Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 414: Dragon Transformation: Battle of Giant Clam

However, when it entered the ice cave, it found that it could actually float inside.

This strange phenomenon made Cheng Zongyang feel surprised and curious. His body swayed slightly, trying to find balance and fulcrum in this suspended state.

However, before he could get used to the strange environment inside, he saw a big guy jumping out from the darkness and landing steadily on the heads of two mammoth ice sculptures on the ground.

Seeing the creature appear, Cheng Zongyang was slightly stunned.

But it turned out that the target was actually a frog!
No, it should be a toad! It was ice blue in color, with ice blue bumps on its back, and its size was similar to the rhinoceros he had seen before.

Its skin gleams with an icy luster, as if carved from solid polar ice, and every inch of its texture exudes a bone-chilling chill.

At this time, the Ice Toad stared at Cheng Zongyang with its cold ice-blue eyes, and its belly began to make a "gurgling" sound.

The sound echoed in the silent ice cave, as if the battle horn had already sounded.

Cheng Zongyang became alert instantly, he knew that the ice toad in front of him was definitely not a good creature.

Before he could make any move, the ice toad suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a stream of icy breath gushed towards Cheng Zongyang like a surging cold wave.

Wherever the icy breath reached, the air seemed to be frozen instantly, and a layer of white mist filled the surrounding space.

Cheng Zongyang was startled and quickly dodged to the side.

But some of the icy breath still brushed past his body, instantly condensing into a thin layer of ice on his scales, making him feel a biting cold and his movements became slightly slower.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Zongyang roared at the ice toad angrily, emitting a powerful sound wave.

The sound waves swept towards the ice toad like an invisible sharp blade.

The ice toad seemed to have also felt the power of the sound waves. It lowered its huge body slightly and used its two sturdy forelimbs to protect its head.

The sound wave hit the ice toad, and its body trembled slightly, but it quickly stabilized.

Obviously, the power of sound waves has little effect on the ice toad.

The next moment, its long tongue shot out towards Cheng Zongyang like lightning.

The tip of the tongue flashed with an icy blue light, as if it also carried the same power that could easily freeze everything!

Cheng Zongyang didn't know the situation, and seeing this, he quickly swung his huge claws towards the tongue that was shooting out, as if to cut off its tongue!

The claws and tongue met in mid-air, resulting in a crisp collision sound.

The ice toad's tongue was extremely tough. Although it was caught by Cheng Zongyang's claws, it was not cut off. Instead, it tightly wrapped around Cheng Zongyang's claws.

Cheng Zongyang struggled hard, trying to break free from the tongue, but the Ice Toad used the force to fly its huge body towards Cheng Zongyang.

The two bodies collided with each other in an instant, making a dull loud noise.

Cheng Zongyang opened his bloody mouth and bit towards the ice toad's neck.

The ice toad used its sturdy forelimbs to resist hard, and its sharp claws left several shallow marks on Cheng Zongyang's face.

Cheng Zongyang felt the pain and intensified his attack with even more anger. His tail was like a huge whip, lashing at the ice toad fiercely.

The ice toad was hit by the tail, and its body flew backwards and hit the wall of the ice cave heavily, causing cracks to appear on the wall immediately.

But the Ice Toad quickly climbed up from the ground, with flames of anger burning in its eyes.

It took another deep breath, and the bulge in its abdomen rose and fell violently, and then another even more powerful icy breath spewed out towards Cheng Zongyang.

This time, Cheng Zongyang didn't have time to dodge completely. His body was hit directly by the icy breath, and his lower body was wrapped in a thick layer of ice, making him unable to move.

When the Ice Toad saw Cheng Zongyang was frozen, it jumped towards him triumphantly.

Just as it approached Cheng Zongyang, Cheng Zongyang suddenly mobilized the energy in his body, twisted and shook his whole body violently, and the ice layer shattered instantly.

He took advantage of the ice toad's surprise, stretched out his claws, and grabbed the ice toad's back hard.

Several deep wounds suddenly appeared on the back of the Ice Toad. Blue blood gushed out and dripped onto the ice, forming ice spikes on the ice! The color of the ice where the blood dripped was darker than the surrounding color!
Cheng Zongyang took advantage of the victory and launched a series of sound wave attacks from his mouth. The sound waves were like surging waves, constantly impacting the ice toad's body.

