On the other side, the captain sighed with satisfaction as he felt the last two blood sacrifice powers carrying the lives and souls of the two players into his body.
At this moment, he felt unprecedented satisfaction and fulfillment, and God's "glory" filled his body!
However, in the next moment——
Crackling—crackling!
Amid the sound of flesh being torn apart, one hideous bone spur after another pierced his skin and flesh, passing through his body.
But at the same time, the torn flesh and blood was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, twisting and wriggling, turning into a stronger form.
In just a moment, he changed from a human appearance into a monster with bone spurs all over his body and bulging muscles!
This is because the excessive vitality has exceeded the limit that the human body can bear. The huge energy has nowhere to vent and can only burst out in the form of hyperplasia of bones and muscles.
However, the captain turned a blind eye to the changes in himself and continued to chant the spell.
——There was one thing he did not lie about. His ritual was indeed intended to summon a blizzard, but before that, it would not prevent him from taking the "divine power" from the other three people first.
As this last spell was chanted, dark clouds began to appear in the originally clear sky, followed by cold wind and snowflakes.
In just less than a few minutes, a massive blizzard formed out of nowhere and enveloped the entire ice field.
Only the altar seemed to be protected by the power of the evil god, and the wind and snow could not invade, making it the only peaceful island in this snowstorm.
……
The appearance of the blizzard naturally attracted the attention of Yi Shen and others.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't tell me this was also done by those cultists?"
Looking at the rapidly gathering dark clouds in the sky and the sudden rise of snow and wind, the bearded man's face changed and he exclaimed in surprise.
"I'm afraid so. This blizzard, like the fog before, bears the marks of human intervention!"
Yi Shen's expression was also very serious.
In the elemental vision, whether it was the dark clouds in the sky or the wind and snow on the ground, they all emitted abnormal supernatural energy that was more than ten times thicker than the previous fog.
He never expected that the snowstorm he thought was a natural background for the mission could actually be summoned artificially!
But at the same time, he also felt a situation that he didn't know whether to say was good news or bad news -
Just now, he felt that three of his cells remaining in the bodies of those evil god's followers disappeared at once.
He understands what this means.
This is not the kind of "disappearance" that occurs when the marked person enters the spiritual world, but rather the death of those cells due to the loss of their living environment. Yi Shen can tell the difference between the two.
This also means that three enemies are dead, and even the Yi Shen cells in their bodies are no longer alive.
"Is it an internal conflict? Or is it the price of summoning this blizzard? Who is the winner? Is it the player? Or one of the NPCs?"
Yi Shen's mind was filled with many doubts.
But now is obviously not the time to think about this.
The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, and the temperature was getting lower and lower. The chef, who was essentially just an ordinary person, was already shivering. Among the players, the bearded man tried to activate his Golden Bell Cover to resist, but he soon found that his proud horizontal training and hard work had no defense against the low temperature. On the other side, the cowboy and the girl also mobilized some extraordinary energy from their bodies to transform it into a thin layer of flame, trying to resist the cold, but it seemed to have little effect.
"Think of a solution quickly! The wind and snow are getting stronger and stronger. If it continues like this, we will freeze to death here!"
Assassin, who had returned to the team at some point, couldn't help but remind him.
Although she possesses the magical skill of erasing her presence as an assassin, her resistance to natural disasters like blizzards is not much different from that of ordinary people, and she cannot hold on for long.
"I know!"
As Yi Shen spoke, he once again erected a thunder shield around him to cover everyone.
The shield, composed of elemental forces infused with the will of "protection", successfully kept the wind and snow out.
But although this shield blocked the wind and snow, it could not withstand the low temperature that penetrated.
If they don't think of some special ways, they still won't live long.
"Maybe we can chisel away the ice and build an igloo. I heard that's how the Inuit survive in the Arctic!"
The cowboy next to him suggested.
"No, not to mention that building an igloo takes time, we can't be sure when this blizzard will end. If we don't die, those evil god believers won't stop the blizzard, and we'll still be waiting to die!"
The girl retorted.
"What should we do? We can't continue attacking in the middle of a blizzard. We'll freeze to death before we even reach our destination!"
The cowboy still insisted on his opinion.
"It's not impossible!"
Yi Shen spoke at this time.
Hearing him say this, the cowboy immediately looked at him in surprise:
"Are you serious?!"
"Yes, I'm not kidding."
Yi Shen nodded:
"The enemy summoned the blizzard to stop us. I just sensed that three of them have died, leaving only one. What do you think this means?"
"Internal strife? Killing each other?"
The cowboy shrugged and gave what he thought was the only possible answer.
"No, it's a blood sacrifice!"
The chef beside him recovered a little from the cold and said:
"According to the cases recorded in our monastic order, the most likely scenario in this situation is that the followers of the evil god are engaging in blood sacrifices with each other, with the strongest taking the evil god's blessings from the others, strengthening themselves to an extremely terrifying level!"
"……grass!"
The bearded man couldn't help cursing:
"So, although our enemies have become fewer in number, they've also become stronger, right?"
"Yes, I've become much stronger!"
The chef looked up at the snowstorm that almost blocked out the sun.
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to cause such a level of celestial change."
