"Dang!"

A crisp voice sounded.

One end of the pickaxe used to dig the iceberg broke directly, and the broken pickaxe flew out in a spiral, leaving only a very shallow pit on the ice in front of it.

Looking at the pickaxe in his hand, Arka reluctantly threw it aside.

The same is true of Xia Daiti next to them.

The icebreaker in his hand can't have much impact on the ice in front of him at this stage.

The only thing that can make a difference now is the flame in Alka's hand.

However, the extent of the impact is limited.

At most, you can only burn a thumb-sized depression, and trying to melt the entire ice surface is a fool's dream.

"What now?" Jason asked, looking at the broken pickaxe in his hand.

They are in trouble again.

These ice cubes are so difficult to make that hardness is outrageous.

It's already come to this point, and I can only find a way to dig out the ice in front of me.

Look at the pickaxe in your hand.

Now it was the tools that limited their opportunities to explore forward, and with their strength, if there were better tools, they should be able to destroy the ice in front of them.

Arka thought for a moment and said, "You guys temporarily limit the speed of ice recovery, and I'll go prepare some better tools." ”

Hearing Arka's words, several people nodded.

Arka, on the other hand, returned to the ship, to the cabin's workshop.

The right arm was covered with a precision hand, and blue streaks flashed on it.

Arka was going to spend some materials to make a few magical pickaxes, which was a bit extravagant, but worth it for a treasure.

It's a big deal to let the church reimburse you later, after all, it's to take over their task and do things for them.

Thinking of this, Arka went to the workbench and began to make it.

About a day or so passed.

Arka returned to the excavation site with his tools.

At this time, Xia Daiti and the others were resting in the tent next to them.

Seeing Alka's arrival, they all came out of the tent and took the new ice-digging tools from his hands.

Jason took the pickaxe in his hand and swung it twice.

"How do you use this thing?"

This is because this pickaxe looks no different from a normal pickaxe, except that the materials used in it look more advanced.

A square with an eye sign in a square frame was also seen on the grip.

Arka put the pickaxe on his shoulder and walked into the hole.

As he walked, he said, "Come in with me, and I'll show you how." ”

After coming to the ice surface before.

Arka held the pickaxe high in both hands, and the magic surged down the grip to the pickaxe, which was facing the ice.

A thin layer of silvery light appeared on it, and Arka slammed it into the ice.

The 30-centimeter-long pickaxe plunged straight into the ice, and Arka once again infused the magic into it.

I could see the pickaxe, which obviously shook several times, and I held the pickaxe hard.

A large chunk of polar ice split into several pieces and fell off, revealing a cone-shaped crater about 40 centimeters deep.

Looking at the effect in front of him, Arka nodded with satisfaction, turned to everyone and said, "How is it?" Not bad, isn't it? ”

This icebreaker was portrayed by Arka's spell, and in addition to being made stronger, its function is to increase sharpness and make a powerful shaking structure in the rear.

When one end is inserted into the ice cube, quickly vibrate it a few times and pry the ice cube directly up and down.

It greatly increases the efficiency of icebreaking.

Looking at Alka's behavior, and then at the ice pickaxe in his hand, Jason walked up.

Act the same.

However, due to the difference in physical fitness and the strength of his magic power, Jason only managed to make a 20-centimeter hole.

But that's enough, the tool has been fully proven to work, and it will speed them up considerably.

Significant efficiency gains.

"Alright, guys, come on, let's get started."

As he spoke, the four of them began to wave the ice axe in their hands and dig into the ice in front of them.

"Come on! Come on! The sound of milk came from behind.

Lucilia the doll is holding two streamers next to her, cheering them on.

Arka gets Lucia a lot of weird things.

……

"Finally, finally digging here."

Jason panted and threw the badly worn magic pickaxe in his hand to the side, sat down on the ice, and rested despite the cold of his butt.

The rest of them were no better than him.

They all started to pant against the ice everywhere.

The exhaled breath immediately turned into a cold mist and dissipated into the air.

They had finally dug to the top of the pit, where the cold had reached the limit of what a few people could accept.

Even though the three of them were wearing thick clothes and were in such a hole, they still felt the biting cold, burrowing into their bodies.

In order to avoid getting sick and getting frostbitten, magic had to be used to dispel these biting chills from the body.

This in turn increased the consumption of mana in their bodies.

Even Julia, who was more hardy, wore a thick layer of clothing to keep out the cold.

But that's enough for her.

It took them a whole week to reach the distance of 160 meters.

Because almost every 10 meters of ice is dug in, the hardness rises slightly, which greatly slows them down.

In addition to resting and eating, they kept digging.

But it took a week, because the last dozen meters took them three days to finally dig up.

The last few days were almost like digging ice with a small spoon.

