Chapter 292: Ice Seal Treasure Chest
The thing Qin Ling picked up was the item of his mission this time, the Frost Star, but it was not exploded from the monster, but some materials scattered inside the iceberg.
This material is very peculiar and can be collected directly without any subclass, and it looks like a five-pointed star made of ice, emitting an ice-blue light.
After picking it up, Qin Ling also checked the introduction of this Frost Star.
Frost Star: A type of ice crystals formed by condensing ice to resemble stars, which can only be found in places where temperatures are extremely low all year round. It has a very cold power.
The introduction didn't say what exactly this thing did, but Qin Ling didn't need to know, he only needed to collect a hundred now.
It's not big, it's about the size of a thumb's belly, and it's hard to find inside this iceberg. If you don't look closely, you may not be able to see it at your feet.
Not only that, this thing still looks very rare, and after walking for a long time, Qin Ling just picked up the first one. Of course, it is also possible that he missed a lot of Frost Stars in his previous journey.
Anyway, since the quest item was found here, Qin Ling was relieved. A hundred seemed like a lot, but it was only a matter of time before he did. And the last thing he lacks now is time.
……
Then, Qin Ling also began to gradually look for the Ice Frost Star inside this intricate, labyrinth-like iceberg, although the number is indeed not very large, but it can't stand the entire iceberg, only Qin Ling is looking for this kind of thing.
With such a huge iceberg, it is not difficult to find a hundred Frost Stars, as long as you are patient enough.
I think when he first came here, he saw a very powerful lord-level boss named Frozen Queen, but because he used the Horn of the Dead to summon a group of undead creatures, the lord-level boss was directly killed by the undead creatures that suddenly appeared.
And now, there are no undead creatures in sight inside this iceberg, and it is estimated that the group of guys have also left here. Even in this iceberg, Qin Ling didn't even see a boss.
It wasn't until late evening that Qin Ling could be regarded as having collected a full hundred Frost Stars, almost turning the entire iceberg. The monster inside didn't pose much of a threat to him, but this little thing was really too hard to find.
At this time, Qin Ling was standing in an unknown cave inside the iceberg, extending in all directions, and he didn't know which way to leave here.
Of course, after all the mission items are gathered, Qin Ling doesn't need to go back the same way, just use the return skills. However, where he was at this time, there was a layer of transparent ice under his feet, and he could clearly see what was below him.
If he could only see the rocks or the ground below, then Qin Ling wouldn't care so much. But at this time, he did see a treasure chest under the ice that also looked like it was made of ice, which looked very strange.
The entire chest is ice blue, but at the top of the chest, there is some in-game human language. Due to the ice, Qin Ling could only see these words, but he couldn't see what they were at all.
Being able to encounter such a treasure chest, it is a bit unlikely that Qin Ling will give up directly. And he didn't plan to give up at all, but the ice below looked very weak, but it was actually very thick, and it was not easy to break through it.
Then, Qin Ling also tried it on the spot with his staff, although these ice layers are also part of the game scene, they can be broken, at least Qin Ling can break them now. Although the speed can be quite slow, as long as it can be broken, it is only a matter of time before you can get to the chest below.
Next, Qin Ling used his staff as a melee weapon, and used all his strength to keep beating above the ice.
About an hour later, Qin Ling panted and looked at an ice pit that had been carved out by him, and he couldn't help but want to wipe the sweat from his head.
Although, you won't sweat in the game. But this was indeed a physical job, and it also made Qin Ling feel tired for a while.
However, the result was good, as he could clearly see the words carved on the top of the chest.
"Seal this thing in it with the power of ice, and hope that future generations who find this thing will be able to continue to keep it here and continue to seal it. It must not be opened lightly, or there will be an unexpected danger that will sweep over humanity. ”
The text is not very long, but it has a full sense of warning.
At this time, Qin Ling also smiled disdainfully, since he didn't plan to let others find out, was there any need to write out so many paragraphs in one fell swoop? It is better to bury it deeper so that no one will find out.
Then, Qin Ling also began to clean up the ice around the box, and it took more than ten minutes for him to take out this half-human-high treasure chest from the ice.
