Molten Hammer said in a deep voice, “Won’t there be a lot of Demons and experts from the Ice Snow Divine Sect in here?”

Mountain and River Origin shook his head and said, “There are, but they won’t be experts. Because all trial points are under the surveillance of the Giant Royal Court. If someone with too much power or too many people appears nearby, they’re directly captured or even killed. At most, they have scattered masters at the Vitality Stage, otherwise, they would have been exposed long ago. Unless they started infiltrating secretly half a year ago.”

“Do you happen to know anything about the recent activities of the Ice Snow Divine Sect?” Zhou Leng asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

“It would be great if there were people from the Giant Royal Court, but, unfortunately, we know too little,” Mountain River Oak said with a helpless shake of his head.

Finally, Zhou Leng said, “Since there’s no way back, we can only move forward. Next time we encounter people from the Ice Snow Divine Sect, don’t deal heavy-handedly, kill a few troublesome ones first, then interrogate the survivors, I’m sure we can find a way out.”

“Okay!”

The group walked carefully on the smooth ice, listening intently.

The cave passage had too many branches, impossible to distinguish, so they could only try to head towards the snow slope.

After an unknown amount of time, a noisy sound came from ahead.

The group exchanged a glance and quickened their pace forward.

A mixed team of Demons and Beastmen appeared ahead.

Twelve people, each one at the Late Stage of Body Refining.

All of them were ordinary Demons and Beastmen.

No annoying Prayers or Evil Tumor Warriors.

The six exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with fighting intent and smile.

“No need to kill them all.”

“Just disable them all!”

“Go!”

Molten Hammer and Black Barrel directly charged towards the Beastmen.

The Shanhe Brothers were at the front, like two pillars of heaven pressuring forward.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie were the most agile, adapting to changes on both sides.

With no worries, the two Giants were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and the Beastmen and Demons at the same Late Stage of Body Refining couldn’t even withstand a single move from the brothers.

Touch and they were wounded.

In just a moment, the battle was over.

Even though the Shanhe Brothers held back their strength, they still killed four.

The other eight Demons and Beastmen had their limbs chopped off, placed far apart on the ice ground.

Zhou Leng bent down, grabbed the black horn on the forehead of a Red-skinned Horned Demon, and snapped it off.

The Horned Demon screamed miserably.

“Tell me, why are you here, and why is there a mark of the Ice Snow Divine Sect?” Zhou Leng threw the Black Snow Token, which he had searched from them, onto the Horned Demon’s face.

Demon Purgatory is an immensely chaotic world, morality and right and wrong are entirely different from humans, it’s truly the so-called survival of the fittest.

The Horned Demon glanced at the Shanhe Brothers and said dejectedly, “I’ll talk.”

“We are under Mrs. Xiyang’s command. After receiving the order, some participated in the Giant Trial, and some scattered and secretly infiltrated the Avalanche Mountains.”

“Our goal is to assist Lord ‘Frosty Hand’.”

“But what exactly to do, we don’t know and couldn’t possibly know.”

Hearing “Frosty Hand”, everyone felt a shock in their hearts.

Although the Ice Snow Divine Sect operates quietly, the name of Frosty Hand is known to all.

Legend has it that he is a descendant of dragons with the bloodline of Frost Giant Dragon, and is a legendary Demon Spirit Master, equivalent to a Grandmaster of the Human Race.

“Frosty Hand will come?” Zhou Leng asked.

The Horned Demon shook his head, “Not sure. But as per the convention, even if he comes, he will only send out a ‘Demon Spirit Avatar’. These Demon Spirit Masters rarely appear in dangerous places themselves, always preferring to order us around.”

Zhou Leng asked, “Do you Demons have a close relationship with the Demon Spirit World?”

“The Demon Spirit World is divided into many nations and schools. Demons are friendly with some schools and hostile with others, overall it’s more opposition than cooperation.”

“What about with the Ice Snow Divine Sect?”

“The Ice Snow Divine Sect doesn’t care about anything, only focuses on restoring faith. As long as it helps them find the God of Ice and Snow, they are willing to cooperate with any force.”

“I see…”

Zhou Leng and the others continued to interrogate one by one.

Finally, the six gathered to discuss.

“It seems these people are just small fry and don’t know what Frosty Hand wants to do.”

“The more Frosty Hand keeps things secret, the greater the plan must be.”

“Yes.” Mountain River Oak nodded vigorously, looking deeply thoughtful, implying he was also contemplating.

“Since they know a few routes to the outside, we don’t need to venture deep.”

“That’s the reason I captured prisoners earlier, we aim to leave, not to engage in war with the Ice Snow Divine Sect,” Zhou Leng said.

“Indeed…”

The group briefly discussed, then killed a few of the unruly ones, leaving only four survivors tied up with ropes.

The Shanhe Brothers dragged the four Demons, and the team proceeded towards the entrance the Demon and Beastmen came from.

After a few steps, a biting cold wind swept through the passage, passing by.

Everyone felt that there was something indescribable mixed in the wind.

“It’s Detection Magic!” Zhang Xinglie’s solid knowledge immediately played its part.

“Let’s move quickly.”

The group hurried forward.

A resounding voice echoed through all the passages.

“Giant Dragon!” Mountain River Oak whispered.

“Faster!”

Everyone frowned, their expressions heavy.

Suddenly, a strange aura came from behind, creating an indescribable sense of oppression.

“It’s a Giant Dragon, likely at the Vitality Stage, stop now,” Mountain and River Origin concluded.

The six looked at each other, Zhang Xinglie killed the last Demon with a punch each.

The six turned, positioned themselves, and looked at the rapidly approaching black silhouette upfront.

The black shadow approached, changing from black to light green.

