Chapter 523: Ice Flame
As a foundry, Qi Xiaobai knew that there were many flames in the world with different shapes and characteristics, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of dark blue flame in front of him, and it was indeed a flame that was moving up and down, except for the color, there was no other difference from the shape of the flame, but it was like water flowing forward.
The more Qi Xiaobai looked at it, the more curious he became, and casually took out an iron tong from his arms and slowly leaned towards the blue flame.
Iron tongs are a common tool for striking iron, which has always been carried by Qi Xiaobai, and its appearance looks dark and simple, unremarkable, but it is made of fine iron, and its toughness is far more than that of ordinary steel.
Seeing that the iron tongs were about to touch the blue flame, a ball of fire suddenly jumped, and suddenly rushed towards the iron tongs, Qi Xiaobai only felt an indescribable chill coming, and subconsciously hurriedly threw the iron tongs aside.
Lan Yan immediately covered the iron tongs, and in an instant, the appearance of the iron tongs was already covered with a layer of ice, Qi Xiaobai didn't even have time to react, the ice quickly faded, and then the entire iron tongs turned into a puddle of molten iron.
Eventually, the molten iron coalesced together and coalesced into a walnut-sized bead of iron.
"Ice Flame?!"
Qi Xiaobai looked at the front of him dumbfounded, and let out a loud exclamation, finally realizing what the faint blue flame was.
I heard Qian Xinxin once mention that there is indeed an ice flame in the world, but Qi Xiaobai has never seen it, the appearance of the ice flame is similar to the flame, but it is actually completely different.
Things must be reversed, and when it is cold to a certain extent, it also has the effect of fire, no matter how hard it is, it can also melt it, and the iron tong before was melted into a puddle of molten iron by the ice flame.
However, there are also types of ice flames, although Qi Xiaobai recognized them, but the end was limited after all, and he didn't know what kind of ice flame appeared in front of him and what kind of origin it was.
After waiting for a while, Qi Xiaobai carefully picked up the iron beads left on the ground, compared with the previous iron tongs, the appearance was obviously much smaller, but the weight was not reduced at all, the iron tongs were already extremely pure, but I didn't expect to be able to purify them again through ice flames.
At this time, Qi Xiaobai even had the intention of taking away the ice flame in the ravine, but after thinking about it, these ideas were a bit too absurd, the ice flame was an intangible thing, and it was slightly accidentally contaminated, and the living example of the fire spirit before was an example.
In desperation, Qi Xiaobai had no choice but to sigh lightly and continue to walk forward.
Walking slowly, an hour had passed, and he hadn't gone too far, when a relatively narrow entrance suddenly appeared in front of him, and the red mist in front of him became thicker and thicker.
After passing through the entrance, a stone chamber appeared in front of you, and the fog was thick and looming all around.
"Boom", a dull loud noise suddenly came from behind him, and when he turned his head, a boulder more than one person high came from nowhere, just sealing the entrance.
Qi Xiaobai hurriedly turned around and pushed the boulder, not moving at all, afraid that it would be difficult to open it with manpower, and after trying for a while to no avail, Qi Xiaobai simply ignored the boulder and began to search in the stone room.
First, let's see if there is any news about the mechanism to open the boulder, and the other is naturally to find out if there are treasures such as artifact exercises left in the stone room.
Unconsciously, the red mist dissipated a little, and Qi Xiaobai walked forward for a while, only to find that he was in the stone room
There is a stone platform in front of it, and there is a box more than two feet long on the stone platform, which looks like iron and not iron, and I don't know what material.
The box closed firmly, but a faint hint of red light appeared in the closed gap.
Qi Xiaobai was slightly stunned at first, and then showed a stupid smile, I'm afraid that fools know what treasures are hidden in the iron box in front of them, and Qi Xiaobai didn't expect that he was really bumped into one by himself.
After observing for a while, he began to try to open the iron box, but the iron box was very firm, and he couldn't find a way to open it at all, and it didn't take long for Qi Xiaobai to lose patience, and he raised the hammer in his hand and smashed it towards the iron box, but he didn't expect that the violent opening method was still useless, and the iron box not only failed to open, but even remained motionless, just like growing on a stone platform.
Qi Xiaobai's character is like this, he is not too attached to the iron box, since he can't open it, he is too lazy to continue to spend time, so he simply leaves the iron box behind and continues to look for other things.
There is a pair of bones stacked not far behind the stone platform where the box is placed, Qi Xiaobai was startled when he first saw it, but if he looked closely, the bones were not abnormal, I don't know who left them, they should have been stacked here for thousands of years, maybe they will fall apart with a little touch.
Qi Xiaobai also ignored these, and continued to walk back, next to the stone wall at the end of the stone room, there was a long halberd obliquely inserted, the halberd body was thick and simple, and it could be felt extraordinary just from a distance, which immediately attracted Qi Xiaobai's attention.
