The two of them cautiously made their way through the icy valley, moving as if walking on thin ice. As they ventured deeper, the cracks in the ground became increasingly dense, with both width and depth continuously expanding.
Some of the fissures resembled gaping abysses, dark and unfathomable, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down their spines and filled them with dread.
Faced with such treacherous conditions, they dared not let their guard down for a moment. They slowed their pace, fully focused on scrutinizing their surroundings in search of a relatively safe place to step.
"This Ice Soul Valley is far more perilous than I anticipated," Su Mu said, his voice trembling slightly from the extreme cold as he rubbed his arms to fend off the biting chill.
The man in black beside him nodded solemnly in agreement. "Indeed, we must be doubly cautious from here on."
After trudging along for quite some time, a strange and wondrous sight suddenly appeared before them. Deep within the icy valley stood a breathtaking forest of crystal-clear ice.
Each so-called "tree" was formed from enormous ice crystals that sparkled brilliantly under the sunlight, casting a dazzling array of colors that created an enchanting scene reminiscent of a fairyland.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Su Mu exclaimed, unable to contain his genuine admiration.
Even the usually composed man in black found it hard to suppress his astonishment at the stunning scenery before him. He stared wide-eyed at this unprecedented beauty, momentarily entranced.
"The Eternal Ice Lotus should be nearby," he murmured softly, his keen hawk-like gaze scanning the vast expanse of the ice crystal forest meticulously.
At that moment, an extremely faint and barely perceptible sound suddenly reached their ears.
It was as if some mysterious creature was breathing—intermittent and elusive. Instantly alert, both of them quickly glanced around. However, aside from the translucent ice crystal trees and the swirling snowflakes, there was nothing else in sight.
"Who is there?" The man in black furrowed his brow, his expression stern as he raised his voice sharply.
However, as soon as his words fell, the sound abruptly ceased, and the entire Crystal Forest returned to its previous deathly silence, with only the piercing cold wind whipping through the air, carrying flurries of snow.
"Perhaps... it was just our imagination," Su Mu said hesitantly after a moment. Yet for some reason, a vague sense of unease stirred deep within him.
Despite this, he forced himself to remain calm and, alongside the man in black, cautiously stepped deeper into the Crystal Forest.
The crystalline trees shimmered like ethereal spirits, emitting a soft and enchanting glow that cast the surrounding environment into a dreamlike haze.
Yet this beautiful scene did not bring them any sense of reassurance; instead, it heightened their feelings of anxiety.
Just as they were fully focused on the path ahead, that strange breathing sound suddenly echoed once more without warning!
This time, however, the sound was noticeably clearer than before, as if some unknown presence was slowly closing in on them.
"It must be nearby!" the man in black said urgently in a hushed tone, gripping his gleaming sword tightly. His body tensed like a bowstring, ready to confront any sudden danger.
Suddenly, an enormous figure burst forth like lightning from behind one of the translucent ice trees that exuded a chilling aura!
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a massive creature entirely covered in white fur, its size beyond imagination—standing before them like a small hill.
This beast resembled a fierce tiger but was different in one striking way: it had a pair of enormous wings growing from its back. As they fluttered gently, they stirred up gusts of wind that howled past them.
What was particularly captivating were its eyes, resembling deep lakes that glimmered with an eerie blue light. They were cold and sharp; just a glance sent a shiver up their spines, causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
“Oh my God! What kind of monster is this?” Su Mu exclaimed, unable to contain his shock as he gazed at the terrifying creature before him.
The man in black standing beside him wore an extremely serious expression. He fixed his gaze on the giant beast and, after a moment of silence, slowly spoke, “If I’m not mistaken, this must be the legendary guardian beast of the Eternal Ice Lotus—the Ice Crystal Tiger.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ice Crystal Tiger opened its massive jaws and let out a deep, rumbling roar.
The roar echoed like thunder, deafening in its intensity. Even the surrounding ice crystal trees trembled violently, with shards of ice cascading down like a sparkling rain.
Accompanied by its roar, the Ice Crystal Tiger began to move its powerful limbs, slowly and steadily advancing toward Su Mu and the man in black.
With each step it took, the ground quaked slightly, emanating an overwhelming pressure that was almost suffocating.
Under this immense pressure, Su Mu and the man in black felt as if they were tiny boats caught in a storm, ready to be capsized at any moment.
“Everyone must be cautious; we cannot let our guard down! The strength of this Ice Crystal Tiger is definitely formidable,” the man in black warned Su Mu with a serious expression.
Su Mu nodded vigorously, understanding the gravity of their situation.
He knew very well that they were facing an unprecedented challenge today.
However, in order to obtain the incredibly precious Eternal Ice Lotus and the hidden secrets of the Celestial Medical Manuscript within it, they could not retreat even a single step. They had to muster their courage and engage in a desperate battle against this powerful guardian beast, ultimately defeating it.
