Chapter 866 The Secret of the Frost Mountains

The Frost Mountain Range stood quietly before their eyes like a sleeping giant. The cold wind howled, blowing up the snow on the ground, as if welcoming their arrival. Zhang Meng shrank his neck and couldn't help shuddering: "I really don't understand why those guys from the Dark Cult always like to hide in such an unbearably cold place? Aren't they afraid of freezing?"

Qin Feng smiled and said as he walked: "The existence of the Dark Sect is inseparable from this extreme environment. Their power often comes from the worst conditions, and this kind of place is more suitable for them to hide their power."

"It's so boring!" Zhang Meng complained, rubbing his arms hard to keep warm. "I want to fight big monsters, not come here to freeze."

"Don't worry, Mengzi." Qin Feng glanced at him and joked, "Since the Dark Sect chose this place, there must be a lot of trouble waiting for us. You will have a chance to take action soon."

Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, and an expectant smile appeared on his face: "That's good! I was really afraid that I would run so far and end up not even having a decent fight."

They climbed the icy mountain road while maintaining a high level of vigilance. Although the surroundings seemed calm, Qin Feng knew that the Dark Cult would not let them approach so easily. The stronghold must be hidden somewhere, and there were probably various traps and ambushes.

"Mengzi, watch your step." Qin Feng suddenly warned, pointing to the ground ahead.

Zhang Meng looked down and found a piece of ground that was obviously raised under the snow, as if it was buried by something. He frowned and kicked the raised area with his foot. Sure enough, a thin trap net appeared from under the snow.

"Humph, there is indeed an ambush!" Zhang Meng sneered, "These black-robed monsters are really cunning. They actually set up so many traps."

Qin Feng nodded and bypassed the trap: "The Dark Cult is not good at direct confrontation, they like to use the environment and tricks. This also means that we are close to their stronghold."

"The more cunning they are, the more I want to beat them up." Zhang Meng held up the giant axe, his face full of fighting desire, "Come on, I can't wait!"

The two continued along the mountain road, the temperature gradually dropped, and the snow around them became thicker and thicker. Just as they climbed a steep hillside, suddenly, a cold wind blew, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

"Oh no, there's movement!" Qin Feng quickly stopped and looked around vigilantly.

Sure enough, a black shadow appeared on the snow in the distance. The shadow was so fast that it almost merged with the wind and approached them rapidly.

"Here they come!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly, raised his giant axe and prepared to fight.

The shadow got closer and closer, and gradually revealed its true appearance - it was actually a huge frost wolf! This wolf was three times larger than an ordinary wolf, its fur was gleaming with a cold blue light, and its eyes were emitting a dangerous red light. It was obviously a monster controlled by the power of darkness.

"Finally a big guy is here!" Zhang Meng laughed and rushed forward, swinging a huge axe and chopping it hard at the frost wolf's head.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Zhang Meng's giant axe hit the top of the frost wolf's head, splashing a burst of ice chips. However, the frost wolf just shook its head, and it didn't seem to be hurt too much, but it became more angry.

"Wow! This guy's head is really hard!" Zhang Meng was a little surprised, but then he said excitedly: "But the harder it is, the more I like it, come on!"

The frost wolf let out a low roar and pounced forward, its sharp claws heading straight for Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng was not afraid at all, he raised his giant axe to attack again, the two collided in the air, making a deafening sound.

Qin Feng was watching the battle from the side, secretly evaluating the Frost Wolf's weaknesses. He found that although the Frost Wolf's head and limbs were extremely hard, its abdomen seemed to have weaker defenses.

"Mengzi, attack its belly! That's its weak spot!" Qin Feng reminded loudly, while drawing his sword and rushing quickly to the side of the Frost Wolf.

"Okay, watch me!" Zhang Meng heard the instruction and immediately adjusted his attack direction. Just as the frost wolf pounced again, he suddenly rolled over, quickly went around its side, swung his giant axe and chopped it hard at its abdomen.

"Bang!" This time, the giant axe hit the frost wolf's abdomen accurately, making a low muffled sound. The frost wolf screamed, its body suddenly stiffened, and then fell to the ground, twitching a few times before it stopped moving.

“Hahaha! Done!” Zhang Meng laughed triumphantly and waved the giant axe in his hand. “This wolf is really not bad, but I finally got rid of it.”

Qin Feng walked forward and carefully checked the body of the Frost Wolf. After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Well done, Mengzi. But this is just a small test sent by the Dark Cult. The real challenge is still to come."

"I knew it!" Zhang Meng curled his lips, the excitement on his face still not completely gone, "But the more this is the case, the more I look forward to it. The stronger the enemy, the more exciting it is to fight!"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "I hope you can still be so optimistic by then."

The two continued to move forward. The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the thicker the dark atmosphere in the air became. Qin Feng could already clearly feel that this Frost Mountain Range was not just a hiding place for the Dark Sect, but a sealed place for some more ancient power.

"Mengzi, be careful." Qin Feng whispered, looking around vigilantly, "This is not just the base of the Dark Cult. There may be other more powerful forces lurking here."

"Other more powerful forces?" Zhang Meng asked doubtfully, "You mean, this place is not just their lair?"

"That's right." Qin Feng nodded. "I sensed a different aura from the Dark Cult. This power is likely some ancient existence sealed here. The Dark Cult is likely trying to use the power here to realize their conspiracy."

"Wow! It sounds like they are going to fight some ancient monster!" Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, and he was obviously excited about this possibility. "Then we have to speed up and not let them succeed."

Continuing forward, they finally reached the top of the mountain. In the center of the mountaintop, there stood a huge black stone tablet, which was engraved with complex runes, and the air around it was filled with an extremely strong dark power.

"This is their core." Qin Feng said in a deep voice, tightening his sword. "This is probably where the dark sect performs forbidden rituals."

Zhang Meng raised his giant axe, eager to try: "Oh my goodness! There must be a big monster this time. I can't wait!"

At this moment, the runes on the stone tablet suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, and the entire mountaintop began to shake violently. Then, a huge crack appeared in the ground, and a powerful energy gushed out from the crack.

"Here they come!" Qin Feng shouted, quickly drawing his sword and preparing to fight.

A huge frost monster slowly crawled out from the crack. Its body seemed to be made of ice, snow and rock, emitting a strong chill, and its eyes flashed with scarlet light. Obviously, it was a powerful being summoned by the dark sect.

"This thing doesn't look simple!" Zhang Meng was excited, waving his giant axe, "But no matter what it is, I will chop it in half!"
