Through previous observations, it seems that only the cold ice island in front of us is special. This is not the case in other nearby sea areas. The temperature is indeed very low, but it is far from cold.
Why is this so?
Mo Juren couldn't help but guess that there must be some unknown secret in this cold island, which made the island behave in such a strange situation.
He thought of some possibility, maybe there is something similar to Xuanbing mineral veins on the island, or even Xuanyu, which can naturally form such an island.
If this is really the case, then you will make a lot of money this time. If you have the chance, you will definitely dig into it. .
But on second thought, this possibility should be unlikely. After all, only extremely cold environments can produce black ice veins, but the reverse won't work.
"Could it be some kind of treasure?" But at this moment, Yin Yue's voice suddenly came from his mind. It was obvious that the other party had guessed what he was thinking.
"Treasure?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised,
"What level of treasure can have such power? Turning the entire island into an iceberg?"
"It's most likely some kind of rare ice-attributed treasure. I don't know what it is. But since you're here, you might as well explore it. You might get something unexpected."
"It makes sense." Mo Juren nodded. However, the matter has its own severity. Saving people is naturally the first priority. However, he cannot act recklessly. He needs to understand the situation more before taking action.
Take back your thoughts and continue to explore.
In order to rescue Xu Qingcheng this time, in addition to the strict formation barrier, the guardians on the island are equally important.
He wasn't afraid of anyone, even the ninth-level monster martial arts mentioned by Zhui Yue, he didn't take it to heart. However, this is to save people after all, not to be brave and ruthless. Strength alone is not enough.
He must take the lead in ensuring Xu Qingcheng's safety. Therefore, it is best not to alert the island's guardians before rescuing the other party. As for saving the other party, it doesn't matter what happens again.
After some investigation, it has been basically determined that there are a total of nine strong people in the transformation stage. The strongest one is in the second stage of transformation, and he should be Wu Gan, the Lord of Ice Prison.
In addition to these nine, there are many other monsters on the island, including seventh-level, sixth-level, fifth-level, etc., evenly distributed throughout the island.
If his guess is correct, once an unexpected situation occurs, these low-level monsters are also a force that cannot be underestimated.
Mo Juren couldn't help but be a little surprised by such a large-scale defense. At least it is almost impossible to rescue him from above. Fortunately, he can escape from the ground and is not affected for the time being.
The Jiaolong clan built this island into an ice prison, so it was impossible to ignore this. The coverage of countless formations on the island had already extended to the ground, making it difficult to move even from below.
But no matter what, it is still much easier to walk from below, at least you don't have to face the siege immediately.
Thinking of this, he stopped delaying and immediately continued to move closer to the island. After a while, he directly switched to escape technique and submerged directly into it.
After entering the island, he discovered that there was not only soil under the entire island, but also a large area of ice. The two were mixed together, so that if he wanted to escape smoothly, he had to switch between earth escape and water escape at all times. Just fine.
To Mo Juren, this was nothing. The march was very smooth, but for the sake of concealment, the speed could not be too fast.
After spending quite a while, he finally reached the central area of the island, where the Ice Prison was located.
After careful investigation, I basically got a general idea of the entire ice prison. It covers a small area and only has about a hundred cells. However, 70% of them have demonic energy fluctuations. Obviously, even though They all imprison different demon clans, and each of them is in the transformation stage.
What made him a little confused was that he had not noticed Xu Qingcheng's aura from beginning to end. And relying on the sense of the blood ban, there is no doubt that the other party is still alive.
Last time in the Xutian Palace and the group, the Blood Restriction had mutated. It was no longer just a blood connection, but had invaded the soul. Since there was such a feeling, it must not be wrong.
But if that's the case, why don't you find the other person?
Could it be?
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he thought of some possibility.
The entire ice prison is nearly a thousand miles in circumference and is quite large, but the real ice prison is only in a certain area in the center, and the rest of the ice prison is just ordinary iceland.
Since the other party is not in the ice prison, will he be held alone somewhere else?
When he thought of this, he immediately changed his mind and immediately planned to expand the search scope. However, at this moment, Yin Yue's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, making him stop.
