Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 575 - 369. I can compete with the Knight to convince the World Tree Seed.

Chapter 575: 369. I can compete with the Knight to convince the World Tree Seed.

The hand that pulled the Mountain King Race warrior beneath the ice layers was, of course, Yang Fan’s hand.

For a Civilization World that had not long descended into the Primordial World, entering the Celestial Pillar Icefield during the blooming season of the Ice Soul Flower to proactively seek out a Mountain King Race squad was a mad endeavor.

But this was exactly what Yang Fan did.

He created an avatar, utilized his superpower to transform into a mist of ice, and infiltrated the layers of ice, disguising himself as an Ice Demon.

This Mountain King Race, who frequented the Celestial Pillar Icefield throughout the years, failed to detect him and were completely deceived.

Yang Fan himself hid nearby, and as Achilles approached to launch an attack, Yang Fan swiftly dragged him into the ice layers.

This was an imitation of an Ice Corpse’s attack.

Such an ambush strategy was exceedingly simple, yet remarkably effective.

Then.

Yang Fan silently emerged from the ice layers, carrying Achilles with one hand, and tossed him onto the icy surface.

"Bang!"

A dull thud sounded.

Achilles lay motionless on the ground.

His eyes were frozen in place, with a deep sense of terror still lingering within.

He could never have imagined that, having slain no less than a hundred and fifty, if not two hundred, Ice Demons, he would lose his own life during such a trivial task.

Yang Fan gazed at the Mountain King Race squad and smiled, "You were too careless."

He spoke in the Great Xia Language.

Yet he wasn’t concerned about them not understanding, as warriors from a primordial great clan like the Mountain King Race would all be equipped with devices capable of understanding various languages.

This was the foundation of a great clan.

A hundred meters away.

The remaining four Mountain King Race members each wore a grim expression.

It wasn’t that the loss of their comrade made them feel sorrowful; in the cultural tradition of the Mountain King Race, dying on the battlefield was a warrior’s fate.

Rather, it was that the enemy had played a near-humiliating trick on them with such a simple method.

The captain’s eyes were as cold as razor blades, "An outsider from the Civilization World, is it?"

As soon as the opponent appeared, he keenly sensed a unique aura that did not belong to the Primordial World.

This aura could only belong to the Civilization World.

The captain then glanced at his comrades, grinning fiercely, "Capture this outsider and take him back. I want to throw him into the Ice Ant Nest to suffer for ten days and nights."

He sensed through a secret technique that the outsider was just a high-rank warrior.

And they had two high-rank warriors and two middle-rank warriors, so he had ample confidence in capturing the opponent.

This was the first time Yang Fan had heard of Ice Ants, and he curiously asked, "Is this punishment very cruel?"

The captain was a bit confused upon hearing this.

He couldn’t quite understand the outsider’s mindset. We’re planning to kill you, yet you’re concerned about whether the punishment is cruel?

Are you insane?!

The captain thought for a moment and still answered, "Ice Ants can secrete a paralyzing toxin. Any creature thrown into an Ice Ant Nest would be nibbled to death piece by piece while still alive."

This was clearly not just cruel but an extremely terrifying form of torture.

Yang Fan further inquired, "Where can I catch Ice Ants?"

He thought that this toxin might be usable in the medical field, and thus wanted to bring back some Ice Ants.

During their conversation.

The Mountain King Race members, moving fast enough to leave afterimages, spread out and surrounded Yang Fan.

This was the true reason the captain was willing to waste time talking with the outsider — to stall for time.

Yang Fan glanced around and smiled, "Very well! Now you’re alone with no one else around."

As far as he knew, the ice armor equipped by the Mountain King Race had a special ability such that when at a close distance, companions could share the damage.

So dealing with just the captain alone was certainly easier than taking on the entire squad at once.

The captain was taken aback, instinctively sensing that something was amiss, and quickly shouted, "Attack!"

But it was too late.

Before he could finish speaking.

Yang Fan already leaped into the air and punched from a hundred meters away.

"Boom!"

The air exploded with a violent sound.

A ball of internal force burst forth from his fist, shooting towards the captain like a cannonball.

This was the hallmark technique of a high-rank warrior — Manifestation Transformation of internal force.

If a middle-rank warrior tried to punch with internal force over a distance, the force would weaken more with distance, the power naturally decreasing.

However, Manifestation Transformation could minimize the weakening.

This was why the Manifestation Transformation of internal force became the core reason for this technique being the signature combat skill of high-rank warriors.

Yang Fan’s punch wasn’t merely about Manifestation Transformation.

Before he punched, the internal force within his body began to oscillate rapidly, this was — Thousand Instant Shocking Force.

It was a technique he had analyzed from the Iron Fist People through star formation analysis from Gaba Muda.

On the other side.

The Mountain King Race captain stepped forward and raised his left hand at the fastest speed, his body armor vibrating with a "buzz."

Countless strands of ice silk emerged instantly, rapidly growing and forming into a large, translucent shield.

Though the ice shield appeared fragile, seemingly breaking with a hammer blow, its strength was beyond imagination.

This was the defense secret technique that the Mountain King Race had studied for thousands of years — the Ice King Shield.

Whenever the captain used the Ice King Shield during competitions with his kin, it could block attacks from warriors of the same rank.

So he was extremely confident that the Ice King Shield would surely block the outsider’s attack.

Simultaneously.

The captain moved his right hand, a cold mist surged up, coagulating into an extremely sharp ice spear.

He was determined to pin the outsider to the ground with the ice spear and then torture them by the most brutal means.

The next moment.

The internal force forged ahead unyieldingly, colliding with the Ice King Shield.

"Boom!"

An explosive sound rang out.

At that moment.

A huge shock of astonishment flickered in the captain’s eyes.

Because he clearly sensed a terrifying internal force erupting from the ball of internal force.