This week's excavation even their physique, the palms of their hands can't help but get some blisters.

It can be described as an honest experience of the feeling of a miner.

But fortunately, the hard work paid off, and finally dug to the destination during the period when the pickaxe was seriously worn.

The chill from below was so obvious and biting.

But there doesn't seem to be anything peculiar about the ice beneath their feet.

Of course, only with the naked eye.

Xia Daiti half-knelt down and squatted down, padding thick clothes, touching the ice under their feet with his hands.

The ice below is so cold that if you don't put on clothing, you will probably get frostbite on the skin on your hands.

Silver ripples kept moving downward, probing the environment below.

Due to the excitation of the treasure and the so-called attack, the energy below it is abnormally chaotic, which will interfere with Xia Daiti's detection.

She had only been able to detect noticeable craters before, as the ice was still very visible between the ice and the dirt.

Now you can look more closely at the top.

"That's right, it's at our feet, and this is where the hole is."

As he spoke, Xia Daiti took a pickaxe and drew a one-and-a-half-meter circle between them.

The mark disappeared in less than a dozen seconds.

Xia Daiti continued: "There is still a thick layer of ice here, about 20 meters deep, and there is a hollow layer below 20 meters, there is no ice, but it is full of energy. ”

That was their final destination, and they had to dig 20 meters down.

This is not an easy task.

The closer you get to the area where the treasure is, the hardness of the ice cube can be imagined.

Looking at the position marked by Shadetti, Arka rested for a while and then stood up, holding his pickaxe in both hands, instilling magic into it fiercely, and slamming it down.

With a crisp thud.

The results were not satisfactory.

There was just a small crater and a few grains of ice slag flew out.

The ice beneath it was getting harder, and once again it was beyond the reach of the tools in hand.

Looking at such a scene, Jason next to him sighed helplessly.

Although they had expected it, their worst fear came.

"That's a long way to get 20 meters."

Arka said helplessly, and then threw the pickaxe in his hand aside.

The further down the 20 meters you go, the harder it must become, and even a magical ice digging axe will hardly have a better effect.

I know it's not that easy.

It's really troublesome.

Truth be told, it would be better to put a few powerful monsters waiting for them next to the treasure.

Even if it's a puzzle.

Arka is willing to decrypt and fight monsters, not wanting to face such an outrageous blockade.

This is also not in line with the actions of the treasure hunters.

What stood in their way was so unpretentious.

I didn't expect to be overwhelmed by the hardness of the ice cubes one day.

It's good, so it exercises their patience.

I can't help but start sorting out the information I already know in my head again, looking for a better way.

First of all, we can know that he will definitely not be able to go down, and he will be beaten 100% if he goes down, and his life may even be in danger.

The task of going down and closing the ancient guards can only be handed over to Xia Daiti, who has no treasures.

And from the difficulty of the mission, it can be seen that as long as they are not the ones who hold the treasure, the Ancient Guards will not attack them.

Otherwise, the difficulty will have to be marked with several spirals.

If they really get through and come to the pit below, the first thing that will stop them should be the biting chill brought by the treasure in the activated state.

Withstanding the icy chill and turning off the Ancient Guards will make the treasure's inspiring state fade.

That's it.

It sounds like a simple thing, but going to the ice cube below has already stopped them.

Thinking of this, Arka couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lucilia, who was skating around on the ice.

Wouldn't it be easier to just open a tunnel that Lucilia could pass through?

Have Lucilia turn off the Ancient Guards.

It seems feasible, as long as Lucilia is given precautions to ensure her safety.

Thinking of this, Arka decided to dig a small tunnel down first, so that they could get a little insight into the situation below.

If the situation is optimistic, let Lucilia go down through this tunnel and close the Ancient Guard.

"Let's dig a small tunnel, 20 centimeters wide, and let's see what's going on at the bottom first."

Hearing Arka's suggestion, the others turned their heads to stare at him.

Although I don't know why this is happening? But since Acre said it, then it can only try.

After all, there's nothing to do now.

You can only take one step at a time.

Arka began to pour flames from his palm, burning towards the location marked by Shadetti.

After burning for most of the day and resting for a while, a 10-centimeter-deep pit was finally burned.

Okay.

A 20-centimeter-wide hole may not be able to be dug out.

"If it only takes 20 centimeters, I'll try."

Julia said suddenly, and the magic gushed out, and a circle of light appeared behind her, and three liquid ribbons flew out.

How is she going to do it?

As she took control, the liquid on the three ribbons took on a metallic sheen, then overlapped with each other, forming a conical shape that pressed against the hole that Arka had just burned with flames, and then spun wildly.

It became a tiny drill bit.

