You Huan followed the direction in the knight's memory and ran towards the ranch lord.
The agile animal shadows crossed the rolling hills and stepped across the vast grassland.
The wind blew and made countless wild flowers sway.
The human girl lying on the tail raised her head slightly and looked at the scenery ahead against the wind.
Miracle.
She thought.
She was hugging a warm miracle.
Now, this miracle is to fulfill her greedy wish and bring complete and lasting peace to this region that has long been a source of suffering for mankind.
The journey was very smooth, as if God was hoping that her wish would come true as soon as possible.
Thanks to the extremely fast speed after the second evolution, even without entering the snow melting state, You Huan reached the central area of the fertile ranch before the sun set.
As soon as I got here, the scenery suddenly became different——
Pits of varying sizes are scattered irregularly on the slightly undulating ground. Large amounts of rough black minerals that barely reflect light grow out of the holes and gradually blend into the green grass on the surface.
These are the black dust mines.
Black dust ore is not a real ore, but a highly condensed form of black dust.
The reason why so many black dust mines can be formed here is, on the one hand, that the concentration of black dust here is very high when the doomsday breaks out, and on the other hand, it is also due to the "rabid dog" characteristic of the ranch lord.
The "rabies virus" it spreads can not only create fusion monsters, but also accelerate the mineralization of black dust.
Whether it is the positive use of black dust ore, used to enhance the strength of zombies and corpse beasts, or to create more monsters.
Or use it in reverse and use black dust mine to absorb external black dust pollution.
The rich black dust mines here are enough for a large force to use for decades.
Moreover, the climate, soil and water resources in the ranch area are very rich and can be used to operate various life industries.
——Whether it is the church or the nunnery, they cannot support so many members just by killing.
Even zombies can only eat farmed livestock in most cases.
Overall, the fertile ranch is indeed a popular destination for all major forces.
Walking among the many black dust mines, he looked around and found that it was deserted and the many corpse beasts under the command of the ranch lord were nowhere to be seen.
This matched the information he got from the knight's head.
That powerful team of knights had already reached this core area and observed the situation of the ranch lord at close range.
The state of the "furious mastiff pack" can be said to be very bad, or very distorted.
All other living things in the core area, including monsters and humans, have been absorbed and fused by it to form a huge individual!
Although the Knight Squad saw the enemy's situation clearly, the enemy's increasingly powerful absorption and fusion capabilities on the verge of losing control made it impossible for them to do anything, so they had to retreat with the intelligence.
This retreat ended in misfortune.
Now, You Huan stood in this dead land, listening to the faint heavy breathing coming from afar. After thinking for a while, he put the human girl down first.
[It's time to work. ]
He released You Qingqing from the function card module.
[Master! What are you doing? What are you doing? ]
As soon as the vine appeared, it took root in the ground and swayed towards him, scaring the little girl so much that she took a step back.
[Protect her well, and let her see clearly what's going to happen next. ]
After You Huan finished speaking, the vine immediately split into two, then two into four, and turned into a big net, catching the little girl.
After squirming for a while, the vines formed the shape of a small house. The side facing You Huan became transparent, revealing the confused face of the girl inside.
"What's going to happen next is too dangerous. This thing will protect you. Just stay inside and watch." You Huan instructed her and turned to the direction where the heavy breathing came from.
His body turned into a snowflake, spun on the spot, then rose from the ground and rushed forward.
As they advanced, the +1 strengthening effect of [Melting Snow] began to take effect, and he could feel his [Cooling Constitution] getting stronger little by little.
It was as if "cold" had materialized. Wherever the snowflakes went, even the air began to freeze, and the ground was covered with frost and snow.
The sky suddenly changed, and heavy snow covered the blue sky and the sunlight, and fell on the fertile pasture.
The zombies retreating to the edge of the old war ring, which was the pasture, the knights still advancing towards the center from all directions, the ghost-hooded man sitting on the roof with his legs dangling, the corpse beasts running across the grassland...
Countless pairs of eyes looked up at the sky at this moment, whispering:
"It's snowing..."
"roar--!"
Then, a loud and violent roar came from the center of the ranch, and the fierce sound waves set off a hurricane across the ranch!
"Rumble..."
Immediately there was a muffled sound like thunder and a lot of noisy dog barking.
"Woof!"
"Ouch!"
The snowflakes floating in the air suddenly began to shake irregularly.
A huge and twisted figure slowly stood up from the largest black dust mine in the center of the ranch!
The lord of the ranch finally moved!
You Huan was the only one who could see clearly what the lord looked like at this moment.
