It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 617 Snowfall Burial, Ice Meteorite Sky Burial
"Crack!"

The Nile doctor ripped the horse's head into shards of ice.

"Indeed, my idea was correct."

The snow horse emerged from the ice wall.

It appears to be in good condition, except that the injured areas are covered with snowflake-like patterns.

"As long as you live, someone will always be able to kill you. Only when you die can you live forever."

"Itsuki said slowly."

"But you're not really dead, you just went into hiding. You hid for hundreds of years, but you were still discovered, weren't you?"

Liu Zheng pointed out incisively.

"At least I've lived a peaceful life for several hundred years. If I haven't evolved by then, I'll be old and dead by now."

“I can help you evolve; my master happens to be lacking a horse-following god.”

"The Nile doctor seized the opportunity to speak," he said.

"Where did the original horse from the god go?"

Xuema asked the crucial question.

"He died in battle."

After hesitating for a moment, Dr. Nile told the truth.

"Since you died in battle, your god must be having a hard time too, right?"

Xuema pressed for an answer.

The Nile doctor remained silent, his face grim.

"When I become a god, your gods will start another divine war. Whether I go or not, I will die, and I might not even live for a few hundred years. Ha."

Xuema gave a cold laugh.

"It seems you're determined to reject my offer."

The Nile doctor also lost patience.

"I have lived for eight hundred years. For the first five hundred years, I was someone else's mount and war beast. Only for the last three hundred years have I lived for myself. Give me liberty or give me death."

Snow Horse's voice gradually calmed down, but it made Dr. Nile feel uneasy.

"you are wrong."

Liu Zheng interjected.

"Ok?"

Xuema looked at him.

This unknown creature, though seemingly weak, evoked a profound sense of danger in the creature, no less than that of the divine servant.

There is a poem in my hometown: "Love is precious, freedom is more valuable, but life is the most precious of all."

Life is so wonderful, life is so glorious. As long as you live, there is hope; as long as you live, there is opportunity.

“My first job in the city was at the Bloody Restaurant. I was severely injured on my first day and couldn’t make deliveries. If you think like me, I could have just fought back against the person who injured me, at least I could have died with dignity.”

“But I didn’t. I didn’t hesitate to please my enemies, endure the pain of being eaten by insects, the humiliation of being forced to drink urine, and the loss of being ‘eaten’ by others, and finally successfully completed my first order.”

"And that's how I got to where I am now, with the right to be arrogant and domineering, and the joy of revenge. And I believe that one day I will be able to have the freedom to work when I want to work and lie down when I don't want to work."

"Even if I still don't get my freedom, I can make those who won't give me freedom die."

Liu Zheng said proudly.

"you are right."

Xuema surprisingly nodded in agreement.

However, it said in a sinister tone the next moment.

"So, I'm going to send you all to your deaths now."

"Why? We didn't take your freedom away."

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"Who are you kidding? He clearly wants me to become his god's servant."

The snow horse raised its hoof and pointed at the Nile doctor.

"Thinking and doing are two different things. You can choose to agree or not. Anyway, you only have a few hundred years left before your time runs out, right? If you haven't evolved by then, then you can consider whether or not to agree."

"Doctor, can you wait?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"no problem."

The Nile doctor nodded.

Given God's current favor towards him, it wouldn't be a problem for his intellect to remain intact for another thousand years.

The Nile pantheon has a long lineage of deities. Although Ra is in very poor condition, he is certainly not going to die; he has plenty of patience.

“I swear in the name of my Lord.”

The Nile doctor added.

Unless the deity's duties inherently involve fraud or lies, oaths made in the name of the deity are generally quite effective.

However, a noble deity like the sun god would not typically hold such a divine office.

How do I know you won't reveal my existence to others?

Xuema's attitude seems to have softened somewhat.

"The Nile doctor can continue swearing. As for me..."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes, a sudden inspiration striking him.

"I've got it. I can sign the contract with you."

"Sign a contract? A contract where you won't reveal my whereabouts? If you breach the contract, am I supposed to sue you in court?"

Xuema felt that he was insulting his own intelligence.

"No, no, no, you're wrong. I want to sign an exclusive supply contract with you."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"You must supply me with local specialties at the lowest price, and you must guarantee the quantity and quality of the specialties. In return, I will be responsible for ensuring that your information is not leaked and for assisting you in protecting the security of the specialty production area."

