256: Mysterious Ice Beast and Cold Pearl

Mu Feng had originally planned to just go directly and fight, but seeing so many Core Formation Yao Beasts gathered together, he could only think of another way.

"Hmm, I'll go take a look first."

After thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with any good ideas.

Mu Feng shook his head.

He stopped thinking and instead chose to go and see the specific information of those Mystic Ice Beasts before making a decision.

.....

A few kilometers wasn't far.

But Mu Feng flew for a full seven or eight minutes.

Nothing else.

This place was too cold.

This made Mu Feng's desire to improve his Physical Body's cold resistance even stronger.

After climbing over a few snow mountains.

Mu Feng arrived in front of an Ice Valley.

Below the Ice Valley, a large group of huge Yao Beasts with long white fur were resting.

Needless to say, those were the Mystic Ice Beasts he was looking for.

Seeing this, Mu Feng immediately concentrated his attention and began to investigate these Mystic Ice Beasts.

【Ice Fist: The Mystic Ice Beast's fists are incredibly powerful, and their attacks have a freezing effect. If hit, there's a high probability of being frozen.】

"There are still quite a few Sixth and Seventh Rank Yao Beasts. How am I supposed to play this?"

With a glance.

Aside from a very small number of Fifth Rank young beasts, all of these Mystic Ice Beasts were at least Sixth Rank.

There were also quite a few Seventh Rank ones.

The most powerful among them was a Mystic Ice Beast whose size was different from the others.

His Realm had already reached the threshold of an Eighth Rank Yao Beast.

Just now, when Mu Feng used his Divine Sense to investigate, the other party even glanced in his direction.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and covered himself with the spirit hidden toxic wall skin, he might have already been discovered.

However, this action also scared Mu Feng half to death.

His current location was not far from the Mystic Ice Beasts' lair. If the other party discovered him and came out in full force, he might really be in trouble here.

"They are all powerful Yao Beasts. It seems that large-scale hunting is impossible."

"I can only find a way to lure out one or two, and finish them quickly."

"Get the cold pearl from their bodies, and then run away!"

Mu Feng had originally wanted to extract cold pearls on a large scale, just like he did when hunting those Lava Giants earlier.

However, after seeing the strength of these Mystic Ice Beasts, he immediately gave up on that idea.

At this moment, he only wanted to lure out one or two Mystic Ice Beasts and secretly hunt them.

But how to lure out the Mystic Ice Beasts inside was another problem.

When fighting the Lava Giants before, Mu Feng used a stratagem to lure the tiger away from its mountain.

He let Little Lizard lure them out.

However, this strategy couldn't be used here.

The reason was simple.

It was that the weather here was too cold, and Little Lizard's speed would be greatly affected.

Moreover, these Mystic Ice Beasts were so strong and had many slowing skills.

If Little Lizard was released to lure them, it would definitely be in grave danger.

There was no need to sacrifice the highly adaptable Little Lizard here for some cold pearls.

However, if he didn't use this method.

It would be really difficult to lure out those Mystic Ice Beasts.

【System Reminder: Didn't you obtain two Three-legged Crow crown feathers before? That thing is an ultimate Yang object, and it's a mortal enemy of these Mystic Ice Beasts. If you release them, it will definitely attract those Mystic Ice Beasts to investigate.】

【System Reminder: However, this action will be very dangerous. If not handled well, it's easy to expose your position. If you are surrounded by these Mystic Ice Beasts, you will surely die!】

【System Reminder: Whether to try or not, you can consider it carefully.】

Just as Mu Feng was at a loss, red prompts appeared before his eyes.

"The Three-legged Crow's crown feathers have this effect!"

Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

However, the subsequent prompts made him hesitate again.

Indeed.

If he took out the crown feathers, it would be easy to expose his whereabouts.

If only a small number of Mystic Ice Beasts came to investigate, that would be fine.

But if the entire main force came out.

Then he would be losing more than he gained.

Whether to use this method or not, he still had to consider it carefully first.

"Hmm... it seems there's no other better way besides this."

"Let's give it a shot!"

After thinking for a while.

Mu Feng still couldn't come up with a better idea.

He could only grit his teeth and go for it!

But he couldn't be too reckless.

Before releasing the crown feathers, it's best to assume the worst-case scenario.

Also, the escape route must be planned in advance.

The placement of the crown feathers also needed careful consideration.

He should try to keep them as far away from the Mystic Ice Beast lair as possible.

This way, relying on his excellent Divine Sense, he could anticipate the enemy's moves in advance.

If too many Mystic Ice Beasts came, he would just run away directly.

