Chapter 998 Ice Fortress

When the astrological spell card in Bai Huo's hand was lit, the ice fortress hidden in the gap between time and space revealed its true appearance to everyone. Large swaths of ice walls that looked like blades suddenly appeared on the originally empty ice field. Layers of ice barriers rose up on both sides of the road like the fangs of wild beasts. In the dark night sky in the distance, something like an aurora appeared. , and like a mirage, and those translucent phantoms quickly solidified under the starlight, and in an instant they became towering city walls and pointed towers. As Hao Ren drove forward, the surrounding light and shadows were constantly changing rapidly. The original Arctic ice sheet scene and the hidden ice fortress appeared alternately, making it almost difficult to distinguish what was real and what was illusion. And when everything finally stabilized, everyone had arrived at the gate of a towering giant city, and the Demon Hunter's "Millennium Palace" welcomed visitors with its incredible majesty.

Just like the name of this fortress, Ice Fortress is a castle of ice and snow standing in the far north. The word "ice" not only comes from the thousands of miles of ice in the North Pole, but also from the building materials of this castle. . Everyone was stunned to find that this was an "ice city" in the true sense: a huge, almost cliff-like ice wall stood in front of them, completely frozen with the ground under their feet. Numerous narrow windows and downward-extending skates were built with various techniques. Layers of battlements and watchtowers stood on the top of the fortress. They looked like strange beasts dormant in the darkness of the polar night. Between these structures, you can see Countless prismatic spiers with rough lines and eerie beauty shine like magic lighthouses in the night sky like lighthouses on a fortress.

And all of this is made of ice, or at least looks like ice. But the entire fortress did not look crystal clear because of this, nor did it look fragile because of it: all the ice layers were obviously added with something else, and there were white or black things like smoke clouds rolling and circling inside those thick ice walls. It was completely opaque, and Hao Ren guessed that it was the result of enchantment.

The Ice Castle was built in the Ragnarok era and has a history of thousands of years. Its style is completely different from any human building on the earth, but its majestic and majestic momentum can be seen without any style. Hao Ren couldn't help but observe the fortress carefully, and finally saw something familiar among the towers, magical-style arrow towers, and complex wall structure. He suddenly discovered that this thing was similar to something in the royal capital of Horleta. Some ancient buildings are somewhat similar.

Demon hunters are the "ultimate beings" created by the magic emperors of Horleta using their source blood. Although they themselves did not have time to produce their own culture, they inherited the essence of knowledge from the magic empire of Horleta. Today, This inheritance finally showed its remaining clues: it is the city in front of you.

"How is it?" Bai Huo breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her familiar home. The burden that had been on her shoulders for the past few days seemed to be a little lighter. She opened her hands proudly, "This is the first time I saw it. Many people in the Ice Fortress will be stunned, its magnificence is unique in the world, and it is said that even most temples in the mythical age cannot compare with it."

"To be honest, I have seen bigger things, but this city is really spectacular." Lily flicked her tail, trying to emphasize that she was well-informed, and then raised her head and looked along the city wall, "... …There is not even a single seam in the entire city!”

"The ice and rock were all melted together, and then sixteen steps of enchanting and reinforcement were carried out to finally integrate it with the entire ice sheet." Bai Huo nodded, "Over the past thousands of years, the Arctic ice sheet has also undergone many changes, but Only the place where this castle stands is imprisoned by magic, and what you are stepping on is the Arctic ice thousands of years ago, without even a millimeter of change."

Elizabeth sat on Isaacs's shoulder and looked up for a long time, and finally puffed out her cheeks and muttered: "It's not as big as mine."

Bai Huo raised the burning spell card in his hand high in front of the city gate. The fire of the rune card was just a star in the darkness, but as the spell card shone, a giant ice sculpture in the shape of a dragon's head was inlaid on the ice fortress gate. But it immediately became brighter, and with a "click-click" sound, the giant dragon skull made of ice lowered its head and made a hoarse voice: "Open... the door..."

"Rumble--"

A loud noise accompanied by the shaking of the earth came from behind the gate. The giant ice wall that seemed to have been frozen with the city wall began to rise slowly and incredibly, while a low and desolate horn sounded from the top of the fortress as the gate opened. Came everywhere. Hao Ren looked up to the top of the city wall. In the darkness, he saw countless shadowy figures swaying on the battlements, and hundreds of eyes were watching here.

Hao Ren took the car back to his personal space and walked towards the fortress under the leadership of Bai Huo. When he walked through the gate, he suddenly had a question: "Since this base camp is still there, how could you be in such a mess when you broke out?"

He recalled the situation when Bai Huo suddenly teleported to the southern suburbs. At that time, the condition of the demon hunter girl could be described as dying. She was in a state of desperately trying to break through from a position that had fallen across the board. But now he saw that as The ice fortress of Corpus Gate still stands here, so how did the White Fire break through like that?

