Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He Qingyuan and a few respected elders were outside helping the City Lord capture Lin Bai, while Yan Hua and the others were seriously injured. It could be said that most of the elite forces in the Alchemist a.s.sociation were not in the a.s.sociation.
There were only a few elders who could take charge at the moment. They made a prompt decision and immediately mobilized people to check on the situation. In order to avoid harming the innocent, they immediately cleared up the disciples who were still lingering nearby.
However, when they rushed over to take a look, everyone was stunned on the spot. They could even stuff an egg into their mouths.
“How, how could this be?”
Everyone could not believe what they were seeing. Many of them rubbed their eyes, thinking that they were hallucinating.
They saw that the mountains in front of them were verdant. Whether it was the ground or the treetops, they were all covered in a layer of light blue ice crystals. The green tree branches were supposed to be like jade, but now, they were covered in blue crystals.
Even the water stains that had not dried up had condensed into a variety of strange ice pillars and other shapes.
Even the ground was no exception. With a layer of thick ice, the entire mountain seemed to have suddenly become the cold extreme north. It did not fit in with the outside world.
One had to know that when they came here, the entire journey was still filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers. The trees were thriving, growing very luxuriously and full of vitality.
However, this was a world that belonged to ice. Everything was frozen in it, as if they were lifelike ice sculptures. It could be said that they were the workmans.h.i.+p of nature.
They were only a few steps away, but there was a world of difference between them and the outside world. They did not know where the cold wind came from. Everyone subconsciously s.h.i.+vered and finally came back to their senses from the shocking scene in front of them.
The previous disciple also showed a confused expression. “When we left, it wasn’t like this…” Towards the end, his voice suddenly became much softer.
When they thought of the time when they left, the temperature had already shown signs of turning cold. It was only because they were in a hurry to leave this d.a.m.n place, so they didn’t appreciate it. If they had left a little slower at that time, would they have become one of the many ice sculptures.
At the thought of this, everyone kept quiet out of fear. An unprecedented chill surged into their hearts, and cold sweat broke out on their backs. They felt as if they had walked back and forth from the gates of h.e.l.l.
“Are you saying that you’ve already experienced fire roasting and water flooding before?”
If the elders had some doubts about what they had said before, but now that they saw the shocking scene in front of them, the doubts in their hearts had long been dispelled.
The few people who led the way hurriedly nodded, feeling as if they had survived a calamity.
Although the others had not seen the scene at that time, it was not difficult to imagine it based on what they had seen now. It was likely a scene that would cause others to be astonished.
Elder Gu formed a seal with his hand. Spiritual light flashed from his fingertip and swiftly rubbed it on his eyes. Immediately, two rays of divine light appeared. Most importantly, there was a crack in the middle of his forehead. Similarly, a spiritual light appeared as if it was a third eye.
His lightning-like gaze landed on the mountain. Any disguise would be unable to hide in front of him. However, Elder Gu’s brows were knitted together.
Everyone knew that this was Elder Gu’s ultimate skill. However, at this moment, there was no relaxed expression on his face. There was only an incomparably grave expression on his face. For a moment, his heart was in his throat.
“Elder Gu, did you discover anything
Elder Gu shook his head. “Even when I opened my heavenly eye, I did not find anything abnormal. Either it’s hidden too well, or this force is too powerful.”
Compared to the first type, Elder Gu was more inclined to the second type. After all, when his heavenly eye swept over, he could feel a faint pressure coming from it. When he went to investigate further, that pressure disappeared without a trace. It was as if it was just an illusion.
At this moment, the temperature in the surroundings became even lower. Even those who had not stepped inside could feel the bone-piercing coldness. They all circulated their spiritual power to resist it.
The light blue ice crystals seemed to have been given life. They began to move and actually began to spread in their direction.
“Everyone, be careful!”
Just as Elder Gu was reminding everyone, the ice crystals gradually receded, as if they were just playing around. Soon, they disappeared into the air, and even the crystals on the trees melted.
Drip, drip, drip. Water kept flowing, so much so that it converged into a small stream on the ground.
Elder Gu sensed a special fluctuation coming from the surroundings, so he hurriedly used his heavenly eye to look over. He could vaguely see a huge and pure energy flowing into the ground in an instant before finally entering the forbidden area.
“It actually has something to do with the forbidden area. Could it be that there’s something new…”
Just as Elder Gu was about to use his heavenly eye to check…
“Boom!”
Aloud sound could be heard. The earth and mountains shook. Everyone could feel the earth beneath their feet shaking. Not too far away, what was even more shocking was that countless mountain rocks had collapsed and sunk into the ground. It was as if they had received some inexplicable power.
Elder Gu hurriedly used his heavenly eye to look over. The huge black turtle covered most of the sky. He could only vaguely see such a shadow. Then, it flashed and disappeared. In an instant, it became incomparably dark.
Sensing that danger was approaching, Elder Gu hurriedly wanted to withdraw his gaze, but it was still too late.
“Ah! My eyes!”
With a scream, Elder Gu covered his eyes and fainted on the ground from the pain. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
The rocks not far away continued to collapse, as if they had been stepped on by some huge creature. Even they found it difficult to keep their bodies steady.
“This place is dangerous. We shouldn’t stay here for long. Let’s retreat now.”
Now Elder Gu’s condition is unknown, they had to leave first and then make plans..