He talked freely.

Once the two parties become bound by shared interests, he might even care more about its safety than Xue Ma does.

Would this hedgehog agree?

Xue Ma looked at Bai San thoughtfully.

“I’ll just sign a supplementary agreement with them later. Actually, it won’t matter if you kill us, because their families all know. You can’t kill their whole family.”

"If we don't run into them this time, we'll run into them again someday. When enough people die, even a fool will notice the problem. By then, with blood feuds brewing, they won't be so easy to talk to."

Liu Zhengchen explained the pros and cons.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ma remained silent.

"You seemed to have a lot of fun in that battle. You must have been bored after being locked up for hundreds of years. Staying at home as a horse is certainly a kind of freedom, but going out and having fun is also good for your mind and body. The metropolis is so big, you should go and see the world."

He advised.

"What about them?"

Xuema then looked at the others.

"Both of them are my subordinates, and I guarantee they will be fine. As for Miss Shi Tiantian, the Stone Spirit Clan has always maintained neutrality, and it has no reason to leak your information."

Liu Zheng said.

“I swear to the Ten Thousand Mountains that as long as you do not threaten the safety of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Stone Spirit Clan, I will not leak your information.”

Shi Tiantian cooperated and swore an oath.

The Stone Spirits were born from the Ten Thousand Mountains, and their oaths to the Ten Thousand Mountains are similar to the oaths of believers to gods.

"What about them?"

The snow horse lifted its hoof, and everyone's eyes focused on the area of ​​darkness below the armored vehicle, an area not covered by ice.

"I can't control them, but you can talk to them. If you can't reach an agreement..."

Liu Zheng paused, then revealed a shrewd businessman's smile.

"If the explosion-proof vehicle is damaged, you will be required to pay for it at the original price."

"Alright. You coward, come out!"

Xue Ma shouted.

The darkness remained unmoved.

"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so here comes the punishment. I'll show you my true strength." The snowflake-like patterns on the snow horse spread across its entire body, making it look like a broken and then glued-back glass statue, fragile yet dangerous.

"A grand funeral at a snow waterfall!"

With a fierce shout, Xue Ma shattered the entire icy cage, transforming it into a torrential downpour of ice needles that shot towards the riot control vehicle.

With the enhancement of extraordinary power, each ice needle achieved a Mohs hardness of 8 or higher, making it 3 degrees harder than iron.

Let alone an armored vehicle, even a tank could be punctured with 100,000 transparent holes.

Seeing this dazzling scene, the Nile doctor's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that Xuema was not lying; it did not use its full strength just now.

Faced with this devastating blow, even darkness could no longer remain indifferent.

"Grey Wind - Dark Fortress!"

The shadow beneath the vehicle suddenly expanded, and a semi-circular shield covered the entire armored vehicle.

However, since the Dark Fortress couldn't stop the Nile Doctor's Sun Boat before, it naturally couldn't stop the Snow Horse's Icefall Burial either.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sheer number of ice needles turned the Dark Fortress into a dark toothpick tube; Liu Zheng could even hear the sound of the car body being pierced.

"The Greedy Maw of the Dark Magic Gate, Arnzipar!"

The remaining darkness transformed into a gaping maw, devouring all the ice needles.

"Dark Technique: Binding Darkness!"

This time, before the mouth of greed could turn on it, the dark rope tore it apart.

"Here we go again. Can't you come up with something new?"

Liu Zheng couldn't help but complain.

It was the same old three things again. If it weren't for the change in time and setting, he would have thought he had entered some kind of time loop.

But despite the complaints, the old three methods did work, and the Snow Horse's Icefall Burial was solved.

"Good good."

Xuema laughed in anger.

It had been lying dormant for hundreds of years, and when it finally came out, it thought it was a fierce tiger emerging from the mountains, but it turned out to be an old horse that had stumbled.

"It seems that if I don't get serious today, I'll become a laughing stock in your eyes."

Due to her emotional state, Xue Ma's originally pale face flushed red.

"It's not that bad, actually."

"Shut up! I'll pay you double for the car."

Liu Zheng was afraid it would make him faint from anger and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but it interrupted him in a fit of rage.

"Ok."

He shrugged.

They're willing to pay double the compensation, what can he say?

"Ice Meteor Sky Burial!"

Snow Horse's eyes turned into a cross shape, shooting out two beams of light towards the armored vehicle.