"Do you know where I broke out from?" Bai Huo smiled.

Hao Ren was stunned: "Where?"

"The deepest part of Corpus, the place where almost all fronts were occupied," Bai Huo sighed, "The gate in front of you is indeed still in our hands, but the Corpus opposite the gate is almost completely owned by the Presbyterian Order. Territory. I was trapped in their encirclement, and even the escape route to the Star Tower was cut off. Originally, I wanted to retreat to the Ice Fortress to rest for a while, and then use the breath of the blood crystal to guide me to you. , but found that there was no way to go, so I opened the space door directly from the depths of the secret realm of Corpus. Therefore, the injuries on my body were not caused by the battle, but the result of being crushed by the turbulent flow of space—— Any secret realm is space-blocked. I was almost crushed into pieces, but fortunately, an amulet given by my instructor at the last moment helped to resist it."

Hao Ren immediately stared at the demon hunter girl with his mouth open: "Breaking random teleportation across space? You really dare to jump!"

He actually didn't know much about Bai Huo. After a few limited contacts with him, his impression of him was that of a young hunter who had great talent but lacked experience. Due to being overprotected by his mentor and other elders, he was in vain. He has fighting ability but is not as experienced as Nangong Sanba. However, this childish image was shattered in an instant - she was more courageous and courageous than imagined. She jumped in against the turbulence of space dislocation, which required the courage and leap through the whirling meat grinder. The blade is no different!

Lily listened to Bai Huo's conversation with Hao Ren, but she raised her ears and asked, "Is this dangerous? I think I should dare to jump too."

Oh, besides Bai Huo who is brave, there is another kind of person who dares to do this, and that is Lily's type of heartless person...

With a strange sense of expectation and excitement, everyone became the first batch of "foreign races" to enter the Holy Land of Demon Hunters. After passing through the castle gate, Hao Ren saw in front of him a fortress made entirely of ice. Countless magic lights made the fortress brightly lit in the polar night. Heavily armed demon hunters could be seen everywhere in the fortress. However, despite the large number of onlookers, the scene was not noisy at all. The hunters in black just stood quietly at their respective posts and looked at the visitors, with curiosity and warning in their eyes, and a little bit of fear. expect.

Hao Ren had already expected the warning elements in those sights: today must be an unprecedented time for Ice Citadel and the entire demon hunter group. The demon hunter sect has always stood at the apex of supernatural creatures since the age of mythology. Not only did the regiment ask for help from outside, but the reinforcements they asked for were a group of aliens. Now these "monsters" who are listed as "heresies" in the canon are standing in the fortress of the Holy Land in such a grand manner, and they have to be received as guests. This kind of Who would have dared to think of something unprecedented in the past?

If the innate hostility had not completely subsided, if the current situation had not forced it, and if the most stubborn demon hunters were not in the Elder Order and had become enemies, what happened today would never have happened.

An old hunter wearing a large cloak emerged silently as if emerging from the darkness, and walked quickly towards the white fire: "They are them?"

"Master Ksuzov," Bai Huo bowed slightly in greeting, and then explained briefly, "These are the leaders of the reinforcements. The large army is behind. They will arrive at the fortress in an hour. Someone needs to go over and help them open the star barrier. Also, regarding the army I invited... I hope to give everyone a heads up. They look a little weird, and they are probably similar to those from the mythical age... but they are indeed on our side."

The old hunter known as Master Ksuzov nodded: "Don't worry, everyone is ready. The situation is like this. It's time for an old guy like me to adapt. And I heard that this matter was caused by Saint Bedolis." Instructions before losing control?”

Although Bai Huo did not pass by the Ice Fortress when she broke out, when Hao Ren and his party set foot on the North Pole, she had already contacted the fortress through secret techniques and told them everything she knew. Therefore, the defenders in the fortress Only then can we make corresponding preparations and let in aliens like Hao Ren and others.

"It is indeed the instruction of Saint Bedolis, and it is also the intention of Elder Hasselblad and Master Tutanin," Bai Huo emphasized the latter two people, then turned slightly sideways and pointed at Vivian, "Ansai Countess Star is so respected that even demon hunters are in awe of her, so she offered to help."

"Thank you, Countess, for your help regardless of previous suspicions." Master Ksuzov's tone sounded extremely strange, but he still endured the weird atmosphere and greeted Vivian. "The situation is so embarrassing, it's really..."

"Forget it, forget it, don't be polite to me. It makes me feel bad too," Vivian waved her hand in an imposing manner, "It's all a matter of beating each other's brains out. Whoever is polite to anyone will look fake, or say Let’s talk about the situation on the front line.”

Lily muttered in an aggrieved voice beside her: "Just say it, can you please stop beating the dog's brains out every now and then... The dog provoked you..."
