Through previous observations, it seems that only the cold ice island in front of us is special. This is not the case in other nearby sea areas. The temperature is indeed very low, but it is far from cold.
Why is this so?
Mo Juren couldn't help but guess that there must be some unknown secret in this cold island, which is why the island behaves in such a strange way.
He thought of some possibility, maybe there is something similar to Xuanbing mineral veins on the island, or even Xuanyu, which can naturally form such an island.
If this is really the case, then you will make a lot of money this time. If you have the chance, you will definitely dig into it.
But on second thought, this possibility should be unlikely. After all, only extremely cold environments can produce Xuanbing mineral veins, but the reverse won't work.
"Could it be some kind of treasure?" But at this moment, Yin Yue's voice suddenly came from his mind. It was obvious that the other party had guessed what he was thinking.
"Treasure?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised.
"What level of treasure can have such power? Turning the entire island into an iceberg?"
"It's most likely some kind of rare ice-attributed treasure. I don't know what it is. But since I'm here, I might as well explore it a little bit. There may be unexpected gains."
"It makes sense." Mo Juren nodded, but the matter has its own seriousness, and saving people is naturally the first priority. However, you cannot act recklessly. You need to understand the situation more before taking action.
Take back your thoughts and continue to explore.
In order to rescue Xu Qingcheng this time, in addition to the strict formation barrier, the guardians on the island are equally important.
He is not afraid of anyone, even the ninth-level monster martial arts mentioned by Zhuiyue, he does not take it seriously. However, this is to save people after all, not to be brave and ruthless, and strength alone is not enough. p>
He must take the lead in ensuring Xu Qingcheng's safety. Therefore, it is best not to alert the island's guardians before rescuing the other party. As for after rescuing the other party, it doesn't matter what happens next.
After some investigation, it has been basically determined that there are a total of nine strong people in the transformation stage. The strongest one is in the second stage of transformation, and he should be Wu Gan, the Lord of Ice Prison.
In addition to these nine, there are many other monsters on the island, including seventh-level, sixth-level, fifth-level, etc., evenly distributed throughout the island.
If his guess is correct, once an unexpected situation occurs, these low-level monsters are also a force that cannot be underestimated.
Mo Juren couldn't help but be a little surprised by such a large-scale defense. At least it was almost impossible to rescue him from above. Fortunately, he could escape from the ground and was not affected for the time being.
The Jiaolong clan built this island into an ice prison, so it is impossible to ignore this. The coverage of countless formations on the island has long been extended to the ground, and it is not easy to move even from below.
But no matter what, it is still much easier to walk from below, at least you don’t have to face the siege immediately.
Thinking of this, he stopped delaying and immediately continued to move towards the island. After a while, he directly switched to escape technique and submerged directly into it.
After entering the island, he discovered that there was not only soil under the entire island, but also a large area of ice. The two were mixed together, so that if he wanted to escape smoothly, he had to switch between earth escape and water escape at all times.
That’s it.
To Mo Juren, this was nothing. The march was very smooth, but for the sake of concealment, the speed could not be too fast.
After a long time, he finally reached the central area of the island, where the Ice Prison is located.
After careful investigation, I basically got a general idea of the entire ice prison. It covers a small area and only has about a hundred cells. However, 70% of them have demonic energy fluctuations, so obviously all of them are.
Different demon clans are imprisoned, and each of them is in the transformation stage.
What made him a little confused was that Xu Qingcheng's aura was not detected from the beginning to the end. And with the sense of the blood ban, there is no doubt that the other party is still alive.
Last time in the Xutian Temple and the group, the Blood Restriction had mutated. It was no longer just a blood connection, but had invaded the soul. Since there is such a feeling, it must not be wrong.
But if that's the case, why don't you take the other person with you?
Could it be?
Suddenly, an idea suddenly came to his mind and he thought of a possibility.
The entire ice prison has a radius of nearly a thousand miles, which is quite large. However, the real ice prison is only located in a certain area in the center, and the rest of the ice prison is just ordinary Iceland.
Since the other party is not in the ice prison, will he be held alone somewhere else?
