Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 409 - 403: Ice Cover

The night wind howled by the river, carrying a faint fishy smell. The tattered coat let the wind through, trembling incessantly.

"We’ll go first, don’t follow us across."

Su Changxing shouted back.

Then, he and the monk walked along the bridge to the broken part, looking down. The black river water was relatively calm, making it impossible to imagine the creature hidden within.

"Phew, it seems that monster hasn’t noticed us." The monk sighed in relief, appearing somewhat tense, naturally fearful of such large creatures.

"Hasn’t noticed us?"

Su Changxing raised an eyebrow and said, "Weihuo, try to get its attention."

"What did you say?"

The monk doubted his ears.

Su Changxing stared at the water’s surface and said again, "Attract it to attack us, I have a way to deal with it."

"Are you sure?"

"I’m sure."

"Then I’ll start?"

"Yes, go ahead."

After confirming again and again, the monk stood on the bridge and chanted his thunderous scriptures, his eyes glowing with a faint golden light.

"What are they doing? This is very dangerous. What if the monster charges at us?"

A person from the Security Bureau asked with a face full of confusion.

Before he could finish speaking.

There was movement from the water, splashing up a large wave, and a dark green figure flew out, opening a toothed mouth to bite at them.

The moment there was movement on the water’s surface, Su Changxing triggered the Ice Ring, causing the surrounding environment’s temperature to plummet and become freezing within milliseconds.

A fluorescent patterned, massive array inscribed with unknown runes appeared centered on him, spinning rapidly in the air.

At that moment.

He felt the world as flowing threads, curling up, and his hands grasped these threads, able to pluck them at will.

[Ice Cover]

[Ice Cover: Five-Ring Magic, forming a short-term ice domain, greatly enhancing its power in areas rich in Water Element.]

The moment the giant fish leaped to the top, the world seemed to pause suddenly. Ice-like threads appeared in the air, rapidly spreading around with Su Changxing at the center.

The water splashes in the air expanded in volume upon contact with the ice threads, freezing into ice. The ice spread in an arc within the splashes, like ripples formed by stones hitting water.

The dark green giant fish turned snow-white, completely covered in ice, maintaining its original leaping posture like a lifelike ice sculpture.

The gray bridge surface was coated with a layer of frost.

Even in the night, the whole world turned from black to white.

Half of the giant fish’s body and the river surface all froze and became motionless.

Su Changxing pushed off with his foot, jumping towards the giant fish, pulling out the cold, frost-covered revolver, and repeatedly pulling the trigger at the fish’s head.

Four bullets broke through the ice, fish scales, and flesh from the same spot, blasting a perforated hole in the fish head.

Ice Cover didn’t kill the giant fish, but it hardened and brittled its flesh, significantly lowering its defense.

His four bullets could kill a Giant, so naturally they could kill this giant fish, and with even more ease.

Su Changxing stepped onto the ice surface, looking around, feeling as if it were winter.

This is great Power.

Ice Cover managed to freeze most of the tens of meters wide river surface.

"What a terrifying power."

He couldn’t help but exclaim, amazed at such power.

The monk, still crouching on the bridge, shivered from the cold, staring wide-eyed and shocked at the giant fish ice sculpture.

Su Changxing looked up at him, shouting, "Tell them to cross the river below while the ice hasn’t melted."

The ice surface was still Solid, but it wouldn’t last long; the external temperature was still relatively high.

The monk ran back, bringing Wu Qingsheng and others directly across the river under the bridge, looking at the ice-sculpted giant fish, many were dumbfounded.

Su Changxing approached the giant fish, selling it for Points, a full fifty thousand.

"Judging by the Points, far less than a Giant, but that’s normal, it’s originally inferior."

He mused, cutting off the spikes on the fish’s head and placing them in his backpack.

According to the True Knowledge’s analysis, these spikes were extremely poisonous.

Wu Qingsheng walked over, still with an expression of disbelief, and asked, "Brother Su, what, what’s going on here?"

Su Changxing thought for a moment and casually said, "Just a small spell."

"Magic?"

Wu Qingsheng’s expression turned to shock.

Su Changxing spread his hands and shrugged, saying:

"Yeah, like what you imagine, but with some differences. I don’t actually know it, just released it through some means."

Wu Qingsheng showed a doubtful expression, feeling something was off, and said, "The main thing is, it’s too exaggerated."

After crossing the river, they continued onward.

As they neared the No-Man’s Land, the nearby Zombies gradually became scarce, while some peculiar small creatures appeared.

They didn’t attack directly but watched them from afar, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.

"This area is dangerous, not many people have survived nearby; they might be responsible." Shen Liang glanced at them, casually reminding.

Upon hearing this, Su Changxing pulled out his gun and shot one, walking over for a look. It was a small white-furred creature, resembling a fox, but its face was completely decayed.

"Looks like a fox, but isn’t. Strange creature."

The monk observed and commented.

Su Changxing affirmed, "It’s some kind of fox, a creature called Wind Spirit. It’s probably native to this world but corrupted by radiation."

The Wind Spirits were extremely timid, disappearing completely after Su Changxing fired a shot.

Until late at night, they camped in the outskirts’ parking lot.

This area was near the No-Man’s Land, exceptionally desolate, with only a few Zombies wandering around and solitary withered trees in the wilderness.

"I hope that thing doesn’t grow back; we’re essentially out of retreat options."

Wu Qingsheng sighed, saying.

Shen Liang looked at the red sky, calmly saying:

"It’s not entirely an end; we can still enter the No-Man’s Land. There are fewer forum posts, likely not many are still alive."

"And our security bureau men, aside from here, others either died or are unreachable...we should try our best to survive, as others’ chances might be even slimmer."

Shen Liang remained rational, at least emotionally stable up to now.

Su Changxing stared at the Ice Ring in his hand, caressing it, and said calmly:

"Don’t rush; truly entering the No-Man’s Land means certain death for you. Even the Extraordinary might not survive more than ten days inside, Ordinary People at most four days, or even faster."

"So entering early is also a dead end. Let’s wait here and see."
