Chapter Forty-Seven: The Ice Cave
"As long as I can get my hands on the contents of the Vault, I will definitely be able to break through from the second level of concentration to the third level. ”
In the eyes of the frost spirit, Zhu Yi saw a frenzy, he understood very well that this was the frenzy of wanting to get rid of fate and be controlled by others and grasp the future alone, because of this kind of look, he had it before, "I came to Tianfrost Valley three times, each time it was half a month, however, the first two times were nothing, but by the third time, I found the entrance to the vault, but unfortunately I couldn't get in." Frost Spirit laughed self-deprecatingly.
After hearing the past of the frost spirit, Zhu Yi's heart was no longer as angry as he was just now, but he had not yet reached the point of forgiving her, he asked, "Then you brought me and Feng Wan here, do you want to use our hands to open the entrance to the Vault?"
The expression on Feng Wan's face was not good-looking, and she was puzzled: "Frost Spirit, since you want us to help you open the Vault, just tell us directly, why bother making such a big bend?"
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my identity will be exposed, I'm afraid that someone from the City Lord's Mansion will come to the door, I'm afraid that ......" Frost Spirit was no longer as indifferent as before, she was like a wounded little woman, holding her knees, with tears on her face, sobbing alone, waiting for someone to comfort her.
However, Zhu Yi restrained himself from looking at her and asked, "Are you so afraid? Aren't you afraid of losing our two friends? Or, you don't regard us as friends at all!"
Frost Spirit wiped the tears from his face with a wipe of his sleeve and said, "Before this, I never thought that we would become friends. ”
"When you were fighting the frost wolves, you have been hiding your strength, haven't you? I think with your second-level cultivation, it must be no problem to deal with a few frost wolves, and you don't have to pounce on me at all to save me, I believe that you have enough strength to kill the frostwolves before they break my stomach." ”
Zhu Yi's expression became excited: "Originally, I thought that I had won your friendship and we had become real friends, but unfortunately I was wrong, even in the situation just now, you still kept your hand, I think, if I didn't know the life and death of being beaten, you would definitely hide your strength, right?"
However, I'm puzzled, you don't hesitate to reveal your identity to save me, could it be that I am the key to unlocking the Vault?"
In the face of Zhu Yi's rebuke and question, Frost Spirit nodded, and said with some regret: "The secret vault is frozen in a cave, I don't know how thick the ice layer is, and your Xuanzhi True Flame is used to melt this ice, it is no better."
Actually, you guessed very right, the reason why I used my body to help you block the attack of the frost wolf before was just to make you trust me more, and then I had the opportunity to take you to 'accidentally' discover the cave where the secret treasure is located, and open the secret treasure with the help of your Xuanzhi True Flame, but unfortunately, before the plan was implemented, it was destroyed by Qin Tian and them. ”
"You're ......!"
Zhu Yi's expression became more and more excited, and he became more and more angry, it is easy to understand that a person treats another person as a friend who has passed his life, but in the end, he finds that the other party is just using herself, even if she saves her life, but if she does not retain her strength, this kind of thing will not happen at all.
Even if she has any unspeakable hardships, but a person who can use her life as a use of others, it is difficult to distinguish whether what she has done before is really for the good of her friends, or for the purpose of exploitation, she has to do it.
If it was an ordinary person, he really couldn't see the flaws exposed by the frost spirit, but when Zhu Yi was in the Yanwang Mansion, he had seen too many such things for a long time out of the edge of family strife.
Taking advantage of and being used, Zhu Yi has never liked anything, it's not that he doesn't understand the hardships of the frost spirit, but this matter has touched his taboo. Frost doesn't like to be used as a pawn, and neither does he.
"Okay, I see, give me a few days to recover, and then take us to the Vault Cave. Zhu Yi restrained his anger and said lightly.
Feng Wan glanced at Frost Ling with a complicated expression, didn't speak, just sighed, obviously she didn't feel comfortable in her heart.
In the next five days, in addition to resting for an hour every day, Zhu Yi practiced day and night, healing his injuries, and the two bottles of healing elixir were quickly used up, but his injuries also recovered quickly.
After all, it only hurt the flesh and skin, did not hurt the muscles and bones, damaged the veins, and the extremely tough body that had already been tempered at the beginning of the body, the recovery ability was ten times stronger than that of ordinary people, plus the assistance of the elixir, only five days later, Zhu Yi's injuries were almost recovered.
And Frost Spirit also took advantage of the past few days to catch three flower foxes, and counted as completing the task of the academy, otherwise it would be difficult to go back.
"Take us to the cave of the Vault, according to the previous agreement, whatever is in it, it must be divided into three parts, maybe we can't beat you, but before you kill us, it will be easy to destroy some of the Vault. ”
Zhu Yi talked to Shuang Ling, completely like a stranger, only the so-called interests in his mouth, and no longer joked with each other like when they first met.
