Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 124 Fierce Battle on the Icefield: Clues to the Fountain of Life

The ice bear roared to the sky, its voice shaking the surrounding area, and its exhaled icy breath instantly condensed into icy mist in the air. Its thick limbs pawed at the snow, stirring up waves of snow, and it charged madly towards Zhang Peng and the others with unstoppable momentum.

"Be careful, the power of this ice bear is not to be underestimated!" Zhang Peng shouted, his spiritual energy surging, multicolored light intertwining with lightning power, instantly dispelling the surrounding chill. The ancient artifact in his hand shone brightly, ready to fight at any moment.

Li Ming reacted swiftly, charging forward with his sword to try and restrain the ice bear. He moved nimbly around the bear, searching for an opportunity to strike. Enraged by Li Ming's provocation, the ice bear suddenly turned and swung its massive paw at him. Li Ming quickly dodged, the paw grazing his shoulder and sending a chilling gust of wind through him. Had he been hit, he would likely have been instantly crushed into a pulp.

Lin Wan'er stood behind, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. With her movements, countless resilient vines surged from the ground, coiling towards the ice bear. Nourished by the extreme cold, the vines were even coated with a thin layer of ice, becoming even harder. However, the ice bear possessed astonishing strength; it struggled fiercely, its thick limbs flailing about, snapping most of the vines.

Su Yao then used ice magic, attempting to weaken the ice bear by utilizing its environment. With a wave of her hands, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thick layer of ice instantly formed beneath the ice bear's feet, slowing its movements. The ice bear roared angrily, but kept slipping on the ice, unable to maintain its footing.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng seized the opportunity, mobilizing the power of the Five Elements spiritual energy, the Thunder Pearl, and the Time Hourglass. The power of the Time Hourglass quietly merged with the surrounding flow of time, and he felt that the rhythm of the entire world was under his control. Every move of the Ice Bear slowed down in his eyes.

"Watch this!" Zhang Peng shouted, gathering the power of the fused divine artifact in his hand, forming a dazzling five-colored lightning bolt, which shot towards the ice bear. The lightning bolt struck the ice bear's chest instantly, like a bolt of lightning. The ice bear let out a painful roar, its massive body swaying a few times, but it did not fall.

"How can this ice bear have such strong defense?" Li Ming gasped for breath, his eyes filled with surprise.

Zhang Peng frowned. He realized that this ice bear was no ordinary magical beast; it seemed to possess some kind of special power. Just as he was pondering this, the ice bear attacked again. It leaped up and pounced on Zhang Peng, its massive body drawing an arc in the air, like a small mountain crashing down.

Zhang Peng swiftly used his movement technique to dodge, while continuing to channel the power of the divine artifact. He discovered that when the five elements' spiritual power merged with the power of time, it produced a peculiar effect—it could temporarily weaken the ice layer defense on the ice bear's body.

"I've found its weakness!" Zhang Peng shouted. "Everyone, focus your attacks on the ice layer on its body and weaken its defense!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately changed their attack strategy. Li Ming's sword surged with spiritual energy, each strike carrying immense power, slashing fiercely at the ice bear's ice layer, sending up shards of ice; Lin Wan'er manipulated vines, constantly whipping the ice bear's body, attempting to break through the ice layer; Su Yao concentrated the power of her ice magic at one point, launching sharp ice spikes at the ice bear's ice layer.

With everyone's concerted efforts, cracks gradually appeared on the ice layer covering the ice bear. Zhang Peng seized the opportunity and once again unleashed his full power, pushing the fused divine artifact's power to its limit. An even more powerful five-colored lightning bolt, carrying boundless power, struck the ice bear once more.

This time, the ice bear could no longer resist. With a deafening roar, the ice on its body shattered, and its massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of snowflakes.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the snow. After a fierce battle, they had finally defeated the ice bear.

"Phew, finally it's resolved." Li Ming smiled wearily.

Zhang Peng stood up and looked around. "We cannot let our guard down. This extremely cold place is fraught with danger, and there are many more challenges waiting for us."

Just then, Zhang Peng suddenly noticed a faint light flickering where the ice bear had fallen. He walked over, brushed aside the snow, and found a piece of ice crystal emitting a blue light. Strange symbols were engraved on the ice crystal, somewhat similar to those they had encountered while searching for the artifact.

"What is this?" Lin Wan'er asked curiously.

Zhang Peng carefully observed the ice crystal, a strange excitement welling up inside him. He sensed that this ice crystal might have some connection to the Fountain of Life.

“I think this might be a clue to the Fountain of Life,” Zhang Peng said.

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around. They looked at the symbols on the ice crystal, trying to find more clues.

Suddenly, Zhang Peng realized that the order of these symbols seemed to be related to a certain location in the extremely cold region. He concentrated, recalling the contents of the previous letter and the route they had taken.

“I understand now. The Fountain of Life is likely deep within the Ice Abyss. Following the guidance of these symbols, we should be able to find it,” Zhang Peng said excitedly.

After a short rest, the group continued their journey deeper into the frigid lands, following the directions indicated by the ice crystal symbols. They knew that even greater dangers awaited them, but they were determined to find the Fountain of Life and thwart the mysterious organization's plot.
