Under Rika's guidance, Liu Zheji finally discovered the door leading to the next level. The door was made of ice sculptures, and the azure blue door felt slippery to the touch.
Rika is still hiding far away, which also means that she no longer wants to act with Liu Zheji.
"It's up to you."
Liu Zheji shrugged, and the two of them said goodbye.
After entering the ice sculpture gate, familiar scenes come to mind, including the snow-covered wilderness, the snow-white pine trees carved with powder, and the faint aura permeating the air. If this scene were in the outside world, it would definitely be a beautiful paradise.
A gust of cold air poured into Liu Zheji's collar, and the cold and stinging sensation made him shiver.
"It's just a little too cold." Liu Zheji said to himself.
Liu Zheji didn't expect that he would come here again after more than ten years. Thinking of everything he and Gu Meng'er experienced in Qijue Tower, Liu Zheji felt filled with emotion. All his friends and relatives were doing well in Zichen Mansion.
, only Gu Meng'er was gone. Thinking of this, Liu Zheji became more determined to go to Zhongzhou after overcoming the tribulation.
"It's so cold, Made!"
Liu Zheji's whole body's true energy was blocked, and it was still difficult to resist the cold with his physical body. He shivered while walking on a piece of ice, trying to find a few snow monsters to deal with.
"Can ten snow monsters go out?"
Liu Zheji still remembered this rule, so before dark, Liu Zheji had been looking for those nasty furry guys.
"What is that?"
As soon as he climbed over a hill, Liu Zheji saw an ice monument standing on the ice in front of him. There was nothing around the ice monument, and a faint blue light was emitting from the ice monument.
"It's obviously a trap."
Liu Zheji muttered to himself and walked towards the ice monument.
The ice on the ground was very thick, and a thin layer of snow covered it. It creaked when walking. Liu Zheji kicked a puddle of ice and snow away with his feet, and could see through the clear ice.
At this time, the sky was getting dark. Liu Zheji took out a machine lamp and walked towards the ice monument. The green light shone on his face, and it could be seen that Liu Zheji's face was not very good.
"What was that... just now?"
Having walked a long way, Liu Zheji was still in extreme shock. Just now he used the light of the machine light to see clearly what was under the ice... a huge and ferocious face was looking at him, and this face
Liu Zheji knew that it was the Frost Banshee that Liu Zheji met when he entered the third level!
When Liu Zheji walked to the ice monument, the lines of text on it attracted him.
"Zhongzhou Calendar 328, the first batch of trialists to enter the third-level trial space, Odyssey, Huang Gongyu, Liu Lanqing... worked together to kill the Frost Queen, and there were 0 dead souls."
"Zhongzhou Calendar 340, the second batch of those who entered the third level of trials, Huang Taiji, Yuan Tiangang... worked together to kill the Frost Queen, killing 33 people."
On the ice tablet, there were lines of text recording the time and level of the frost clan that the trialer killed. Liu Zheji quickly found his name on the last line of the ice tablet.
"In the year 4222 of the Zhongzhou Calendar, the 53rd batch of people who entered the third level of trials, Fang Xueqing, Gu Mengying, Liu Zheji... killed the Frost Banshee, and 26 people died."
It turns out that this place has existed for more than four thousand years. Doesn’t that mean that... this secret realm of Shenhou has nothing to do with Wuyinghou?
"etc…"
Liu Zheji suddenly became dizzy.
, then what exactly is this secret realm? Is this Qijue Pagoda the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda mentioned by the Loose Cultivator Alliance?
Everything became confusing with the appearance of this ice monument. Was the so-called divine order issued by Ta himself, or was it issued by Wu Yinghou... or someone else?
Liu Zheji's heart felt a little heavier. He stared at the ice monument for a while. Suddenly, a place on the ice monument attracted him.
"this…"
In addition to words, the ice monument was also covered with strange patterns. The more Liu Zheji looked at these patterns, the more they looked like some kind of font. After he couldn't help but draw on the ice monument with his hands, the entire ice monument lit up.
.
"Whoosh..."
The blue light emitted by the ice monument enveloped Liu Zheji's entire body, and then...disappeared in place.
Liu Zheji was brought under the ice by a mysterious force. When he looked at the ferocious frost monsters all around him, the cold air rising from his back made him dare not move.
"I am the Guardian Tower Spirit Bell. You have passed my test. Congratulations! Trialist! You will receive the ice field reward!"
A cheerful voice sounded in the darkness, and then a blue light lit up around him. Liu Zheji found that he was standing in a bubble, and a little man made entirely of blue liquid was spinning around him.
.
"Reward? Test? What test?"
Liu Zheji was confused, how could he pass the test without doing anything?
"Uh..." seemed to be stopped by Liu Zheji's question. Lingdang's face stiffened for a while before he slowly said: "You... passed. If you come here, you have passed the test. You are really lucky. Haha, you can find this place in no time."
, if I had taken another path, it might not be so easy."
Ling Dang reluctantly finished speaking and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead. Of course, Liu Zheji saw all of this.