The frenzied mastiff, with a body over a hundred meters long, was made up entirely of a large number of animals glued together, most of which were dogs.
Tiny individuals make up its sturdy limbs, its swollen body, its huge canine beast, and even the "hair" floating on its body.
These creatures had their heads and legs, legs and backs, and backs and mouths stuck together. Their deformed eyeballs revealed a frenzied and ferocious look, and beastly roars emanated from them in a chaotic manner.
"Well..."
"Save me…"
Amid the noisy screams, there were a few soft cries for help.
You Huan lowered his gaze—he saw that near the soles of the feet of this huge fusion monster, there were some humans and zombies fused in the shape of a large letter.
These guys used to be residents of the ranch, and some of them might even be the lord's trusted aides.
But at this moment, their conscious will was not only being tortured by the pain of physical adhesion, but was also being assimilated by the lord's own chaotic thoughts.
"roar!"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Woof woof woof!"
"Intruder, die--!"
Amidst thousands of chaotic voices, the huge strange dog turned its bloated body, faced the direction of the abnormal snowflakes in the air, then opened its mouth and bit towards it fiercely!
With just this simple movement, many pieces of flesh that had been separated from the fusion fell off his body.
The body, which could no longer be recognized in its original shape, fell to the ground with a crackling sound like rain, but soon it began to wriggle again, as if attracted, and crawled towards the direction of the strange dog again.
"Bang!" The strange dog's mouth closed tightly, and snowflakes scattered around it, leaving it with nothing to bite.
The part of the body that made up the mouth was instantly crushed to pieces by itself.
"Roar..." It retracted its head and shook it violently. Several zombies that had just merged with it were thrown away.
After getting rid of this extra bulky burden, its intelligence seemed to have returned a little.
It realized that it could not attack the snow in the air using ordinary physical methods, and all its parts suddenly let out a roar.
Twisted and rotten animal mouths opened from its body.
Streams of substances that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye flew out of its mouth. The "rabies virus" that made it famous spread into the sky and gathered towards the snowflakes that You Huan had turned into.
Once infected by its virus, a living organism will develop irreversible fusion characteristics, and its original sanity will be gradually corroded.
When the time is right, the lord will swallow up the enemy infected by his virus and turn the enemy into his own.
Even You Huan in the state of melting snow is not immune to this virus - even if he melts snow, his essence is still a living being, and the virus will be attracted to him.
However...his ability is a natural counter to this virus, and also to this fused monster dog!
The enhanced cooling effect had already improved the physical condition to a sufficient degree, and Snowflake spun suddenly, transforming back into its beast form.
But this time, You Huan's four claws in beast form were still in a state of melting snow.
The corpse beast floating in the air looked like it was made of snowflakes, with wisps of snow floating out from under its claws.
"Ah-woo—"
The lord from the ice and snow hell raised his head and let out an ethereal and melodious howl.
As the sound waves spread outward, countless heat turned into a turbulent vortex, rapidly gathering towards him!
The temperature of the entire fertile pasture area began to drop rapidly!
"Crackling--"
Frost formed on the ground and multi-colored crystals appeared in the air. This was because gas components such as oxygen and helium had frozen into solids.
The viruses approaching You Huan were like little bugs flying into amber and solidified in place.
"Roar! Roar…"
The strange dog on the ground raised its head and roared continuously, but its upward leaping movements became slower and slower until it stopped in place.
The fusion process in the body gradually slowed down as heat was taken away and molecular movement slowed down, and finally stopped completely.
The corpse beast, hanging high in the air with its feet on the snow, glanced at the motionless strange dog on the ground, raised its head again, and let out a howl like a call:
"Woo——!"
The sound waves once again shook the vast land, and the temperature dropped once again!
The frozen air fell helplessly to the ground.
The many silver-white knights, corpse beasts, etc. inside the ranch were like travelers in the snow. After the invisible cold wind blew past, they were frozen in place and could no longer move.
The entire fertile pasture, this vast and boundless land, was completely frozen at this moment!
"…"
There was no wind, not even snow, only a dead, cold world.
The human girl opened her eyes wide and looked at this peaceful world through the vines that wrapped her.
Frost and snow covered all the world within reach of the naked eye. The sky and the earth became one, but above the white snow, there were very beautiful crystals. They were the product of solidified gas, and they were emitting a faint glow.
Everything in this colorful world, humans being slaughtered and killed, humans worrying about when they will have to sacrifice their babies, knights slaughtering humans, beasts eating human corpses...
Everything is permanently sealed in the cold, no more worries, no more pain, no more death.
She stretched out her hand, as if to touch this frozen world.
This is what happened to her, a beautiful miracle.
