Chapter 174: Snow Mountain

Chapter 174: Snow Mountain

After breaking the illusion, she briefly observed her surroundings.

The true form of the Evil God did not appear.

This should be a newly born Evil God.

Based on the intensity of the illusion just now, if it truly was a newly born Evil God, its potential was not low.

If not cleaned up thoroughly, it could easily develop into a serious disaster.

As for those Cultists with red lights glowing in their eyes? Deya acted without any mercy.

The Light Spears hovering in the sky suddenly exploded.

Countless tiny, shattered bits of light fell from the sky, covering all those Cultists.

Their withered bodies, under the attack of the light fragments, burned up quickly like ignited firewood.

Not a single Cultist was innocent.

Especially these Cultists who had been transformed by the Evil God’s power into their current state.

To obtain the Evil God’s power, they had to personally conduct a Blood Sacrifice to the Evil God…

Even a child Cultist, as long as they possessed the Evil God’s power, they were absolutely not innocent!

After cleaning up these Cultists who tried to attack her while she was in the illusion, Deya looked toward the Deserted Village.

When she walked to the village entrance, the entire ground of the Deserted Village shook.

It was as if a Colossal Beast was about to burst out from underground.

The red-eyed bats scattered and flying within the Deserted Village spontaneously gathered in the air, forming a bizarre female face…

Seeing this female face, Deya was slightly taken aback.

A Magic Rune Array appeared on her outstretched hand.

From the array, a large number of golden Light Ribbons surged out and stabbed into the ground.

The chaotic Deserted Village abruptly came to a halt after the Light Ribbons pierced the ground.

That bizarre female face also began to distort.

A sharp, ear-piercing shriek suddenly appeared in the air.

The shriek was very effective at affecting people’s minds, but it could not bring the slightest influence to the young girl.

Soon, numerous rays of light burst through the ground, overflowing from the cracked parts.

The distorted face at the center of the Deserted Village completely dissipated.

The gathered bats turned into dense points of falling firelight as they descended from the air.

After the Magic Rune Array in the young girl’s hand disappeared, the entire Deserted Village completely weathered away.

Only some residual traces on the ground remained, showing that a village had once existed here.

As for the bones underground that were unearthed by the earlier tremor, let the nearest Church members handle them.

This newly born Evil God’s origin was very unusual…

“Witches… have there been so many appearing lately?” Deya thought with some puzzlement as she quickly left the area.

She had an impression of that bizarre face the Evil God revealed earlier.

The Sanctuary Church had a book recording information about Witches.

Even if it didn’t catalog all Witch information, it recorded at least eighty percent.

She had memorized that book thoroughly.

That bizarre face just now was the appearance of a Witch recorded in that book!

Unlike neutral Witches like Dan Marina or Loris, that Witch was very dangerous! She had caused numerous disasters.

However, her actions were too reckless.

The Sanctuary Church once launched a large-scale operation, severely injuring that Witch and causing her to lose all trace!

And now her traces had reappeared.

Did this mean she had recovered from the injuries she once suffered?

This was not a good sign.

This matter had to be reported to the Sanctuary Church headquarters immediately.

As for herself, Deya planned to check the area nearest that was related to that Witch.

After all, that place was one of her frequent activity zones before she was severely injured and went into hiding.

The Sanctuary Church would naturally not overlook a place deeply connected to a Witch.

Originally, they wanted to destroy it, but that place seemed to have been manipulated by that Witch using some method.

Even if it was completely destroyed, it would restore itself after some time.

Later, after repeatedly confirming that the place posed no major danger as long as one didn’t foolishly smash stones there, and even though it had special sky-changing factors, it had no direct harm and couldn’t be destroyed, the Sanctuary Church listed it as a Lockdown Zone and left it alone.

Moreover, because the place was too remote, it was impossible to keep constant watch…

“Achoo! Ugh, this place is awful.” Zheng Yichen’s eye twitched slightly as he looked at the massive Snow Mountain ahead.

He checked the map again.

Unnamed Snow Mountain… Tsk, that careless woman Dan Marina. Probably because there were too many place names, she didn’t want to write so many words when making this map.

To explain using her words, it would probably be something like: ‘I know what every place is called. Using this map is just to check the direction. I’ll recognize it immediately when I get there. So why make this thing so troublesome?’

That sentence was Zheng Yichen’s mental substitution based on her personality.

In reality, she probably didn’t even think she needed a map.

Approaching this icy mountain, enduring the quite uncomfortable feeling, the air here seemed to contain ice particles.

With every breath, he could feel fine ice chips rubbing against his respiratory tract.

Even his Dragon Clan body felt the cold.

This cold was not ordinary cold, but a penetrating cold.

It simply ignored cold resistance.

Upon contact with the air here, that chilling air seeped into the body from everywhere…

However, the cold Zheng Yichen felt was only on the surface layer of his skin.

The power generating this cold was rapidly assimilated upon contact with the Mana inside his body.

It was just that the surface skin felt cold like frozen brittle steel.

With every movement, Zheng Yichen was somewhat concerned whether his Scales would crack because of it.

He took out a lump of iron and smashed it against the ice layer beneath his feet.

Logically, with the chill here, this iron lump would probably shatter.

Instead, it was the ice that broke…

“Huh!? Still discriminatory? Does this cold have no effect on inanimate objects?” Zheng Yichen put away the cold iron lump, muttering to himself.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

There were many hidden things moving in the blindingly white snowfield…

Snow blindness from the glare? Zheng Yichen wondered what that was.

His dragon eyes wouldn’t be dazzled.

After observing for a moment, Zheng Yichen took his first step.

A completely translucent, nearly invisible creature in the snow suddenly attacked his chest.

Zheng Yichen’s response was particularly simple.

A large handful of pigment powder was thrown out.

The pigment had extremely strong adhesion.

Dots of color attached to the creature attacking him, also exposing the nearby transparent creatures.

“Huh!? What’s this? Deep Cold Spiders?”

Zheng Yichen slapped the Ice Spider that first attacked him, which was over a meter in size with eight bladed legs, pressing it heavily onto the ground.

A crackling sound of shattering immediately followed.

Its body really seemed to be made of congealed ice.

Glancing at the surrounding Ice Spiders that all started moving in response to his counterattack, Zheng Yichen skipped the step of summoning the Magic Weapon Summoning Book.

Attacking with both hands, he spread his arms wide, grabbing a Berserker’s Axe in each hand…
