The two strolled through the frozen canyon, the surrounding silence seemingly freezing time. Only their footsteps made soft, rhythmic sounds on the snow, intertwining with the occasional whistling of the wind to create a solitary traveler's song.
In the frigid air, every breath turned into white mist, quickly dissipating in the cold wind. On both sides of the canyon, icicles, sharp as swords, pierced the sky, reflecting a faint light and creating a dreamlike yet perilous atmosphere.
"It's too quiet here, something's not right," Chen Ping said in a low voice. His intuition told him that danger lurked beneath the calm surface.
Ying Huo nodded. She also sensed the oppressive tranquility, gripping her spear tightly, ready to deal with any unforeseen events.
Suddenly, a deep rumbling sound came from the depths of the canyon, followed by a slight tremor in the ground, as if some enormous creature was approaching. Chen Ping and Ying Huo exchanged a glance, then quickened their pace in unison, moving closer to the source of the sound, their hearts filled with vigilance.
As they ventured deeper, the wind seemed to grow even fiercer, carrying an indescribable low growl that grew louder and louder. Rounding a massive ice wall, a breathtaking panorama unfolded before them: a vast, open frozen lake.
In the center of the lake, a colossal frost behemoth slowly rose from beneath the surface, its body covered in thick ice armor, its eyes like burning sapphires, radiating a captivating light.
Upon seeing this, Ying Huo exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Ping, this looks like the BOSS!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded and replied, "Hmm, judging from its appearance, it should be the BOSS without a doubt. What do you think? Shall we fight?"
A fighting spirit ignited in her eyes, and Ying Huo straightened her spine, holding her spear horizontally in front of her chest. Her eyes shone with a determined light, as if telling Chen Ping that no matter how powerful the enemy, she was ready to fight.
Seeing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile. He was small in stature, but he had the presence of someone who was 1.8 meters tall.
......
This frost behemoth was none other than the Boss they had encountered—the Frost Lord. A swirling storm of ice crystals surrounded it, and with each breath, the surrounding air condensed into frost, demonstrating its immense power of ice. Under its influence, the surrounding environment became even harsher; the wind howled, the temperature plummeted, and even breathing became difficult.
The moment Chen Ping and Ying Huo stepped near the frozen lake, they were noticed by the Frost Lord.
The Frost Lord slowly raised its massive head, its gaze locking onto the two figures. Its deep roar carried an undeniable pressure, as if declaring that this was its territory and any intruder would face its wrath.
roar!!!
The roar, accompanied by a biting wind, swept towards Chen Ping and Ying Huo. Upon seeing this, the two quickly dodged away, for they could see numerous ice spikes in the cold wind.
Bang bang bang!!!
Countless ice spikes plunged deep into the ice, leaving only a small tail on the surface.
Hiss~!
Ying Huo couldn't help but gasp. She knew that the ice here was very hard. She had already tested it when she came in, and it only cracked under a full-force normal attack.
The ice surface was already close to the hardness of a divine artifact, yet the BOSS's attack penetrated it so easily.
Ping keenly sensed the eager gleam in Ying Huo's eyes—a desire for challenge and absolute confidence in his own abilities.
"Ying Huo, you go first, I'll support you from the side," Chen Ping suggested. He could see that this seemingly petite female warrior possessed formidable strength and determination, and decided to give her a stage to showcase herself. At the same time, he also wanted to observe the true strength of this new teammate in order to better formulate subsequent cooperation strategies.
Upon hearing this, Ying Huo's eyes flashed with gratitude. She then nodded emphatically, spear in hand, and charged towards the Frost Lord like a silver lightning bolt. She knew that against such a powerful enemy, every strike had to be cautious and precise. Therefore, she did not rashly use a large-scale attack, but instead chose a fast-moving guerrilla tactic, using speed and agility to find the Frost Lord's weaknesses.
The Frost Lord seemed to sense the challenger's extraordinary nature. It roared, its icy blue eyes flashing with a chilling light, and its massive icy claws slashed through the air, aiming at the agile Ying Huo. However, each attack seemed to be skillfully evaded by her using the terrain and her speed. Occasionally, she even managed to find the right moment to leave shallow marks on the Frost Lord's thick ice armor with her spear.
Chen Ping closely observed the battle, ready to intervene at any moment. However, after a brief look, he realized he wouldn't be needed, as Ying Huo was dominating the Frost Lord the entire time. Although Ying Huo couldn't break through the Frost Lord's ice crystal armor for the time being, Chen Ping could see that her attacks had already created connection points on the ice crystal armor.
Sure enough, half an hour later, as Ying Huo's final blow landed, a cracking sound rang out instantly, and then the Frost Lord's ice crystal armor shattered and fell onto the ice surface.
Upon seeing this, Ying Huo's eyes shone even brighter; clearly, she was extremely excited.
However, the Frost Lord was not going to give up. It roared, and the entire frozen lake began to tremble. The surrounding ice surface rapidly expanded, forming a huge ice wall in an attempt to trap the two inside.
Seeing this, Chen Ping reacted quickly, waving his hand and sending out an energy ripple that partially neutralized the ice wall's attack, giving Ying Huo valuable space to maneuver.
As for the ice wall coming from his direction, Chen Ping waved it again, and instantly, the ice wall turned into ice powder and disappeared. Just kidding, this BOSS is only a mid-stage God King.
Although he was close to the late stage of God King with the help of the environment, he was someone Chen Ping could kill in one move. However, Chen Ping did not want to reveal his strength in front of Ying Huo, so he held back a few moves.
However, Ying Huo, this little girl, is quite strong too, Chen Ping thought to himself as he stroked his chin and watched the small figure constantly darting around the BOSS.
This little girl's movements were so dazzling that Chen Ping felt a bit overwhelmed. She was so bouncy and bouncy, constantly swaying up and down. No wonder she cared so much about her height.
Time passed second by second. After losing its ice crystal armor, the Frost Lord began to develop wounds on its body. The wounds of varying sizes increased, making its movements increasingly slow.
Just then, a glint flashed in Ying Huo's eyes, and he whispered, "Ying Clan Spear Technique, Extreme Penetration!"
