Chapter 997 Giant Snow Beast

The white-haired old man whose cultivation level had soared changed slightly at this moment. He glanced at Lu Chen and then withdrew his gaze.

"We can only deal with this snow monster first, and then deal with the outsider." The white-haired old man made an instant decision in his heart.

He turned around, his whole body condensed with energy, and with a wave of his arm, the two icicles beside him and the originally dim runes lit up again.

With the blessing of ice crystals, the white-haired old man could control the formation alone. The ice staff in his hand flashed, and the ice and fire barrier in mid-air lit up again in an instant.

His figure jumped directly into the air, stood on the barrier, and stared at the approaching snow beast in front.

"Subduing Beast Whip!" The white-haired old man shouted, and the ice staff in his hand turned into a stream of light and merged into the barrier formation.

The next moment, the light on the ice and fire barrier was bright, and two phantoms suddenly appeared on the two icicles, like two giant tentacles, suddenly stretched out and swung towards the snow beast.

"Roar!" The snow beast roared angrily, and its huge front paws grabbed the white-haired old man with the force of thunder.

Before the huge figure of the snow beast could get closer, the two long whips came first and entangled the snow beast's body firmly, making it impossible for him to move any further.

"Humph, how can I let you step in while I'm here?" The white-haired old man snorted coldly, his whole body full of energy. It was obvious that he had an advantage in the contest with this snow beast.

The power of the two long whips was enough to resist the snow beast. Seeing this scene, everyone in the town looked much more relaxed, and some even had smiles on their faces.

Yanba and Yuan Zhi, who were standing in front of the crowd, directly raised their hands and bowed respectfully to the old man in front, with pious expressions in their eyes.

Lu Chen's eyes at this moment remained on the white-haired old man, carefully observing the changes in the old man.

"The power this person is erupting now is comparable to the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but I don't know how long he can last in this state." Lu Chen murmured.

Outside the formation barrier, the momentum of the huge snow beast gradually became much weaker under the restrictions of the two phantom whips.

With the victory in hand, a smile appeared on the white-haired old man's face.

But Lu Chen, who was in the crowd at this moment, suddenly changed his expression, his eyes flashed red, and he stared behind the huge snow beast.

"This old man is in trouble..." Lu Chen thought to himself, while a look of solemnity flashed across his face.

"Lu Chen, you're here too." Xiao Qian discovered Lu Chen at some point and walked through the crowd to stand beside him.

Lu Chen smiled slightly. The little girl looked quite happy. It seemed that these people thought that the old man had won.

"Are you often attacked by snow monsters here?" Lu Chen looked at the person in front of him and asked in a low voice.

When Xiao Qian heard Lu Chen's words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and there was a trace of sadness on his face, and he nodded lightly towards the person in front of him.

"But don't worry, every time the snow monster comes, it will be repelled by the elders like today." Xiao Qian squeezed out a smile on his face and looked up at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's eyes flashed and he looked up at the white-haired old man in front of him. This time, he might not be so lucky.

Behind the giant snow beast, he saw countless snow monsters slowly gathering, and the power borrowed by the white-haired old man would probably be exhausted in a short time.

"Xiao Qian, please retreat to the back. That elder won't last long." Lu Chen had a calm look on his face and looked a little serious.

Xiao Qian was slightly startled. In her eyes, the elder was clearly about to win.

Before she could hurriedly retort, most of the people around her turned their heads and looked at Lu Chen with evil intentions.

"Outsiders, what are you talking about..."

"That's right, the elders have obviously gained the upper hand. If you are talking nonsense, don't blame us for being rude."

"Outsiders, you are not welcome here, get out of here..."

The crowd around him didn't have the slightest favorable impression of Lu Chen, and the words in his mouth were even more harsh.

The commotion in the crowd was also noticed by Yanba and Yuan Zhi at the front. When they saw Lu Chen, a chill suddenly appeared in Yuan Zhi's eyes.

"Yanba, something is not right about the snow beast outside today. It is very likely that this outsider is the one who attracted it. I suggest throwing him out." Yuan Zhi's aura condensed and his eyes were fixed on Lu Chen.

"Yes, throw this person out."

"Let the snow beast eat this outsider, and maybe he won't attack our village in the future."

"Throw it out...throw it out!"

As soon as Yuan Zhi said this, the crowd around him immediately echoed his words and turned to look at Lu Chen with fierce eyes.

"This matter... I'll wait... until the elder..." Before Yanba could finish his words, he was drowned out by people's voices. He couldn't help but look up at Lu Chen and sighed deeply.

There was a chill in Lu Chen's eyes, and the ray of apology that had just risen in his heart disappeared in an instant.

I have no enmity with these people. I would kill myself just for being hostile to outsiders. The people's hearts here have turned bad due to the fear of being attacked by snow monsters again and again.

"What do you want to do? He saved me. He is not a bad person." Xiao Qian looked anxious, and at this moment, he quickly blocked Lu Chen.

The Yuan Zhi in the distance suddenly swayed, passed through the crowd, and stood in front of Xiao Qian.

"Xiao Qian, get out of the way, he is just an outsider." Yuan Zhi looked angry.

Xiao Qian had a look of grievance on her face, and her eyes couldn't help but flicker. She turned her head and glanced at Lu Chen behind her, with a trace of determination flashing in her eyes.

"He saved me, I can't get out of the way!" Xiao Qian's voice was not loud, but there was a sense of determination in it.

Yuan Zhi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, a cold look appeared on his face, and he took a step forward.

"If you don't get out of the way, then go die with him." Yuan Zhi said with a cold voice, staring at Xiao Qian fiercely.

After hearing Yuan Zhi's words, everyone around them showed indifference on their faces, apparently acquiescing to this matter.

Xiao Qian's figure trembled, and the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help but fall down from the corners of his eyes.

Only the tall Yanba man in the distance changed his face slightly at this time, and his figure cast a ray of light and shadow, instantly blocking Xiao Qian's face.

"Yuan Zhi, are you crazy? She is the elder's granddaughter." Yanba shouted angrily with a loud voice and glanced at the people in front of him.

After hearing Yanba's words, everyone around them nodded slightly. It was obvious that they still had some respect for the white-haired elder who had been protecting this place all year round.