“So, we can’t just sit there and wait for death.”
Yi Shen took over the conversation:
"Holding on in the blizzard will only drain our energy bit by bit. In the end, we won't even have the strength to resist. We must rush to the enemy's lair and kill the caster as soon as possible while we still have the ability to move. Only then can we survive this blizzard!"
Chapter 60: Electromagnetic Heating, Zombie Attack
"...Well, you're right, we really can't just sit there and wait for death!"
The cowboy nodded, convinced by Yi Shen and the chef.
The gangster, the Assassin, and the bearded man had no objection to this.
Thus, everyone's opinions were unified again.
But the problem now is that even if they want to continue moving, the continued low temperature is still a problem. If they can't find a way to solve it, they may still not reach their destination.
"Well, maybe I have a way."
As Yi Shen said this, coil-shaped rings of lightning began to appear on the thunder shield surrounding everyone.
But unlike the stable elements that make up the rest of the shield, these thunder rings are constantly flickering, as if oscillating at high speed.
In fact, this is true. The lightning formed by these elemental forces is oscillating back and forth at an ultra-high frequency.
As we all know, the periodically oscillating current in a coil will form electromagnetic waves. If the frequency of the oscillation can be adjusted, the electromagnetic waves formed can be limited to the infrared band.
And infrared is heat!
To put it simply, Yi Shen used his elemental power to create an extra-large infrared heater.
Almost immediately, everyone felt that the temperature around their bodies stopped dropping and then quickly began to rise.
In less than a few minutes, the temperature inside the shield rose from more than 20 degrees below zero to around 5 degrees Celsius. Although it was still not warm, it was at least not cold enough to kill people.
“It’s truly… a miraculous skill!”
Assassin seemed to understand the principle behind Yi Shen's operation and made such an exclamation.
The rest of the people looked at each other, somewhat confused and awestruck.
But whether you understand it or not, the threat of low temperature has been resolved.
"Now, let's go to the enemy's lair and kick that guy's ass!"
The cowboy twirled the gun in his hand and struck a pose, his fighting spirit high.
So, the group kept their eyes on the wind and snow, and set off again under the leadership of Yi Shen.
……
In the altar, the captain, who had completely transformed into an inhuman monster, naturally saw this scene through his [Spiritual Vision].
He was surprised that Yi Shen and others could withstand the blizzard.
But then he snorted coldly and ordered the three mummies around him:
"Go, kill them!" The three mummies that had lost all vital signs seemed to be still alive at this moment. They nodded in response to the order, and then they all used [Walking in the Spirit World] and quickly attacked Yi Shen and others.
Yes, after taking away all the power and even the lives of his three "companions", the captain did not even waste their bodies, but directly refined them into resurrected corpses.
This is another kind of undead creature different from ghouls and corpses. Its biggest feature is that it can display the abilities of the corpse when it was alive. It even has a certain degree of intelligence and can decide its actions independently within a certain range.
This was actually due to the residual souls that the captain stuffed back into these corpses. Although the lives and souls of the doctor, the pastor, and the high school student were devoured by the captain with the help of a ritual, they were not completely digested, and a part of them remained.
However, this part of the residual soul has lost its self-awareness. Under the influence of the power of the evil god, it has become a demon-like existence that can be driven by the captain at will.
When they return to their original bodies, they can use their flesh to perform all their past skills - although the energy consumed will ultimately have to be paid by the captain himself.
However, for the captain at this moment, he only felt that the energy in his body was a little too much. Controlling a few resurrected corpses consumed only a drop in the bucket of energy, so he didn't care at all!
……
Let’s turn our attention back to Yi Shen.
With the help of thunder shield and coil heating, everyone ignored the harsh environment of the blizzard and quickly approached the altar.
at this time--
Whoosh!
A figure appeared behind the cowboy, the gangster girl, and the Assassin at the same time, holding their respective weapons and rushing towards the three of them.
"careful!"
The chef at the end of the line saw this and quickly spoke out to remind them.
The three people who were attacked reacted very quickly and rolled over to avoid the attack the moment they heard the sound.
The cowboy and the gangster drew their swords and guns and turned around to fight back, while Assassin ducked to avoid the sneak attack and immediately erased his presence, making the opponent lose their target while he could attack from the dark.
However, whether it was the counterattack of the cowboy and the gangster girl, or the assassination of the Assassin, when they hit the mummy behind them, it was like hitting rotten leather. Neither bullets nor blades could hurt the other party.
The Invisible Servant's defense might be slightly weak against Yi Shen's lightning strike, but it truly demonstrates its strength when facing attacks from other players!
"Damn it! What kind of enemy is this time?!"
Seeing these invulnerable mummies, they felt a little troubled.
"It's the doctor and those two guys!"
Yi Shen was the first to recognize them from their clothes.
Although I knew that these people should have died, I didn't expect their deaths to be so tragic.
However, he reacted quickly. Seeing that the other players were unable to take down the mummies for a while, he took decisive action. Several powerful thunderbolts struck out, accurately hitting three enemies.
Crackling!
In an instant, the powerful lightning strike shattered the "invisible servant" force field on the surface of the three mummies, but then, something unexpected happened.
"Ugh!"
