Chapter 40: The aftermath, the intersection of hope and destiny



The Ice Hall was completely silent, with only the heavy breathing of the crowd as the sound. Lin Yu slowly stood up, looking at the broken ice and the remaining magic light on the ground, with mixed feelings in his heart. This victory came too hard, and everyone paid a heavy price.

Su Yao staggered to Lin Yu's side, her legs weak, and she almost fell. Lin Yu was quick to catch her. Su Yao raised her head, tears still in her eyes, and cried in her voice: "Lin Yu, are you really okay? Just now you..." She didn't dare to say anything more. Thinking back to the moment when Lin Yu was injured, her heart felt like it was torn apart.

Lin Yu patted Su Yao's shoulder gently and squeezed out a smile: "I'm really fine, thanks to the 'Healing Dew' I drew when I signed in." His eyes were gentle, trying to soothe Su Yao's frightened mood, but he was worried in his heart, not knowing what dangers he would encounter next.

Xiao Yi walked over rubbing his injured shoulder, with an excited smile on his face: "Lin Yu, we have won a great victory this time! I didn't expect that we could repel both the Dark Cult and the Holy Church of Light!" His laughter echoed in the empty hall, but with a hint of trembling after surviving a disaster.

Lu Ming pushed his shattered glasses, only to remember they'd been damaged in the chaos. Reluctantly, he lowered his hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Although we've temporarily repelled them, these two forces will certainly not give up. Furthermore, the secrets of this far north are far from being revealed. We must find a solution quickly."

Lin Yu nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Xing Lan's voice rang in his mind: "Lin Yu, it's time for the daily sign-in again! See what gift the goddess of luck has prepared for you today."

Lin Yu smiled bitterly in his heart: "Xinglan, after going through so much, I really hope that this reward can be of great help to our next journey." He silently signed in, and the virtual interface emerged, with the pointer spinning rapidly.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Destiny Guiding Compass'. Upon use, it can point you in the right direction at a critical moment, avoiding a fatal danger. Limited to once per day."

Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "This compass came just in time! In this unknown far north, it might be our lifeline."

At this moment, a low rumble suddenly erupted from the depths of the Ice Palace, as if some ancient being had been awakened. Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they quickly prepared for battle.

"There's trouble again." Xiao Yi gripped the weapon tightly in his hand, but there was no fear in his eyes, instead they were full of excitement.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and activated his "Telepathic Eyes" to try to discern the impending danger. However, the strange interfering force reappeared, blurring his perception.

As the roar grew closer, a massive figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It was a giant wolf, its body ablaze with blue flames. Its eyes flickered with an eerie light, and the ground shook with every step it took.

"What kind of monster is this?" Su Yao hid behind Lin Yu in fear, her voice filled with tears.

Lin Yu stared at the giant wolf, his heartbeat accelerating rapidly, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it. "No matter what it is, we can't retreat!" He turned to look at his companions. Su Yao's eyes were full of fear, but she nodded firmly; Xiao Yi's face was full of excitement, and the light of battle flashed in his eyes; Lu Ming pushed up his non-existent glasses, his eyes revealing calmness and consideration.

"Su Yao, you use your defensive ability to protect everyone in the back; Xiao Yi, you and I will attack its weaknesses together; Lu Ming, you use your props to interfere with its actions." Lin Yu made quick arrangements.

Everyone acted quickly. Su Yao quickly formed seals with her hands, and the defensive shield enveloped everyone again. Xiao Yi shouted and rushed towards the giant wolf with Lin Yu. Lin Yu used his newly awakened superpowers, and the colorful light and ice elemental power intertwined and blasted towards the giant wolf.

The giant wolf roared and waved its huge claws, easily blocking Lin Yu's attack. At the same time, a blue flame column spewed out of its mouth and shot towards Lin Yu and Xiao Yi. Lin Yu and Xiao Yi quickly dodged sideways, but were still hit by the aftermath of the flame column, and their clothes were instantly ignited.

"It's so hot!" Xiao Yi exclaimed. He rolled over quickly, trying to put out the flames on his body.

Lu Ming continued to throw various small props from behind, some of which released strong electric currents in an attempt to paralyze the giant wolf's movements; some emitted pungent smoke in an attempt to interfere with its vision. However, the giant wolf was too powerful, and these attacks seemed to be just tickles to it.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and everyone gradually fell into trouble. Lin Yu's physical strength and supernatural powers were greatly depleted, and his body was burned by the giant wolf's flames in many places, causing unbearable pain. He could feel that his movements were getting slower and slower, and his reactions were not as agile as at the beginning.

"Are we going to lose here again?" Lin Yu felt a surge of despair in his heart, but he quickly cheered up, "No, I can't give up. I promised everyone that we would uncover the secrets of the Far North together!"

At this moment, Su Yao suddenly shouted: "Lin Yu, be careful!"

Lin Yu turned his head subconsciously, only to see the giant wolf leap high, its huge claws clawing towards his head. At this critical moment, Lin Yu suddenly remembered the "Destiny Guiding Compass". He quickly took out the compass and shouted: "Guide me!"

The compass shone brightly, and a beam of light pointed to the left. Lin Yu didn't have time to think about it and quickly rolled to the left. The giant wolf's claws brushed against the corner of his clothes, bringing up a gust of wind.

"That was a close call!" Lin Yu was still in shock. He knew that this time it was the "Destiny Guiding Compass" that saved his life.

"Don't panic, everyone. We still have a chance!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice full of fighting spirit.
