In the center of the Ice Crystal Forest, Shen Yunhao crouched behind a thick crystal pillar, the runes on his palm glowing faintly, completely concealing his and Mo Yan's auras.
About fifty meters ahead, two enormous crystal beasts were gnawing on blue crystal clusters growing on the ground, their serrated ice teeth rubbing against the crystal clusters, making a teeth-grinding sound.
"The road is blocked; it seems we have to take care of these two!"
Shen Yunhao's expression was extremely solemn.
Because the two crystal beasts in front of them were clearly at the Void Soul Realm.
Even dealing with one enemy is risky for two people, let alone two at the same time...
"And we have to finish this quickly! We're currently in the very center of the Nest of Frost Marrow. If the noise of the fight attracts other crystal beasts, we'll be in big trouble!"
Mo Yan also unusually put away her sarcasm, and her tone became very serious.
"Then we'll just have to test how powerful the immobilization spell is!"
Shen Yunhao clenched his fist and sensed for a moment.
"The one on the left has a weak point in the bend of its left leg, while the one on the right has a weak point in its eye!"
"Your skills are truly supermodel-level!"
Seeing that Shen Yunhao easily pointed out the weaknesses of the two giant beasts, Mo Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Crystal beasts cannot use magic. Although they are no weaker than cultivators of the same level in close combat, they are still somewhat inferior overall.
Moreover, their mobility is far inferior to that of cultivators, and they cannot fly if they do not have wings.
In this way, as long as the weaknesses of the crystal beasts are known, Mo Yan alone has a good chance of killing a high-level crystal beast.
The reason why it was necessary to use a freezing spell to control it was mainly because Shen Yunhao had previously encountered crystal beasts with relatively high intelligence. These beasts not only deliberately protected their weaknesses but also assessed the situation.
For example, the ice crystal python and the ice crystal giant tiger that we encountered for the first time were both like this.
However, not all crystal beasts possess such high intelligence, and their intelligence is not actually directly related to their combat power.
Since it's uncertain whether these two crystal beasts will blindly charge in when faced with a surprise attack or protect their weaknesses, using a stun spell to control them is the safest option!
"Remember to time it right. Stop when I'm a certain distance away. If I stop too early, I might not be able to hit you, and if I stop too late, I'll be in a lot of trouble..."
Mo Yan made a gesture, and purple-black demonic vines were already wrapped around her fingertips.
"..."
Shen Yunhao coughed twice, "I know, I know. With my years of experience in controlling my actions, I'll definitely take care of it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Yan transformed into vines and shot out!
The Void Soul Realm crystal beasts have extremely strong perception. The moment Mo Yan broke free from the protection of the rune domain, the two crystal beasts raised their heads at the same time!
"roar!"
One of them let out a low, angry roar, turned its massive body around, and charged towards Mo Yan.
But the other one on the left seemed to be a beat behind, standing still in place.
"not good……"
Shen Yunhao's expression immediately turned ugly.
When he casts a spell to freeze someone, he will unleash a golden ball of light.
Only a direct hit from the golden light ball can immobilize the beasts... If the two crystal beasts are too far apart, the golden light ball's range will only be enough for one of them, which would be disastrous!
Because the immobilization spell has a cooldown period, it cannot be used twice in a short period of time!
"Never mind! I'll just order one first!"
Just as Mo Yan and the crystal beast on the right were about to make contact, a golden light shot out like lightning. The crystal beast's weak point in its eye was halfway formed by a layer of crystal resembling a diving mask when its body suddenly froze.
Almost at the same moment, a wisteria vine pierced through and struck his right eye.
In about 0.5 seconds, the crystal beast regained its freedom, but its core was broken, and its huge body stiffened for a moment before shattering into a pile of ice crystals.
The other one seemed to only realize what was happening at this moment, and roared as it charged towards Mo Yan!
"Run! Don't fight them head-on..."
Shen Yunhao was speaking when the second half of his sentence caught in his throat.
Suddenly, three wisteria vines broke through the ice beneath the giant beast's feet and pierced precisely into the back of its left leg.
The second one turned out to be a silly goose that didn't know how to protect its weaknesses...
Shen Yunhao breathed a heavy sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "As expected of a crystal beast in the Void Soul Realm, its resistance is indeed stronger!"
Based on his observation, the immobilization spell only lasts for about half a second on these crystal beasts, but fortunately it can be controlled, and half a second is still a divine skill!
The crystal beast shattered, scattering blue crystal cores across the ground.
Mo Yan retracted the vines and tossed the two deep blue crystal cores to Shen Yunhao, "Luckily, there was an idiot to cover for us, otherwise we would have been done for..."
However, before Shen Yunhao could respond, the ground suddenly shook violently! A deafening roar came from afar, followed by the crisp sound of ice crystals shattering in large areas.
Shen Yunhao's expression changed drastically. "Oh no! Could it be that the commotion just now attracted other crystal beasts?"
The girl immediately returned to Shen Yunhao's side, frowning as she said, "It doesn't seem like... This doesn't sound like the roar of these Void Soul Realm Crystal Beasts!"
You mean?
The two exchanged a glance, quickly leaped to the top of the nearest giant crystal pillar, and then froze simultaneously.
The scene before me was breathtaking!
Two gigantic blue shadows, each as large as a mountain, were rapidly approaching from the north and southeast, raising clouds of dust in their wake!
Shen Yunhao was completely dumbfounded, "Holy crap! Crystal... Crystal King Beast!"
The crystal beast in the northwest is like a giant scorpion, its entire body is crystal clear, but its tail hook is as black as ink!
The one in the southeast resembles a saber-toothed tiger, with three spiral-shaped crystalline horns on its forehead.
Wherever the two enormous creatures passed, swathes of crystal trees collapsed, and terrifying shockwaves of cold air froze and pulverized everything in their path!
"Damn it! Could the person we just killed have been their son?"
Mo Yan grabbed him by the back of his collar: "What are you standing there for? Run!"
As soon as the two left the treetop, a cross-shaped shockwave pulverized the crystal tree into dust.
As Shen Yunhao ran, he looked back and saw that the two king beasts were already tearing each other apart. The scorpion tail and the ice horn collided, creating a dazzling blue light, and shockwaves spread out in circles.
"Holy crap, they're fighting! I know! We just killed the diplomatic envoy!" Shen Yunhao shouted wildly!
"..." Mo Yan's lips twitched, and she asked, "Where to now!"
The original central route had become a death zone, and they had to take a detour if they wanted to get through.
"Head northwest! Since they're no longer in their lair, let's go through it. There shouldn't be any other crystal beasts daring to stay in their lair!"
Thinking about it this way, this is the only route they have left! The lair of the Scorpion Crystal King Beast on the northwest side!
The battle of the king beasts had an extremely wide impact. Along the way, Shen Yunhao also saw many other crystal beasts that had been frightened and fled. Even without Shen Yunhao concealing his aura, no crystal beasts came to cause trouble for them!
After a while, the two rushed into a small ice valley at top speed. The entrance to the valley was narrow, but once inside, it was a completely different world.
"Wait! This is..."
At this moment, Shen Yunhao suddenly noticed that the runes on his palm were lighting up uncontrollably, emitting a strange blue light!
"There's something here!"
