1716 Ice Nematode! Ancient Structures Within The Ice Creva.s.se! (4)
Yuan Bai and Tong En exchanged glances with each other.
“Let me do it.” Yuan Bai’s expression remained unchanged as a huge s.h.i.+eld suddenly appeared in his hand. He slammed it into the ground and shouted.
Boom!
A crimson glow instantly erupted on the giant s.h.i.+eld, forming several illusory flame s.h.i.+elds that completely enveloped them from all sides, leaving no gaps.
The Ice Nematodes were blocked outside. They landed on the s.h.i.+eld’s surface, producing a series of “ding ding ding” sounds!
The surface of the s.h.i.+eld s.h.i.+mmered with flames, and the Ice Nematodes were instantly killed.
These Ice Nematodes were strange but their weakness was obvious too. They were afraid of fire.
As long as the right solution was used, they could deal with them easily.
The people behind the s.h.i.+eld heaved sighs of relief.
“Quick, help them remove the ice,” Bi Yao said hurriedly.
Yuan Bai and Tong En were experienced. They took charge of one person each and immediately killed the Ice Nematodes embedded in the bodies of Qin Quan and Pilder. The ice was removed.
“Sigh.” Qin Quan let out a long sigh. His expression was bitter. “This is the second time. d.a.m.n it, are these bugs targeting me?”
“Hahaha, Little Quan Quan, you’re so pitiful.” Tong En laughed uncontrollably.
“They failed to hurt your bottom half twice. You’re extremely lucky.” Bi Yao patted his shoulder and teased him.
“Shut up!” Qin Quan’s face turned black.
“What should we do now? There are so many bugs outside. We can’t move forward at all,” Wei Na said.
“Kill them then.” Bi Yao’s gaze turned sharp. He said to Yuan Bai and Tong En, “I’ll have to trouble the two of you this time.”
“It’s nothing. We agreed to split the gains according to workload so we’re more than willing to help.” Tong En waved her hand and chuckled.
Yuan Bai’s eyes gleamed. He didn’t refuse either.
Before they came, they agreed that if they found any treasures, they would divide them based on each person’s contribution. This was just the right time for them to pitch in.
Also, after understanding the true nature of the creatures, they weren’t as afraid anymore.
Fear stems from the unknown!
Now that they knew the creatures were vulnerable to fire, dealing with them would be a breeze.
“Be careful. Don’t break the ice around you,” Wei Na said.
“Don’t worry. We tried it before. Normal flames won’t be able to melt the ice here,” Bi Yao said.
“Then we can do whatever we want.”
Yuan Bai and Tong En exchanged glances with each other. Then, they attacked at the same time. Flames swept out and killed all the Ice Nematodes around them.
So many attribute bubbles! w.a.n.g Teng hid in the s.p.a.ce fissure and smiled brightly.
After killing a large number of Ice Nematodes, the ground beneath them was filled with attribute bubbles. What a windfall of rewards!
My turn to collect them!
Constellation Force (Ice)*400
Ice Thread Needle*120
Blank Attribute*450
Constellation Force (Ice)*650
Ice Thread Needle*150
Blank Attribute*600
…
There was nothing to say about the constellation Ice Force. w.a.n.g Teng had already reached the perfected stage for that.
Upon picking up the attribute bubbles of the Ice Thread Needle, w.a.n.g Teng’s proficiency rapidly increased. He effortlessly transcended the foundation stage and soared straight pa.s.sed the well-versed stage to the specialized stage!
Two levels in a row!
Ice Thread Needle: 3600/5000 (specialized)
After reaching the specialized stage, w.a.n.g Teng was able to release the Ice Thread Needle with ease. Its power was truly remarkable.
If he were to use the Nether Frost to activate this skill, it would be even more terrifying than the Ice Nematode. Even a heaven-stage martial warrior would be incapacitated for quite some time if they got hit.
Ordinary flames wouldn’t be able to melt the Nether Frost. This was the tricky part.
