Chapter 34
Leng Huai kept a close eye on the white dragon's movements. If it dared to touch a single hair on Mo Xiaoxin's head, he would surely pulverize it.
Leng Huai's eyes flickered. Something was wrong. Why was he saving her?
He couldn't understand why he instinctively jumped down when the ground cracked open.
The Demon Staff circled anxiously around Mo Xiaoxin, gently tapping her repeatedly, but Mo Xiaoxin showed no reaction.
The white dragon stretched out its claws to touch Mo Xiaoxin. Why was this little demon so weak?
I was just arguing with her for a bit, how did she suddenly faint?
The Demon Staff noticed the white dragon's movements and immediately stood in front of Mo Xiaoxin to protect her.
Bai Long frowned: "What is this thing? How dare it block my way?"
The Demon Staff cannot speak; it radiates intense flames. If the White Dragon tries to touch Mo Xiaoxin, it will roast him into a white-cooked dragon.
The white dragon sneered: "You're quite protective of your master. If I'm not mistaken, you're an ancient artifact. Why would you protect such a weak and ordinary demon?"
The Demon Staff snorted angrily; it wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of its master like that. The flames around it intensified, indicating its extreme dissatisfaction.
The white dragon laughed loudly: "Although you are something created by the demon god, I am also an ancient divine beast. We are one fire and one ice, so we are quite compatible."
The white dragon had no intention of fighting the Demon God's Staff. Instead, it looked at Leng Huai, who had been silently watching it: "Your magic is exceptionally powerful, making you a formidable opponent. It's just a pity that once you've entered my territory, you can never leave! I've taken a liking to your woman, so let her stay here and stay with me forever!"
Leng Huai said coldly, "White Dragon, as an ancient divine beast, you no longer need to absorb food to survive. Why do you continue to do evil? And why did you deliberately create an Ice Prison Demon Pool?"
When Leng Huai heard that Bai Long actually wanted to keep Mo Xiaoxin, he suddenly felt like he had been robbed. This feeling of having one of his people taken away made him very uncomfortable.
He forced himself to calm down. She was just a woman from the Southern Demon Realm; he could always marry another.
The white dragon roared to the sky, a triumphant smile on its face: "I didn't expect you to know so much. Fine, since you're about to be eaten by me, I'll let you die knowing why!"
The white dragon swayed triumphantly in the sky: "My ancient power is too strong, too boring. If I wanted to overthrow the entire world, it would only take a moment. But if that were the case, it would be too dull. I want to watch all of you gods, demons, monsters, and humans fall into the traps I've set and be played with by me! But speaking of which, you two are quite lucky. I just set this space here, and you immediately discovered it. Isn't that fate?"
"So you captured us just to tease us and then eat us, right?"
"Not bad, quite clever. I'm lucky today, I've met two interesting and intelligent people." Bai Long was very pleased.
Bai Long stared at Leng Huai's unchanging face and found it strange: "Why aren't you afraid when you see me?"
Leng Huai: "Why should I be afraid?"
Bai Long felt slighted and was quite displeased: "There's no one in the whole world I'm not afraid of! Well then, I'll show you what fear really is!"
Suddenly, the white dragon pounced fiercely towards Leng Huai, and in an instant, the temperature in the space plummeted.
The rocks beneath Leng Huai's feet rapidly condensed into a layer of icicles in the chilling air. The white dragon opened its maw, and a beam of icy blue light shot out, blasting straight towards where Leng Huai stood. With a deafening roar, the rocks shattered into countless fragments upon impact with the icy beam.
Leng Huai remained unfazed, and his body instantly burst into flames, colliding fiercely with the ice pillar.
The sounds of fighting echoed through the cave. Mo Xiaoxin slowly woke up and looked up to see Leng Huai and Bai Long fighting fiercely.
The white dragon swung its massive body, manipulating countless ice spikes to shoot towards Leng Huai.
Leng Huai nimbly weaved through the gaps in the ice cones, while simultaneously gathering flames into blades of fire that slashed towards the white dragon.
Suddenly, several ice spikes flew past Leng Huai's side and headed towards Mo Xiaoxin. Shadow Mist retreated quickly, and the Demon God Staff blocked the ice spikes in front of it, but one ice spike cunningly dodged behind it.
With the ice spikes about to hit her, if she didn't dodge, not only would she be injured, but Shadow Mist would also be caught in the crossfire.
With her body limp, Mo Xiaoxin tumbled off the Shadow Mist and fell into the ice. The ice had melted more than half due to the previous heat, and Mo Xiaoxin fell into the water with a splash.
At the same time, the ice spikes pierced towards them again. Shadow Mist was too late to stop Mo Xiaoxin and quickly dodged the attack of the ice spikes.
The icicles crashed straight into the water, creating a thousand waves.
The Demon Staff and the Shadow Mist looked at each other anxiously, both staring at the direction where Mo Xiaoxin had fallen into the water.
These are fire-based spells; they will have no effect if you jump into the lake, leaving you helpless.
The Demon Staff wanted to send a message to Leng Huai, but was stopped by the Shadow Mist.
Shadow Mist: "Master is fighting with the White Dragon. If you interfere now, it will be detrimental to Master!"
The Demon Staff didn't care about any of that. Mo Xiaoxin had fallen into the icy water, and with her fever already escalating, how could she possibly have the strength to swim to the surface? If no one rescued her, she would surely die here!
Leng Huai was fully focused on fighting the white dragon.
As expected of an ancient divine beast, the white dragon possessed astonishing strength. Leng Huai could only fight it to a draw because his magic was restricted by space. However, if this continued, his stamina would inevitably be depleted, and he would eventually fall into danger.
