The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 614 Wait, what is Shen Le fighting with?!

There were calls coming from ahead.

There was no way forward.

Shen Le looked up. The ice was jagged and sharp, like wolf teeth hanging upside down. Before him, the pale blue ice wall reflected his blurred face and blocked his path.

And that bronze mirror, seemingly asleep yet also gently humming, echoing in his heart, was clearly behind the ice wall...

Shen Le slowly placed his hand on the ice wall. Even through the thick gloves, he could still feel a bone-chilling cold travel from the ice wall to his fingertips, then rapidly spread upwards:
In just a moment, my entire arm was frozen numb, and the cold even traveled over my shoulder and went straight to my heart.

Shen Le: "..."

Great!
We shouldn't let our guard down just because it's an ice wall!

When touching such an unidentified object, it should be handled like touching a flame or something that may be electrified. Your palms should be facing inwards and your arms outwards so that you can naturally pull your hand away if you feel something is wrong!

Now he could only focus on circulating his internal energy, letting the heat rush up to his shoulders and then to his arms. The golden bead in his dantian spun rapidly, stirring up waves of heat that surged forth. Soon, a wisp of cold mist rose from his arms.
The chill had already formed a layer of frost on my sleeves, and when it was melted away by my internal energy, it would even rise up!

Shen Le was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Round and round, he didn't know how many times he had used his internal energy to push the chill from his shoulder to his elbow, and then from his elbow to his palm.

Just when they were about to succeed and leave, a soft chime came from behind the ice wall!

In an instant, a pale blue mist enveloped Shen Le from all directions, from above, from the ice wall, and even from the soles of his feet and behind him, as if to freeze him inside.

“Back off!!!”

Shen Le finally shouted. His spiritual energy rapidly expanded, and a tiny flame flickered at his fingertips, then immediately extinguished.
On this snow-capped mountain, within the glacier, the amount of fire elemental power he could summon was far too limited. Even with his utmost effort, he couldn't summon a fireball, managing only to gather a flame the size of a finger joint.

Seeing the icy fog drawing ever closer, Shen Le quickly changed tactics. With a flick of his finger, the fog instantly solidified. Soon, it transformed from fog into water, then from water into ice, rippling outwards and clinging tightly to the ice wall—

Are you trying to use cold air against me?

Well, I'm sorry, I also happen to know some techniques for controlling ice...

After this experience, Shen Le was fully alert and no longer dared to regard this trip to the snow mountain as a simple trip of "going up the mountain to pick up things".

He stomped his foot hard on the ground, and a ring of ice rose up around him. The floor was also thickly covered with several layers, and even had anti-slip raised edges.

Then, stretch out your arms high above your head, reaching towards the glacier in front of you:
"open--"

On his chest, a half-bronze mirror resonated softly. His spiritual energy spread out, and on the opposite side of the ice wall, something else echoed it—one sound, two sounds, three sounds—

boom! ! !
Shen Le's expression changed drastically. Above him, around him, and beneath his feet, the entire glacier trembled violently, and icicles fell like wolf fangs, heading straight for his head!
"What--"

He instinctively brought his arms together to protect his head. The ice wall beside him tilted and closed rapidly at his will, forming a pointed roof above his head.

Bang, bang, bang bang bang, one icicle after another smashed down on the top of the head, the sound of the icicles smashing was terrifying, the sound of the ground shaking, the sound of the ice wall above cracking, and the ice wall splitting open with countless cracks.

For a moment, Shen Le was in no mood to think about where the tremor came from. He just did his best to call out, control, and condense the surrounding ice, adding layer after layer of ice to himself!
"What is that...?"

Controlling ice is too difficult!
Moreover, it's getting harder and harder; every time your mental energy extends outwards, it becomes more difficult.

The surroundings trembled violently; the ceaseless fluctuations were not from shards of ice, nor from unfrozen snowflakes, but from the primordial energy of heaven and earth—an extremely cold and chilling primordial energy.
Something is vying with him for control of these vital energies, plundering, pulling, absorbing, and spinning them!

Is it the other half of the bronze mirror?

Is it the spirit of the bronze mirror's former owner, still present and attached to it?

Or perhaps it's something else, like the spirit beasts and demons atop this snow-capped mountain?

What are you going to do!
Do you want to kill me?!

I haven't offended you! Whatever your needs are, just step forward, and we can discuss anything that's on our minds.