A wild grin spread across w.a.n.g Teng’s lips when he thought about this.
Lastly, there was the Blank Attribute. Each Ice Nematode only dropped a few hundred points of blank attributes, their sheer numbers allowed w.a.n.g Teng to acc.u.mulate several thousand points of blank attributes.
However, he didn’t pay much attention to it at the moment. His gaze was fixated on what lay ahead.
Bi Yao, Wei Na, and the others dealt with the Ice Nematodes while moving forward.
They remained cautious and did not disperse the s.h.i.+eld protection. Instead, they advanced within the s.h.i.+eld.
Along the way, they slaughtered a large number of Ice Nematodes without stopping. It was as if the Ice Nematodes were the guardians of this place and wanted to obstruct their progress.
But, it was useless.
With the help of the two fire-element martial warriors, these Ice Nematodes were unable to break their s.h.i.+elds.
The five of them advanced slowly within the s.h.i.+eld, taking numerous twists and turns. Soon, they lost track of how much time had pa.s.sed. The ice crystals ahead became increasingly dense, resembling a crystalline palace.
Suddenly, the five martial artists came to an abrupt halt.
There was a ma.s.sive ice wall in front of them.
What is this? w.a.n.g Teng’s pupils constricted violently in surprise when he saw the ice wall.
“Gasp!”
At the same time, Wei Na, Bi Yao, and the others saw what was behind the ice wall and gasped.
“Structures?!”
“Why are there structures here?”
The five martial warriors were filled with disbelief. They stared at the structures behind the ice wall with wide eyes as if they saw a ghost.
An expanse of structures exuding an ancient and rustic style, lay frozen within the ice, like a segment of history locked away by time.
w.a.n.g Teng’s gaze s.h.i.+mmered.
Structures within the chaos?
This was impossible!
This realm of chaos had yet to give rise to civilization. How could buildings exist here? It was simply not scientifically plausible.
“Bi Yao, what’s going on?” Wei Na swallowed her saliva and turned around to ask.
“I don’t know. This is my first time walking so far and seeing this ice wall.” Bi Yao stared at the ice wall absentmindedly.
When he came here with his companions the previous time, he didn’t even complete a third of the journey. How could he see this ice wall?
“It’s said that many peculiar things are drifting in the dimensional rifts. The chaos is constantly evolving so numerous dimensional rifts will appear. Hence, the things inside the dimensional rifts will quickly flow into chaos. Could this cl.u.s.ter of buildings have arrived in such a manner?” Tong En suddenly said.
“Tong En, who did you hear this from?” Wei Na asked in surprise.
“My sister, Tong Ya. Who else can it be?” Tong En said.
“Indeed, it’s your sister. She’s on the universe G.o.ddess rank, right?” Wei Na said.
“Haha, it seems like my sister is quite famous.” Tong En chuckled.
Bi Yao, Qin Quan, and Pilder were no strangers to Tong Ya, who was on the universe G.o.ddess rank. Their gaze was filled with admiration and fondness.
“Your sister is the idol of many female students.” Bi Yao smiled.
“Sigh, as her younger sister, I’m under a lot of pressure.” Tong En sighed.
Bi Yao and the others were speechless.
If they didn’t know Tong En, they might have believed her.
She loved her sister so much, what pressure could she have?
She was proud to have such a sister.
“If Senior Sister Tong Ya said it, it’s possible.” Qin Quan went back to the main topic.
“Indeed.” Wei Na nodded.
“My sister also mentioned that if these structures were wandering within the dimensional rifts, they could very well be ancient structures, and there might be some great discoveries awaiting us,” Tong En blinked her eyes playfully and said with a smile.
“Ancient structures? They might have some legacies.” Everyone’s eyes lit up.
Ancient structures!
Legacy!
w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes lit up when he heard their conversation.
Following these people was a great idea. Not only could he let them lead the way, but he could also freeload on their useful knowledge.
I’m so smart!
