It was night, the moon and stars were sparse.
It's Ling Luochеn and Xi Xi's turn to watch the first half of the night.
The two sat by the fire outside the camp and talked softly.
At midnight, Xi Xi suddenly covered his lower abdomen, turned slightly red, and whispered, "Luo Chen, I... I'll go to the side for a while and I'll be back soon."
Ling Luochеn nodded. "Be careful and don't go too far."
Xi Xi quickly got into the bushes not far away.
The campground became quiet except for the occasional crackle of the fire.
Ling Luochеn sat quietly, looking at the dancing flames with his ice-blue eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye, and there seemed to be an extremely weak, ice-blue light flashing away deep in the dense forest about a hundred meters away from the side of the camp.
That light carried a pure icy aura, faintly resonating with her own Martial Soul.
"Ice attribute treasure?" Ling Luochеn's heart moved. She has the Ultimate Ice attribute, and is very sensitive to this kind of aura of the same origin.
Thinking of the preciousness of ice-attribute resources, she hesitated for a moment and looked in the direction Xi Xi left. There was a slight rustling sound from there, but the person hadn't come back yet.
"It's only a thousand meters away, and with my speed, I'll be back in an instant. It shouldn't be a problem." Ling Luochеn thought for a moment, stood up, and moved lightly and silently in the direction of the flashing ice blue light.
Not long after she left, the curtain of the tent where Lin Ciyan was was gently opened.
He had just woken up, and just now he seemed to have caught a very subtle energy fluctuation and the sound of slight footsteps.
Confused, he stood up and walked out of the tent, just in time to see Ling Luochеn's ice blue skirt disappear into the forest on the side.
"It's so late, where are Luo Chen going?"
"Alone?" Lin Ciyan frowned slightly, Star Dou Great Forest's night was never safe.
He pondered for a moment and followed silently.
Ling Luochеn soon arrived at the place where the light was shining.
Here is a slightly open forest land, with a strange-looking plant growing in the center.
It is about a person tall, with a translucent blue trunk, like an ice crystal carving, and three bowl-sized flowers blooming on the top.
The flowers are slowly opening and closing, and each time they open and close, they will emit the ice-blue shimmer that I saw before.
At the same time, it releases a cold breath and a very light, strange fragrance that can soothe the spirit.
"This is... Ice Crystal Ghost Epiphyllum?" Ling Luochеn has a lot of knowledge and recognized that this is a rare plant Soul Beast. It usually grows in places with strong ice attributes. It emits light and fragrance to attract ice attribute creatures to come closer, and then...
She felt a chill in her heart and immediately became vigilant.
But it's too late!
Just when she got within ten meters, the main trunk of the "Ice Crystal Ghost Epiphyllum" suddenly cracked open, and seven or eight vines like ice-blue poisonous snakes shot out like lightning!
These vines were extremely tough, had sharp tips, and carried biting cold and paralyzing toxins, instantly sealing off all her dodge space!
At the same time, the ground shook slightly, and several thick ice-blue roots broke out of the ground and wrapped around her ankles!
Trap! This is no ordinary Ice Crystal Ghost Epiphyllum at all!
It is a Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Crystal Demon Epiphyllum that is at least ten thousand years old and has a strong sense of hunting!
Ling Luochеn reacts extremely quickly, Martial Soul is released instantly, and the ice staff is in hand.
The second and third Soul Ring lit up, ice armor covering her whole body, and a ring of ice spread around her, trying to freeze the vines.
However, the cultivation of this Demon Epiphyllum far exceeded her imagination!
The ice ring only slows down the vines slightly and cannot be frozen at all.
The sharp vine tips easily pierced her defense, and the poison invaded instantly!
"Ugh!" Ling Luochеn groaned, feeling his body go numb, and Soul Power's operation suddenly became stagnant.
More vines Entanglement came up, tied her limbs and waist tightly, and dragged her towards the fragrant flower heart that was now open like a piranha!
Deep in the heart of the flower are densely packed ice spikes that sparkle with cold light!
Coldness, numbness, and despair instantly overwhelmed her.
She struggled desperately to release Soul Skill, but the poison affected her performance, and the vines tightened tighter and tighter, strangling her until she almost suffocated.
The color on her cold and pretty face faded, and in her always calm ice-blue eyes, panic and helplessness finally emerged uncontrollably.
Are you... going to die here?
Just before her consciousness began to blur due to paralysis and suffocation, and she was about to be dragged into the heart of flowers--
A warm, bright white light that seems to be able to dispel all darkness and coldness.
Like the dawn, it lit up before her eyes without any warning!
"Dawn Break Fist!"
A low voice sounded, not a roar, but with a decisive and penetrating power.
A fist seal that was condensed to the extreme, as if compressed by the first ray of dawn, came last and arrived first.
It hit the connection between the main vines that were the tightest around Ling Luochеn with incomparable precision!