When he thought of this, he immediately changed his mind and planned to expand the search scope. However, at this moment, Silver Moon's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, making him stop.
"Wait a minute, I seem to sense something abnormal."
"Abnormal?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. Although the other party's consciousness was not as good as his own, his perception in some aspects was indeed unique.
"About a thousand feet in front, there was a faint strange aura. Although it was fleeting, I still caught it. I don't know what it was exactly, but it seemed to be somewhat similar to dry blue ice flames."
"What!" After hearing this, Mo Juren suddenly lost his composure. If there really is a similar ice flame, it would be a God-given opportunity, and he must get it.
"I'm not completely sure, but after spending tens of thousands of years with dry blue ice flames, I have an extremely keen perception of similar flames, and I'm almost inseparable from it." Yinyue reminded again, paused, and continued, <
/p>
"You have already refined a trace of dry blue ice flame. As long as you sense it carefully, you can probably detect it."
"You'll know if you just go and take a look, and it's more than a thousand feet away, and it seems to be the core of the ice prison." Mo Juren couldn't help but move in his heart, and without hesitation, he immediately walked forward.
There are countless formations in the ice prison, and the coverage of its power reaches deep into the ground. Therefore, he does not dare to get too close and can only move forward close to the edge.
The distance wasn't too far, and soon I arrived, and what I saw was a strange space. It wasn't very big, but it was guarded by a layer of light curtain.
Looking inward through the light curtain, there is a square high platform inside, with a stone pillar covered with spiritual patterns at each corner. Four spiritual lights shoot out from the top of each stone pillar, and finally converge to a suspended position in the center, where
A strange ball of ice-blue light is suspended.
What's even more special is that the light ball actually extends out a series of strange light belts, which are directly connected to the formation of the ice prison above. The light belts are even more aura flowing, as if they are constantly transporting energy upwards. p>
"I understand, this is the energy core of the Ice Prison, and it is the key to maintaining the operation of all the ice formations above." Yinyue suddenly understood, and then said through the voice transmission,
"The cold flame should be inside the ball of light. Only such rare objects can be used by the entire ice prison. I didn't expect that the dragon clan has such a background, but it is a pity that it is used like this. It is a waste of natural resources."
"Maybe there are other reasons, but the cold flame is not trivial, and not everyone can refine it. Moreover, the demon race is different from the human race, most of them don't rely much on external objects." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, and frowned after a little exploration.
Slightly wrinkled,
"This formation is not simple, and there are multiple formations connected together. Even with the strength of my consciousness, I cannot clearly perceive the situation inside the light ball at such a close distance. If I want to take away the cold flame quietly, it is necessary
Impossible."
"So what? Is it possible to give up?"
"Of course not, with such a natural and precious treasure, we can't give up even if we take some risks." Mo Juren did not hesitate at all, paused, and continued,
"Don't worry about it now. We'll talk about it after we save people."
The plan was decided in his mind, and he immediately turned around and left without any further delay.
In the following time, he once again spent a long time and energy to explore almost half of the entire island.
Huangtian paid off and finally allowed him to find Xu Qingcheng's location.
Of course, there is a special reason for this. When the distance between him and the other party reached more than ten miles, he suddenly sensed the other party's existence.
This had not happened before when the distance was too far. Such an unexpected joy naturally made him happy, and also made the difficulty of the rescue instantly reduced a lot.
What made him a little strange was that Xu Qingcheng was actually imprisoned in an extremely remote location on the island.
If you're not in the Ice Prison, that would be the best.
He couldn't help but have a curiosity in his heart, what was Wu Gan's purpose for doing this? He was imprisoned for more than twenty years without taking his life, was it for the treasure? Or was it for other reasons?
Somewhere underground, Mo Juren couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this time, he was more than a thousand feet underground, directly above where Xu Qingcheng was. However, he did not go up to check immediately. The reason was very simple. When he was about to take action, he suddenly felt a strong aura. Approaching rapidly.
The strength of the second level of transformation must be martial arts.
This sudden change suddenly made Mo Juren frown. How could it be such a coincidence? Could it be that he noticed something?
