DING! DING! DING! Amidst the crisp, piercing sounds, Ice Spikes sprouted from all directions, striking one after another against Yang Chunxi's defensive barrier and Gao Lingwei's Frost Snow Armor.
Yang Chunxi's evasive maneuvers, however, weren't very strenuous. Compared to these painless and harmless Ice Spikes, her primary objective seemed to be maintaining her balance.
She was currently crouching on a thick Ice Spike, one hand shoved into her pocket, holding her phone and dialing an emergency contact.
It was unclear if the call connected. In any case, Yang Chunxi had no intention of actually speaking. Right after dialing, she kicked off the spike and darted toward Gao Lingwei and Rong Taotao. "This way!"
Gao Lingwei held Rong Taotao from behind, using her Frost Snow Armor to shield his body as best she could. But... while she could protect his back, she couldn't block the Ice Spikes stabbing at him from the front.
