Supreme Tamer

Chapter 311: 189: Ning’s Crushed Ice Domain

Blue-white ice crystals appeared in the somewhat narrow cave, cooling the sweltering area a bit. The blue-white ice crystals began to dance around the Flame Spirit’s position, but these ice crystal dust could not withstand the high temperature of the Flame Vortex, and many quickly melted away, greatly reducing the power of the skill.

“Huhuhuhu

Under the control of the Flame Spirit, three fire serpents slowly emerged, their ferocious bodies radiating intense heat, and lunged at Zeng Linshan’s Ice-Feathered Spirit!

The eighth-stage flame power became even more powerful near the Flame Vortex. The power of the three fire serpents was naturally above level 7. With such a close-range attack, Zeng Linshan’s mid-stage level 7 defense Ice-Feathered Spirit might not be able to withstand it completely.

The Flame Spirit’s fire control was very proficient. After gaining a slight advantage in the attack, various fire skills continuously burned on Zeng Linshan’s Ice-Feathered Spirit, with obvious scorch signs on the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s body.

As the battle continued, the disadvantage of Zeng Linshan’s Ice-Feathered Spirit became more and more apparent, and Zeng Linshan’s face also became somewhat ugly…

“You…you, why is your Water Moon just sitting there and watching? As a support Soul Pet Master, how come you don’t even cast healing!” Zeng Linshan turned his spearhead towards Ye Qingzi, attributing his show of prowess to Ye Qingzi’s Water Moon not casting any healing skills.

Ye Qingzi was very calm and faced Zeng Linshan’s direct confrontation without any change in her eyes. It seemed that in her eyes, there was no existence of Zeng Linshan and his soul pets.

“Let your Ice-Feathered Spirit retreat.” Chu Mu slowly stepped forward, letting Ning cast a few ice walls to block the Flame Spirit’s attack.

After getting a breather, Zeng Linshan’s Ice-Feathered Spirit immediately retreated back. But the annoying Zeng Linshan was still there, arguing non-stop about his failure…

“Let’s fight it together. This Flame Spirit has the advantage of the Flame Vortex, otherwise, my Ice-Feathered Spirit can easily defeat it.” Zeng Linshan said.

“No need. You can just watch from the side.” Chu Mu said indifferently.

“Ning, Ice Air Dance!”

“Li

As the spell was chanted, the same fourth-level Ice Air Dance skill required one second for Zeng Linshan’s Ice-Feathered Spirit to chant, while Ning’s chant time only required half a second, almost completed in an instant!

Blue-white ice crystal dust fluttered, filling the area and causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply. The cold aura slowly enveloped the space.

“You… you better worry about your weak Ice-Feathered Spirit being instantly killed, or else…” Zeng Linshan was clearly dissatisfied with Chu Mu’s arrogance but felt the unusual nature of this Ice Air Dance skill and slowly choked on his words.

The fourth-level ice skill, Ice Air Dance, is a high-level skill of the Ice-Feathered Spirit, with low damage power. Its main function is to decorate the surroundings with ice powder, making it more advantageous for the Ice-Feathered Spirit to fight.

Zeng Linshan’s Ice-Feathered Spirit had cast Ice Air Dance for less than four seconds before the ice crystal dust was completely melted by the Flame Vortex and the Flame Spirit’s high temperature.

However, the Ice Air Dance cast by Ning continued to linger around the cave, suppressing the surrounding flame aura and enveloping the Fire Spirit’s body with ice crystal dust.

“Advanced Xuan Crystal!” The color of the ice crystal dust was blue-white, and Zeng Linshan was not a person without any insight. He could distinguish that Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit was actually controlling advanced Xuan Crystal ice!

There is a difference in strength even among the same energy crystals, and generally, they can be distinguished by color. Zeng Linshan saw that the level 6, ninth-stage Ice-Feathered Spirit was actually using advanced Xuan Crystal ice, and his face showed an astonished expression.

“How can a sixth-stage, ninth-order Ice-Feathered Spirit control advanced Xuan Crystals…” Looking at the blue-white Xuan Crystals lingering around, no matter how much Zeng Linshan didn’t believe it, it was still reality.

At level 6, ninth stage, Ning’s combat power had already exceeded Zeng Linshan’s level 7, fifth-stage Ice-Feathered Spirit by quite a bit, and it was more than enough to face a level 8, fifth-stage Servant Class Fire Spirit!

Ice Air Dance continued to float around the cave, and Ning suddenly let out a long cry. All the ice crystal dust in the sky began to gather, and without needing to chant any spells, they condensed into several powerful Xuan Crystal long spears. The spears stirred up a strong gust of snow, filled the entire cave, and rushed towards the Fire Spirit!

“Crushed Ice Domain, well done!”

Seeing Ning controlling those ice crystal dust, a smile immediately appeared on Chu Mu’s face. The Ice Snow Fruit, valued at 20 million, had indeed produced a powerful effect, bringing the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s control of ice to a higher level!

