My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2399

2399 Something Is Under the Ice

The thunderbolts smashed several deep pits in the glaciers.

Everybody felt the glaciers tremoring underneath their feet. A series of cracks started sounding as fissures started appearing visibly to the naked eye.

It was as if everybody was going to plummet deep into the ice field in the next instant. The horses whinnied, and the women and children shrieked in fear.

*Smack!* Something tender and green suddenly sprung out from the cracks in the ice behind the convoy and smacked a horse’s rump.

!!
That unlucky mystic horse instantly kicked up its front legs and neighed in fright.

Its rider, the third prince, struggled to suppress the horse’s agitation. However, the mystic horse had reared up vertically, and his brain turned dizzy, his eyes widening in fear.

It would be a joke for him, a useless level-five minor mystic cultivator to handle such a stimulus. Just as he was about to fall off the horse, several guards nearby immediately galloped over. One person steadied his horse, while the other people reached out to catch him.

The third prince’s voice cracked from fear. “Protect me! Protect me, protect me!!”

The little fellow clambered up and poked her head out. She glanced at the idiotic third prince with her black eyes.

She then looked up at the indifferent and composed Duan Yue and promptly thought: The nine sons birthed from the legendary dragon were each different, and it was possible for a good shoot to sprout from bad bamboo. A snow territory divine flower did grow in the face of adversaries after all!

Even though the rain had drenched his long hair, his peach-blossom eyes had turned more sharp and radiant. It gave people the impression that he did not fear any obstacles that stood in his way.

Duan Yue unconsciously ruffled her head as he held the reins in his other hand. He turned to speak to Vassal Prince Rong, who had caught up to him. The convoy continued forward on the ice field in spite of the rain.

A bolt of white light abruptly flashed across the sky, lighting up the ice field ahead at once.

A thunderbolt the width of one’s wrist splintered across the sky and struck the thick ice cap.

Subsequently, a dozen or so green vines shot out from beneath the ice cap and stopped the convoy’s movement with their threatening gestures.

Because the rain was too fierce, the little fellow had already shrunk back into Duan Yue’s chest pocket. As a result, she did not witness the vines attacking from beneath the ice cap.

The horses neighed nonstop, with several Ultramarine Province guards getting bucked off of their agitated mystic horses.

There were several horses who charged forth recklessly with their riders losing control. They and their riders immediately fell into the cracks in the ice cap and vanished without a trace.

A general leading the convoy commanded gravely, “Circle up! Protect His Majesty and Their Highnesses!”

“Keep your calm! Maintain your formation and continue forward!!”

*Crack!* A thunderbolt landed beside a carriage. The carriage driver held onto the reins and drove forward with a pale face, doing his best to control the speed.

Duan Yue solemnly directed the Ultramarine Province guards to go protect the others. He then patted his arctic ice wolf mount’s head and swung a sword in his hand. He chopped three to four vines and leaped over the criss-crossing cracks in the ice cap, landing on firm ground.

“What is going on?” The second prince fled in a flurry while being protected. His face had turned pale. “What is under this ice cap?”

“Instead of trying to figure this out, you might as well run faster to avoid making trouble for other people.” Duan Yue flashed him a spurious smile.

The second prince’s face turned sullen in displeasure.
