Chapter 173 Split up
As Edwin's figure disappeared into the thick fog, the other students followed suit and entered the weather tide.
Zhou Ning raised his hand to press down his hat, and without wasting any more time, he stepped into the mist.
The moment he entered the fog, Zhou Ning felt as if he had come to another world. The front was still shrouded in wind, snow and fog, but it was much thinner than outside. Through the fog, he could see that in the depths of the fog was a large complex of buildings consisting of countless ruined castles and palaces, desolate and ethereal.
Not far in front of him, Vice Principal Edwin stood there with his arms folded, waiting for all the students to come in.
Zhou Ning subconsciously looked back. The entrance was already obscured by the wind and snow. One student after another was entering the Weather Tide, looking around curiously.
Before long, all the students gathered inside the weather tide. Edwin glanced at the students present and said in a deep voice, "From now on, split into two teams and explore. One team will head north, and the other team will head south. Regardless of the results, gather here at noon tomorrow."
"I'm in charge of the Warrior, Meteorology, and Alchemy departments, heading north. Professor Rachel will lead the Mage, Engineering, Priest, and History departments to explore the south."
According to his arrangement, the expedition team naturally split into two teams, one in the south and one in the north, to explore from two directions.
As a student of the Alchemy Department, Zhou Ning naturally followed the Alchemy Department to explore towards the north.
It was not until they separated that Zhou Ning discovered that the team in the north included himself, Leonardo, Chris Brendanrezer, Rosie Lily, and even Warren Morton. It could be said to be a large gathering of the sons of the planes, and the safety factor should be quite high.
At this time, the weather was tidal and snowing heavily. The air was thick with fog and visibility was extremely limited. Edwin walked in front, looking cautiously at the road ahead, and said:
"According to the information provided by Earl 'Wisdom' Robbins, if we continue along the road ahead, we will find an ancient ruin of unknown age to the north. This is our target this time."
"There will be quite a few monsters on the road. Professor Rayleigh, Professor Weasley and other teachers will deal with most of them. You just need to assist. There will be basically no danger."
I hope so... Zhou Ning nodded silently without saying anything more.
Not long after, Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes and sensed a not too strong sense of crisis. His observation Haki could clearly "see" a pair of dark blue eyes appearing in the mist not far away.
It was an extremely large Ice Lord, more than ten meters tall, twice as large as the one Zhou Ning had encountered on the train. It watched the expedition team entering the nearby area from afar.
Around it, there is a large ice halo that covers a large area. A large area of snow nearby is frozen by the ice halo and turned into ice cubes condensed in the air.
Ice Lord!
This is an Ice Lord!
In the walrus kingdom, it is the symbol of ice and snow and the most loyal servant of the Ice and Snow Goddess.
Facing this Ice Lord, Zhou Ning, who has reached level 57, said that although it is a bit difficult to deal with, it should be easy to kill as long as he leaves himself enough space to attack.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of wind, and the Ice Lord raised a wave of ice-blue water, sweeping towards everyone.
A chill rose from the soles of his feet, "Lava!" Edwin, who was in the front, immediately sprinkled a cloud of yellow powder. In an instant, a ball of fiery red lava suddenly rose from its original place. In a flash, it was condensed by ice and snow, and turned into a black basalt, forming a wall on both sides of Edwin. In an instant, the snow and the landslide occurred, and it actually blocked the ice-blue tide.
Immediately afterwards, a yellow light appeared in Edwin's hand, and the black basalt was suddenly transformed into a row of stone spikes, extending towards the Ice Lord.
boom!
The Ice Lord, with its terrifying inertia, collided with the stone spikes, sending stone chips flying. The Ice Lord rushed to where Edwin had been standing, but hit nothing and slid past.
"Professor Edwin is very strong!" Zhou Ning was slightly stunned.
Professor Edwin's secondary profession should be a combat secondary profession that is inclined towards earth magic, or simply have two main professions like some BOSS-level NPCs, combining earth and weather magic, which is quite powerful.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Professor Rayleigh, Leonardo, and several other warriors raised their swords and bravely faced the enemy.
Although there was a slowing effect from the ice halo, the slowing effect was not too obvious due to the warrior's fiery fighting spirit, especially when Leonardo slashed with his sword, creating a spider-web-like crack on the frost giant's chest.
According to Zhou Ning's speculation, Leonardo should have a specialty like "weak point attack". This sword just hit the ice core of the Ice Lord, causing shocking damage.
1155!
Puff! Leonardo fell back and hit the ground hard.
In mid-air, he saw from the corner of his eye that Wayne Stewell, wearing a black top hat, had circled to the front of the Ice Lord at some point.
Then, he suddenly raised his hand and aimed the muzzles of two guns, one black and one white, at the Ice Lord.
"boom!"
Amidst the loud gunshots, two bullets pierced through the cracks in the Ice Lord's chest and shot straight in.
In the blink of an eye, the exaggeratedly large frost monster fell to the ground, stirring up snowflakes all over the sky.
The 40% attack power bonus of the gun genius, combined with the weak point attack, is just enough to kill with one blow.
There was silence.
Although Zhou Ning himself thought this looked like a monster grab, the visual impact was too great. The massive Ice Lord looked like a log being felled by a logging machine. Even Edwin was startled by the shot.
Zhou Ning put away his gun, and a prompt appeared on the panel:
[You killed the boss creature: Ice Lord, participation rate 42%, you gained 36000 experience points.]
[Defeat or kill 5 boss-level creatures with firearms: 1/5.]
This was an unexpected surprise. Zhou Ning himself didn't expect that he would gain a task progress as soon as he entered the Weather Tide - stealing monsters also counted.
"Well done, Wayne." Edwin praised sincerely.
Although the attack was quickly resolved, it still resulted in an unexpected loss of personnel. A student from the Warrior Department was hit head-on by the Ice Lord and died instantly.
This also sounded the alarm for the remaining members of the expedition.
This adventure is no play!
The Ice Lord's attack was just the beginning. Not long after, the expedition team was attacked for the second time. A group of ice and snow insects attacked the expedition team again. However, this time Zhou Ning didn't even need to take action. Professor Rayleigh and Professor Weasley, who looked very similar to people from their homeland, solved the problem together.
Not long after, Edwin stopped again. He took a deep breath and said, "I suggest we rest here for a while. According to meteorological warnings, there will be a hurricane in the area ahead soon. I'm not sure when it will arrive, but it's safer to wait here for a while."
Edwin was not only the Vice President of Wake University, but also a senior bishop of the Earth Temple Church and the head of the Meteorology Department. He was quite an authority on meteorology, so naturally, no one objected. They quickly built a campsite to shelter from the hurricane.

Considering that many brothers said that they don’t like to watch the plot of the game fighting against themselves, in fact, there is no plot of the game fighting against itself in the original outline. There will be a reversal later, but considering the tastes of most people, all the previous parts were modified. Now the Lich King and the Joker did not travel through time, and the Grim Reaper was changed to a god in the original game plot, which has nothing to do with the Joker.
There are some modifications from 176 to 179, and the main line afterwards has also been adjusted, so there won't be any impact.
