At this time, Song Jian, having fused with the third-tier Demon Flame, the “Abyssal Flame,” was completely unaffected by the cold climate around him. He walked on the snow, only feeling a slight chill.

The most troublesome aspect of the level-15 elite Ice Demon s attack was the icy slowness and freezing effect carried by all its attacks. Although not powerful, it was very torturous. Combined with the defense of the Ice Demon being as good as steel, even a five-member level-15 team would find it quite difficult to deal with.

Yet Song Jian moved without any sign of sluggishness when battling the Ice Demon. A faint red glow would emerge from his body from time to time, which would be difficult to notice unless observed closely.

This was a feature of the Ring of the Fire God, its inbuilt shield reduced 30% of melee damage and rendered all cold-induced slowness and freeze effects ineffective.

Having the Ring of the Fire God, Song Jian practically counters the Ice Demon’s attributes. Adding the defense reduction effect of the Weakness Potion, the level-15 elite Ice Demon in front of Song Jian was, at most, just a common monster with more vitality points.

“Captain, look at his movements, there’s no hint of sluggishness at all. How… How…” A warrior watched, dumbfoundedly, as Song Jian sliced up and down around the Ice Demon with nimble movements, showing no signs of slows or freezes. He had participated in battles against the Ice Demon, and remembered being tormented by its slow and freeze effects.

“Could it be that he has some equipment that increases his ice resistance? Captain Zhou’s brow furrowed. He had realized that the opponent was likely a warrior-class occupation with no possibility of having fire magic. However, having fought for so long without a single slowdown or freeze effect, it was evident that his ice resistance had increased to a certain point.

“It feels like he could solo this boss, huh?” Councilor Wang adjusted his glasses with a furrowed brow, noting the deviation from his plan, “If he is really this powerful and manages to solo the boss, we won’t be to offer much help.” “Deputy, how about we send someone to help him now?” Councilor Wang proposed.

“If we had gone earlier, it would have been helping. But going now would just be kill-stealing, wouldn’t it?” The deputy frowned and glared at Councilor Wang, responding discontentedly.

“Look quickly, he’s about to defeat that boss!” Captain Zhou suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked towards the Ice Demon. Sure enough, its vitality points had fallen to less than 500, entering a berserk state due to low health.

“He didn’t get frozen once from beginning to end, nor showed any signs of ice slowdown…” Captain Zhou stated, somewhat speechless. Without the Ice Demon’s most troublesome ice slowdown and freeze effects, he would’ve been confident enough to grind it down alone.

-Did you see the potion he used just now? It directly weakened the Ice Demon’s defense by 35%! Without this potion, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat it so quickly!”

“impressive, we must recruit this guy. It would be best if he could join our alliance!”

“Councilor Zhou, go and talk to him. Be mindful of your attitude, even if he doesn’t want to join us, don’t leave him with a bad impression!”

“Understood, deputy!”

Just as Councilor Zhou prepared to approach and greet Song Jian, he noticed that after picking up all the items dropped by the Ice Demon, Song Jian immediately headed towards the Frost Cave.

“Could it be that, he actually knows how to open the Frost Cave dungeon?” The thought suddenly occurred to Councilor Zhou.

“How is that possible…” Very soon, Councilor Zhou was startled by his own thoughts. A self-mocking smile emerged on his face as he shook his head, talcing strides towards Song Jian’s direction.

-My brother, please…” Before Councilor Zhou could finish, he saw Song Jian take out a red bead and walk towards the gate of the Frost Cave.

Boom-

The Holy Flame Pearl suddenly flared with raging fire, completely enveloping Song Jian. The flames appeared severe but Song Jian didn’t feel a hint of heat, like an illusion.

The flames carried flecks of gold, constantly combining, condensing, and vanishing, making it resemble some sort of special Magic Array.

“The Holy Flame Pearl, could this flame be the so-called Holy Flame? I wonder how it fares against the third-tier Demon Flame, ‘Abyssal Flame’?” Song Jian wondered.

Just as this idea sprouted in his mind, Song Jian felt a “boom” as a sphere of black flames ignited from within his body, resisting the Holy Flame;

Flap, flap, flap-

The Abyssal Flame was nearest to Song Jian’s body, with a very clear boundary line. The outermost part was burning with traces of golden light, the Holy Flame, which was now continuously compressing inwards as the black flame expanded outwards. At the boundary line, tiny sparks were continuously popping.

Thunderous booming-

The moment Song Jian approached, the Ice Cave’s door opened automatically. A cold chill greeted his face, which would have turned any player without a protective layer of flame into an ice statue. The temperature around the entire snow mountain dropped by seven to eight degrees in an instant.

Song Jian stepped into the Frost Cave, the ice door behind him slowly closing. This left Councilor Wang, who had charged ten meters close to the snow mountain, dumbfounded. His raised hand made him look helpless.

-He, he entered, he actually entered?” Deputy Commander Sun’s serious face showed signs of surprise.

“How is that possible, it can’t be…” Captain Zhou muttered to himself, a look of disbelief covering his face. He felt a significant blow, having wasted more than a week here, alongside an excessive amount of time and energy, just to enter this dungeon. But now, someone else had done it first…

“Did you see what he took out just now?” The deputy suddenly asked, remembering that Song Jian seemed to have pulled out something just now. Then, he was enveloped by flames and only after did he enter the Frost Cave.

“It looked like a red bead…” A warrior replied uncertainly.

“It was a red bead that ignited itself. However, the black flames seemed to rise up from that person’s body…” An observant warrior nearby added on.

“It seems like that bead is key to entering the Frost Cave. To enter, one must possess this bead!” The deputy hypothesized, his eyes glinting as he spoke softly.

“Captain Zhou, arrange for a few people to stay here with Councilor Wang and wait for that person to come out. Everyone else should investigate more about that bead. Be fast!” Deputy Commander Sun quickly decided.

Within a short while, three warriors were left behind, while everyone else formed teams and moved in different directions.
