《Netheril’s Glory 》Chapter 129: Ice rock worm.
Advertisement
Unlike the plot of knight novels, the attack of a legend-level powerhouse was just pure destruction. It didn't leave any of those so-called opportunities or insights, which Punk had now figured out.While searching for Ti Xiaer in the rift valley that was created by the sword of a legendary warrior hundreds of years ago, Punk also tried to find traces of the law, but the result was very disappointing, as let alone find law remnants, he didn't even see any traces of the native creatures.Punk guessed that the most likely reason for this was that his soul level was not enough to perceive the existence of the law, as no matter how hard he expanded his mental perception, all he could sense was the endless cold.
Although Punk was a little disappointed in his heart, such a result was not out of his expectation. After all, if the power of the legendary level was so easy to understand, then the legend level would not be so extreme.
The three people climbed down the rock wall at their fastest speed, but under the constant attack of the freezing wind, whether it was Punk's mana or Bahanger and Kang Kai's battle qi, both were depleting at a very rapid speed.
Although the biting cold wind made the three official-level powerhouses shiver, it still could not freeze the dwarf's mouth."Too cold... Damn it. This old man will freeze to death. How could Ti Xiaer hide in this place? Isn't she afraid of the cold?"
Bahanger's body was covered with a robust earth-attributed battle qi. It was not unreasonable to say that this kind of protection could maintain his body temperature even in the low temperature of one to two hundred degrees below zero. But in this cold wind with some unknown power, he started to shiver even when the temperature only reduced to -40 to -50 degrees.
"Mr. Bahanger, you can see how Mr. Kang Kai is staying silent. You also should not talk here this much. If the local creatures are disturbed, our situation will become dangerous."Punk said helplessly to Bahanger. Although this dwarf was indeed an excellent cannon fodder, but he was not without shortcomings, which could be easily seen from the endless chatter.

But as soon as Punk finished speaking, Kang Kai also broke his silence, and his frozen purple lips moved up and down as he spoke:"Sorry, I'm just too cold to speak. And speaking of cold, I want to clarify that if we can't find Ti Xiaer's lair within an hour, then we may have to return back as our battle qi will not be able to sustain it."
"Don't worry. Like us, Ti Xiaer is also an official-level professional, so if we can't stand the cold for too long, then she also won't fare much better. I believe that after going down another five-minute, it should be the depth where Ti Xiaer is. Then with the help of prophecy spells, we can find her in less than twenty minutes."Punk said confidently. Although he was not major in prophecy, but he had recently obtained a very powerful prophecy spell from the high priest- The Filthy prediction. And in order to be prepared for this kind of situation, he had already readied the spellcasting materials. So Punk believed it would not be too difficult to find the general location of Ti Xiaer.
"That's good! But only finding her will not solve all our problems..."Hearing Punk's answer, Kang Kai did not show a relieved expression. He only looked at the bottom of the rift valley, and a wry smile automatically appeared on his face:"Mr. Punk, I have to ask, but do you have any plan if we meet any "unwelcoming" locals?"
"What is there to think about? Just fuck all of them."Bahanger shook off the snow from his hammer and replied first loudly.
"You are speaking nonsense again, Mr. Bahanger."Kang Kai's smile became even more bitter. He wiped the frost from his dagger, tore off the cloth cover, and then stared down tangledly.
Unlike Bahanger and Kang Kai, who were still interested in joking, Punk was stunned at this time. The mixed feelings in his heart converge into one sentence in the end. What lousy luck!
Just below the three of them, a terrifyingly huge head was staring at them with blood-red eyes that were as big as searchlights. The beast's body was still hidden in the frozen rock wall, but only its head was as big as a double-deck bus. Its head was covered with layers of pale white scales, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth that were about the size of regular ice skates.

This was an official-level creature- The Ice rock worm.
"How is it possible? Although my perception is suppressed due to the effect of this valley, still, how can this kind of wisdomless creature wait patiently for us? Or maybe..."Stormy waves surged inside Punk's heart as he thought of a terrible possibility.
"This thing, can it be Ti Xiaer's pet! Although this kind of monster has no wisdom and will not be able to help spread religion, it is perfect as a door guard. And now, if Ti Xiaer and her pet join forces..."Thinking of this, Punk felt he was sweating even in this extreme cold.
Bahanger and Kang Kai also thought of this possibility soon after. This big guy alone could contain two of the three, and if the remaining one fought Ti Xiaer alone, it could be said that their winning chance would drop to less than 30%. Therefore, Kang Kai and Bahanger both had ashen expressions. On top of that, in this severe cold environment, this ice rock worm could exert its maximum combat effectiveness; on the other hand, the three of them were at a disadvantage in such a place.
Just as the three people were searching around the Ice rock warm for the trace of Ti Xiaer, a projection full of chaotic energy appeared next to the Ice rock worm's head.
"Ah-ha hahaha, little bugs, you've come all this way just to die. Now, are you ready to meet my cute little pet?"
This projection was exactly Ti Xiaer herself.She patted the Ice rock worm's head while laughing hysterically, and her limbs trembled wildly. With the chaotic grey mist revolving around her projection, she looked exactly like a crazy villain boss.
"Bah! It's not clear yet who will die and who will live. When I slam my hammer into your head, maybe then we will find out."Bahanger was the one who felt most irritated. He slammed his hammer on the ground and then spat on the Ti Xiaer's projection as his beard danced in the wind.
"No matter how powerful the evil is, I will never shrink back. This is the teaching that the great Obad-hai gave me."Kang Kai opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in them. The wind-type battle qi covered every part of his body.
But different from Kang Kai and Bahanger, Punk was looking at Ti Xiaer's projection a little playfully at this time.
Even after hearing her threat, not only did he not panic, but he was relieved instead. He put on a smile, looked at Ti Xiaer's floating projection next to the Ice rock worm's head, and said unhurriedly:
"Hello, Ms. Ti Xiaer, we meet again, and if I remember correctly, you said that you would tear me to shreds at that time, but I think you can't do anything to me, can you now?"
"I can do nothing? I will see if you can say that again when my little pet will grind your bones into dust. I'm already looking forward to the scene where you kneel down and beg for mercy, hahaha!"Hearing Punk's words, Ti Xiaer's laugh became even wilder.
But Punk still showed no signs of fear. He looked at Ti Xiaer, who was laughing wildly, and said in a mocking tone:"No, no, Ms. Ti Xiaer, your appearance here as a projection is already a huge mistake. I am afraid that you have lost most of your intelligence already. Just think about your actions, just to give a few threats, you exposed your own weaknesses. So now, with this and combined with some clues on the road, I can now say that you can't leave your hiding place for some reason, so you can only let your little pet stop us, am I right?"
Hearing Punk's ridicule, Ti Xiaer's laughter came to an abrupt end. She silently stared at Punk for a while, but finally facing his mocking eyes, Ti Xiaer could no longer hold her anger and roared hysterically:"So what if I can't act at this moment, my little pet is more than enough to deal with you bugs. Now, kill them quickly, my lovely little Robert…."
