Then, under Noelle's control, the breastplate began to gather in front of her chest, eventually forming a one-sided shield.

This results in an inability to provide comprehensive, all-around defense, but a very strong defense on one side.

The instant the shield appeared, an ice ball-shaped projectile from the opposite side struck. With a loud bang, it shattered into a cloud of ice mist right in front of the three.

The ice hockey pucks weren't particularly powerful, but they were numerous. The buds of the Frost Deception Flower trembled like Gatling guns, while the ice hockey projectiles were fired continuously.

Explosions continued to ring out, and Wu Qiu and his companions were enveloped in icy mist. Fortunately, Noelle didn't seem to be struggling too much; her breastplate easily dealt with attacks of this magnitude.

After the attack ended and the icy mist dissipated, Wu Qiu and the others were still standing there, completely unharmed.

This made the two Frostflowers very uncomfortable; their eyes seemed to be glaring at them angrily, ready to attack at any moment.

But Noelle clearly wasn't going to give them a chance. She raised her hand and then shoved it forward with all her might! The giant shield crashed into the two frost-covered flowers like a wall.

This was so sudden! Not only the opposing team, but even Wu Qiu hadn't expected the shield to be used like that. The two Frost Witches were caught off guard and couldn't escape in time; they were sent flying with a bang!

Before landing, Noelle leaped in front of one of them and swung her sword, "Sealing Dust," directly slashing at it.

A streak of icy blue blood fell from the sky, and Frost Liar was sent flying backward. Noelle was incredibly strong; this blow sent Frost Liar crashing through several trees before finally slamming into a snowdrift, crippling it even if it didn't die.

Upon landing, without a word, it leaped up again and charged at the other one. The other Frost Deceitful Flower had just gotten up when it saw Feng Chen almost right in its face.

They immediately screamed and closed their eyes. Noelle showed no pity; these two had clearly intended to kill them, so how could she possibly hold back?

Just as the dust was about to hit the Frost Flower, Wu Qiu was already prepared to watch the Frost Flower get flattened.

But just then, the earth was torn apart once more, a blur streaked across the sky, and Noelle sensed danger approaching.

The attacking sword was withdrawn and held horizontally in front of his chest. The next second, he felt a tremendous force coming from his chest, as if he had been attacked by something.

Although the dust seal blocked it, the enormous force sent Noelle flying through the air, crashing heavily onto the ground not far from Wu Qiu.

The powerful force bounced Noelle into the air, and she landed after a backflip.

"Cough cough!" Noelle coughed violently as Feng Chen plunged into the ground, kneeling on one knee. But she didn't rest; she quickly got up and stood in front of Wu Qiu, while gripping Feng Chen tightly with both hands.

Under Wu Qiu's gaze, the earth cracked open, and a huge object emerged from the ground.

"Frozen Tree!"

Chapter 87: The Frozen Tree

Cryo trees—Wu Qiu was very familiar with these; they were one of the objects he experimented with for nuclear explosions in the game. But here, Wu Qiu didn't think of them that way.

This frozen tree, when it stands upright, is at least twenty meters long, and its thick trunk and open crown are emitting cold air.

The surrounding temperature was dropping rapidly, and the flame crystal on Wu Qiu's chest was flashing wildly, while the heat was being consumed at an alarming rate.

Even so, Wu Qiu still felt cold. This shows just how terrifyingly low the temperature had become.

The Cryo Tree twisted its body, opened its flower buds, and streams of ice elements converged, before finally shooting a beam of icy blue laser towards them.

Noelle gritted her teeth, preparing to defend. But just then, a fiery red laser shot out from the side, colliding directly with the laser from the Frozen Tree.

Boom! A wave of heat spread out, bringing with it a cloud of white mist. However, the mist seemed to freeze in the low temperature and quickly disappeared.

Klee ran out from the side, stretched out one hand, and pointed two steaming four-leaf clovers at the Cryo Tree.

Wu Qiu was incredibly touched. Thank goodness for Klee! He'd almost forgotten how terrifying Klee's fighting power was. But that's understandable; Klee's adorable appearance makes it easy to overlook her combat strength.

