Chapter 182: with translation of chapter title

Shush!

This faint sound was not noticeable amidst the heavy snow.

Gu Han, however, twitched his ears and clearly caught this sound.

"Be careful!"

Gu Han immediately shouted.

But at that very moment, the snow beneath his feet suddenly exploded.

A figure like ice crystal suddenly darted out from the snow.

That pair of pincers, flashing with cold light, waved and clamped toward Gu Han's legs.

Gu Chen couldn't help but exclaim,

"Gu Han, be careful, it's an Ice-Snow Giant Crab!"

The Ice-Snow Giant Crab is a demonic beast that inhabits extremely cold environments.

An adult Ice-Snow Giant Crab can at least grow into a three-star demonic beast.

Moreover, the Ice-Snow Giant Crab's pair of pincers possesses extremely strong destructive power.

Even other demonic beasts of the same level dare not withstand it head-on.

What more, a human's fleshly body?

And Gu Han's divine sense was keen; he had already anticipated the Ice-Snow Giant Crab's attack.

He lightly pushed off, and his body rose again in the air.

The Silver Dragon Spear appeared in his hand, and its incredibly sharp spear-light instantly pierced the Ice-Snow Giant Crab's eyeball.

Gu Chen and Gu Qianyue likewise suffered a sneak attack from the Ice-Snow Giant Crab.

Gu Chen's sword-light flashed, easily slaying two Ice-Snow Giant Crabs.

Only Gu Qianyue appeared somewhat embarrassed, but with the timely support of Gu Han and Gu Chen, he still managed to deal with the Ice-Snow Giant Crab.

"Phew, this Thousand Year Cold Valley is too dangerous."

Gu Qianyue broke out in a cold sweat from this sneak attack.

Under the cold wind, it became even more icy and piercing.

They hadn't even entered the depths of the Thousand Year Cold Valley when they encountered Ice-Snow Giant Crabs comparable to a Martial Master.

If they continued deeper, who knows what kind of enemies they would encounter.

"This icy snowy world is a limitation for us, but for these native demonic beasts, it is an excellent hiding place."

Gu Han looked at the still-shocked Gu Qianyue and said in a low voice,

"For now, encountering only Ice-Snow Giant Crabs is fine; if you meet stronger demonic beasts, you might be in danger."

Gu Qianyue furrowed his brows, unwillingly gazing at the incessantly falling wind and snow ahead.

He let out a long breath,

"It seems this Thousand Year Cold Valley is still too much for me."

"Gu Han, Gu Chen, you go ahead; I'll just return to Han Shan Cheng myself."

Gu Han and Gu Chen originally intended to see Gu Qianyue off.

But along the way they didn't encounter much danger.

With Gu Qianyue's strength, plus the life-preserving spiritual treasure he brought from home, he should be able to protect himself.

"Be careful, don't get lost." Gu Han shouted.

As long as he doesn't get lost in this Thousand Year Cold Valley, Gu Qianyue should not encounter danger.

Gu Qianyue laughed heartily,

"Don't worry, I'm not directionally challenged."

Having said that, Gu Qianyue waved at Gu Han and Gu Chen, then turned and walked toward the wind and snow.

After Gu Qianyue walked away, Gu Han looked at Gu Chen,

"Let's keep moving forward, striving to return to Han Shan Cheng tonight."

No one knows how low the temperature will drop in the night of this Thousand Year Cold Valley.

Even Gu Han is unwilling to spend the night in such an environment.

Otherwise, a moment's carelessness might turn him into an ice sculpture.

Gu Chen nodded and continued forward together with Gu Han.

And Gu Han casually absorbed the attributes of six Ice-Snow Giant Crabs.

"Congratulations, host, for absorbing 1 point of Ice Element Resistance from the Ice-Snow Giant Crab."

"Congratulations, host, for absorbing 100 points of Ice Element Power from the Ice-Snow Giant Crab."

"Congratulations, host, for absorbing 2 points of Ice Element Resistance from the Ice-Snow Giant Crab."

"Congratulations, host, for absorbing 1 point of Cold Resistance from the Ice-Snow Giant Crab."

……

A series of six system notification sounds rang in Gu Han's mind.

Ice Element Resistance can enhance Gu Han's resistance to Ice Element martial techniques.

It allows him to handle with ease when facing enemies who wield Ice Element martial techniques.

And Cold Resistance enables Gu Han to adapt to such low-temperature environments as the Thousand Year Cold Valley.

Upon Cold Resistance entering his body, Gu Han felt a surge of warmth.

The surrounding chill was no longer as piercing as before.

Although it still feels like falling into an ice cave, it is much better than before.

Looks like we need to hunt more of these demon beasts.

Gu Han grinned; if he gains more cold resistance, he might be able to thrive here like a fish in water.

The deeper they went into the Thousand Year Cold Valley, the more frenzied the surrounding wind and snow became.

Both of their clothes were covered by the wind and snow; in the heavy snow they looked like two snowmen slowly moving.

Gu Han and Gu Chen simultaneously kept silent, stepping forward with determined strides.

Brother Chen, catch this.

Gu Han saw Gu Chen shivering nonstop, took out a snow-white sphere from his storage space and threw it to Gu Chen.

During this time, he had already accumulated five points of cold resistance.

Although he still couldn't ignore the wind and snow like the frost crab, he was no longer as afraid of the cold as before.

And this ice snow pearl was the spiritual treasure obtained from the treasure chest after slaying a Four Star Frost Crab Queen just now.

The ice snow pearl can absorb the surrounding severe cold, maintaining the holder's body temperature.

Let Gu Chen better adapt to the surrounding environment.

Gu Chen clenched the ice snow pearl in his fist; the snowflakes on his face began to melt at a visible speed.

His previously pale complexion also slowly regained its color.

Let's keep moving forward.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick of continued forward movement, Gu Han suddenly noticed.

Not far to their right, there also seemed to be a squad trudging through the snow.

We're unfamiliar here; better not provoke these people.

Gu Chen also noticed the squad of about ten or more people over there, and shouted loudly at Gu Han.

Gu Han nodded and prepared to distance themselves from that squad.

However, just then, a muffled sound came from the heavy snow,

"Friends over there, please wait a moment."

Gu Han frowned; the voice was clearly from that squad.

Moreover, he saw the squad turn around and rush toward them at great speed.

"Gu Han, what should we do now?"

Gu Chen chose to ask Gu Han for his opinion.

Gu Han thought for a moment, then said in a low voice,

"Having come, we should settle in. It's pointless to wander aimlessly here; it's rare to meet people in this icy snow, so we might as well ask them for directions."

Gu Han and Gu Chen immediately continued forward slowly, while waiting for the squad to approach.

"You two little brothers dare to come to the Thousand Year Cold Valley; you're truly skilled and bold."

The leading middle-aged man, upon approaching, gave Gu Han a hearty laugh.

"We brothers just heard there are many sights in the Thousand Year Cold Valley and wanted to have a look, hoping to encounter some treasure." Gu Chen said with a smile.

"In this white snowy world, what other sights could there be besides ice sculptures?"

The burly middle-aged man laughed and said,

"This area has already been fully developed; if there are treasures, one can only find them by going deeper into the Thousand Year Cold Valley."

"If you two little brothers don't mind, you can travel with our squad for a while."