After taking it out, Qin Ling didn't rush back, but was thinking about how to open the box.
This chest just looked like it was made of cold ice from the inside of the ice, and it was indeed the case now, but what made Qin Ling feel a little helpless was that there didn't seem to be any gaps on this treasure chest, it seemed to be a whole block of ice, it was tightly sealed, and the so-called lid didn't seem to be able to open at all.
And the ice cubes used to make this box are not transparent, so you can't see what's inside.
Looking at this big ice mound, Qin Ling also hated itchy, since he didn't want to be discovered, wouldn't it be good to bury it deeper? But since it was discovered, but it didn't give a way to open it, isn't it redundant?
After checking around this treasure chest for a long time, Qin Ling couldn't find any way to open it at all, and he couldn't even do it if he wanted to destroy it by force.
"Ding......
"The Ice Seal Chest cannot be forcibly destroyed by external forces, please find an appropriate way to open the treasure chest."
The system prompt that suddenly came to mind also made Qin Ling even more helpless, and it seemed that he couldn't open this treasure chest for the time being.
Generally, after encountering such a situation, Qin Ling's first choice is to find NPCs, and he also has to find those guys who are not ordinary in the NPC, such as Marion.
After performing the return skills on the spot, Qin Ling also returned to Heavenly Wind City in an instant. Then, he also rushed to Marion's laboratory without stopping.
At this time, in Marion's laboratory, he was still using his ice power to suppress the burning man Raflu, preventing him from breaking free from the ice seal.
When Marion saw Qin Ling, who was in a hurry, he couldn't help but light up and asked, "Have you found everything?" ”
"Found it, a hundred Frost Stars." Qin Ling said, and also took out all the collected Frost Stars from his backpack and put them on a table.
Looking at these frost stars, Marion also laughed and said, "Boy, good job!" ”
"By the way, I have a question and would like to ask you......"
"I'll talk about this nonsense later, I'll deal with these things first." Marion said directly, and no longer bothered with Qin Ling, but with a wave of his hand, he rolled up all the Frost Stars and floated in the air.
Seeing this scene, Qin Ling also grinned, although he was very dissatisfied, he still didn't say anything, stood aside and watched all this.
After a while, under Marion's control, all the frost stars began to melt gradually, forming layers of white mist, but after a while, these mists also coalesced together again, forming a larger thing, but this time it was no longer in the shape of a five-pointed star, but outside of Love Road, it turned into something like a refrigerator, completely freezing him inside.
The whole process lasted about ten minutes, and it was not until all the Frost Stars were turned into refrigerators outside Love Road by Marion.
At this time, Lover Road had been completely sealed in a layer of ice that looked very weak, and it was impossible to move. It seems to be similar to the previous appearance, but it is not the same either.
"Okay, are you okay?" Marion asked.
Qin Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Of course there is, do you have a way to open this thing?" ”
As he spoke, Qin Ling also took out the Ice Seal Treasure Chest he had obtained earlier from his backpack and placed it directly in front of Marion.
Looking at this treasure chest, Marion's face also changed drastically, and he looked at Qin Ling incredulously.
"Where did you get this thing from?!" Marion asked hurriedly.
Qin Ling was also a little unclear, so he said, "I found it by chance in the iceberg where I was looking for the Frost Star. ”
"Did you find it by chance? Sure enough, these five seals ......" Marion glanced at Qin Ling with a complicated face, and then sighed: "The Ice Seal Treasure Chest was sealed in an unknown place a long, long time ago, and if it wasn't for a specific person, it would be impossible to find this treasure chest." ”
"A specific person? Me? Qin Ling asked strangely, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him! Does the so-called specific person really mean himself?
"Who knows. However, it is indeed not easy to open this treasure chest. When Marion said this, his face also became strange.
"Is there anything you need or can you do it?" Qin Ling hurriedly asked.
There is a treasure chest in his hand, if he can't open it all the time, then he is indeed quite uncomfortable, as long as he can open it, he can still bear it at some cost. Moreover, he also had a feeling that the things sealed in this treasure chest had a lot to do with him.
