Frozen Wasteland Bones

Far atop the mountain, the old woman stepped out once more. Her clouded eyes fixed on Fu Ya as she asked, "You're really that confident in the Saintess?"

Feeling the faint pressure, Fu Ya gave a bitter smile. "This is our only chance. Besides, that person is so powerful. There definitely won't be any problem."

Leaning on her cane, the old woman walked to the edge of the mountaintop. Her clouded eyes gazed at the towering tree before her as she said calmly, "Perhaps."

Strands of breeze lifted her silver-white hair. Her aged face seemed to become remarkably young in that instant, only to return to its elderly appearance moments later.

Inside the Inner World, pale gray dust and sand covered everything. Mournful ghostly wails echoed without end as white figures crawled up from the ground.

The dark-blue skeletons stared fixedly at everyone before them, then let out wild roars as they charged toward the vitality of the living.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi Xian frowned at the skeletons before her. With the Elf Saintess nearby, it was inconvenient for her to reveal her strength.

A white figure darted out from Xiao Yi Xian's sleeve. In the blink of an eye, an enormous creature appeared before everyone.

"Roar!"

Chi Han greeted the skeletons with an angry roar. Its wave-like voice swept up endless wind and sand, surging toward the skeletons.

"Crack!"

With just that single roar, every skeleton within a hundred meters fell apart. Chi Han looked disdainfully at the scene and snorted!

Yue Lin stared at the massive snake in astonishment. She had not expected this expert to possess a magical beast pet at the Dou Wang level.

She had seen the little snake before, but she had never seen it in such a huge form. Its white scales seemed to gleam with a special radiance.

Its enormous white wings seemed capable of blotting out the sky, making little stars sparkle in Yue Lin's eyes.

"Roar!"

Another roar rose from underground. The bones within a hundred meters miraculously gathered together again, and the dark-blue flames within them had become slightly deeper in color than before.

"Hmph!"

Chi Han gave a cold snort and swept its tail across all the skeletons, scattering loose bones everywhere.

"Roar!"

Another roar came from underground, and the white bones gathered together once more, even stronger than before.

The huge wings behind Chi Han lightly flapped, blowing the bones apart again.

Over and over...

No one knew how many times it happened. Chi Han was panting from exhaustion, having no idea how much battle qi it had consumed. Its forked tongue flicked constantly.

"This..."

Yue Lin stared at the massive figure collapsed on the ground. That mighty Mr. Snake had actually been exhausted to the point of collapse?

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi Xian's brows furrowed slightly. These bones seemed immortal and indestructible. They clearly had been scattered, yet they could gather again, growing stronger each time.

Even the aura of the hundred surrounding skeletons had reached the Da Dou Shi level. Every one of them was at least a Da Dou Shi expert.

"Roar!"

The skeletons let out a burst of roars at Chi Han, who lay exhausted on the ground, as though they were celebrating.

"Crack, crack!"

The skeletons steadily approached Xiao Yi Xian and the others step by step, the blue ghostfire in their sockets seemingly dancing.

Xiao Yi Xian did not know what to do as she watched the skeletons. Every time they were destroyed and revived, not only did they grow stronger, but their intelligence also seemed to increase.

It was far too strange!

Yue Lin hid behind Xiao Yi Xian. Those silver-white skeletons kept appearing in her mind, and only behind an expert did she feel safe.

Xiao Yi Xian did not know what to do either. Even Chi Han, a Dou Wang, could only scatter the bones rather than reduce them to ash...

They were simply invincible. Even if she charged in now, she might not be able to defeat them...

There were a hundred Da Dou Shi experts. Was she supposed to go over there and throw her life away?

She was not some true expert!

What should she do?

Just then, Xiao Ling'er grabbed Xiao Yi Xian's hand. The warm touch brought her back to her senses.

Xiao Yi Xian looked into those silver-white eyes. She could tell that Xiao Ling'er wanted to fight, as though she had some way to deal with them.

"Mm, go without worry. I'm here!"

Xiao Yi Xian rubbed Xiao Ling'er's white hair and spoke with a faint smile.

"Mm!"

Xiao Ling'er walked forward step by step. Yue Lin looked curiously at this child who had volunteered to fight. Why not let the expert take action when there was one?

Why waste time like this?

Even if it was to train the little girl, this was not the right situation for training, was it?

Looking at the scene before her, Yue Lin could only say that she did not understand!

Liu Yan watched Xiao Ling'er go out to face the enemy and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead...

"Little Ancestor?" Chi Han's vertical pupils stared at Xiao Ling'er as she walked past it. It was afraid. It did not want the Little Ancestor to get hurt.

Xiao Ling'er looked at the exhausted Chi Han and smiled faintly. In a reassuring tone, she said, "Don't worry. Leave it to me!"

Xiao Ling'er walked toward the skeletons step by step, advancing beneath the mocking ghostfire in their eye sockets...

Under the originally gray sky, pale white snow began to fall. Unique snowflakes ❄️ drifted down onto this land.

Xiao Ling'er's silver hair rose without wind. Her small arm lifted gently, and the skeletons before her instantly turned into ice sculptures.

White wind and snow swirled around Xiao Ling'er. Her silver-white eyes stared intently at the skeletons before her.

Snow falling from the sky landed upon the skeletons and froze them. Flying snow 🌨️ continuously swept across the battlefield, freezing countless skeletons into ice sculptures.

Behind her, Yue Lin stared in shock at that figure, like a queen of snow. Silver-white hair fluttered endlessly in her eyes.

Chi Han and Liu Yan were equally dumbfounded. They had never imagined that their Little Ancestor could be so formidable.

The snowflakes that landed on them melted upon contact, but those falling upon the skeletons turned into layer after layer of ice.

Xiao Yi Xian stretched out her hand. A snowflake landed in her palm and melted the instant it touched her. The icy sensation seemed to carve itself deep into her heart.

Looking at the figure amid the swirling snow, her eyes were filled entirely with that graceful silhouette.

She finally understood why Yao Chen had reacted so strongly back then. Such talent and strength truly were terrifying.

She was only six or seven years old, yet she was already a Dou Shi. The Ice Element she wielded was terrifying to the extreme.

Before those Da Dou Shi experts could react, falling snow covered them, turning them into transparent ice sculptures. Only the still-flickering deep-blue ghostfire proved that they remained alive.

A thin layer of snow covered everything within a hundred meters, with countless ice sculptures standing all around.

Xiao Ling'er gently lowered her arm. The snowflake ❄️ mark in her eyes flashed and vanished.

Xiao Yi Xian walked to Xiao Ling'er's side, held the weakened girl in her arms, and said with a smile, "That was amazing!"

Xiao Ling'er looked at the beautiful eyes beneath the shabby mask, smiled faintly, and fell unconscious.

Liu Yan and Chi Han's understanding of their Little Ancestor had been completely overturned. It turned out they had never truly understood their Little Ancestor!

They had never understood the silver-haired, crimson-eyed little girl before them...
