Without dwelling too much on this question, Chen Ziyan planned to leave it to time to answer.
He first took the two of them to get to know each other with the others, and then continued to work on their affairs.
Although the appearance of Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling made him change his future plans, it had no impact on what he was going to do now, so he just did what he had to do, and there was no need to change it.
Speaking of which, the arrival of these two women did not bring much benefit to Chen Ziyan and the others, but it also did not bring much loss.
After all, Shirley Yang didn't need to be responsible for too much physical labor in the first place, but now she just happened to be keeping an eye on these two people in the name of accompanying them.
The work of determining the position on the ice wall quickly yielded results. After Hu Bayi confirmed it again and again, everyone began to copy the operation on the ice using the point he marked as the center. First, they painted it with ginger juice. Once, wait until the ginger juice has completely penetrated and then start digging.
Because there was a bottomless crevasse next to them, there was no need to transport broken ice, so they completed the shelter much faster than expected.
After digging the outer wall of the nine-story demon building, Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "Mr. Chen, what should I do at the entrance?"
It was only after he finished the work that he remembered this matter.
Now that they were on the side wall of the ice crevice, the giant wolves from last night were no longer a threat, but they couldn't prevent Xue Maitreya.
To a certain extent, it was even more convenient for Xue Maitreya.
Chen Ziyan looked back at the entrance, thought for a while and said, "Let's build a half wall at the entrance. This will not only ensure that we can come in and out freely, but also effectively restrict Xue Maitreya's movements."
From the giant wolf corpses we saw last night, we can know that after Xue Maitreya takes over the corpse, even if it does not receive any nutritional supplements, the corpse will swell due to the gathering of Xue Maitreya.
With the giant wolf's expanded size, it would be difficult to overcome the obstacles they set up in a short time, which was enough for them.
After thinking for a while, Hu Bayi nodded: "This is a good idea."
They have the salt to deal with Xue Maitreya. As long as they can guard against the opponent's surprise attack, they can take advantage of its weaknesses to deal with it calmly.
After dealing with the issues at the shelter, everyone went up to the ice again, and according to Chen Ziyan's plan, they built a fake defense on the ice cave.
This is what they prepared for those giant wolves. If those guys come back at night, this defense will definitely bring a 'surprise' to them.
After the fortifications were completed, the ill-intentioned people returned to the shelter with snickers.
After resting for a while, they planned to dig open the outer wall of the nine-story demon building while it was still early.
If possible, it is also a good choice to rest in the nine-story demon building at night.
The process of breaking through the outer wall of the nine-story demon building went smoothly. Having mastered many corresponding techniques, they completed the task easily.
When a gap as tall as a person appeared on the outer wall of the nine-story demon building, Chen Ziyan was the first to walk in.
If it were him in the past, he might not have entered so boldly. After all, he knew that the nine-story demon building was guarded by Dapu ghost insects.
But now he is not worried at all.
And this, let’s talk about the reward he got last time.
Firefly sac.
This reward is indeed as he expected. It is a genuine treasure. It has an internal space that far exceeds the appearance. However, it is not used for storage, but is used for raising creatures, similar to the beast control space. .
However, it is not without limitations. This fire sac can only be used to raise insects, and it can only be bound to one type of insect.
As soon as he figured out the function of firefly sacs, Chen Ziyan's mind flashed through all kinds of monster insects he knew, and finally settled on the two insect species that he was most interested in and that were most helpful to him.
One is the Corpse King from the Mother Kingdom of the West, and the other is the Dapu Ghost Insect from the Demon Kingdom.
After considering his own situation, Chen Ziyan finally decided to bind the Dapu Ghost Insect.
Although the Dap Ghost Insect is less usable than the Corpse Dragon King, its combat power is considerable. Fortunately, the Firefly Sac itself is a cultivation space, which can effectively make up for the consumption problem, which can be regarded as making up for an obvious flaw. .
And he seems to have many choices, but the actual situation is before him. If he wants to easily complete this journey, his choice is self-evident.
What's more important is that the Dap Ghost Bug is now within reach!
This will allow the fire sac to form effective combat power as quickly as possible, instead of leaving it in the portable space and gathering dust.
After entering and scanning casually, Chen Ziyan knew that they were very lucky and had reached the last floor of the nine-story demon building.
The space on this floor is very empty, with only a stone platform in the center, and two fist-sized crystal balls placed on it.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, these two crystal balls emit brilliant light, and the naturally formed star maps on them can be clearly seen.
Perhaps in the eyes of other people who came in later, these two crystal balls were just valuable funerary objects, but in the eyes of Chen Ziyan, who knew the inside story, these two crystal balls were regarded as the treasures of this nine-story building to him now. The most valuable thing in the demon building.
You must know that the Dapu Ghost Insect is said to be a mysterious power that only the Ghost Mother can control. It has two completely different forms: Infinite Karma Fire and Neqiong Divine Ice. These two forms can also transform into each other, and these two crystal balls This is the key to conversion.
Chen Ziyan is not sure whether this transformation can be controlled independently, so he must not give up these two crystal balls if he plans to cultivate Dapu ghost insects.
"This is a good thing. You guys can just watch it here, and let me do the chores!"
After Wang Kaixuan saw these two gleaming crystal balls, his little eyes immediately straightened up, and he immediately asked Miao to get them.
However, as soon as he took a step forward, he was stopped by Chen Ziyan who was standing in front of him.
