Chapter 262: Polar Ice Seal
According to logic, Lielie shouldn’t have transformed into two smaller monsters, right?
However, the contaminated creatures before me showed no signs of having shrunk.
Wow, did they create something out of nothing?
I wonder if the monster after Lielie can split again.
Let’s give it a try.
Starry grabbed the sword hilt with both hands and spun it rapidly clockwise. The circular sword aura suddenly erupted and danced wildly!
-38777
-39610
-38556
…
Not only did the two in front take damage, but even the surrounding monsters jumped up from the damage.
The consequence of this was a sky full of contaminated curses pouring out, sealing off all escape routes!
“Wish—Flame!” Fortunately, Zane was always keeping an eye on the battle situation. As soon as he noticed something was off, he summoned a wall of fire immediately.
The fire wall was positioned behind Starry, blocking the attacks that erupted from behind her.
As Starry withdrew behind the fire wall, she avoided the contamination in front.
The elemental wall served as a transparent barrier for teammates, which was very useful.
Zane realized that reckless attacks would trigger the counterattack mechanism of these contaminated creatures.
Attacks like Ice Moon Slash that came with control could ignore the counterattack.
However, that didn’t mean they couldn’t attack; as long as they were confident in dodging the counterattacks, they could output damage safely.
If they could kill them instantly, perhaps that could also solve the problem.
“Wish—Spirit Heart!”
The sword tip rose, and the invisible sword aura swept out, Frenzied Sword!
Under the critical hit, the Frenzied Sword finished off several low-health enemies, leaving only a sliver of health on other full-health monsters in a straight line.
The reflection from the contaminated curse’s fire curtain was perfectly blocked.
Zane’s level jumped from 15 to 19. If he had leveled up the normal way, it would have taken several days to reach this progress.
It seems that the monsters after splitting still grant experience points. If that’s the case… as long as they keep a good rhythm, they should be able to farm here for a long time.
The only thing concerning was the continually increasing scale.
Each contaminated creature death resulted in splitting into two new bodies; just now, that one attack had created at least five more monsters.
Would it keep multiplying?
“Mo Se, can you devour these things?” Zane patted the back of the bug.
“… Mo Se didn’t reply but trembled silently a few times.
“Can’t eat them? Or are you afraid of indigestion?”
“⚠️Alert!”
Even the Sacred Demon Beetle couldn’t handle it? It seems these monsters have an impressive background.
Unfortunately, no matter how the monsters split, they would inevitably meet the fate of becoming experience.
After finding a strategy, Starry summoned Star Cat. The Ice Frost Tiger’s Ice Breath and Frost Claw had a chance to freeze, and the cooldown was only 10 to 20 seconds.
Combined with Starry’s high damage output, they could achieve single-target kills and also help Star Cat level up.
…
Ten minutes later, when Libri finally arrived with reinforcements, the number of contaminated creatures had increased by a whole circle compared to before!
Alu felt a chill in his heart and trembled as he said, “It’s over… the heavens can’t tolerate us aberrations anymore!”
Even the little butterfly next to him couldn’t remain calm.
During her three days of staying here, the goblins and gray wolves had treated Butterfly Dance like one of their own, even building a treehouse for her, caring for her like a little sister.
However, starting yesterday, these monsters began appearing one after another, and conventional methods to eliminate them were useless.
Even Butterfly Dance, as the Illusion Wing Queen, couldn’t do anything about them.
Watching the goblins and gray wolves suffer continuously, she summoned a sky full of illusionary butterflies, transferring all the contaminated creatures into the illusion world.
Finally, the outside was able to breathe.
She thought the illusion world would suffer because of it, but unexpectedly, the fairy—sister Treika, whom Big Brother had asked her to save, single-handedly exterminated all those contaminated creatures in the illusion world.
The situation was temporarily settled, as it should have been.
Now, the purple ** made it impossible to muster any emotions of resistance in life.
The numbers were too overwhelming, with at least 4k+ creatures counted at a glance.
Moreover, it seemed that someone was already in trouble; these contaminated beings seemed to be attacking something in the center.
“Clan Leader, Lady Butterfly Dance!” Kainel ran back.
“Kainel, what’s the casualty report?” Alu asked hurriedly.
“Casualties… none yet.”
“That’s great… you need to inform the other clan members immediately. We can’t stay in the Crimson Plain any longer; we must leave immediately!”
“Wait… Clan Leader, two heroes and Lord Mo Se have also arrived, right there!”
“Kainel pointed to the center of the purple vortex.”
“… Alu was stunned.”
He believed in the strength of heroes, but these monsters were endless; no matter who came, they would probably only end up exhausted.
What to do? Should he fight them off with his clan members, or organize everyone to leave?
Bearing countless responsibilities, Alu couldn’t make an impassioned decision; this was the kind of responsibility a clan leader must have.
“Lady Butterfly Dance, what do you think…” When he turned his head, the little butterfly had already vanished.
With purple-red wings swaying in the wind, Butterfly Dance waved her translucent wings and rushed to the center of the battlefield in a hurry.
“… Sigh, forget it!” Alu sighed deeply, raising his head and saying, “Kainel, get everyone who can still fight up, and let Pori bring out his heart puppet too; it’s not the time to hold back! We should also show our value and not just let the heroes fall into danger.”
Kainel’s spirit was lifted, excitedly saying, “Great! I’ll go now!”
…….
Zane was immersed in the joy of farming monsters, completely unaware that the number of creatures had increased by several circles.
Perhaps he had noticed but subconsciously felt it wasn’t a problem.
Can 100 be fought? 1000 can’t be fought? After all, the only monster that could attack was the one close to them.
Mo Se was too large and had been kept below ground to avoid being mistakenly harmed by the contamination curse.
Meanwhile, Zane, Starry, and Star Cat took turns controlling, with Starry finishing off the damage.
The contaminated creatures were only fast when they launched their frenzied piercing and counterattacks; otherwise, they weren’t faster than bare players.
This meant that as long as they killed fast enough, the monsters couldn’t reach them.
Even if an error caused a mishap, they could let Mo Se dig a pit to change positions.
Following the principle of running if they couldn’t fight, they were already at the third location.
The durability of the Qiu Yue Sword had dropped to 62% after continuous battles, wearing down very quickly.
Zane’s level began to slow down after reaching level 20; he had only reached level 25 by now.
Meanwhile, Star Cat, which had previously died, had regained its levels and even caught up with Starry, reaching level 35.
“Ding!”

As the notification sound was heard, the Ice Frost Tiger’s appearance also changed.
While its size didn’t differ much from before, its fur became denser, its sharp claws glistened under the blue sky, and its teeth sharpened significantly.
If forced to describe it, it felt like evolving from a timid tiger into a saber-toothed tiger.
