Chapter 209 Breaking through the desperate situation
Xiao Muchen and his companions were struggling against the constant dangers in the ice cave. Huge ice blocks fell mercilessly like meteorites from outer space, each carrying a tremendous force, smashing shocking deep pits on the ice surface, and ice chips flew everywhere, like sharp hidden weapons flying in the air. They desperately dodged in this chaotic and dangerous scene, and every step they took seemed to be dancing with the god of death, and every second could be the moment of the end of life.
"This is not a solution. We must find the source of all this!" Xiao Muchen shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice was torn into pieces by the howling cold wind and was almost drowned out. But the unyielding flame burning in his eyes was like a beacon in the dark night, pointing the way for everyone. His body had been ruthlessly eroded by the cold, his skin was covered with ice crystals, and every breath was accompanied by piercing pain. However, the fighting spirit in his heart was burning more and more fiercely and could not be extinguished.
Lin Wan'er was shivering from the cold, her delicate body seemed to be shaky in the cold wind. Her lips were purple, and she was shaking so much that she could hardly speak a complete sentence: "But where is the source?" Her eyes were full of confusion and fear, a deep fear of the unknown. But the long sword in her hand was still tightly grasped like steel, and her knuckles turned white because of the force, as if it was her only support in this icy and snowy world, and the last line of defense of her life.
Ye Feng waved his weapon frantically, trying to smash the huge ice blocks that kept approaching. His movements became slow and stiff due to the extreme cold, and every swing was like dragging a heavy object. "No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait to die!" He roared loudly, his voice full of despair and unwillingness. Every time the weapon collided with the ice, it would cause a violent tremor, which made his arms numb and almost unconscious, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to give up the slightest hope.
Ling Shuang's face was as pale as paper, and his eyebrows and hair were covered with thick ice crystals, as if he was wearing an icy crown. His body was shaking, but his mind was working rapidly at this critical moment: "I feel that this cold power seems to be coming from underground!" His voice was weak and trembling, as if it would be swallowed by the cold wind at any time, but this clue was like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing a glimmer of hope to everyone.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the hard and cold ground under their feet. Xiao Muchen gritted his teeth, which clattered because of the cold, as if they would break at any time: "Then let's dig up the ground and find out!" His words were full of determination and decisiveness, without any hesitation or retreat.
After that, they all used all their strength, gathered all their strength in the weapons in their hands, and launched a crazy attack on the ground. In this extremely cold environment, every action seemed extremely difficult. Xiao Muchen waved his Star Sword, and slashed at the ground fiercely with the power of the Phantom God Dark Flame. The blue light of the Phantom God Dark Flame made a "sizzling" sound the moment it touched the ground, but the ground only showed a shallow mark, and was instantly covered by the cold. Ye Feng's weapon hit the ground, and the powerful reaction force instantly rebounded, shaking his arm numb, cracking his knuckles, and blood staining the weapon in his hand red. Lin Wan'er and Ling Shuang also tried their best. Lin Wan'er's long sword stabbed into the ground, but it could only penetrate a few points and could not go any further; Ling Shuang slapped her palms, and the powerful fighting spirit dissipated the moment it touched the ground, leaving only a thin layer of frost.
But they had no intention of giving up. The cold air was like the tentacles of a demon, constantly attacking their bodies. Their muscles gradually became stiff, their blood seemed to be frozen into ice, and every cell was groaning in pain. However, their inner will was like a burning fire, burning more and more vigorously, never extinguished.
After a long and arduous effort, the ground finally broke open under their unremitting attack. A colder and purer breath rushed towards them like a flood, and that breath seemed to be able to freeze a person's soul instantly. However, in that chilling cold, they saw an ice crystal core emitting a dazzling blue light.
"This should be the key to controlling this ice cave!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Xiao Muchen's eyes. The light seemed so weak in this cold environment, yet so precious, like the morning star before dawn.
Just as they were about to carefully approach the core of the ice crystal, the surrounding ice blocks seemed to be suddenly given life, and with endless anger and violence, they launched a frantic attack on them. The ice blocks were like extremely sharp arrows, breaking through the air with astonishing speed and power, making a sharp whistling sound that made people shudder.
