In Chen Xu's eyes, Luo Feng's strength came entirely from his giant turtle pet.
If he could kill Luo Feng and take possession of the turtle, he would be able to reach Luo Feng's level of power.
However, Luo Feng was now completely protected by the shield on the turtle's back, making it impossible for Chen Xu to break through.
The Ice-Fire Giant's earlier attack had already made Chen Xu realize just how formidable this Protective Shield was.
Naturally, he coveted it intensely.
With such a powerful shield, wouldn't he be able to roam the ocean survival world without fear?
All he needed now was to get inside Luo Feng's Protective Shield and kill him.
The plan filled him with satisfaction.
At this thought, Chen Xu's face twisted into a panicked expression as he quickly said, "Shura, I can't hold on much longer!
Can you let me join you? Let me onto your Turtle Shell?
I've already given up on competing for the Iceberg Snow Lotus."
Luo Feng didn't even bother responding. If Chen Xu couldn't hold on, all the better—it would save Luo Feng the trouble of killing him himself.
Dealing with such a person would only dirty his hands.
Chen Xu had just abandoned his teammate without hesitation—how could Luo Feng trust a word he said?
Seeing Luo Feng ignore him and walk away, a flash of resentment and murderous intent flickered in Chen Xu's eyes.
But he didn't dare let it show too obviously.
With Luo Feng hiding inside the Protective Shield, there was no way Chen Xu could kill him head-on.
After a moment of thought, Chen Xu hurriedly added, "I can give you my Ice Armor as a sign of goodwill!
Just save my life. Otherwise, before I die, I'll detonate the Ice Armor!"
Luo Feng paused at Chen Xu's words, his gaze shifting to the Ice Armor on the man's body.
Did the Ice Armor really have a self-destruct function?
Or was Chen Xu lying to him?
Just in case it was true—and to avoid wasting such a treasure—Luo Feng signaled for Black Tortoise to stop.
If the armor really could self-destruct, it would be a terrible loss.
Seeing Luo Feng halt, Chen Xu's heart surged with triumph. His gamble had paid off.
He hadn't lied—the Ice Armor did indeed have a self-destruct mechanism.
But activating it would consume a massive amount of his lifespan.
If Chen Xu used this function, his life would be completely drained.
Even if he were truly about to be killed by the Ice-Fire Giant today, he would never resort to self-destruction.
Once Black Tortoise stopped, Luo Feng turned to Chen Xu and spoke slowly, "Fine, I'll believe you this once.
Hand over the Ice Armor, and I'll guarantee your safety.
But getting onto my turtle is out of the question."
Though Luo Feng wanted the Ice Armor, he wasn't about to let Chen Xu climb onto his turtle.
He had encountered too many people who tried to ambush him in similar situations.
It was always wise to be cautious.
Hearing this, Chen Xu frowned.
If he couldn't get onto Luo Feng's Turtle Shell, how was he supposed to kill him?
If Luo Feng couldn't be killed, there was no need for him to give the Ice Armor to Luo Feng.
With the Ice Armor equipped, these Ice-Fire Giants couldn't kill him.
But since he had already made the promise, suddenly going back on his word might anger Luo Feng.
That would be quite troublesome.
Suddenly, he seemed to have an idea.
When he handed the Ice Armor to Luo Feng, Luo Feng would surely have to open the protective shield, right?
He could seize this opportunity to rush inside the shield and kill Luo Feng on the spot.
Wouldn't that work?
Thinking of this, a sinister smile crept onto Chen Xu's face.
His wonderful life was finally about to begin.
All he had to do was kill Luo Feng.
Pets, beauties, weapons, food, supplies—everything would belong to him alone.
Chen Xu couldn't help but grin as he quickly said, "Thank you, Shura, for your assistance.
I'll give you the Ice Armor now.
Please open the protective shield first.
That way, I can pass the Ice Armor to you promptly.
Otherwise, once I remove the Ice Armor, I won't be able to resist the Ice-Fire Giants."
Hearing Chen Xu's words and noticing him moving closer to the shield, Luo Feng replied thoughtfully, "Alright, stay at the edge of the shield.
Once I open it, immediately throw the Ice Armor to me.
You don't need to worry about the Ice-Fire Giants nearby anymore."
As Luo Feng finished speaking, the Ice-Fire Giant attacking Chen Xu suddenly began to freeze over.
However, the Ice Fire on the giant's body resisted the frost, causing the ice to melt rapidly.
Then, a white mist shot out from Black Tortoise's mouth, striking the Ice-Fire Giant.
Instantly, the giant was encased in ice, its movements becoming sluggish and stiff.
Witnessing this, Chen Xu was filled with shock and terror.
Strong—unbelievably strong.
Luo Feng's turtle was truly formidable.
At that moment, Chen Xu resolved to kill Luo Feng no matter what today.
It seemed he would have to unleash his full power later, aiming for a single decisive strike.
With a forced smile, Chen Xu said, "I never expected Shura to be so powerful—truly worthy of your reputation.
In that case, giving you the Ice Armor is like gifting a treasure to a hero."
Seeing a gap open in the protective shield on the turtle's back, Chen Xu's heart leaped with joy.
Pretending to remove the Ice Armor, he waited until he reached the edge of the gap—then suddenly, a blinding white light erupted from the armor.
Chen Xu's body transformed into a streak of light as he charged toward the shield.
Bang!
His head slammed directly into Black Tortoise's protective shield, which had instantly resealed the moment Chen Xu made his move.
Dazed and throbbing with pain, Chen Xu barely had time to process what had happened when Luo Feng's voice rang out.
"I only wanted your Ice Armor. Why did you rush in? Were you trying to kill me?"
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Chen Xu's heart skipped a beat—if Luo Feng realized his intentions, he might not leave here alive.
He began to think frantically about how to explain what had just happened. Soon, his face turned fearful as he said, "You must have misunderstood me.
I just saw four other Ice-Fire Giants attacking from the side.
I was terrified and, in my panic, wanted to take shelter inside your Protective Shield.
I really didn't mean to kill you.
"