"oh?"
Liu Zheji had doubts about Lingdang's words, but thinking that his life was in someone else's hands, he wouldn't lie to himself, right? What he was concerned about now was not that Lingdang had lied to him, but the reward! What on earth was it?
Seeing the eager expression in Liu Zheji's eyes, Lingdang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally I fooled him."
"Ahem."
Ling Ding stopped wandering around and stopped in front of Liu Zheji and said seriously: "There are three rewards for you. You only have one chance to choose. If you choose, you can't regret it!"
"Of course, of course!" Liu Zheji nodded hastily. This was the first time that Shenhou Secret Realm took the initiative to reward someone. He was looking forward to Shenhou Secret Realm's work.
"The first one!"
Bell's expression suddenly became solemn. He clasped his hands together and silently recited a mysterious spell. As he spoke, he slowly opened his clasped hands, and a weapon emitting a dreamy blue light appeared in his hand.
inside.
"drink!"
Ling Dang held it with one hand, and the weapon suddenly became hundreds of times bigger. It felt strange to hold it in Ling Dang's hand. Ling Dang seemed to feel that it was not very comfortable to hold it like this, so he recited another spell to hold it.
The weapon is shortened to just the right length.
"The Trident of the Sea King, the weapon of the Frost Queen, is it of a higher level...it can barely reach the level of a lower-level artifact." Bell Bar chirped.
"Artifact???"
Liu Zheji's eyes widened. He didn't even have a spiritual treasure. Suddenly, a magical weapon appeared for him to choose. Liu Zheji couldn't control himself at that time.
"Wait! There are two other things I haven't mentioned yet!" Ling Dang shouted hurriedly.
"oh oh!!"
Liu Zheji knew that he had lost his composure, and quickly nodded to signal Lingdang to continue.
"The second item." Ling Dang glanced at Liu Zheji, turned his hand, and a book that was several feet long appeared at its feet. This was the first time Liu Zheji had seen such a huge book. He guessed that this might also be the case.
Related to the Frost Clan.
Sure enough, Ling Dang then pointed to the book and said: "The Secret Book of the Ice God! God-level exercises, which can be practiced up to the realm of gods and demons. After practicing, you can master the power of the black ice cathode and have extraordinary combat effectiveness." After saying this, Ling Dang clicked again.
The book said: "An additional set of offensive and defensive secret techniques and a set of secret techniques are included in the reward."
Liu Zheji shook his head. This technique may be effective for others, but it is of no use to him. The Book of Enlightenment Qiankun can help him select useful techniques at any time. This Ice God Secret Book may be useful to Zheng Yuanying and the others.
It is of great use, but it is useless to you.
"Next."
Liu Zheji said with some waning interest, this second item didn't bring him any surprise. If the third item was like this, he might choose the Neptune Trident.
"This is the third piece." Bell smiled mysteriously, flipped its wrist, and a small bell appeared in its hand. The surface of the bell was made of gold, and it looked ordinary without any patterns.
"Siren Bell, ring the bell to summon a Siren slave to assist the user."
"Is it over?" Liu Zheji couldn't help but wonder when he saw Ling Dang said something casually and then shut up.
"It's over!" Lingdang spread his hands and said.
Liu Zheji's eyes almost popped out of his head. The first two items at least had an explanation. Does this third item only deserve a name?
"Okay! Three rewards have been released, it's up to you which one you choose." Ling Dang glanced at Liu Zheji with one eye.
"this…"
Liu Zheji was in a dilemma. The Poseidon Secret Code could be eliminated first, and the next step was to choose between the Poseidon Trident and the Siren Bell.
"Siren Bell?"
Liu Zheji frowned and looked at the bell in front of him. This thing was obviously released for him to gamble on. The bell didn't mention the function of the siren bell, just to let him gamble!
"Hmph! Are you being suspicious and asking me to choose it? The Siren Bell...how good can a thing that can only summon the Siren be? If you get a Sea King Bell, I might consider it."
Seeing that Liu Zheji's interest in Siren Ling had obviously diminished, Lingdang wanted to give her a slap in the face. When Liu Zheji was about to speak out his answer, Lingdang interjected: "Although the Trident of the Sea King is an artifact, it is
It is built based on the Kraken family. Although it has the function of zooming in and out, the weight is there and it is very difficult for people to use. You should think carefully before choosing."
This time the purpose of the bell could not be more deliberate.
"I choose Siren Bell!" Liu Zheji said after temporarily changing his mind.
"Okay! The Siren Bell is yours!" Ling Dang responded happily, and threw the Siren Bell directly to Liu Zheji as if he had lost some burden. Liu Zheji was shocked when he saw its appearance.
, I seem to have been cheated.
"There used to be many sirens in number and variety, but now only the frost banshees are left, so... you can only summon sirens when you summon them, and there are only a few sirens left. I'll give you the siren bell.
You are responsible for raising them..."
"You're trying to trick me??" Liu Zheji said in shock and anger.