Shen Le shouted desperately in his heart. But no one would listen to him at this time. He focused his mind and gathered ice layer by layer, attaching it to the surface of the igloo.

The hastily erected igloo was becoming increasingly solidified, its top almost touching the tip of the lowest icicle. Shen Le had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly, the ground beneath his feet trembled violently!
"what--!"

He suddenly leaned back, or rather, crashed into the igloo wall, and for a moment couldn't stand up straight.

It felt like standing on a raging torrent, or in the middle of a churning river. A cracking, splintering sound came from beneath my feet, and I was thrown about, sliding rapidly downwards!
The glacier collapsed!!!

At the foot of the mountain, two special affairs officers, who had been craning their necks and gazing up at the peaks, suddenly stood up. Both binoculars turned simultaneously, and to their side, a snow line roared down like a dragon!

"avalanche?!"

Both men gasped. The young man from the mainland gasped, reaching for his phone to make a call, but his colleague stopped him with one hand.
"It's alright, it's alright! -- The avalanche didn't happen on the mountain path, it went down several hundred meters, it won't affect Shen Le! Don't worry!"

"But something just doesn't feel right..."

A young man from mainland China looked up at the snow-capped mountains, his heart pounding:
"This snow mountain, it doesn't avalanche early in the morning or late in the evening, but it just happened to avalanche for no reason during the few days that Shen Le went up the mountain. I always feel that it has something to do with Shen Le... By the way, are avalanches common on glaciers?"

Even members of the Special Affairs Bureau who were born and raised on the plateau couldn't answer this question—they carried out most of their missions in the city, and it was impossible for them to spend all day guarding the snow-capped mountains, anxiously watching for any landslides.

Just as I was taking out my phone, looking down to search on Baidu or ask some AI for advice, another exclamation came from beside me.

He looked up at the sound, and instantly, two people stood side by side, staring at the swirling snow mist on the snow-capped mountain, unable to move!

"what is that……"

"That is……"

Are demons soaring?
Is that the roar of a strange beast?
Is it the king of the snow-capped mountains awakening?
Or perhaps, the sleeping demon has been disturbed?

That enormous, snow-white creature, with a body made of glaciers and wings of snow mist, could stand as tall as half a mountain when its four legs were on the ground, and when its wings were spread, they could cover an entire mountaintop...

What is it?
what is it? !

The snow mist dispersed and then gathered again, gathered and then dispersed once more. Layers of snow mist condensed into patterns on the giant beast's body, resembling either a thick mane or curly down, coiling around it like a coin pattern.

It lowered its head and, whether with hooves or claws, scratched the hillside. Immediately, large waves of snow surged down, churning and obscuring the view of everyone below.

Then, tilting his head back, inhaling, and roaring— "Oh no!"

"They really alerted something big!"

"Immediately notify the Special Affairs Bureau! Send reinforcements, send planes—"

The two special agents frantically pulled out their phones to make calls. The snow beast ignored them; or rather, these two people on the distant hillside were like ants to it, not worth its attention whatsoever.

At this moment, it stands with its head held high, reaching up to the clouds, and lets out a roar that shakes the snow-capped mountains.

Then, he lowered his head, his pale blue eyes deepening into a deep, inky blue, fixed on the small, constantly churning cube at the very center of the boiling ice mist:

"Roar--"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~"

Shen Le rolled around inside the cube. Ever since the avalanche started, the snow and ice covering the mountain had been carrying the igloo down rapidly, and he had been inside the igloo with his arms outstretched, desperately trying to hold onto the corner of the wall.

It's infuriating that this house was hastily built and there wasn't time to make furniture or even handrails on the walls.
If he doesn't hold on, if he doesn't hold on, this igloo will roll around a few times. Even if he can hold on and prevent the igloo from breaking, he'll probably be rolling around inside it and getting bruised and battered!

The good news is that if the igloo doesn't break, at least we won't have to use this piece or that piece...

While trying to find humor in his misery, Shen Le desperately tried to gather the surrounding ice energy to thicken the ice house.

The small house tumbled down the ridge, sometimes being thrown high into the air and sometimes being slammed down. Each impact shook Shen Le's vital energy and made his internal organs burn.

They wanted to find an opportunity to freeze the igloo to the ground, or to seek shelter in the snow-capped mountains and let it crawl into the ridge, but they simply couldn't find an opportunity!

Now, he is doing everything he can to save himself from being crushed to death in the avalanche!

