Tomb of Impermanence Chapter 26: Escape from the Ice Lake

After a while, the swirling whirlpool had formed ice, forming a large icicle in the center of the ice room, and the center of the icicle was empty, just covering the stone table and Bai Wuyan, Ah Lu, and Zhu Zizhen. From the icicle, a stunning girl in a lake-colored dress slowly floated down and gently landed on the stone table. The three of them looked at each other, wasn't this the girl Ah Xi by the ice lake before!

I saw the girl Ah Xi fall on the stone table, smiled lightly at Bai Wuyan and the other three, and said, "Just now I was about to follow the three into the cave, but I never thought that the ice rock would freeze on its own and reseal the entrance of the cave. I'm isolated outside the cave, anxious, and thinking about how I'm going to get you out. Now I'm finally seeing you again!"

Bai Wuyan and the three of them were stunned, Ah Lu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Miss Ah Xi, we couldn't find you just now, and we were stuck in an ice cave, and we thought we were about to die." How did you find out about us and come up with a way to save us?"

The girl Ah Xi smiled mysteriously and said, "This is not the place to talk, you go out with me." He glanced at the sleeping rat again, and said, "This is the ice beast you wanted, and you have finally found it! Let's take it out together!" He pointed to the center of the vortex above his head, the ice cave formed by hollow icicles.

Zhu Zizhen saw the girl Ah Xi appear to rescue, and his heart was grateful and happy, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you girl for rescuing us!

Ah Xi said: "You're welcome" leaned over and picked up the sleeping ice beast, and said: "I have an ancestral water droplet, this is under the ice lake, we can use the buoyancy of the lake to get out." ”

I saw her spit out a pearl as white as jade from her mouth, holding it in the palm of her hand, holding the bead in one hand, holding the cold ice beast in the other, and her dress fluttering, like a fairy. The three of them suddenly felt a pool of lake water surging under their feet, the lake water was like a fountain, spraying upwards in an instant, and Ah Xi took Bai Wuyan and the three of them like this, stepped on the water column, rose higher and higher, and came out of the ice room. But seeing the flowing lake around him, he once again formed a whirlpool, revolving around the four people, but not a drop of water splashed on his body. The four of them stepped on the water splash, as if riding the wind and waves, and walked out of the water!

When they came to the lake, the three of them finally calmed down and let out a long breath.

The girl Ah Xi put away the water-repellent bead again, still holding the ice beast in her arms, and said, "It's okay now, it's done!"

Zhu Zizhen was very happy, and said humbly to the girl Ah Xi: "Ah Xi girl, we almost blamed you, and thought that you deliberately tricked us into the ice cave and wanted to freeze us to death!"

Ah Xi smiled and said, "No wonder, you and I don't know each other, and in this cold and desperate situation, some misunderstandings are inevitable." ”

Ah Lu said: "Miss Xi, then you tell us what's going on." ”

Ah Xi said softly: "Just now I was separated from you by a hole, and I was very anxious in my heart, and suddenly I thought of the cold ice beast you mentioned. Why is this valley surrounded by glaciers, but warm as spring? It is not because of the climate of the North Ice Ridge, it is precisely because the ice beast has the natural miracle of repelling cold, the ice lake can be turned into lake water here, there must be an ice beast hiding at the bottom of the lake, with its own powerful method of repelling cold, the ice lake melts, and flowers and plants breed around the lakeside, and the warmth melts. I thought it was because of the unique climate of the Arctic Ridge, but I didn't think it was because of the Ice Beast!"

Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Bai Wuyan and said, "I thought of this reason, so I immediately took out the family heirloom water beads, jumped into the lake, and looked around for the hiding place of the ice beast. After looking for a long time, I finally found a place in the middle of the bottom of the lake, the lake water is particularly warm, like a hot spring, I thought that this must be the lair of the ice beast below, so I went to dig the bottom of the lake, but I didn't expect that the soil in that part has been heated for a long time, and the soil is extremely soft. I immediately sacrificed the heirloom to block the water of the lake, and then I saw you standing in the ice chamber at the bottom of the lake, and found the ice beast. Finally I'll jump into the ice and get you out!"

Ah Lu said: "I see. Ah Xi, you are so angry!"

Bai Wuyan didn't say a word, listening to what Ah Xi said, the front and back were clear and reasonable, and he unconsciously said: "Look at what the girl Ah Xi said, it doesn't seem to be false, am I really wrong to blame her? If she deliberately wants to harm people, since she has led us into the ice cave, why bother so much to save people?"

The more Bai Wuyan looked at the girl Ah Xi, the more unpredictable he felt.

Ah Xi smiled lightly and said, "Since it's done, then let's go to the Soul Interception Ridge to meet the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts." ”

Zhu Zizhen and Ah Lu both applauded happily, and Ah Lu asked: "Ah Xi, we have worked hard to get up this valley, you have lived here for a long time, do you know that there is a shortcut down the mountain?"

Ah Xi said: "Don't look at the cold peaks and cliffs of the North Ice Ridge, it is difficult for birds to cross, but we have a cold ice beast, this glacier and snow ridge is not difficult for us at all!" I saw her holding the ice beast in her arms, jumping over, the ice and snow melted under her feet wherever she went, and the warmth was full, and it quickly spread to a radius of several miles around her body.

Zhu Zizhen and Ah Lu were amazed and followed closely behind Ah Xi.

I saw Ah Xi take out the water bead again, and the lotus step moved lightly, stepping into the glacier, the river automatically spread out to both sides, and a splash in the middle supported everyone along the direction of the glacier backwards, and floated out towards the mouth of the valley. Halfway up the mountain, the glacier turns to the east, four people leave the glacier, climb the hillside, only to see from this hillside to look out, you can see the whole picture of the North Ice Ridge Valley, the snow is covered on the middle of the mountain, but the grass and trees are forest below the mountainside, one up and down two seasons, it is really a wonder.

Everywhere the ice beast went, it was no longer cold. The four of them went down the North Ice Ridge very smoothly.

The girl Ah Lu liked the ice beast very much, and kept coming over to stroke its fur, which was very comfortable, but the ice beast was still asleep.

Ah Lu said: "Is this ice beast sick, why has it been sleeping?"

Zhu Zizhen said: "Could it be that in the cold climate, it has entered a state of hibernation? ”

A trace of sadness suddenly flashed in the eyes of the girl Ah Xi, and she said leisurely: "I have been in the North Ice Ridge for so long, and I haven't seen a few ice beasts, this is the one I saw a month ago, and it may be the last ice beast in the world." It slept like this, it might be really sick. Reaching out and stroking the back of the ice beast, infinite pity.
