"Dad, it's about a thousand meters away, right?" Yuki-onna asked as she handed over the fruit.
Qi Yue nodded and said: "I guess it's almost the same. However, it is very difficult to move forward now. The density of the ice has far exceeded my cognitive scope. Every time I go down, I can only move forward. It’s less than twenty meters away.”
Wen Ting looked at Qi Yue's face that had turned livid, and said distressedly: "Qi Yue, why don't you rest for two days before continuing. The temperature down there is too low. If this continues, we haven't discovered anything yet. , your body will not be able to bear it first."
Qi Yue smiled slightly and said: "It's okay. Although it is very difficult. But in this environment, I continue to practice, and it has a good help in improving Yunli. Don't worry, my body will be fine. And , now we are getting closer and closer to the mountain, I think it won’t be long before we have all the hardships, and now I just hope that the efforts these days have not been in vain.”
At this time, Yue Ye woke up from her practice, opened her eyes and saw Qi Yue, and said with some surprise: "Master, I, I seem to have found a way to practice natural energy. Although the natural energy here is very thin, but, I have been able to absorb them on my own."
Qi Yue smiled slightly and said: "As long as you work hard, you will definitely gain something. Congratulations, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely gain something."
Yue Ye nodded, picked up a few fruits and ate them. These days of practice had greatly improved her confidence, and she gradually got over her original sadness. She adapted to the high-altitude climate, and her skin had reappeared. It has regained its original brilliance and is no longer so afraid of the cold.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Yue stood up, came to the ice cave, and said resolutely: "I must drill down more today, and I'm going." As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped into the ice cave, like It was like taking a slide, going down the smooth ice wall, and disappeared from the sight of the three women in the blink of an eye.
The speed of descent gradually increased. Qi Yue pressed on the ice wall around him from time to time to slow down his descent. Soon, as the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, he had reached the bottom of the ice cave again.
Everything around was dark, and there was no light in the ice. Qilin Huan reappeared in Qi Yue's grasp, and the huge flame drilling cone brought a somewhat warm feeling to the surroundings.
The reason why the drilling speed is constantly slowing down has a lot to do with the environment. Although Qilin True Fire has high temperature and is the best in flames, in such a cold environment, the effect it can exert is also greatly reduced. . Qi Yue had to allocate part of the cloud power to resist the surrounding cold. The drilling time is gradually reduced each time.
Qilin Huan brightened up, illuminating the surrounding ice. Suddenly, Qi Yue felt that his eyes seemed to blur for a moment, as if there was a flash of light. After being slightly surprised, he was overjoyed. This was the first time he had discovered anything during the entire drilling process!
Without hesitation, he took back the Qilin Fantasy, replaced it with a fireball for illumination, and turned his attention to the place where the light flickered before. The ice body has not changed at all, it is still the same as before, and the fluctuations of light reflected before have completely disappeared. Qi Yue did not give up. He looked at the ice body in front of him carefully, carefully observed, and waited. He knew that as long as he could confirm that his observations were not wrong, then he would really have discovered something.
As Qi Yue said, opportunities always come to those who are prepared. After his waiting lasted for ten minutes, the reflected light appeared again. Because Qi Yue was observing with concentration this time, he could see it very clearly. It was a halo, and the reflected light was the firelight in his hand. It seemed to fluctuate slightly, and the halo spread irregularly. Although it only disappeared in an instant, Qi Yue couldn't help but feel ecstatic. After many days of hard work, he finally found something.
At this time, in the dense ice, it was difficult for his mental power to explore beyond one meter of the ice body. However, with this discovery, Qi Yue immediately took action, Qilin Huan's drilling changed direction, and headed towards He quickly drilled past the location where the halo appeared.
Wen Ting and Xue Nu were still waiting anxiously above. Wen Ting was counting the time, and it seemed that Qi Yue was about to come up. At this moment, Qi Yue's voice came from the ice cave, "Wen Ting, Xue Nu, come down quickly." His voice was full of surprise and disbelief. Suddenly hearing his voice, Wen Ting and Xue Nu came together at the same time. With their spirits lifted, the two women looked at each other and knew that Qi Yue must have discovered something.
The snow girl looked at the moonlit night next to the row and said, "Should we ask her to go down with us?"
Wen Ting hesitated for a moment and said: "Forget it, the temperature down there is too low. If I fail to protect her, her body may not be able to bear it. Let her continue to practice here. Let's go down and take a look first. "While saying that, Wen Ting left all the fruits beside Yue Ye and jumped into the ice cave with Xue Nu.
Not long after, they had descended more than a thousand meters and arrived at the bottom of the ice cave. When they came here, they suddenly discovered that Qi Yue's excavation was no longer downward, but laterally toward the mountain. The two women walked forward quickly, and after about ten meters, they saw Qi Yue.
Standing there, Qi Yue's body seemed to be stiff and squatted there motionless. Wen Ting was startled and hurriedly called out: "Qi Yue, are you okay?"
The fire light lit up from Qi Yue's hand. Although his energy in the cloud was very high now, his mood was completely aroused, and his voice was slightly trembling, "Come here quickly, look, what is this?"
Xue Nu and Wen Ting heard the words and came to Qi Yue. The ice cave was not high, so the two women could only bend their bodies. When they came to Qi Yue, they were completely stunned by what they saw.
What appeared in front of the three people, at the end of the ice cave, was actually a huge natural cave. No, it should be said to be a natural ice cave. The cold air was constantly spraying from the ice cave towards the cave where they were. The temperature was actually a bit colder than before, and what surprised them most was that inside this huge ice cave, there was actually a vast ocean. Looking around, inside this huge ice cave, there was actually a world of water. .
