From the moment the spell formed on the crystal to him casting the spell, the Snow Monster had already closed in. His eyes focused only on the entrance ahead, and he swung the tree trunk towards them, seemingly determined to sweep away any barrier in his way through sheer brute force.

Mu You was already contemplating whether he should teleport Lin Xue out first.

Facing the lumbering tree trunk, Lin Xue abruptly felt a pat on her shoulder, and a figure stepped forward from behind her, passing her by, and gracefully retrieved the scythe that slipped from her hand. Drawn between her and Mu You, he hoisted the scythe aloft.
"Thud!"
In the midst of the muffled roar, the tree trunk was decisively intercepted mid-air.
A petite silhouette was hovering half a meter off the ground, standing before the Snow Monster, with the scythe in its hands, holding off the enormous tree trunk.
