Chapter 125 is just too powerful.
Xia Gu watched Xue Qing intently, and finally made up her mind.
She took a deep breath, made her decision, and began making arrangements.
"Xue Lan, we will leave the experienced Xuan Li to take care of Xue Qing personally. We have instructed Xuan Li to do everything he can to stabilize Xue Qing's condition."
"Then you, Eric, and I will take enough supplies and continue deeper into the frigid lands."
Along the way, the wind howled and the snow blizzard blurred their vision, and they nearly fell into ice caves several times.
Occasionally, they will encounter attacks from ice beasts, such as ice-armored bears waving their giant paws and ice snakes swooping down from the shadows.
Every battle was extremely dangerous, but for Xueqing and the mission, they gritted their teeth and persevered.
Deep in the frigid land, Xia Gu and his group were exhausted and their food supplies were running low, yet they still had not found the Spirit Crystal.
"Is there really any spiritual ice crystal here? It feels a bit unreal to me."
Zhang Fenglin rubbed his head, feeling extremely tired.
If this continues, he feels that his body simply cannot take it.
If that's the case, it will only become more terrifying, and I simply won't be able to accept it.
So we still need to properly ask Xia Gu to see if she has any new plans.
"I never expected that after searching for so long, I wouldn't find a single clue. I haven't found any information about the Spirit Crystal at all."
Xia Gu has been searching for a long time and has carefully searched every place. Even with the system's support, the system's detection has not yielded any useful information.
This left everyone feeling extremely desperate. Zhang Fenglin even considered turning back home, thinking it would be better to go back and treat Xueqing.
In that case, Xueqing would at least have a glimmer of hope, instead of dragging things out indefinitely, which would only increase the danger of the situation.
Xia Gu has already inquired and found that the system has no medicine that can cure Xue Qing; only the Spirit Ice Crystal can help.
[Xia Gu: System, you said there are Spirit Crystals here, is that true? I feel like you've become even more unreliable since you leveled up. We've already arrived here, but we haven't found anything.]
Xia Gu immediately launched into a rant about the system, because this whole thing was really upsetting her.
[Host, why don't you head south? There is indeed an ice cave nearby, and there's a very high chance it contains spiritual ice crystals.]
After hearing the system notification, Xia Gu instantly lost her bad temper, and her eyes lit up.
"There are indeed spirit ice crystals in the nearby ice cave. Let's hurry over and look for them."
Xia Gu rubbed her neck, realizing that her efforts had paid off.
At least they won't leave empty-handed, which is already a very good thing.
The others were thrilled upon hearing this and quickly headed south, eager to find some energy sources as soon as possible.
But as soon as they reached the cave entrance, a powerful chill swept over them. A huge ice-type guardian beast stood guard there, its entire body radiating a ghostly blue light, with ice shards swirling around it.
"What? The Spirit Ice Crystal has a guardian beast? We have to be careful. The guardian beasts in this situation are usually very powerful, so we have to cooperate."
Xue Lan was quite familiar with this matter; it was indeed very normal for places with such energy circles to have guardian beasts.
Moreover, these guardian beasts absorb energy sources day and night, which increases their physical strength and makes them powerful enough to be difficult to deal with.
Xia Gu nodded, her brows furrowed, looking very serious, because she knew this matter was somewhat difficult.
"You all stand in the positions we were in before. I will use fire as the main attack, and you will support me from behind. The guardian beasts of the extreme cold are afraid of fire."
Xia Gu, all I want to do is seize this opportunity and launch a proper attack so that I can have a better chance.
Listening to Xia Gu's words, everyone stood in their respective positions, not willing to slack off even a little.
The two sides were instantly locked in a fierce battle. The guardian beasts launched fierce attacks, unleashing icy rays that instantly froze the ground.
"Xiaxia, you have to be careful. This guardian beast is too powerful. With our strength, we may not be able to attack it."
For so long, they have been entirely on the defensive and have not been able to find any opportunities.
Moreover, the guardian beast was always in a very alert state, which made people feel scared.
No matter how well they coordinated, they couldn't break through.
Xia Gu and the others gradually became outmatched, suffering multiple injuries. At this point, Xia Gu covered her wounds and retreated to the side.
Seeing this, Xue Lan felt very sorry for Xia Gu and immediately went to her side and led her away.
"Xiaxia, you absolutely cannot continue fighting now. Otherwise, you should leave it to us."
Xue Lan knew that Xia Gu was already strong enough. If even Xia Gu couldn't defeat them, then the combined strength of all of them would be in jeopardy.
But since we've already come this far, we can't just give up now. If we really give up, we'll only regret it later.
There was simply no way to reconcile these ideas, so all they could do was try their best.
“It seems like we really have no way to win, and even if the guardian beast loses its strength and energy, it can absorb energy at any time at the cave entrance to replenish its energy.”
"Even if we attack with all our might, we won't be able to hurt them at all. Aren't we just wasting our time?"
Xia Gu said this with some trouble, after all, this matter was originally very serious, and if there was no way to break through, then all of them might perish here.
Even if they really withdraw, it might not be a perfect withdrawal. There might still be casualties here, especially since they already have some injuries.
Their stamina is also starting to give out, and if they continue fighting, they will definitely encounter more problems.
"But we can't just leave like this, it would be a disgrace for us. We should observe them carefully and see if they have any weaknesses that we can attack."
Xue Lan said seriously to Xia Gu that, so far, it seems that this is the only way to solve the problem.
Suddenly, footsteps came from the other side, causing everyone to turn around and look.
