Chapter 133: and ===GLOSSARY=== sections
These huge ice blocks that shattered and fell from high places were not random; rather, under the combined effect of the violent tremors triggered by the demon bear's stomping and the tilting of the mountain, they formed a deadly hail of ice blocks covering the entire escape route!
At that very moment, more ice blocks came down with a destructive?

One chunk was as large as a house, a massive ice rock, carrying the force to crush everything, it slammed down straight ahead of the Icefield Demon Bear's charging path!
The Icefield Demon Bear's icy-blue vertical pupils, burning with rage, suddenly contracted; a faint blue light flashed across its body, and a thick layer of ice armor covered its surface.
Its massive body had just burst forth with limitless charging speed, and its huge inertia made it unable to change direction instantly like the Black Goat.
Faced with this sudden obstacle carrying the might of a mountain, it let out an even more ferocious roar, the sound wave almost shattering the ice blocks continuing to collapse above!
But it did not stop! The huge claw, covered in thick ice armor and white fur, rose again—not a hasty block, but imbued with terrifying power to rend space, it fiercely swung upward!
「Boom—crackle!!! 」
The huge claw and the falling massive ice rock collided squarely!
The deafening blast was more terrifying than any previous collision! Ice harder than steel, under the Icefield Demon Bear's immense force, exploded like fragile glass!
Countless fragments of various sizes shot out in all directions like shrapnel from artillery shells!
Yet the Icefield Demon Bear's momentum was completely halted by the terrifying impact of this head-on clash!
Its massive body was shaken backward, sliding back; the ice crystals and some white fur on its huge claw were blown away, revealing the dark red, knotty muscles beneath like rock, and even deeper tears where ice shards had ripped the muscle, dark red blood welling out and splashing bright red plum blossoms on the snow.
The shattered ice rained down like blades, enveloping the Icefield Demon Bear.
When the last relatively large ice chunk slammed down before the Icefield Demon Bear, kicking up a sky‑wide snow mist, this brief, deadly barrier born of the cliff's collapse was finally blasted open by it in the most brutal, violent way!
Amid the drifting snow mist, the Icefield Demon Bear's head, stained with blood and ice shards, lifted again; the fury in its vertical pupils gradually faded, but its gaze, like that from the Nine Nether Inferno, locked firmly onto the Black Goat flickering in and out of the wind and snow.
Snowflakes like goose down continually fell from the sky, blown by the gale onto Li Qingxuan and Huang Rong; the icy grains struck their cheeks like gravel, freezing and piercing, almost making it impossible to keep their eyes open.
The gale swept up snow spray, brutally thrusting into the gaps of their fur coats, trying to steal every bit of warmth.
Li Qingxuan felt the exposed skin gradually go numb; each breath felt like swallowing countless tiny ice needles, his throat and lungs prickling with sharp pain.
"The snow's getting heavier; we need to find a place to rest for a while and wait for it to lighten before we move on." Li Qingxuan wiped ice crystals from his face, tightened his arms, and held the shivering Huang Rong in front of him more closely, clearly feeling her slight tremor through the thick clothing.
「Ooo—」
The Black Goat beneath them let out a strained whine, its large head thrashing against the wind and snow, trying to shake off the snow plastered over its eyelids.
Its speed inevitably slowed in the gale's resistance and the ever‑deepening snow underfoot.
Each lift and fall of its hooves felt heavier than before, kicking up great clouds of snow spray.
The extreme cold silently sapped the beast's stamina and eroded the riders' will.
Huang Rong struggled to lift one arm, using her sleeve to barely wipe the water‑blurred snow from her eyes; her lashes were already coated with fine ice crystals, each blink bringing a faint sense of stickiness.
All that could be seen was a chaotic gray‑white haze, sky and ground indistinguishable; the wind‑whipped snow dust obscured direction and drowned sound, leaving only a monotonous, violent howl ringing in the ears, as if the whole world had sunk into this white chaos purgatory.
She clenched her teeth, lowered her body, and buried her face deeper into Li Qingxuan's broad chest and the blanket, trying to draw in a little warmth and shelter.
Just then, a faint yet penetrating muffled roar came from the valley behind, completely swallowed by the snow mist.
「Roar——!!! 」
That sound rolled like muffled thunder across the icefield, carrying suppressed fury to the extreme and an inhuman power that made the heart pound.
Even across such a distant distance and the violent wind‑snow barrier, it clearly pierced their eardrums, bringing a bone‑chilling cold that made the heart feel colder than the snow hitting their faces.
Li Qingxuan snapped his head back, his eyes flashing like lightning toward the valley's depths; though he saw nothing, that roar, thick with killing intent, struck the Black Goat's back like an invisible whip.
This spirit‑aware beast needed no urging; it let out a howl of fear and resolve, its neck muscles instantly tensing like iron blocks, its hooves unleashing beyond‑limit power, it surged forward again, plowing through the knee‑deep snow waves, each step kicking snow four ways, leaving deep hoofprints that the wind‑blown flying snow quickly filled in.
The Icefield Demon Bear's roar faded in the wind and snow, its massive form finally swallowed by the snow curtain.
Li Qingxuan did not immediately relax his guard—he knew just how keen the beast's sense of smell was, and the blizzard only temporarily hindered its pursuit. He tightened his hold on the shivering Huang Rong in his arms, deciding to first find a temporary shelter, for otherwise the demon bear would surely track them by scent before the storm weakened their numbers.
At this moment, the blizzard grew ever fiercer, as if countless blades were screaming in the air, stinging the face with pain.
Li Qingxuan looked around, seeing only an endless white snow plain with no way to tell direction; the Black Goat staggered forward, deep step then shallow step, when suddenly it plunged Li Qingxuan and them into an underground cave.
The mouth of the underground cave was half‑covered by thick snow, at first glance indistinguishable from the surrounding snowfield; the Black Goat's sudden plunge startled Li Qingxuan and Huang Rong.
The underground cave was spacious; the Black Goat moved freely inside it. Li Qingxuan carried Huang Rong down from the beast's back, and both landed steadily on the ground.
Huang Rong stood beside Li Qingxuan, still trembling, and asked: "What… what is going on?"
Li Qingxuan carefully examined the surroundings and noticed strange scratch and rub marks on the cave walls, as if left by some large animal.
"It looks like some other animal was active here before; we'd better be careful," Li Qingxuan said softly.
The gale continued to howl outside the cave, occasionally blowing snow spray inside that struck the two of them.
"Right now the blizzard outside is too strong; we'll stay here for a while and wait for it to ease before we leave—first we need to check whether the cave interior is safe," Li Qingxuan told Huang Rong.
Huang Rong nodded; although she didn't know what creature had dug the cave, she knew that following Li Qingxuan's arrangement was certainly correct.
