His gaze swept around the area before suddenly settling on the shadows at the foot of an iceberg to his left.
It looked no different from its surroundings, but Wang Fan inexplicably felt a sense of unease.
Wang Fan pointed in that direction and whispered to Su Yalin, "Yalin, shoot a few arrows at the shadows at the foot of that iceberg, with all your might."
Su Yalin didn't ask any more questions and immediately focused her attention on the target.
She took a deep breath, nocked three arrows in quick succession, and the three ice arrows shot towards the shadows like meteors with a sharp whistling sound.
With three loud "bangs," the ice arrows struck the shadowy area, sending up large shards of ice.
After the ice chips fell, there was still no unusual activity in that area, and no signs of danger were found.
Wang Fan's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he called out to everyone, "It seems there is no danger. Perhaps that feeling of being watched was just an illusion. Let's continue searching for our target."
"yes!"
The group responded and continued on their way.
Behind another iceberg not far from Wang Fan and the others, a figure slowly appeared.
He looked in the direction Wang Fan and the others had gone and muttered to himself, "We almost got discovered. These little rats are quite alert."
The voice was deep and cold, like a chilling wind seeping from a crack in the ice.
With a slight movement, the icy mist surged and followed him silently, like a ghost.
As he followed, he pondered to himself, "These humans seem to carry some kind of special aura, and the weapons they wield..."
Thinking of this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
And so he followed them all the way, and found that as time went on, Wang Fan and the others gradually relaxed their tense nerves and became less vigilant.
They started chatting and laughing, and their vigilance noticeably decreased.
The figure was overjoyed, feeling the time was right, and decided to choose one person to launch a sneak attack in order to test the strength of the others.
His gaze swept across the crowd and finally settled on Xiao Meng, who was lagging behind at the end of the line.
Because Xiaomeng's shield is too heavy, it has always been kept in the system inventory.
From the figure's perspective, Xiao Meng was undoubtedly the weakest among them.
Caught off guard and outnumbered, they were the perfect targets for a sneak attack.
The figure's lips curled slightly upward, and the surrounding ice mist instantly condensed, forming a sharp ice blade.
He charged toward Xiaomeng like a black lightning bolt.
The speed was so fast that it left a shallow groove on the ice.
Just as the mysterious man was about to approach Xiaomeng at the critical moment, Xiaomeng instantly felt a murderous intent coming at her.
Almost instinctively, she took out the huge dragon scale shield from her system inventory and held it up in front of her.
With a loud "bang," the mysterious man's ice blade slammed into the dragon scale shield.
The dragon scale shield emitted a faint blue light, successfully blocking the fierce attack.
The mysterious man was taken aback, having originally thought he could succeed easily.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly weakest little girl was able to instantly produce such a powerful defensive shield.
At the same time, Wang Fan, who had been keeping a close eye on the surroundings, also sensed this intense killing intent.
He shouted, "Everyone be careful!"
At the same time, he leaped towards the mysterious man without hesitation.
Everyone was startled awake by Wang Fan's shout and turned around.
Su Yalin reacted quickly, immediately drawing her bow and shooting an arrow at the mysterious man.
The ice arrow, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, aimed straight for the mysterious man's vitals.
Qin Xiaoxuan, Hua Nianci, Su Yaqi, and others quickly drew their weapons and rushed towards the mysterious man.
The mysterious man came to his senses and was surprised that his sneak attack had not only failed but had also landed him in this predicament.
At this point, he was ready to act.
He dodged the ice arrow shot by Su Yalin with a swift movement, and then thrust the ice blade in his hand at Xiao Meng again.
At the critical moment, Wang Fan arrived.
He suddenly produced a red-glowing halberd in his hand and thrust it in front of Xiao Meng, colliding with the mysterious man's ice blade.
With a loud clang, the ice blade and the halberd collided, creating dazzling sparks.
The mysterious man felt a powerful force emanating from the halberd, which made his arm go numb.
He was secretly shocked: "This person actually has such strength!"
Before he could think any further, Qin Xiaoxuan and the others had already arrived and surrounded him.
At this moment, Xiao Meng stepped out from behind Wang Fan, a smug smile on her face, and said, "What? You thought I was the weakest and easiest to bully? Hmph, you've misjudged me!"
The mysterious man frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He really didn't expect this seemingly delicate little girl to be like this.
He seemed like a completely different person at that moment, his words filled with confidence and provocation.
Xiao Meng brandished the dragon scale shield in her hand and continued, "You cowardly coward, daring to ambush me! Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
After saying that, she rushed towards the mysterious man first, raised the dragon scale shield in her hand high, and slammed it down hard on the mysterious man.
The mysterious man sneered, raising his ice blade to meet the dragon scale shield.
With a loud "boom," the powerful impact spread outwards from the two people, instantly causing cracks to appear on the surrounding ice surface.
The mysterious man curled his lips into a disdainful smile. "Is that all you've got? You dare to attack me?"
With that, he exerted his strength, and a surge of powerful ice energy erupted from the ice blade, causing Xiao Meng to stagger back several steps.
Xiao Meng gritted her teeth, trying to steady herself, her eyes filled with resentment.
The mysterious man seized the opportunity, his ice blade flashing with a chilling light as he attacked Xiao Meng.
At this critical moment, the other women joined the battle.
Qin Xiaoxuan let out a delicate shout, and with a few flourishes of her Xuanbing Dragon Shadow Sword, she thrust it straight at the mysterious man's throat.
Hua Nianci was not to be outdone; her Ice Dragon Blade, carrying a chilling aura, slashed at the mysterious man's arm from the side.
Su Yaqi seized the opportunity and rushed towards the mysterious man like a black phantom.
He thrust the Dragon Fang Dagger in his hand toward his vital back, attempting to deliver a fatal blow.
Su Yalin stood a little distance away, her Ice Dragon Sky-Piercing Bow fully drawn.
Several ice arrows shot towards the mysterious man like lightning, blocking his possible escape routes.
Faced with the barrage of attacks from the women, the mysterious man's expression changed slightly.
He understood that the attacks from these people were not to be underestimated, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.
He suddenly twisted his body, moving with ghostly speed, and dodged the ice arrow shot by Su Yalin in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the ice blade in his hand, emitting a faint glow, danced rapidly, instantly forming an ice-blue light screen in front of him.
"Clang clang clang!" A series of crisp collision sounds rang out.
He deflected Qin Xiaoxuan's sword, Hua Nianci's knife, Su Yaqi's Dragon Fang dagger, and other attacks.
Although the mysterious man successfully blocked this round of attacks, he no longer had time to attack Xiao Meng.
Before he could even catch his breath, the women had already moved quickly and surrounded him tightly.
