Just as Li Ang was talking with the physician, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground suddenly rang out behind him.

The two turned around and saw a medical worker fall to the ground next to Princess Anna's bed.

The nurse had been holding a ceramic cup, which shattered on the floor as she stumbled and fell with a "pa" sound, breaking into pieces.

The dark brown medicinal liquid splashed, emitting a strong, pungent odor.

"What's going on?!"

The female physician frowned and walked forward. Just as she was about to reprimand, she noticed something was wrong.

The nurse who fell to the ground had her hand immersed in the scalding medicinal soup, but she didn't cry out in pain or struggle in any way.

She simply lay on the ground, motionless, so quiet it was frightening.

The female physician, Carly, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and her scalp tingled as if it were about to explode.

She rushed over in a few steps, bent down, and turned over the medical worker who was lying on the ground.

A cry of surprise rang out, and everyone in the room saw that the nurse's wide-open eyes, reflecting the ceiling, had lost their luster.

Empty, frozen, like a still body of water.

She was dead.

"...."

Carly took a deep breath and pulled herself back from the shock.

She raised her head and looked at the other medical staff and security personnel who were equally shocked and confused, and said in a deep voice, "What just happened?!"

"Nothing, nothing happened!"

A small nurse said with a sob, "Daili was getting the medicine ready for the princess to drink. Before she could help the princess up, she fell. None of us touched her..."

Carly silently shifted her gaze to the head of the security team, who nodded silently, confirming that nothing unexpected had happened just now.

It was a sudden death...

"Haa..."

A rapid breathing sound rang out from the bed.

Carly straightened up suddenly and was stunned to find that Princess Anna, who had been in a coma, was trying her best to twitch her eyelids and barely opened her eyes.

She looked at Carly with her turbid eyes, and her purplish-blue lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Carly hurriedly leaned forward and listened at Princess Anna's mouth, her expression becoming even more grave and somber.

After a moment, the female physician straightened up, her face tense, and said to Li Ang, "Master, are you confident that you can perform the surgery here?"

Li Ang didn't rush to answer, nor did he easily step forward to check Anna's physical condition.

Instead, he stood where he was and said cautiously, "The treatment I have mastered focuses not on the outcome of the treatment, but on the process.

"I can't guarantee the final result.

"If you insist that I formulate a surgical plan, I must at least melt the ice on Princess Anna's heart first."

Li Ang was not deceiving Carly and the others on this point.

When he had previously used his spiritual sense to check Princess Anna's body, he discovered that the thin layer of ice attached to her heart was extremely strange, capable of weakening or even freezing a large part of the spiritual sense,

blocking detection,

and even further, disrupting any external energy that entered Princess Anna's body.

In other words, under the interference of the thin ice, Li Ang might not be able to continue using the bioprinting matrix to use the organs in Princess Anna's body to help her create a new heart.

Upon hearing this, Princess Anna's lips moved again.

The female physician, Carly, hurriedly bent down to listen, the expression on her face becoming extremely surprised and bewildered.

Li Ang asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Carly slowly straightened up and looked at Li Ang seriously, "If there is a way to melt the ice, can you perform the surgery?"

"Probably."

"That's good."

Carly nodded, looked at the security and medical team, and ordered, "Pack up, we're leaving the city for the palace."

The people in the room had not yet recovered from the death of the nurse, and now they were a little incredulous when they heard this news.

There were two palaces near the city, the one outside the city, which was the Ice Palace where the Ice Queen lived in seclusion and did not allow outsiders to enter.

The head of the security team asked softly, "Are we all going into the palace?"

"No."

The female physician, Carly, slowly shook her head, her calm gaze slowly turning to Li Ang, "This monk, Your Excellency, will send the princess into the palace."

————

Outside the city, a group of people galloped quickly towards the snow mountain.

At the very front of the team was a carriage carrying Princess Anna and the female physician, Carly, and others. The second carriage carried Li Ang and his party. Behind them were the transcendent materials needed for the medical ritual.

Around the carriage were the security team, who were on high alert, wary of attacks at all times.

What the security team was wary of was not the death squad assassins that might appear, but the magical beasts and monsters that might appear on the snow mountain ahead.

Since Her Majesty the Ice Queen built the palace on the snow mountain, many magical beasts that could live in harsh environments had also entrenched themselves around the snow mountain.

The strength of these magical beasts was no less than that of high-level spellcasters, and each one was enough to plunge an entire organized regiment with a spellcaster squad into a bitter battle.

But the amazing thing was that pedestrians traveling on the mountain road below the snow mountain had never been attacked by the magical beasts on the mountain,

and no one had ever seen these magical beasts leave the snow-covered mountain and come to the more suitable foothills.

When the security team escorted Princess Anna to the palace before, they were fortunate enough to see those magical beasts loyal to the Queen several times. There was not much communication between the two sides.

But now, Princess Anna was in a semi-comatose state, without her aura, no one could say whether those magical beasts would attack them.

A group of people climbed up the winding mountain road with trepidation.

Along the way, the wind and snow gradually thickened, and the snow under their feet changed from a thin layer to being able to swallow their ankles and even their calves.

Seeing that the wheels of the carriage were about to get stuck in the snow, the security personnel skillfully activated the mechanism under the luxurious carriage, turning the upright wheels horizontally and adjusting them to fit snugly against the ground.

Afterward, a representative was sent out from the security team.

This spellcaster stood at the front of the team, inserted his arm into the snow, and activated his ability.

The snow layer in front of him could be seen solidifying into a thick layer of ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, allowing the carriage to continue advancing towards the top of the mountain in a z-shaped trajectory.
