On the other side.
A land of ice and cold.
There isn't actually a fixed entrance here, unlike a secret realm.
The so-called entrance is just an area with fewer monsters due to the fact that it has been visited by many people.
Entering the icy lands from here serves as a buffer, preventing sudden encounters with danger.
There were many people near the entrance. Jiang Wuyuan sensed them briefly and found that most of them were adventurers at the level of Grand Martial Master and Martial King.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people here when a natural disaster strikes. Aren't they afraid of dying?" Chu Yang clicked his tongue.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food." This saying applies at any time.
Zhan Buhui's gaze swept across the area, sensing several hidden auras of equal strength to his own. He couldn't help but marvel at the hidden talents of the Dragon Kingdom: "Be careful once you enter. By the way, the Frozen Lands are not entirely Dragon Kingdom territory; other countries also border them. So you might encounter foreigners once you're inside. Try to avoid conflicts."
But if the other party is also eyeing the Dragon Pool Ice Fruit, then there's no need to hold back.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded, a determined glint in his eyes.
Zhan Buhui took out a map and led the two of them on a fast journey on the ground.
Unlike other places, the Frozen Lands are home to many flying magical beasts that live high in the sky.
Traveling in the air is not much simpler than traveling on the ground.
This was thanks to his combat suit; even standing on the ice, Jiang Wuyuan didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.
"Watch out, there's a monster."
Zhan Buhui raised his hand and waved it, unleashing a burst of energy that shattered the bones and muscles of the snake-like demonic beast that had suddenly sprung out.
Compared to the last time when he watched the battle from a great distance, this time, Jiang Wuyuan felt the power of the Grandmaster more directly.
With a casual strike, he could instantly kill a fourth-tier magical beast.
This kind of strength is what he aspires to.
Suddenly, Jiang Wuyuan's ears twitched as he faintly heard the sound of wind all around him. He immediately and discreetly made a hand seal.
The flying swords inside the sword box were controlled and shot out one after another, the golden sword shadows silently piercing the heads of the monsters that were hiding in the snow and trying to launch a sneak attack.
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and lowered the heavy sword he had already raised.
"This kid is improving way too fast."
Zhan Buhui nodded in agreement: "Given time, surpassing us won't be difficult."
Chu Yang neither confirmed nor denied this.
"Let's hurry up. We don't know the exact location where the Dragon Pool Ice Fruit grows yet, so we can only look for it first."
Jiang Wuyuan nodded and sped off.
——
The three fought and retreated in the icy land.
This place not only has a wide ice surface, but also many seawater areas exposed after the ice layers have cracked.
But beneath the sea lies the greatest threat of this icy land.
"Fortunately, this mission doesn't require going into the sea."
Chu Yang felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the demonic shark that had just broken through the ice and leaped out of the sea, swallowing a Grand Martial Master whole before returning to the ocean.
He really hates fish!
"Look at your pathetic self." Zhan Buhui shook his head with a helpless smile.
At this moment, Jiang Wuyuan, who had been spreading his divine sense to survey his surroundings, faintly sensed an unusual aura from the west: "There's something in the west, shall we take a look?"
Zhan Buhui and Chu Yang exchanged a glance: "Of course, we're already here."
Jiang Wuyuan responded and led the way, stepping on the rainbow.
Before long, the three arrived at a place shrouded in a barrier.
"Spatial barrier?"
Zhan Buhui took two steps forward and raised his hand to touch the light screen in front of him.
The silvery-white light curtain rippled, and Zhan Buhui pressed down hard with his right hand. Powerful blood energy burst out from his palm and crashed into the barrier along with the rich laws of spearmanship.
Click—
A slight crack appeared in the spatial barrier, which slowly healed after a moment, and the crack disappeared without a trace.
"You two step back a bit."
Zhan Buhui took out his spear, his gaze slightly narrowed.
Hundred-Crack Spear!
Seven illusory spears, splitting off from the barrier, pierced into it and suddenly exploded upon contact.
Ding—
The barrier was instantly blasted open, creating a gap.
"Come inside with me quickly!"
Zhan Buhui lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body leaving a blur as he rushed straight into the barrier.
Jiang Wuyuan and Chu Yang followed closely behind.
Just a second before entering the barrier, Chu Yang, who was at the very back, suddenly frowned and swung his heavy sword backward.
clang!
An immense force surged from his hand, and Chu Yang twisted his body to dissipate the force, retreating into the barrier's range along with the momentum.
The person who launched the sneak attack from outside wasn't so lucky. He was knocked back by Chu Yang's attack and staggered a couple of steps, just in time for the barrier to recover.
"Hmph, trying to trick me? Dream on." Chu Yang grinned and made a provocative gesture to the people outside the barrier.
Jiang Wuyuan glanced over and found that the person was a Martial Emperor: "Ignore him, he can't get in."
Unless one has mastered the principles of space, most people can only break through such spatial barriers by brute force, just like Zhan Buhui.
However, this Martial Emperor does not yet have the strength to break through the barrier.
"Hmm, Xiao Yuan is right, no need to waste time with him." Zhan Bu Hui glanced at him and stopped caring, heading straight for the ice cave behind the barrier.
Yes, behind this barrier, which is so strong that only a master could break through, lies a dark cave that seems to have no bottom.
"This is really strange. This place isn't remote at all, so why does it look like it hasn't been explored yet?" Chu Yang stroked his chin in confusion.
“This barrier has a built-in repair function, which will erase any traces left by others.” Zhan Buhui took the lead and stepped into the ice cave. “Stay close to me and don’t get separated.”