"Wait a minute, I seem to sense something abnormal."
"Abnormal?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. Although the other party's consciousness was not as good as his own, his perception in some aspects was indeed unique.
"About a thousand feet in front, there was a faint strange aura. Although it was fleeting, I still caught it. I don't know what it was exactly, but it seemed to be somewhat similar to dry blue ice flames."
"What!" After hearing this, Mo Juren immediately lost his composure. If there really is a similar ice flame, it would be a God-given opportunity, and he must get it.
"I'm not completely sure, but after spending tens of thousands of years with dry blue ice flames, I have an extremely keen perception of similar flames, and I'm almost inseparable from it." Yinyue reminded again, paused, and then said,
"You have already refined a trace of dry blue ice flame. As long as you sense it carefully, you can even detect it if you want."
"You'll know if you just take a look, and it's more than a thousand feet away, and it seems to be the core of the ice prison." Mo Juren couldn't help but move in his heart, and without hesitation, he immediately fled forward.
There are countless formations in the ice prison, and the coverage of its power reaches deep into the earth. Therefore, he did not dare to get too close and could only move forward close to the edge.
It wasn't that far away, and soon we arrived. What we saw was a strange space. It was not big, but it was guarded by a layer of light curtain.
Looking in through the light curtain, there is a square high platform inside, with a stone pillar covered with spiritual patterns at each corner. Four spiritual lights shoot out from the top of each stone pillar, and finally converge to the suspended position in the center, where There is a strange ball of ice-blue light suspended in the air.
What's even more special is that the light ball actually extends out a series of strange light strips, directly connected to the formation of the ice prison above. There is even more spiritual light flowing in the light belt, as if it is constantly transporting energy upwards.
"I understand, this is the energy core of the Ice Prison, and it is the key to maintaining the operation of all the ice formations above." Yinyue suddenly understood, and then said through a voice message,
"The cold flame should be inside the ball of light. Only such rare objects can be used by the entire ice prison. I didn't expect that the dragon clan has such a foundation, but it is a pity that it is used like this. It is a waste of natural resources."
"Maybe there are other reasons, but the cold flame is not trivial, and not everyone can refine it. And the demon race is different from the human race, most of them don't rely much on external objects." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, and frowned after a little exploration. Slightly wrinkled,
"This formation is not simple, and there are multiple formations connected together. Even with the strength of my consciousness, I cannot clearly perceive the situation inside the light ball at such a close distance. If I want to take away the cold flame quietly, it is necessary impossible."
"So what? Do you want to give up?"
"Of course not. With such a natural and precious treasure, you can't give up even if you take some risks." Mo Juren did not hesitate at all, paused, and then said,
"There is no rush now. We will wait until we save people."
The plan in his mind was decided, and he immediately turned around and left without any further delay.
In the following time, he once again spent a long time and energy to explore almost half of the entire island.
Huangtian paid off and finally allowed him to find Xu Qingcheng's location.
Of course, there was a special reason for this. When the distance between him and the other party reached more than ten miles, he suddenly sensed the other party's existence.
This had not happened before when the distance was too far. Such an unexpected joy naturally made him feel happy, and it also made the rescue difficulty instantly reduced a lot.
What made him a little strange was that Xu Qingcheng was actually imprisoned in an extremely remote location on the island.
Not in the ice prison, that would be the best.
He couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, what was Wu Gan's purpose for doing this? He was imprisoned for more than twenty years but his life was not taken. Is it for the treasure? Or are there other reasons?
Somewhere underground, Mo Juren couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
At this time, he was more than a thousand feet underground, directly above where Xu Qingcheng was. However, he did not go up to check immediately. The reason was very simple. When he was about to take action, he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching rapidly.
The strength of the second level of transformation must be martial arts.
This sudden change suddenly made Mo Juren frown. How could it be such a coincidence? Could he have noticed something?
If that were the case, that would be troublesome.
Fortunately, the situation was not what he thought. The other party did not release his spiritual consciousness to explore after reaching the top, and it was obvious that he had not discovered his existence.