Green Dragon.

The six people frowned in unison; the Green Dragon was not strong, but it was as disgusting as the Evil Tumor Warrior.

Because they wield the power of corrosion and venom.

Some Green Dragons have also learned the Demons’ disease and Dark Magic, making them troublesome casters and melee fighters alike.

A Green Dragon with a body length of five meters flew close, its wings flapping, stirring up a whirlwind.

The aura of the dragon swept toward them, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

The Green Dragon raised its head and spread its wings, descending slowly with an imposing entrance.

“Hmm?” The Green Dragon’s gold-and-black pupils saw all six people, finally looking toward the Mountain and River Origin, and its pupils narrowed slightly.

As it descended, it displayed a fierce appearance, and its cold giant language echoed through the corridor.

“I am the personal guard of Her Majesty the great Queen of Red Eyes, Jade Wings, you all…”

Its two sturdy hind legs landed on the ice surface, suddenly sliding, then both legs skidded.

“Ouch…” The Green Dragon’s hind claws scratched frantically on the ice with a hissing sound, hastily spreading its wings on the ice to barely stand firm.

The atmosphere on the scene shifted from tense to awkward.

“A little slip, not important.” Jade Wings actually volunteered clear and fluent giant language.

Then, it repeated in both Chinese and Dwarven languages.

It actually said it three times in total.

The eyes of Zhou Leng’s group flickered. Is there something wrong with this Green Dragon’s brain?

Molten Hammer said, “We generally speak Chinese.”

“Chinese is hard, damn it’s tough,” Jade Wings insisted on speaking in a highly proficient manner, with a hint of an uncertain regional accent.

Jade Wings cleared its throat, propped up its wings to stand tall, slightly opened its mouth, showing a full mouth of sharp dragon teeth, glared its eyes, and restored its dignity.

“Who are you?” Jade Wings’ gaze swept over everyone.

Mountain and River Origin said, “We are Trial Takers of the Giant Trial, we entered here by mistake and will leave immediately. If you want to fight, wait until the Giant Trial is over, then I will personally duel you.”

“A Half-blood Giant? Mastery of True Qi? Hmph…” Jade Wings’ eyes moved as it said, “The great Frosty Hand Master is about to arrive, just stand here and wait.”

All six people inhaled sharply; not to mention Frosty Hand’s true form, even an avatar was not something six people could handle.

That Detection Magic just now must have been Frosty Hand’s technique.

Such a large-scale, long-distance spell, ordinary Innate level couldn’t cast it.

Zhou Leng suddenly said, “Kill him and run!”

The six attacked in unison, charging at Jade Wings.

“No sense of honor!” Jade Wings cursed, its body unexpectedly flying back at an unbelievable speed while its wings flapped to fan out a wall of green wind that filled the corridor.

Worried about poison, everyone quickly held their breath and retreated.

The green wind wall forced them back, but it seemed to contain no poison.

The wind wall shattered, and everyone looked ahead.

Jade Wings retreated sixty meters, and the ground between them turned into a bubbling green swamp.

A miasma of rot wafted up.

Dark green poisonous vines climbed the walls, swaying in the wind.

A layer of poisoned arrows arranged above, a magical trap.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, setting so many traps in such a short time; what a formidable technique.

It’s impossible to act.

“Run!” Zhou Leng ordered, and the six of them turned to run.

Jade Wings was momentarily stunned, how could someone use the same tactic as itself?

It frowned, recalling the terror of Frosty Hand and the roars of the Queen of Red Eyes, it sighed and dispelled the magic traps ahead.

Magical glows shimmered all over its body, densely packed with twelve layers of spell protection; it kicked off the ground, flying into the air, and rushed at Zhou Leng and the others swiftly.

Before getting close, Jade Wings opened its mouth, spewing a dark green mist that spread over hundreds of meters instantly.

Zhou Leng and the others blocked their noses and mouths, slowing their pace.

Seizing their hesitation, Jade Wings swept past from above.

The group sensed the roaring wind but as they tried to attack, it had already flown away.

“Watch your feet.”

The six slowed down again.

After a few steps, the ground ahead bubbled with toxic swamp, poisonous vines dangled on each side, and toxic mechanisms lined the top.

The mist cleared, the corridor ahead extended three hundred meters, filled with magical traps.

Jade Wings stood across the distant poison swamp, body standing tall, grimly majestic.

“Come over here, you all!”

The six looked at each other; such a spellcasting dragon was far more troublesome than a melee dragon.

Zhou Leng bent down, took a sausage from the Magic Spirit Bag, and dipped it into the liquid of the poison swamp.

Sizzle…

Thick smoke rose from the sausage, corroding in an instant and spreading upward, forcing them to toss it all away.

“Stronger than the Evil Tumor Warrior, can’t cross,” Zhou Leng said.

“We’ll have to turn back,” Zhang Xinglie said.

“We can’t just sit and wait for death.”

The team immediately turned and fled.

“Run, I’ve blocked the way; what happens next is none of my concern,” Jade Wings’ voice echoed from afar.

The group remained somber, continuing to run, preparing to find another passage.

Soon, a team composed of Demons and Beastmen approached at a brisk pace.

Over thirty of them.

At the back of the team, a Black Dragon flapped its wings, flying slowly.

The Black Dragon said something in Dragon Language, prompting the Demons and Beastmen to charge with a roar.

“Everyone, prepare for anything,” Zhou Leng said.

“With wolves ahead and tigers behind, we might as well fight!” Molten Hammer spat on the wall.

“The Black Dragon is mine.”

Mountain and River Origin, cursing in Dragon Language at the Black Dragon, shouted, “You gutter-dwelling little worm, I am your Giant grandfather!”
