Chapter 619 - 559: Sentiments of Love and Longing

At the moment the earthen wall shattered, a gigantic ice wall instantly solidified, standing firm in front of the team, blocking the overwhelming cold wave and the massive, heavy paw of the Icefield Giant Beast.

Unfortunately, the strength of this Icefield Giant Beast was too formidable, and the ice wall couldn’t hold for long; soon, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface.

Just before the ice wall completely shattered, a nimble figure dashed out like a golden lightning bolt.

Xiao Jin, with a fist brimming with violent thunder power, made the surrounding air frantically churn, and with a thunderous boom, he smashed his fist hard onto the Icefield Giant Beast.

Even though Xiao Jin’s size was vastly smaller than the Icefield Giant Beast, the moment his powerful punch struck the giant beast, the thunderstorm power exploded like lightning piercing the sky, directly striking the beast.

The giant beast barely let out a wretched scream before its heavy body was violently overturned onto the ground, causing the entire land to tremble.

Yun Han’s attack followed closely, as countless sharp ice blades formed in the air, shooting out like arrows and piercing through the beast’s body.

Boom!

The giant beast shattered into countless ice crystal fragments amidst the explosion.

After they joined forces to defeat the giant beast, the cold storm only weakened momentarily, instead of stopping, it became even more fierce.

It was as if an ancient beast was roaring, issuing its final warning to these intruders.

Shen Tang’s hair and clothes were blown wildly, barely able to stand! Xiao Jin pulled her into his arms, his cold lips pressing against her forehead, urgently asking, "Are you alright? Hold onto me!"

"Mm." Shen Tang tightly gripped his arm, afraid of being blown away by the storm.

Simultaneously, she acutely sensed that the energy emitted by the recently defeated Icefield Giant Beast seemed to share the same source as the power mingled in this blizzard.

Could it be that these Icefield Giant Beasts were the reason for this blizzard and cold wave?

If that were the case, there must be more giant beasts hiding nearby.

With difficulty, Shen Tang used her spiritual power to probe a few kilometers around and indeed found several similar auras hidden very deeply.

But those beasts must have seen how the bear beast died just now and realized that this group of people was formidable and unlike ordinary Beastmen, so they didn’t rush to attack but intended to wear them down here.

We must find a way to lure them out!

Shen Tang pondered and suddenly recalled her own blood.

Ever since Shen Li handed her the Blood Soul Pearl, the power contained within it flowed through her blood and her entire body, infusing her blood with a trace of Shen Li’s power.

Shen Li’s blood was special; not only could it be used for sealing, it had a strong attraction to Fu Teng before, and she wondered if it might work on these Icefield Giant Beasts.

Not thinking of another method for now, Shen Tang decided to give it a shot.

A sharp blade materialized in her palm, directly slicing through her left palm.

"Tangtang!" Xiao Jin panicked at the sight, hurriedly holding her hand, intending to bandage it.

Yun Han and the surrounding Beastmen, witnessing this, also became alarmed, "Your Majesty, what are you...?"

Shen Tang shook her head, stopping Xiao Jin’s actions, smiling reassuringly at everyone, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. Don’t forget what superpower I possess."

Xiao Jin, too anxious earlier, nearly forgot about it, managing to calm his mind slightly, curious about what she intended to do.

Enduring the pain in her palm, Shen Tang clenched her hand.

Bright red blood trickled through her fingers, staining the once white snow red.

A peculiar fragrance seemed to waft subtly through the air.

The Icefield Snow Beasts hidden nearby couldn’t resist once they caught the scent of this peculiar fragrance! The surrounding ice and cold winds suddenly intensified, accompanied by a few low growls echoing in the air, followed by the ground shaking violently.

Several enormous beasts, each as tall as a building, emerged from distant glaciers, casting giant shadows that loomed overhead with an overwhelming and intensely shocking pressure!

Shen Tang quickly healed the wound on her hand, staring blankly at the scene, her face turning pale.

Feeling her tension, Xiao Jin held her tighter, his body as tense and hard as stone, his voice deep, "Leave this to us. You find a place to hide!"

Shen Tang shook her head, "How can I possibly leave you all and run away myself?"

Even though she’s a Tenth Rank Beastman, the situation was too dangerous this time, and Xiao Jin couldn’t guarantee her safety on the battlefield. But knowing Shen Tang’s stubborn personality, no one could stop her if she wished to act, leaving him without a means to forcibly prevent her.

The Icefield Giant Beasts roared, charging at them, obviously targeting the elite squad, or more precisely, Shen Tang!

Quickly reacting, Xiao Jin squatted, scooping up the blood-stained snow, smearing it across himself to transfer the enticing scent onto him.

Indeed, the beasts’ eyes immediately shifted, changing targets. Countless ice blades formed in midair, showering down toward Xiao Jin like scattering flowers!

Xiao Jin’s clothes burst apart as he transformed, his massive, muscular panther body bulging with muscle, as hard as stone, each hair bristling, wrapped in strands of golden, violent lightning, swirling in a vortex of energy.

The dark clouds overhead began to churn rapidly, with faint thunder rumbling within.

"Roar!"

Letting out a thunderous roar, the Black Panther struck the ground, unleashing a tidal wave of mighty power of thunder and lightning centered on him.

The surrounding ice sheet cracked like a web, shattering with a boom.

A powerful barrier formed of golden lightning enveloped Xiao Jin, shattering the approaching ice blades before they could contact his body.

One giant Icefield Snow Beast, resembling a snowy owl, dove down like a sharp blade, with raging snow and wind concentrated in its wings, potent enough to tear through rock easily!

Shen Tang swiftly raised an ice wall, blocking the attack and buying Xiao Jin time to react.

Xiao Jin charged, transforming the lightning into an invisible net, yanking the giant bird down, then delivered a devastating punch to its eye.

With a deafening noise, the beast’s eye was smashed, letting out a sharp, wretched cry.

Yun Han led the High-level Beastmen under him, as the battle on the field grew fiercer.

Both sides were neck and neck, powerful energies causing the surrounding space to ripple, fracturing vast sections of the glacier.

Amid the intense combat, Shen Tang shifted attention to healing injured Beastmen within the team.

Yun Han’s arm was unfortunately struck, blood gushing out rapidly, but within an instant, the ice power froze his wound, ice layering over and spreading quickly!

A mighty burst of superpower shattered the ice encasing the man’s robust body.

Shen Tang quickly approached, her palm emanating soft, healing light to mend his wound.

Yun Han’s upper garment was tattered, hanging like rags, half-exposing his solid, muscular shoulders and back.

Not noticing earlier, Shen Tang realized not only had he new wounds on his arms, but he also bore many old scars, reflecting how tirelessly he fought over the years.

Feeling a twinge in her heart, Shen Tang reconsidered her previous assumptions about Yun Han being a privileged gentleman, never imagining he fought so tenaciously.

She healed his fresh wounds and addressed his old scars, quickly restoring his body to its uninjured state.

Yun Han felt the gentle, spring-like healing energy, both familiar and unfamiliar.

With his eyes reflecting complex, indescribable emotions, his Adam’s apple bobbed before he quietly said, "...Thank you."

With that, he turned back to the battlefield.

The system couldn’t help but sigh, "Host, it seems he still has lingering feelings."

Shen Tang, no dullard herself, naturally noticed.

Though they hadn’t met for ages, Yun Han’s feelings towards her must have lessened, yet once deeply loved, it’s not easy to forget entirely in a short time.

Resigned, Shen Tang mused, "Now is not the time for such matters; let’s settle this quickly!"

Engaging back into the fray, she dismissed further contemplation on sentimental matters.
