It was a colossal object he had never seen in any book, any video, or even any nightmare.

Its size was far greater than the giant saber-toothed tiger he had hunted near the sanctuary, and even several times larger than an elephant.

It has four legs as thick as temple pillars, and with each step it takes, the hard ice surface trembles and emits a deep, heart-pounding groan.

Its body is covered with a thick, shell-like skin, like the deepest obsidian, yet shimmering with a faint blue light at certain angles.

Its skin is not smooth, but covered with complex textures like glacial fissures, formed by the fusion of ancient ice and the hardest rock, draped in a natural, indestructible, dark blue ice armor.

It does not have a "head" in the traditional sense. The front of its body is a huge, flat mouthpart structure, like that of an ancient trilobite, with jagged, huge, sharp teeth that gleam with a cold metallic glint along the edges.

At this moment, its enormous mouth was opening and closing, sucking up large chunks of ice and snow, along with anything that might be underneath, and making a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound.

What is most unbelievable and chilling is that from its broad back, which undulates like rolling hills, grow several huge spikes, tens of meters high, that soar into the sky and resemble meticulously carved clusters of blue, transparent crystals!

Against the backdrop of the dim light and the swirling snow, these spikes gleamed with an eerie and chilling light.

"What...what kind of monster is this...?"

Lin Feng felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly. A sense of insignificance and fear, originating from the depths of his soul, instantly engulfed him. He immediately gave this terrifying creature a fitting name in his mind—"Azure Giant Elephant!"

Although the Azure Giant Elephant's movement speed appears slow, its sheer size makes each stride incredibly long.

It didn't notice Lin Feng and his few tiny companions, and continued to "devour" the ice field on its own, slowly moving in another direction.

Lin Feng lay hidden behind the ice mound, not daring to move an inch, even breathing as softly as possible.

He could clearly feel the terrifying, almost tangible pressure emanating from the behemoth—an absolute power that stood at the very top of the planet's food chain and could not be challenged by any creature!

He had no doubt that if the giant blue elephant so desired, it could crush them, along with this small ice mound, into dust with a single, powerful stomp of its massive foot, which was as powerful as an avalanche.

Wangcai was already trembling with fear, clinging tightly to Lin Feng's legs, letting out a faint, almost inaudible moan.

White Moonlight and White Emerald were even more restless, their hooves pawing the snow incessantly. If Lin Feng hadn't held the reins tightly, they probably would have already bolted in the opposite direction and fled without a care.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Every second felt like an eternity.

Lin Feng held his breath and observed for a long time until the giant blue elephant slowly disappeared into the end of the wind and snow, leaving only a few huge footprints several meters deep on the ice field, like canyons, and a cold and desolate terrifying aura that lingered in the air for a long time.

He let out a long sigh of relief, feeling utterly exhausted, only to realize that his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

"It was...it was terrifying..." he murmured to himself, his voice trembling with the shock of surviving a disaster.

He immediately took out the animal skin scroll from his bag and, with his hands trembling slightly from nervousness, recorded as much detail as possible the physical characteristics of the blue giant elephant, its approximate range of activity, and its peculiar habit of "gnawing on ice."

On the map, a large skull covered in thick charcoal was used to mark its unparalleled danger level: "Extremely deadly, retreat immediately upon encounter, do not approach!"

This "chance encounter" with the Azure Giant Elephant deepened Lin Feng's awe of this northern ice plain by several orders of magnitude.

He realized that there were far too many things hidden on this planet that were beyond his comprehension.

After his initial shock subsided, Lin Feng dared not linger. Who knew if the azure giant elephant might suddenly decide to return?

He immediately took Wangcai and two still-shaken wildebeest and, braving the wind and snow, quickly moved dozens of kilometers to the side opposite to the direction the blue giant elephant was traveling, before finding a relatively secluded spot to camp under an ice cliff.

That night, Lin Feng barely slept a wink. The image of the colossal blue elephant, as large as a mountain, and the enormous crystal spikes on its back that shimmered with an eerie light, haunted his mind like a nightmare.

Continuing their journey north, the dangers did not diminish in the slightest even as the blue giant elephant departed.

On the contrary, Lin Feng felt that this icy plain was fraught with deadly dangers.

Several days later, they arrived at a vast area of ​​frozen lakes.

This frozen lake is so vast that it stretches as far as the eye can see, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dazzling light under the sun.

Lin Feng guessed that some ancient fish or other aquatic creatures were sealed beneath the ice.

He walked carefully along the edge of the frozen lake, hoping to find some edible ice algae, or if he was lucky, some fish frozen in the shallow ice.

Wangcai ran excitedly back and forth on the ice, occasionally scratching at the ice with its paws, as if searching for something.