"This thing is useful to me. Fatty, you should wait until next time."
After finishing speaking, Chen Ziyan ignored Wang Kaixuan, who looked at him sadly, and stepped forward to put the two crystal balls into his portable space.
This kind of thing is most reassuring if it is safe in the pocket. It is not safe if it is handled by one person.
After putting away the crystal ball, Chen Ziyan did not forget the business and pretended to accidentally discover that the stone platform below could be moved.
After he told what he had discovered, Shirley Yang immediately stepped forward to check. After circling the stone platform twice, Shirley Yang nodded to Chen Ziyan and said that no problem was found.
Chen Ziyan nodded in response, then grabbed the edge of the stone platform with both hands and pushed it aside.
After the stone platform was removed, a frozen earth pit with neat edges was revealed, with a crystal clear crystal statue erected in the center of the pit.
I don’t know what kind of material this crystal statue is made of, but its entire body is densely covered with layers of water-like natural textures.
However, everyone did not pay much attention to the material of the crystal statue, but focused on the shape of the statue.
This is an armored god general with a wolf head and body. The ferocious wolf head wears a white helmet, silver armor and white robes. He holds a silver tassel spear and looks like he is jumping down in the air. The posture looks majestic.
"Is this the legendary Crystal Zizi Mountain?" Shirley Yang whispered after seeing the wolf-headed demon statue.
When a statue with such an image appeared in such a place, and it was still made of crystal, the first thing she thought of was this legendary demon.
"Is this the devil wolf god? Why does he look like a monster?" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but complain.
He felt that the thing in front of him looked just like the monsters in Journey to the West, and it didn't look like a demon at all.
"The poems circulated by the Enemy-Conquering Orb King once mentioned that the silver demon slave White Wolf King, named Crystal Zizaishan, led an army of demon wolves to devour all intruders." Shirley Yang said.
She said that the statue with a wolf head and human body appearing here must be the legendary Crystal Freedom Mountain.
At this time, the newly joined Chen Wenjin also said: "I have seen relevant descriptions in the early myths and legends of the Snowy Land. It is said that Crystal Zizai Mountain was a giant white wolf when he was alive, and was the descendant of all the evil wolves in Kunlun Mountain. Ancestor, after being beheaded by Master Padmasambhava, his body turned into an iceberg crystal stone."
Although her words were a little abrupt, she succeeded in getting the desired effect.
As the saying goes, an expert will know if something is there as soon as he takes action.
Although it is just a myth and legend, it cannot be said without special research.
After all, the specialness of this side of the Snowy Land lies there, as can be seen by looking at the scattered information collected by Lei Xianming.
"Fat man, don't move!"
At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly shouted.
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to realize that Wang Kaixuan had descended into the frozen soil pit at some point and was about to reach out and touch the statue of Crystal Freedom Mountain.
After Wang Kaixuan "clawed" on the cliff, Shirley Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't move, everyone. Many materials have mentioned that the Crystal Freedom Mountain contains the terrifying curse left by the demon slave. If it is destroyed, It’s very possible that something ominous will happen.”
Hearing what Shirley Yang said, Wang Kaixuan withdrew his hands and hurriedly climbed out of the frozen soil pit, away from the statue in Crystal Zizi Mountain.
Regarding things like curses, several of them were afraid of snake bites once and for ten years, and would not touch them if they could.
Chen Ziyan and Huo Ling, who were standing behind, saw the cryptic attitude of several people and rolled their eyes in unison.
Although they are very curious, they are all smart people and know when to be curious and when not to be curious.
"Everyone, be careful." Chen Ziyan also said at this time.
He agreed very much with Shirley Yang's words, but he knew that in this nine-story monster building, not only the statue in front of him, but also the spirit caps on each floor were filled with something fishy.
Considering the consequences of the original plot, he felt that this was probably a special energy mechanism, but he had no way and didn't want to verify it, so he didn't mention it.
Anyway, they were just passing through here, so as long as they didn't touch those things, they would be fine.
"Eh? Look under the statue!"
At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly pointed at Crystal Zizi at the bottom of the mountain and said.
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed and found that there was no base under the statue, or rather there was no conventional base, but an oval crystal ball as the base.
From their perspective, the crystal ball looked like an eyeball embedded in its socket.
After discovering this, Shirley Yang immediately felt happy.
The eyeball is the iconic totem of the ghost cave, which shows that they are not looking in the wrong place.
When everyone got to the edge of the permafrost pit and took a closer look, they discovered that there was a mercury-like substance flowing slowly inside the crystal shell.
When the flashlight beam swept over the crystal ball, Chen Ziyan and the others saw an almost transparent female corpse placed inside.
The body was transparent as a whole, except for the chest cavity, which had a different light. Judging from the location, it should be where the heart, liver, lungs and other internal organs were.
However, due to the obstruction of the crystal layer outside, they could only see this, and could not see more detailed situations at all.
"There may be a special form of liquid crystal wrapped here, and it looks like a person only because of the optical effect."
Shirley Yang felt that the things inside might be the same as the statues in Crystal Zizi Mountain, something with a stronger symbolic meaning.
After all, a transparent corpse is too incredible!
Although the others did not agree immediately, they did not dispute her opinion because they also felt that this thing was probably not a real corpse.
】
Only Chen Ziyan knew best that there was really a corpse inside...the legendary glacier crystal corpse!
