Its head is like a hill, its snout is thick and long, and the sharp teeth in its mouth are like ice edges hanging upside down, exuding a forest-white cold air.
Its limbs are like pillars holding up the sky, thick and powerful, and the tips of its claws scratch the ice, leaving deep ravines, and ice that will never melt instantly condenses on the edges of the gullies.
A long tail is like a huge ice-made bolas. It swings at will and easily sweeps away the ice hills blocking the road ahead.
Those eyes as big as wheels were pure ice white without a trace of color. There was no violence in them, only a coldness and indifference like looking down at ants.
The aura emanating from the whole body is like a moving extremely cold glacier. Wherever it passes, the moisture in the air condenses directly into ice crystal powder and falls down. The space around its body shows a slightly distorted frozen state.
Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast--Ice-Armored Giant Crocodile.
Extreme North is one of the overlords besides Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North.
It seemed to have no interest in the trembling little things at its feet. Its ice-white eyes just looked far away in the direction of the core battlefield. It was going to join the battle.
It moved with heavy steps, neither fast nor slow, but with unstoppable momentum, walking straight past the iceberg where Zhang Lexuan and Yin Chen were hiding.
The shadow brought by that huge body was like a curtain of death, briefly covering this small ice crevice.
The terrifying pressure was like real sea water, squeezing through the ice, causing the two people in the ice crevice to almost stop breathing.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Lexuan's palms, and Soul Power was silently circulating in his body, preparing for the worst.
Yin Chen is also tense all over, ready to launch Soul Skill at any time.
Fortunately, perhaps the aura left by the Soul Beast tide was too mixed, perhaps the ice crevice was well concealed, or perhaps all the Ice-Armored Giant Crocodile's attention was attracted to the main battlefield... Its cold gaze did not stay on the iceberg, and its huge body gradually moved away with footsteps that made the earth tremble.
It wasn't until the terrifying coercion completely disappeared from the range of perception that those Soul Beast who were shocked outside dared to cry out like they were surviving a disaster again. Chaos spread again, but the two people in the ice crevice still remained still, and Jiujiu made no move.
In the darkness, Yin Chen could clearly hear the long and gentle breath of relief from the woman in front of him.
Her tense body finally relaxed uncontrollably, and the soft touch at that moment made Yin Chen's heart beat involuntarily.
The crisis has been temporarily resolved, but the ambiguous and awkward silence in the ice crevice seems to have become stronger.
"Boom!"
The broken ice blocking the entrance to the ice crevice was shaken open by a flexible but strong palm force. Among the swirling ice powder, Zhang Lexuan hurriedly got out first. The cold air poured in, but it seemed that it could not immediately dissipate the unnatural heat on her face.
She didn't look back, she just turned her back to the ice seam and straightened her slightly messy robe, trying to calm down her fast heartbeat.
Yin Chen followed him out, looking at the back of Senior Sister who was pretending to be calm but could not conceal a hint of panic, he shook his head helplessly, with a faint bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The charming and awkward contact in the ice crevice just now was also a big shock to him.
During the rest of the journey, the atmosphere between the two became obviously dull.
Zhang Lexuan is still leading the way, but the pace seems faster than before, as if he wants to use distance to disperse some invisible ambiguity.
Yin Chen remained silent in a tacit understanding and just followed silently.
Fortunately, the passage of the 100,000-year Ice-Armored Giant Crocodile was like an emperor's patrol. Its terrifying pressure dispersed the Soul Beast within a large radius, and instead temporarily cleared a relatively safe area for them.
Zhang Lexuan found a depression in the leeward ice wall, and after confirming that there was no danger around him, he finally stopped.
She turned around, her eyes wandering a little, and finally she seemed to have made some kind of determination, and landed on Yin Chen. Her tone was calm, but if you listened carefully, you could taste a trace of unnoticeable tension:
"Turn around."
Yin Chen was slightly startled, a little confused, but when he saw Zhang Lexuan's cold eyes that had returned to normal, he obeyed and turned around, turning his back towards her.
"Take off your shirt."
Zhang Lexuan's voice sounded again, calmly, but it made Yin Chen's mouth twitch uncontrollably.
He subconsciously wanted to turn around to confirm whether Senior Sister was joking, but he finally held back. With a bit of weirdness in his heart, he unbuttoned his clothes and took off the student uniform that was stained with ice chips and dust.
Far North The cold wind came in instantly, touching the exposed skin and arousing a layer of fine goose bumps.
Yin Chen couldn't help but shudder, but his physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people, and Soul Power circulated on its own, so he wouldn't catch a cold.
However, when he took off his shirt and exposed his entire back in front of Zhang Lexuan, a very light, almost inaudible sound of inhalation came from behind him.
Yin Chen's back has smooth lines, the muscles are well-proportioned and strong, not exaggerated, but full of strength. The skin has a healthy color, like fine white jade.
But at this moment, on this "white jade", from the bottom of the shoulder blades to the waist, it is covered with a shocking large area of blue-purple.
The color was deep and the edges were irregular, as if it had been hit hard by a huge ice hammer, or soaked in extremely cold ink, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding intact skin.
Frostbite, and deep frostbite.
Zhang Lexuan's eyes were instantly fixed on the bruise. The blush that had appeared on his muscular upper body quickly faded away, and was replaced by a complicated and unspeakable emotion, including guilt, distress, and more of a sense of understanding.
She remembered that in the ice crevice, Yin Chen almost pressed his entire back against the cold and biting ice wall in order to avoid getting too close to her.
In order not to reveal any Soul Power fluctuations and attract the attention of the other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he did not even operate the most basic Soul Power body protection, let alone use his exquisite airflow manipulation to isolate the cold air.
Just like that, relying on his pure body, he withstood the extreme cold of ten thousand years of ice that could freeze the blood and corrode the bone marrow until the crisis was over.
"Sure enough, I got frostbite."
Zhang Lexuan's voice became deeper, with a hint of unnoticeable hoarseness.
Her eyes were slightly lowered, and her long eyelashes concealed the surging emotions in them.
Yin Chen himself didn't feel much. The nerves in the frostbite area were almost paralyzed by the cold air, and the pain was very weak.
He smiled nonchalantly and tried to lighten the mood:
"Senior Sister, I'm fine, I just look scary, just a little injured."
With that said, he picked up his clothes and put them on again.
