After two and a half months of wind and snow, the icefields of the Far North looked even more desolate and boundless.
Outside the ice cave where Qian Daoliu lived, snow had piled over three meters high. The bitter wind swept sharp grains of ice against the cave walls with a soft rustling, yet a pale golden barrier inside completely shut it out. This was the energy shield emitted by the Chaos Bell.
