A few days later.

Ice Fiend's condition gradually stabilized; although still weak, he was out of danger.

Under the careful care of Wang Fan and the others, Bing Mei's complexion improved significantly.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Wang Fan standing guard beside her, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Wang Fan, thank you... If it weren't for you and everyone else, my father and I would probably be in serious trouble this time..." Bing Mei's voice was weak, but every word was filled with sincere emotion.

Wang Fan smiled gently and comforted her, "Don't say that. We're friends, and friends should support each other. I'm relieved to see that you and Senior Bing Sha are safe and sound."

Just then, Qin Xiaoxuan's voice came from outside the door: "Wang Fan, are Bingmei and the others awake? We've made some chicken soup to help them recover."

Wang Fan got up, walked quickly to the door, and took the steaming chicken soup from Qin Xiaoxuan's hand.

"Ice Fairy just woke up, this chicken soup comes at the perfect time."

Wang Fan glanced at Qin Xiaoxuan, then looked at the group of women behind her.

Although everyone looked somewhat tired, their previous injuries had healed considerably.

Qin Xiaoxuan's arm originally had a shocking wound.

Su Yaqi's shoulder was scratched.

The bruises on Su Yalin's calves.

The wound on Hua Nianci's calf, etc.

Wang Fan smiled with relief and said, "I'm relieved to see that you've all recovered so well. I was negligent before, which put you all in danger, but thankfully you're all alright."

Qin Xiaoxuan gently shook her head and said, "Wang Fan, stop blaming yourself. No one could have predicted those unexpected situations. And the most important thing is that everyone is alright now."

Su Yaqi chimed in, "That's right, we're all fine now, and we even defeated the Siren King..."

At this moment, Bingmei weakly said, "Thank you all. Thank you for taking care of me and my father during this time."

Wang Fan brought the chicken soup to Bing Mei's side and said, "Bing Mei, don't be shy, come on, have some chicken soup to nourish your body."

Bingmei took the soup bowl, slowly drank a few sips, and a blush appeared on her face, indicating that she seemed to be in better spirits.

Hua Nianci walked to Bing Sha's side and checked its injuries again, saying, "Senior Bing Sha's injuries are gradually improving, but they are serious and will probably require better medicine to fully recover."

Wang Fan nodded and said, "Okay, then let's look around these next few days and see if we can find a better medicine."

"By the way, Ice Charm, you're familiar with this area, is there any place where these medicines might grow?"

After a moment's thought, Bingmei said, "Near a cluster of ice islands two hundred kilometers east of my Snow Soul Ice Nest, there's a fruit called 'Crystal Grape,' which should be very helpful for my father's recovery."

"However, the area is occupied by a group of guardian ice beasts. They are quite powerful, so obtaining the herbs will probably be quite a challenge."

Upon hearing Bingmei's words, Wang Fan's heart stirred.

Considering the promise Bing Sha made earlier, it seems that the father and daughter have already discussed it privately.

So he decided to play dumb and go with the flow.

Wang Fan looked at Bing Mei with a puzzled yet concerned expression and said, "Bing Mei, this sounds like it will be quite difficult. But in order for Senior Bing Sha to recover as soon as possible, we definitely have to find a way."

"Tell me in detail what exactly is going on with this guardian ice beast, and what the environment around the crystal vineyard is like, so we can come up with a plan."

Ice Fairy was deeply moved by Wang Fan's concern and immediately said, "Those guardian ice beasts resemble white tigers, and their bodies are covered with a layer of crystal-clear ice armor. Not only are they incredibly hard, but they can also launch magical attacks."

"They are agile and adept at traversing the ice surface quickly. Moreover, each ice beast can control ice magic, either condensing sharp ice spikes or creating ice walls to block enemies."

She paused briefly, then continued, "As for the Crystal Vineyard, it is located in the heart of the Icelandic archipelago, surrounded by a ring of natural icicles, like a natural barrier."

“There are narrow passages between the icicles, and these passages are winding and easy to get lost in. Moreover, there are ice traps in the passages from time to time, such as a sudden collapse of the ice surface or an icicle sticking out from the ground.”

As Wang Fan listened, he frowned slightly, quickly considering countermeasures in his mind.

"As for those ice traps, do you have any way to detect or neutralize them in advance?"

Ice Charm pondered for a moment and said, "I can sense the location of the trap by the fluctuations of ice element, but it is difficult to completely disarm it. We can be as careful as possible when we move around and avoid the area where the trap is located."

After learning about these circumstances, Wang Fan gradually formed a preliminary plan in his mind.

He looked at everyone with a firm gaze and began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.

……………

With Wang Fan's command, the ship slowly turned around and headed towards the group of ice islands that Bing Mei had pointed out.

Besides healing Ice Fiend's injuries, resupplying everyone is also a crucial issue.

The effects of the current wound medicine are no longer as significant for everyone, and new healing drugs must be found.

He entrusted Bingmei to the care of the women, instructing them, "Bingmei's body has not fully recovered yet, so please take good care of her."

The women nodded in agreement and escorted Bingmei into the cabin to settle in.

After settling Bingmei in, Wang Fan returned to his cabin and opened his personal attribute panel.

Name: Wang Fan

Level: Tier 4, Level 0 (800/)

Strength: 550 (normal adult is 10)

Physical fitness: 450 (normal adult is 10)

Agility: 450 (normal adult is 10)

Mental state: 450 (normal adult score is 10)

Attribute points: 200

Skills: Blood Shadow Halberd Technique, Mountain-Shaking Halberd Technique, Blood Sea Shield, Basic Fork Technique, Basic Combat.

Looking at the various attributes on the panel, he knew that the guardian ice beast he was about to face was extraordinary, and he had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Currently, he has enough attribute points, after careful consideration.

Wang Fan decided to distribute his attribute points evenly, focusing on strengthening his strength attribute.

As he added more attribute points, he could clearly feel a surge of power coursing through his body.

When his strength attribute reached 600, Wang Fan felt as if he had been reborn.

He stood up, gently waved his arm, and a sharp whistling sound immediately filled the air.

This simple swing contained astonishing power, almost like that of a superhuman.

At that moment, he felt that he could shatter a boulder with a single punch.

Then he clicked on the newly acquired skill, which he had learned after killing the Siren King.

Blood Shadow Halberd Technique: Using the Bloodthirsty Halberd as a medium, this technique unleashes a fierce halberd strike that can condense a blood-red halberd aura, causing massive damage to enemies. Its power can be further enhanced as more blood is absorbed.

Blood Sea Shield: Consumes the blood power from the Bloodthirsty Halberd to form a shield that can withstand a certain degree of attack. The shield's strength is related to the amount of blood.
