Capítulo 2059: Chapter 1666: Ice Hell (Double-Length Chapter) (Part 2)

“No way!”

Upon hearing Bei Diao’s plan, Su Ran quickly stopped him, “I just lost a pet; this sand trap is real.”

“Oh? So, we need to find the passage one by one?”

Bei Diao frowned slightly, and just as he was about to continue, a friend’s message rang out. He instinctively opened it and a smile appeared on his face, “Overturning Water, come with me.”

“Where to?”

Su Ran was puzzled, unsure of what Bei Diao planned to do.

“I know the real passage coordinates now, hurry, let’s not let them get ahead of us.”

“Actual coordinates? Is the information accurate?”

“Nan Qiang told me, what do you think?”

“Haha, at crucial times, you have to rely on Brother Nan Qiang!”

…

Led by Bei Diao, after walking nearly three miles, Su Ran felt his feet were almost blistering. Finally, he saw Nan Qiang’s figure.

“Hahaha, Overturning Water, long time no see!”

Before Su Ran reached him, he heard Nan Qiang’s hearty laughter, “No wonder Bei Diao was so slow today; he brought you along!”

“Brother Nan Qiang, we haven’t seen each other for a while, how have you been lately?”

For some reason, Su Ran felt an inexplicable familiarity with these two brothers, a feeling of letting down all guards, even though he had only met them a few times. It was really strange.

Suddenly, he recalled a crucial point and realized the reason: the power of money!

Someone who can spend 15 million in cash to buy a virtual weapon wouldn’t bother with mind games; what’s there to guard against?

“Not at all! That kid Bei Diao has been tormenting me for days, I don’t dare enter the game anymore!”

Nan Qiang shook his shield in frustration, complaining to Su Ran, “You came at the right time, help me make sense of it. My son bullied his daughter once, and he won’t let it go, insisting on discussing it with me. Kids misbehaving is not my fault, am I wronged or not?”

“Nonsense!”

Bei Diao’s arm was trembling with anger, “Who claimed in front of the teacher that she’s a daughter-in-law? And said husbands teasing wives is normal, humph! Even if my daughter married a beggar, she wouldn’t be your family!”

“Uh, I just got carried away and spoke too much, but everything I said is true. With our relationship, isn’t it better to strengthen the family bond?”

Seeing Bei Diao genuinely angry, Nan Qiang’s tone softened a bit, grinning, losing his previous frustration.

“It’s not impossible for you to marry my daughter, but let your son prepare a million in dowry, not a penny less!”

“A million? Are you robbing me?”

Nan Qiang felt a pain in his heart, sighed, “It’s better to have a daughter, sons are just money losers…”

“I say you two brothers, stop squabbling. The kids are still young, not at an age to talk about love. It’s too early to discuss this; let’s focus on the new terrain ahead!”

Seeing them go on and on about this topic, Su Ran quickly intervened, “If we’re late, the opportunity will be snatched by someone else!”

“Overturning Water is right, business is important, dowry discussions can wait!”

Nan Qiang took the opportunity to lead the way ahead, “This sand trap is different from others, hidden beneath the sand layer is light blue ice, it should be the real passage.”

“Wait, let me test it first.”

For safety, Su Ran summoned his Thunder Bat, which reluctantly took on the role of testing the area, heading toward the sand trap.

“Swish!”

As soon as the Thunder Bat touched the sand trap, it was forcibly teleported away, disappearing from their sight.

“I can share the pet’s vision, brothers, help guard me.”

Without waiting for Nan Qiang’s reply, Su Ran promptly shared the Thunder Bat’s vision. He realized the clone Thunder Bat appeared in an icy sand world, with the ground covered in yellow sand, no green plants in sight, giving a desolate visual impression.

“Caw~ Caw~”

While Su Ran was stunned, dozens of Ice Crows flew in from the sky, swarming towards the Thunder Bat.

“Not good!”

Su Ran wouldn’t let the Thunder Bat easily fall. He commanded the bat to use the ultrasonic skill, a group attack skill with a 3-point stun attribute, perfect for dealing with those Ice Crows.

Low-frequency sound waves quickly spread out. The Ice Crows hit were all affected at varying levels, and two triggered the stun attribute, falling from the sky onto the sand layer.

Taking advantage of the gap, Su Ran quickly controlled the Thunder Bat to escape the encirclement and flee into the distance, attempting to avoid the Ice Crow’s chase.

However.

Before the Thunder Bat could fly far, an ice arrow came flying. By the time Su Ran noticed, it was too late; it pierced through the bat’s skeletal frame, pinning it in the sand, unable to escape the arrow’s grasp no matter how much it struggled.

The Ice Crows wouldn’t miss such a rare opportunity, rushing over like vultures, tearing the Thunder Bat apart.

“Overturning Water, how’s the Ice Hell space inside?”

Seeing Su Ran return to normal, Nan Qiang eagerly approached, “You’re really impressive, sharing the pet’s vision, using pets to scout around is basically cheating!”

“This shared vision has a major downside; I can’t control my main body. Encountering danger means resigning to fate.”

Su Ran didn’t hold back, explaining everything he’d encountered in Ice Hell, “There are many monsters inside, with fewer people, it’s disadvantageous, once in, you can be ambushed anytime, so be careful.”

“Ice Crows? They’re not high-level monsters, shouldn’t be able to break my defense!”

With confidence in his defense, Nan Qiang didn’t waste much time, and after speaking, jumped into the sand trap, getting teleported away.

“Still so reckless, he’ll suffer sooner or later!”

Bei Diao complained, hurriedly following, not forgetting to remind Su Ran, “Overturning Water, quick, he can’t last long alone!”

“Uh, okay.”

Seeing Bei Diao’s desperate look, Su Ran couldn’t help but sigh in his heart; bickering aside, true feelings are revealed in times of trouble, this is true love…

After entering the Ice Hell, Su Ran felt the chilly air, as if stepping into an ice cave. Fortunately, he had the icy treasure orb protecting him, driving away all the cold.

“Caw~ Caw~”

Upon seeing intruders, the Ice Crows flock and rushed towards Nan Qiang.

“Shield Blessing! Defense Aura!”

Unclear about the Ice Crow’s attributes, Nan Qiang wasn’t daring, he used defense skills immediately, boosting his defense, then used the Roar skill, fully attracting the Ice Crows’ hatred, giving Su Ran and Bei Diao a chance to strike.

“Why are you standing around? Hurry and help, these Ice Crows have considerable damage, my defense is breached!”

Seeing Su Ran and Bei Diao hesitant to act, Nan Qiang was anxious and angry, shouting, “Bei Diao, get moving and heal, are you planning to collect my remains?”

“Don’t worry if you die, I can revive you.”

Bei Diao found a chance to get back at Nan Qiang, smiling, without planning to intervene.

Su Ran wouldn’t be so heartless; he immediately summoned ten magic skeletons, Iron-blood Sand Puppet, Wang Cai, and Little Zombie, all joining the battlefield, alleviating Nan Qiang’s pressure considerably.

Ice Crows are just level 40 regular monsters; despite their strong attack, their health and defense are lower than average. With Su Ran and his pets’ full-on assault, they were quickly beaten down to the ground, turning into bodies.

“You’re a true friend, Overturning Water. Bei Diao, you’re really unsupportive!”

With Su Ran’s help, Nan Qiang managed to hold up smoothly, replenishing his health while kicking the Ice Crow’s corpse, then discovering unexpectedly, the ground was covered with many shiny ice beads, very eye-catching.

“Whoa, loot’s dropping!”
