Chapter 429: Desperate Icefield, Test of True Love
After Yun Yao and Chu Mochen had a quick rest, they headed towards the Arctic Icefield without stopping. Along the way, the cold wind howled, cutting their faces like a knife, and the two had to use their spiritual power to resist the cold. Looking around, all around was silver-white, and the vast ice and snow were endless, making it very easy to get lost.
"Chen, this ice field is more dangerous than we imagined. We must be careful." Yun Yao tightened her cloak and looked at Chu Mochen with a serious expression.
Chu Mochen nodded slightly and pulled Yun Yao to his side, trying to shield her from the wind and snow: "Don't worry, Yao'er, I'm by your side, and I won't let anything happen to you."
As they walked deeper into the ice field, the temperature became increasingly frighteningly low. The ice beneath their feet made a heart-pounding creaking sound from time to time, as if it would crack and swallow them up in the next moment. Suddenly, a blizzard came howling, covering the sky and the sun, and visibility dropped to zero in an instant. Yun Yao felt a strong force coming at her, and she and Chu Mochen were almost blown apart. She quickly reached out and grabbed the corner of Chu Mochen's clothes tightly.
"Chen, don't let go!" Yun Yao shouted loudly, but her voice was drowned out by the wind and snow.
Chu Mochen also tried his best, holding Yun Yao's hand, and his spiritual power surged, building a weak protective barrier beside him, barely resisting the invasion of the blizzard. After a long time, the blizzard finally stopped, but before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, the ice under their feet suddenly cracked, and a huge ice crack appeared in front of them.
Yun Yao was unable to react and her body fell rapidly. At the critical moment, Chu Mochen suddenly leaned forward and grabbed Yun Yao's wrist. He clenched his teeth, veins popped on his forehead, and he bore the weight of the two bodies. His arm was cut by the edge of the ice and bleeding.
"Yao'er, hold on to me!" Chu Mochen roared.
Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen's face which was distorted by the force, and her heart was filled with emotion and distress: "Chen, let go quickly, or you will fall too!"
"Never! I said I would protect you. Even if I die, I won't let you go." Chu Mochen's eyes were firm, without any hesitation.
Yun Yao had tears in her eyes. She knew Chu Mochen's temperament, so she stopped talking and used her spiritual power to try to find a point of force to reduce Chu Mochen's burden. Fortunately, there was a protruding ice ridge not far below. Yun Yao tapped her toes, took advantage of the force and jumped up, landing on the edge of the ice crack with Chu Mochen.
Before the two of them could catch their breath, a strange ice-blue light lit up from deep in the ice crack, and then a group of direwolves howled out. These direwolves were huge, exuding a cold aura, with bloodshot eyes, staring at Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
"Be careful, this is the overlord of the ice field, and it is extremely aggressive." Yun Yao drew his sword, and the sword body hummed, echoing with the breath of this icy land.
Chu Mochen also summoned his magic weapon and stood shoulder to shoulder with Yun Yao: "Yao'er, let's fight them today and see who is stronger, them or us!"
After that, the two took the initiative to face the wolf pack. Yun Yao's sword moves were agile, and every swing of the sword brought up a piece of ice flowers, and the cold air was overflowing, but the direwolf was agile, dodging left and right, avoiding her attacks, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. The battle on Chu Mochen's side was also fierce. His magic weapon shone brightly, and he knocked away the direwolves that pounced on him again and again, but there were too many wolves in the pack to kill them all.
During the fierce battle, a wolf king with the largest body size seized the opportunity and attacked Yun Yao from the flank. It was extremely fast and pounced in front of Yun Yao in the blink of an eye, opening its bloody mouth and biting Yun Yao's throat. Yun Yao could not dodge and could only block with her sword, but she was shocked by the huge power of the wolf king and retreated several steps, almost falling down.
"Yao'er!" Chu Mochen was so anxious that he rushed over desperately and smashed the magic weapon in his hand at the wolf king. The wolf king felt the pain, roared, and turned to pounce on Chu Mochen.
Yun Yao steadied herself, and seeing Chu Mochen in danger, she felt a surge of determination in her heart. She ignored her own spiritual power loss and forcibly used the system-rewarded trick "Ice Soul Lingguang". In an instant, the cold air around her body surged, and countless ice spikes shot at the wolf pack like sharp arrows. The ice wolves were caught off guard by this sudden and powerful attack, and most of them were killed or injured. The wolf king was also seriously injured and fled away whimpering.
But Yun Yao's face turned pale and her body was shaky due to the overdrawn spiritual power. Chu Mochen hurriedly supported her and continuously injected his own spiritual power into her body: "Yao'er, how are you? It's all my fault for not protecting you well."
