Chapter 912: Chapter 604: The Demon Blood Mystery (Part 3)
They wore combat goggles, activated the heat perception mode, and the lenses constantly refreshed environmental data around them, clearly presenting everything hidden in the darkness in the form of heat signatures. Even the slightest movement could be instantly detected.
The group slowly advanced deeper into the ice cave, the ice surface beneath their feet becoming increasingly slippery, occasionally revealing ancient remains frozen beneath the ice, adding an eerie atmosphere.
Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from the darkness ahead, breaking the silence in the cave.
The sound was subtle yet continuous, like the scraping of hard scales against the ice, carrying a dry harshness that set teeth on edge, drawing closer with each passing second, each sound stepping on the rhythm of their hearts.
Wu Yang’s expression instantly became grave, his steps abruptly halting. He slowly raised his right hand, palm down, and shouted in a low voice, “Stay alert!”
Swish—
Before he finished speaking, all the warriors instantly tensed their bodies, moving in unison, gripping their weapons tightly.
The Barbarian Warriors emitted a faint Blood Qi from their bodies, while the Spiritualists quickly channeled their Spiritual Energy. Their sharp gazes pierced through the darkness, locking onto the direction from which the sound came, their breathing becoming increasingly oppressive, instantly filling the air with tension.
In the darkness, the rustling sound grew nearer, followed by the gradual emergence of massive silhouettes, like giant serpents lurking as they slowly slithered across the ice.
Their bodies were thick and long, entirely covered in heavy Ice Armor, with the edges of each piece sharp as blades, constantly scraping the ice as they moved, emitting that haunting rustle.
These Ice Beasts radiated a bone-chilling coldness, even colder than the environment within the ice cave. As they moved, the ice beneath them would condense into a thicker layer of frost.
Their eyes were a pure deep blue, like two blazing ice fires, glaring intently at Wu Yang and his companions.
One, two, three… More and more Ice Beasts emerged from the darkness, densely blocking the way ahead, forming a cold barrier that thoroughly blocked the group’s path.
They slowly lowered their bodies, growling deeply from their throats, their Ice Armor scraping and growls intertwining.
However, the soldiers present were long accustomed to such scenes.
Especially with Mr. Robert at their side, these mere Ice Beasts were nothing to worry about.
Wu Yang gripped the Heaven-piercing Halberd in his hand, stepping forward to assume the task, “Mr. Robert, leave these Ice Beasts to us.”
“No need.” Robert gently shook his head, then raised his right hand, suddenly conjuring a menacing, jet-black pistol in his palm.
It was one of the Ten Great Guns, renowned for its rapid-fire speed, the “Storm.”
Robert aimed the gun at the dense Ice Beasts ahead and sharply pulled the trigger.
Buzz—!!!
A deep gunshot rang out, different from the crisp sound of ordinary firearms. The “Storm’s” gunshot carried a hefty energy vibration, instantly overpowering the Ice Beasts’ growls and the screech of Ice Armor scraping.
The next second, countless jet-black bullets surged from the muzzle like a breached flood, forming an incredibly dense bullet storm, with a piercing whoosh, sweeping towards the Ice Beasts.
The bullet speed was astonishingly fast, almost impossible for the naked eye to follow. The shower of bullets was like torrential rain, instantly engulfing the entire Ice Beast group.
The Ice Beasts couldn’t even let out a cry before their hard, Ice Crystal-like armor appeared fragile as paper before the “Storm’s” bullets. The bullets effortlessly penetrated the armor, piercing their bodies, producing muffled thuds.
In an instant, the originally fierce Ice Beast group was silenced; each Ice Beast’s body was riddled with holes, densely covered with bullet holes. The Ice Armor shattered, and the cold beast blood mixed with shattered Ice Crystals spattered on the smooth ice surface, freezing into dark red ice stains.
The pungent smell of blood, mingling with the chill of the ice cave, permeated the air.
Looking at the Ice Beast remains scattered across the ground, the soldiers were unfazed; over time, they had witnessed the “Storm’s” power. Not only this group of Ice Beasts, even a Tier Six Spirit Beast, would struggle to survive before this famed gun.
Robert put away the “Storm,” raising his eyes to the depths of the ice cave, his tone calm, “Let’s keep going.”
“Yes, Mr. Robert.”
Wu Yang gestured for the soldiers to clear a path, then took the lead, guiding the troops to follow Robert into the depths of the ice cave.
After they had left, a blurry figure suddenly appeared, flashing past like a ghost.
