Mu Shuangshuang stood with her hands tucked in her pockets, staring blankly at the little white dragon.
"If your mother can't get in, does that mean your father can't get in either?"
"..."
The white dragon's expression stiffened, and he fell silent once again.
Indeed, there are places on this continent like the Dark Abyss, places that even those at the Tai Xu Realm must be extremely cautious about entering.
But such places are obviously very rare.
If Zhu Xuan is really willing to come, there is a great chance that he can enter the Ice Abyss and help Zhu Li rescue Shen Yunhao!
However, ever since Zhuli could remember, she had never asked her own father to do anything for her.
Even though she could gain the favor of the Vast Ocean Heart and was hailed as the only dragon descendant in nearly a thousand years who might inherit the Ancestral Dragon's legacy and the throne of the Dragon King, Zhu Xuan simply came over, smiled, gently patted her head, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye...
It perfectly captures the elusive nature of a dragon, appearing only briefly before disappearing without a trace.
"Now that things are at this point, what is there to be afraid of? If it weren't for my mother's special status, which makes it inconvenient for her to act, I would have already called her over to save people!"
Mu Shuangshuang's words finally made Zhu Li grit her teeth.
"Alright, for Yun Hao, I'm going all out this time!"
...
In a secluded corner of the icy cave, a girl shrouded in gray mist slowly opened her eyes, revealing a withered, grayish-white complexion.
At this moment, she raised her head and looked expressionlessly at the three figures slowly approaching from not far away.
The burly man at the head of the group wore heavy silver armor, but the armor was pitted and tattered, as if it had undergone some major baptism.
"Still alive? That's surprising..."
A deep, hoarse voice came from the girl's lips, seemingly tinging the surrounding air with a sense of desolation.
"You damned vine demon, you caused me to lose my natal magic weapon! I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!"
This was the voice of the woman on the left of the three, filled with resentment and gritted teeth.
At this moment, the burly man stepped forward, a large steel hammer appearing in his hand. His tone was deep and menacing as he said, "Vine Demon! This is a dead end. You have nowhere to escape. Why don't you obediently surrender?"
"escape?"
The woman opposite tilted her head, as if she had heard something extremely ridiculous. "If we were outside, you wouldn't know how many times I would have killed you... Besides, I haven't even found my stinky brother, so why should I run away?"
Stinky brother?
These words startled the three people opposite them, but they subconsciously assumed that the girl had other helpers, and their expressions suddenly became a little serious!
"Don't give her a chance to breathe, kill her together!"
At the command of the man in the middle, the three rushed forward!
Gray mist spread through the ice crystal cave like a thick veil. Mo Yan slowly rose and stood in the center of a patch of withered vines, her gray pupils reflecting the three approaching figures.
Her slender fingers seemed to tremble slightly, not from fear, but from the chill within her body that was eroding her internal organs.
"In the end... are they trying to force me..."
Mo Yan murmured softly, her voice as withered as a dead leaf.
"Playing tricks!" the woman shouted, her silver whip lashing out in a blinding arc of light as she lashed out!
Beneath the woman's blue Taoist robe, the jade pendant hanging from her waist was already reduced to half.
However, Mo Yan did not dodge the attack at all.
The silver whip lashed across his shoulder, tearing a gash, but not a drop of blood flowed out; instead, it was quickly covered by grayish-white frost crystals.
"This is... watch out! She's releasing her cold poison! We need to retreat!"
The burly man's expression changed drastically, and he slammed the iron hammer in his hand into the ground. A shockwave spread out, shattering the ground beneath the girl's feet.
The reason they dared to press forward was that Mo Yan had to expend half of her cultivation to suppress the spread of the cold poison, thus falling into an unprecedented state of weakness.
But at this moment, Mo Yan was clearly driven into a desperate situation. She no longer cared about the cold poison in her body and wanted to make a final desperate struggle!
Mo Yan leaped lightly into the air, her originally purple hair turning grayish-white in the gray mist, like a withered branch frozen to death.
A strange smile played on the girl's lips: "Too bad... it's too late..."
The pent-up cold energy within his body surged out like a burst dam, instantly condensing into tiny ice crystals in the surrounding air.
Mo Yan floated in mid-air with her arms outstretched, and countless thick, grayish-white wisteria vines broke through the soil, their surfaces covered with frost, surrounding the three of them.
"What is this thing?!"
The gaunt man's voice was filled with barely concealed fear as he quickly retreated, forming a hand seal that created a golden barrier in front of him.
"Impossible! She's already injured by the cold, how could she possibly unleash such a terrifying move!"
The woman in green turned pale and ran away without hesitation!
Mo Yan's ashen pupils locked onto the woman. With a flick of his finger, three of the thickest vines shot towards her like arrows, their speed astonishing.
"Weren't you going to settle scores with me? I'll satisfy you before I die..."
"Junior sister, be careful!"
The burly man swung his hammer to block, but the vines gently pushed him away, sending him flying dozens of meters away!
The vines flew forward swiftly, one wrapping around the woman's ankle, another piercing her shoulder, and the last one going straight through her chest.
"ah--"
The piercing screams stopped abruptly as soon as they began.
The woman's body shriveled up at a visible rate, grayish-white lines appeared on her skin, and she eventually turned into a desiccated corpse...
The speed was astonishing.
"Run!"
The burly man shouted, but when he turned around, he saw that the skinny man had already slipped away far away...
The man had no time to curse. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the iron hammer. The hammer immediately glowed red and then exploded with a "boom," temporarily forcing back the surrounding vines. The big man took the opportunity to fly away.
"Can you escape, my little cutie..."
However, just as Mo Yan was manipulating the vines to give chase, a sharp pain suddenly spread from her heart throughout her body.
The girl groaned and fell from mid-air. The wisteria vines lost control, withered, and broke off. The two men did not look back and disappeared into the depths of the cave.
"Cough cough..."
The girl curled up on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of grayish-white liquid.
"After living all these years, I only just realized that... I can feel cold too..."
A layer of light white frost slowly covered her body, and Mo Yan's consciousness began to blur, and the scene before her eyes became distorted.
"Brother...I can't find you...I'm so disappointed..."
"But don't be afraid... This time, I will never abandon you again..."
In the last moments before darkness fell, the girl seemed to see a familiar figure walking towards her through the gray fog.
...
Before the light screen, Shen Yunhao threw in the last few blue crystals, watched the runes glow one by one, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I've almost killed all the ice crystal behemoths here! I've finally collected three hundred!"
