Chapter 255: Big Ice Block +1

It wasn’t that Liang Yu didn’t want a larger Snow Demon; on the contrary, he specifically sought out this one, as a Snow Demon that was too large could easily cause problems.

The movie’s description stated that it could freeze an island in a few minutes, so a smaller one would at least have its power within a controllable range.

Following Liang Yu’s command, the Snow Demon began to unleash its signature skill, Icebound Breath, towards the freshwater lake in front of it.

A pure white beam of light surged from the Snow Demon’s mouth, and as it struck the water’s surface, it immediately formed ice in the surrounding area.

As the Icebound Breath continued to spray, the lake surface quickly froze over, but Liang Yu knew it wasn’t enough; only the upper part was frozen, and the ice layer below was still liquid.

After a short rest, the Snow Demon continued to release Icebound Breath onto the already frozen lake surface.

Under the Snow Demon’s prolonged output, the surrounding map environment began to be affected.

The first place to show abnormalities was beneath the Snow Demon’s feet; the previously dry land had now formed a thick layer of ice.

Next, around the Snow Demon, snowflakes continuously condensed and fell, and in just a moment, the accumulated snow was two to three centimeters thick.

However, this was only within a dozen meters of the Snow Demon; beyond that, everything remained as it was.

Even more miraculously, at the edge of this snowy area, the snow bordering the hot external environment did not melt, possibly because it was nighttime.

The outside temperature was not as high as during the day, and with the Snow Demon still continuously outputting, the snow layer began to thicken.

Liang Yu looked with satisfaction at the diligently working Snow Demon; besides resting when it was tired, it completely devoted itself to completing the tasks Liang Yu assigned, so how could Liang Yu not be satisfied?

Liang Yu himself didn’t just stand by and watch the whole time; at least he did something, though this something allowed him to legitimately slack off.

To put it plainly, Liang Yu was using equipment to detect the freezing status of the lake water; currently, over forty percent of the entire lake was frozen.

At the same time, he deployed several drones around the Snow Demon to prevent anyone from ambushing it.

He wasn’t afraid of the Snow Demon being ambushed and killed—whether the attackers had that ability was another matter—but he was mainly afraid of angering the Snow Demon and causing it to act recklessly in its rage, potentially returning this entire area to its state during the cold wave.

Seeing that it would still take some time to freeze the lake, Liang Yu confidently entrusted this task to the Snow Demon, while he himself went back to take a hot bath.

At the same time, he called Lan Ling over, and they had a friendly exchange of their experiences.

By the time Liang Yu returned to the cockpit, a long time had passed; he saw that the Snow Demon had stopped freezing the lake and was instead beginning to build its own nest beside it.

Liang Yu glanced at the detection equipment; the entire lake was basically frozen, with only a small area in the very center still unfrozen, but this did not significantly affect the overall situation.

Liang Yu instantly teleported to the edge of the lake and directly collected the entire lake, which had been frozen into a block of ice.

After the lake was taken away, Liang Yu observed that the inlet for water should also have been frozen by the Snow Demon; perhaps it would thaw when the sun rose tomorrow.

Having put away the lake, Liang Yu looked at the Snow Demon, which was still building its nest, and felt a bit uncertain as he held the spirit ball in his arms.

He wondered if this spirit ball could contain the Snow Demon.

He instantly teleported again to a position about three meters from the Snow Demon; as soon as he arrived, Liang Yu felt a chill.

He was a bit confused; if he felt a chill because his face was unprotected, that would be one thing, but why was his body also starting to feel cold?

He was wearing a constant-temperature suit, after all.

Could it be that his clothes had malfunctioned?

Liang Yu didn’t dare to stay there long; after throwing the spirit ball at the Snow Demon, he immediately teleported to a safe area.

When the spirit ball he threw hit the Snow Demon, the spirit ball opened in mid-air, and a stream of light emerged from within, enveloping the Snow Demon; as the stream of light completely covered the Snow Demon, its form continuously shrank, then followed the stream of light back into the spirit ball.

Liang Yu, having emerged from the Snow Demon’s constructed nest, still felt a chill invading his body, even in the forty to fifty-degree environment.

He roughly understood what was happening; after continuously teleporting to retrieve the spirit ball containing the Snow Demon from the nest, he quickly took out a medical kit and used it on himself.

After using the medical kit, his body was enveloped in a green light, and he felt incredibly comfortable.

The cold that had been invading his body was completely eliminated.

With his body restored to health, Liang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief; he now understood that it wasn’t the constant-temperature clothing that had a problem, but the Snow Demon’s nest.

Even during the cold wave’s minus seventy-degree low temperature, Liang Yu wouldn’t feel cold going out like that, much less have his body invaded by cold as it was this time.

Simply put, after entering the Snow Demon’s nest, because his body wasn’t strong enough, he had already started accumulating debuffs.

It was fortunate that Liang Yu ran fast enough; if he had stayed inside for a little longer, his entire body might have been completely invaded by the cold.

Now, realizing it belatedly, Liang Yu felt a sense of dread; he had just been planning to take Lan Ling to play in the Snow Demon’s nest.

He could only say it was fortunate he didn’t bring her; Lan Ling’s physical fitness was only lower than his, and if he couldn’t last long, Lan Ling would be even worse.

He looked around; it didn’t seem like there were any Survivors.

Liang Yu only hoped that if there really were Survivors nearby, they wouldn’t do anything foolish.

Although, if he were in their shoes, suddenly discovering such a spectacle in hot weather, he would certainly be eager to run in and escape the heat.

However, Liang Yu didn’t want to bother; there should be no one in this vicinity anyway.

Even if there were, it would only be a few scattered individuals; if they really went in and froze to death, Liang Yu, considering he was the one who caused it, could only collect their bodies.

Returning to the RV from outside, Liang Yu went to the cockpit to organize some things, then suddenly felt drowsiness wash over him, his eyelids fighting to stay open.

Drowsy, Liang Yu opened the map, and after finding a suitable destination, he activated auto-driving, while he himself returned to his room to rest with his little wife in his arms.

At this moment, Liang Yu completely forgot that the drones he had deployed outside had not yet been retrieved.

And the RV had already started, driving towards the set destination.

The drowsy Liang Yu returned to the room, immediately collapsed onto the bed, and directly embraced the person on the bed, pulling her into his arms.