"Everyone be careful!" Xiao Muchen shouted loudly, waving the Star Sword and trying to resist the attack of the ice. The Phantom God Dark Flame burned more vigorously at this moment, and the dark blue flame rose up, trying to melt the attacking ice. But the power of the cold was too strong, and the effect of the Phantom God Dark Flame was not ideal. It could only slow down the speed of the ice, but could not completely stop them from moving forward.
Lin Wan'er shouted, and the long sword in her hand danced like flying snowflakes, forming a series of impenetrable sword shadows. Each sword shadow accurately hit the flying ice cubes, breaking them into pieces. But the number of ice cubes was too much, her physical strength was rapidly consumed, and her movements gradually became slow.
Ye Feng, with his agility, dodged flexibly in the cracks of the ice. His figure was like a ghost, moving left and right, up and down, avoiding fatal attacks again and again. However, he was inevitably scratched by some ice fragments, and his clothes were stained red with blood.
Ling Shuang clapped his palms, and the powerful fighting spirit collided violently with the ice, making a deafening sound. Every collision could shatter several pieces of ice, but his hands were also covered in blood due to the recoil force.
Xiao Muchen saw the right moment, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength on his legs, and then rushed to the ice crystal core with all his strength like an arrow from a bow. His figure was looming in the attack of the ice, and every step forward came at a huge price. His clothes were torn by the ice, and his body was covered with wounds, but his eyes were always firmly fixed on the ice crystal core in front of him.
The Star Sword in his hand, with his indomitable momentum, fiercely stabbed at the ice crystal core. At the moment when the Star Sword came into contact with the ice crystal core, an incredibly powerful force rebounded back, like an enraged beast, violently shaking Xiao Muchen away.
Xiao Muchen's body drew a long arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. The huge impact made his internal organs seem to be displaced, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, leaving a shocking red mark on the ice.
"Xiao Muchen!" Lin Wan'er screamed in fear, her voice full of concern and worry. Her eyes instantly became panicked, and she wanted to rush over to check on Xiao Muchen's injuries.
Xiao Muchen fell heavily to the ground, and the collision of his body with the ice made him feel a sharp pain. But he did not hesitate at all and quickly got up from the ground. His eyes were still firm, as if nothing could knock him down.
"I don't believe I can't break it!" Xiao Muchen roared again and rushed towards the ice crystal core. This time, he poured all his fighting spirit into the Star Sword without reservation, and the Phantom God Dark Flame burned more vigorously than ever before, as if it was going to burn the entire ice cave to ashes.
Finally, with Xiao Muchen's unremitting efforts, tiny cracks appeared in the core of the ice crystal. The cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire core like a spider web. The blue light began to become unstable and flicker, and the surrounding cold aura began to gradually weaken, and the ice's attack became slow and weak.
Seeing this, everyone finally smiled with relief on their exhausted faces, and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. However, before they could completely relax, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. Ice blocks in the ice cave fell one after another, making a deafening sound. Huge cracks also appeared in the ice above their heads, and huge ice blocks kept falling down, as if the entire ice cave was about to collapse completely.
"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" Ye Feng shouted in horror, his voice full of despair.
Xiao Muchen endured the severe pain in his body, struggled to stand up, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, find an exit quickly!"
They struggled to find a way out in the shaking ice cave that could collapse at any time. The ice blocks around them kept falling, hitting the ground with a terrifying sound. The danger was like a beast hidden in the darkness, which could devour them at any time.
Just when they were almost in despair, Xiao Muchen, relying on his keen intuition, discovered an extremely faint light.
"That might be the exit!" Xiao Muchen shouted loudly, with a hint of irrepressible excitement in his voice.
When they heard his shout, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and they ran towards the light with all their strength. Behind them was a collapsing ice cave, with huge ice blocks and rocks rolling down like a flood, as if to bury them forever in this cold abyss.
At the critical moment, they finally escaped from the ice cave. In front of them was a vast expanse of snow, the cold wind was still howling, and the snowflakes were falling. But they knew that this was only a temporary respite, and the road ahead was still full of countless unknown dangers and challenges...
