Chapter 101 Enslaving the Frost Corpse Demon
"Roar roar roar!~"
The battle continued for a while, and the Frost Corpse Demon was still unable to break through Huang Hong and the others' blockade. In addition, Wu Jie's incantations became more and more urgent, which made it even angrier and more anxious.
As the Frost Corpse Demon erupted, the already boiling frost mist suddenly paused, and then surged wildly towards the Frost Corpse Demon.
The Frost Corpse Demon's body was gradually covered with a thick layer of frost armor, and as its size increased, its strength also surged.
The Frost Demon tugged at the chains binding its body, pulling the Stitched Monster uncontrollably towards it. Due to the enormous difference in strength, no matter how the Stitched Monster struggled, it was to no avail.
During this process, the attacks from the Death Knight and the Corpse Demon landed one after another on the Frost Corpse Demon, but only caused a few cracks to appear on the Frost Corpse Demon's icy armor.
Ignoring this, the Frost Demon was clearly determined to cut off one finger rather than injure all ten, and wanted to prioritize eliminating the Stitches, the opponent that could restrict its movements.
Huang Hong certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch the Frost Corpse Demon succeed. After realizing the Frost Corpse Demon's purpose, he didn't attack immediately, but instead began to briefly gather his strength.
He actively activated various innate powers, which converged towards his right fist. The power of the Crushing Fist was stretched to its limit, and under the convergence of surging 'qi', it emitted a warm light.
As Huang Hong unleashed his punch, the force transformed into a roaring golden tiger, exuding an awe-inspiring majesty and domineering power that could intimidate all beasts.
The Frost Corpse Demon realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
The golden tiger slammed solidly into the head of the Frost Corpse Demon, the powerful force shattering its icy armor and leaving numerous wounds on its head.
More importantly, the mental impact of this strike left the Frost Corpse Demon in a dazed state.
Wu Jie, who was using the enslavement technique to erode the spirit of the Frost Corpse Demon, was slightly shaken.
In his original perception, even though the enslavement technique was highly targeted and extremely sophisticated, its progress was still very slow against the Frost Corpse Demon, which was fighting back fiercely and whose actual rank was higher than his. It required accumulating control to a certain critical point before it could advance rapidly.
However, as the Frost Corpse Demon was stunned by Huang Hong's attack and fell into a dazed state, its resistance to the enslavement technique also decreased sharply.
Wu Jie was a decisive person, so he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He immediately activated his other preparations, including a potion to boost mental power in a short time, a secret treasure to promote mental power activity, and a secret technique to make mental power boil.
In an instant, Wu Jie's mental strength surged dramatically, and the progress of the enslavement technique also increased accordingly.
one second...
Two seconds...
three seconds...
In just three seconds, the Frost Corpse Demon recovered from the mental shock.
In fact, if Huang Hong relied solely on his own attacks, he could only stun the Frost Corpse Demon for a second at most, since the gap between the two sides was still quite large.
It was because Wu Jie's enslavement technique eroded the spirit of the Frost Corpse Demon that it was stunned for so long.
In this short period of time, although it was not enough for Wu Jie to complete the enslavement technique, he had already achieved a partial victory. The corrosive spirit was enough to partially affect the actions of the Frost Corpse Demon.
Therefore, the subsequent battles became even less suspenseful, and often resulted in extremely comical scenes...
For example, the Frost Corpse Demon unleashed a swift attack, but the speed of its fist suddenly slowed down halfway through, allowing the Stitched Monster to easily dodge with its chubby body twisting.
For example, the Frost Corpse Demon condensed icy mist into a large number of ice spears to attack, but the landing points of these ice spears were comparable to those of a master of drawing outlines of a human body, all hitting empty air.
As the battle progressed to the seventh minute, the Frost Corpse Demon's movements gradually slowed down and eventually stopped.
Huang Hong and the three undead also stopped fighting at the same time.
Huang Hong looked at Wu Jie with a questioning expression.
Wu Jie's face was extremely pale, a sign of excessive mental exhaustion, but his eyes were sparkling with excitement.
Because the mental threshold of the Frost Corpse Demon has been broken, although the enslavement is not yet complete, all of the Frost Corpse Demon's actions can be blocked. It is only a matter of time before it is completely enslaved.
Furthermore, Wu Jie's strength will also increase dramatically after enslaving the epic-level Frost Corpse Demon.
With a joyful heart, Wu Jie flipped through the spellbook in his hand. The gate to the Death Space opened, and the Frost Corpse Demon walked in with stiff steps.
After closing the dead space, Wu Jie said to Huang Hong, "Hong, it's all better now. Thank you so much this time. Consider it a favor I owe you."
Huang Hong waved his hand and laughed, "What's this talk of favors? We're just getting what we need."
Wu Jie shook his head and said seriously, "Without you, it would probably take me a long time to subdue this Frost Corpse Demon. For a necromancer like me, every step I take is faster than the last. With the Frost Corpse Demon, the quality of my undead army will be upgraded in the short term, and then I will be able to..."
At this point, Wu Jie paused, then said, "Anyway, thank you very much."
Huang Hong nodded slightly, no longer showing any humility.
Wu Jie stayed behind to clean up the battlefield. In addition, he also had to collect the dead and wounded, and plunder the lair of the Frost Corpse Demon.
Huang Hong then headed to the glacial crevice he had seen earlier.
After observation, Huang Hong discovered that there were indeed Spirit Worms here, but strangely, although the number of larvae here was three or four times that of the previous glacial crevice, the number of adult worms was not much more, only 41.
Moreover, the ice layer around the glacial crevasses does not appear to be the result of years of freezing; rather, it seems to have been frequently broken open by human intervention.
Considering the proximity of this place to the Ice Corpse Demon's sleeping ground, Huang Hong had reason to suspect that these Breath Worms might be "snacks" left behind by the Ice Corpse Demon for himself.
To be fair, this Frost Corpse Demon is quite something; it even understands the principles of sustainable development.
After collecting the brain fluid of the adult insects as usual, Huang Hong met up with Wu Jie, who had also finished resting and took out some materials and treasures obtained from the Ice Corpse Demon's Nest, though not many.
Huang Hong didn't dwell on these things and casually accepted them.
Next comes the final part of the transaction: the Earth Vein Essence of the ninth level.
According to their original agreement, Wu Jie only needed to tell Huang Hong about the eighth and ninth floors, as well as the information about the Earth Vein Essence, and the deal would be considered complete.
However, to thank Huang Hong, Wu Jie decided to go with him to the ninth floor to help him find the Earth Vein Essence.
Huang Hong readily agreed, since even if he obtained information about the Earth Vein Essence, he would still need to spend considerable effort searching for it. With Wu Jie's undead legion helping him, it would definitely be much more efficient than if he did it alone.
And so the two continued their journey together, heading deeper into the perpetually frozen abyss.