As the armored vehicle was locked in place, a piercing whistling sound echoed through the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a fireball breaking through the clouds and falling downwards.

Soon, everyone could see what the fireball looked like.

It was a rhomboid meteorite about the size of an armored vehicle, and the entire meteorite was composed of countless small rhomboid ice crystals. Each facet refracted dazzling light, just like a diamond.

The flames surrounding the meteorite were not the usual purple, blue-green, yellow-green, or purplish-red colors, but rather an ethereal white, resembling both flames and water mist.

"It's so cold."

The moment Liu Zheng saw the ice crystal meteorite, a chill ran through him and he couldn't help but tremble.

He looked at his body; there was no ice on the surface.

However, he was frozen in fear in the face of the sudden natural disaster, yet unable to take a step to escape.

"Come here, everyone."

The Nile doctor once again raised the sun disk and gathered everyone around him.

The warm orange sunlight comforted everyone; in the face of the sun, even meteorites seemed insignificant.

Of course, for the darkness where the sun cannot find it, the pale flames of the ice crystal meteorite are absolute destruction.

"Doctor, will it affect us later?"

Liu Zheng asked in a low voice.

"It's hard to say. If all else fails, I'll just put a pyramid down to block it."

"That's what the Nile doctor replied."

The Nile pantheon is not known for its defense. Although he knows some defensive spells, since the snow horse has already summoned the meteor, those ordinary methods are only a waste of mana.

"Abao, what about you?"

He asked the panda.

"You scoundrel, aren't you overestimating me?"

The panda looked at him speechlessly.

"If I could withstand such moves, would I have been coerced and bribed into becoming your bodyguard?"

"Whether you can block or not is a matter of ability, whether you can block or not is a matter of attitude. Hurry up, use whatever means you have. If you want to slack off on the first encounter, then you'll be retiring for good."

Liu Zheng stared wide-eyed.

"Sigh, I should have never gone down the mountain in the first place."

The panda sighed and opened its mouth, spitting out a small, plain white flag.

"Holy crap, a plain-colored cloud-shaped banner!"

He was suddenly startled.

This panda actually has such a treasure in its hands; it truly deserves to be a disciple of the orthodox Xuanmen sect.

"What plain-colored cloud banner? This is the Lesser Sun Dawn Banner that I crafted myself."

The panda rolled its eyes.

If it possesses the Five Elements Banner of the Primordial Chaos, what need would it have to fear any divine cultivator? With a single strike on its head, not even a fake Heaven-Turning Seal, let alone the real one, could fall.

This scoundrel, all he does is dream about good things all day long.

It thought for a moment, then exhaled another breath of black and white cinnabar onto the flag.

Stimulated by the elixir energy, a pale orange sunrise immediately appeared on the Shaoyang Xiguang Banner, echoing the sun disk above the Nile Doctor's head.

"Is this alright now? It would take me at least half a month of arduous cultivation to replenish that amount of internal energy."

"I'm annoyed," the panda said.

"Good, take it."

Liu Zheng generously stuffed a wad of banknotes into his hand.

"In that case, I'll do it too."

The Nile doctor planted his scepter in the ground and began chanting a spell.

"Father of all things, great Creator, merciful Ra, as your priest, I pray that you would bestow your divine power and bless your people and those who worship you."

After a rapid chant, a holographic pyramid of light, centered on the head of the staff, enveloped them.

"That should be about right. We'll see how things go later."

"The Nile doctor estimated it and then said."

"it is good."

Everyone was ready and then watched the show.

When the ice crystal meteorite descended to a height of 500 meters, it suddenly accelerated, leaving a long trail of fire, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above the explosion-proof vehicle.

The intense wind pressure directly crushed all the surrounding trees, while the ice on the ground became even more solid due to the powerful force of the ice approaching.

"The True Dharma Gate: The Secret Techniques Dismantled!"

The dark elves used the same trick again, and a pure white light shot out from the darkness, hitting the front of the ice crystal meteorite.

However, although this splitting ray was several times thicker than the last one, it only turned the rhomboid ice crystal meteorite into an arrowhead shape, reducing its volume by at most a quarter.

With its remaining volume, the ice crystal meteorite was still enough to reduce the car and its occupants to nothingness.

"Now, how will you deal with this, Your Excellency Yaksha?"

A malicious smile appeared on Liu Zheng's face.