After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings gradually quieted down, and the snow house stopped rolling and shaking. Shen Le finally breathed a sigh of relief, but upon taking another breath, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest:
The entire snow house was completely sealed off, with not a single wisp of air getting in!
Even if they're buried, at least they can still dig a way out. Shen Le, having seen avalanches on TV and in movies before, was mentally prepared for being buried and wasn't panicked.

He took a deep breath, first reinforcing the snow house again, repairing the cracks in the walls, roof, and floor, then channeling his mental energy to push aside the thick, soft snow and dig a path for himself:

"It should be... all done, right? Can we go out and take a look now?"

The snow rustled and pushed aside, creating a narrow channel about a meter in diameter from bottom to top.

Shen Le still remembered the strange force that had been vying with him for control of the ice and snow, so he didn't dare to go out directly. Instead, he used his mental energy to scan the surrounding area within a radius of several dozen meters.

After confirming that there was nothing amiss, the snow house was opened, a gentle breeze was summoned to envelop it, and it slowly rose upwards—

"I'll wipe!!!"

The beast roared! Snow mist churned and rushed down, almost sweeping Shen Le, who had just floated up, back into the snowdrift.

The behemoth wasn't nonexistent, it was just too far away. Shen Le scanned an area of ​​several dozen feet around it, thinking himself safe, but the beast was actually over a hundred feet away.

However, this ice and snow beast, which connects heaven and earth, is so enormous that a hundred feet is nothing to it!

Shen Le desperately tried to sink into the ice and snow, then into the earth, but it was too late. The giant beast roared to the sky, and the surrounding snow swirled rapidly, enveloping them like knives!
"I'll wipe!!!"

At the foot of the mountain, two special affairs officers cried out in alarm at the same time. What they feared most had come to pass; they feared something might happen to Shen Le, and sure enough, Shen Le had run into that huge guy—

Such a tiny figure, floating in front of a giant beast with flowing clouds overhead and towering mountains beneath its feet, was pitifully small; its entire body was no bigger than one of the beast's eyes.

Moreover, he was all alone, without a huge mount, without any attendants, and without any weapons such as a towering staff or a three-pointed double-edged sword that could spew flames...

Can you beat it?

Can we beat them?

The spirit that was skilled at summoning and drawing lightning was also beside Shen Le. The question was, would this giant beast formed from ice and snow actually be affected by the tribulation lightning?!

"I wipe!"

Behind the screen in the command center, several staff members also cursed in unison.

Why are there monsters on this mountain?

Why is there such a huge monster?!

Even from a distance of tens of kilometers, the sight of that monster on a drone was enough to send chills down one's spine.

In the future, we must use drones to scan all these remote and sparsely populated places!
Fortunately, it was the Special Affairs Bureau who discovered it, and fortunately, it's the off-season for climbing, so no one went up to climb and there wasn't any trouble. Wait, who was that person who flew up?
"Zoom in!" The commander behind him was practically hoarse from shouting.
"Zoom in! Can you make out their face? Can you tell who that is?"

"I can't see clearly!" The operator's index fingers clattered across the keyboard, almost leaving afterimages, sweat beading on his forehead.
"We've zoomed in all the way! We can only make out that it's one person."

At this point, the operator even hesitated for a moment. Its form resembled a human, but its ability to float in the sky and confront the alien beasts—whether it was truly human was questionable.

"To pinpoint who it is, the drone must get close to the battlefield! Up to 20 kilometers, 10 kilometers..."

"That won't work!"

The commander flatly rejected the idea. These specially modified drones, capable of sensing spiritual energy fluctuations from a distance and flying long distances over the plateau, were extremely rare; they only had two in total.

Faced with such a strange beast, even hovering a hundred miles away is risky for a drone. If it gets close enough to be shot down at 10 or 20 kilometers, no one can afford the loss!

"Is there any other way?"

"...Does Shen Le have a satellite phone? Can it be located without making a call?"

"Maybe it'll work, let's give it a try!" At another workstation, a technician jumped up excitedly. While someone frantically typed on the keyboard, someone else whispered a question:

"If it's confirmed to be him, then what? Is there anything we can do to help?"

Even if we send a reconnaissance and strike drone to fight that alien beast, won't Shen Le be dragged into it as well?
The range is 200 meters, and the blast radius is 300 meters. No, the blast radius is 300 meters. Shen Le is within 200 meters.
"Wait, they're fighting!!!"
