Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1173: The Magical Array of the Underground Altar
If there were outsiders in this extremely strong snowstorm, they would definitely be shocked when seeing this scene, right?
A dragon that is stronger than an ordinary sword master and can still survive in this extremely strong blizzard environment, even like a fish in water. Its body size is obviously over a hundred meters, which is countless times larger than humans. However, when it collides head-on with the tiny humans, it is crushed and falls from the snow mountain and crashes into the snow.

"Roar!"

At this moment, even the Ice Dragon itself seemed confused, as if it couldn't believe that it would be shot down by a human as tiny as an ant.

Although they are monsters, real dragons possess very high intelligence, which is not much different from humans, and some are even more intelligent than humans.

The same is true for this ice dragon. It is naturally very intelligent, and it has survived for thousands of years. Its wisdom is no less than that of some extremely old and knowledgeable court magicians.

It is for this reason that it has a quirk of its own, liking human sculptures and bringing frozen humans back to its habitat to decorate them instead of swallowing them whole.

Some of the human-shaped statues on the snow-capped mountains were even deliberately created by it.

Even if humans who break into this forbidden zone of life can survive in this blizzard, if they are unfortunate enough to encounter this ice dragon, their fate is self-evident.

This ice dragon will occasionally leave the polar region to attack humans, freeze them, make them into sculptures, and bring them back to its habitat.

It can be seen that the intelligence of this ice dragon is quite high. At least among monsters, it is definitely a member of the highly intelligent group.

However, it is also because of this that dragons generally have ridiculously high self-esteem.

After realizing that he was being humiliated by a tiny human, the Ice Dragon was stunned for a moment, and then his anger exploded instantly.

"Roar!!!"

The roar turned into waves, making the surrounding blizzard even more violent and terrifying.

The ice dragon flapped its wings and flew up with red eyes. Without thinking, it swooped directly towards the tiny figure above the snow-capped mountain.

It was moving so fast that it seemed as if the surrounding blizzard was assisting it, creating a tailwind that turned the huge black shadow into an afterimage.

"boom!"

Before the dragon arrived, a breath of extremely cold air rushed in first and landed on Lige's body, causing a huge ice flower to bloom again in the sky.

However, this time, the dragon's breath did not hit Lige.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

Lige appeared in another direction as if by teleportation, and then flashed several times, moving his position again and again.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The ice dragon that came with the blizzard attacked Lige again and again, sometimes swinging its dragon claws with amazing power, sometimes sweeping its thick dragon tail, sometimes slashing down with its wings like knives, and sometimes opening and closing its ferocious dragon mouth to bite. Each attack was extremely fierce and violent, causing bursts of explosive roars to appear in the air.

The momentum alone was more intense than the battle between ordinary sword masters.

Because of their high intelligence, dragons are cunning and brutal when fighting, unlike ordinary monsters that just rush around recklessly.

Therefore, even though this ice dragon seems to have lost its mind and is launching a fierce attack on Lige, you can tell from its dragon tail sweeping from behind from time to time and its sudden icy breath attack at the right time that if you use the same method to deal with ordinary monsters to deal with this dragon, you will definitely die an ugly death.

Even Lige, if he hadn't kept the transparent world open at all times, might have been tricked by this cunning ice dragon.

"Although we are both dragons, you are much more sinister than Melyucina."

Li Ge flashed several times and avoided the continuous swings of the ice dragon's claws and tail. Suddenly, instead of retreating, he rushed towards the opponent.

"Roar!"

Seeing this, the ice dragon was not surprised but happy. A fierce light flashed in his eyes. He swung out with one claw, causing the air to explode, and immediately a breath of ice spurted out of his mouth.

The scale of this icy breath was nearly twice as large as the previous one.

This dragon... actually knows how to hide his abilities!

Unfortunately, it ran into Lige.

"【eight】."

As a faint voice sounded, an invisible slash cut through space and slashed towards the incoming icy breath.

"Pfft!"

