The group of people marched arduously for three more days on the dim and dark Antarctic ice sheet.

There are no clear road signs on the road ahead. There is only endless pure white and blue between the sky and the earth. The ice underfoot is rugged and slippery. From time to time, you have to beware of the attacks of ice monsters hidden under the ice cracks, and the Icefield Storm that may suddenly rise at any time.

In order to cope with the sudden crisis, no one dared to go all out, and always deliberately kept Magic Power. They did not dare to consume excessively, and walked with stops and stops along the way, walking heavily and cautiously.

Just when everyone was exhausted physically and mentally by the polar cold, a deafening roar suddenly came to their ears. The sound was not the roar of the storm, but the loud sound of the squeezing, shattering, and galloping ice bodies. It was like the roar of an ancient giant beast, echoing for a long time on the empty ice field, making people's eardrums numb.

Looking up, everyone finally arrived at the most dangerous place on this trip, Avalanche River.

The sight in front of him is enough to hold the breath of any strong man in the world. It is half a magnificent spectacle that shakes the earth and the earth, and half is a terrifying and deadly horror. The magnificence and danger are perfectly blended together.

This glacier is not as gentle as an ordinary river, but a long river of giant ice waterfalls pouring down from the top of towering ice peaks!

The entire river is more than a thousand feet wide, stretching between heaven and earth, with no end as far as the eye can see. The river water is not liquid water, but a mixture of half-frozen and half-flowing ice slurry. The clear blue ice is intertwined with the surging cold water, enveloping countless huge ice rocks., ice edges, rushing down with majestic momentum, the water flow hit the raised ice cliff, blasting up several feet high Ice Flower, broken ice splashed everywhere, each piece was as sharp as a knife, hitting the ice surface with a sharp and crisp sound.

Above the river, the cold air was so intense that it turned into a white mist visible to the naked eye, layer upon layer, covering the entire long river. From time to time, tiny ice-edge lightning flashed through the mist. It was a strange phenomenon caused by the collision between the extreme cold air and the water flow, which would cause injury if touched.

The ice walls on both sides are steep and straight, as if they have been chopped by a knife and an axe. The walls are covered with giant Ice Cone hanging upside down. The longest one is several feet long. They are extremely sharp and may fall at any time due to the vibration of the water flow.

And its real horror is far more than just visual shock.

This is the source of avalanches. The vibrations of the rushing river are always affecting the ice peaks on both sides. The slightest movement of wind or grass, or the magic power fluctuation caused by the approach of living beings, will trigger large-scale avalanches.

The sky full of ice and snow and giant ice rocks will pour down from the top of the mountain, completely blocking the river surface. Together with the torrent of ice slurry in the long river itself, it will form a devastating ice burial force. This is also the reason why it is named "Avalanche River".

The temperature of the river water is unimaginably low, far exceeding the ordinary polar cold. Even a top mage, if he accidentally falls into the river, will be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant, and he will not even have time to activate Magic Power.

There are also countless frozen ancient creatures and Ice Element Demon Beast lurking at the bottom of the river. They are dormant under the ice slurry. When they sense the breath of living creatures, they will break out of the ice and stay here to hunt all passers-by.

Standing in front of the Avalanche River, everyone can clearly feel a sense of suffocating oppression. The roar between heaven and earth, the biting cold power, and the murderous intention that may break out at any time, all tell the horror of this glacier. This is by no means an ordinary dangerous place, but a road of life and death Natural Chasm on the way to Emperor of the South Pole's residence.

The most fatal thing about this Avalanche River is that it is completely banned from flying, and there is absolutely no possibility of flying across it.

The entire glacier is haunted by an invisible but powerful pull of the ice soul. It is the natural restriction imposed by Emperor of the South Pole, and it is the original cold power of this glacier.

Whenever there is a living being trying to rise into the sky, even if it is Shaja like Sixteen-Winged Archangel, or Black Dragon Emperor like Emperor-level Demonic Beast, will be pulled tightly by this pulling force in an instant, as if their ankles are being dragged by countless pairs of cold ghost hands. The more they struggle, the stronger the pulling force will be, and they will be dragged directly into the rushing ice slurry, and will be crushed by the ice in an instant.