The tip of the halberd spear was inserted into the ground, leaning on the stone wall, the surface was covered with a layer of fine frost, and there was a small hole a foot wide not far from the stone wall, and the ice flame that I had seen before was slowly flowing out of the small hole, just passing by the halberd, and melting half of the tip of the halberd.
Qi Xiaobai stepped forward, looked the halberd up and down for a while, then reached out and held it on top of the halberd, and pulled it out hard, not moving at all, just by the touch of the feeling can feel that this halberd is extraordinary, for a while it is impossible to accurately judge what its material is, but it must be a divine weapon above the heavenly level.
It's a pity that it has been damaged by the erosion of ice flames over the years, and it has been reduced to chicken ribs.
It is indeed a good piece of material, but because of the material, it is difficult to find a suitable flame to sharpen it, and there is almost no way to repair it.
But throwing it here, Qi Xiaobai felt a little pity, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to swing the hammer, smash the stone wall, and take out the halberd.
Then she wandered around the stone room for a while, and there were no other special discoveries, looking at the iron box on the stone platform, Qi Xiaobai was a little worried, all along, she has been used to solving all problems with the hammer in her hand, once she encounters something that the hammer can't solve, she is at a loss, and has no idea.
Thinking of his retreat again, Qi Xiaobai patted his head and laughed at himself: "I can't get out, what's the use of opening the iron box, I have to find a way to open the retreat first." ”
Suddenly feeling that this so-called Luofeng Ruins was not as mysterious as he had imagined before, Qi Xiaobai suddenly felt a little excited, and actually wanted to leave earlier.
Raise the hammer, without saying a word, throw it towards the boulder blocking the road, if it is an ordinary place, let alone a stone gate, even if it is a stone mountain, the hammer can be chiseled all the way over, but I never thought that this hammer was slammed up, the boulder was unscathed, but the hammer was bounced out, and Qi Xiaobai's two arms were also shocked and numb.
A hammer falls, accompanied at the same time
There was a loud noise that couldn't tell whether it was crisp or dull, and others wouldn't care too much, but Qi Xiaobai was a little sensitive to this sound, and his expression immediately became much more solemn.
She had already sensed the texture of the boulder through the hammer, and immediately threw the hammer aside, and a steel needle went out of her body and pierced it into the boulder.
Under the force, the tip of the needle curled, and Qi Xiaobai couldn't close his mouth in horror.
The steel needle, like the previous iron tongs, is a tool that Qi Xiaobai carries with him, which seems to be ordinary, but the tip of the needle is made of the deep sea King Kong, which is extremely hard and invincible, and it is used to create the details of the carving and painting of the divine weapon.
In addition to being distressed, Qi Xiaobai looked carefully at the surface of the boulder, but could not find a trace of the eye of the needle, and could not judge what kind of material the boulder was for a while, but Qi Xiaobai clearly understood that this boulder was extremely extraordinary, and it was even possible to exceed her cognition.
For a foundry like her, seeing such a rare talent is like a person who has been hungry for half a month facing a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, his eyes are shining, and he looks up and down the boulder without blinking, and has already lost the iron box on the stone platform and the way out.
Suddenly, Qi Xiaobai seemed to think of something, hurriedly picked up the hammer that was thrown on the ground, walked quickly to the "stream" flowing with ice flames, and smashed it to the ground without saying a word.
With a lot of effort, a deep ravine was carved out of the ground again, and with these, Qi Xiaobai simply "drained" the ice flame to the bottom of the boulder.
The idea was realized, Qi Xiaobai's face was already full of excitement, after observing left and right for a while, he found the right angle, swung the hammer and smashed it under the boulder, a deafening sound came out, suddenly crisp, suddenly dull, the fire and blue flames splashed each other, and after a few hammers, even the hammer in Qi Xiaobai's hand changed shape.
Qi Xiaobai raised the hammer and glanced at it, and after a moment of hesitation, he continued to smash towards the boulder without hesitation, and there was basically no change in it, but under the continuous beating and tempering in the ice flames, the color of the surface of the boulder finally slowly faded, and it was black and bright.
Qi Xiaobai only had the boulder in front of her in her eyes, and continued to beat selflessly, as for the treasure and time in the ruins, it was no longer in her consideration.
The Three Flame Boy and Ke Lina chose the two holes on the far right respectively, and after entering, they experienced roughly the same as Qi Xiaobai, without encountering any dangers and accidents, relatively speaking, it was more smooth.
Through the fog in the cave, the two entered two stone chambers one after another, and the situation in the stone chambers was similar, as if they were copied, and there was also a stone platform in the middle, on which an iron box was placed, and behind the stone platform, there was a pile of bones.
Seeing the iron box placed on the stone platform, the two couldn't help but get excited, the Three Flames Boy couldn't wait to come to the iron box, but this time it was different from Qi Xiaobai's previous experience.
With just a slight touch, without force, the iron box opened on its own, but in the iron box it was empty, and there was nothing.
The Three Flames Boy looked at the front of him in a daze, and he didn't know what kind of expression he had on his face wrapped in a black robe, he never expected that it would be said by Lu Mingfei, and the empty box would fall on his head like this.
