Chen Ye shrugged: "She's right, I do have such an item, but it has a big drawback. Once activated, my teammates will also be immobilized."

Yang Zhen stared at him for two seconds, as if assessing the credibility of his words, before speaking: "As long as we work together, everyone in this trial can pass without taking any damage. This trial does not require competing for survival marks. Regardless of whether the BOSS who left the footprints is the Extreme Cold Ice Lord, the right to kill depends on each person's ability. You'd better not use that item of yours; it might backfire."

He didn't speak harshly when he said this, but his attitude was very clear.

Chen Ye nodded slightly: "Of course, we just want to get through this survival trial safely."

Yang Zhen didn't say anything more.

Lu Qingchuan stood to the side without saying a word. He looked at Zhong Xiu, then at Yang Zhen, and said, "We've gathered enough people. Let's go after them and see what's going on. Don't waste time here."

"Okay, let's go."

After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and started walking in the direction of the huge footprints. The man and woman behind him followed at the same time.

Zhong Xiu didn't say much, and followed behind with Yang Lan and three team members.

Chen Ye stood there, watching the backs of the two groups of people go one after the other, then turned his head to look at Lu Qingchuan: "Let's go."

Lu Qingchuan nodded.

The two teams quickly followed.

Although the snowstorm has stopped, the air is still bitterly cold.

The snow crunched underfoot, and huge footprints snaked forward across the white snowfield.

The group trudged through knee-deep snow. At first, they were able to keep up quickly with their momentum, but as time went on, their pace slowed down in unison.

The snow underfoot changed from soft to firm, and then back to soft again. Occasionally, I stepped on pebbles under the ice, making a soft, crunching sound.

The huge set of footprints never stopped.

Every five or six meters there is a deep pit, the snow at the bottom of the pit is trampled and has a faint blue light, as if some kind of cold air is condensed deep in the ice.

Wang Zekai walked in the middle of the group, slightly ahead. His boots sank into the snow and he pulled them out again, his movements no longer as light and quick as before.

He checked the time on the system panel, then looked up at the endless trail of footprints ahead: "They've been walking for almost five hours, haven't they? This guy's got some stamina."

Lu Qingchuan walked beside him, his steps still steady and his breathing still even: "One step of its is equivalent to ten or so of ours, so it is naturally not slow. By the time Yang Zhen discovered the footprints, that monster may have already walked for a long time."

Yang Zhen, who was ahead, slowed his pace slightly: "As long as the footprints are still there, we will eventually catch up."

Chen Ye, who was behind, turned his gaze away from the ever-extending footprints. He had been chasing for five hours but had not caught up. Although the trial lasted for seven days, it could not be wasted like this.

He brought up the trial scenario chat channel and glanced at the map. Fortunately, they were currently chasing in the central area of ​​the Ice Abyss Mountains, otherwise he would not have continued the pursuit.

Chen Ye closed the system chat panel, then slightly tilted his head to glance at Gu Qinghuan beside him: "Can you sense it now?"

Gu Qinghuan walked a dozen steps with her eyes closed, then opened them and nodded slightly: "It's not far from us. That thing is huge, and it keeps moving without stopping."

Zhong Xiu walked on the far right of the group, about ten steps away from the others. Hearing Gu Qinghuan's words, he didn't turn around, but only quickened his pace slightly.

Just as the group climbed over another low slope, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

It was a basin covered in ice and snow, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only their side being a gentle slope extending down. The snow surface of the basin was as smooth as a white mirror.

In the center of the basin, the enormous figure was walking through the snow.

The group stopped about two hundred meters apart.

In such open terrain, there is no cover to take any further forward.

The monster was a giant bear that walked upright, standing over ten meters tall, with arms that reached below its knees and claws as sharp as knives.

Its entire body is covered with blue and white ice crystals, which are layered on top of each other and attached to its surface, like natural armor growing out of its body.

It walked slowly, and with each step it took into the snow, you could hear the crunching sound of the snow being squeezed, and then another pit nearly 1.5 meters long would appear in the snow.

It seemed completely oblivious to the commotion behind it, maintaining the same rhythm as it slowly moved along the edge of the basin toward the ridge.

Wang Zekai put his hand to his forehead and looked at the blue and white figure moving in the distance: "This thing is more than twice the size of the mechanical tiger on the 90th floor of Mechanical City."

Lu Qingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the figure in the distance: "I just don't know if this thing is the Extreme Cold Ice Lord that the trial mission requires us to kill."

Chen Ye shook his head, his gaze also falling on the blue and white giant bear: "It shouldn't be. Trial missions aren't that easy. If we can find the gatekeeper BOSS on the first day, what are we going to do for the remaining six days? But it's most likely a BOSS-level one."

He paused for a moment, then added, "And look at the direction it's traveling; it has a destination in mind. It's not wandering aimlessly; it's more like it's going somewhere."

"Who cares if he's the Lord of Extreme Cold Ice? Let's kill him first."

Before Zhong Xiu could finish speaking, the pair of golden wings on her back suddenly unfolded, and her figure sprang up from the snow. A dazzling golden light began to gather on her right fist.

The golden figure drew an arc in mid-air, its speed so great that it stirred up a cloud of snow mist, and rushed straight at the blue and white giant bear two hundred meters away.

Without any hesitation, Yang Lan quickly followed with her three young teammates. The four of them left a trail of rapid footprints in the snow.

Chen Ye watched Zhong Xiu fly away and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although Zhong Xiu didn't get along with them, his golden wings were truly enviable. If he had the ability to fly, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Wang Zekai stood to the side, also staring at the departing golden figure: "I wonder what kind of talent Zhong Xiu has. How can a middle-aged woman possess such a cool and stylish skill?"

He then turned to look at Gulina beside him, his tone clearly showing his dissatisfaction: "Gulina, show them what you've got, let them see that she's not the only one who can fly."
