"Damned old man, you're like a ghost that won't go away. Wherever you go, you're really a dog!"
After closing his eyes to catch his breath, Wang Yan cursed and opened his eyes to look around.
If not for Shi You's earlier words, Wang Yan would never have thought that the unknown mystic realm that Liu Chen had discovered was actually one of the Eastern Region's Eight Great Ominous Lands, the Extreme Cold Ice Cave!
If he had known earlier, he would never have agreed to explore this mystic realm with Liu Chen.
After all, this was one of the Eight Great Ominous Lands, full of unknown dangers.
After looking around, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Inside the Extreme Cold Ice Cave, one's Soul could not be released, so one could only see with the naked eye.
But even with his eyesight, he could only see five feet in front of him. He couldn't see anything further than that.
"Could this be an underground cave?"
Wang Yan's thoughts moved and he slowly moved forward.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Wang Yan had a general understanding of the layout of the Extreme Cold Ice Cave.
This was a complex underground cave. The deeper one went, the stronger the cold air became.
There was no fixed passage, and if one wasn't careful, they would enter another path. It was winding and extremely complicated.
The most terrible thing was the pervasive and penetrating cold air, as if it was a cold wind from the Nine Nether Realms that was pressing for one's life.
Even with Wang Yan's vast Spiritual Energy, he found it somewhat unbearable. This pervasive cold Qi invaded his entire body, making him feel a chill.
Wang Yan couldn't help but worry about Wang Xian 'er and the others. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was Liu Chen, who had reached the peak of the Star Forging Realm.
And Liu Chen's true strength could only contend with cultivators below the 3rd level of the Star Forging Realm.
In this Extreme Cold Ice Cave, would she be able to protect Wang Xian 'er and the others?
Drip!
In the quiet ice cave, the sound of a drop of water falling to the ground suddenly rang out, causing Wang Yan's expression to tense up.
After all, this was one of the Eight Great Ominous Lands. Anything could happen.
Drip!
The voice rang out again. Wang Yan followed the sound and was slightly startled.
The scene that appeared in front of him was a deep blue wall of ice, and crystal clear ice water constantly seeped through the ice above his head.
This phenomenon lasted for an unknown number of years, and actually formed countless ice puddles of various sizes on the ground.
Wang Yan arrived in front of a pool of ice and extended a finger into it. He couldn't help but shudder and quickly retract his finger.
The icy water here was extremely cold. If he hadn't pulled his hand back in time, his fingers would have been frozen solid in an instant.
"What a terrifying chill!"
Wang Yan carefully avoided the ice puddle and walked forward as if he was walking on thin ice.
Because if one were to accidentally step into the ice puddle, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After walking forward for about half a cup of tea's time, Wang Yan finally found a corpse.
As Wang Yan looked at the crystalline corpse before him that looked like it was made of ice, he became even more cautious.
The Arctic Ice Cave was one of the Eight Great Ominous Lands of the Eastern State. It must have attracted countless explorers.
If one was lucky enough to survive, they would obtain a great opportunity and soar into the sky.
But if one was careless and died in the Arctic Ice Cave, not even one's body would be able to rest in peace.
Just as Wang Yan carefully walked around the corpse and was about to feel his way forward, he was suddenly startled and held his breath.
Sha sha sha …
A rhythmic sound rang out. It sounded like an extremely tired person was dragging his heavy footsteps and walking slowly.
"Could it be Xian 'er and the rest?"
At this point, Wang Yan focused his vision to look at the source of the sound, and his pupils constricted to the size of a needle!
What appeared in Wang Yan's sight was not a person, but a crystal-clear wolf-shaped monster that looked like it was carved out of ice.
With every step the wolf-shaped monster took, it would leave behind a footprint of ice flowers on the ground. Its entire body was radiating a startling chill.
It was the size of a normal wolf, but it had no fur and was completely bald.
From afar, it looked like a crystal beast, magnificent and eerie.
From the aura of the wolf-shaped monster, Wang Yan guessed that it should be a rank three to rank five Spirit Beast.
"Merciful Palm!"
Seeing that the Frost Wolf was about to reach him, Wang Yan did not hesitate anymore and slammed his palm.
A palm formed by astral power appeared in mid-air and slammed down on the Frost Wolf.
Bang!
The astral palm smashed the Frost Wolf into pieces, turning it into a pile of ice.
"So weak?"
Wang Yan did not expect this. Although it was only a rank three Spirit Beast, it should not be this weak.
Wang Yan's Dantian was already empty, and what he had just performed was not an Earth Level Martial Skill, but an Advanced Mystic Level Martial Skill.
With the astral power depleted, the power of the Merciful Palm was less than one-tenth of its peak.
Even a rank three Spirit Beast would not be smashed into pieces. At most, it would be severely injured and on the verge of death.
However, just as Wang Yan was lost in his thoughts, a shocking and eerie scene appeared in front of him.
The shattered ice shards on the ground slowly gathered together at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Within a few breaths, a brand-new Frost Wolf appeared in front of Wang Yan!
Howl …!
The Frost Wolf raised its hideous head and let out an ear-piercing howl. It scratched the ground with its front claws and pounced at Wang Yan.
"I can do that?"
As Wang Yan thought about it, he threw another palm strike.
Although his Dantian was empty and he could only use a little astral power, it was still a piece of cake for him to deal with a rank three Spirit Beast.
Bang!
As the voice rang out, this Ice Wolf was shattered into pieces by Wang Yan's palm strike without any suspense, turning into ice shards on the ground.
Before Wang Yan could catch his breath, the ice shards scattered all over the ground slowly gathered again.
Howl …!
Looking at the Frost Wolf pouncing at him again, Wang Yan's eyes turned cold. He stopped using his astral power and threw a punch.
Bang!
A dull sound of flesh colliding was heard. The Frost Wolf was pushed back by Wang Yan's punch, but it did not shatter into pieces.
"It seems that my physical strength alone is not enough to deal with a rank three Spirit Beast."
Looking at the Frost Wolf that was approaching him, Wang Yan could not help but miss Cang Jin.
If he was here, he would probably be able to smash the Frost Wolf into pieces with his physical strength alone.
In the blink of an eye, the Ice Wolf leaped into the air and swiped at Wang Yan with its ferocious claws that gleamed with a cold light!
In a split second, Wang Yan used the Swimming Body Movement Technique and dodged the attack.
The moment he brushed past the Frost Wolf, Wang Yan threw another punch at the Frost Wolf's abdomen!
That was because wolves had a common characteristic. They had a bronze head, an iron back, and a tofu waist. The weakest part of their body was their abdomen.
Bang!
A dull sound that made one's teeth ache was heard. The Frost Wolf turned into crystal shards in front of Wang Yan again and scattered on the ground.
In the next instant, the scattered ice shards began to tremble, as if they could gather and regenerate at any time.
"This is the place!"