Yun Yao smiled weakly: "Chen, don't blame you, we fought off the wolves together. I'm fine, I just consumed a lot of spiritual energy, I just need to rest for a while."
The two found a relatively safe ice cave and started a fire. Chu Mochen hugged Yun Yao in his arms with heartache, using his body temperature to keep her warm: "Yao'er, this ice field is full of dangers, and I don't know where the artifact is. I'm really worried that something will happen to you."
Yun Yao leaned in Chu Mochen's arms, feeling his care, and whispered: "Chen, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything. Although this journey is difficult, as long as we work together, we will definitely find the artifact and resolve the crisis of the sect."
After resting for a while, Yun Yao felt that her spiritual power had recovered a little, so she stood up and prepared to continue moving forward. Just after leaving the ice cave, she saw a strange light appear in the sky ahead, dazzling and dazzling, as if guiding something.
"Chen, look, could that light be related to the divine weapon?" A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Yao's eyes.
Chu Mochen followed her gaze and said solemnly, "It's possible. No matter what, let's go and take a look."
The two rushed towards the light, and the closer they got, the brighter the light became. When they got closer, they saw a huge iceberg standing in front of them, and the light was coming from inside the iceberg.
"Could the divine weapon be inside this iceberg?" Yun Yao murmured to herself.
Chu Mochen looked around the iceberg and found that the mountain wall was engraved with ancient runes. These runes exuded a mysterious power, preventing outsiders from approaching.
"It seems that it is not easy to enter. The power of this rune is quite tricky." Chu Mochen frowned.
Yun Yao walked forward and carefully observed the runes, trying to find a way to crack it from the system knowledge. After a long time, her eyes lit up: "Chen, I have a way. These runes need to be activated with a specific spiritual power frequency to open a channel."
After that, Yun Yao circulated her spiritual power and slowly injected it into the runes on the mountain wall at the frequency prompted by the system. As the spiritual power was injected, the runes glowed, and cracks spread from the mountain wall, eventually forming a narrow passage that could only accommodate one person.
"Chen, let's go in." Yun Yao stepped into the passage first, and Chu Mochen followed closely behind.
The passage was dark and damp, filled with a foul smell. The two walked forward cautiously, with ice cones falling from overhead or ice spikes sticking out from both sides. They would get hurt if they were not careful. At the end of the passage, there was a wide ice room. In the center of the room was a long sword emitting blue light. The blade was chilling. It was one of the artifacts they had been searching for - the Icefield Sword.
"Finally found it!" Yun Yao showed joy on her face and stepped forward to take the magic sword.
But at the moment her fingers touched the magic sword, the temperature in the ice room dropped sharply, and countless ice souls surged out of the surrounding ice walls, pouncing towards the two with bared fangs and claws.
"This is the Ice Soul that guards the artifact, be careful!" Chu Mochen reminded loudly, and he and Yun Yao stood back to back to resist the Ice Soul's attack together.
These ice souls were invisible and intangible, so ordinary attacks were difficult to work. Yun Yao's sword moves always passed through them, but could not cause any real damage. The same was true for Chu Mochen's magic weapon. For a while, the two of them were in a bitter battle.
"Yao'er, try using your purification technique. These ice souls may be afraid of the power of purification." Chu Mochen suddenly had an idea.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yao immediately performed the purification technique. A soft light gushed out from her palm. Wherever it went, the ice souls screamed and dissipated. Taking this opportunity, Yun Yao quickly stepped forward and grasped the Icefield Divine Sword. With the sword in hand, a powerful force surged into her body, and her spiritual power actually increased slightly.
"Chen, let's go!" Yun Yao shouted.
The two of them evacuated quickly along the path they came from. As soon as they got out of the iceberg, they saw the weather on the ice field changing color and a more violent blizzard was about to come.
"We can't stay here, we have to leave the ice field as soon as possible." Chu Mochen pulled Yun Yao, flew on the sword, and rushed towards the edge of the ice field.
The blizzard was chasing them closely, and the two of them fought their way through countless hardships and obstacles. Finally, when their spiritual power was about to run out, they broke out of the Arctic ice field. Looking back, the ice and snow still exuded endless coldness, but their hearts were filled with the relief of surviving the disaster and the joy of finding the artifact.
"Yao'er, next, we will head to the South China Sea Abyss to look for the second artifact." Chu Mochen looked into the distance with a firm gaze.
Yun Yao clenched the Icefield Divine Sword in her hand and nodded, "Okay, no matter what the road ahead is, we will face it together."
At this moment, their figures are stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if telling the truth and courage in this desperate situation on the ice field, and also indicating that the future journey will still be full of challenges, but they are not afraid and move forward hand in hand towards the unknown.