Suddenly, about a hundred meters in front of Lin Feng, the smooth ice surface burst open without any warning!

"Crack—Boom!"

Like an explosive detonation, countless huge blocks of ice shot out in all directions with a piercing cracking sound.

Immediately afterwards, a silvery-white, agile figure formed from ice, snow and sharp blades shot out from the huge ice hole like a deadly spear shot from the abyss!

The silvery-white figure drew a graceful yet extremely murderous arc in mid-air, opened its huge mouth full of sharp, saw-like teeth, and bit down hard on a "snow web-footed bird" (named by Lin Feng based on its large webbed feet) that was leisurely strolling on the ice. It resembled an Earth penguin but was two or three times larger and had blue-gray fur.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that no one had time to react!

The poor snowbird only had time to let out a short, shrill cry before the silvery-white predator bit its neck. Blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly staining the surrounding ice a glaring crimson.

The silvery-white predator struck its target and, without even pausing on the ice, dragged the still-struggling snowflake into the bottomless ice cave with a "plop," like a stone thrown into water. It left behind only ever-expanding black ripples and tiny specks of crimson that quickly solidified within the water.

Lin Feng stared in disbelief, a chill running down his spine.

Only then could he barely make out some of the features of the silvery-white predator.

Its body is long and flat, resembling a shark in Earth's oceans, but it is clearly a species unique to this frozen planet.

Its body is covered with a layer of fine, silvery-white scales, like polished frost crystals, which shimmer with a cold luster in the sunlight. Its fins are exceptionally large and hard, with edges that gleam with a metallic sheen, like natural ice cutters, capable of easily slicing through ice several meters thick.

Its eyes were dark and deep, devoid of any emotion, containing only a pure, cold desire to kill.

"Frosttooth Snow Shark!" The name that sent chills down Lin Feng's spine popped into his mind instantly.

With its ability to move freely beneath thick ice and to break through the ice in such a terrifying way, the Frosttooth Snow Shark is a nightmare for all creatures in this icy lake region.

Lin Feng had no doubt that if he had gotten any closer, or if Wangcai had accidentally run to that spot, it would probably have become the meal of that ferocious beast under the ice by now.

He quickly led Wangcai and the two wildebeest away from this dangerous icy lake area.

On the animal skin map, he marked the frozen lake and the terrifying range of activity of the frost-toothed snow shark with special wavy lines bearing sharp teeth.

He was acutely aware that the dangers of this planet did not only come from the land; beneath the vast ice surface lay equally deadly and terrifying threats.

After experiencing the awe-inspiring power of the Azure Giant and the life-or-death moment brought by the Frosttooth Snow Shark, Lin Feng was not intimidated. Instead, it aroused the fierce determination in his bones that made him more courageous in the face of setbacks.

He knew that in order to survive on this planet and even establish his own order, he had to understand it, adapt to it, and ultimately conquer it!

He chose to bypass the vast icy lake ruled by frost-toothed snow sharks and continue his journey to more distant places.

As the terrain gradually rises, the temperature becomes increasingly frigid, and the winds become stronger. Huge, oddly shaped rocks, like the skeletons of ancient beasts, are scattered across the barren highlands.

These rocks, sculpted by the relentless winds over millions of years, have taken on all sorts of incredible shapes. Some resemble twisted towers, others grotesque monsters, and still others enormous, hollowed-out honeycombs, forming a natural, desolate, and magnificent labyrinth.

Lin Feng made new discoveries in some relatively sheltered caves or rock crevices in the highlands.

Beneath a massive, sloping rock, he discovered a peculiar vine that clung tenaciously to the rock face.

The vine's bark is a grayish-brown color that is very similar to that of rocks, and it is exceptionally rough and hard, like a layer of solidified rock skin. Without careful observation, it is almost impossible to distinguish it from the rock itself.

But when Lin Feng painstakingly cut off a section with his battle sword, he was surprised to find that the fibers inside were exceptionally flexible and incredibly elastic. He tried to pull them with his hands and discovered that their strength was even greater than that of the tough vines he had discovered before!

Lin Feng was overjoyed. This vine was an excellent natural material for making high-grade ropes, bowstrings, and even weaving protective nets. He carefully recorded the growth environment and characteristics of this rock-skin vine and collected enough samples.

At the edge of a cliff with an extremely wide view, the gale swept past like a roaring beast, making a deafening howl.

Braving the fierce wind, Lin Feng carefully approached the edge of the cliff and looked down.

Below the cliff lies a bottomless canyon shrouded in mist, and further away, snow-capped mountains and glaciers stretch endlessly.

Just then, several clear and melodious cries, like the clash of metal, pierced through the howling wind and reached his ears.

Lin Feng suddenly looked up in the direction from which the sound came, his face immediately showing extreme surprise.
