Chapter 89: Investigating New Discoveries

When the sky was slightly bright, Bai Xiaotu stopped practicing and returned to the dormitory. When she saw that Chen Chong and the wild goose wolf had already gotten up and waited for her, her heart warmed, and she smiled brightly at them. After the three of them prepared breakfast, Alice and Hua Pei also woke up, they greeted the people who were already eating breakfast, and then hurriedly washed up and joined the breakfast army.

The reserved car was already waiting outside the corgis, and after the five got into the car, the driver ordered the Swift Dragon Beast to set off, and the car began to run steadily.

It was noon when they reached the forest to the east, and when they got out of the car, they went straight in, and the coachman drove to a nearby village to wait for the next business. The goose wolf looked at the forest and suddenly said, "It seems that this place is different from the last time I came." Chen Chong and Bai Xiaotu walked to some strangely shaped tree trunks, which were the same as the positions they remembered. The two said that there was no problem, and the goose wolf was also a little skeptical that he felt wrong, so he didn't think much about it, and continued to follow them forward.

It was the first time for Hua Pei to come to this kind of lifeless place, and she felt a little scared, she grabbed the corner of Bai Xiaotu's clothes and walked, the most terrifying thing was that she couldn't even feel the wind here. It stands to reason that the wind shouldn't be everywhere? Bai Xiaotu also had a hard time perceiving the magical elements in this place, and he couldn't even replenish them after a few days, which was really a very strange thing.

Alice didn't go into the woods to see the last time she came, so she didn't think much about it, but she was looking for clues very seriously, and she couldn't let go of any clues.

At this time, Chen Chong called out to everyone, and he seemed to have found something. Bai Xiaotu and Alice hurriedly ran over, but saw Chen Chong pointing to a small jar in an inconspicuous place.

There was some black smoke around the jar, which looked very strange. Alice was about to reach out to touch the jar, but Bai Xiaotu grabbed her hand and shook her head to signal her not to take it directly with her hands. She picked up a dead leaf and placed it above the jar, and the dead leaf slowly fell, shattering the moment it came into contact with the fog. Alice was a little glad that Bai Xiaotu stopped her in time, otherwise she didn't know what would have become of her hand.

"Don't worry, safety first!" Bai Xiaotu looked at the fog on the altar and suddenly thought of something. "Chen Chong, can you freeze the entire jar?" Chen Chong nodded, and cleanly froze the jar into ice, and the black fog around it disappeared immediately. It was the first time Hua Pei had seen real ice magic, and he exclaimed excitedly. It freezes in one fell swoop, so convenient!

Bai Xiaotu threw a dead leaf up again, the dead leaf fell on the ice unharmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Xiaotu picked up the ice cube jar, flipped it and studied, she vaguely saw a circle at the bottom, there seemed to be some pattern in the circle, and she was about to lean over to see it clearly, she heard the goose wolf shouting: "Tu'er! Be careful! Put it down!" Bai Xiaotu did not hesitate and immediately put it down. And the moment she put it down, the ice cracked, and black smoke drifted out of the cracks in the ice. "As soon as you picked it up, it started to smoke coming out of it. Hua Pei looked at the smoke and said with some fear.

Bai Xiaotu looked at the jar, a little helpless, thinking that it was impossible to see the pattern clearly now, everyone discussed for a while, and decided to freeze it again and put it in Bai Xiaotu's storage space, because the time in it would not flow, so the ice would not crack. She asked Chen Chong to freeze it again, and Bai Xiaotu quickly picked up the ice cube jar and put it in the storage space, and the action was done in one go.

"Just now I saw a strange pattern at the bottom of the jar, but before I could see the ice, it was corroded by the black mist. We need to go back and look into it again. The others listened to Bai Xiaotu's description and had no objections, and continued to search the withered forest.