There was a screeching sound from the drill bit rubbing against the ice, but the shattered ice could be seen splashing wildly around.

There is an effect.

The little drill bit made of this ribbon was much more powerful than they thought.

It is almost very smooth to drill downward, and although the progress is slow, it is visible to the naked eye that it is turning deeper and deeper.

And so it went on for two days.

Rested several times.

Julia wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, although the meditation during the break restored her physical strength and magic.

But this has been controlled, and her spirit is very tired.

"Soon, ready."

As the words fell, the three ribbons that had gathered together suddenly emptied, and fell directly downward.

This means that they have drilled a tunnel. To exit the transcoding page, please download the app to read the latest chapters.

A blast of energy poured out of the tunnel.

The ribbon was immediately washed away, and several people leaned together and stepped back.

Gray energy and pale blue ice energy kept coming out of the small tunnel that was only about 20 centimeters wide.

A biting chill, a frenzied gushing out.

The surrounding area is visible to the naked eye, and it has begun to freeze again.

And the gray energy that poured out, Arka could feel that it was constantly impacting his body.

And only impacted him alone, and these energies did no harm when they passed through Xia Daiti's people.

Only Arka was beaten and retreated, and his hands and feet were numb.

He hurriedly stretched out his hands, and the magic energy poured out, and a layer of water-like shield appeared.

However, under the biting cold around him, it immediately formed frost and turned into an ice shield.

This instead strengthened his defenses, holding back the gray energy that was rushing towards Arka.

The silver ripples under Xia Daiti's feet kept spreading around, bringing up layers of holy light flames.

The chill around is clearing.

Otherwise, the pit will freeze again, and won't it be in vain that they have spent so much time?

The 20-meter crater when the energy was surging out frantically was shattered before it had time to freeze.

The accumulated energy poured out wildly, and it took about 10 minutes before it finally completely subsided and poured out of the tunnel.

Because of the blizzard blowing outside of these surging energies, the Bororo who were on guard outside had to shrink into a ball to resist the violent blizzard.

Arka sat weakly on the ice.

The gray energy that poured out just now must have been the energy of the Ancient Guard's attack.

The goal is very clear, that is, to beat yourself.

Just like the message says, the person who has the treasure is attacked.

The few people who were ravaged without energy immediately came to the side of Arka to check the other states.

Arka waved his hand to signal that he was okay and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little out of strength." ”

"Why do those energies have to attack you?" Xia Daiti couldn't help but ask.

Because several people saw it, those gray energies didn't do any damage when they passed through them, except when they passed through Alka, they hit him like a heavy hammer.

And those energies are far away, but if they are close, even if they pass by, they will turn around and hit Alka's body.

It's as if he's attracting firepower.

Arka shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know, maybe it's because some of the abilities and energy below are different, or because some of my physique attracts them, so they will be attacked."

After resting for a while, Arka eased up a little.

A few people came to the pit.

Xia Daiti's silver ripples were once again passed downward.

This time the situation was more detailed, and the energy in the cavern below had very little effect as it gushed out.

"The pit below seems to be some kind of ruin, and there are two high-energy objects facing each other, one of which should be the treasure that the church is talking about, exuding a very obvious chill."

"Something next to it is attacking the treasure, it is a round ball with 4 legs, very large, about three meters."

Hearing Xia Daiti's words, two cards appeared in Alka's hand, with 1 and 2 written on the row.

Arka threw card number 2 directly under the pothole.

As the card fell, it turned into a mirror, on which a silk thread hung in Alka's hand.

Card No. 1 in Alka's hand also turns into a mirror, but the image shown in the mirror is the one seen on mirror No. 2.

However, only a blue energy mass and a gray beam of light could be seen below.

The rest of the place is very dark and you can't see clearly.

The two objects facing each other, although they radiate light, are not scattered.

Arka controls the lantern to float down, providing a light source.

That's when the mirror in their hands shows the picture below.

Several people looked at the screen.

Arka used silk threads to control the slow rotation of the mirror, trying to record the environment below completely.

You can see that there is a clear ruin below, and although the ruins are dilapidated, they are definitely man-made.

Or rather, it was created by other intelligent beings.

A blue cloud of energy floated on a corpse, revealing the original appearance of the ancient guard.

A thick ball, with severe defects on the side, and even exposed the structure inside, a luminous element on top of the structure, so conspicuous.

There was a small depression in front of the orb, from which gray energy erupted.

At this time, the ball was falling diagonally on the ruins, and his two mechanical cylindrical thick legs were still holding him in place.

The other two have been completely destroyed, and they need to rely on the ruins to stabilize their shape.

By the fact that the crowd sees the picture.

Arka began to tell all the information he knew, comparing it to the scene on the screen.

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.

Pet animal breeding base.
