The mysterious man in black robes held aloft a crystal ball that emitted a chilling light. The extreme cold power within the crystal ball surged like a raging wave, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply. Su Yao and Ling Yu could even feel their blood freezing.
"We can't let him unleash this power, or everything will be over," Su Yao said anxiously. She quickly searched the system for items that could deal with this situation and discovered that the mysterious glove she had obtained in an ancient ruin might have a solution. This glove could temporarily absorb and neutralize powerful energy.
Su Yao quickly took out gloves from the system space and put them on, then said to Ling Yu, "I'm going to grab the crystal ball, you cover me." Ling Yu nodded and once again used his ice-type ability to create ice walls in front of the mysterious man in black robes, blocking his view.
Su Yao activated spatial teleportation, appearing directly behind the mysterious man in black robes. Sensing the movement behind him, the man was about to turn around when Su Yao reached for the crystal ball. The instant her hand touched the ball, a powerful surge of extreme cold coursed through her arm, and her body began to freeze. But Su Yao gritted her teeth and persevered, activating the energy absorption function of her gloves.
The gloves emitted a soft glow, counteracting the chilling light of the crystal ball. The extreme cold within the crystal ball seemed to be provoked, surging wildly towards Su Yao's gloves. Su Yao felt her power rapidly draining away, but she still gripped the crystal ball tightly, preventing the mysterious man in black robes from regaining control of it.
Seeing Su Yao in danger, Ling Yu disregarded his own safety, broke through the ice wall he had created, and charged towards the mysterious man in black robes. The mysterious man in black robes, seeing this, lowered his staff and unleashed a barrage of ice blades towards Ling Yu. Ling Yu nimbly dodged the ice blades, simultaneously conjuring an ice spear to engage the mysterious man in close combat.
On Su Yao's side, the gloves' absorption of the extreme cold energy was gradually falling behind the crystal ball's release rate, and her body was already mostly covered in ice. Just when she was about to give up, the system suddenly notified her that there was a special formation that could temporarily seal the crystal ball's power, but it required certain resources to set it up.
Su Yao quickly checked her system space and discovered that she had collected these materials while hoarding supplies. Using her spatial abilities, she set up an array on the surrounding snow. Each time a material was placed, the array would flash a wisp of light, suppressing the extreme cold power of the crystal ball.
The mysterious man in black robes saw Su Yao setting up the formation and tried to stop her, but Ling Yu fought desperately to stop him, sustaining multiple cuts from the ice blades. Thanks to Ling Yu's efforts, Su Yao finally completed the formation. As the last material was placed in place, the formation emitted a dazzling light, and the extreme cold power of the crystal ball was temporarily sealed.
Enraged, the mysterious man in black robes intensified his attack on Ling Yu, who gradually became unable to withstand it. Taking advantage of the situation, Su Yao stored the sealed crystal ball in her system space, then teleported to Ling Yu's side, taking him away from the mysterious man in black robes.
“We need to get out of here first and rethink our plan,” Su Yao said. They quickly ran down the snow-capped mountain, with the mysterious man in black robes hot on their heels. During their escape, Su Yao began to think about how to completely destroy the crystal ball and how to deal with this powerful enemy, the mysterious man in black robes.
They arrived at a valley, where Su Yao used her spatial abilities to conceal their presence. The mysterious man in black robes lost track of their target and frantically searched the surrounding area. Su Yao and Ling Yu rested briefly in the valley, taking stock of the resources within their system space, looking for something they could use to fight the mysterious man in black robes and destroy the crystal ball.
