"Now there's still an avalanche outside, so we can only stay in this cave." Dan Feng sensed the tremors from outside and said to Roxy.
"What bad luck, running into an avalanche of all things." Roxy said dejectedly.
"The weather is unpredictable; there's nothing we can do about it." Dan Feng said calmly, then looked around. "Instead, why not take advantage of the avalanche time to explore this cave a bit?"
With that, Dan Feng began to carefully observe his surroundings.
"This cave is really big," Roxy remarked in admiration, using the light emitted by the Spirit of Light.
"It is quite large," Dan Feng agreed.
Even the space they were in now was as big as four inn rooms, and not far away was a passage from which a faint breeze blew from time to time. He had no idea where that passage led.
"Let's check ahead, but stay alert." Saying so, Dan Feng took out Cloud-Piercer and prepared himself for any danger.
Caves like this always had creatures living in them.
Hearing Dan Feng's words, Roxy also tightly gripped her staff and focused her mind.
Then Dan Feng had the Spirit of Light shine ahead, and the two of them followed behind it.
Although the passage was very spacious, the farther they went, the wider it became, and the wind gradually grew stronger.
"The wind is getting stronger, which means there's an exit at the end." Dan Feng analyzed as he walked, then quickened his pace with Roxy.
Soon, Dan Feng and Roxy arrived at another open area.
The Spirit of Light floated out, its soft glow illuminating the originally pitch-black space.
Dan Feng and Roxy followed closely behind the Spirit of Light, stepping out of the darkness in an instant.
However, as they fully entered this illuminated area, they immediately discovered that a group of humanoid monsters was hidden here!
These monsters were clearly very alert to Dan Feng and Roxy's appearance. They let out low, furious roars that were deafening.
Immediately after, the monsters quickly stood up and charged straight toward Dan Feng and Roxy.
Dan Feng's heart tightened. He had some knowledge of the monsters in the snowy mountains, and he instantly recognized these humanoid monsters as snow demons.
Snow demons were huge, immensely strong, and covered in thick snow-white fur. Not only did they have extremely high defense, but their attack power was also not to be underestimated.
Snow demons were best at concealing their tracks in the snow and delivering a fatal blow when their prey was completely off guard. They were a difficult A-rank monster to deal with.
"It's snow demons—be careful!" Dan Feng quickly warned Roxy while swiftly raising Cloud-Piercer and charging without hesitation toward the snow demons rushing madly at them.
He had even killed an S-rank red dragon, so how could he possibly fear these mere A-rank snow demons?
He used water magic to release a stream of water, then applied the Cloud Chant Technique to the spear tip. This greatly enhanced Cloud-Piercer's sharpness—though even without it, the sharpness could easily pierce through dragon scales.
The moment Dan Feng was about to make contact with a snow demon, his body suddenly moved like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, Dan Feng's figure appeared behind the first snow demon, and his spear effortlessly pierced through its body.
This was because, in that instant, Dan Feng had used the "Long Dream, One Sleep" technique he had employed in the labyrinth before.
The snow demon pierced by the spear didn't even have time to let out a scream before collapsing straight to the ground with a dull thud.
This sudden change stunned the other snow demons. They clearly hadn't expected Dan Feng to break through their defenses so easily.
At the same time, Roxy was continuously casting [Fire Flame Radiation].
She knew full well that water magic would have greatly reduced effect on snow demons—after all, snow demons themselves had a certain resistance to cold—so she decisively chose fire magic to attack them.
However, to her surprise, although Fire Flame Radiation successfully hit the group of snow demons, they didn't seem to take much damage. They only let out painful shrieks before fearlessly continuing to pounce toward Dan Feng.
Facing this pack of frenzied snow demons, Dan Feng's face remained expressionless as he continuously wielded Cloud-Piercer.
With his movements, the water flow at the spear tip began to slowly condense, gradually forming a lifelike azure dragon.
Under Dan Feng's control, this azure dragon exuded an imposing aura.
Once the azure dragon was fully formed, Dan Feng's figure vanished from his spot again.
Immediately after, a series of swishing sounds rang out, as if countless streams of water were rushing through at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, the bodies of those snow demons were sliced apart as if cut by an incredibly sharp sword, instantly splitting into many pieces.
The last snow demon stared wide-eyed in terror, dumbfounded at the scene before it.
It was an A-rank monster, among the highest in intelligence among monsters, yet at this moment it was so frightened that it was at a loss.
The tragic deaths of its kin filled it with fear, and its body trembled uncontrollably.
Just as it prepared to turn and flee, a powerful stream of water came roaring like an azure dragon, carrying astonishing force as it charged straight at it.
The water flow was extremely fast, closing in on the snow demon in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!" A massive crash.
Cloud-Piercer within the water flow slammed hard into the snow demon's body, the tremendous impact pinning it firmly against the stone wall.
The snow demon's body was locked against the stone wall, unable to move, and it could only let out pained wails.
However, it wasn't over yet.
Cloud-Piercer didn't stop after hitting its target. The surrounding water flow continued to exert powerful force, relentlessly crashing into the snow demon's body, each impact bringing excruciating pain.
The snow demon's vitality gradually faded under the fierce blows until it completely lost all signs of life.
When the snow demon's body stopped moving, Cloud-Piercer seemed to have completed its mission and dispersed into countless tiny particles, slowly vanishing into the air.
After dealing with the last snow demon, Dan Feng slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Roxy not far away.
A faint expression appeared on his face, as if telling Roxy: It's over; all the monsters have been taken care of.
Roxy looked at Dan Feng, a flash of amazement in her water-blue eyes.
She slowly walked toward Dan Feng, praising as she went: "Dan Feng, you're really too strong. These A-rank monsters—you took care of them all in such a short time."
Dan Feng replied softly upon hearing this: "If I couldn't quickly deal with these slow-moving monsters, I'd truly be unworthy of this spear of mine."
Afterward, they came to the snow demons' corpses. There wasn't anything valuable on the snow demons' bodies; the only useful part was their thick fur, which could be used for warmth. Everything else had no value at all.
So killing snow demons was basically thankless work, and not many people were willing to take on such subjugation requests.
