Perhaps it was a last-minute flash of light before death. At this moment, Gao Yang was able to see the expressions on the faces of his teammates in front of him despite the biting cold wind and flying snowflakes.
Zhao Kewen, who was originally holding Gao Yang's wrist, turned around immediately after feeling Gao Yang let go, his face full of surprise and anxiety.
Gao Yang could clearly see Zhao Kewen's mouth gradually opening. He probably wanted to say something like "don't give up". Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
Gao Yang stretched out his hand and shook it hard, breaking free from Zhao Kewen's hand and stopping on his own initiative. Since he was already planning to give up, he might as well make use of his remaining energy to buy more time for his teammates to escape.
He turned around and faced the large group of Frost Flower Rabbits alone, having already planned his own death in his mind.
The next second, the righteous expression on Gao Yang's face instantly turned into horror.
"ah--"
For some unknown reason, his body suddenly flew up uncontrollably, and he and his teammates quickly moved away from the group of Frost Rabbits.

It was naturally Gu Shi and the others who took action at this time.
After confirming that the black shadows running towards them were four unlucky people being chased by monsters, they thought about it and finally decided to rescue them.
Gu Shi took action first, using wind magic to move these people away from the battlefield. At the same time, Zhao Zhize and Cheng Xuqing were responsible for stepping forward to temporarily block the Frost Flower Rabbit.
In this snowy field where ice magic gathered, Cheng Xuqing, a fire mage, suffered a lot of suppression, so Zhao Zhize took the lead in the attack, and Cheng Xuqing was responsible for assisting from the side.
After Gu Shi carried these four unlucky guys away, he released a tornado towards the two of them with his hands, and then quickly moved away with the six people.
He had noticed just now that from the time he could see the four people clearly until they ran in front of him, the number of Frost Rabbits behind them was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although Gu Shi was not defeated, it was natural for him to run away first as he was carrying so many burdens with him.
In this way, under the leadership of Gu Shi, they quickly arrived at a safe place.
After landing safely, two of the four members of the team realized that they were out of danger, and they hugged each other excitedly and burst into tears.
Zhao Kewen was relatively calm. He looked at the young couple crying in each other's arms with some helplessness, and took the initiative to assume the responsibility of external communication.
He took two or three steps forward, his expression sincere but his tone ironic as he said, "Thank you for saving us. I can't repay you enough. Is there anything you want? I do have some spare cash..."
These words were all normal, but when they came out of Zhao Kewen's mouth, they seemed to carry an inexplicable meaning. Gu Shi and the other two looked at each other, somewhat unsure whether he was apologizing or being sarcastic.
As soon as Gao Yang walked over, he saw Zhao Kewen unconsciously mocking him. He quickly dragged his sore legs forward and slapped Zhao Kewen on the back, interrupting him.
Gao Yang then quickly explained to Gu Shi and the others, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Although it doesn't sound right, this guy really doesn't have any bad intentions. He usually speaks in this tone and I can't change it no matter what I do.
Please don't mind us, we are really grateful for saving our lives."
After Gu Shi and the other two exchanged glances, Cheng Xuqing took the initiative to step forward.
"It's okay, it's okay. Everyone has their own unique quirks. We understand."
"I'm so sorry."
Hearing him say this, Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally escaped from the tiger's den, and he didn't want to fall into the dragon's den again.
Zhao Kewen's mouth often caused trouble. They had heard it for a long time, so they had become immune to it. However, when outsiders heard his sarcastic tone, conflicts would easily break out, especially those with bad tempers.
Unfortunately, he himself had no awareness of this. After being reminded by his companions, he hoped very much to improve his tone through social training, but it was obvious that the effect was not very good.
To avoid further embarrassment, Cheng Xuqing took the initiative to change the subject, "How did you get so many Frost Flower Rabbits? I was shocked when I saw you."
Gao Yang scratched his head and said, "Alas, this matter is ultimately due to our carelessness.
You seem to have just entered this ice field. You may not know that there is a special area in this ice field."
"The monsters there are more aggressive than those in other places. In other places, you might only need to stay one meter away from a monster to avoid disturbing it, but in that place, you have to stay more than twice that distance away.
The reason we encountered this predicament this time was because we accidentally entered that special area, and during the battle, we attracted a completely unexpected number of monsters."
Gu Shi nodded thoughtfully. He had never thought there would be such a place in this icy plain. Could it be related to the treasure he was looking for? He'd better ask around.
Before he could even open his mouth, Cheng Xuqing had already asked the question he wanted to ask.
"Where is that place you're talking about? Could you point it out to us? This is our first time here too, and it would be bad if we got lost."
Gao Yang nodded. "Of course no problem. Do you have a map? I'll circle it for you."
Under Gao Yang's guidance, a red danger area was quickly marked on the map.
Cheng Xuqing then asked him a few more questions about the ice field. After learning a lot of relevant information, the three of them prepared to say goodbye.
Cheng Xuqing smiled and waved, "Then we'll be leaving first. I wish you all safe journey ahead!"
After both parties said goodbye to each other, Gu Shi and the other two turned around and walked into the wind and snow.
Gu Shi and his companions walked forward for a while and then found a relatively secluded place to stop.
Cheng Xuqing took out a map and spread it out, pointing to the red area on it. He said, "Look, the place that person just mentioned happens to include the location we are going to. Do you think there is any connection between the two?"
Gu Shi said, "I have considered this possibility just now, but there are too few clues now, and I can't give a reasonable explanation."
Zhao Zhize and he shared the same idea. "We can't be completely sure of the situation at the scene based solely on the information they've given us. I think we'll have to wait until we see it with our own eyes to know more."
Gu Shi urged: "In that case, let's move forward quickly.
The days here are shorter than in other places, and the temperature at night will probably drop even lower, so we only have a few hours each day to act.
Furthermore, in such an environment, it is quite difficult to find a suitable place to stay. We must hurry while it is still light."
"Okay, let's go."
"Let's go, let's go. I don't want to be cold in the middle of the night."