After planning out all possible scenarios in his mind and ensuring that he could retreat safely no matter what happened.

Mu Feng followed the System's instructions.

He took out the Three-legged Crow crown feathers he had obtained in the Piaomiao Garden Secret Realm at a slight distance from the Mystic Ice Beast lair.

"So warm."

These Three-legged Crow crown feathers truly lived up to their name as ultimate Yang objects. As soon as Mu Feng took them out of his Storage Ring, the temperature around him rose significantly.

He, who was originally still shivering, felt warm all over under the warmth of these crown feathers.

There was an indescribably comfortable feeling.

"Roar!"

It was pretty much as the System prompt said.

Those Mystic Ice Beasts seemed to be very sensitive to this ultimate Yang object.

As soon as the Three-legged Crow crown feathers were taken out, there was a commotion in the Mystic Ice Beast lair.

After a few roars.

Three Mystic Ice Beasts walked out of the lair, and looking at their path, it was almost exactly where the crown feathers were located.

Needless to say, they must have come for these crown feathers.

"Three of them, that's a bit of a small problem."

"Should I do it?"

Mu Feng released his Divine Sense and found that the three Mystic Ice Beasts that came out were two Sixth Rank and one Seventh Rank.

This made him a bit hesitant.

His current strength would be very strenuous to deal with three Mystic Ice Beasts simultaneously.

And there was also a Seventh Rank one among them.

One careless mistake and he would be in trouble.

If he couldn't resolve them quickly, he would easily be surrounded and killed by the approaching main force.

"There should be a chance."

"But I need to set up in advance and calculate the time it takes for them to arrive."

After weighing it repeatedly.

Mu Feng felt that he still had some chance.

However, this chance required the cooperation of the Mystic Ice Beasts.

That's right.

He had to calculate the distance for these Mystic Ice Beasts to reach his position, and then, using the Sacrificial Thunder Art from before, activate the Sacrificial Thunder Art in advance.

This way, when the other party arrived, he could directly attack them with thunderous means.

However, this pre-activation of the Sacrificial Thunder Art greatly tested whether the other party would cooperate.

After all, the Sacrificial Thunder Art was powerful, and its activation process would definitely produce powerful energy.

If the other party sensed the danger in advance and chose not to come.

Then his efforts would be in vain.

Not to mention the True Essence consumed.

He had the ten thousand year spirit liquid in hand, so he could slowly recover it.

What he was afraid of was that this power would alarm the Mystic Ice Beasts in the lair.

If they came out in full force in advance, Mu Feng's lure plan would be a complete failure.

"Hmm. I feel like it's worth a try."

"Anyway, the worst-case scenario is just failure."

After thinking for a while.

Mu Feng felt that he could try it first.

Trying might not succeed, but not trying would definitely fail.

After deciding to go for it.

Mu Feng directly released the Extreme Lightning Bottle.

He infused spiritual power to activate the red heavenly lightning of the Extreme Lightning Bottle.

Then he began to form hand seals, starting the release of the Sacrificial Thunder Art.

Mu Feng guided the Sacrificial Thunder Art while releasing his Divine Sense to check on the situation of the Mystic Ice Beasts.

Soon.

He received both bad news and good news.

The bad news was that as soon as he began guiding the Sacrificial Thunder Art, the Mystic Ice Beasts in the lair discovered the anomaly.

They had already begun to organize their forces, and he believed it wouldn't be long before they all came out and rushed towards him.

He didn't have much time left to act.

The good news was that the three Mystic Ice Beasts were not scared by this lightning power.

They were rapidly approaching him.

If nothing unexpected happened.

They should arrive the moment he finished guiding the Sacrificial Thunder Art.

If everything went smoothly, he would still have time to escape after dealing with these three Mystic Ice Beasts.

The speed of the few Mystic Ice Beasts was very fast.

Mu Feng had just retracted his Divine Sense when their traces appeared in his sight.

The few Mystic Ice Beasts were extremely ferocious.

As soon as they met.

Countless snowballs came smashing towards Mu Feng's head.

After investigating the information of these snowballs.

Mu Feng naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to use a sword shield to block them.

Instead, he took out the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket hanging at his waist.

With a flash of colorful light.

The countless flying snowballs were all collected into the bottom of the flower basket by the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket.

Seeing that the snowball attack failed.

The Mystic Ice Beasts pushed off with their legs and swung their fists, smashing towards Mu Feng!

They were very smart.

They immediately knew that the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket could counter their snowballs.

So they planned to directly use Physical Body attacks on Mu Feng.

"You came at just the right time!"

