Sensing Chen Ziyan's teasing gaze, Shirley Yang turned her head in confusion.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan did not continue to pursue. There are some things that need to be controlled carefully. If you go too far, it will be bad.
Since everyone was inclined to wait, Chen Ziyan didn't rush there. He also understood that it's better to be careful than to make a big mistake.
Moreover, the violent gesture of the boundless karma fire that just erupted is really scary, so I can accept it if I wait a little longer.
After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, the group saw that nothing unusual appeared, so they slowly walked back to the ice cave.
When I got closer, I saw that the originally jagged entrance of the ice cave had been burned by the pillar of fire and was extremely rounded.
After taking a photo with a flashlight, I saw that a round hole with the same diameter also appeared at the bottom of the corresponding cave entrance. However, the hole at the bottom of the ice cave did not lead directly to the abyss below, but formed a regular
cylindrical space.
It can be seen that the ice layer below is very thick, and it is unlikely to collapse easily.
After confirming that there was no problem, Wushuanggui was left on top to guard the way back, while the others grabbed the climbing rope and slid into the ice cave.
Although the immeasurable karma fire stored in this ice cave has been used up, this ice cave has also proved that it is by no means a good place. There may be other vicious institutions inside, so they plan to go down together.
This is not only to take care of each other, but also to achieve a quick resolution.
In the process of falling, everyone saw that the ice wall, which was still slightly blurry at first, became much clearer now.
You can clearly see that the ice wall is densely packed with corpses. These corpses are layered one after another, and their fresh faces are lifelike. They should have been sealed inside when they were alive.
Chen Ziyan felt that such a change should be attributed to the infinite karma fire. Just now they could feel the amazing heat wave even though they were so far apart. It would be strange if the ice wall did not change.
"How much life is sealed here."
Hu Bayi looked at the ice wall with countless corpses and said with emotion.
Although it was just a quick sweep, the specific shapes of more than a dozen bodies could be clearly seen. It is difficult to estimate how many corpses there are inside.
"I'm afraid there must be hundreds of them."
Chen Ziyan thought for a while and gave this answer.
This is his estimate based on the number of corpses on the outermost layer. Even if it is wrong, it should be close.
After all, the number of corpses that can be seen alone is close to two hundred.
"The clothes of these corpses are not in the style of the Demon Kingdom. It seems that this is indeed a relic from the Samsara Sect period."
Shirley Yang's focus is on the details, and she also gave her own findings at this time.
Since the ruins that can appear here are not from the Demon Kingdom period, they can only be from the Samsara Sect period.
While they were talking, everyone landed at the bottom of the ice cave. Shirley Yang withdrew her gaze from the ice wall and looked at the hole in the center of the bottom. After studying it for a while, she said:
"This should be a very ancient mechanism. To put it simply, a sealed space is placed in the ice layer, which contains a large amount of special substances. The top surface of this sealed space is combined with the ice layer above, and acts as a sealed space.
After the ice layer at the top of the space breaks, the special substances inside will spontaneously ignite when exposed to the air, and will turn into the immeasurable karma fire we see."
After finishing her inference, she glanced at the cylindrical hole that was burned into a cylindrical shape and said with emotion:
"The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated. They actually used this method to master such a terrifying flame as the infinite karma fire."
"In many aspects... the predecessors are far superior to today's people." Chen Ziyan said with a hint of meaning.
"Eh? Look, look!"
At this moment, Wang Kaixuan suddenly greeted everyone.
Chen Ziyan followed the guidance of his flashlight and saw a strange outline faintly visible in the deepest part of the cylindrical cavity at his feet.
"This is... a hidden dark room?" Hu Bayi frowned and said.
It looked like there was no doubt a hidden chamber, but it was completely inconsistent with the form of the tombs he knew.
However, he thought that this ice cave was very weird, so he didn't say much.
Chen Ziyan glanced at him and could guess what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything either and said directly:
"If you want to know what's inside, just break the ice and you'll find out."
He knows this hidden space, and to verify whether his conjecture is correct, the things inside are also crucial evidence.
When Wang Kaixuan thought that there might be a dazzling array of funerary objects behind the ice, he became excited and full of energy.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, he immediately jumped down with an ice ax and dug into the ice to take out the treasure.
But as soon as he lifted one foot, Hu Bayi, who was guarding his hand, grabbed him by the collar.
Hu Ba pulled Wang Kaixuan to his side and scolded him in a low voice: "Are you desperate for your life? Have you forgotten the immeasurable fire of karma just now?"
Who knows if the people who originally built this ice cave would repeat the same tricks.
If there were another similar mechanism inside, there would be no place to hide in this narrow space, and it would probably be burned to ashes by then.
Wang Kaixuan was previously stunned by the treasure. When he heard these words, the blue pillar of fire that penetrated the sky and the earth immediately appeared in his mind. His whole person felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and the enthusiasm in his heart suddenly cooled down.
.
"Our Mr. Hu is still safe!"
Saying free flattery, this guy moved back in a hurry.
Chen Ziyan couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, but he also understood that Hu Bayi's worries were reasonable. This kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, so it is better not to gamble.
There is no need for complicated methods to break through the ice, just copy the routine just now. Anyway, the crossbows they brought are just backup, and if they are lost, it will not affect the overall situation.
As for the consumption of ginger juice, I can only say that the Crescent Hotel is so well prepared that this little waste is nothing.
After generously pouring another pot of ginger juice, Chen Ziyan took advantage of the gap of waiting for the ice to dissolve and once again made a set of fixed trigger crossbow arrows.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the ice layer below was not as thick as imagined. His little mechanism was not used at all, and the ice layer had been dissolved by the ginger juice.
"It's all in vain this time." Chen Ziyan casually put aside the newly made mechanism crossbow arrows and turned to the others and said: "Since the ice has melted, it means there is no mechanism at the entrance. Let's go down and have a look.
”
Although he had done a useless job, no one could have expected such a thing, so Chen Ziyan didn't care much.