The halo that Qi Yue discovered before was the reflection of the lake water on the ice surface in the huge ice cave. At this time, their location was at the side wall of the ice cave, because the fireball in Qi Yue's hand could only illuminate Therefore, they can't clearly see how big this ice cave is now, but one thing is absolutely certain. The water here is extremely special. A conservative estimate is that the temperature in this ice cave will exceed minus 70 degrees. , but the water was undulating slightly, without any sign of condensation. This strange scene was enough to surprise them.
Wen Ting was the first to react. The red light in her eyes lit up. She waved her right hand forward. A ball of fire rose into the sky and shot into the cave. When it moved forward about a hundred meters, it exploded violently, bringing a huge impact to the cave. There were countless sparks, illuminating everything around it.
In the brief moment of light, Qi Yue could clearly see that the cave was so big that it completely exceeded his estimate. Under the firelight released by Wen Ting, he could not see the end of the other side. Such a scene could not help but make him He was greatly surprised, and the glacial lake below was even more weird. The surface of the lake was constantly fluctuating, and the originally quiet lake seemed to be centered on a certain position, causing slight ripples.
"Could it be here?" Snow Girl asked curiously, her voice echoing in the empty ice cave.
Qi Yue took a deep breath, his lungs stimulated by the cold air, and his whole body shivered. "I hope the answer is yes." Many days of hard work have not been in vain. Although the whereabouts of the Kunlun Mirror have not yet been discovered, this The strange glacial lake was already his reward. If there is nothing special about such a strange place, who would believe it
Soaring into the sky, Qi Yue hugged Wen Ting's slender waist. The unicorn bead had turned blue at this time and helped him recover the consumed cloud power by absorbing water energy molecules in the air. Although the temperature here was very Low, but the water attribute energy molecules were initially huge. During the absorption process, Qi Yue's physical strength had begun to recover quickly.
The snow girl floated beside Qi Yue, and the three of them flew towards the lake together.
When they came to the surface of the ice lake, Qi Yue found that the surrounding air seemed to have become colder. With a wave of his right hand, a cloud force drove up the lake water, making a roar. Qi Yue felt surprised through his mental power. I found that the temperature of the lake water was actually much lower than the surrounding air, probably about 100 degrees below zero. Water at this temperature is definitely a miracle among miracles! But how is it achieved? Why doesn't it condense
With full of doubts, Qi Yue and the others continued to fly towards the depths of the ice cave. At the same time, he put on his own Qilin Red. With the light of Qilin Red, he was barely able to bring some light to the surroundings, and generated light along the lake surface. The ripples gradually moved towards the depths of the lake. At this time, what Qi Yue wants to find is the source of the ripples. The ripples are not brought by the wind because they are too regular. What is its source in this silent ice cave
The spiritual power spread outwards, exploring the scope of the ice cave. There was no longer a barrier of ice. Qi Yue was surprised to find that the scope of this ice cave was so vast that he could explore thousands of areas. The spiritual power of a square kilometer is actually unable to feel the end of the ice lake. It can be seen that this glacial lake almost completely occupies the middle of the mountain where we are located! What exactly is there in such a strange glacial lake
The discovery of the ice lake was enough to make Qi Yue excited, but what made him a little uneasy was that under the exploration of spiritual power, there were still no changes in other energy auras. Obviously, the aura of the Kunlun Mirror did not appear here.
As they searched for the ripples, it didn't take long for Qi Yue to finally find the end point of the ripples. The sound of the water was very slight, but it was particularly obvious here. When they fell near sleep, they discovered that there was a small gush here. , the diameter of the spurt is about one meter, and it is the source of water ripples on the entire glacial lake surface.
The three of them stopped above the gush. Almost at the same time, both Qi Yue and Xue Nu felt a special feeling. This feeling came from within the gush, but the range was very small, only vertically above the gush. , they felt a special breath. The breath was extremely ever-changing, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, sometimes elegant. Just the moment they felt its existence, it changed into at least dozens of situations. Although the breath was invisible, But the air above the spurt was slowly twisting.
The three of them looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. At such a close distance, even Wen Ting, who was mentally weaker, felt the specialness of the gushing, "Is this right here?"
The light in Qi Yue's eyes brightened, "It should be here. Even if it's not the Kunlun Mirror, there must be something hidden underneath in such a strange aura."
The snow girl suddenly let out a light sigh and said, "Ah! I know what the water here is."
Qi Yue looked at her in surprise, showing an inquiring look. Snow Girl said: "The water here is actually the legendary frozen spring. It is said that it will never condense. It belongs to the category of natural materials and earthly treasures. I just I heard my elders mention it, but I didn’t expect to see it here. No wonder I felt something was wrong as soon as I entered the area of this ice lake. Oh my God! There are so many frozen springs, they are simply... It’s immeasurable.”
Qi Yue asked curiously: "What is the use of this cold spring? It can't bring the dead back to life."
The snow girl shook her head and said: "Of course not, but the frozen spring has huge benefits for all those who practice cold energy. Even a drop of the frozen spring can improve their cultivation. The frozen spring here is thousands of meters deep in the ice body, and the temperature is so low. It can be said to be the best among the frozen springs. If my guess is correct, there must be tens of thousands of people under this frozen spring. Nianhan Jade exists. That is the real priceless treasure."
As she spoke, the snow girl's eyes had already landed on the center of the spout, with an eager light in her eyes.
Qi Yue said: "If that's the case, that would be even better, Snow Girl, aren't you of the cold attribute? So many ice and frozen springs must be of great benefit to your cultivation."