Seeing the Mystic Ice Beasts swinging their fists at him, Mu Feng was not surprised but delighted.

He was just worried that if the Sacrificial Thunder Art's target was too far, it wouldn't be able to attack all three at once.

Now that they were all coming towards him.

He could just solve them all at once!

"Die for me!"

A cold light flashed in Mu Feng's eyes.

His fingers quickly formed seals.

After all the lightning power had been raised to its maximum, he pointed forward with his finger.

A destructive red Divine Thunder attacked the three approaching Mystic Ice Beasts!

Among the three beasts, the Seventh Rank Yao Beast was the first to discover the terror of this red Divine Thunder.

Seeing the Divine Thunder attack.

It actually stopped its steps in mid-air.

Then it dodged to both sides without looking back!

The Seventh Rank Yao Beast's intelligence had already awakened.

It knew how to maximize benefits and avoid harm.

However, just as it was about to leave, a Five Elements copper ring suddenly appeared on its body. Its body, which was originally fleeing, fell straight down like a piece of wood under the lock of the copper ring.

This copper ring was nothing else.

It was precisely the Five Elements Ring that Mu Feng had just obtained not long ago.

Seeing the opponent escape for a moment.

Mu Feng immediately made his move.

"Roar!"

The Seventh Rank Yao Beast's True Essence was almost three times that of Mu Feng's.

So it wasn't completely locked down.

Instead, it struggled to get up, trying to break free from the Five Elements Ring on its body.

Unfortunately.

Time didn't wait for it.

The terrifying red heavenly lightning arrived on its body almost the instant it stood up again.

Boom!

With an earth-shattering roar.

The two Sixth Rank Mystic Ice Beasts in front died first.

Leaving behind two white, round pearls emitting faint cold Qi.

As for the Seventh Rank Mystic Ice Beast, although its magic power and movement were locked by the Five Elements Ring.

Because its own Physical Body was strong enough, it was not directly killed by the Sacrificial Thunder Art.

"Such strong defense!"

Mu Feng was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect the defense of this Seventh Rank Mystic Ice Beast to be so astonishing.

It could still survive even when locked by the Five Elements Ring.

"What a pity..."

The Sacrificial Thunder Art was his most powerful attack method at the moment.

If it couldn't kill in one blow.

Then it would be unrealistic for him to kill this thing again in a short time.

And time didn't allow him to delay any longer.

Because in his Divine Sense, those Mystic Ice Beasts had already come out in full force and were heading towards him.

He sighed.

Mu Feng beckoned and collected the two fallen white spheres.

【System Reminder: cold pearl x1】

【System Reminder: cold pearl x1】

Fortunately, with the pearls in hand, his mission was considered complete.

Although it was a bit regrettable that he couldn't kill this Seventh Rank Mystic Ice Beast.

But that was unavoidable.

The enemy's reinforcements had already arrived.

Being too greedy would easily lead to trouble.

He collected the placed Three-legged Crow crown feathers.

Mu Feng began to flee.

After flying a short distance, he retrieved the Five Elements Ring.

"Roar!"

Without the restriction of the Five Elements Ring, the Seventh Rank Mystic Ice Beast roared in anger and furiously chased after Mu Feng.

Following behind it were seventy or eighty Sixth and Seventh Rank Mystic Ice Beasts.

Their speed in the snow was extremely fast.

Unfortunately.

Mu Feng had already chosen his escape route when he made his move.

After pulling away from the Mystic Ice Beasts for a certain distance.

Mu Feng took out the spirit hidden toxic wall skin from his body and put it on.

Completely erasing their traces.

"So many of them came, good thing I ran fast, if I had delayed any longer, it would have been hard to escape!"

Looking at the vast army of Mystic Ice Beasts chasing him along his escape route, Mu Feng felt a lingering fear.

Especially that one Seventh Rank Mystic Ice Beast that was about to transform, its speed was even more astonishing.

If he hadn't decisively given up just now.

He might not have even been able to use this invisibility.

"They're really giving me Face, coming out in such numbers, aren't they afraid their home will be stolen?"

"Hmm, wait!"

Speaking of stealing home.

A bold idea suddenly came to Mu Feng's mind.

That was, he could completely do the opposite.

While the other party was chasing him, he could directly go and steal their lair!

He had just used his Divine Sense to investigate.

Those Mystic Ice Beasts had all come out.

There were only two Sixth Rank Mystic Ice Beasts guarding the lair.

If he went to steal their home, the chances were very high.

And according to his experience, wherever there were so many Yao Beasts, there would definitely be Heaven And Earth Treasure growing!

If he could successfully steal their home, he would definitely make a fortune!