However, the two sides were evenly matched in that clash, which shows that this Cryo Registeel is definitely stronger than the Hilichurl King we encountered last time.

"Hey, Klee, don't get caught up in the fight. Let's run if we can. Our target isn't the Cryo Registra, there's no need to fight."

Klee nodded. "Big brother, let's hurry up and go. Klee will block the Cryo Regisvine's attack."

Immediately, Wu Qiu picked up Klee and ran. Klee, meanwhile, kept her eyes fixed on Articuno; if it made a move, her four-leaf clover wouldn't hold back.

But Wu Qiu and his group had only run a few steps when the ground ahead shook again, and then another frozen tree sprang up from the ground, blocking their path.

"Holy crap! What's going on?!"

Wu Qiu was dumbfounded. He was about to pull Noelle to the right when there were two more sounds, and Frozen Trees appeared on the left and right respectively.

Four Cryo Trees surrounded them completely. Wu Qiu just stood there, dumbfounded. What the hell was this? Were the Cryo Trees cheating? Multiple Shadow Clone Techniques?

But the frozen tree wouldn't stop there. The flower buds closed, and then, like a giant iron hammer, it smashed towards Wu Qiu and the other two.

Noelle brandished a weapon, and as a burst of yellow light erupted, her breastplate activated to its maximum. Immediately afterward, Wu Qiu felt a jolt around him, and Noelle collapsed to her knees with a thud.

The power of the four Frost Trees was immense; their combined force far exceeded Noelle's. However, Noelle used all her strength to keep herself upright and miraculously withstood the attack.

Seeing this, Klee spread her hands, and the four-leaf clover grew larger and shot out with the laser. Whoosh! In an instant, the laser pierced through the top of one of the trees, smashing it to pieces.

Before Wu Qiu could even feel a surge of joy, the Frozen Tree began to tremble, then slowly absorbed the surrounding ice elements, and finally, its rotten head healed.

Wu Qiu didn't even want to say anything anymore. This Frozen Tree was definitely cheating. Not only did it create clones, but it also revived.

The battle was fierce. Klee frantically unleashed bombs and lasers, managing to shatter all four Cryo Registrars. But for every one she destroyed, a second appeared, and more and more followed, until finally dozens of Cryo Registrars surrounded them.

Noelle's shield was no longer effective, only able to block occasional attacks that bypassed Klee's defenses. If these dozens of Cryo Registrars attacked simultaneously, Noelle would not be able to withstand it.

"Ugh! I'm so tired, it feels like I can never finish playing."

Klee was panting heavily, patting her chest, but she didn't dare stop attacking. Some of these Cryo Trees fired lasers, but most of them just charged straight at her, fighting like they were courting death.

Wu Qiu didn't answer Keli either; he kept his sights fixed on the frozen trees as he activated his scout. He couldn't see any information about these frozen trees at all, not even a single question mark.

Therefore, Wu Qiu guessed that these were not the original body at all. So Wu Qiu was searching, and whoever could see the information would definitely be the original body.

However, Wu Qiu examined all the frozen trees, but none of them reacted. So Wu Qiu turned his attention to his surroundings.

"What could the true form of the Cryo-Tree be?" Wu Qiu wondered. Just then, an information panel flashed before his eyes, but quickly disappeared.

"There!" Wu Qiu looked at one of the trees. Behind it, Wu Qiu seemed to see something flash. Normally, Wu Qiu wouldn't have paid attention, but just now, when he investigated, an information panel appeared.

name:?

gender:?

grade:?

age:?

Information: Frozen Tree

"Klee, aim at that tree."

Wu Qiu pointed at the tree and spoke. Klee didn't ask any questions. After smashing another Cryo Tree, she placed her hands on her chest, and the two four-leaf clovers spun around with her.

The fire element surged wildly, instantly increasing the surrounding temperature. Then, Klee flicked her hand forward, and a thick beam of fire elemental light crashed into the tree.

This was a gamble. Klee's move gave the Articuno a perfect opportunity to attack. If they attacked now, Klee wouldn't be able to stop them at all.