"Am I so unbearable in your eyes? Forget it, this Sumeru ring is for you. ”
Frost Ling's eyes were a little lost, and he threw the Sumeru ring that he had pulled from Lin Feng's corpse a few days ago to Zhu Yi from the package, and said, "I have lifted the prohibition on this Sumeru ring, and after you go back, you can ask your master to help you refine it again and put your own prohibition on it." ”
took the ring thrown over, Zhu Yi did not put her, but according to the memory, the method of checking the Sumeru ring, separated a breath of energy, and looked inside, the space inside is not too big, the height is only one zhang, and the width is not more than three zhang, but if Zhu Yi just puts some small objects inside, such as changing clothes, porcelain bottles containing elixirs, weapons and the like, it is very convenient.
Along the way, the three of them were silent, and Feng Wan seemed very indifferent about being used, but because of Zhu Yi's feelings, she didn't talk to Frost Spirit again.
After walking for half a day, bypassing several mountain roads, along the mountain road that was only two steps wide, and below was an abyss with no bottom in sight, Zhu Yi and the others leaned against the cliff and slowly moved their steps.
After nine bends and eighteen bends, passing through the dangerous and dangerous mountain road, Zhang Shan, the secret treasure that the frost spirit said, finally appeared in front of Zhu Yi and them.
"It's so cold, I'm at least fifty paces away from the cave now, but I can still feel the chill on my face, and I can see that it's either frozen with shocking treasures or frozen monsters. ”
Zhu Yi and Feng Wan followed behind Frost Spirit, even if they had been prepared, they were still shivering from the cold, and the two hurriedly used their strength to keep out the cold, but Frost Spirit didn't seem to feel the cold, and didn't make any movement.
The closer he got to the entrance of the cave, Zhu Yi exhaled, and it turned into a burst of white mist, and his eyebrows had already condensed into a layer of frost, and the temperature here was even lower than he imagined.
I saw that the entire cave was tightly sealed by a layer of cold ice that was not known how thick the road was, and the color of this ice was almost the same as the surrounding stone walls, if there was no such amazing cold, it would be really difficult for people to notice its existence.
"Whoa!"
The frost spirit gathered his strength, raised his hand and slapped at the ice at the entrance of the cave, several large pieces of ice chips were splashed around, and a slight crack appeared in the ice outside.
This made Zhu Yi a little puzzled, if it was just this ordinary layer of ice, logically speaking, as long as the frost spirit was in full swing, it would not be a problem at all.
But before he could ask, he found that the cracked ice made a 'hissing' sound, and after a while, the thin slits that had just been punched out were all frozen together, all of which was not more than a breath at all.
In such a situation, even if the frost spirit fights day and night, I am afraid that it will not be able to break through the slightest bit of ice, but it will run out of energy, and it may be exhaustive here.
"There's something weird about this ice!"
Zhu Yi felt that there was something strange about this ice cave, but he didn't grasp the fundamentals, but what he saw just now made him sure that there was really a secret in the ice cave, and it was likely to be a good spiritual weapon.
However, Zhu Yi was not in a hurry to make a move, he looked at the terrain, the location of this cave is low, if he uses Xuanzhi True Flame to melt the ice, I am afraid that the speed of melting is not as fast as the speed at which water turns into ice again.
"Dig a few more big pits around here, and every time I melt a layer of ice, you'll immediately dig a canal underneath, and I'll try to keep the temperature of the Xuanzhi True Flame so that they don't freeze so quickly. ”
Zhu Yi said just do it, waved his palms, made a few pits on the ground, and then blasted all the martial arts he had learned before towards a pit, and the sand in the pit was beaten out little by little by him with his skills.
And Shuang Ling and Feng Wan were not stupid, the two of them also made a deep pit nearby, and after about half an hour, there were five or six more large pits about three zhang or so at the entrance of the cave, which were connected to each other.
After this activity, Zhu Yi was feverish, but because of the cold, he didn't sweat a drop.
"Alright, let's get started!"
Zhu Yi let out a loud sigh, took Feng Wan's soft sword, and no matter what the moves, he urged his energy and waved it on the surface of the ice indiscriminately.
For a while, the ice cubes splashed everywhere, and while the sword momentum was not gone, Zhu Yi condensed the Xuanzhi True Flame with both hands again, and the Eight Wind Palm took advantage of the situation, and several huge ice cubes were broken into slag by him, and then under the pale red flame, they fused into water, and flowed into the soil pit along the drainage channel dug before.
Zhu Yi has a long and strong spirit, supported by the two secret methods of frost and fire, this chill that could originally freeze people into ice cubes seems to be ordinary in front of him, and it has no effect at all.
After about two hours, all the ice was cleared, and the ice that had melted into water had been frozen in several earth pits at this time, and the hole was about to condense nearly 100 meters of ice, and I don't know how long it would take for the road to pass.
"Let's go inside!"
In order to reassure Zhu Yi and Feng Wan, Frost Ling walked in front alone, and walked through the frozen place in front, the cave was not too cold, but the air was a little humid, Zhu Yi only walked for a while, his clothes were full of water droplets, and the three of them walked through the winding path and went deep into the bottom of the cave.
