Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200
Although the three of them already felt they had fully consolidated their power and were ready for the next upgrade, Du You and his companions did not leave immediately. They hadn’t forgotten the real reason for their visit.
They were here mainly for the treasure left by the Snow Emperor. However, now that the entire northern mountain region had been conquered, the treasure was still nowhere to be found, which was quite frustrating.
After clearing the area for a whole day, the remaining Undead were almost completely eradicated, but they had found nothing of note.
"How strange, according to the markings on the map, it should be in this place."
Du You walked across an open space, the map on his wristwatch scanning and comparing the surroundings—it was supposed to be here. Even though many years had passed and the environment had changed, it couldn’t have changed that much.
"Could it have been found by those Undead Mages?" Lin Yushi spoke up.
At that moment, Lin Yucha suddenly said, "That’s unlikely. Both the map and the current terrain are clear enough to find easily; it’s just an open space here. But the Snow Emperor was very confident that his possessions would not be discovered. Perhaps we’ve overlooked something. Master, take out the original map."
Du You’s eyes lit up, thinking of something. The reason for using the wristwatch was because it was convenient and could scan and contrast the terrain—there was no need to consult the old map.
Du You took out the map, and in the next instant, a surge of power erupted, causing him to involuntarily release his grip. The map, now flickering with a crystal light, flew into the air and then slowly merged into the Void.
"Just as I thought, this map is indeed a key. The Snow Emperor’s treasure is hidden in a subsidiary space, not within the Home World’s space," Lin Yucha said, her face revealing a look of realization.
Lin Yushi nodded gently, admiringly looking at her sister, not bothering to think too hard herself. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Du You watched the Void and then quietly retreated, "Let’s move back a bit; we don’t know what’s inside."
The three stepped back, and about five minutes later, a huge circular portal appeared in the Void, the landscape on the other side undergoing a complete transformation. There was a vast open space with a castle in the center.
"It’s similar to the Snow Emperor’s Ice Snow Crown Castle in appearance and size. Let’s go take a look."
Once they confirmed that the space around them was stable and it would remain for a long time, Du You led the two sisters into it. After entering, Du You found that he could open a spatial channel and leave at any moment, which reassured him to continue exploring.
However, as the group approached the castle, the ground suddenly began to shake.
"What’s happening? There’s no sign of any living creatures, nor any traces of the Undead. Wait, what’s that?" While Du You was talking, he suddenly noticed something burrowing out of the ground.
These were not Undead Creatures, but snowmen. Indeed, snowmen whose bodies were continuously changing, as if they had no definite shape, though they roughly resembled snowmen. These snowmen had no legs but could glide quickly over the snow. Their hands, made of ice and snow, formed into swords and attacked.
"These are Mutation Element Creatures; physical attacks won’t work; we must use energy-based attacks."
Lin Yucha fired a few arrows, quickly determining the creatures’ weaknesses. Lin Yushi, without hesitation, unleashed a large area of Thunder and Lightning, attacking the surrounding snowmen indiscriminately.
The snowmen soon fell, and the Demon Extermination Spirit emerged. In this type of terrain, the Demon Extermination Spirit could hardly harm the snowmen since they were not Evil Creatures. So the pure demon exterminating energy was ineffective, just like physical attacks. Even if scratches were made, the snowmen quickly recovered.
Although the Demon Extermination Spirit couldn’t injure the snowmen, it was able to slow them down without issue.
"This thing must be afraid of fire." Du You released the Dark Fire Dragon, and nine fire dragons spread out. This time, Du You didn’t have the fire dragons bind the targets in their usual way but had them roam freely, scorching the nearby snowmen.
It was because of Du You’s current level that he could use Magic so flexibly; otherwise, the Fire Dragon would instinctively bind a target.
"Use the Devouring Swamp; it has a large area, and it should be effective," Lin Yucha suddenly suggested to Du You.
Hearing this, Du You considered the idea and released a vast expanse of Devouring Swamp towards a distant area. "Haha, just like you said, it’s really effective, and you’re so smart. You’ll get a reward tonight."
"Can’t you ever be serious? Let’s deal with this situation first," Lin Yucha said, her cheeks turning slightly red.
Du You kept releasing the Devouring Swamp continuously, and it proved to be very effective against the snowmen. The snowmen weren’t high level, but they were too numerous and troublesome. The Devouring Swamp didn’t require full power; using just the third tier was sufficient.
The snowmen, fearless of danger and unaware of it, just kept coming. Then they entered the swamp, unable to move due to the stickiness, stuck in place. The dark energy above the swamp would then gradually devour the snowmen at a fast pace. Higher-level ones were left behind, and when they came over, they were also greatly injured since this was also a type of special energy attack.
A few strong ones were intercepted by Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, easily exterminated.
However, the number of snowmen was indeed considerable; it took over five hours before their numbers finally began to dwindle.
"Now I know why the Snow Emperor ended up involved with those Undead Mages; they both adhere to the quantity school of thought. Whether it’s the Undead or these snowmen, they rely on numbers to win."
"Yeah, without special means, even a fourth-tier person coming here would be easily exhausted by these snowmen. And if you add a few fifth-tier snowmen, a fifth-tier expert might also meet their end."
No sooner had Lin Yushi finished speaking than several fifth-tier snowmen appeared.
Du You looked at Lin Yushi amusedly, "Is that like a curse?"
"Not at all; this won’t make it difficult for us. On the contrary, it will benefit us; it’s more like a blessing in disguise."
"Alright, a curse or a blessing, it’s still a bird’s mouth," Du You said with a laugh, and Lin Yushi pinched him irritably.
"Humph, you’ll see how amazing I am when we find good stuff." Saying this, Lin Yushi directed her frustration towards the few fifth-tier snowmen. Despite the peculiar composition of the snowmen, their power wasn’t very strong. Under Lin Yushi’s relentless assault, they were quickly annihilated, and with the fall of the few fifth-tier snowmen, the entire space gradually calmed down.
