Chapter 582: Chapter 459: Snow Beast Assault on the Fortress, Leng Family Mystery (Part 3)
Those figures are tough characters who can rival Tier Six powerhouses. With them here, perhaps we can hold Ice Extreme Pass.
But compared to that, what really gives Zhang Hao peace of mind is the vine growing quietly in the vast plaza inside the pass.
He still remembers, during the previous ice storm, it was this vine that fought alongside the Military Lord, easily slaughtering countless snow beasts.
Even a Tier Six powerhouse with a Golden Bloodline like Duan Guangtai was powerless in front of the vine.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao subconsciously glanced towards the direction inside the pass, and his anxiety gradually subsided.
To him, the sense of security brought by this mysterious vine was even stronger than that of the Tier Six experts like Xiong and Terreda. With it here, Ice Extreme Pass can definitely hold until the Military Lord returns!
…
The biting cold wind howled and rampaged across the ice plain.
Thousands of snow beasts were galloping across the plain, their agile forms stirring up ice shards with every run.
Lu Yuan, dressed in a white combat suit, sat steadily on the back of a giant white wolf. This wolf was larger than the ordinary snow beasts, its ghostly green eyes exuding a wildness and ferocity.
Lu Yuan frowned tightly. According to the established plan, Ice Extreme Pass should have already been reduced to ruins under the attack led by Lord Araya’s forces.
His task was merely to drive this group of snow beasts to trample the already ruined Ice Extreme Pass once again, creating the illusion of a snow beast siege.
However, the scene before him unsettled him.
Ice Extreme Pass stood high in front, the walls intact, and the flags on the city tower flapping fiercely in the cold wind, showing no signs of having been attacked.
“What on earth is going on?”
Lu Yuan murmured to himself. He truly couldn’t imagine who on Mingwang Planet could have the ability to block Lord Araya’s group.
After all, it was a team personally led by a Tier Seven Holy Blood, with over a dozen Tier Six powerhouses with silver and Golden Bloodlines, along with hundreds of elite warriors above Tier Four. Such a lineup was enough to destroy ten Ice Extreme Passes.
“Could it be the Leng Family?”
This thought suddenly flashed in Lu Yuan’s mind, and once it appeared, it grew wildly in his heart like weeds. The more he thought about it, the more he felt this possibility was immense.
On Mingwang Planet, the strongest faction is not the Luoho Clan, but the Leng Family, one of the Nine Great Holy Bloods.
People of the Leng Family are imbued with the bloodline of extreme ice. On this land perpetually covered with snow and ice, they thrive, holding a natural home advantage.
Even the Asura, known for their combat prowess, find it difficult to gain an upper hand against the Leng Family under such conditions.
More importantly, the Leng Family has a strong bond with Lin Xuanqing, who is behind Qin Tian, while politically, they stand opposed to the Luoho Clan in a confrontational camp.
Perhaps Lin Xuanqing had already foreseen the Luoho Clan’s actions during the polar night and thus sent the Leng Family to support Ice Extreme Pass in advance.
This could explain the unexpected situation today.
However, such speculation left Lu Yuan in an awkward dilemma.
If it were the previous state of Ice Extreme Pass, he would have full confidence in breaking through, but now, with the situation inside unclear and Lord Araya’s group missing as if evaporated, he is at a loss whether to advance or retreat. Advancing may face unknown formidable resistance, while retreating leaves him unable to answer to the Military Lord.
“Alright, let’s use this bunch of snow beasts to probe first.”
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, secretly making up his mind.
If the snow beasts could successfully breach the walls of Ice Extreme Pass, then it would suggest that the defense inside is not strong. At that point, he would only need to summon a few Tier Six spirit beasts to easily wipe out Ice Extreme Pass and complete the mission.
But if the snow beasts’ attack encounters obstacles, and there are Leng Family members involved, he would definitely choose not to launch a strong attack.
After all, the strength of the Leng Family is evident, and in such circumstances, a strong attack would be like striking a stone with an egg.
He would promptly withdraw from the battlefield and report the situation here truthfully to the Military Lord for further discussion.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, letting the cold air flow through his nasal cavity into his lungs, clearing his mind even further.
He slowly raised his palm, and a white wave of spiritual energy wafted out from his palm like rising mist, quickly spreading across the entire horde of snow beasts.
In an instant, the thousands of snow beasts seemed to be injected with a potion of madness, their already swift speed suddenly accelerating again.
They howled towards the sky, their cries echoing across the ice plain, filled with endless wildness and fury, charging even more frantically towards Ice Extreme Pass.
