Mage Adam Chapter 173: Snow bug
"Rice, has the blizzard stopped?" Panic was spreading in the underground cave. The five adventurers were clinging to each other, and Caesar, who was so handsome that it was impossible to tell the difference between men and women, asked this question for the first time.
The rest of the people looked at Rice with the same expectation. This dragon man, who was not liked by everyone before because he was too cold and cold, has become their only life-saving straw.
Before they came to the icefield with great ambitions on a hunting mission, they never thought they would encounter such a terrifying environment. If it wasn't for Rice's ice ability to create this burrow at a critical moment, their best The end is to leave a whole corpse in the terrifying ice elemental storm.
Rice was pale, and it took a lot of energy to maintain this cave: "Not yet." He felt impatient and didn't want to be distracted answering questions, but in order for these temporary companions to not break down because of fear, he had to Keep telling them about the changes in the blizzard, even if it's a lie: "But soon, I feel the riots of the elements subside."
The despairing hearts of the other four have once again injected a glimmer of hope. They are not blind. They have noticed the trembling of Rice's body. Obviously, the energy in his body is running out. No body will be left.
Caesar moved his uncomfortable longbow on his back and suggested softly: "After the blizzard stops, let's leave the ice field. The energy is about to run out, and there is no way to replenish it here."
The other three nodded.
Rice was irritable, and once again felt that it was a huge mistake to search for comrades so sloppily. These four people did nothing but drag him down, "You can do it, but I'm going to stay here."
Caesar kindly advised: "Rice, although you are very strong, it is impossible for you to kill the snow bugs by yourself. Why don't you leave with us and come back after a rest."
Rice ignored him and focused on maintaining the cave. Caesar wanted to say something, but was stopped by the other three.
After a brief silence, the snowstorm subsided abruptly. Rice pursed her lips and moved her hands away from the cave wall: "Stop, you can..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a violent vibration from the depths of the ice layer. Caesar stood up abruptly and pulled his longbow into a full moon. An elemental arrow was condensed and ready to be fired. shouted: "There's a big guy coming from the ground! Damn, it should be a snow worm!"

Camby on the icefield was facing a big enemy after hearing Adam's warning. There was a small amount of plant energy around his body. The creatures that could survive in the cruel environment of the icefield must be very powerful. He didn't expect Adam to protect him at all. Own.
Bang.
A hundred meters away, the ice layer exploded, and five figures rushed out of it. Camby was slightly taken aback: "Is it an ordinary race, an adventurer?"
"It's not them." Adam was suspended in the air, and the pseudo-domain formed by Longwei protected his whole body. He had already discovered these five adventurers, but he was not even interested in killing due to the energy fluctuations like ants. What he noticed was another creature.
The five adventurers screamed and rushed out of the ground. The extreme panic caused them, who had little cooperation, to be in chaos. They fled in all directions in a panic, and then the ice layer cracked inch by inch, making a penetrating squeak, and the next In seconds, a huge worm creature rushed out of the ice sheet.
This worm has a snow-white body with no variegation and no structure equivalent to limbs. The body is composed of many somites, the head is spike-shaped, the head organs are blurred, and there is only a huge mouth full of fine and sharp teeth. As the body wriggles, it continues to open and close, spewing white brilliance and creating blizzards, and devours all the substances that stand in its way.
"What is this?" Adam asked curiously. The worm was only five meters above the ice sheet, and the hidden body was unknown. It should be a powerful beast.
Camby said with a look of panic, "If I'm not mistaken, it's a snow bug."
"Snow bugs?"
"The monsters unique to the icefield, where there is ice and snow, can hardly be killed. They have no intelligence and are extremely cruel. They will never die and attack all creatures with energy fluctuations within the range until they are eaten. However, they eat Everything that is lost will be excreted after digestion, and the value of excrement is very high, so there are often adventurers who do not know whether to live or die." Camby's face was pale, but he did not expect such bad luck this time. Encountered the most terrifying monster on the icefield, "Sir, let's escape while it is attracted?"
Adam didn't mean to run away. Although the snow worm looked terrible, it had not yet reached the true supernatural level and posed no threat to Adam. He took advantage of the opportunity of the snow worm chasing the adventurer and picked it up on the ground. A square looking suspicious object.
"Power Stone?"
Adam is surprised~IndoMTL.com~ I didn't expect that there are such creatures in the multi-planet that can generate stable energy blocks from the body. This kind of thing is exactly the same as the power stone of the mage plane, and even the amount contained in it is different from The quality is even more purer.
Camby followed Adam step by step, thinking that Adam was asking him, and hurriedly replied: "This is the excrement of the snow worm. The racial alliance calls it an ice element crystal, but it is also good to call it a power stone."
On the Mage Plane, mages can freely transform power stones of different attributes, but obviously the Dragon Plane does not have this technology.
Adam feels that he knows the reason why the power stone of the mage plane is not of high value. This kind of creature that can produce power stone may be very common in the multi-planet, which means that in every plane battle, you can get it. Massive power stone resources.
While thinking about it, the snow worms have swallowed three adventurers, and the remaining two are running away to the calmest place nearby. The escaping breath on its body can form an elemental storm. If the level is too far away from it, it cannot even fly away, so it can only obediently become its food.
At this moment, Adam felt the snow worm turn over on the ground, bringing up a large bulge of the ice field, and also rushing towards him.

"Rice, forget it, I'm doomed." Caesar's longbow has been lost, a large area of his body has been frozen by frost, and his feet have lost the ability to move.
Rice made his way through the blizzard made by snow bugs without saying a word.
"Put me down and run for your own life. If you can, go to Lepu City to take care of my sister." Caesar's upper body struggled.
"Shut up." Rice viciously sealed Caesar's mouth, dragging him to a vigorous leap, dodging the energy beam spurted by the snow bug.
