Zhike slowly chewed the roasted jerky, glanced at Qiu Ze, and said lightly: "Cultivating the truth, striving for breakthroughs, only by putting all the time on cultivation can you achieve something, as for the stomach, it is natural to be able to eat enough, in order to bring you to pick ice crystals, I have wasted three days." ”

Qiu Ze smiled wryly: "What Senior Brother said is extremely ...... On weekdays, I am also obsessed with cultivation, but since we have not yet ascended, we are still mortals, and there is still a lot of fun in human life, and in addition to cultivation, we also have to enjoy life. ”

Zhike frowned slightly, and his heart was a little touched, but he stopped talking nonsense with Qiu Ze, gobbled up the jerky and flatbread in his hand, and continued to mine ice crystals with his sword.

At this time, there are only more than 20 ice crystals left in the cave, Qiu Ze squatted in front of an ice crystal that has not been mined, carefully observed how the ice crystals were formed, and after looking at it for a long time, he could only see that the ice crystals extended from the bottom of the cave, and further down, there was nothing strange to see.

"Strange, are these ice crystals like bamboo shoots growing out of the ground?"

Zhike didn't answer, and continued to slowly mine the ice crystals.

Qiu Ze picked up the green steel sword that had been broken in two, smashed it against the bottom of an ice crystal, and used the broken sword as a shovel, trying to dig out the ice crystal.

The ice in the cave is naturally not as hard as the ice crystals, Qiu Ze dug for a quarter of an hour, and finally dug in half an inch, he threw away the hilt of his sword and lay down.

"Hey, it looks like the ice crystals really grew out of the ground. ”

The ice crystals were embedded in the ice at the bottom of the cave, and they were dug up in half by Akizawa, and it was found that the ice crystals were only embedded in the ice about a knuckle deep, and at this time, at the bottom of the ice crystals, there was a cold air that was visible to the naked eye and slowly poured into the ice crystals.

Zhike walked over, and also lay on the ground to see the connection between the ice crystals and the ice, and couldn't help but show a strange look, Xin Lan felt bored, and simply sat on the ice,

"Senior brother, are these cold qi coming from all over the glacier?" Qiu Ze wondered.

Zhike shook his head: "I don't know, this is also the first time I have brought a Qiyunguan disciple to mine ice crystals, and I don't know much about it." ”

Qiu Ze nodded: "In this way, ice crystals are really like bamboo shoots, which grow from the ground, but the environment in which ice crystals grow is ice, and these cold qi are its nutrients." ”

Zhike hesitated for a moment and said, "It's useless to guess, since you're interested in this, then I'll help you dig it up." ”

Zhike took the sword and injected his mana into the sword body, and the sword body erupted into a strong fire in vain, and immediately roasted some of the surrounding ice dust into water stains.

Qiu Ze was next to Zhike, but he didn't expect the temperature to be so high, and his hair burned off a lot, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and was immediately shivering from the low temperature of the glacier.

At this time, a strong fire began to emerge from Zhike's body, and his body, like a flame, illuminated the entire cave much brighter, the temperature slowly rose, and the ice under Akizawa's feet slowly melted under the scorching flames.

Akisawa felt a little stuffy, took off his clothes, and looked at Zhike in surprise.

Qi Yunguan's disciple, majoring in the power of Xuanbing, even if he knows some other secret books, but they are all based on Xuanbing Technique, but Zhike is different, although his whole person is cold at any time, but Qiu Ze did not feel a trace of cold breath from his body, and at this time, seeing that the mana driven by Zhike turned out to be a flame, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Qiu Ze has been practicing the Xuanbing Jue for some days, and he can already be regarded as a first glimpse of the doorway, he can see that the way Zhike drives mana is the same as Xuanbing Jue, but the mana converted into Xuanbing Jue is born with the breath of Xuanbing, but what Zhike converts is a flame that is diametrically opposed to Xuanbing.

The flames were indescribably manic, and even made some popping sounds, and Qiu Ze couldn't help but think to himself, if this sword stabbed into a person's body, even if the sword wound was not fatal, it would be roasted to death by the flames.

Zhike naturally didn't know what Qiu Ze was thinking, he injected all the mana into the sword, and quickly stabbed into the ice where the ice crystals were located.

Naturally, the ice crystals are not affected by high temperatures, but the ice layer is only solidified by ordinary ice cubes, and under the action of high temperatures, they melt at an extremely fast rate.

Zhike effortlessly cut a large hole in the ice, and he jumped in: "You use your mana to freeze this water in the back." ”

Zhike's body has already submerged most of the water, and if he cuts it again, he will be flooded with water.

Qiu Ze answered, urging the mana in his body, following behind Zhike, and solidifying the fused water again.

The two of them dug down little by little, Qiu Ze's mana was much weaker than Zhike after all, and the speed of solidification was a little unable to keep up, Xin Lan also joined the two of them in the digging operation, with Xin Lan's help, Qiu Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

As the three of them continued to go deeper, a vertical downward opening appeared in the cavern.

The deeper he dig, the stronger the cold became, but fortunately there was a friend in front of him, and when the cold passed past him, it was baked into a mist by the flames.

"Strange how this cold air came up. ”

There is no gap between the glaciers, but the cold air is blowing from the depths, which is really unreasonable, it is simply groundless.

Rao is indifferent nature, and he also feels that there is something unusual, and the speed of digging the hole is also faster.

Guided by curiosity, the three of them didn't know how long they dug up, Qiu Ze and Xin Lan's mana gradually ran out, and they couldn't support it, so Zhike stopped.

Qiu Ze was so tired that he leaned against the ice wall and looked up to see that the hole that was originally one zhang wide looked like it was only the size of a bowl.

"If we dig any more, we won't dig through the glacier, will we?"

Zhike put his hand on the lowest place, and said without looking back: "No, the cold is getting thicker and thicker, and it won't be long before you can dig up what you want to see." ”

After resting for half an hour, Qiu Ze and Xin Lan recovered a lot of mana, and Zhike couldn't wait to continue digging.

————

"Senior brother, wait. ”

Qiu Ze patted Zhike's shoulder: "Have you noticed that the cold seems to be gone." ”

Zhike stopped and withdrew all his mana, only to find that the original strong cold air had completely disappeared at some point.

Qiu Ze slapped the back of his head hard: "Oops! You dug in front, and the melted water and cold all turned into water vapor, and we didn't even notice that the cold was gone." ”

The cold air is naturally insignificant to a person with super strength like Zhike, but Qiu Ze and Xin Lan can clearly feel the cold and freeze their bodies.

Qiu Ze frowned and said, "Could it be that we have missed the source of the cold and dug under the root of the cold air." ”

The three of them looked up.
