Chapter 430: Desperate Icefield, Dedicated Protection
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen headed north, rushing towards the Arctic ice field. The cold wind was like a knife, cutting painfully on the face, and the sky and the earth were all white, as if all life was swallowed up by the endless ice and snow.
Both of them were protected by spiritual power, but they still couldn't resist the bone-chilling cold. Yun Yao's face was red from the cold, and the hot air she exhaled instantly condensed into frost on her eyelashes. She trembled slightly and gritted her teeth to persist. Seeing this, Chu Mochen felt distressed. He turned sideways and took Yun Yao into his arms, using his own spiritual power to dispel the cold for her, and whispered: "Yao'er, lean on me, you will be warmer."
Yun Yao felt warm in her heart, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she nodded and said, "Chen, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of the cold."
As we traveled deeper into the ice field, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh. Huge ice ridges stood like the fangs of a giant beast, and from time to time there was a roar of ice breaking, as if the ice field was roaring angrily. At this moment, the system suddenly issued a warning: "Danger ahead, there is a hidden ice field beast, it is extremely powerful, please be careful to avoid it."
Yun Yao's expression was stern, and she looked at Chu Mochen, and they both saw solemnity in each other's eyes. Before they could react, the ice beneath their feet trembled violently, and a huge ice beast as big as a mountain broke through the ice. It exuded a cold aura, and its ice-blue eyes were cold and ruthless, staring at Yun Yao and the others.
"Roar!" The giant beast roared, and the sound waves caused the surrounding ice edges to fall off. Then, it waved its thick forelimbs, carrying a tremendous force, and slammed towards the two of them.
Yun Yao reacted quickly, dodging sideways, swinging the long sword in her hand, and a sharp sword energy slashed at the beast. However, the sword energy only left a shallow white mark on the beast, like an ant trying to shake a tree. Chu Mochen was also not vague, and he formed seals with his hands, and a hot spiritual flame roared out, trying to use high temperature to restrain the coldness of the beast. The flame came into contact with the beast, and a large amount of water vapor instantly evaporated, but the beast only took a few steps back and was unharmed.
"This giant beast has thick skin and tough flesh, and conventional attacks are unlikely to be effective. Yao'er, be careful!" Chu Mochen shouted loudly, and with a flash of his body, he stood in front of Yun Yao.
Yun Yao knew that the situation was critical at the moment, and her brain was working rapidly, thinking about the various skills and knowledge that the system had given her before. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she remembered an ice weakening spell that she had learned. Although it could not directly hurt the enemy, it might be able to reduce the defense of the giant beast.
Yun Yao immediately chanted a spell, waved her hands, and ice-blue runes floated towards the beast. The beast seemed to sense danger and struggled frantically, trying to dispel the runes. But with Yun Yao's full strength, the runes finally merged into the beast's body. The ice layer on the beast's body surface cracked, and its movements became a little slower.
"Good opportunity!" Chu Mochen saw this and seized the opportunity, concentrating all his spiritual power. The sword in his hand shone brightly, turning into a stream of light, piercing the throat of the giant beast. The giant beast felt pain, raised its head and roared, waving its claws and fighting back frantically.
In the fierce battle, Yun Yao was accidentally swept by the beast, and flew out like a kite with a broken string, hitting the ice ridge heavily and screaming in pain. Chu Mochen was furious, and rushed towards the beast desperately, his sword moves became more and more fierce, and each move was fatal, vowing to avenge Yun Yao.
The beast was beaten back by Chu Mochen's crazy attack, and several deep wounds appeared on its body. Blood flowed out and spread on the ice, which was particularly eye-catching. But after all, it had thick skin and strong vitality, so it did not fall down. Instead, it became more violent and violently sprayed out an ice column, directly approaching Chu Mochen.
Chu Mochen was unable to dodge and was hit by the icicle on his shoulder, which instantly froze him. His body was also knocked back several feet by the impact. He struggled to get up and ran towards Yun Yao regardless of his injuries. At this time, Yun Yao had blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, her breath was weak, and her face was as pale as snow.
"Yao'er, how are you?" Chu Mochen was anxious. He gently helped Yun Yao up and continuously injected spiritual power into her body, trying to stabilize her injuries.