Crushed Ice Domain, which was the more delicate control of ice attribute skills by the Ice-Feathered Spirit, could make any crushed ice particles rapidly combine into a more powerful ice control skill!

Back in Langhe City when fighting with Lu Tao, Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit had also used the Crushed Ice Domain. However, the current Crushed Ice Domain that Ning used was clearly much stronger. As the Xuan Crystal long spears whistled and pierced through the air, they directly penetrated the Fire Spirit’s body!

The Fire Spirit’s flames dimmed as its body was pierced. When the Ice-Feathered Spirit shot another storm ice spear at its weak point, the flames on the Fire Spirit completely went out…

The battle didn’t last too long, but Ning’s exceptional performance left Zeng Linshan stunned. This wasn’t a mere Warrior Level Ice-Feathered Spirit; it was even more powerful than a higher-level Xuan Crystal Ice Spirit!

The richer the expression on Zeng Linshan’s face, the more amusing Ye Qingzi found it, not understanding why there were so many idiots in this world who overestimated their strength and talked incessantly to prove their worth.

However, Ning’s control of ice powers today had also astonished Ye Qingzi. If it reached the seventh rank, then Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit would have stronger ice control than her Ice and Fire Fairy.

“Uh, this… Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit is really extraordinary. I wonder how he trained it?” After the battle ended, Zeng Linshan looked extremely embarrassed, especially recalling his earlier comment about the “difference between a three-year-old and an adult.” It was clear that his Ice-Feathered Spirit was the child…

“Continue to lead the way.” Chu Mu was also too lazy to talk to this guy and indifferently said.

After witnessing the abnormal level of Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit, if Zeng Linshan still thought of Chu Mu as a mediocre person, he would undoubtedly be a fool. Right now, he didn’t dare to maintain his previous arrogant attitude and instead, “politely” led the way.

The formation of the Flame Vortex was mainly due to the existence of Flame Crystals. After Chu Mu had Fox Elder retrieve the Level 7 Fire Crystal below the Flame Vortex, the vortex gradually disappeared.

There was only one Level 7 Fire Crystal and one unnaturally formed Level 6 Fire Crystal near the Flame Vortex. When the Flame Vortex disappeared, Chu Mu specifically examined the surrounding rocks and found that they were only slightly scorched, but no other fire crystals had formed from the Flame Vortex’s constant burning over the years. This puzzled Chu Mu.

“Which way to go?” Chu Mu was not interested in Level 6 crystals or lower and didn’t delve into it any further.

“We should take the path to the right. This path leads to the other side of the mountain peak, from where climbing up the peak will be much safer.” Zeng Linshan answered immediately, his attitude drastically different from before.

Following the path Zeng Linshan mentioned, they walked about a hundred meters forward before encountering a massive cavern.

Their view suddenly widened as various red odd-shaped rocks filled the cavern. Some fire sparks shot out from cracks in the rock wall, illuminating the cavern. The entire cavern resembled a crude hall made of rocks.

Chu Mu stood at the entrance of the cavern, scanning the naturally formed space and feeling the waves of heat rolling towards him. For some reason, he felt something was off.

“Qingzi, what do you think?” Chu Mu asked Ye Qingzi.

“Logically, this cavern should be the perfect habitat for rock and fire Soul Pets, but the entire cavern is empty; there isn’t a single Soul Pet in sight…” Ye Qingzi immediately expressed her opinion.

Ye Qingzi’s words matched Chu Mu’s thoughts. This cavern was indeed perfect for Soul Pets, yet there were none to be found, which was strange.

“Perhaps a powerful Soul Pet has monopolized this place…” Ye Qingzi added another sentence.

Chu Mu shook his head and said, “There’s almost no sign of life here.”

“Hehe, well, we can just pass through without Soul Pets obstructing us.” Zeng Linshan didn’t seem to have given it much thought. He took the lead, passing through the empty cavern.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were both cautious people. They still stood at the entrance of the cavern, waiting for Zeng Linshan to walk far away without making any move.

“There’s only one possibility: someone has been here before.” After a moment, Chu Mu made this judgment.

“Yes, it’s highly possible. The people from the Elemental Gate should be the first to grasp this information. They should be the first to arrive here. I find it strange that they would let others come to this place first. The chances of anyone accidentally entering here are slim, as hardly anyone would come here with the Sky Crystal Monarch around…” Ye Qingzi said.

“We should be careful, I feel that things aren’t as simple as they seem.” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi jumped into the cavern and slowly followed Zeng Linshan toward the cavern that led to the other side of the mountain peak.

“Fox Elder, are Flame Vortexes fixed in a certain position?” Chu Mu asked.

“It depends on the situation. Some may be fixed, while others may migrate due to changes in the terrain and environment. The one you encountered earlier should be migrating. Young Master, why did you suddenly ask about this?” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu didn’t answer Fox Elder’s question, but his sharp gaze glanced at Zeng Linshan’s back, and his face darkened a bit…
