The sharp ice spikes and the golden heavy shield collided with each other, and the ice demon didn't expect that someone would be able to resist the blow he had thrown all his might, and the huge recoil force struck, which suddenly made its already overwhelmed body even more stagnant. And at this time, Marfa, who heard Annie's shout, suddenly stepped forward with the mercenaries, who almost relied on the body of the ice demon to come behind it, and then the mercenaries raised their long swords high, and then slashed hard.

Counting the gorgeous and dazzling sword brilliance flashed through the air, the bright red flames flowed down the long sword, and pounced towards the taut straight tail, and with a tragic wail, the ice demon's long tail suddenly broke in response, and the ice demon who was hit by this heavy blow finally no longer had the ferocity and power it had before, it began to sway from side to side in embarrassment, and the sense of balance that lost the support of the tail was completely broken at this moment, and then the ice demon's body was crooked, and he fell to the ground again. However, it was clearly not intent on giving up, and as it let out a scream like a trapped beast, the Ice Demon rolled and struggled to get up again, and it looked up, the elemental light in its eyes had never been brighter than it was now——— and even in that moment, even the brilliance of the sun was lost.

However, there was only that moment.

A dazzling meteor swept across the sky, and Rhodes turned his sword into a beautiful light, and just like that, he fell from the sky, and the short sword in his hand staggered forward, and then he swooped down.

For the mercenaries, they may never forget the scene in front of them.

The terrifying, huge monster raised its head, opened its mouth and let out a terrifying roar, and at the same time, a shining pillar of light fell from the sky, impartially penetrating the ice demon's head, and the huge impact mixed with the whirlwind spread out in all directions, so fast that it even exceeded the ice demon's reaction, only to see the meteor flash down, passing through the ice demon's skull, and then with the ice demon as the center, the surrounding ice sinked violently, forming a huge depression dozens of meters wide. Until this time, the ice demon still maintained a posture of standing upright, and time seemed to freeze at this moment, and after a while, the monster's huge body fell to the ground as if it had been hit by an invisible big hand, and lost its breath.

"The Holy Soul is on ..............."

Looking at the scene in front of them, the mercenaries couldn't help but subconsciously hold their breath, although they all knew very well that Rhodes had a strong strength, but at this moment, this strength was manifested in the most intuitive and barbaric way at this moment. Under that thunderous blow, everyone's hearts involuntarily gave birth to irresistible weakness and fear, if they faced that blow, I am afraid that there was no other choice but to close their eyes and wait for death.

However, the mercenaries' exclamations only lasted for a moment, because in the next moment, Rod's figure appeared in front of everyone in a little embarrassed, and he didn't even have the time and strength to face the mercenaries' exclamations, but quickly made a gesture to them, and then ordered in a low voice.

"Let's go!!"

And as Rod spoke, a low, thunderous sound sounded from under the ice, and then a huge crack in the Dao emerged from it.

Standing on the shore and looking at the frozen lake in front of him, Rhodes couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Without the influence of the Ice Demon's elemental power, this abnormal frozen lake finally began to change as it should, and the heavy ice began to shatter, melt, and float in the waters of the lake that had been sealed. At this moment, the frozen lake is completely different from before, the broken ice floe floats in the lake, and from time to time you can see the scene of huge ice falling off and falling into the lake to make waves. If you just look at this scene, you may even think that you are in the Arctic Ocean. And just as Rhodes was leisurely admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, Marfa's voice came from beside him.

"My lord, is this the end?"

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Rod turned his head, only to see that his subordinates were looking at him nervously and moving——— this scene even made Rod a little trance, as if he was back in the game again, and after leading a group of rookie players to conquer the dungeon, they were also around him like this, looking at him with nervous, moving and excited eyes. Soon, though, Rhodes came to his senses and nodded to the crowd.

"That's right, the mission is over, and we succeeded."

"Oooh oh !!"

Hearing Rod's affirmative answer, these mercenaries suddenly shouted excitedly, they raised their arms high, and their faces showed unprecedented joy and joy, even Lijie and the two spirit masters beside her couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene, looking at their companions who were celebrating wantonly.