But these Cryo Trees didn't. Instead, they all rushed forward at top speed to meet Klee's attack head-on, using their bodies to deflect the blow.

"You guessed right!"

Wu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. Ke Li was also very happy and raised her hand to continue her attack.

But just then, there was a commotion around them. Looking around, Wu Qiu and the others were stunned again.

Because they realized that the three of them were surrounded, a large circle of Frost Witchflowers had appeared around them at some point, and each of them had already pointed their buds at them. As soon as Klee moved, they would attack.

"This……"

Even Noelle was unsettled at this point. Where exactly were they? Why were there so many Frostblooms and Frost Trees?

Klee looked left and right, but ultimately didn't attack. Meanwhile, opposite them, the white smoke dissipated, and Klee's attack had shattered five Cryo Registrars.

However, with the gathering of ice elements, new Cryo Trees quickly appeared. But instead of attacking, they parted to make way, as if welcoming something's arrival.

A figure emerged from behind the tree. It was a woman with icy blue eyes, a tall figure, and a face that was in no way inferior to Noelle's or Ying's.

Her clothes were strange, somewhat like a skirt made of flowers and leaves, but also like armor. Paired with her long hair that reached her waist, and a blooming ice flower on it, she gave off the feeling of an ice queen.

Wu Qiu's gaze remained fixed on her. "Hmm—her chest is a little small, no! It's just that her clothes are a little strange."

Wu Qiu felt a strange, yet familiar feeling towards her...

"That's right! Cang Yu!" Wu Qiu remembered. He had the same feeling when he first met Cang Yu. It was that the clothes seemed to be an extension of his body.

"Cang Yu's feathers are feathers, but this woman..."

Wu Qiu wondered if this woman was a manifestation of the Frozen Tree? Then perhaps the Frozen Trees around her, which Wu Qiu perceived as such, were just a means for her to attack.

"Human, you are very strong. What brings you here?"

The woman spoke, her expression indifferent and her tone icy, devoid of any emotion, as cold as the snow-capped mountain.

She was asking about Claire. Claire shook her head, somewhat bewildered. "Nothing, nothing, I came with my older brother..."

The woman seemed to find Keli's behavior strange. She frowned and looked at Wu Qiu, finally uttering two words involuntarily: "Useless."

......................................................

"I……"

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it, I'll endure it!"

Wu Qiu had become numb to this kind of thing. It seemed that whenever he met someone, the first thing he would say to him was "useless."

Lorna was like that, the Hilichurl King was like that, and now this Cryo Registeel has become a woman, and so is she.

"Since you won't tell the truth, then I have no choice but to wipe you all out here."

As she spoke, the woman raised her hand, her icy aura intensifying. Her eyes were fixed on Keli, as if she were about to unleash her full power.

Keli wasn't afraid, and it looked like the two sides were about to fight. At that moment, Wu Qiu hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

I don't know what they were thinking, but they actually stopped what they were doing and looked at Wu Qiu at the same time.

Wu Qiu shuddered at their gaze, but then coughed and said, "Um, I think we can talk."

Chapter 88: Frost and Snow? Frosty Forest → ωωω.ωцcцδ8.cδм ←No ←Wrong ←

What are you trying to say?

This petite, icy beauty stared at Wu Qiu indifferently, as if to say, "You'd better tell me your last words."

Wu Qiu braced himself and then said, "We are from Wu Chuang's side and have no ill intentions. If you are willing to let us go, we will never do anything to harm you."

Wu Qiu spread his hands. In his opinion, Klee's combat power was so strong that there was no need to fight. After all, no matter how many people died on this side, it would only be Wu Qiu and Noelle who would die, while on the other side, if Klee didn't hold back, they could fight until only her Cryo Registra was left.

The Frozen Tree seemed to think for a moment, then tilted its head without speaking. Seeing an opportunity, Wu Qiu stepped forward. "I see in your eyes that you are a peace-loving person, no, Tree! So I believe you..."

Before Wu Qiu could finish speaking, the Frozen Tree suddenly reached out, and a vine flew out from the side, directly trapping Wu Qiu's right hand.
