye who wants it. Although the Ice Demon is powerful, it is indeed rare. If we can capture it as a spirit pet, it will be of great help."