It's no wonder that these mercenaries are so excited, although before this, under the leadership of Rod, they have also fought against monsters, but at that time, most people were basically playing soy sauce, and the main attack was still by people with strong strength such as Rod and Seven Love and Celia. Of course, it is naturally a good thing for the mercenaries to be able to win, but if they always play soy sauce, they will also have some regrets, and this time, although Rod is still in charge of the main attack, but these mercenaries did not just stay on the side to watch the show as before, but completely wielded their strength in the battle, and it is precisely because of their full dedication that these mercenaries will be so excited and excited in the depths of their hearts at this moment.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Rod nodded with satisfaction. This is the reason why he didn't call the Seven Loves this time, although it is said that there is a Fire Elemental Lord, even if it is a sealed Fire Elemental Lord, because of the elemental restraint, it is no problem to restrain the Ice Demon in such a battle. But Rhodes didn't do this, because he had already realized that if he only relied on the strength of a limited number of people such as himself to complete every battle and mission, it would not be a good thing for his subordinates, not to mention that they worked so hard under the training of canaries and bubbles, not to follow him to play soy sauce. And this time, Rod didn't bring Seven Love, and didn't even summon Celia and Celestina, but only called the Hellhound and the Soul Bird symbolizing Xing, for the sake of Ji's own fighting spirit.

Sure enough, seeing that a few of the main masters in Pingri were not there, the swing of these mercenaries was also unprecedentedly good, of course, although they were also a little embarrassed in the face of the ice demon, but it was not easy to do this, although it was said that Rhodes attracted most of the attention of the ice demon, and he was also the main attacker. But if there weren't these mercenaries on the side to sao and give him time to concentrate on dealing with the ice demon, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to clean up this monster so easily. And through this battle, Rhodes also has more confidence in his subordinates, and he can perform like this in the face of ice demons who are so much higher than them, and some Bo Sisse of the same level can let them do it themselves.

After this, the group returned to Greentree again. This time, however, the townsfolk had a completely different attitude towards them, after learning from the judge that the monster that had plagued the entire Cranmer region for hundreds of years had finally disappeared, the townspeople showed unprecedented movement, and many of them ran to the edge of the frozen lake, looking at the melting lake with tears in their eyes——— those who once remembered what the frozen lake looked like before it was frozen were already dead, and now no one in the Cranmer area knew what was really under the heavy ice of the frozen lake, And now, they can finally get what they want.

Naturally, Rhodes and his party who defeated the Ice Demon were greeted with unprecedented hospitality by the townspeople of Greentree, and the mayor even held a grand celebration banquet in the town's vast field to welcome and thank the heroes who had defeated the monsters and brought hope back to the Cranmer region.

Although compared to the previous townspeople, they had to drive them away aggressively, but now they are a little unhappy with their smiling faces. However, the mercenaries quickly put this little dissatisfaction behind them, and at the banquet, the mayor apologized to the mercenaries on behalf of the town for their previous behavior, so the mercenaries did not say anything more, but quickly immersed themselves in the wine, food, and flowers.

"Looks like they're having a great time."

Rhodes sat by the window, looking at the banquet not far away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't go to the banquet like the others, but rested alone in the hotel room, and the reason why he did this was that in addition to the fact that Rhodes didn't like noisy places, there was a more important thing to do than attending the banquet in front of him.

"It's been a long time since I've seen this familiar prompt."

Looking at the system prompt box that appeared in his eyes, Rod couldn't help muttering to himself, since responding to Lydia's call to go to the Pafield defense line, Rod has never received any reliable tasks, to be honest, after coming to this world, Rod is really a little confused about the touch mechanism of the mission. In the game, missions like guarding the Parfield Line should naturally be counted in the touch mission mechanic. However, in this world, it is completely different, most of the quest system is not given, only some quests about fortress construction and upgrades, and associated summoning swordsmen will be touched by the system. Because of this, although Rhodes can be said to have gained a lot on the front line of Parfield, he has not gained any experience points and rewards in the system. I finally touched a "fiery rose." "The result ended in a rare failure.

It is precisely because of this that after seeing the system prompt of [Mission Completed] in front of him, Rod will sigh like this. However, he was not a Wenqing fan after all, but after a little emotion, he reined in his thoughts, began to stare intently at the prompt in front of him, and then stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on it. Soon, a crisp and pleasant prompt sounded, and a line of system prompts sounded

[Quest - Frozen Lake Completed]

[Gain experience reward 772ooo points, which can be upgraded]

【Please select a mission reward】

This experience has given me a lot.

Seeing the system prompt in front of him, Rod couldn't help but whistle, in fact, this is the reason why he cares so much about the system task. In this world, Rhodes doesn't need to share his experience with others, the experience after each task is completed will be enjoyed by himself, and because of this, Rhodes' upgrade will be so fast, almost a thousand miles, if you want to calculate it according to the equal distribution of reward experience in the game, I'm afraid Rod will not be promoted to the level forty master level realm in such a short period of time. And with the increase of the level, the amount of experience required is also increasing, if the Frozen Lake task this time is calculated according to the equal distribution, I am afraid that Rhodes is only enough to upgrade to one level, but now, the experience of the entire team is enjoyed by him alone, so at least he can be upgraded by two or three poles. This is a godsend for a player.