The ice toad's body was shaking under the attack of the sound waves, but it still resisted tenaciously.

It suddenly turned around and aimed the bulge on its back at Cheng Zongyang, and the bulge began to flash with a strong light.

Cheng Zongyang had an ominous premonition in his heart and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

I saw several bulges on the back of the ice toad burst, and an extremely powerful energy surged towards Cheng Zongyang.

This energy quickly condensed in mid-air, forming ice spikes that shot towards Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Zongyang was unable to dodge and was hit by the ice spikes, suffering multiple injuries. Blood oozed from the wounds, staining his scales red.

This is the first time he has bled!

But he still endured the severe pain and rushed towards the ice toad, preparing to get close.

The two once again engaged in fierce close combat.

Cheng Zongyang's claws grabbed at the ice toad like a storm, and the ice toad used its tongue and forelimbs to resist.

During the battle, Cheng Zongyang's body was gradually frozen by the liquid flowing out of the bulges on the toad's back, and his movements became slower and slower. The strength of the ice toad was also constantly weakening due to the reduction in the number of bulges on its back.

As the battle continued, Ice Toad seized an opportunity and quickly jumped back.

The next moment, it mobilized the remaining energy in its body, and the bulge on its back flashed wildly.

As it opened its mouth, the ice-blue energy behind it gathered in its mouth.

When Cheng Zongyang saw this, his pupils shrank and he rushed towards the cave entrance without caring about anything else!

However, who would have thought that the target of this ice toad was not Cheng Zongyang, but the hole dug by Cheng Zongyang.

Suddenly, a stream of ice-blue energy gushed out and all gathered at the entrance of the cave!
Suddenly, the ice layer visible to the naked eye quickly condensed and gradually sealed the cave entrance.

Cheng Zongyang was shocked. Was he going to trap himself to death here?
Cheng Zongyang sensed the Ice Toad's intention and wanted to escape, but he was injured and had difficulty moving. He couldn't increase his speed and there was no way he could escape from the cave in a short time.

He could only watch as the cave entrance was gradually closed by the ice, his heart filled with anger.

As the cave entrance was frozen, the ice-blue energy shifted towards Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Zongyang turned his body in mid-air, trying to escape.

But his tail was still a beat too slow, and was touched by the ice-blue energy, freezing instantly. The ice spread and condensed towards his upper body at an extremely fast speed!
Cheng Zongyang looked horrified, he was completely unable to break the ice!

Finally, his entire body was covered by a thick layer of ice and he fell to the ground like a thick ice sculpture.

It was frozen in the ice cave along with other ancient creatures such as mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, dinosaurs, and plesiosaurs.

When the Ice Toad saw this, its energy dissipated, but it also seemed as if all its energy had been drained away. The bulge on its back dimmed and its body turned gray.

Its body, which was originally full of vitality and intimidating power, now looked tired and weak, and every step it took seemed extremely difficult.

The ice toad looked at the suspended boulder, walked towards it step by step, and then crawled under the boulder and fell asleep. Its breathing became extremely slow, as if it had merged with the coldness in the ice cave and entered a dormant state, absorbing the nourishment of the boulder's mysterious energy to restore its own strength.

On the ground, although Cheng Zongyang's body was frozen, his consciousness was not completely frozen.

He quickly felt the energy in his body, and found that there was still about two-fifths left.

When fighting with the Ice Toad, he consumed too much energy. He knew that if he continued like this, he would really die here.

But now he had no way to escape from the ice. His body was frozen! Every inch of muscle was tightly bound by the cold, and he couldn't move.

At the same time, he also noticed the ice toad crawling beside the boulder.

"He is also absorbing the energy of the boulder!" This thought popped up in Cheng Zongyang's mind.

The energy of this huge rock was also something he could absorb. He had come here from afar because of the inexplicable energy that attracted him.

"I'll try to absorb it too. This is my only chance to survive!"

Cheng Zongyang immediately began to mobilize the energy channels of the second kind of qi in his body.

Suddenly, the surrounding energy penetrated through the ice layer and entered Cheng Zongyang's body, forming an interaction.

At first, the energy was extremely weak, like a trickle.

But when he was thinking about taking a further step, Cheng Zongyang's consciousness was also frozen.

Only the unaffected energy veins were left, slowly circulating and absorbing. This energy gradually affected Cheng Zongyang's body, ensuring the activity of his body cells.

