In the fierce battle against the dark creatures, Su Yao and her family fought back against wave after wave of enemy attacks. The temperature inside the ruins plummeted due to the corrosive power of the dark forces, and their breath instantly froze into frost. The extremely cold environment of the apocalypse seemed to resonate with the dark creatures, making the battle even more difficult.
The flames in Su Yao's hands burned stubbornly in the cold, but with each use of her power, she could feel the chill draining more of her strength. The flames, infused with the crystal ball's mysterious energy, not only fought against the dark creatures but also became the only source of heat in the surrounding area.
The energy crossbow bolts were slightly affected by the low temperature, and their firing speed decreased. However, thanks to his rich experience, he still accurately hit the dark creatures. Each bolt released an energy wave upon impact, temporarily dispelling the surrounding cold.
The mother struggled to maintain the energy shield, its mysterious patterns emitting a faint glow in the extreme cold. However, the dark creatures' attacks grew increasingly fierce, and tiny cracks began to appear on the shield, spreading with each impact.
Su Yao fought with his longsword, wielding it with impressive speed and power, but the cold gradually slowed his movements. Sweat condensed into ice beads on his forehead, yet his gaze remained resolute as he fearlessly battled the approaching dark creatures.
"We can't let them get near the crystal ball!" Su Yao shouted, her voice echoing in the cold air. She concentrated, raising the flames to their limit and unleashing a massive wall of fire towards the horde of dark creatures ahead. The wall of fire, like a roaring beast, instantly devoured a large swarm of dark creatures. The creatures screamed in agony under the intense heat, their bodies turning into black smoke and disappearing into the air.
But this only temporarily alleviated the crisis. More dark creatures bypassed the walls of fire and continued their charge towards the crystal ball. Su Yao's strength was waning; she felt her body growing heavier and heavier, as if bound tightly by extreme cold.
Just then, Su Yao suddenly remembered that the system had mentioned some techniques for fighting in extremely cold environments. She quickly searched her mind for relevant information and discovered that she could use some special items in her space to create a cold-proof barrier. She hurriedly opened her space and searched for suitable materials.
In a corner of the space, she found some special metal pieces she had collected during her previous adventures. These metal pieces had excellent heat insulation properties, and Su Yao took them out and quickly distributed them to her family. "Putting these metal pieces in front of you will help ward off the cold," Su Yao said.
The family members took the metal plates and arranged them according to Su Yao's instructions. Sure enough, they felt the chill lessen. With more energy, they threw themselves back into the fight.
Su Yao continued to manipulate the flames to attack the dark creatures. At the same time, she noticed several larger creatures among them, emanating a more powerful dark aura. These creatures seemed to be directing the actions of the other dark creatures; they stood at the rear, constantly releasing dark energy to enhance the combat power of the other dark creatures.
"Take down those leaders first!" Su Yao said to her parents. Her parents nodded, and he seized the opportunity, charging towards one of the dark leaders. His figure weaved through the horde of dark creatures, skillfully avoiding enemy attacks, and quickly approached his target. Her father concentrated all his strength into his longsword and thrust it fiercely at the dark leader.
The longsword pierced the dark leader, but its body was incredibly tough, and the sword only penetrated a small portion. The dark leader roared in fury, swinging its massive claws at Dad. Dad hurriedly dodged, but was still grazed on the arm by the dark leader's attack.
Seeing this, Su Yao was extremely anxious. She mobilized more of her supernatural abilities, condensing the flames into a giant firebird, which flew towards the Dark Leader. The firebird absorbed heat from its surroundings during flight, becoming even hotter. It charged towards the Dark Leader at incredible speed, coordinating with her father's attack.
The firebird slammed into the dark leader, the powerful impact sending it staggering back several steps. Flames erupted on its body as the dark leader struggled in agony. Taking advantage of the moment, Father launched another attack, pinpointing the dark leader's weakness and plunging his longsword precisely into its vital spot. The dark leader let out a final scream, its body collapsing with a crash, turning into black dust and dissipating into the air.
Seeing their companions annihilated, the other dark leaders grew even more frenzied. They joined the battle themselves, charging towards Su Yao and her companions. The fight reached its climax, and Su Yao and her family faced unprecedented pressure. But they knew that if they retreated, the crystal ball would be destroyed, the dark forces would be unleashed, and the entire world would be plunged into an abyss of no return. Gritting their teeth, relying on their unwavering will and tacit understanding, they continued to fight the dark creatures, protecting the crystal ball—a symbol of hope—in this apocalyptic, frigid world.