If you want to cross this river, it is impossible without some special abilities of Ice Element. Everyone stood on the edge of the river bank, feeling the coldness and the heavy pulling force coming towards their faces, their faces became a little solemn.

The Avalanche River in front of us is not only a magnificent spectacle that shakes the world, but also a life-and-death barrier that blocks the way forward. If you are not careful, you will be buried under the ice and sealed here forever, without even a chance of making a comeback.

"Lady Luo Ou, the next step is up to you." Shaja turned his eyes to Lady Luo Ou on the side of the crowd, his tone full of refusal.

Lady Luo Ou's face instantly darkened, looking extremely ugly. His brows were filled with reluctance and depression, and there was even a hint of unconcealable fear.

In fact, from the moment she received the call for Shaja, she did not want to set foot in Antarctica like Desperate Land.

She is one of the powerful people of the Victoria Clan. She possesses both Chaos and Ice Element forbidden spells. She has a rich net worth, a respected status, endless wealth and power, and her life is stable and smooth. Why bother to take a trip into the muddy waters of this extreme southern grave? If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

But Shaja came to the door in person, with a tough and serious attitude, leaving no room for negotiation.

Shaja put it bluntly, Avalanche River can only deal with it with her Ice Element original magic. If she refuses to take action and lead everyone through safely, there will be only a dead end.

On the one hand, a huge amount of soul power will be lost and it will take a long time to recover afterwards. On the other hand, he will die on the spot and all his power and wealth will be wiped out. It is the lesser of two evils. Even if Lady Luo Ou is unwilling, he can only grit his teeth and choose the former.

"I understand." Lady Luo Ou took a deep breath, suppressed the resistance and fear in his heart, walked slowly to the front of the river bank, raised his hand and took off the outer layer of the luxurious cloak, revealing the robe with Ice Veins embroidered on the inside. His eyes gradually became solemn and focused.

She closed her eyes and quickly formed complicated and obscure seals with her hands. The magic power of the forbidden spell surged crazily in her body, and a massive amount of soul power spurted out along her meridians, pouring all of it into the source of Ice Element magic.

There was no fancy start, but the surrounding air suddenly became stagnant, and even the galloping Avalanche River slowed down a bit.

"Thousands of streams return to silence, ice bridges build roads, and souls are frozen in ice!"

Lady Luo Ou opened his eyes suddenly, a glint of ice-blue light flashed in his eyes, and a low cry echoed across the river bank.

She raised her hand and pressed Avalanche River in the air, and a massive amount of Ice Element magic power poured into the river like a tide. The originally violently surging ice slurry gradually calmed down Vicious Qi under the control of her magic.

On the river, countless fine Ice Shards quickly condensed. Starting from the river bank, a blue and crystal clear ice bridge extended towards the other bank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This ice bridge is not made of ordinary ice. Instead, Lady Luo Ou uses his own soul power as a guide and combines it with Ice Element's forbidden spell to specifically restrain the pulling force of the Avalanche River's ice soul. It can firmly withstand the dragging force from below and is so stable that it will not move at all.

But even so, the danger of the Avalanche River has not dissipated. The ice peaks on both sides began to tremble due to magic fluctuations, and small ice slags continued to fall, with faint signs of avalanches.

Lady Luo Ou's face became increasingly pale, and the massive loss of soul power caused cold sweat to break out on her forehead. Her body swayed slightly, but she still gritted her teeth to maintain the ice bridge.

"Quick, cross the river quickly while the ice bridge is stable, don't stop!" Shaja immediately spoke in a deep voice, taking the lead to step onto the ice bridge, with the holy light protecting his body to resist the remaining cold air.

Chen Lang followed closely behind, the power of the thunder source lingering around him. While protecting the exhausted Lady Luo Ou, he was alert to the surrounding movements to prevent sudden avalanches and Demon Beast surprise attacks.

Not daring to delay, everyone walked quickly towards the other side along the narrow but stable ice bridge. The sound of their footsteps was drowned by the roar of the glacier, and the atmosphere was extremely tense...
