1714 Ice Nematode! Ancient Structures Within The Ice Crevasse! (2)
“Careful, Tong En! Where are you burning?” Qin Quan suddenly sucked in a breath, grimacing in pain.
Qin Quan moved his lips but he kept quiet in the end. However, his face gradually turned red. His face gradually turned red, indicating that he was in considerable discomfort.
“Pfft!” Wei Na burst out laughing.
“Qin Quan, now you know you shouldn’t offend women, right?” The young man carrying a long spear on his back laughed.
“Pilder, stop gloating. We don’t know where this ice came from. Maybe next time, you’ll be the one affected,” Qin Quan retorted with a cold snort, glaring at the young man with the long spear on his back.
Pilder’s expression changed. He glanced at the ice on Qin Quan’s feet in fear.
“Bi Yao, something isn’t right. The ice isn’t showing any signs of melting.” Yuan Bai suddenly asked in bewilderment.
“What?!” Bi Yao’s expression changed slightly. He quickly squatted down and looked at the ice on Qin Quan’s leg. He felt a growing sense of unease. “How could this happen? I used fire Force to melt the ice the previous time!”
“F**k, can you be more reliable?” Qin Quan scolded.
“Shut up. Let me think. Let me think. Something must have gone wrong.” Bi Yao closed his eyes. All kinds of images flashed through his mind.
“Hurry up already! If you don’t do it quickly, the bottom half of the body might be crippled!” Qin Quan couldn’t wait any longer and blurted out anxiously.
“Don’t rush him. The ice should temporarily stop spreading since we are using fire Force to heat it,” Wei Na quickly reassured.
“Hey, Sister Wei Na is right. The ice hasn’t melted but it’s no longer spreading.” Tong En’s eyes lit up.
“Start from the bottom. Quick, start from the bottom,” Bi Yao opened his eyes and said.
“Start from the bottom? You’re not joking, right? If it doesn’t work, his… his lower part of his body might get injured!” Yuan Bai glanced between Qin Quan’s legs.
“I don’t know. I started from the bottom and melted the ice,” Bi Yao said.
“Let’s do it. There’s no time to waste.” Qin Quan surprisingly calmed down.
“Alright.” Yuan Bai nodded and exchanged a glance with Tong En. They both ignited their flames simultaneously, starting from Qin Quan’s feet and slowly moving upward to thaw the ice.
Crack…
A soft sound was suddenly heard.
“Indeed.” Bi Yao was elated.
Yuan Bai and Tong En saw positive results and immediately increased the output of their fire Force. The flames burned even more intensely.
“Ouch!” Qin Quan felt excruciating pain in his leg. He hurriedly took out some healing medicine and applied it to his leg. The wound healed quickly.
Fortunately, it was only a minor injury and not too serious. Otherwise, things would have become much more troublesome.
Since they were treasure hunting together, he didn’t want to be a burden to others.
It’s also his fault for being too anxious at the beginning. He attempted to forcibly break through the ice layer and that led to his injury.
“Are you alright?” Wei Na asked.
“I’m fine.” Qin Quan shook his head and squatted down to observe the ground. What froze his legs just now?
The others squatted down and studied the frozen layer of ice on the ground too.
“Qin Quan, before your legs were frozen, did you feel anything?” Bi Yao’s eyes flickered as he asked.
“I felt a piercing chill stabbing my legs, and then they were frozen,” Qin Quan looked at him and thought back to the sensation he had at that time. He didn’t hide anything and simply spoke the truth.
“I had the same feeling the previous time.” Bi Yao nodded.
“Why do you think we need to start from the bottom to melt the ice?” Wei Na pondered.
“It’s possible that the thing that froze Qin Quan’s legs is somewhere below, maybe on the ground or attached to his legs. It has direct contact with him so after heating it, that unseen thing either retreated or died. The source is cut off and the ice naturally melted,” Bai Yuan pondered and said.
“Yes, it’s the same as what I thought.” Bi Yao frowned. “But, what is it? Why haven’t I discovered it?”
“You were frozen once? How did you escape? I remember you aren’t a fire-element martial warrior, right? Were there other companions with you at the time?” Wei Na suddenly turned to Bi Yao and asked calmly.
Bi Yao fell into a momentary silence and then sighed, “In the end, he died. His whole body was frozen, and I couldn’t save him in time. Only I managed to escape.”
“He’s dead!” Everyone was horrified.
“Why did he die? Since he was a fire element warrior, couldn’t he save himself?” Wei Na pressed for more details.
“It happened too quickly. He was frozen in an instant, and there was no time for him to react,” Bi Yao looked at Yuan Bai and Tung En, “That’s why I sought you two fire-element martial warriors. I hope that if we encounter such a situation, we can save the other person instantly.”
“It’s too dangerous. Is this how dangerous a forbidden ground is?” Everyone’s expression turned grim.
“Although I knew that entering a forbidden place would be extremely dangerous, I never imagined it to be so mysterious. It can freeze someone without a sound or trace. We don’t even know what caused it,” Bi Yao said, showing signs of backing out.
