The moment the youth with the beats earpiece made his move, the man in sunglasses already knew who he was.
— the 16th ranked player on the player rankings, Extreme Cold Phantom!
Just like seahorse, Extreme Cold Phantom was a very special player. He did not belong to the three major guilds. He had joined a small guild called take-out enthusiasts. This guild only had less than 50 members in total, however, his fame among the players was not small. This was because these 50 members were all agents. Moreover, more than half of them had entered the top 200 in the previous proxy war.
In other words, this was a small elite player guild that lived up to its name. The average quality of its members could be said to be the strongest among all the guilds. Take Polar Soul as an example. He only stretched out one hand.., in less than half a minute, the entire opposite side of the pool had been frozen. And that was not all. The ice layer on the surface of the water continued to thicken. Even the waterfall showed signs of being frozen, a portion of the bottom had already become a curtain of water. At the same time, the ice layer was also extending underwater.
Seahorse and Zhang Heng, who were at the bottom of the pool, noticed the changes above their heads.
A hint of anger appeared in Seahorse’s eyes. Of course, he knew that the person who sealed the lake was up to no good. He had taken advantage of the fact that he was still fighting with Zhang Heng to attack. It was clear that they were planning to seal him under the lake as well.
However, the anger in Seahorse’s eyes only flashed for a moment before it was forcefully suppressed by him.
Zhang Heng noticed that the gaze of the man opposite him had become resolute again.
Surprisingly, Seahorse did not choose to escape. Yes, even after realizing that the surface of the water had been frozen, and the ice layer was still thickening, he still did not stop his attack on Zhang Heng.
It was not that seahorse did not care about his own life or death, but as a hunter, his sense of battle told him that the more time passed, the more likely he would be
He could not act rashly. After such a long battle, he and Zhang Heng had already reached a delicate balance. At such a time, if one side could not hold it in anymore, then the balance of the battle would quickly tilt to the other side.
At that time, not only would his previous efforts be in vain, he might even be killed before he could escape to the water. This was the real reason why seahorse chose to continue the battle.
However, Zhang Heng had to admit that the opponent before him was a real tough guy. Knowing the right choice was one thing, but doing it was another, after all, not everyone had the courage to continue fighting when their lives were in danger. From a certain perspective, Seahorse’s actions were completely counter-intuitive.
Because, to show his respect, Zhang Heng once again gripped his [ hidden scabbard ] tightly and charged at Seahorse. At this point in the battle, it was no longer just a battle of combat skills and weapons, it was also a battle of Spirit and willpower!
Both of them knew very well that only by ending the battle in front of them, or at least forcing one of them to make a move to escape, would they be able to leave this pool safely.
Therefore, this time, both of them did not hold back. Zhang Heng gave up on using the Xiao Shan Ming heart stream blade technique that he had been using previously and switched to the more aggressive Zuo Muyan’s main attack. Meanwhile, Seahorse no longer felt sorry for the Trident in his hand, in order to maximize the damage, he even took the initiative to fight Zhang Heng’s [ hidden scabbard ] .
The intensity of the battle increased again!
Seahorse could feel that as time passed, the surrounding temperature became lower and lower. The layer of ice was originally just a thin layer, but after three minutes, it was already close to the top of his head, just by looking up, he could feel a strong sense of oppression.
The tip of the Trident was already showing signs of freezing, and more importantly, his body was losing heat at an alarming rate. His hands and feet were cold, and even his movements were slowing down.
Seahorse also realized that something was wrong. Compared to him, Zhang Heng seemed to be unaffected by the drop in water temperature.
His figure was still as agile as before. Originally, Seahorse could still suppress Zhang Heng in terms of speed, but now, he could no longer keep up with Zhang Heng’s pace in the game. Furthermore, it was different from his ashen face, zhang Heng’s expression did not change much. In other words, the other party was indeed not affected by the cold.
But, how was this possible? !
Seahorse found it hard to understand. He did not expect to lose in the Battle of wills, but in the end, he lost in adapting to the changes in the environment.
However, he had already thought about one thing. If this continued, he did not know what would happen to Zhang Heng, but he would definitely die. Therefore, Seahorse did not hesitate anymore and waved the Trident in his hand, he tried his best to push Zhang Heng away. Then, he started to control the flow of the water to allow himself to rise to the bottom of the huge layer of ice.
Seahorse waved the trident in a frenzy to destroy the layer of ice. At the same time, he had to turn back to deal with Zhang Heng’s entanglement.
The trident smashed into the layer of ice, creating many cracks. However, what made seahorse despair was that compared to the thickness of the ice itself, the cracks that were more than two meters deep were far from enough to break the ice.
At the same time, Zhang Heng’s attacks became more and more fierce. Every time the trident and [ hidden scabbard ] collided, the Golden Light on the Trident would dim slightly. However, at this moment, Seahorse had no time to protect the divine weapon, he could only pray in his heart that the divine weapon was strong enough to withstand Zhang Heng’s attacks.
Unfortunately, when he shifted his gaze to the trident, he realized that the divine weapon had unknowingly become riddled with wounds. There were knife marks all over its body, and each one was deeper than the last, especially the part that had just been cut, one of the spikes had almost been cut off.
Seahorse was stunned, and then his eyes finally turned to fear. He understood that this B grade item that he had borrowed from Poseidon would probably die with him in this pool today.
As if to confirm his guess, when Zhang Heng’s next slash came, Seahorse subconsciously waved the weapon in his hand to block it. However, he felt the hand holding the trident shake violently, then, he saw a crack in the middle of the trident spread crazily around him.
In the end, the majestic golden weapon was reduced to pieces in his hand. However, Seahorse did not have time to mourn for this destroyed God, because he felt that his blood was about to turn into ice chips, and breathing became more and more difficult. Because he had lost too much heat, he even had hallucinations. He felt as if he was sitting in the mouth of a volcano.
Therefore, he subconsciously pressed his body against the ice layer, trying to cool himself down. The result was that after only ten seconds, his body was frozen into the ice layer.
