As long as Luo Feng's Black Tortoise raised its protective shield, if Chen Xu could inflict even the slightest damage to Black Tortoise's protective shield, Luo Feng would concede.
After donning his Ice Armor, Chen Xu wasted no time and swiftly moved toward the Iceberg Snow Lotus.
Better to secure the Iceberg Snow Lotus first.
Chen Xu's speed was now incredibly fast, and since he was flying mid-air without any resistance, he rapidly closed the distance between them.
In just a few seconds, Chen Xu had already reached the spot where Xiao Huo Huo was battling the Frost Shark.
He merely glanced down at Xiao Huo Huo, who was still engaged in combat, sneered coldly, and continued forward without stopping.
At that moment, Xiao Huo Huo suddenly emerged from beneath the Ice Sea—the Frost Shark he had been fighting was already dead.
When Xiao Huo Huo saw Chen Xu's actions, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.
He hadn't expected Chen Xu to still have such a trump card. It seemed everyone who made it here had their own hidden strengths.
Seeing this, Xiao Huo Huo's expression darkened. Flames erupted from his hands, quickly covering the boat beneath him.
Then, with a sudden burst of acceleration—
The flame-covered boat shot forward with a whoosh.
Luo Feng, observing Xiao Huo Huo's reaction, smiled. Just as he had predicted, Xiao Huo Huo's strength was not to be underestimated.
Now, everyone was revealing their trump cards, eager to reach the iceberg as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, Luo Feng wasn't worried—in fact, a faint smile even appeared on his face.
In his eyes, these people's methods were child's play.
Black Tortoise's speed in the water was far faster than a rabbit's.
With a sudden burst of acceleration, Black Tortoise swiftly closed in on the iceberg.
Chen Xu noticed Luo Feng's sudden increase in speed. The distance between them, which had been shrinking rapidly, was now gradually widening.
This filled him with immense urgency.
If he couldn't secure the Iceberg Snow Lotus even after using his Ice Armor, the loss would be too great.
Because right now, he was burning through his lifespan at an alarming rate.
Watching Luo Feng pull further away, Chen Xu refused to accept defeat.
Gritting his teeth, he unleashed his full aura, pushing his speed to yet another level as he raced toward the iceberg.
The stronger his current power, the more lifespan he consumed.
From the moment he activated his Ice Armor to this sudden acceleration—
In less than a minute, Chen Xu had already burned through nearly a year of his lifespan.
If he didn't obtain the Iceberg Snow Lotus quickly and then kill Luo Feng and Xiao Huo Huo—
If this dragged on too long, he might exhaust his lifespan entirely and die on the spot.
He had to preserve at least thirty years of lifespan as a safety net. Otherwise, a single death would cost him thirty years, which could mean true, irreversible death.
Burning his lifespan, Chen Xu moved with terrifying speed.
Soon, he caught up to Luo Feng.
With a smirk, he glanced at Luo Feng and said, "Your turtle's speed isn't cutting it—too slow.
I'll take the lead.
This Iceberg Snow Lotus is mine."
Luo Feng smiled at Chen Xu's words and said nonchalantly, "Sure, as long as you can obtain the Iceberg Snow Lotus, it's yours."
Chen Xu didn't dare waste time with Luo Feng here and was already speeding forward.
Seeing this, Luo Feng wasn't too worried. Chen Xu's current speed was only slightly faster than the Black Tortoise's.
Luo Feng could still reach the iceberg after Chen Xu.
For Luo Feng, this wasn't a bad thing—in fact, it was advantageous.
After all, no one knew whether the seemingly calm iceberg still held hidden dangers.
Based on Luo Feng's experience, there was a 95% chance of danger on the iceberg.
The more precious the treasure, the greater the peril surrounding it.
This was the perfect opportunity to let Chen Xu scout the path ahead.
The Ice Sea wasn't very large.
Three minutes later, both Chen Xu and Luo Feng were nearing the edge of the iceberg.
Chen Xu, seeing the iceberg right before him, couldn't suppress his excitement.
It was as if the Iceberg Snow Lotus was already beckoning to him.
He turned his head to look behind him.
Xiao Huo Huo was still quite a distance from the iceberg.
Though Luo Feng wasn't far, it would still take him a few more seconds to reach it.
A smug grin spread across Chen Xu's face.
The Ice Armor was truly worth it—though it consumed his lifespan, the speed it granted was undeniably impressive.
You really got what you paid for.
Without hesitation, Chen Xu dashed forward, stepping onto the iceberg.
But the moment his foot touched the surface, it was instantly encased in ice, frozen solid.
Shocked, Chen Xu immediately activated the Ice Armor's power, shattering the ice encasing him.
At that moment, vast amounts of snow and ice began surging from the iceberg.
Not only that, but something resembling flames also started emerging from its surface.
The ice and the Ice Fire rapidly converged.
It was as if something terrifying was about to happen.
Chen Xu's heart grew heavy—it seemed obtaining the Iceberg Snow Lotus wouldn't be so simple after all.
The thought made his heart bleed.
His current state was entirely sustained by his lifespan.
So far, he hadn't even accomplished anything—just speeding up had already cost him four full years of life.
If the Iceberg Snow Lotus didn't bring him immense value this time,
he would truly suffer a devastating loss.
Of course, that was assuming he could even obtain it.
If someone else got it first, Chen Xu would be in deep trouble.
Judging from Luo Feng and Xiao Huo Huo's earlier behavior,
killing them would take some time.
Even if he succeeded in the end, his remaining lifespan would likely be nearly depleted.
So, he needed to find an opportunity to ambush them.
Luo Feng, observing the changes on the iceberg, wasn't surprised—he had anticipated danger from the start.
This was all within expectations.
Still, he was curious—what kind of peril would emerge this time?
And what exactly were those flame-like substances rising from the iceberg?
Moreover, as Luo Feng observed the gathering ice and snow, he felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity wash over him.
Not far away, Xiao Huo Huo was swiftly piloting the Flame Boat when he spotted the Ice Fire appearing atop the iceberg.
A gleam instantly flashed in his eyes.
This Ice Fire was precisely the purpose of his journey here.