However, at the moment, Rhodes did not immediately choose to upgrade, but first focused on the part of the task reward.

The rewards of the [Frozen Lake] quest are divided into two categories, one of which is to open the passage of the water elemental plane and summon a low-level water elemental Jing spirit. Rhodes had the idea of this reward before, but after obtaining the Illusory Key in the random rewards of the Karst Plateau Ruins, this reward has been abandoned by Rhodes, and the Sea Jing Spirits summoned through the Illusory Realm Key are obviously more reliable than those low-level water element Jing Spirits, and Rod will naturally not be stupid enough to waste such an opportunity to reward. Soon, he focused on another option.

【Please select a reward ———— water elemental xingjing spirit summoning card】

Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Rhodes hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his finger and lightly tapped on the pattern of the card.

Soon, with Rod's movements, the system prompt in front of him turned into the brilliance of Dao Dao Jin Sè and fused together, and then, a card emerged from it, flipped and fell into Rod's hand——— which was completely different from the card that Rod had before, this was a card with a whole body of water blue, white sè, and complex patterns appeared at the edges, with a bit of chill. And in the upper corner of the front of this card, a pure white "III" comes into view. Then, a series of detailed instructions for the system surfaced in Rod's eyes.

【Obtained Frozen Death 1/1o, Light Snow】

[Light snow (water element high jing spirit genus xing): netg spirit, not fused, element netg. Possess the skill——— Water Breath (The gentle flow of water can soothe all pains and live forever)

Water Elemental Netg (The Temptation of the Water Spirit)

Lord-level netg spirits, up to three) ?????????

Growth Rate: O】

Seeing the words "growth rate", Rod couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then he turned over the card, only to see that on the front of the card, it was a crystal ball, in which a humanoid shadow could be vaguely seen, but he couldn't see the true face of the other party. Underneath this card, there are two big numbers, 5 and 7.

Attacking 5 and defending 7, it can be seen that this is a card that is biased towards defense and healing, and for Rod, this is a very satisfactory result. At the moment, most of the cards in Rod's hands are attack-oriented, and there are not enough support and defensive cards, which is also a problem for Rod. The reason why summoning swordsmen can become one of the three major single-brush classes is that summoning swordsmen can supplement and replace a team's strength by summoning jing spirit cards. And a full team, output, support, healing, and meat shield are all essential. And now most of Rod's hands are outputs, only the Centaur Knight and Nether Tentacles can be regarded as defensive cards, and as for support and healing, there is no at all.

Suddenly, this card and Seven Love seem to be quite similar, but the two are completely different, the card of Seven Love is extremely domineering, and the card of the Frozen Death in front of him is relatively low, in terms of defense it is not even as good as the initial genus xing of the Nether Tentacles, and in terms of attack it is only slightly higher than the soul bird, if this card is only to this extent, then it is not a precious variety among the summoning cards.

However, the growth rate on the card represents its extraordinary——— which also means that this is a card that grows. Rather than being awakened by the Core of the Soul, this card is more of a card created entirely by summoning a swordsman.

Awakening and creation are completely different from the two.

For example, summoning cards such as Seven Loves, Star Marks, and Nightmares can be improved by promotion, not so much as to improve, but to lift their seals and restore them to their original abilities and states, and the values and abilities they present when they arrive are the strength of these cards when they are restored to their true physical strength. Just like the soul bird, Rhodes only needs to advance once, and look at its sad attack value that has only increased a little, and he knows that its future is worrying, even if it is completely promoted three times, the soul bird will only increase its attack by 3 points at most, which is traceable.

But the card created is completely different, it's like a newborn child who doesn't know anything but its own natural skills. How it grows depends entirely on how the summoner uses it, and because of this, the values of the cards created are completely unfixed. At the first level, it is likely to significantly increase the defensive stats as the player focuses on defense. However, if the player concentrates on honing their offensive abilities after that, it may even outperform its defensive damage stats in the second promotion.

That's where creating a card differs from an awakening card.

That's good luck.

Looking at the cards in his hand, Rod couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, and then he put the cards aside and began to instinctively flip through them.

But at this moment, Rod's attention was suddenly attracted by a line of system prompts.

[Reward for completing the quest and get 1 Sword Creation Point]

What is this?

After seeing this line of system prompts, Rod's curiosity was immediately aroused.
