Once outside, everyone got to work and started building a snowman.
Xiao Meng rolled a small snowball, muttering to herself, "This is the snowman's head."
Wang Fan and Su Yalin then worked together to roll a large snowball, preparing to make the body of the snowman.
Hua Nianci, Qin Xiaoxuan, and the other two also joined in, laughing and helping out. Everyone was having a great time.
In no time, a chubby snowman was finished.
Xiao Meng clapped her hands and jumped around the snowman, exclaiming, "Great! Great! This is the cutest snowman I've ever seen!"
Everyone else was also all smiles, immersed in this joy.
Little Black ran happily in the snow, kicking up a flurry of snowflakes behind him.
Xiao Xuan tried her best to take steps with her short legs. Although she was not fast, she was full of enthusiasm.
After circling in the air once, the sand sculpture mother, along with her three baby sand sculptures, Sand Sculpture One, Sand Sculpture Two, and Sand Sculpture Three, landed steadily on the deck.
Xiao Meng and Su Yalin excitedly ran over and pulled them to see the snowman, constantly introducing it: "Look, this is the snowman we just built, isn't it beautiful?"
Little Black circled the snowman a few times, then looked up and let out a long howl.
Xiao Xuan craned his neck to look and seemed to be nodding.
The little sand sculptures flapped their wings and made cheerful noises.
Looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, Hua Nianci asked Wang Fan with a puzzled look, "Is this snow a little unusual?"
Wang Fan frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Hmm, something's definitely not right. This snow fell without warning, and it has a strange feel to it."
Su Yaqi stepped forward, her expression tense, and asked, "What should we do? Is there any danger?"
Wang Fan reassured them, "Don't be so nervous. No real danger has been found yet. Just be more careful in your daily lives."
Hearing this, everyone relaxed a little.
Xiao Meng and Su Yalin saw the group chatting and excitedly called out, "Stop just chatting! Everyone, come and join us!"
So, everyone temporarily put aside their worries and started playing and laughing in the snow again.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Xuan ran happily along, while the little sand sculptures swirled and danced in the air.
While everyone was having a great time, they were completely unaware of what was happening.
On a distant stretch of sea, a mysterious ice palace slowly emerged.
The palace emitted a faint blue light, cold and majestic.
A graceful siren was speaking to the person on the icy throne in a barely audible voice.
The figure on the throne was shrouded in mist and could not be clearly seen.
All that could be heard was the voice of the person on the throne: "Has it begun? How many people have arrived?"
The siren quickly bowed slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, we have only seen these so far, but there may be more hidden around."
The person on the throne remained silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Keep a close watch and there must be no mistakes."
The siren replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!" and then respectfully withdrew.
The person on the throne looked through the palace window in the direction of Wang Fan and his group, and muttered, "Hmph, they've finally come. This time, I'll make sure you don't leave alive."
Meanwhile, Wang Fan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He subconsciously looked in the direction of the mysterious palace, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
He always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching them from the shadows.
Moreover, that strange feeling grew stronger and stronger.
He muttered to himself, "Could it be that we've been targeted by some powerful creature?"
Qin Xiaoxuan noticed that Wang Fan looked off and asked with concern, "Wang Fan, what's wrong?"
Wang Fan forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it."
Qin Xiaoxuan became even more worried when she saw that Wang Fan wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't press him for details.
While the others were still having fun, Xiaomeng and Su Yalin were building their second snowman.
Little Blackie rolled around in the snow, Little Xuan climbed up a small snowdrift, and the sand sculpture family chirped happily in the air.
Seeing this, Wang Fan temporarily put aside his doubts and joined them with a smile.
Together with Xiaomeng, he put a carrot nose on the snowman, and together with Su Yalin, he put a straw hat on the snowman.
Seeing Wang Fan and everyone else looking so happy, Qin Xiaoxuan smiled too.
However, this heartwarming scene did not last long.
The surrounding temperature grew colder and colder, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
Wang Fan rubbed his hands, which were red from the cold, and said, "It's so cold, everyone, let's go back to the cabin."
As they walked toward the cabin, they discussed the sudden chill.
Xiao Meng hunched her neck and said, "It's so cold! It feels like I've fallen into an ice cave."
Su Yalin chimed in, "Yes, I've never experienced such cold weather before."
Hua Nianci rubbed her arms, her teeth chattering, and said, "This cold is eerily cold. Could it be some kind of monster causing trouble?"
Qin Xiaoxuan hugged herself tightly, her brows furrowed: "This cold doesn't seem to be naturally occurring. Could it be that we've triggered some taboo?"
Su Yaqi patted the snow off her clothes: "Could this be a disaster arranged by the system?"
Little Black whimpered, while Little Xuan tucked its head deeper into its shell.
The sand sculpture family, Sand One, Sand Two, and Sand Three, huddled together, their wings trembling slightly.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Wang Fan couldn't help but become curious as well.
It should be noted that people's physical condition is now more than ten times better than before, yet they are still suffering so much from this cold.
He thought to himself, "This chill is definitely not ordinary; there must be a huge secret hidden behind it."
Just then, a low roar came from the mysterious palace again, as if it were a show of defiance towards them.
At the same time, a large number of sea monsters poured out and surged in all directions.
These sea monsters come in various shapes and sizes, and they also carry all sorts of weapons.
Some wielded frost spears, while others gripped ice-shard greatswords; the weapons emanated a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
Others wielded ice staffs, the blue gems at their tips gleaming with a cold light, seemingly ready to unleash chilling magic at any moment.
Some of these sirens even sailed enormous ice ships, covered in sharp ice spikes, which would surely leave you riddled with holes if you were hit.
Even more so, some control giant beasts made of ice.
The giant beast roared, and its breath could instantly freeze everything around it.
Without exception, they all exuded a gloomy and cold aura.
If Wang Fan and the others saw this, they would definitely gasp in shock.
Compared to these, the siren we encountered last night was the weakest.
Back in their cabins, everyone turned on the heating and immediately felt much more comfortable.
Hua Nianci said, "It feels so good, finally it's warm."
Su Yalin chimed in, "Yeah, I was almost frozen solid just now."
Xiao Meng smiled and said, "I feel like I've come back to life. It's so warm here."
Qin Xiaoxuan asked worriedly, "Is there enough fuel? If not, it will be troublesome."
Wang Fan reassured him, "Don't worry, we had plenty of reserves beforehand, enough to last for a while."
