Xiao Huo Huo felt as if struck by lightning upon hearing Luo Feng's words.
The impact was simply too overwhelming.
For a moment, he found it difficult to accept.
How could Luo Feng know such a well-kept secret?
Without obtaining the Flame Ring, there was absolutely no way he could have known.
Could it be that the Snowman Brothers had just told Luo Feng?
At this moment, Xiao Huo Huo gripped the Flame Ruler tightly, unsure whether to continue digging or not.
What if, after he broke through, Luo Feng simply took over? Wouldn't that mean all his efforts would benefit someone else?
After an intense internal struggle, Xiao Huo Huo finally decided to keep digging.
This Ice Fire held extraordinary significance for him.
He couldn't give up so easily.
Since Luo Feng hadn't attacked him yet, there was still a chance.
Dig!
Though this iceberg wasn't particularly large, it would still take Black Tortoise several minutes to reach the Iceberg Snow Lotus.
Luo Feng could use this time to examine the newly acquired Extreme Cold Ice Armor.
After all, it was part of a set—the first set item Luo Feng had ever obtained.
Filled with curiosity, Luo Feng began inspecting the armor's attributes.
[Extreme Cold Ice Armor]
Level: Unknown
Set Components: Helmet, Necklace, Chestplate, Armor, Pants, Ring, Gloves, Boots, Weapon
Description: With this Extreme Cold Ice Armor, you will become the sovereign of ice and snow. You can freely wield Ice and Snow Power and soar through the skies.
Cost: Using this armor consumes lifespan. The more life force expended, the greater the power unleashed.
Attribute: Each piece of the Undying Set possesses a unique trait. Collect all nine pieces to forge the complete Undying Set and attain immortality.
Note: Until the full Undying Set is assembled, each use will drain vitality to restore the equipment's strength.
Once the entire Undying Set is collected, you will gain an existence of unparalleled might.
"Damn, it consumes lifespan?! I—"
Luo Feng's face twisted in shock as he read the description.
An item that cost lifespan—this was the first time he'd ever seen such a thing.
What left Luo Feng even more speechless was that this lifespan-draining equipment was actually part of the Undying Set.
This shouldn't be called the Undying Set—it should be called the Self-Destruction Set!
Using this gear meant truly fighting with one's life on the line.
Even with his 189 years of lifespan, Luo Feng couldn't afford such reckless consumption.
Unless, of course, he received a Ten Thousand-Fold Reward when gaining lifespan.
Only with ten thousand years of life would Luo Feng dare to wield the Extreme Cold Ice Armor without restraint.
Now, Luo Feng finally understood why Chen Xu hadn't used the armor immediately.
And why, during his battle with the Ice-Fire Giant, Chen Xu had held back, focusing only on evasion.
Chen Xu had been worried about losing too much lifespan.
Thinking about it this way, Luo Feng stealing the Extreme Cold Ice Armor from Chen Xu had actually done him a favor.
Otherwise, with the armor in his hands, Chen Xu would've eventually drained himself to death.
In this day and age, selfless helpers like Luo Feng were a rare breed indeed.
Luo Feng was quite satisfied with the attributes of the Extreme Cold Ice Armor. While others worried about lifespan issues, he had no such concerns.
From now on, the Extreme Cold Ice Armor could serve as Luo Feng's trump card.
Now, Luo Feng was even more curious—what were the attributes of the remaining eight pieces of the Undying Set?
According to the description, each piece had a unique attribute.
If Luo Feng wasn't mistaken, the nine attributes should be: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness.
The Extreme Cold Ice Armor was likely a water-based attribute.
A metal outer robe?
Earth-walking shoes?
A hammer of thunder?
Several ideas flashed through Luo Feng's mind.
But these were just random thoughts—they couldn't possibly be accurate.
Driven by curiosity, Luo Feng directly equipped the Extreme Cold Ice Armor.
Simply wearing the Extreme Cold Ice Armor had no side effects.
Only when Luo Feng chose to activate its power would it consume his lifespan.
Three minutes later.
The Black Tortoise, carrying Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei, was about to reach the Iceberg Snow Lotus.
At that moment, a surge of Ice Fire suddenly erupted around the Iceberg Snow Lotus, encircling it completely.
The power of this Ice Fire was immense.
Any ordinary creature that touched it would first be frozen into an Ice Sculpture.
Then, as their body endured the extreme cold, the Ice Fire would also inflict an intense Scorching sensation.
This was the true torment of ice and fire.
Most creatures, upon experiencing this, would choose to end their own lives before the pain could kill them.
Unfortunately for the Ice Fire, its opponent was the Black Tortoise—one of the Four Divine Beasts.
Seeing the Ice Fire, the Black Tortoise showed no fear or hesitation. Instead, it grew excited and charged straight into the flames.
At the same time, the Black Tortoise opened its mouth and began devouring the Ice Fire voraciously.
Witnessing this, Luo Feng was somewhat amazed—the Black Tortoise truly had no pickiness when it came to consumption.
Anything related to ice or water? The Black Tortoise would eat it all.
Beside Luo Feng, Tang Xuewei watched as the Black Tortoise bathed in the Ice Fire, her face filled with astonishment.
"Luo Feng, your turtle is incredible!" she exclaimed. "It can even take a bath in flames! I wish I could have a pet like that."
Seeing Tang Xuewei's longing expression, Luo Feng was about to respond when the Ice Rabbit suddenly hopped over.
It seemed to be saying that it could become Tang Xuewei's pet.
Understanding the Ice Rabbit's intention, Luo Feng smirked mischievously.
"If you can do what the Black Tortoise is doing—bathing in the Ice Fire—then we'll take you as a pet. Otherwise, if you're too weak, we won't drag around dead weight. Once we reach the Snow Country, you can go wherever you please."
Truthfully, Luo Feng had some expectations for the Ice Rabbit. But if it didn't have any special abilities, he wouldn't bring along a freeloader.
His stash of Ice Carrots wasn't enough to feed the Ice Rabbit anyway.
Hearing Luo Feng's words, the Ice Rabbit glanced at the surrounding Ice Fire, its face turning pale with fright as it shook its head frantically.
Tang Xuewei quickly interjected, "Don't scare the Ice Rabbit! It did help us find some treasures. And I'm not in a hurry to get a pet."
Luo Feng nodded. "Let's focus on securing the Iceberg Snow Lotus first. Then, when we reach the Snow Country, maybe we'll encounter the White Tiger?"
While Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei were speaking, the Black Tortoise finally carried them both before the Iceberg Snow Lotus.
The Iceberg Snow Lotus emitted a faint white glow.
Its roots, stem, leaves, and petals were all snow-white.
It seemed as if it were made entirely of ice and snow.
