Star Journey: Destiny Returns

Light streamed from the interior of the ice crystal fruit, shimmering with enchanting brilliance like dewdrops in the morning light. Yunxuan, Yaoyue, and Fengchi stared intently at this fruit, a symbol of power and deliciousness, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness.

"Quick, grab it!" Yunxuan rushed forward excitedly and stretched out his hand to grasp the dazzling light.

Yao Yue grabbed him from behind and said, "Be careful, it might be dangerous!"

Just as Yunxuan and Yaoyue were arguing, there was a sudden vibration on the ice surface. It seemed that there was life stirring at the bottom of the abyss, making them hold their breath.

"We may not be the only ones who want this ice crystal fruit." Feng Chi reminded calmly, his eyes wandering around, as if he noticed something.

Yunxuan slowed down his pace, feeling a faint sense of unease. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the impulse in his heart: "Yaoyue, you are right, we must be careful."

However, Yaoyue's eyes remained fixed on the ice crystal fruit, her heart burning with desire. She knew that this fruit was not only a symbol of power, but also the key to their journey.

"We must find a way to get it." Yaoyue said slowly with a firm tone.

At that moment, the ice suddenly cracked again, and several dark shadows emerged from the abyss, slowly moving towards the three of them. They were a group of explorers wearing dark cloaks, their faces gloomy, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

"It seems we have the same goal." One of the leading explorers smiled coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife. "The ice crystal fruit is ours, give it up!"

Yun Xuan was shocked, secretly wondering where these people came from. Their aura was powerful, clearly not ordinary adventurers.

"Who are you?" Yun Xuan frowned, gripped his weapon tightly, and prepared for the upcoming conflict.

"We are the guardians who seek the ultimate taste," the leading explorer said slowly, his tone tinged with disdain, "but you don't seem to understand this principle."

Yao Yue was furious: "The ultimate taste is for us to explore, why should we give it to you!"

"Because you don't deserve it." The explorer's voice was cold and ruthless, and then he signaled the people behind him to prepare for attack.

Yunxuan and Yaoyue exchanged a glance, knowing in their hearts that a fight was inevitable. Yaoyue concentrated her water-based spiritual energy, preparing to unleash her abilities, while Yunxuan summoned his inner strength, his weapon gleaming with a dazzling light.

"Come on, let me see your strength!" Yun Xuan shouted, stepped on the ground, and instantly rushed towards the leading explorer.

The battle broke out immediately, and the surrounding ice continued to crack under the fierce attack. The cold wind mixed with ice chips passed like a blade, which was chilling.

"I'm here to help you!" Feng Chi arrived quickly, the weapon in his hand flashing with light, and fought side by side with Yun Xuan.

The explorers showed no sign of weakness and quickly surrounded them. Several attacks came like a torrential downpour, and Yunxuan and Fengchi resisted them side by side, their spiritual energy surging like a tide, carrying an irresistible force.

"If you want to get the Ice Crystal Fruit, you must first defeat us!" The leading explorer sneered, his aura as heavy as a mountain, and he was obviously not to be underestimated.

Yao Yue, standing by, was not to be outdone. She summoned her spiritual power, transforming into a magnificent water dragon that surged towards the explorers. The dragon surged forward, charging straight at the enemy with a force so powerful it seemed to rip the heavens and earth apart.

"See if you can block it!" Yaoyue's voice was crisp and firm, with a fearless light flashing in her eyes.

"Ridiculous!" The leading explorer snorted coldly, waving his hand to summon a gust of icy wind to meet the water dragon. The power of water and ice merged in the air, producing a deafening roar.

The two forces collided in the air, and a dazzling light burst out in an instant. Ice chips and water droplets flew everywhere, like thousands of stars twinkling in the sky.

"We can't be suppressed!" Feng Chi roared, his heart full of unwillingness. He rushed forward with all his might, pointing directly at the leading explorer.

Yunxuan and Fengchi worked in perfect harmony, attacking from the left and right. Their attacks were as swift as lightning, and they were bound to force the leading explorer into a desperate situation.

"Hmph, what a naive boy!" The explorer smiled coldly. Suddenly, a piece of ice crystal appeared in his hand. He threw it out suddenly. The ice crystal spun in the air and turned into countless sharp ice blades, attacking the two men.

"Get out of the way!" Yaoyue shouted, feeling extremely anxious.

Yunxuan and Fengchi quickly separated, dodging the relentless attack. However, the ice blades were so fast that several cuts still pierced Yunxuan's clothes, causing blood to seep out instantly and a stinging sensation to hit him.

"Are you okay?" Yaoyue's heart tightened and she ran towards him hurriedly, asking worriedly.

"I'm fine!" Yun Xuan shook his head vigorously, a determined light flashing in his eyes, "We can't give up!"

"Keep fighting!" Feng Chi rushed forward again, waving the weapon in his hand, and headed straight for the explorer.

The battle intensified, the deep growls of the ice wolves and the roars of the explorers intertwining into a wild symphony. Yunxuan, Yaoyue, and Fengchi shared a tacit understanding: despite their predicament, they would never retreat.

At this moment, the ice surface trembled again, and the dark shadow in the abyss seemed to awaken. With a low growl, several huge ice wolves rushed out of the abyss and pounced on the three people.

"The situation has gotten worse!" Yaoyue screamed.

Yun Xuan hurriedly turned around and saw the ice wolves. His heart sank: "We're caught in the middle!"

"Don't be afraid, follow me!" Feng Chi did not hesitate and quickly pulled Yunxuan and Yaoyue and rushed to the side, trying to find a way to escape.

However, the ice wolves were closing in on them with lightning speed, putting them in danger of being attacked from both sides. Yun Xuan was secretly anxious, but he also understood that only by uniting together could they find a chance of survival in this desperate situation.

"I'll lure the ice wolf away, you guys go grab the ice crystal fruit!" Yun Xuan said gritting his teeth, a fearless courage surging in his heart.

"Are you crazy?" Yao Yue's heart tightened, and she hurriedly grabbed him, "We can't let you take this risk alone!"

"There's no time!" Yun Xuan shook her hand away, his eyes determined, "I have to make sure you're safe before I can move on!"

"You..." Yaoyue was extremely worried, but she also understood Yunxuan's determination. She wanted to say something, but couldn't. She could only bite her lip, her heart filled with anxiety.

"Go quickly, don't worry about me!" Yunxuan rushed towards the ice wolves, with a burning fighting spirit in his heart. He tried his best to gather all his strength in his hands and faced the oncoming enemies.

Feng Chi and Yao Yue exchanged a helpless look, knowing they had to make a choice. They knew that if they wanted to continue this journey, they had to put Yun Xuan's decision first.

"Okay, let's go!" Feng Chi roared and turned to rush towards the ice crystal fruit.

Yaoyue gritted her teeth and followed. Although she was reluctant, she knew she couldn't hesitate. The roar of the ice wolf was deafening, but she had only one belief in her heart: Yunxuan's sacrifice would not be in vain.

Yunxuan carried the hopes of both of them, his heart brimming with strength. The ice wolf before him felt like a test of his destiny. His spiritual power surged like a tide, his weapon dancing in his hands, as if to shatter all obstacles one by one.