Click!
The sound of ice crystals breaking was heard.
The extremely tough vines are under this fist mark that contains Ultimate Light and penetrating properties.
It breaks like a fragile crystal!
Immediately afterwards, the soft and vast white Light Domain spread out.
The domain carried an auspicious and purifying aura, instantly covering the surrounding area.
Those wildly dancing roots seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. Their movements suddenly froze, and the luster on the surface almost disappeared.
The figure of Lin Ciyan appeared next to Ling Luochеn. His eyes were sharp and his movements were as fast as lightning.
The sharp golden light was spitting out from the fingertips, turning into a hand knife. With a few brushes, all the vines of Entanglement Ling Luochеn were cut off!
The other hand hugged Ling Luochеn's slender and soft waist, and the tentacles were cold and smooth.
He used all his strength to completely rescue her from Demon Epiphyllum's death Entanglement and took a few steps back.
"Five Elements Rotation! Qilin Divine Light--Yan!"
While retreating, the fourth Soul Ring's black light emitted from Lin Ciyan's body, instantly switching to the dominance of the fire attribute.
An extremely hot, colorful divine light spurted out from his palm.
It condenses like a sword and shoots accurately at the core of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Crystal Demon Epiphyllum - the center of the flower!
Seven-Colored Divine Light carries terrifying high temperature and energy penetration properties, and the air is distorted wherever it passes.
The ice crystal Demon Epiphyllum screamed silently and resisted frantically, but in front of Seven-Colored Divine Light, which had attribute restraint and level suppression, its defense was like paper.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Three ice-blue flowers were pierced and ignited one after another, and were instantly blackened and withered!
The whole flower trembled violently, the light on the main stem quickly dimmed, the vines hung down weakly, and their vitality quickly disappeared.
In just a few breaths, the crisis was over.
Lin Ciyan dispersed Soul Power, looking down at the frightened girl in his arms.
Ling Luochеn collapsed in his arms, the ice armor already broken.
The girl's close-fitting clothes were strangled to pieces, revealing some of her fair skin and thrilling curves.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her lips trembled slightly.
His eyes, which were usually as cold as ice lakes, were now filled with tears of fear, sliding silently down his smooth cheeks.
The cold disguise was completely shattered, leaving only a fragile and real girl who had just had a brush with death.
Her body was still trembling slightly, and she subconsciously clutched the placket of Lin Ciyan's chest tightly, as if it was the only life-saving straw.
The cold little hands sent a reassuring touch through the fabric of the clothes.
"No... it's okay." Lin Ciyan softened his voice with a soothing tone.
He carefully released his hand around her waist to allow her to stand firm on her own, but Ling Luochеn's legs went weak and she almost fell down again, so Lin Ciyan had to continue to hold her arm.
"Why... why did you come here alone?" Lin Ciyan asked, his tone not reproachful, just concerned.
Ling Luochеn sobbed, with a trembling voice, and explained intermittently, "I... I saw the ice blue light, and thought... it was... I didn't expect it to be a trap..."
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, and she cried while speaking... lowering her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and her cold image disappeared.
Lin Ciyan was stunned for a moment and felt helpless.
He sighed and used Soul Power to pull out an ice blue crystal.
He pinched the crystal and placed it in front of the woman who was still crying softly.
"Luo Chen, given to you."
Hearing the sound, she raised her tearful eyes and looked in front of her.
There was a crystal in front of him that was emitting a shimmering light.
A fist-sized, crystal clear ice-blue crystal exuding pure cold air seemed to illuminate everything in her eyes at this moment.
Seeing the girl raise her head, Lin Ciyan gently placed the piece of Ice Soul Crystal Heart, which was still cool, into Ling Luochеn's cold hands.
"Next time, don't take risks alone. Tell me what you want..." His voice was gentle.
The cold touch from his palm and his words made Ling Luochеn's delicate body tremble slightly.
She looked at Lin Ciyan--
The moonlight and the remaining Soul Power glimmer illuminated his clear and handsome profile.
Those eyes that always had a lazy smile were now filled with concern and a reassuring calmness.
The glorious figure that saved her from despair just now was like the arrival of a god.
Overlapping with the young man in front of me who gently handed over the crystal and comforted him softly.
An unprecedented, sour and hot emotion, like ice-breaking spring water, suddenly broke down the cold defenses she had built up in her heart over the years.
The cold outer shell melts completely, revealing the soft heart inside.
She clenched the cold crystal in her hand, but felt that her cheeks and heart were burning hot.
"Thank... thank you, Ci Yan, can I call you Ci Yan?"
For the first time, she called him without his first name, her voice was soft and soft, with a hint of imperceptible dependence and shyness.
The icy blue eyes, like melted snow, cast a gleaming, moving light, clearly reflecting the figure of Lin Ciyan.
"Of course, it's just a title..."
