Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 100 Encirclement

After collecting his spoils, Huang Hong looked towards the glacial crevice. He had wiped out all the adult Breath Spirit Worms, leaving only some immature ones.

The cerebrospinal fluid of the immature Spirit Worms has no effect, so Huang Hong does not intend to eradicate them completely and will leave them behind, as they may be useful in the future.

Huang Hong said to Wu Jie, "Let's go deal with the Frost Corpse Demon."

"Although we've already achieved our goal of getting the Breath Worms, I can never have too many of these. Please keep an eye out for them for me from now on."

Wu Jie nodded and said, "No problem."

As he finished speaking, the ghosts that had previously gathered around dispersed once again.

The area where the Frost Corpse Demon resides is an ice valley. The terrain here is low, and the cold air constantly gathers, almost solidifying into a tangible substance.

Huang Hong observed for a moment, then laughed and said, "These are really something! Each of these epic beings has the advantage of terrain, they're not easy to deal with! So, how do we fight them?"

Wu Jie said, "Wait a minute, I need to set up some magic arrays and rituals first, just in case."

"Once I've finished setting things up, we'll lure the Frost Corpse Demon out, preferably outside the Ice Valley."

"As you can probably tell, my goal is to enslave it. This won't be easy, but I have special methods and am quite confident that I can succeed, provided that I and it are within a certain range."

"It is foreseeable that once I use the enslavement technique, I will inevitably enrage the Frost Corpse Demon. At that time, you and the undead legion will need to buy me enough time."

Huang Hong nodded slightly and asked, "Give me a definite answer: how long exactly do you need to delay?"

Wu Jie said gravely, "At least ten minutes!"

Huang Hong clicked his tongue and said, "Alright, I'll do my best."

In fact, Huang Hong was quite confident in himself. With his strength, he could stall these monsters who had just entered the epic realm for a long enough time.

For example, the Flame Core Colossus we faced before wouldn't take a whole day, but twenty or thirty minutes would be relatively easy.

Wu Jie spent a whole day setting up the magic array and rituals, which took longer than expected.

During this time, Huang Hong was not idle. While wandering around the area, he also hunted various monsters to increase his experience and source energy.

To his surprise, there was an unexpected bonus.

Huang Hong discovered a glacial crevice on the other side of the Ice Valley that was suitable for the survival of the Breathing Worms. Unfortunately, it was too close to the Ice Valley, and in order to avoid alerting them, it was not possible to confirm whether the Breathing Worms existed there for the time being.

However, this is ultimately good news.

After Wu Jie finished making the arrangements, Huang Hong was also ready.

Wu Jie activated a magic array, and a tremor immediately came from beneath his feet. The tremor seemed to be accumulating power, gradually becoming more intense as it was transmitted, and finally detonating completely in the ice valley.

For the Frost Corpse Demon, this vibration was like being woken up by a loudspeaker blasting noise in its ear while it was sleeping; one can imagine how grumpy it would be upon waking up.

A deep, yet terrifying roar erupted, expressing the extreme rage of the Frost Corpse Demon.

The cold air in the icy valley suddenly surged, rising violently like boiling water, gradually engulfing Huang Hong and Wu Jie.

A moment later, a figure slowly emerged from the icy mist. He was two meters tall and covered in deep blue frost, with wisps of ice constantly appearing in the air around him.

The Frost Corpse Demon stared at Huang Hong and Wu Jie with chilling eyes.

Without any communication, it simply waved its hand, and the icy mist surged and gathered, transforming into sharp ice spears that shot towards the two of them.

A golden tiger phantom appeared around Huang Hong, and he shattered the incoming ice spear with a few leaps.

Just then, skeletons and zombies emerged from Wu Jie's necromantic space, all of them wrapped in frost armor, which provided excellent protection against frost and physical damage.

In addition to these regular minions, Wu Jie also summoned three powerful undead beings at once.

The first one was a Frankenstein's monster that Huang Hong had seen before; the second one was a beggar's version of the Death Knight; and the third one was a corpse demon with spellcasting abilities.

The henchmen were just there to take the bullets and die; the real main force consisted of Huang Hong and three powerful undead.

Of course, Wu Jie did not place all his hopes on Huang Hong, whom he had only known for a short time. If a crisis came, he would still have a backup plan to escape.

Collecting his thoughts, Wu Jie temporarily stopped considering other matters and focused his attention on the Frost Corpse Demon, beginning to cast the enslavement spell.

Wu Jie's actions were immediately noticed by the Frost Corpse Demon, and the mental erosion made it even more furious.

If at the beginning, the Frost Corpse Demon was merely grumpy from being woken up and still had the mood to torture and kill the two beforehand, now it had completely lost all other thoughts and only wanted to tear them to pieces in the shortest amount of time and with the most violent and cruel methods!

"Roar!~"

The Frost Corpse Demon roared and charged straight at Wu Jie, ignoring everyone else.

Huang Hong stood in front of the Frost Corpse Demon, forcefully blocking its attack.

This encounter also allowed Huang Hong to discern the general attributes of the Frost Corpse Demon. Agility and intelligence were hard to say, but strength definitely reached 16 points, and constitution might have exceeded 16 points, reaching 17 points.

If Huang Hong's physique hadn't reached 15 points and he hadn't mastered many martial arts techniques for deflecting force, he estimated that he would have fallen apart in a single exchange.

Even so, Huang Hong was in bad shape. The flesh and blood of his arms were shattered by the impact of the Frost Corpse Demon, leaving almost only bones, a horrifying sight.

But the next moment, the flesh buds on Huang Hong's arm began to writhe wildly, and the shattered flesh sprouted tentacles, crawling rapidly toward him and merging into his skin upon contact.

In just a few breaths, Huang Hong's arm injury had healed by more than half and was rapidly recovering; this exaggerated recovery speed was simply superhuman.

Seeing this, the Frost Corpse Demon charged forward again.

If Huang Hong continues to tough it out with his old injuries unhealed, he'll likely suffer serious injuries.

Fortunately, Huang Hong wasn't the only one on the battlefield.

"Whoosh!"

With a whooshing sound, the Stitches cast out a grappling hook that wrapped around the Frost Corpse Demon.

Although the Stitches failed to pull the Frost Demon back due to the huge power difference between the two, and was instead dragged forward by itself, it did manage to hinder the Frost Demon's momentum to some extent.

At the same moment, the Death Knights began their charge; the undead also unleashed a series of spells.

The three undead worked together quite well, preventing the Frost Corpse Demon from crossing the line.
