Cultivating in the Wizard World-Chapter 213 - 194: Yeti City (Part 2)

Quietly hidden in the shadow of a giant ice sculpture building, Jeming calmly sensed the chaotic energy waves permeating the city, generated by the life activities of countless Yetis.

The entire day, Jeming was engaged in this complex perception and confirmation.

He shuttled through various areas of the city, from ordinary Yeti residential areas to the simple "council hall", from their "breeding grounds" to their "training fields".

However, regrettably!

The final result left him with a tinge of expected disappointment.

Even in such a large-scale Yeti city, Red Dust Qi could not be produced!

"Indeed, there’s something wrong with this world." Jeming sighed helplessly in his heart.

Just as he had considered before, since it was confirmed that these elemental creatures could not produce Red Dust Qi, the mere lack of Red Dust Qi was no longer his problem.

Although this result was somewhat disappointing, it was followed by another piece of good news!

Through this day of reconnaissance, Jeming thoroughly confirmed his other hypothesis—the city indeed housed a large number of First Level Yetis, in an unimaginably large quantity.

But there were almost no Second Level or higher-level Yetis present!

He only sensed a few Yetis that had just advanced from First Level to Second Level, with an unstable aura.

They obviously had just recently broken through, and their numbers were not large.

Since the most important "Red Dust Qi" could not be obtained, he was to proceed with the second main purpose of his journey to the Frost Dark Realm—see if there were any rare resources!

After all, such a large Yeti gathering point would usually hoard a vast amount of rare resources.

This includes high-tier ice attribute materials, and even some unique minerals born from the depths of the Frost Dark Realm.

With his previous strength, and without a clear mission, Jeming would definitely not dare to rashly approach this level of gathering point!

But now, with those High Tier Yetis all mysteriously missing, the resources here were undoubtedly an open treasure trove!

However, the city’s defense capabilities must also be considered.

Although there was no threat from high-level Yetis, their numbers were overwhelmingly exaggerated. Just from what Jeming could sense, there were no fewer than a hundred thousand Yetis!

"A hundred thousand..." Jeming silently calculated in his heart.

Faced with this number of enemies, even if they were all just First Level creatures, if they were alarmed at once, such a human-wave tactic would be extremely terrifying.

Even for him, wanting to quickly take over the entire city in such a numerical advantage and icy environment, and without substantial loss, would be quite challenging!

This required an efficient and large-scale clearing method.

Standing in the underground area of the city center, Jeming closed his eyes and thought deeply for a few seconds.

Countless plans rapidly sprang to his mind, and finally, a simple and direct plan gradually took shape.

He immediately made up his mind, turned his wrist, and directly took out from his body space the "Sixth Level Small Elemental Pool" he had purchased at a high price from Professor Clark. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Frankly speaking, Jeming originally intended to use this as the "backup power source" for his Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

However, since the basic infrastructure of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane had not been completed, it remained on his person for now.

This Elemental Pool was entirely a mysterious blue-black color, containing vast and stable energy within.

Normally, such an item was used to provide continuous elemental energy, but his usage this time was entirely different.

Using the small Elemental Pool as the core, Jeming quickly constructed a simple yet efficient rune array on the ice floor beneath him.

The runes in the array glowed with a faint red light, forming a stark contrast with the coldness emitted by the Elemental Pool.

The effect of this array was very simple, which was to forcibly convert the massive energy stored inside the Elemental Pool into heat and unleash it all at once!

Simple and crude, yet highly efficient!

He had previously gathered a substantial amount of research results on the Yetis.

Like Magma Giants, who are not afraid of the cold, as elemental creatures, Yetis aren’t particularly afraid of minor fire attacks.

When Jeming studied their physiological structures in the laboratory, he already discovered that the white fur on the surface of Yetis essentially consisted of strands of energy crystals filled with ice elements.

As long as the power of the fire attribute attack did not exceed a certain threshold, this layer of fur could act like "reactive armor" to resist external damage.

Conversely, just as Magma Giants, when subjected to rapid cooling from large-scale low-temperature attacks in a short period, their surface structure would alter, leading to sluggish movements, Yetis also have their weaknesses.

If they are subjected to a sufficiently high temperature in a short time, their cores will become overactive, leading to an inability to maintain stable physical forms temporarily.

Simply put—they would melt!

This melting is not lethal, just like Magma Giants, once the temperature subsides, the Yetis’ core activity returns to normal, and they can quickly reform based on the core.

But during this "melting" period, their bodies become quite vulnerable, unable to move or attack, and become easy targets!

This was the "clearing" scheme designed by Jeming.

"Activate!"

With Jeming’s added command, the runes of the array beneath his feet suddenly lit up with blinding red light, causing a violent energy resonance with the core Sixth Level Elemental Pool.

In an instant, massive energy waves swept in all directions!

Rumble!!

The air inside the entire Ice City underwent an almost explosive expansion in an instant!

A visible air wave spread rapidly outward with Jeming as the center!

All the energy stored in the Sixth Level Elemental Pool was unleashed by the array in one go, and the vast heat, like a nuclear explosion, instantly vaporized the air inside the city!

The central core zone of the array’s activation even experienced real explosions due to the severe temperature difference.

In the short term, the temperature inside the entire city skyrocketed from nearly minus 200 degrees Celsius to a terrifying over 100 degrees Celsius!

Everywhere was shrouded in rising steam, and the solid ice and snow structures began to emit "sizzling" melting sounds, with water starting to gather on the surface!

"Screech! Screech!"

Countless Yetis let out painful and chaotic roars.

Their massive bodies were instantly enveloped in scorching steam and heat waves, their ice crystal fur rapidly evaporating, and their hard bodies became soft under the high temperature, like heated plastic.

The cores of some Yetis began to flicker, and their bodies quickly slumped like melting ice cream.

Turning into shapeless slush, temporarily losing all mobility, they could only twist powerlessly on the ground.

This level of temperature, if it were a Second Level Yeti, could rely entirely on their stronger core activity and physical advantages to withstand it, but at a considerable sacrifice!

For the vast majority of First Level Yetis, it was enough to completely strip them of the ability to move and resist!

Jeming remained completely unaffected.

Using Protective Magic to endure the initial air shockwave, his body’s "Body Refining Technique" operated autonomously, resisting the impact of the drastic temperature difference.

He sharply scanned the surroundings, casually employing Talisman Witchcraft to eliminate the few Second Level Yetis still letting out pained screams and attempting to resist.

Though they could resist, they moved slowly under the heat wave, making it difficult to evade Jeming’s deadly witchcraft.

The entire city was completely cleared!

He didn’t bother with those slumped, waiting-for-the-temperature-to-subside First Level Yetis.

They were nothing more than heaps of living "materials" now, without any threat.

Jeming knew he didn’t have much time.

His figure flashed, quickly rummaging through the city.

His target was the possibly hidden resource vault in the Yeti City, and any potentially high-value items!
