Chapter 697 - 306: Boss Lady, I’m Not Weaker Than You at All!

On the snowy ground,

A towering ice wall rises abruptly, its structure solid and crystal clear, shimmering with an unbreakable cold light under the sunlight’s refraction.

Behind the ice wall, the Frost Giant stands majestically on the ground, its massive body covered in thick blue-white ice armor, bringing a sense of security. Its fierce head droops downward, and its eyes flicker with a gentle and friendly light.

Stand behind me.

I will protect you.

"Hng..."

Looking at the big fellow in front, the Ice Fox is visibly taken aback, its petite body trembling slightly, and it quickly hides behind the Flame-tailed Fox. Those ice-blue eyes quietly observe the Frost Giant’s every move.

"Hng!"

The knowledgeable Flame-tailed Fox, unfazed by the sudden appearance of the Frost Giant, slightly raises its eyes, gazing with red pupils briefly, flicking its fluffy tail, and lets out a proud snort.

I can handle it myself!

I don’t need your help!

Despite these words, the Flame-tailed Fox obediently hides with the Ice Fox behind the Frost Giant, letting the tall ice wall protect them.

"Roar..."

The Frost Giant lets out a gentle low growl from its throat, turning to face the group of Split-tooth Steel Mane.

At this moment,

The ground is covered by a barrage of sharp steel bristles, continuously striking the towering ice wall, immediately creating a series of thundering impact sounds.

Ice shards erupt like a fountain, and although the surface of the ice wall bursts into countless spider-web-like cracks, it remains perfectly stable.

Chen Yuan’s eyes flicker, thoughts flowing: "This should be the Eternal Night Barrier, right?"

He had never heard of this Ice Skill before; it’s likely a racial skill of the Frost Giant Race.

A wall of ice rises abruptly, seemingly a purely defensive skill.

Moreover, it withstands the simultaneous barrage of sharp steel bristles from several Split-tooth Steel Mane without collapsing; the defense is incredibly strong.

"This skill could prove useful in many situations." Chen Yuan nods slightly.

"Roar..."

At this moment, the Leader of the Split-tooth Steel Mane recognizes the familiar ice wall and the giant who blocked them yesterday.

But it’s even more concerned that the terrifying fire-breathing bird might be here, immediately scanning the surroundings with slightly frightened eyes.

If it discovers the fire-breathing bird, it will flee without hesitation.

But besides two little foxes, a big fellow, there’s only a weak human and a large dog here.

That fire-breathing bird is not by this human’s side.

"Snort!"

The Leader of the Split-tooth Steel Mane’s eyes flash fiercely, raising its head to issue a charge horn, then lowering its head to build momentum, muscles bulging, its huge tusks aimed directly at the ice wall in front, charging like a battering ram!

Since the fire-breathing bird is not present, now is the time for their revenge!

"Snort!"

The Leader of the Split-tooth Steel Mane, carrying the full force of its charge, crashes solidly into the seemingly unbreakable icy barrier with a dull sound like war drums suddenly resonating beside the ears, followed by dense and chilling sounds of ice shattering.

The ice wall has not collapsed but is already on the verge of doing so.

"Woof!"

Seeing this scene, Cola’s eyes are piercing, eager to try.

Yesterday, big sister stole the show; today is my turn!

It had already thought of the best solution to handle this group of Split-tooth Steel Mane yesterday.

But Chen Yuan’s voice suddenly echoed: "No rush, wait a moment."

He slightly squinted his eyes, folded his hands, silently observing the Frost Giant’s every move.

Right now is a good opportunity to understand the Frost Giant’s specific strength in detail, and since Cola is on patrol, it can’t be in danger.

"Woof..."

Upon hearing this, Cola bows its head in disappointment, sighing, its gaze complex.

It hopes for the Frost Giant to be defeated early so it can step up to help; meanwhile, it doesn’t wish for the dumb big fellow to get hurt.

"Woo woo woo!"

Upon hearing the interaction between the person and their pet, the two little foxes turn around to see a familiar figure, and immediately run towards him.

Compared to the uncertain attitude of the Frost Giant, it’s Chen Yuan that reassures them.

As long as they’re in Chen Yuan’s arms, they’re fearless of any danger!

But the two small ones have grown in size, they can no longer both curl up in Chen Yuan’s embrace, so they stand separately on either side of Chen Yuan, two fluffy big tails unintentionally wrapping around his body.

"What are you two doing here?" Chen Yuan asks.

"Woo woo woo!"

The two little guys answer in a scramble, then glare fiercely at each other.

I speak first!

Let me, me first!

Chen Yuan laughs helplessly, reaching out to pat the two small, furry heads separately. The soft touch makes him smile: "No rush, no rush, speak slowly."

It turns out the two little foxes teamed up a few days ago and came here to visit a good friend, but ended up encountering a snowstorm, causing them to stay for several days.

Today, they finally found an edible Spirit Plant, only to be targeted by the starving Split-tooth Steel Mane.

Chen Yuan nods in understanding, looking into two pairs of pitiful eyes, his heart softens, then he waves his hand: "Don’t worry, I’ll teach them a lesson for you."

At the same moment,

The group of Split-tooth Steel Mane has already knocked down the ice wall, their eyes gleaming with dangerous, fierce light, faces full of menace coming into view.

The Frost Giant, completely unafraid, having eaten its fill, chooses to attack proactively, with the force to crush countless tons of ice and snow, charging towards the nearest Split-tooth Steel Mane like a collapsing ice peak.

Where the charge reaches, the fierce wind brought by the Frost Giant sweeps up swirling snow, and the gentleness in its huge eyes disappears completely, replaced by an arctic storm-like cold and stern authority!

Facing the terrifying pressure from the Frost Giant like a mountain collapsing, the nearest Split-tooth Steel Mane’s pupils constrict, anxious roars suddenly sounding, and it turns its body to retreat.
