Its head was like a small mountain, its snout thick and long, and the sharp teeth in its mouth were like inverted ice shards, emitting a ghastly white chill as they interlocked.
Its four limbs were like pillars supporting the sky, thick and powerful. As its claws scraped across the ice, they left deep ravines, the edges of which instantly froze into eternal ice that would never melt.
A long tail, like a massive ice-forged meteor hammer, easily leveled the ice hills blocking its path with a casual swing.
Those eyes, the size of carriage wheels, were a pure, unblemished ice-white. There was no rage in them, only the coldness and indifference of looking down upon ants.
The Aura it emitted was like a moving glacial chill. Wherever it passed, the moisture in the air instantly condensed into falling ice crystal powder, and the space around its body appeared slightly distorted and frozen.
One Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast — Ice Armor Giant Crocodile.
One of the overlords of the Extreme North Land, aside from the three heavenly kings of the far north.
It seemed to have no interest in the shivering little things at its feet. Its ice-white eyes gazed far off toward the direction of the core battlefield; it was going to join the fight.
It took heavy, unhurried steps, yet carried an unstoppable Aura as it walked straight past the iceberg where Zhang Lexuan and Caelus were hiding.
The shadow cast by its massive body was like a shroud of death, briefly and completely enveloping the small ice crevice.
The terrifying pressure felt like solid seawater, squeezing through the ice layer and causing the two people inside the crevice to almost stop breathing.
Cold sweat had beaded on Zhang Lexuan's palms, and her Soul Power circulated silently within her body, preparing for the worst.
Caelus was also completely tense, ready to activate his Spirit Ability at any moment.
Fortunately, perhaps because the scent left by the Soul Beast horde was too chaotic, perhaps because the concealment of this ice crevice was good enough, or perhaps because the Ice Armor Giant Crocodile's entire focus was drawn to the main battlefield... its cold gaze did not linger on this iceberg, and its massive body gradually moved away, accompanied by footsteps that shook the earth.
Not until that terrifying pressure completely disappeared from their perception range did the Soul Beasts outside, who had been intimidated, dare to let out whimpers of survival. Chaos spread once more, but the two people inside the ice crevice remained still, not moving for a long time.
In the darkness, Caelus could clearly hear the woman in front of him let out a long, faint sigh of relief.
Her tense body finally relaxed a fraction, and that momentary soft touch made Caelus's heart skip a beat involuntarily.
The crisis was temporarily averted, but the ambiguous and awkward silence inside the ice crevice seemed to have thickened.
Boom!
The crushed ice blocking the entrance of the ice crevice was blasted away by a supple yet powerful palm strike. Amidst the swirling ice powder, Zhang Lexuan hurriedly crawled out first. Cold air rushed in, but it seemed unable to immediately dispel the unnatural flush on her face.
She did not look back, but simply adjusted her slightly disheveled robes with her back to the ice crevice, trying to calm her racing heart.
Caelus followed her out. Watching the Senior Sister's back, which feigned composure but could not hide a trace of panic, he shook his head helplessly, a faint, bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