Thinking of this, he continued to approach upwards. Because of Wu Gan's arrival, he had to slow down his ascent to an extremely slow speed to avoid being sensed by the other party.
In this way, a full quarter of an hour passed before he escaped to a position more than ten feet underground. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue moving forward, but that the road was broken, and there was an icy blue light curtain above his head.
After carefully sensing it, the defense level of the light curtain is not low, but it is obviously not as good as the formation in the Ice Prison. With his strength comparable to that of the late Nascent Soul, it is easy to break through it, but it is easy to break it silently. It's hard to break open. Especially at this moment, Wu Gan is above, and any slight fluctuation in the restriction will be noticed by the opponent in an instant.
"What is Wu Gan doing?" Mo Juren did not act rashly, but let go of a ray of consciousness to explore the situation above with extreme caution. Coincidentally, the above restrictions were not very strong in shielding spiritual consciousness, so everything that happened could not be hidden from his perception.
…
"Am I going to die?" Xu Qingcheng felt that her whole body was cold and her consciousness was blurred. It was not until a familiar sound of footsteps sounded that she slowly opened her eyes.
The familiar scenes of the small, cold, dark stone room, the huge chains passing through her body, and the red talismans on the chains instantly brought her back to reality.
She was not dead yet, but her extreme weakness reminded her that her real death was not far away.
Speaking of which, I am really ill-fated! Since birth, he has been trapped in a small world with his tribe.
At that time, I relied on my excellent qualifications, as well as my extraordinary understanding and perseverance to gradually improve my strength, and finally became the master of the Paradise Palace, but I still couldn't escape and needed to fight against the nightmare all the time.
Until one day, that person suddenly arrived. Not only did he solve the nightmare body, making the tribe's biggest crisis disappear, but he also opened the way to the outside world.
From then on, he and his tribe were finally no longer bound and could freely enter and exit the outside world, and the future would be smoother.
She also became more and more confident. Although she was still controlled by someone, she did not reject him too much. She could see that the guy didn't have a bad personality, but he was easy to get along with, and there was no disadvantage in following him.
What's particularly important is that the talent and potential shown by the other party are terrifying. Following such a being is not a bad thing for yourself or your tribe.
It's a pity that fate always likes to play tricks. When she was full of ambition and full of hope, she gave her a slap in the face and completely knocked her into the dust...
Everything is not important now, but I can't help but have thoughts in my heart. If I die, what will my clansmen do in the future?
And that guy, will he help take care of it for the sake of his relationship with me? Are you even a little sad about your own demise?
Probably not? She is not his woman, she is just a subordinate. With that guy's 'hard-hearted', how can he care about the affairs of outsiders, let alone feel sad.
She suddenly thought of the scene in the Holy Land of Paradise in the past. At that time, she was honest with each other, but the other party was not moved at all. Now that she thinks about it, she is really a bastard who doesn't understand the style...
Perhaps because he was approaching death, thoughts were flooding in Xu Qingcheng's mind at this time, but for some reason, he had so many memories of someone.
"Are you awake?" An old voice suddenly sounded, mixed with extreme coldness, instantly interrupting her thoughts. Looking forward, she saw a very familiar figure, a figure that made her feel filled with hatred, but yet... A helpless existence.
The seventh elder of the Jiaolong clan, the main martial arts officer of Han Iceland, a great demon who has reached the second level of transformation.
What no one knows is that the other party is not just a demon cultivator, but has embarked on the path of a demon cultivator. He imprisoned her for more than twenty years and never took her life, not out of mercy, but because of the pure demon blood in her body.
In the past twenty years, the other party has continuously extracted blood from her body, starting from once every three years, then once every two years, and once a year, for the purpose of practicing magic skills.
Her blood was drawn several times in succession, and the pain and suffering involved was unimaginable. It also made her gradually become numb from the initial fear, anger, etc.
"You have already mastered your magic skills, are you planning to take action in the future?" After sizing up the other party, Xu Qingcheng couldn't help but suddenly said in a cold voice. (End of chapter)
