Standing atop the snow-capped mountain, Su Yao and Ling Yu gazed at the "Heart of the Frost Source," protected by a powerful energy shield, and felt an unprecedented pressure. The biting cold emanated continuously from the ice crystals, as if trying to freeze their very souls.
"This shield looks difficult to break through; we need to study it first," Su Yao said, frowning. She activated the system, attempting to scan the shield's energy structure. The system rapidly processed the data, which flashed before Su Yao's eyes.
"This shield is made of a mixture of various extremely cold energies, including an ancient sealing power," Su Yao said, looking at the analysis results. Ling Yu approached the shield and tried to touch it with his hand. A chill instantly spread throughout his body, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
“We need to find a way to neutralize this extreme cold energy and break the seal,” Ling Yu said. Just then, Su Yao’s system issued a notification that a key item to break the shield might exist in a hidden corner of the snow mountain.
They began their search atop the mountain, the howling winds nearly knocking them off their feet. Behind a massive boulder covered in snow and ice, they discovered an ancient box. The box was covered in intricate runes, which emitted a faint glow, seemingly warding off the surrounding frigid air.
Su Yao carefully used her spatial abilities to move the box in front of her and tried to open it. However, the box was protected by a powerful seal; opening it directly would trigger an energy explosion. Therefore, she once again relied on the system to analyze the runes, searching for a way to break the seal.
After some effort, they activated the runes in a specific order, and the box slowly opened. Inside was a crystal key radiating a soft light, its energy fluctuations resonating with the energy of the shield.
“This should be the key to opening the shield.” Su Yao picked up the key and returned to the “Heart of the Frost Origin” with Ling Yu. When the crystal key approached the shield, the shield’s light fluctuated violently.
However, just as they were about to use the key to open the shield, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a large number of ice and snow sprites surged out from the "Heart of Frost." These sprites were small in size but extremely fast, and they danced around Su Yao and Ling Yu, releasing streams of cold air.
Su Yao and Ling Yu quickly entered battle mode. Ling Yu used his ice-type ability to create an ice shield to protect himself and Su Yao. Su Yao, on the other hand, activated her spatial ability, attempting to trap the ice and snow spirits in individual spatial bubbles.
But the ice sprites were extremely agile; they easily evaded the spatial bubbles and continued their attack. The ice rays they spat out struck the ice shield, causing it to crack.
"This won't do; we need to take the initiative," Ling Yu said. He put away his ice shield and unleashed countless ice blades, attacking the swarm of ice sprites. Some ice sprites were struck by the ice blades and turned into snowflakes, but many more sprites charged towards them.
Seeing this, Su Yao focused her mind and elevated her spatial abilities to a new level. She created spatial vortexes within the swarm of ice and snow elves, the powerful suction drawing many elves into them. These elves struggled within the vortexes, their energy gradually being consumed by them.
As they battled the ice and snow sprites, the light from the crystal key grew dimmer and dimmer. Su Yao realized she had to deal with the sprites quickly, or the key's energy might vanish.
As a result, she and Ling Yu worked together even more closely. Ling Yu used his ice-type ability to control the movements of some of the Pokémon, while Su Yao used her spatial ability to teleport these controlled Pokémon to the bottom of a distant snow-capped cliff.
After a hard-fought battle, they finally repelled most of the ice and snow spirits. At this moment, although the crystal key's light was dim, it still retained some energy.
They returned to the shield, and Su Yao inserted the crystal key into a small hole that had appeared on it. The shield emitted a dazzling light, and within that light, cracks began to appear. As the cracks widened, the full scope of the "Heart of the Frost Source" gradually unfolded before them.
It was a beautiful and mysterious ice crystal heart, containing powerful energy. But just as they were about to make contact with the "Heart of the Frost Source," an even more powerful consciousness emanated from it, seemingly conducting a final test on them.
