Chapter 196 Great Harvest

Under the devastating heatwave from the Level 6 elemental pool, the entire Abyss Snow City was transformed into a giant sauna.

Steam filled the air, the ice and snow melted, and the 100,000 Yetis were all reduced to limp, powerless icy mud, temporarily losing all threat.

Like a highly efficient harvesting machine, Jieming's figure blurred through the city, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. Wherever he went, a large amount of rare materials were mercilessly swept into his space expansion bag.

High-energy ice crystal ore, permafrost used by the Yeti to build their city, and the flesh and blood of certain polar creatures they "cultivate"...

He didn't even mind the trouble, carefully extracting one cold yeti core after another from the melting bodies, since these were hard currency that could be exchanged for a large amount of military merit.

He moved with astonishing speed. In just over half an hour, he filled the several large-capacity expansion bags he had brought to the brim, leaving almost no room for anything else.

However, after his ecstatic looting, a sense of regret followed.

He searched almost the entire core area of ​​the city, but unfortunately, he did not see any strategic buildings similar to the Lava Giant's "hatching pool".

Moreover, judging from the materials plundered, most of the truly rare, top-tier materials that reached level three or even level four seemed to have already been taken away by the high-level Yetis who had retreated.

Most of what remains in the city's treasure vault are just ordinary, low-grade materials.

"It seems that although they left in a hurry, they still took something important with them." Jemin understood, and wasn't too disappointed.

After all, such a result has far exceeded expectations.

Just as he was preparing to end the looting and give the city a final "cleanup".

On one side of the city, in a grand area that looked like a lord's mansion, Jemin discovered a truly unexpected delight.

It was the corpse of a level four lava giant, silently sealed within a giant ice crystal!

This lava giant had obviously been dead for a long time, but its body was remarkably well-preserved.

It remained in a posture of struggling, its dark red rock body covered with cracks eroded by the power of frost, and its eyes, which once burned with raging flames, were now completely dim.

Even though he had been dead for so long, a faint but palpable pressure from a level four creature could still be clearly sensed, even through the thick ice crystals.

“A specimen…or rather, a trophy?” Jemin instantly understood the purpose of the corpse.

It's clear that the corpse had been specially treated; it was probably used by the previous Yeti Lord as a "specimen" or "trophy" to showcase his illustrious achievements.

When those high-level Yetis left in haste, they obviously didn't take this "ornament" with them, which was useless to them.

After all, for the Yetis, their mortal enemy, the Lava Giant, possessed fire elemental power that was completely contrary to their own attributes, making it almost useless.

“The remains of a level four creature…” Jemin couldn’t help but lick his lips.

This is useless to the Yeti, but it is a treasure to him, to any low-level wizard!

Its body, core remains, and even every piece of solidified rock shell are top-grade alchemical materials!

He unceremoniously threw out the overflowing low-grade materials from the space expansion bag until there was enough space to accommodate the entire huge "specimen".

As he stuffed the entire ice crystal into the space expansion bag, Jemin felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Just then, he felt the surrounding air temperature begin to slowly cool down.

The chill emanating from the depths of the city and from the sky is rapidly neutralizing the heat generated by the previous eruption of the elemental pool.

The bodies of the Yetis that had collapsed on the ground began to solidify again, and some of the more resilient ones were even able to begin to wriggle slightly.

"Looks like we need to deal with these guys first." Jemin's eyes turned cold.

After thinking about it, he decided to go all in.

After all, for wizards, eliminating the enemy can also earn them a lot of military merits.

The sheer number of Yetis in this entire city, even if their levels are generally not high, is still considerable.

In Jemin's eyes, these yetis that were about to regain their mobility were no longer a threat, but rather a bunch of living, walking military achievements!

"Then... let's clean it all up together!"

His figure soared into the sky, hovering above the city.

With a thought, the "Great Radiant Image" unfolded once more!

Thousands of rune artifacts, like unfolding metallic halos, gleamed with a cold light under the dim sky, aimed at the city below that was slowly recovering!

boom! ! ! !

The next moment, the ultimate light of destruction descended.

A dense barrage of energy projectiles carried out an indiscriminate carpet bombing, plowing through the entire city!
Thousands of energy projectiles converged into a destructive torrent, descending from the sky and instantly engulfing everything on the city's surface! Explosions rang out one after another, melting ice water was instantly vaporized, and fragile ice and snow buildings were reduced to dust under the energy impact.

