Chapter 101 Ice Beast
A short while later, the strange golden light gradually subsided until it completely merged into Huan Yuechu's body.
Immediately afterwards, Huan Yuechu, who had been keeping her eyes closed, began to move.
She first fluttered her eyelashes slightly, then slowly opened her beautiful and captivating eyes.
As her vision gradually cleared and she saw the familiar faces around her, an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.
These are her comrades who fought alongside her and shared life and death with her!
Their concerned gazes and anxious expressions made Huan Yuechu deeply appreciate the preciousness of friendship.
At this moment, Xu Yan, who was standing to the side, broke the silence first, her face beaming with joy, and said, "Boss lady, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"
His words were full of sincerity and joy, which warmed the hearts of those who heard them.
Huan Yuechu moved her body and felt full of power. She knew this was all thanks to the Spirit Pearl.
Just as everyone was celebrating, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
The black-robed man who had fled earlier had returned with his helpers.
The man in black robes angrily pointed at Xu Yan and the others and shouted, "We must retrieve the Spirit Pearl today!"
Xu Yan and the others' expressions changed, and they clenched their fists, ready to fight.
Huan Yuechu stepped forward; now, with the support of the Spirit Pearl's power, she was fearless.
She said to the man in black robes and his henchmen, "You won't succeed." With that, she charged forward.
The two sides engaged in another fierce battle. Huan Yuechu's strength had greatly increased, and Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan cooperated perfectly, causing the black-robed man and his helpers to retreat one after another.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the black-robed man's helper took out a black box from his pocket.
He suddenly opened the box, and a plume of black smoke billowed out, quickly spreading outwards.
Huan Yuechu and the others were enveloped in black smoke, and they suddenly felt difficulty breathing and their movements became sluggish.
It turns out that the black smoke has a numbing effect.
The man in black robes laughed loudly, "So what if you have spirit pearls? You'll still be defeated by my methods."
Just as the man in black robes was feeling smug, Huan Yuechu endured her discomfort and mobilized the power of the spiritual pearl within her body.
The spirit pearl emitted a soft light, gradually dispelling the black smoke.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huan Yuechu rushed towards the black-robed man's helper, snatched the black box from his hand, and crushed it.
The man in black robes was terrified upon seeing this.
At this moment, Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu also recovered, and the three of them joined forces to attack the man in black robes.
The man in black panicked; he hadn't expected Huan Yuechu to be so tenacious.
Under the powerful attack of the three, the man in black robes realized the situation was dire and could only slink away with his men.
Huan Yuechu gazed in the direction they fled, her eyes filled with determination, and she murmured to herself, "These black-robed men are like flies, everywhere. I will not give them any more chances."
Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. They knew there would be more challenges ahead, but at this moment, being together filled them with hope.
"Since the men in black robes want to steal our things, it means they know what we're doing. We need to find the next spirit orb quickly."
Wen Xingyu and Huan Yuechu nodded in agreement.
The three embarked on their journey once again, heading towards the Xuanming Ice Peak in the north.
When they arrived at the Xuanming Ice Peak in the north, a chilling aura hit them.
The three quickly wrapped their clothes tighter and cautiously explored forward.
Sharp icicles are everywhere on the ice field, like countless swords pointing to the sky.
Suddenly, the icicles began to shake, and together they formed a giant ice beast that charged towards them.
Xu Yan gripped her sword tightly with both hands, her eyes resolute, and charged towards the ice beast first.
Huan Yue then used her spiritual power to try to freeze the ice beast's movements.
However, the ice beast was too large, and each impact caused the ground to shake.
Just as the ice beast was about to crash into them, a dark shadow flashed by. It turned out to be Wen Xingyu, who was skilled in speed, who arrived just in time.
Holding a dagger, she ran quickly around the ice beast to distract it.
Xu Yan seized the opportunity to leap into the air, let out a loud shout, and unleashed a dazzling light from her sword as she forcefully slashed at the ice beast.
At the same time, Huan Yuechu mobilized all her spiritual power, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, and the ice beast's limbs began to freeze.
However, the ice beast suddenly shook itself, shedding some of the ice, and turned to charge towards Huan Yuechu.
Huan Yuechu was startled, but she did not back down.
Just as the ice beast was about to rush towards her, she lightly touched the ground with her feet and leaped back several feet.
At the same time, she formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and an ice wall appeared out of thin air in front of her.
The ice beast crashed into the ice wall, and cracks immediately appeared in the ice wall.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu immediately rushed over to help.
Xu Yan thrust her sword towards the ice beast's eye, while Wen Xingyu used her speed to circle around behind the ice beast and fiercely stabbed it in the joint of its hind leg.
The ice beast, in pain, roared to the sky, causing icicles to fall from its head.
Huan Yuechu seized the opportunity, pushed hard with both hands, and poured all the remaining spiritual power into the ice wall.
The already thick and solid ice wall was now visibly thickening and strengthening!
In the blink of an eye, this enormous ice wall, like an indestructible fortress, pressed down on the ice beast trapped within with unparalleled power.
The ferocious ice beast was now completely trapped in the narrow space formed by the ice wall, and no matter how much it struggled and roared, it could not move an inch.
Just then, Xu Yan, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seized this perfect chance.
He gave a soft shout, and with a sudden burst of power from his feet, he leaped high into the air like an arrow released from a bow.
At the same time, the sword he gripped tightly in his hand flashed with a dazzling light, as if he had gathered all his strength into this one strike.
With a muffled "thud," Xu Yan's sword pierced the ice beast's core with pinpoint accuracy.
The ice beast, having suffered such a severe injury, let out a mournful howl that echoed throughout the entire valley.
Immediately afterwards, as the ice beast's massive body collapsed with a crash, it instantly turned into a pile of broken ice blocks, scattered on the ground.
However, the battle did not end there. Seeing this, the other two nearby did not hesitate to press their advantage.
They cooperated perfectly, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks on the ice beast's vital points.
Each strike contained immense power, leaving the ice beast utterly helpless.
Finally, after a fierce and arduous battle, with a final, earth-shattering roar, the ice beast's massive body crashed to the ground.
In an instant, countless tiny ice crystals scattered everywhere, like a magnificent rain of ice flowers falling all over the ground.
"Phew... I finally got rid of this guy." Xu Yan let out a long sigh of relief, a tired but relieved smile on her face.
Standing not far away, Huan Yuechu looked around warily, her brows furrowed, and said, "This place is fraught with danger. Let's be careful and search it thoroughly."
Seeing this, the other two followed suit, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