If this is really the case, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, the situation was not what he thought. The other party did not release his spiritual consciousness to explore after reaching the top, and it was obvious that his existence had not been discovered yet.
Thinking of this, he continued to approach upwards. Because of Wu Gan's arrival, he had to slow down his ascent to an extremely slow speed to avoid being sensed by the other party.
In this way, a full quarter of an hour passed before he escaped to a position more than ten feet underground. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep going, but that the road was broken, and there was an icy blue light curtain above his head.
After carefully sensing it, the defense level of the light curtain is not low, but it is obviously not as good as the formation in the Ice Prison. With his strength comparable to that of the late Nascent Soul, it is easy to break through it, but it is easy to break through it quietly. It is very difficult to break through. Especially at this moment, Wu Gan is above, and as long as the restriction fluctuates slightly, the opponent will notice it in an instant.
"What is Wu Gan doing?" Mo Juren did not act rashly, but let go of a ray of spiritual consciousness and probed the situation above with extreme caution. Coincidentally, the restriction above did not have a strong ability to shield the spiritual consciousness, so Nothing that happened was hidden from his perception.
……
"Am I going to die?" Xu Qingcheng felt that her whole body was cold and her consciousness was blurred. It wasn't until a familiar sound of footsteps sounded that she slowly opened her eyes.
The familiar scenes of the small, cold, dark stone room, the huge chains passing through her body, and the red talismans on the chains instantly brought her back to reality.
She is not dead yet, but her extreme weakness reminds her that she is not far away from real death.
Speaking of which, I really have a bad fate! Since I was born, I have been trapped in a small world with my tribe.
At that time, I relied on my excellent qualifications, as well as my extraordinary understanding and perseverance to gradually improve my strength, and finally became the master of the Paradise Palace. However, I still had no way to escape and needed to fight against the nightmare all the time.
Until one day, that person suddenly arrived, not only solving the nightmare's body, making the tribe's biggest crisis disappear, but also opening the way to the outside world.
From then on, he and his tribe were no longer bound and could freely enter and exit the outside world, and the future would be smoother.
She also became more confident. Although she was still controlled by someone, she didn't reject him too much. She could see that the guy didn't have a bad character, but was easy to get along with, and she didn't suffer any disadvantages by following him.
What's particularly important is that the talent and potential shown by the other party are terrifying. Following such a being is not a bad thing for yourself or your tribe.
It's a pity that fate always likes to play tricks. When she was full of ambition and full of hope, she gave her a slap in the face and completely knocked her into the dust...
Everything is not important now, but I can't help but have thoughts in my heart. If I die, what will my tribe do in the future?
And that guy, will he help take care of him for the sake of his relationship? Or even feel a little sad about his death?
Probably not, right? She is not his woman, she is just a subordinate. With that guy's 'hard-hearted', how can he care about the affairs of outsiders, let alone feel sad.
She suddenly thought of the scene in the Holy Land of Paradise in the past. At that time, she was honest with each other, but the other party was not moved at all. Now that she thinks about it, she is really a bastard who doesn't understand the style...
Perhaps he was approaching death, and thoughts were flooding in Xu Qingcheng's mind at this time, but for some reason, he had so many memories of someone.
"Are you awake?" An old voice suddenly sounded, mixed with extreme coldness, instantly interrupting her thoughts. Looking forward, she saw an all-too-familiar figure, a figure that made her feel filled with hatred, but yet...
A helpless existence.
The seventh elder of the Jiaolong clan, the main martial artist of Han Iceland, a great demon who has reached the second level of transformation.
What no one knows is that the other party is not just a demon cultivator, but has embarked on the path of a demon cultivator. He imprisoned her for more than twenty years and never took her life, not out of kindness, but because of fancy.
The pure demon blood in her body.
Over the past twenty years, the other party has continuously extracted blood from her body, starting with once every three years, then once every two years, and then once a year, for the purpose of practicing magic skills.
Having her blood drawn several times in succession, the pain and suffering involved was unimaginable, and she gradually became numb from the initial fear, anger, etc.
"You have already mastered your magic skills. Are you planning to take action in the future?" After looking at the other party, Xu Qingcheng couldn't help but suddenly said in a cold voice.
