The two Ice Silkworms stuck to the Sea Dragon Kingâs body. The Sea Dragon King immediately shivered and his actions became unnatural as he struggled to get the Ice Silkworms off him.
However, the Crab Sovereign held onto its head tightly. The Sea Dragon King was momentarily unable to escape, so its body became increasingly stiff.
What powerful Ice Silkworms.
Zhou Wen could see with his naked eye that frost was spreading on the Sea Dragon Kingâs scales. The Sea Dragon Kingâs body was turning stiffer.
Before long, the gigantic Sea Dragon King lost its combat ability. It was as though it was in hibernation as its body froze.
Indeed, itâs better to have a restraining effect when killing monsters.
Zhou Wen didnât even need to attack. As the Sea Dragon King couldnât retaliate, the Crab Sovereign finished it off.
The two Ice Silkworms were still stuck to the Sea Snake Kingâs body. The blood in the Sea Snake Kingâs body had already frozen. After a while, the Crab Sovereignâs two giant pincers finally split the Sea Snake Kingâs body into two, but he only found a stat crystal.
âHow stingy. He didnât even drop a Companion Egg,â Li Xuan said gloomily.
âHow can Companion Eggs drop so easily?â Zhou Wen was already used to it. After putting away the stat crystal, he glanced at the bottomless blue hole and thought for a moment. âSince weâre here, letâs go down and take a look.â
The Crab Sovereign led the three of them deeper into the blue hole. There were many sea snakes around, but with the Crab Emperorâs gravity bubble opening up a path for them, no sea snake could approach them.
âThis blue hole is so deep. Iâm afraid itâs about to reach the other side of Earth.â After diving for a while, the Crab Sovereign still failed to reach the bottom of the blue hole.
The blue hole seemed bottomless. They had dived so deep that even the sea snakes didnât appear again.
Most of the sea snakes lived in snake caves on the rock walls, but at this depth, even the snake caves couldnât be seen.
âThere seems to be something down there?â Li Xuan leaned on the Crab Sovereign and looked down as though he had seen something.
Zhou Wen also looked over and indeed, he saw a swath of crystalline jade-blue below, as though the crystal cave was glowing.
However, even crystals needed light to show any reflection. It was naturally impossible for light to exist in such a deep sea. The glowing crystals were definitely extraordinary.
As the Crab Sovereign dived deeper, the blue light gradually became clearer. Only then did the two realize that it was a thick glacier.
âThatâs strange. Isnât the Sea Dragon King afraid of the cold? Why would it live in such a cold place?â Li Xuan asked in puzzlement.
âThere must be a reason. Perhaps the secret is in the glacier. The ice definitely wouldnât glow by itself. There might be something inside,â Zhou Wen said as he sized up the glacier.
âCould it be a snake egg produced by the Sea Dragon King? If itâs a snake egg, perhaps I can tame it like a Gu.â Li Xuan reached his hand into the water and touched the glacier. He was immediately given a fright. The glacier was extremely cold. Just touching it nearly froze his fingers.
âThe Sea Dragon King is so afraid of the cold, so how can it lay its eggs here? At such a low temperature, I donât think the Sea Dragon King would dare approach because of the cold, right?â Zhou Wen ordered the Crab Sovereign to dig the ice.
The Crab Sovereign was very resistant to cold. Under Zhou Wenâs orders, it brandished its huge crab pincers and quickly cracked open the glacier.
More and more ice blocks were dug out as Zhou Wen and company finally saw what was glowing with blue light.
âIs that a tooth? The Sea Dragon Kingâs tooth?â The thing that emitted blue light from the glacier was a meter-long blue tooth that looked like it was carved from ice.
âItâs obviously not.â Zhou Wen got the Crab Sovereign to grab the tooth. After grabbing it, he immediately felt a chill from the tooth. Almost instantly, Zhou Wenâs hands froze.
Clang!
Zhou Wen hurriedly threw the tooth onto the Crab Sovereignâs back and couldnât help but be alarmed. With his physical strength and Essence Energy, ice immediately formed on him. The coldness emitted from the tooth was no less than a strike from a Mythical creature.
âCould this thing be...â Zhou Wen thought of a possibility.
âWhat is it?â Li Xuan asked.
âTypical dimensional creatures, even Mythical creatures, will rot and disintegrate after death. Only a very small number of corpses can be stored for a long period of time, but itâs impossible for them to maintain the strength back when they were aliveâunless itâs the corpse of a Terror-grade creature. A body in its Terror form can preserve Terror-grade power. It wonât rot and disintegrate so easily,â Zhou Wen said.
âIn that case, this is a tooth of a Terror form? What kind of creature is it? It canât be the Seven Seas Dragon Kingâs, right?â Li Xuan said.
Zhou Wen looked at the tooth and said, âItâs not impossible. The Sea Dragon King is clearly afraid of the cold, but thereâs such a tooth here. I think itâs unlikely that the Sea Dragon King placed it here. Perhaps the Seven Seas Dragon King placed it here to suppress it.â
âWho cares who placed it? Since itâs good stuff, letâs take it. What do you think this thing is for? Can it be made into a weapon?â Li Xuan said.
âI donât know. I donât know much about the Terror grade. I just heard that it is the true Mythical stage. Perhaps the materials obtained from a Terror-grade creature are useful.â Zhou Wen put on the Dragon Scale Armor and forcefully threw the ice-blue tooth into the Chaos Bead.
Although it only took a short period of time, the dragon scales on his hands had produced a layer of frost.
He got Crab Sovereign to dig deeper into the glacier, but it didnât find anything. This wasnât unexpected because other than the tooth, there was no more glow in the glacier.
Seeing that there was nothing else in the blue hole, Zhou Wen ordered Crab Sovereign to lead them out.
âWhere are we going next?â Li Xuan asked.
âLetâs go to Evil Dragon Island. I heard from Miya that thereâs a dragon monarch that looks like a crocodile there. Its defense and combat strength are extremely shocking. Furthermore, itâs not afraid of the cold. The Ice Silkworm will be useless this time, but Iâve already thought of a way to kill it. It shouldnât be difficult,â Zhou Wen said as he ordered Crab Sovereign to head towards Evil Dragon Island.
No human dared to approach such an island. Even the great devils overseas wouldnât casually enter such a place.
Using Miyaâs information, Zhou Wen and company easily found Evil Dragon Island and Dragon King.
It indeed looked like a crocodile, but it wasnât completely like a crocodile. Its body was much longer than a crocodile, and it had horns on its head. It could barely be considered a dragon.
Miya had explained that the dragon was afraid of poison. Zhou Wen secretly used the Invisibility Cloak and stabbed it in the eye. When it opened its mouth in pain, he threw the poisonous hair formed from Fatal Temptation into its mouth.
Soon, the Evil Dragon died. There was nothing there when they tore open its corpse.
âThis fellow is even stingier than the previous one,â Li Xuan said as his eyes suddenly lit up. âOld Zhou, do you think thereâs a tooth here?â
