466: Frost Tempered Pixiu

Although these monsters were hideous and seemed difficult to deal with, their attack power was actually too weak to hurt Tang Ku and the others at all.

These seemingly terrifying creatures were also surprisingly fragile in terms of defense, which was why Tang Ku was surprised.

Living in such a harsh environment, if they needed to hunt, they definitely wouldn't have evolved to only this level.

This thing... is strange!

The hundred or so monsters were wiped out in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. The group turned to look around, realized there was no other movement, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, intending to continue forward.

However, Tang Ku narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not over yet..."

Red Boy laughed, "Holy Monk, you are joking. These guys are fragile; they couldn't even take one strike from my spear... Don't worry... We..."

Whoosh!

He had just taken a step forward when he suddenly felt his footing give way. His legs were instantly grabbed tightly by something and violently yanked downward...

Tang Ku was quick to react. With a flash, he had already lifted him up and then violently tossed him upward. Directly beneath Red Boy's feet, a monster was hanging there.

Tang Ku clenched his right fist, utilizing the Great Wilderness Divine Fist's "Burial of the Earth" stance, combined with his insight into the Power Law, and smashed his fist fiercely onto the monster's head.

Boom!

Purple blood splattered out. Where it landed, the accumulated snow hissed and instantly melted into a large patch of open ground. A palm-sized purple crystal flew out from the monster's head and fell with a clatter. Nearby, Black Mountain caught it and stared at it with a strange expression.

A rustling sound came from the surrounding snow again, as if something was moving, but it dared not approach.

"The weak point is the head!" Tang Ku placed Red Boy aside and clapped his hands, "You should have smashed their heads earlier!"

"How did you figure that out? Do you have some special ability?" Tang Xian asked.

Tang Ku naturally wouldn't tell him about Spiritual Awareness Microscopic. He just spread his hands and said, "Come on, if you observed carefully, you could tell. Those monsters were full of holes from Red Boy's stabs, but did a single drop of blood flow out? Also, after they landed, there should have been some corpses or limbs left on the snow, slowly sinking, but they completely disappeared after falling into the snow. This shows that their mobility was still intact, they weren't dead at all... Do I need to say more?"

"Hehe, this punch has opened the door to a new world... Hmm, these guys should be scared by you for now and won't approach again!" Tang Xian laughed.

Sure enough, although the rustling in the snow grew louder, not a single monster dared to come out and ambush them again.

"Let's go, we'll be there soon..." Tang Ku smiled, "The only advantage of this kind of monster is that it can hide in the snow, and it has extremely strong self-healing abilities. As long as the head doesn't suffer a fatal injury, it shouldn't die. But its attack power is pitifully weak, just at the level of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator!"

Tang Xian said with a smile, "This region is so vast, there should be more than one type of monster, right? Don't forget, this thing can adapt to this extreme cold, so could there be monsters that can adapt to magma?"

"Whether there are or not, we'll deal with it when we meet them. If they are all at this level, we really don't have anything to fear!"

Red Boy had been startled by the monster just now and was feeling a bit ashamed and angry. "When I meet similar monsters again, I will stab them one by one, and blow their heads up with my spear!"

Everyone laughed and continued moving forward.

Now, they were only about ten kilometers away from the core area. For them, this distance was basically a matter of a minute or two.

Sure enough, before long, Tang Ku gradually saw the specific appearance of that area. It really was an oasis. No matter how cold the outside environment was, this place actually had a forest, a grassland, and even rivers and mountains. Its total area was probably similar to the city-state of Singapore, and the environment looked quite nice.

And on that visible open space, there seemed to be a very prosperous town. People were coming and going, and it seemed very lively. On the outermost side of the town, in the direction of Tang Ku and the others, a large gate-like archway stood there. On both sides of the gate, inside and outside, there were two soldiers who seemed to be wearing armor. They must have been the guards on duty there.

Just as Tang Ku and the others were gradually approaching the oasis, a team of a dozen or so people, wearing soft armor covered with some kind of animal hide, and holding swords, spears, and bows, walked towards them.

The leader of this group seemed to have discovered Tang Ku and the others' tracks long ago and couldn't help but raise his fist to signal the people behind him to stop. However, in his line of sight, Tang Ku and the others were walking through the wind and snow like the wind, leaving only shallow footprints on the thick snow, which made him feel very shocked.

"Stop... Who... Who are you? Are you from Xituo Country? How did you enter the Mo Wen Plains during the Cambrian Season? Are you not afraid of death?"

The leader was a big bearded man. Seeing that they were not Mortals, he couldn't help but shout loudly.

Tang Ku and the others looked at each other. They only heard this person chattering, but they didn't understand what he was saying at all.

"This is a language barrier. Among us... who understands Asura language?" Tang Ku said, rubbing his temples.

Tang Xian laughed, "I have a way..." As he spoke, his hand reached for his belt again...

Seeing that the group didn't respond, the bearded leader thought they hadn't heard clearly because of the strong wind and snow, so he wanted to come up and ask. Suddenly, his nose twitched, and his body retreated explosively. "You... you encountered Frost Quenched Xiu?"

Tang Ku and the others were stunned. Suddenly, they heard the rustling sound in the snow starting again. Immediately after, hundreds of the monsters from just now leaped up and pounced toward that group of a dozen or so people...

The Frost Quenched Xiu that the bearded man spoke of was this kind of creature. They were about the same size as a human, but their movement speed was extremely fast, and they had extremely strong recovery capabilities. Unless you used the divine weapons refined by their tribe to strike their heads, they would never die.

The hunting team led by the bearded man had never seen hundreds of Frost Quenched Xiu gathered together. The biggest scene they had ever seen was only one or two.

"Quick, quick... set up a formation, set up a formation... You outsiders, get out of the way..."

The bearded man was a kind-hearted person. He knew his own people would die at the hands of these monsters, but he couldn't let these ignorant outsiders die here too, so he shouted with all his might.

Holding a curved blade, the ten hunters behind him all raised their bows and arrows, their expressions solemn, as if they were prepared to die with these monsters.

However, just at the moment they thought they were doomed, a figure flew from not far away, smashing a monster's head to pieces like lightning, and smiled at the same time: "Need some help?"