No, this can't go on any longer. This white dragon is very cunning; we have to come up with a solution.
As he was pondering, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure rushing towards him out of the corner of his eye. He reached out and grabbed the Demon God Staff, sensing its urgency and unease. Leng Huai looked in Mo Xiaoxin's direction and realized that Mo Xiaoxin had disappeared without a trace.
Bai Long followed Leng Huai's gaze and looked over: "Where did my pet go?"
Shadow Mist gestured below, indicating that Mo Xiaoxin had fallen into the water.
Leng Huai did not stop and continued to attack Bai Long.
Bai Long: "What, aren't you going to save your woman?"
Leng Huai: "I have no feelings for her, she is not my woman."
Bai Long: "Oh? Then why did you jump in when she fell?"
Leng Huai remained silent. Seeing Leng Huai's expression, Bai Long burst into laughter: "Still not admitting it? Are you trying to mislead me? Do you think I won't kill her?"
Whether you kill her or not is none of my business. Whether you want to keep her here or kill her, it doesn't matter to me. My only goal is to kill you and get out of here!
A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Long's crimson eyes: "As expected of the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, your heart is indeed extremely cold. Even I, a white dragon who has always lived in a cold land, have to admire you."
Hearing Bai Long's mocking tone, Leng Huai's face remained expressionless.
White Dragon: "Do you think I have any pity? Have you ever heard of anyone who has walked out of the Ice Prison Demon Pool? Unless I take pity on you and let you out, don't even think about it! But... that possibility is zero. Hahahaha..."
The Demon Staff had somehow appeared behind the White Dragon.
Leng Huai smiled and said, "And then it happened."
Bai Long roared in fury: "Impossible! I, Bai Long, have never failed before!"
Just as Bai Long was about to attack Leng Huai, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.
It turned its head, and flames erupted from the dragon scales on its back, sizzling as they burned.
The white dragon let out a painful roar, circled in the sky a few times, and then plunged headfirst into the icy water.
Looking in the direction where Mo Xiaoxin disappeared, Leng Huai rushed over and jumped into the water.
It's so cold...so cold.
Unlike the previous fall into the lake, the water in this Ice Prison Demon Pool seemed to carry a bone-chilling poison. The moment it touched the skin, it felt like thousands of ice needles piercing it, and the chill spread wildly through the flesh.
Her body instinctively shivered, causing her consciousness to momentarily waver.
Her body was sinking deeper and deeper. She opened her eyes and saw an endless expanse of icy water all around her.
Yes, in her haste to avoid the icicles, she jumped into the pool.
Her head was throbbing with pain, and her weakened body was tormented beyond recognition by the combined attack of high fever and cold water. Her limbs were limp, and she didn't even have the strength to paddle.
The scene before her eyes was sometimes blurry and sometimes distorted. All her heat was being absorbed by the icy water, and she was slowly sinking into a bottomless abyss as she suffered severe hypothermia.
The oxygen in her chest cavity was almost depleted, and the icy water felt like merciless hands slapping her face, preventing her from completely passing out.
It would be better if she died unconsciously, but what's most frightening is that this kind of excruciating pain keeps destroying her will.
Will she die?
Her million...
Damn it... why is her body in so much pain? She can't take it anymore!
Mo Xiaoxin was in extreme discomfort and wanted to scratch her stinging, itchy skin, a sensation that caused her immense pain.
Suddenly, just as he was in excruciating pain and wished he could bite his tongue and kill himself, a strange feeling came over him, and she involuntarily trembled slightly.
There seemed to be a power surging within her, making her feel icy cold one moment and scorching hot the next. The extreme temperatures made her head feel like it was about to explode.
Why is my body feeling so strange?
Unbeknownst to them, the cold poison in the water had quietly seeped into her pores, attempting to completely erode her. However, they discovered something else within her body that sent chills down their spines: the snake venom that Leng Huai had previously implanted in her.
After realizing they couldn't escape, these cold toxins accepted the harsh reality of merging with the snake venom within Mo Xiaoxin's body. But then, something strange happened: the two toxins combined and began to fight each other, which is why Mo Xiaoxin felt excruciating pain. Fortunately, the two toxins were exhausted from their back-and-forth fighting and decided to coexist. After merging, they mutated.
An ice lotus flower appeared on Mo Xiaoxin's forehead at some unknown time. Wisps of white mist spread from the ice lotus and wrapped around Mo Xiaoxin, seemingly healing her injuries.
A faint halo of light surrounded Mo Xiaoxin, and she suddenly felt that her body was no longer in pain, cold, or feverish. Everything around her seemed to have become quiet.
Frosty ice flowers condensed on her palms, spreading rapidly and emanating a chill that counteracted the surrounding cold.
She felt a continuous flow of power emanating from her body, gradually pulling her weak, hypothermic body back on track, and her complexion gradually regained some color.
Mo Xiaoxin was both surprised and delighted by the sudden arrival of the power.
What incredible luck she had!
It's unbelievable that someone possesses such immense power within their body.
The fish in the water scattered due to Mo Xiaoxin's powerful fluctuations, obediently circling around him.
She casually flicked her finger, and ice flowers flew out quickly, sending the fish flying.
What kind of amazing technique is this? It looks incredibly powerful!
Mo Xiaoxin looked at the ice flower in her hand with a happy smile and couldn't help but sigh that she had saved another fifty million.
Leng Huai swam over, stared at the scene for a moment, and was secretly shocked.
Is this... a lost ice spell?
