Soon, Billy arrived a few hundred meters away. Then, he raised his hand and released several powerful palm strikes towards the ice in front of him.
Boom!
After a muffled sound, a seven to eight-meter wide and three to four-meter deep ice pit appeared in front of him. In the center of the ice pit stood a waist-thick stone pillar.
Similarly, if the ice and snow on top were not smashed, outsiders would never have noticed that there was a stone pillar buried here.
Billy then used his spiritual power to envelop the stone pillar. As he stared coldly, the stone pillar shattered layer by layer at a visible speed from top to bottom.
“Ivy, go ahead!” At the same time, Billy looked towards Ivy and shouted.
“Okay!” Ivy responded loudly. After sorting out the formation lines with her spiritual power, she enveloped several rocks. Then, she blocked the formation line and turned to Casey, saying, “Boss, you can move now!”
“Got it!” Casey replied, raising his hand and releasing several strong palm strikes.
After the strike, several rocks burst into pieces, with stone chips flying everywhere.
“Billy, it’s done!” Ivy then shouted towards Billy.
Boom!
Before her voice fell, a loud noise echoed. Subsequently, large and small chunks of ice on the mountainside instantly exploded into pieces, splintering out like rows of blades, densely covering the sky.
“Be careful!” Casey yelled as he formed a defensive barrier around himself and Ivy.
Boom!
The ice chunks hit the defensive barrier, producing a dull sound. Although they failed to break Casey’s defense, they still pushed the two back by twenty to thirty meters, causing their blood to surge.
Just from the momentum, the power of these ice chunks was evident. If Ivy had faced them alone, she would have been severely injured.
Without much thought, Ivy immediately released her true energy to reinforce her defense.
“This array is really complicated!”
After about ten minutes, the splattering ice finally stopped, prompting Casey to exclaim.
In their previous encounters with arrays, they would face attacks until the formation was broken, after which the attacks would cease. However, in this array, even after both eyes were destroyed, such intense attacks continued.
This was all thanks to the array masters from before failing to break the array. Otherwise, without waiting for Reit to arrive, most of the several hundred or thousand people would have died! Normally, after an array was broken, the array masters would relax their vigilance, creating an opportunity.
“Indeed!” Ivy’s face revealed a trace of lingering fear.
In a while, Billy joined the two.
“Boss, the array has been broken, but why can’t we see the entrance?” Casey looked around and asked.
“The entrance is over there!” Billy pointed in the direction of the deep valley.
Casey and the others looked over and saw an ice cave that appeared out of nowhere a kilometer away.
“How amazing!” Casey remarked.
“Let’s go check it out!” After Billy spoke, he led the two towards the ice cave.
After about ten minutes, Harleen and the others also reached the entrance of the cave.
Similar to their previous experience in the ruins in the Southern Region, before entering the cave, they sensed a strong suppressing force spreading out. However, this time, it was several times stronger than before.
“It seems like there’s something extraordinary inside!” Frostblade couldn’t help but comment.
“Everyone, be cautious!” Billy said before stepping into the cave, followed closely by Casey and the others.
Upon entering the cave, there was a steep downhill path that zigzagged for several kilometers, covering a vertical distance of at least hundreds of meters.
To their surprise, there were no traps along the way, nor did they encounter any attacks from ferocious beasts.
“Oh my god!” After walking for a while, they arrived at the end of the passageway, and Soul Chaser couldn’t help but swear.
In front of them was a vast space, revealing a well-organized small town inside. Compared to the town they had seen in the Southern Region, this town was at least two to three times larger. Additionally, all the buildings were intact, lined up along the streets in an orderly manner, with trees planted on the sides of the streets that had withered due to the passage of time.
Many shops had their doors wide open, with stalls on the roadside left unattended.
Similar to the previous ruins, there was a tower in the center of the town. However, this tower was taller than the previous one, with a total of six floors, each about five to six meters high.
“Boss, can you sense any people inside this town?” Azure Dragon turned to Billy and asked.
“No,” Billy shook his head. Although his spiritual power was still severely hindered inside, with his current strength, exploring such a town was not particularly difficult.
He had already scanned the entire town and did not sense any living creatures or even ferocious beasts.
“I wonder what happened here in the past to make the shop owners not even have time to close their businesses.” Rakshasa couldn’t help but comment.
“It’s probably something similar to what happened in the town in the Southern Region. They must have encountered something extraordinary!” Night Orchid added.
“Let’s walk around and see if there’s anything special.” After a nod from Billy, the group split up and walked down different streets.
After about half an hour, they all gathered in a small square in the center of the town.
“How was it?” Billy asked the group.
“We didn’t find anything special!” Casey shook his head. “Besides furniture and items, there’s nothing else in the houses.”
“Some of the wealthier households have a lot of high-grade spirit stones,” Stout added enthusiastically.
Night Orchid chuckled, “Stout, all you care about are spirit fruits and spirit stones!”
“Hehe, they’re great treasures!” Stout grinned.
“Boss, I wonder if there’s anything inside this tower!” Casey pointed towards the tower not far away.
“Let’s go in and take a look!” Billy said before leading the group towards the tower.
Hiss!
As the group approached the tower, they felt a powerful suppressing force emanating from within.
Undoubtedly, the source of this force within the space should be this tower.
Subsequently, they entered the tower.
As expected, the suppressing force inside the tower was even stronger.
“There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly special inside this tower. Why is there such a strong suppressing force?” Bob remarked.