Those yeti that had just begun to reform their bodies were completely wiped out before they could even let out a complete wail!

Thanks to the ultimate output capability of "Great Light Phase", Jemin was finally able to completely eliminate all the Yetis before they regained their mobility!

However, due to this exaggerated bombing, the entire underwater city that had been emptied was also completely destroyed.

The ground was riddled with craters, and everywhere there were deep pits and charred marks left by the explosion. The original outline of the city had long since disappeared.

It would be difficult to continue searching for any missed resources in these ruins.

Jemin slowly put away the "Great Light Image" and landed on the ground. Looking at the scene where almost the entire ground had been blown away, he couldn't help but marvel at his foresight—thankfully, he had looted first before taking action.

Just as he was satisfied and preparing to leave this land of destruction he had created, a strange sensation suddenly came from the soles of his feet.

Jemin stopped and couldn't help but frown as he looked down at his feet.

It was an extremely faint, yet incredibly chilling aura.

It's neither sight nor hearing, but a keen intuition about energy fluctuations that originates from the depths of the soul.

He sensed that the land beneath his feet was somehow different from what he had experienced before.

"Ok?"

He carefully sensed it, sinking his mental energy into the ground, but found nothing unusual.

Jemin blinked, but the strange feeling in his heart became clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped relying on the wizard's senses. Instead, he mobilized the true energy within his body and focused it on his eyes!

As true energy was injected, his vision changed instantly.

The chaotic ruins were stripped away, and the flow of the world's primordial energy began to appear before his eyes.

It was at this moment that he saw the true situation beneath his feet!

Beneath his feet, beneath the tens of meters of frozen soil that had been torn away, wisps of extremely fine malevolent energy were continuously emerging!

These malevolent energies have a faint grayish-black color, almost blending into the surrounding environment.

If he hadn't used his True Essence Vision, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

Like rootless will-o'-the-wisps, they seep out from the depths of the earth and quickly dissipate into the cold air.

"Yin Sha Qi?" Jemin recognized the type of evil Qi and frowned.

Logically speaking, it's perfectly understandable that a large amount of ordinary malevolent energy would be generated here, given that 100,000 lives have just died here.

However, Yin Sha Qi is a very special kind of evil Qi.

The most distinctive feature of this thing is that it is not generated in real time.

The so-called Yin Sha Qi is not simply formed by the resentment generated at the moment of death. Rather, it requires a large number of corpses to gather in the same place and undergo an extremely long period of fermentation, decay, and sedimentation before the relevant "concept" can be born under specific conditions!
In other words, beneath this Yeti city, there is likely another, even larger and older... mass grave!
Moreover, judging from the quality of these permeating Yin energy, although they are extremely weak, their essence is exceptionally pure, carrying a chilling quality that seems capable of freezing the soul.

This shows that the number of corpses underground, as well as the time of burial, was definitely not low!

Jemin's breathing became rapid at that moment, and his eyes blazed with an unprecedented intensity!
In terms of its destructive power on the soul level of higher-level beings, high-quality Yin Sha Qi is no less powerful than that of Hong Chen Qi of the same quality.

Moreover, its properties are more insidious, and the damage it causes is even greater!

The mortal world's energy tends to pollute the mind and shake one's resolve, while the Yin energy is the purest form of erosion and destruction directed at the soul itself.

This thing is perfect as a supplement and enhancement to his "Mysterious Red Dust Barrier"!

Once refined and absorbed, his protective aura will possess both the characteristics of "bewitching the mind" and "destroying the soul," greatly increasing its power!

This was an even greater surprise than the corpse of that level four lava giant!
Judging from the current situation, the Yin energy underground must have been suppressed by the thick permafrost and ice layers, as well as the ice element energy field of the Yeti City itself, and hidden deep underground.

It was only because its reckless carpet bombing had blown away the upper layers of land and ice that a few traces were left.

This gave the Yin energy, which had been sealed away for countless years, a chance to dissipate.

“It must be an ancient battlefield…” Jemin pondered.

After all, based on the results of geological surveys, it can be said that the entire Frostfire Plane has been used as a battlefield, and it is not impossible that there is an ancient battlefield under such a city.

“In that case…” A glint of light flashed in Jemin’s eyes, “Then let’s just dig this place up completely!”
