Chapter 424 The Special Ice Element, Jiang Han's Terrifying Control
After absorbing the soul fire in Jiang Han's hand, the surviving Crimson Demon undead grew several times larger, and its aura rose from the servant level to the peak of the warrior level. Then, under Jiang Han's command, it jumped into the sea and swam at full speed towards the Crimson Demon's lair.
"Let's go, we can find their lair by following this Crimson Demon." Jiang Han said as he summoned the Skeleton Nether Dragon from the dimensional space, and called the others to get ready to set off.
Because this Crimson Demon was resurrected by Jiang Han using necromancy, Jiang Han could clearly sense its path. The Skeleton Nether Dragon concealed its aura and flew in mid-air to follow, afraid that its aura would be leaked and alert other sea monsters nearby.
"These Crimson Dragons seem to be amphibious, and their lairs are mostly located on relatively humid islands, so we don't need to worry about fighting them in the sea," Jiang Han said calmly, sitting atop the skeletal Nether Dragon's head.
"That puts my mind at ease. I thought I'd have to fight the Crimson Demon in the water later." Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
If you were to fight in the sea, many people wouldn't be able to unleash their full power. Sirens are much stronger in the water, so it's best to avoid fighting them in the sea.
A few white clouds drifted sparsely in the clear sky, and four broken islands stood in the azure ocean. The broken island in the middle was Jiang Han's destination. It was covered with lush vegetation and had a diameter of no more than 500 meters.
Even though the Skeleton Nether Dragon tried its best to conceal its aura, it still alerted the Crimson Demon leader who lived on the broken island in the middle. After sensing the Skeleton Nether Dragon's aura, the Crimson Rift Demon crawled out of its nest and let out an angry roar, while warning the other Crimson Demons and the sea monkey monsters on the periphery.
"The Crimson Rift Demon was alerted so quickly," Jiang Han said with some surprise. He hadn't expected the Bone Nether Dragon to be discovered by the Crimson Rift Demon so soon; he thought it would be discovered only when they got close to the inner island.
"There are two to three thousand sea monkey monsters on Guangwai Island alone, not even counting the Crimson Demons inside. It's going to be a fierce battle," Mo Fan said.
"The sea monkey monsters only have servant-level combat strength, and they are among the most spineless races in the ocean. Almost every powerful race treats them as vassals. Although their combat strength is not great, they are very good at finding food and escaping, so there is no need to worry about them too much," said a woman with a somewhat quiet appearance.
This woman comes from the Nanrong family. Ai Jiangtu said her name is Nanrong Ni. She is the only healing-type nanny in the team. Jiang Han knows that this woman is not as innocent and harmless as she seems. She is a scheming woman who is good at hiding her true intentions.
When Jiang Han was chatting with Mu Ningxue earlier, Jiang Han had warned her to be careful of Nan Rongni. As for whether she listened to him, Jiang Han didn't know. He only knew that the two of them had talked much less on the way here.
"There are over a hundred Crimson Demons. We should be able to wipe them out without any problem. But the real concern is that they might escape into the sea and become stronger, while we would be constrained. This shift in power would be very disadvantageous for us," Ai Jiangtu said solemnly.
"I can freeze the sea between these islands, but I'll need Mu Ningxue's help. As for the Crimson Rift Demon, leave it to my Skeleton Nether Dragon," Jiang Han said.
"Okay." Mu Ningxue agreed without hesitation.
With Jiang Han and Mu Ningxue freezing the sea area, Ai Jiangtu no longer had any worries and began to assign tasks to the others.
Nan Rongni was left on the shore by Ai Jiangtu to cover everyone's retreat, while Ai Jiangtu led Jiang Han, Nan Yu, Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan and others into the inner island to hunt down the Crimson Ling Demon. As for the Skeleton Nether Dragon, it rushed directly towards the Crimson Rift Demon on the inner island after they landed.
The battle between commanders was not something ordinary Crimson Demons could interfere with. The aftershocks alone were enough to knock the Crimson Demons back several meters. They could only stand on the outer rocks and roar to cheer on the Crimson Rift Demons.
Guan Yu specializes in wind magic and possesses a rare thorn-wielding artifact. Ai Jiangtu dispatched him to clear out the sea monkey monsters guarding the reef, while Li Kaifeng used Shadow Cloak to infiltrate and cooperate with Guan Yu.
The two worked together quite well. Li Kaifeng used Shadow Step to sneak into the shadows of the reef, and before the sea monkeys could react, he used Giant Shadow Nails to pin them to the ground. Guan Yu then followed closely behind, turning into a blur, and harvested the pinned sea monkeys.
"Squeak squeak squeak~~!"
Just then, a sea monkey monster that had escaped the combined attack of Li Kaifeng and Guan Yu crawled out from a crevice in the reef and ran into the distance, but before it could run a few meters, it was frozen into an ice sculpture by the cold air.
"Has he already mastered ice magic to this extent?" Mu Ningxue looked at Jiang Han, who had casually dealt with the sea monkey monster, with some surprise.
Although Mu Ningxue's main skill was ice, she couldn't instantly cover hundreds of meters with ice vines to freeze and kill the sea monkey monster that had fled far away.
Jiang Han was too fast; before the others could react, the sea monkey monster was dealt with by Jiang Han.
As the team leader, Ai Jiangtu was a cautious person. After Jiang Han dealt with the sea monkey monster, he closed his eyes and used spatial fluctuations to check if there were any hidden sea monkey monsters nearby.
With Jiang Han's skeleton and the Nether Dragon attracting the attention of the Crimson Demon on the inner island, Jiang Han and his group's infiltration went unnoticed by the sea monsters.
Upon arriving at the sea area separating the outer and inner islands, Jiang Han and Mu Ningxue were enveloped in extreme cold. After their ice-based domains intertwined, the weather in the sea began to change, with dark clouds filling the sky and crystalline snowflakes falling from the heavens.
The originally damp, fragmented islands instantly froze over with frost, which covered the lush green plants. The sea was also frozen solid under the dual domains. If one were to look down from above at this moment, one would see that the triangular, interconnected fragmented islands had turned into a white ice ring.
As the frost within the white ice ring intensified, the biting cold forced Mo Fan and the others to unleash fire spells to warm themselves. This was only because Jiang Han and Mu Ningxue had restrained their power; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to release fire spells at all, as fire magic was suppressed to the extreme under the dual domains.
Even the seabirds that nested on the island were frozen stiff by the biting cold, and eventually the entire sea area and the broken islands were frozen in this white painting.
"How did Jiang Han manage to merge with other people's domains?" Zhao Manyan asked, rubbing his hands together.
"I don't know, but his ice element is a bit special, though I can't quite put my finger on what makes it special," Jiang Shaoxu said.
Jiang Shaoxu was right about that. Jiang Han's ice element was indeed very special. Not only could he instantly release ice magic, but he could also fuse with other ice domains to increase the power of his ice magic several times over. This was something Jiang Han had just discovered.
Jiang Han guessed that this might be inherited from his mother, which is why his ice element was much more special than others'. As for why it was so special, he would have to ask his biological mother, whom he had never met.
"Both of them have very strong control, especially Jiang Han. His control over ice even surpasses my control over space," Ai Jiangtu exclaimed.