The icy breath was easily cut off by the invisible strike, like a wave hitting a reef, and was instantly cut into two strands and dispersed in mid-air.

"Oh!"

The claws of the ice dragon did successfully hit Lige, causing a sonic boom, but a closer look revealed that the huge claws did not touch Lige at all, but stopped several centimeters away from him.

Lige rushed forward and appeared in front of the ice dragon before it could react.

"【untie】."

As Lige gently placed one hand on the ice dragon's body, a storm-like attack came.

“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!”…

In just a short moment, blood splattered all over the ice dragon's body, and its skin and flesh were torn apart, as if it had been cut by countless blows, and its body was instantly dyed red by the blood.

"Roar!"

The ice dragon let out a scream of extreme pain.

At this time, Lige had already retracted his hand and made a bow drawing gesture.

Flames bloomed on Lige's body.

In the violent snowstorm, the extreme low temperatures began to be replaced by gradually rising temperatures.

Waves of flames surged in from all directions, gathered in Lige's hands, and turned into an arrow-shaped flame.

"【open】."

As the bytes came out of his mouth, Liger loosened his hands and shot out the flame.

"boom!!!"

In the endless snow-capped mountains, the light of the red lotus suddenly appeared, appearing so dazzling and beautiful in the white world of ice and snow.

The violent roar was like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth, causing the fire wave to explode while dispelling the low temperature and wind and snow.

The scorching flames and the blizzard conflicted with each other. Although they failed to repel the blizzard, they melted countless ice and snow, causing waves of torrents to appear on the snow-capped mountains, like waterfalls, rushing down the mountains.

The sea of ​​fire was raging, the flames were roaring, and the scorching heat did not dissipate for a while even in this icy and snowy environment, illuminating the sky.

After a long time, the flames were swallowed up by the blizzard and gradually disappeared between heaven and earth.

Immediately, a charred ice dragon fell from the sky, like a fighter jet in distress, leaving a trail of smoke behind, and once again hit the snow heavily, creating waves of snow.

"Shh!"

Lige then appeared as if he had teleported, and landed as a victor, landing on the charred ice dragon.

"Roar……"

The ice dragon sensed all this and wanted to roar and struggle, but the severe pain all over its body stopped it. As soon as its ferocious bloody mouth opened, a large amount of blood gushed out.

"What a waste." Lige commented on the scene heartlessly, "Dragon blood is a good thing. It can be used to refine high-level magic potions, and it can also be used to feed monsters and accelerate their growth. It is extremely rare and precious. If I had known earlier, I would not have been so ruthless."

The ice dragon was furious after understanding Lige's words. If it hadn't been unable to move, with its pride, it would have fought Lige to the death.

"As expected, you can understand what I say." Li Ge naturally noticed the anger in the ice dragon's eyes, and immediately smiled and said, "That's easy."

"Hey, since you live here, you should know where the teleportation magic circle in the Casafegel Mountains is, right?"

“I don’t care whether you came later or were originally placed here to guard this mountain range. Take me over and I will consider sparing your life.”

Although Lige has a route map with the location of the teleportation magic circle marked on it, eleven thousand years have passed and the environment here is so harsh. Who knows if the terrain and route have changed?

Taking this into consideration, Li Ge decided to torture the indigenous people here to be on the safe side.

"Roar!"

The ice dragon finally caught its breath, but had no intention of doing as ordered. Instead, it opened its mouth without saying a word and bit towards Lige fiercely.

Naturally, although this bite successfully enveloped Lige, the sharp fangs inside were stuck several centimeters around Lige. No matter how hard the ice dragon bit, it could not bite Lige.

"Your mouth stinks."

Liger spoke expressionlessly.

"【Shut it for me】"

The fluctuation of cursed power was wrapped in Lige's words and spread in the air.

"————!?"

The ice dragon was shocked to find that he could no longer control himself, and he closed his fang-filled mouth as the tiny human said.

