Chapter Seventy-Nine: Saved
"Brother Allen, are we going to die here?"
After Elvis and the three of them left, the entire ice room immediately became extremely deserted, the two elves were not good at words, and Stanny didn't talk much, and finally Miranda broke the silence first, although she couldn't see, but there was always Stanny as an eye, and she was still very clear about the situation they were in.

"No, we're waiting for the dragon to arrive. ā
Alan raised his hand and straightened the little girl's messy sideburns.
"But we've been waiting for a long time, will the dragon still come?"
Alan had used this excuse many times, saying the same thing many times, so that the little girl had to doubt his words.
"Believe me, my dear, the dragon will come. If you're feeling bored, practice meditation and you might be able to help when the dragon comes. ā
Alan finished arranging the little girl's hair, touched her head, and said softly.
"Hmm! I believe Brother Allen's words. ā
The little girl nodded her little head and agreed.
In the next few days, there was no movement in the box, several people were practicing separately, the temperature around them was very low, and when they felt unbearable cold, they would get up and exercise to warm up their bodies, Stanny looked for Sergei and Fresnel to practice swords, and after more than ten days, the box was still in the groove and did not move, Elvis did not come back, I don't know how his hole was played, this time even Stanny was too lazy to move, everyone gathered around the heating magic array to keep warm, the entire ice room was dead silent, as if it was like a tomb that had been closed for thousands of years, in fact, this is really a tomb, there are frozen dead bodies everywhereWhen Alan was bored, he studied almost all the corpses, but he found nothing more than that the corpses were described as withered and emaciated, which further verified that they were starved to death.
"Maybe in a few days, I'll be like them. ā
Alan sighed in his heart. He had thought of countless possible encounters before he came, imagined being attacked by a dragon, and even imagined dying under the dragon's claws, but he never imagined that they would be trapped in the belly of the mountain and starved to death.
If he had listened to Steven's words, maybe he wouldn't have to let everyone fall into an unprecedented desperate situation with him, Alan finally regretted it a little, but if he did everything again, would he really be able to change his mind?
"Brother Allen, did you say that Brother El has already opened the passage below?"
"Brother Alan, do you think the dragon will easily agree to send us tears?"
"Brother Allen, guess how many treasures are in this box. ā
In the first few days, Stanny and the little girl often asked this and that, and in the past two days, they have asked less and less, but the little girl has become more and more dependent on Allen, and she has to hold Allen even when she sleeps. The feeling of powerlessness and the feeling of having nothing to do makes everyone's spirit suffer, even the two elves who have always believed that the elven god will come to the rescue are not as calm as before, and often hear Sergei's sigh, Fresnel sometimes looks blankly at the little girl snuggled next to Allen, not knowing what she is thinking.
"After eating this food, we are ready to go down to meet Elvis, who should have opened the passage and is waiting for us to go down. ā
Alan took out the last bit of jerky and gave it to Stanny and Miranda, and he gave up the idea of waiting any longer, and decided to leave this hellish place that gave them hope but made them despair, and went down to fight Elvis, even if they died, they would die together.
But Alan didn't know that Elvis was not in a much better situation than he was at this time.
Elvis and they went down very quickly, it only took more than a day to reach the bottom, in the passage sealed by the boulder, what they saw was very disappointing to see, just as Alan had expected, the passage was still firmly blocked by the boulder, if they wanted to get out, they could only make a hole in the boulder.
Elvis spent more than ten days tentatively using quicksand magic to make a few holes, but all failed, because the hardness of the rock was very high, he spent half a day of mental power, only to create a two-foot deep hole, at this rate, before he could make a passage, he would die of exhaustion. Elvis had no choice, though. While Bloom and Harvey were fretting in vain for another way out, he didn't give up, chose a position that he thought might be the closest, and made a hole nearly five steps deep, and finally he struck the stone wall with a blunt object, and the sound was still thick and showed no sign of opening. Bloom and Harvey also didn't find a way out, and with food running out, they didn't have time to keep trying.
"Let's go back, maybe Alan has found a way out. ā
The three of them sat on the stone steps dejectedly and discussed, and finally Elvis spoke first, he decided to give up, there was no way out of this place, the mechanism set up by the Agu family and the dragon hundreds of years ago was invulnerable.
"Let's go back, Alan always thinks of a way in the last moments. ā
Bloom nodded and said, he hasn't completely lost hope, just like the previous mission, Alan is always everyone's last straw, I hope this time Alan and the straw are still thick enough.
"I trust Uncle Allen, he won't let us down!"
Harvey followed suit and said that trust in Alan had become the only belief that sustained the three of them back on the top ice room.
"Alan, we're back. ā
Three days later, Elvis shouted a little tiredly as the three of them climbed the last step back up the stairs and saw the entrance to the topmost ice chamber with the help of the light of the magic array.
To the surprise of the three of them, there was a dead silence in the ice room, and there was no answer. The hearts of the three people hung in the air, could it be that Alan had run out of food and couldn't hold on. Despite their fatigue, they rushed up the last flight of steps in three steps and entered the ice room.
"Alan!"
"Alan!"
"Alan!"
The three of them shouted in a panic, but the ice room did not react at all except for the cold and faint light reflected.
"Look for it, see... Look at them there. ā
Elvis was breathing quickly and choked up, and he looked around, there were many dark shadows near the four walls of the ice chamber, and those were the corpses of the treasure guards, and now Alan and they were likely to be one of them.
"Wait. El, you come and see, there's a lot of crushed ice here. ā
Bloom shouted anxiously, Elvis walked over in despair, suddenly felt a collision under his feet, a chaotic noise, looked down, the ground was actually full of broken ice, he was shocked, raised his head in surprise, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw that the icicles that had been standing here had been broken, and the exposed core was shining.
"Alan didn't let us down, he found a way out and we were saved. ā
Elvis muttered to himself, he was completely stunned by the scene before him.
