Chapter 93

Facing the encirclement of the Hilichurls, Barbara's expression remained calm.

Suddenly,

A terrifying, overwhelming coldness surged forth from her body.

In an instant, everything around her was frozen!!!

From the flowers and grass to the trees, and then the nearby earth.

The once lush Whispering Woods turned entirely a biting, pale white.

Like the Dragonspine Mountains.

Under such astonishing cold,

The two Hilichurls had no time to react before they were frozen into ice statues.

Still frozen in the pose of drawing back for a punch,

The thick ice held them rigid in place, unable to advance an inch.

"Barbara is so amazing!"

Seeing this, Paimon was excited.

Ying also nodded in approval.

To unleash such biting coldness was indeed powerful.

Moreover, she faintly sensed

That it bore some resemblance to her own Wind Fruit ability.

"Good, you're safe!"

Jean also exhaled in relief.

But recalling what she had just witnessed, a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

As Barbara's elder sister, though the two rarely spoke, Jean knew Barbara's condition intimately.

She knew Barbara's Vision was Water.

Precisely because her abilities were unsuited for combat, she had been assigned to logistics.

This was to protect her.

So why could Barbara now use Ice-element abilities?

Was Kaeya nearby?

Had he intervened because he saw Barbara was in danger?

Jean speculated.

"Phew!"

Seeing the two successfully frozen, Barbara also exhaled in relief.

Although she had once demonstrated her ability at the manga shop,

That had been unconscious.

This was Barbara's true first use.

So far, the results seemed good.

"This Ice Fruit ability is truly powerful!"

Barbara's mood was delighted.

Yet the crisis was not over.

Although ordinary Hilichurls had low intelligence, they weren't that foolish.

If close-range attacks failed, then use ranged ones!

So they picked up stones from the ground and began hurling them.

This was one of their skills.

Facing the onslaught of stones, Barbara's mind stirred.

Visible to the naked eye, a layer of biting ice armor cladded her entire body.

Thud!

Thud!

…

The stones, upon contact with the ice armor, instantly froze and fell to the ground.

Ranged attacks failed again!

"It's my turn to strike back!"

Barbara's tone carried excitement.

She had often heard her sister and others go fight Hilichurls,

Even Klee had blown them up before,

Now it was finally her turn!

Barbara crouched slightly, pressing her palm against the ground,

Aiming at the Hilichurls charging toward her again.

The next moment, the Ice Fruit ability activated!

Biting coldness erupted from her palm.

Instantly, a dragon-like band of ice surged forth from the ground, racing toward the enemies.

Along its path, it left behind a magnificent trail of ice!

Boom!

Boom!

……

As a series of freezing sounds rang out, the few Hilichurls in the distance followed in the footsteps of the first two.

Becoming ice sculpture works of art.

"This…"

At this moment, Qin and Diluc and the others had finally rushed over as well.

Seeing the situation in this Whispering Woods, they too were dumbfounded.

All deeply shaken.

The originally green Whispering Woods now had a large white patch in the middle.

That was neither white flowers nor a reflective area.

But rather ice everywhere.

All the plants, thickets, and even the earth,

Were all firmly covered in snow-white!

It was hard to imagine that a scene just like Dragonspine would appear here.
