The magic sword struck out fiercely, and by the time everyone recovered, the black fox had completely lost its ability to move and was sealed in the ice.

So that’s it, is it an ice attribute ability?

Bai Qiyun did not sense the breath of God's Eye on the demon sword, but instead felt a strong smell of legacy.

Well, it seems that he guessed right. The Relief Society and the Spin Demon Society are both keen on using the power of inheritance.

"Even if this guy is dead? It feels like he hasn't done much good."

Hu Zhai Palace walked up to the frozen black fox, his eyes constantly looking at the zero beast inside.

As a level five zero beast, Black Fox's power is really simple and easy to understand, and it basically doesn't have any weird abilities.

Perhaps its power is reflected in the pair of black claws, which can easily break through Phil's defense. It can indeed be said to have extremely powerful attack power.

It would be understandable if the Disciplinarian Gale was seriously injured due to such a blow.

Unlike captain-level beings, the near-gods do not deliberately spread their attack power over a wide range when fighting, but control it to the most concentrated level. In short, they compress it.

Therefore, this is also the reason why when the near-gods take action, they will not be as destructive to the terrain as when they are at the captain level.

From this point of view, this black fox has indeed managed to concentrate its power on one point, but other than that, there is nothing special about it.

"Why, you can't bear to see your fellow tribesmen?"

"Huh? Who is the same kind as this kind of thing? Please don't say such disgusting words, okay?"

Hu Zhai Palace puffed out her cheeks to refute Bai Qiyun's words, looking a bit cute.

Bai Qiyun resisted the urge to grab the fox's tail deep in his heart and forced himself to calm down.

"The information says there are two, besides this one there should be -"

Just as he was speaking halfway, there was a sound from the lake in front of everyone.

The next second, a huge fish suddenly jumped out from inside.

The body shape must be at least ten meters upward. The fish's body jumped in the air, covering all the sunlight that was not much in the first place, leaving a shadow on the earth.

"wuuu——ou——"

It's like an ancient call slowly pulling away from the fish's body, making people feel confused for a while.

Bai Qiyun even felt that his body was a bit empty.

No, this is not an ordinary cry.

He instantly realized something was wrong, and the silver light on his body surged, turning into several meteors and flying towards the big fish in the sky.

"Peng!"

The small meteor hit the big fish's body, but it did not cause excessive damage to Zero Beast like before.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the scales covering the whole body of the big fish were like armor, helping it block the blow.

But fortunately, Bai Qiyun's sudden action interrupted its chanting as usual.

Realizing that something was wrong, the big fish flicked its tail and immediately fell into the bottom of the lake, leaving a wave of waves lapping on the shore.

"Eh?"

Only then did the rest of the people come back to their senses.

Kujo Sora pressed his temples, feeling a little powerless.

What just happened?

"That was...another Zero Beast just now? But what is that power? Can it affect other people's minds?"

Huzhai Palace, who had always been very nervous, also became very tired at this time.

The fiery red boy's hole that was originally full of spiritual energy also became decadent.

Although the sound just lasted for less than ten seconds, it had a real impact on everyone.

"I don't know, but it seems that the reason why Disciplinary Officer Dafeng was seriously injured has finally been found."

Demon Sword shook his head, his voice low.

If the two Zero Beasts had attacked together just now, then there would definitely be casualties here.

A Zeromon that can affect the enemy's mind coupled with a powerful assassin Zeromon, this combination is terrifying enough no matter how you think about it.

This is especially true for students like Kujo Sora, who has high attack and low defense.

Hu Zhaigong subconsciously touched his butt, as if something was stuck on it.

"What to do now, force it up?"

The white-furred fox cautiously looked into the lake, but could only see the bottomless water.

The lake is about five to six hundred meters long and one to two hundred meters wide. It's not too big, but it's not too small either.

You can imagine how difficult it is to search for the big fish just now.

Especially since this is a snow-capped mountain. Although the lake is not frozen, the temperature of the lake water is definitely not comfortable.

"It's impossible to get into the water anyway."

Bai Qiyun gave up the idea after just one glance.

The other party is a level 5 zero beast that can influence the mind. If they go down there, just an accident could easily drown them in the lake.

"Then let it run away?"

"Anyway, it pretends to be a fish and can't escape from the lake."

Although it was unclear why the zero beast trapped itself in the lake, Bai Qiyun felt that this was good news.

Looking past Jiu Jiao Shuangluo's strange gaze, Bai Qiyun walked to the lake and called out Yan Duola.

The little guy was frozen in the ice and snow and looked very uncomfortable.

Bai Qiyun quickly attached the power of the star to Yandora's body to keep her warm.

"Take a look under the water, you don't have to go down yourself."

As a pure water elf, Yandora's control over the waters is naturally stronger than that of humans.

But to be on the safe side, Bai Qiyun did not let the little guy go into danger alone. Instead, he gathered a few pure water creatures and got in.

With the help of the contract, Bai Qiyun shared the vision of aquatic creatures.

The bottom of the lake was bottomless, and the already weak sunlight could not penetrate into the lake at all. In the darkness, he could roughly sense the position of Zero Beast.

It was a place further down than where he was, unable to go deep, and judging from its appearance, it must have been alert and would not come out again in a short time.

After exploring this point, Bai Qiyun asked Yandora to dissipate into the form of a water creature and return to everyone.

He explained Zero Beast's status and his judgment.

"Anyway, that's it. I think we can ignore it for the time being, as long as we avoid this area in the future."

Bai Qiyun thought that this place could be left to be dealt with at the end. If that didn't work, he would ask the people from the Teaching Council to change the shells of the thundering cannon into mines, and directly blow up the bottom of the water, thus avoiding any further casualties.

Hearing this, Demon Sword nodded slightly.

As the only person here who has nothing to do with Bai Qiyun, his approval basically means that everyone has reached a consensus.

"Okay, we will determine the next road first when we go back, but if the road leading to the old palace is blocked, we will need to find a new road leading down the mountain."

Phil's voice was calm, and there was no trace of the youthfulness of a girl in her twenties.

Perhaps this is the mark left by the aristocratic family on her body.

If the Old Palace is excluded from the target first, then the remaining two snow-capped mountain cores, 'Sleeping Dragon Valley' and 'Xingying Cave', need to be put on the attack agenda.

Of the two, Bai Qiyun is more inclined to explore Mianlong Valley.

Having been to the Snowy Mountains once, he knew that the so-called Sleeping Dragon was the demon dragon Dulin that had attacked Mondstadt but was repelled by Tvarin.

The blood of the demon dragon was once used by Barok, a non-staff member of the Spin Demon Society, and there should be very little left at present.

So don't worry about the dragon's blood affecting other creatures. What you need to pay attention to is whether the low terrain will attract black seawater from the outside.

The terrain there has not been thoroughly surveyed and further exploration is needed.

Bai Qiyun and others set up an obstacle in front of the lake to remind team members who entered here by mistake later.

Afterwards, the group returned to the camp.

"Well, it turns out that's the case, then we should really leave it alone for now."

After listening to everyone's experiences, Ou Heng felt that they had done the right thing and stopped focusing on this matter.

This operation did not take long and achieved good results.

At least three of the level five zero beasts in Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain have been killed, and the last one is still trapped in the lake and cannot move freely.

"Our focus now is to take advantage of the Thunder Cannon and find a road that can lead to Sleeping Dragon Valley and be covered by artillery fire."

Ou Heng stood in front of the map of the snow-capped mountains and kept pointing at the uneven terrain.

Even though he is the head of the parliament branch of Mondstadt, he has never been to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. After all, this place has become a forbidden area for humans decades ago.