Lige seemed not to notice the ice dragon's shock, and first used the [Red Blood Manipulation Technique] to collect the spilled dragon blood.

Even if these dragon bloods are not used as materials for refining potions, they are also an excellent thing as a medium for activating the [Red Blood Manipulation Technique].

Even though it is not as good as divine blood, the magic power contained in dragon blood is much richer and more powerful than ordinary blood.

If dragon blood is used as the medium to activate the [Red Blood Manipulation Technique], the power of this technique will become much stronger.

Therefore, regardless of whether he would have the chance to use them in the future, Li Ge still collected them first.

Then, Lige once again gave the order using the [Spell].

"【Take me to find the teleportation magic circle.】"

The compulsory spell made the ice dragon unable to move at all, even though its body was covered in blood and its scales were charred black. However, it still moved slowly regardless of everything.

The severe pain made the ice dragon wail loudly, but at the same time, it could not resist Lige's curse, so it had to spread its scarred dragon wings and fly.

A blood-stained ice dragon staggered towards the depths of the Snow Mountain, and its path was slightly different from the route map in Lige's hand.

Fortunately, the difference is not that big. Even without the ice dragon leading the way, Lige will be able to find it in the end as long as he spends some effort and time.

But now that someone was leading the way, Lige was happy to have some free time. He just stood on the dragon's head and let the ice dragon lead him into the depths of the Casafegel Mountains.

After crossing many mountains and flying over many snowfields, it was unknown how long it had passed before the ice dragon brought Lige to a place.

"Cave?"

Lige jumped down from the dragon head and looked up ahead.

It was a frozen cliff.

In the middle of the cliff, far away from the ground, there is an inconspicuous cave.

"Is it in here?"

Liger muttered as he stretched out a hand to the side.

"Oh!"

The huge dragon head that had just been carrying him suddenly attacked and bit him relentlessly, but was caught by Lige with one hand.

"[Resolution·Soul-Breaking Blade]."

Lige spoke calmly and indifferently without even turning his head.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"Pfft!"

The next second, an invisible slash swept across the body of the huge ice dragon, but did not cut its flesh.

Because this time, the slash cut through its soul.

"------"

The fierce light in the ice dragon's eyes froze and gradually dimmed.

"boom……"

After a few seconds, the huge body of the ice dragon slowly fell down, making a dull sound.

Lige still didn't turn around to look at the ice dragon, but just said something in a low voice.

"It can be considered as helping you get revenge."

What Li Ge was referring to were naturally the human-shaped ice sculptures on the mountain.

He doesn't think those human-shaped ice sculptures are natural.

Therefore, he had no intention of letting this harmful and evil dragon go.

Of course, there are still many treasures on the dragon's body, which cannot be wasted.

With a wave of his hand, Lige stored the entire body of the ice dragon into the storage space of the Dimensional Cube, leaving it for later dissection.

"Hmm... there shouldn't be any other creatures appearing here, right?"

Looking at the dark cave entrance, Lige thought uncertainly.

But now that we're here, there's no reason to go home.

Then, Lige flew into the air and slowly flew into the cave.

…………

I have to say that the environment here is really harsh, even the temperature inside the cave is very low.

Although there was no snowstorm, the interior of the cave was still covered with ice and snow. The ceiling, walls and ground were all covered with thick ice and snow.

Lige continued to fly inward, and then found that he seemed to be flying slowly downwards.

"Does the passage in this cave lead underground?"

This idea is correct.

Soon, Lige found himself reaching the ground and began to go deeper underground.

His flying speed was not slow, but according to his estimation, he was at least several thousand meters underground.

After flying for about half a day, the space around Lige became larger and larger. It was no longer just a monotonous passage, and the view in front of him suddenly became clear.

Finally, Lige arrived at a vast underground cave.

There is an altar in the big cave.

There was also a thick layer of ice and snow on the altar.

After Lige cleared away the ice and snow, a magic circle with a diameter of about ten meters appeared.

The magic teleportation circle leading to the hidden place was finally found by Lige.