Yun Yao opened her eyes weakly, looked at Chu Mochen who was worried, and her heart was moved: "Chen, I'm fine, don't worry." Having said that, her voice was as light as a mosquito.
Chu Mochen hugged Yun Yao tightly, his eyes flashing with determination: "Yao'er, even if I have to risk my life today, I will definitely protect you." After that, he gently put Yun Yao down, turned around and faced the giant beast. The spiritual power in his body surged, as if he wanted to burn himself, and fought the giant beast to the death.
Yun Yao burst into tears when she saw this. She knew that Chu Mochen's move was extremely dangerous. Once his spiritual power was exhausted, his life would be in danger. She endured the pain and struggled to stand up. She formed seals with both hands and mobilized all the remaining spiritual power in her body: "Chen, how can I let you take the risk alone? If we die, we die together. If we live, we live together."
Just as Chu Mochen and the beast were about to collide again, Yun Yao's spiritual power resonated with Chu Mochen's spiritual power, producing a strange resonance. Light shone brightly around the two of them, forming a protective light curtain to block the beast's attack. At the same time, the system issued a prompt: "Host, because the two of you work together, you have triggered the hidden skill - Lingxi Guardian, which can greatly increase your defense in a short period of time and rebound some damage."
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were delighted when they heard this, and looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and determination. They stood hand in hand, and continued to inject spiritual power into the light curtain. While the giant beast's attack was rebounded and it fell into a brief dizziness, the two of them worked together to perform the strongest attack.
Chu Mochen raised his sword high, gathering the spiritual power of heaven and earth, while Yun Yao assisted with a spell to bless him with strength. In an instant, a dazzling light shot straight into the sky, with the power to destroy the world, fiercely blasting towards the giant beast. The giant beast widened its eyes in fear, but it had no time to dodge and was swallowed by the light.
With a loud bang, the huge body of the beast fell to the ground, stirring up ice and snow all over the sky. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's tense nerves finally relaxed, and the two hugged each other and cried.
"Chen, we did it." Yun Yao said with a sob.
"Yes, Yao'er, as long as we are together, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome." Chu Mochen stroked Yun Yao's hair and said gently.
After a short rest, the two continued on their way. After several days of arduous trekking, they finally found the first ancient artifact, the Ice Soul Divine Needle, in a secret ice cave at the end of the ice field. It was quietly suspended in the air, emitting a cold blue light, surrounded by cold air, as if to keep people away from it.
Yun Yao approached cautiously and tried to reach out to touch it, but was bounced away by an invisible force. Chu Mochen hurriedly supported her and frowned, saying, "It seems that this artifact has spirit and will not be easily taken away. We have to think of a way."
Yun Yao pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that it was mentioned in ancient books that the Ice Soul Needle must be nurtured with pure ice spirit power before it can be subdued. She looked at Chu Mochen: "Chen, there is ice spirit power in the technique I practice, maybe I can give it a try."
Although Chu Mochen was a little worried, he still nodded in agreement: "Yao'er, be careful. If anything goes wrong, stop immediately."
Yun Yao took a deep breath, closed her eyes and concentrated, mobilized the power of the Ice Spirit in her body, and slowly approached the Ice Spirit Divine Needle. As she approached, the resistance of the Divine Needle became stronger and stronger, and the cold light flashed, as if to freeze her. Yun Yao clenched her teeth, her forehead was covered with sweat, but she still persisted.
Under the constant nourishment of the Ice Spirit Power, the light of the Ice Soul Divine Needle gradually softened, and the resistance gradually weakened. Finally, Yun Yao's hand touched the divine needle, and in an instant, a cool feeling flowed into her body along her arm and merged with her spiritual power.
"Success!" Yun Yao showed joy on her face and put the Ice Soul Needle into her pocket.
The two left the ice field with their harvest and headed for the abyss of the South China Sea. Along the way, they took care of each other and their friendship grew stronger. Every time they faced danger, they worked together; every time they faced difficulties, they overcame them with mutual support. In their hearts, they became more determined to protect each other and save their sect. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, as long as they walked hand in hand, they would be fearless.
