The predecessor of the Demon Spirit was the Elemental Spirit, which not only inherited the powerful affinity for elemental power from the Elemental Spirit, but also possessed the demonic aura of monsters, making their power more terrifying and formidable.
The Elemental Spirits have no specific form, completely random, but the seven Ice Demon Spirits in front of them are about five meters long and resemble icy snakes, coiled on a few giant pillars, and beyond that, you can vaguely see a construction-like appearance.
"After passing through here, the Elf Corridor is ahead. Through the Elf Corridor, we can directly go to the entrance of the sixth floor," Krom said at this time.
"These ice attribute Demon Spirits are a bit difficult to deal with!" Ouben pinched his chin and frowned. Elemental Spirits are favored by the heavens and the earth, and their magic is very powerful.
"Let's divide and allocate. Our Bloodwolf Adventure Group will be responsible for four Demon Spirits, and the rest of you can allocate accordingly, how about that?"
"Okay, we will take care of two Demon Spirits!" Xing said. If they were in good condition, they could handle four Demon Spirits, but now they were already at their limit with just two.
"The remaining one is for me!" Krom twisted his neck. After all, he was still in the state of a Hero, relying on Lulumon's mana support. He could be considered as part of Bexia's group.
"Now that the allocation is settled, let's finish it quickly. It would be troublesome if we attract other monsters."
"Got it! Let's finish it quickly." Xing and the others nodded. There was no need to say more about this.
"Then let's get started!"
Ouben drew out a blood-colored wolf head longsword. Star glanced at this weapon and felt that it looked somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen it. However, the current situation was the most important, so she decided to forget about these things for now.
There were about thirty combatants out of the forty members of Bloodwolf Adventure Group, and the other injured members were responsible for guarding the surroundings. Thirty fighters against seven Demon Spirits seemed to have an advantage, but it was similar to Elementalists; having more people didn't always make a difference.
"Hiss!"
The Ice Snake Demon Spirits exhaled a chilling mist, and a flash of blood radiated from their eyes, instantly releasing a wave of cold air. A thick layer of ice formed on the ground in the blink of an eye.
"Be careful, Elementalists, quickly use fire to melt this ice!"
Ice had a strong freezing power, although not to the extent of immobilizing, it still affected movement. And when these Ice Snake Demon Spirits landed on the ice, with the smooth surface and their icy bodies, their swimming speed significantly increased, which was the most terrifying aspect.
"Ah! Help!"
A member of the Bloodwolf Adventure Group was entangled by an Ice Snake Demon Spirit, and with a wide-open bloody mouth, it bit down on him, instantly turning him into an ice sculpture.
"Fire Mage, quickly use fire to melt this ice!" Ouben looked at the dead member, his eyes turned cold, and he expressionlessly swung his sword at the Ice Snake Demon Spirit, instantly cutting it in half, but due to the ice sealing, no blood splashed out.
"Captain, there are almost no fire elements here, so fire magic is useless!" The fire mage in the team responded helplessly.
"Damn it!" Ouben immediately used his sword to block the icy breath from the severed Ice Snake Demon Spirit. These Elementalists-like creatures, except for being destroyed in vital areas, were not fatal elsewhere. They only needed to expend some mana to regroup.
The ice serpent demon spirit, which had been cut off, angrily lunged at Aubyn again. Its severed body merged back together into a mist, but this reassembled form appeared much weaker than before.
"Quickly deal with these filthy things. Their weakness is in their heads," Crom said, his hands wielding his battle axe as he leapt into the midst of the ice serpent demon spirits. The powerful impact sent the demons flying, and the one he struck shattered into pieces, with shards of ice flying everywhere.
"Hiss!" The demon spirit angrily conjured a large number of ice arrows, attacking indiscriminately without aiming at any target.
"Clang, clang, clang!" Crom's massive battle axe turned into a shield, deflecting the ice arrows. Approaching once again, a gleam of gold flashed on the battle axe, and in that moment of darkness, the demon spirit instantly froze in place. Then came the sound of cracking, and it ultimately turned into a pile of fragments.
After Crom swiftly dealt with one ice serpent demon spirit, Aubyn was the second, and Starmoon Adventure Team's Bru was the third. The remaining four demon spirits were quickly eliminated. However, the icy ground did not disappear; it was not just because of the magic power, but also because it was naturally very cold in this place.
"Let's continue forward!" Crom put away his battle axe and looked at the nearby Elf Corridor. He had spent some time here before, so he was quite familiar with the surroundings.
Elemental spirits are completely composed of elemental power, so when they die, they leave nothing behind. These monsters are difficult to deal with and offer no rewards. Adventurers dislike them the most.
However, adventurers love encountering elemental spirits because they require harsh conditions to be born. Although elemental spirits are not easy to deal with, encountering them means that the elemental power in the area is strong, and there is a great possibility of finding magic stone veins.
Magic stones, you know, are one of the most valuable items. They have a wide range of uses, high demand, and scarce production. Their value has always been high.
As they slowly approached the Elf Corridor, this building with a history of several thousand years still retained its former glory. It had intricate carvings, magnificent images, beautiful sculptures, and more.
"Why is it so cold here? The air is filled with dense ice elemental power." Aubyn looked at the wall beside him and reached out to touch the temperature. His face instantly showed surprise.
"Could this be an ice magic stone vein?"
"Yes, it's just a small ice magic stone vein, nothing worth caring about," Crom said indifferently.
An ice magic stone vein! Although it's only a small vein, how much is its value? If fully exploited, its worth would be at least in the billions, if not tens of billions. Only the elven race could casually say "nothing worth caring about."
A glimmer flashed in Aubyn's eyes in the darkness. He followed behind Starmoon Adventure Team and Bexia, furrowed his brows slightly, then relaxed and caught up with everyone's footsteps.
As they followed Crom into the Elf Corridor, the temperature inside became even colder than outside. It was so cold that even Lulumon was trembling, and there was almost no presence of fire elements here. It was impossible to rely on fire magic to keep warm, so they had to rely on their own bodies to resist the cold. As a mage, naturally, Aubyn didn't possess the strength of a warrior.
