Chapter 1570: Chapter 179 Polar Undead Spiders_4
Xuan Yue held Ah Dai’s large hand and said, "Alright, let’s stop talking about that for now. Let’s first analyze the situation with the enemies we’ve encountered and discuss how to deal with them."
Olivia said, "This time we encountered four types of Undead Creatures. Those bone birds are the weakest and can almost be ignored. As long as Boss Xuan Yue uses a few Light Magic spells, I think they won’t pose any threat to us. As for the Skeleton Soldiers, they’re also easy to handle. As long as we fly in the air, only the flying Skeleton Soldiers can pose a threat. Next time we go, as long as we repel or eliminate them, we’ll be able to easily pass this second hurdle. The real threat when entering the Death Mountain Range starts with the green poison mist emitted by the Zombies. We expended too much magic power there, so when we encountered the Polar Undead Spiders, we had almost no additional strength to contend with them. Therefore, the first problem we need to solve is how to break through the Zombie phase."
Yan Shi said, "Vila is right, that green poison mist is highly corrosive and difficult to withstand. If we had charged at full strength upon first encountering the green poison mist, perhaps we could have reduced a significant amount of consumption." Ah Dai’s eyes lit up, and he said, "I have an idea! My flight altitude limit with dou qi is about a thousand meters, while Sheng Xie can reach over three thousand meters. If, after dealing with the Skeletons, we fly directly to three thousand meters and then head full force towards the center of the Death Mountain Range, we might not only smoothly pass through the Zombie phase but also leave the spiders behind. At the very least, we would only face one type of spider. I suspect that those two types of spiders have abilities related to ice and fire, respectively, but their webbing doesn’t contain pure ice or fire energy, it carries a deathly aura. If we confront them head-on, I am confident in breaking through, but I’m not confident in exterminating them, and we also don’t know if these ice-fire spiders have regenerative abilities. Since we are here to scout the situation, we should engage less and advance more to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Xuan Yue said, "This plan is feasible. Let’s do it this way. We’ll explore the Death Mountain Range again early tomorrow morning. There’s still time now, and we can try several times to find a solution. However, what worries me are the creatures behind the Undead Spiders. I truly have no idea what surprises await us, and those powerful Undead Creatures later on might be even harder to deal with."
Ah Dai said solemnly, "That’s inevitable. Let’s go, we’ll rest in the treehouse and leave early tomorrow. This time, let’s try to push further and avoid using Space Magic for positioning lightly."
The Death Mountain Range remains utterly silent. A few figures shrouded entirely in black clothing appeared on the mountaintop where Ah Dai and others had previously used Space Magic to escape. They were looking around in confusion when one of them spoke in a low voice, "These intruders, without knowing their purpose, have managed to break in here, something not ordinary humans could achieve."
"Hmm, these intruders have strong abilities and there’s someone proficient in Light Magic. The bone bird flocks were severely damaged, almost half of them were completely destroyed by the Divine Energy through the Undead fog. What puzzles me is how these intruders managed to get through the Skeletons and Zombies phases? Both the Zombies and Skeletons seem practically unscathed! This is almost impossible, even if they can fly, they couldn’t have reached here so easily. Could it be that the Pope himself from the Church has come?"
"It’s possible that the people from the Church have long been aware of the crisis and sent someone to scout the Death Mountain Range. It wouldn’t be surprising. Anyway, those people might have died at the hands of the Polar Undead Spiders. If the Church wants to send people to explore the Death Mountain Range, they are underestimating themselves. Not to mention humans, even if that blasted Sky God they worship comes in person, it would still be a challenge to break through the Twelve Tribulations of the Undead. We guarantee that no matter how many experts they send, they will all perish. Let’s go; there are many serious matters we need to attend to." The black mist rose up, and the black figures disappeared into the mist.
At night, Ah Dai embraced Xuan Yue by the Elf Lake. Moonlight filtered through the dense trees to fall on the clear surface of the lake, creating a breathtaking beauty, amplified by the mist over the water. Within such a scene, anyone’s mind would feel extraordinarily soothed.
Xuan Yue leaned her head against Ah Dai’s chest and asked, "Ah Dai, do you still have confidence in completing this mission now?"
Ah Dai tightened his embrace on Xuan Yue’s delicate body and said, "Of course, we’ve only encountered a bit of trouble, which we can totally overcome."
Xuan Yue sighed softly, "But I’m really worried. If the Mountain Range of Undead truly has a Bone Dragon over a hundred meters long as the legends say, how will we cope? Even if you are one of the top Martial Artists on the continent, facing such a powerful enemy would indeed be difficult. Do you truly have confidence?"
Ah Dai took a deep breath and gently kissed Xuan Yue’s blue hair, saying, "I have confidence. As long as you’re by my side, I feel empowered to do anything. Yue Yue, there’s something I want to discuss with you, but you must promise me you will agree."
Xuan Yue was taken aback, "What is it? Just tell me."
Ah Dai insisted, "No, you must agree first, then I’ll say it."