It is like a faint light, tenaciously guarding Cheng Zongyang's life in the dark icy world.

The sleeping Ice Toad did not notice this, after all, the breath was very little.

Time passed quietly, and a year went by slowly.

During these long years, Cheng Zongyang was frozen in an ice cave, like an ice sculpture like other creatures.

However, the energy from the boulder never stopped affecting his body.

It penetrated into the deep of Cheng Zongyang's cells bit by bit. His body had already been transformed by this stone energy.

Now these energies are like a patient craftsman, carefully maintaining his body's activity, gradually adapting to external temperature changes, and transforming his cell structure.

At first, the transformation was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.

But over time, the cells began to subtly change. They gradually became tougher and more tolerant of the cold.

The cell organelles that were originally damaged by the cold gradually recovered their functions under the energy repair and began to operate in a more efficient manner.

As cells continued to transform, Cheng Zongyang's brain consciousness gradually recovered under the nourishment of energy.

Just like dormant seeds slowly sprouting at the call of spring.

At first, his consciousness was just blurry, as if shrouded in fog. But as the energy continued to work and the structure continued to evolve and adapt, his thinking began to become clear.

Although his body was still frozen, Cheng Zongyang, whose consciousness had regained, felt the changes in himself.

He realized this was an opportunity.

So, he began to subjectively guide the energy channels in his body and absorb the energy of the boulder more actively.

During this process, his body's energy structure began to undergo major changes.

The original way of relying on eating to obtain energy gradually extended to a second way.

The special energy emitted by the stone can be used to replenish the almost exhausted food energy.

His body seemed to have become a hub of energy conversion, able to convert the energy of the boulder into various forms required by himself and maintain the functioning of life.

The functions of the organs and muscles inside the body are further enhanced with the reshaping of energy, and the resistance to cold is greatly increased.

Cheng Zongyang knew very well that he was undergoing a new transformation, and all of this came from the energy of the mysterious boulder.

Under the change of energy, Cheng Zongyang slowly began to shed his skin for the second time.

The frozen scales broke away from Cheng Zongyang's body, and new scales grew on his skin. His body had broken free from the ice and could move.

But the thick layer of ice is still the problem he needs to solve.

The biggest life-and-death crisis has passed, and Cheng Zongyang is no longer in a hurry. Instead, he continues to absorb the energy emitted by the boulder.

Having seen the power of the ice toad, Cheng Zongyang also knew the shortcomings of his own attacking abilities.

Therefore, he also began to think about how to improve his abilities.

At this moment, he remembered the thing that flew into the sky and spewed high-temperature flames.

"Fire!" This thought popped up in Cheng Zongyang's mind.

But fire is different from sound. It cannot be created just by thinking of it.

The icy air may be ignited through the conversion of energy, but the fire needs a way to be ignited.

Slowly, he changed his mind.

The way to evolve to spit fire was too troublesome. In the end, he chose to strengthen his sound wave ability. At first, his sound wave power was not strong, and it had an effect on the ice toad, but it was not big.

And he is aware of the power and effect of sound waves, which will also help him escape from the ice!
So, he didn't think too much about it and started thinking about how to improve it and extend it to stronger ways of application.

Just like this, one end was outside and the other end was in the ice, each absorbing the mysterious energy emitted by the stone.

As the days go by, the outside world is changing with each passing day.

Unconsciously, with a shaking like an earthquake, Cheng Zongyang and Ice Toad, who were sleeping in the underground ice cave, woke up from their slumber almost at the same time.

The Ice Toad's condition has recovered to a large extent, but it has not yet reached as strong as when Cheng Zongyang first saw it.

Its ice-blue body was no longer as crystal clear and lustrous as before, but was a little dull, and the bulge on its back was only slightly bulging, no longer as full and plump as before.

At this moment, the Ice Toad looked around vigilantly, with a vigilant light flashing in its cold eyes, and it was trying its best to sense the source of the vibration that came from nowhere.

Cheng Zongyang, who was frozen in the ice, was also keenly aware of the sudden movement.

But he did not rush to take any action. Instead, he calmed down and first felt the changes in himself and the conditions of his surroundings.

He had no idea how much time had passed, he only knew that during those years he had undergone a complete transformation.

Now, he was fully confident that he could use the sound to easily break the ice that had trapped him for so long.

At this time, Cheng Zongyang saw the ice toad actually jump towards the small hole at the back.
