The creature actually knew how to use a false body to deceive enemies searching for it, and could even seize the chance to lay a deadly trap.
Although a trap like this had little effect on Li Yan, that was only because he was such a powerful cultivator. Besides, the creature had still achieved its goal.
Li Yan could deduce that the Polar Ice Heart had probably been inside this cave just now, or somewhere not far away.
This place provided the environment it needed to grow, which was why it had placed its false body nearby.
If it placed the false body too far away, someone approaching from another direction might find its true body directly, rendering the decoy useless.
Only by keeping the true and false bodies close together, and making the false body slightly more conspicuous, could it ensure that anyone searching this area would most likely discover the decoy.
Then, the moment they made a move, they would stumble into the trap. An attack like this could inflict considerable harm even on Spirit Transformation cultivators.
When such an immense expanse of extraordinary cold erupted at once, even Li Yan, who had withdrawn so swiftly, was still frozen into a huge lump of ice.
Only his formidable cultivation had kept him from suffering further harm. Any Spirit Transformation cultivator entering the cave without an extraordinary treasure to protect them might be frozen to death—even a Body Refinement cultivator!
Although Li Yan was unharmed, the Polar Ice Heart's true body had already seized the opportunity to flee!
Li Yan's expression was utterly foul. After searching here for so long, he had finally thought he had seen through the creature, only to be played for a fool.
His face darkened, and he abruptly clenched his hand.
Bang!
