"I don't know either. Luo Fan told us to leave immediately and not to worry about the two of them, saying there was a cold wave coming!"

"A cold wave? What kind of magical beast is that?" Daisy asked, puzzled.

"I don't know if it's Warcraft, but it's telling us to go as far away as possible."

"The farther the better?" Tifa, with her earth element, shivered. "It seems to be getting colder here!"

"Hmm, the ice elements around us are unusually active!" Daisy warned, looking down at the sea below, which was almost completely frozen, with a chilling aura even spreading upwards.

"We need to get out of here! It's getting colder and colder."

Once they realized what was happening, everyone quickly ran upwards without hesitation, and at the same time, they closed the gate to the underground city.

Inside the tavern, many people were still drinking and chatting. When they saw Ellie and her group come out, some of them wanted to say something.

However, Ellie and the others didn't linger and ran straight outside. The guild members quickly notified the manager to disperse all the adventurers as soon as possible.

"What exactly happened?" Some people were confused, only noticing that the air above seemed to have gotten a little cooler.

"A cold front is coming up from below. Everyone get out. If you don't want to die, get out now!"

The tavern immediately descended into chaos. Fortunately, there weren't many people, and they were all pulled out.

It was indeed much warmer outside. The people gathered together, looking at the changes in the house. Someone tried to walk over, but a blast of cold air immediately forced him back.

Ellie and Daisy were very worried as they watched the house gradually freeze over.

“Luo Fan said he’s fine. Look, his clone is perfectly alright. He’ll definitely be okay,” Ellie reassured her, hugging Luo Fan’s clone and looking over there with concern.

"But what about Xiaoxue?"

"They're such good friends, they'll definitely be fine. Let's just wait and see."

"Hmm~!" The joy of advancing to the next level was immediately dampened considerably.

Before long, the entire house in front was frozen and covered with a thick layer of ice.

"Holy crap, this cold wave is incredibly powerful!"

"How come I've never heard of anything like this before? I never imagined this place was so dangerous!"

"I'll go back and inform the guild first!" After saying that, one of the accompanying people summoned an ice wolf and quickly left.

Several girls gathered together and even pitched a tent. Some other adventurers even lit a campfire, gazing at the frozen house.

On Luo Fan's side.

The ice cave extended toward the place Xiaoxue had mentioned, and Luo Fan also sensed a strong ice element, which gave him a bone-chilling feeling.

Despite the pressure, I rushed forward with all my might. In that chilling space, I found a deep blue stone and, braving the bitter cold, put it into my ring.

As a result, a powerful, disrupted current of air rushed out, pushing Luo Fan directly into Xiao Xue's arms.

"Brother Fan, it's so cold!"

Even Xiaoxue felt cold! Luo Fan felt like he'd been screwed over, so he quickly led her to a corner and froze everything around them with ice pillars!

Feeling the intense chill, he simultaneously returned to his clone on the other side to warn Ellie and the others to get out quickly.

When he returned to accompany Xue'er, all the corners except for the air currents were covered with frost.

"Brother Fan, what should we do now?" After being isolated from the cold air, Xiaoxue recovered quite a bit; her body had shown signs of being frozen just now.

"Are you breathing okay?"

"No problem, as long as there are ice elements nearby."

"That's good. Once this chill dissipates, we can go out."

"Hmm. Where is that thing?"

"Don't worry, it's with me. The ice elements inside aren't that volatile." Luo Fan checked again and confirmed that it was indeed very stable.

"I just don't know what the situation is like outside. The ice layer is too thick, and I can't sense that part of my clone anymore."

"She should be fine. I sensed that Daisy has successfully advanced and is not in any danger."

"That's good. I just don't know when this cold wave will end." As he spoke, Luo Fan pressed himself against Xiao Xue's body, scraping away the ice behind her to make the space around them a little larger.

Outside.

About two hours later, Anna arrived with Joseph and felt a headache coming on when she saw the frozen house.

I knew something bad would happen, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

"Sister Anna, I'm sorry. I don't know where this cold wave came from. Luo Fan and Xiao Xue are still inside, but they are not in any immediate danger."

"Oh, it's good that you're alright."

On their way there, they already knew the general situation, but they were still shocked to see the house completely frozen.

Thankfully, she wasn't sent to the Frost Dungeon, or that place would have been doomed.

That slime's ability to cause trouble is terrifying.

The ice-type mages from the guild who had come along had already started working, and Daisy went up to assist them, slowly dealing with the ice outside.

Fortunately, the ice block showed no signs of further expansion during this period, and the processing speed gradually increased.

As evening approached, the tavern was cleared out, but all the liquids were frozen. The path leading to the dungeon, however, was also frozen and would require more time to clear.

Meanwhile, the vice president from Dongcheng also arrived and became extremely anxious after learning the details. However, faced with the thick layer of ice, he had no quick solution.

"Speed ​​up, we must rescue them as soon as possible!" the vice president suggested, and the men he brought joined the de-icing operation.

He even confirmed the location of the cave with Ellie and the others, and after verifying the cave's number with the guild members, he became even more anxious.

Inside the cave, the two men dug a hole and began to examine the stone.

"Is it edible?" Luo Fan looked at Xiao Xue, but the little girl shook her head and just touched it with her hand.

"There are too many elements inside, we can't digest them."

"Eat less this time." Luo Fan took out the blade, scraped off some crumbs, and fed them to Xiao Xue.

As a result, the little girl immediately entered a meditative state.

"Is it really that effective?" Luo Fan tasted a little and instantly felt a refreshing coolness that went straight to his soul. It was very invigorating, but his body felt like it was freezing.

After a while, Xiaoxue opened her eyes, smiled, and hugged Luo Fan to thaw him out.

"This thing can further enhance my ice resistance!" After making this new discovery, Luo Fan tried some more and ate some shaved ice with Xiao Xue.

Slowly, they destroyed nearly a tenth of the egg-sized stones. Luo Fan felt he had reached his limit, while Xiao Xue's level directly increased to level 35.

"Brother Fan, let's go outside. It's calmed down outside." Xiaoxue was very happy to have leveled up three times in a row. Even her spiritual sense had improved, and her perception of the icy world had become several times stronger.

"Yes, Ellie and the others will definitely be worried."

The entire cave was covered in ice, and to get out, one had to break through the ice, since Xiaoxue's body was so large, unlike Luo Fan who could transform.

"Where is this cold air coming from?" Luo Fan looked at the cave filled with ice crystals, especially one spot where wisps of cold air were still leaking out, but it no longer affected the two of them.

"Xiaoxue, I'll go in and take another look. Maybe I'll find something else."

"Okay, then I'll deal with the ice nearby first."

"Hmm, Xue'er is such a good girl!"
