Suddenly, the snowdrift in front of him moved, and the movement amplitude was very small. It almost made one suspect that his vision was affected by the wind and snow and he was hallucinating.
"Wait! Stop!"
Wang Li immediately stopped the team's progress.
Everyone cheered up and looked ahead vigilantly.
The tremors of the snowdrift became more obvious, and it was completely impossible to explain it as just being tired eyes.
——The thick snow rose higher and higher, gradually revealing a huge figure.
There were traces of blue-purple muscles hanging on a bleached-white skeleton, dark flames burned deep in the dark eye sockets, thick snow caked on its body and fell rustling with its movements.
Wang Li's heart tightened instantly.
Shoot, it was an undead monster!
Due to the cracks in the abyss, the dark aura tainted by this land could not be dissipated for several years. Therefore, in addition to monsters adapted to the cold climate, it would also attract many monsters of the undead species.
These monsters lingered at night, and when they saw light or smelled the vitality of humans, they would be attracted to them.
They had no intelligence, felt no pain, and would not stop hunting as long as they looked for their prey.
Except for spells of the light, there was no way to kill them. At most, they could only slow down their movements, which was very difficult.
This is why Wang Li was reluctant to act at night.
But he didn't expect that after deliberately restraining their movements, he would still actually attract this skeleton horse!
"Hold it!" Wang Li looked at Wu Huancheng and gave an order in a succinct manner.
He turned his head and shouted to the others, "Let's go another way!"
In the snowy night, Wu Huancheng's light spells lit up, the only beacon in boundless chaos.
The skeleton horse turned its head, a pair of dark eye sockets staring at the sacred light aura not far away, the bones on the body knocked against each other, creating a grating, scalp-tingling sound.
The gloomy cold that seemed to penetrate the depths of his soul rushed towards him.
Wu Huancheng felt even more pressure.
He frowned slightly and strengthened the light from his spells.
The skeleton horse in front of him loomed terrifyingly in the dark night.
It seemed to be trying to get closer, but it was afraid of the magic power of the light system.
The atmosphere was tense.
"You go first!" Wu Huancheng shouted.
In the midst of the chaos, Shi An raised his eyelids sluggishly.
The skeleton in the distance was white, and it was particularly conspicuous in the turbid dark night——
Firewood! It was firewood!
Shi An's eyes lit up.
He went against the wind and stepped forward, step by step.
Wang Li, who was retreating in the distance, suddenly realized that something was wrong. He turned his head and saw Shi An walking in the direction of the skeleton horse.
Facing the biting snowy blizzard, he shouted, "Shi An! Come back soon–"
Wu Huancheng turned his head when he heard the words and immediately saw Shi An appear not far behind him.
A small cluster of orange-red flames rose from the center of the other's furry gloves, looking tiny and weak.
"This monster is not afraid of fire!" Wu Huancheng shouted anxiously.
Undead monsters were only afraid of the light, and other magic powers had no effect on them.
Shi An blinked, showing a puzzled look:
"Eh? Does it not work?"
The skeleton horse in front suddenly raised its front hooves and neighed!
In the next second, the blizzard blew violently, howling like a wolf. The whistling sound pierced his eardrums, and the whole group of people had to crouch on the ground to avoid being blown away in the terrifying wind.
The strong wind lifted the boundless snow, obscuring the view like a hood.
No one could see anything.
Everyone's heart sank.
The monsters who could use other types of powers to defeat opponents are definitely not ordinary undead monsters.
Wu Huancheng struggled to maintain his light spell, and the fragile wall supported his body, becoming the only narrow eye that was not affected by the storm.
He turned his head to look for Shi An but couldn't see him anywhere.
Immediately afterwards, a piercing roar sounded in front of him!
Wu Huancheng was taken aback.
At a very close distance, a burst of flames suddenly penetrated the dark night and exploded!
Entangled in the whistling of the wind, it hovered and danced in the air like a fiery snake.
The extremely scorching temperature instantly hit.
The originally icy, knife-sharp wind was now infused with a layer of scorching heat, and the snow melted and vaporized so quickly that warm moisture hit his face and didn’t even freeze from the temperature.
Wu Huancheng was stunned.
He slowly lowered the staff in his hands, and the faint light he emitted was swallowed up by the fire in an instant.
The wind gradually stopped blowing.
In front of him was a field of dark, scorched earth.
The knee-deep snow had been melted by the heat, exposing charred rocks that stood out among the canyons.
"What's wrong? What happened? Are you hurt?"
The other people hurried forward and asked anxiously.
The wind had blocked their view of the events just now, so they only saw a flash of vermillion smoke amidst the blizzard, and then the wind disappeared, so they immediately stepped forward to support Wu Huancheng.
But……
It looked like he didn’t need their support now.
Wang Li looked around the scene in front of him, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect that in such an extreme environment, Shi An's fire magic could still expel such a terrifying effect.
It was simply unheard of.
