Chapter 208 Ice and Fire 2 Heavens
After the mysterious voice disappeared, Xiao Muchen and the others fell into a suffocating silence. The air seemed to freeze, and an invisible pressure weighed heavily on their hearts like a dark cloud as heavy as a mountain, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
"What will this test be?" Lin Wan'er asked in a trembling voice. Her face, which was once as beautiful as a flower, was now full of anxiety and fear, and her eyes revealed a deep worry about the unknown. The voice was trembling, and it seemed particularly clear in this silent space, but it was instantly swallowed up by boundless fear.
No one could answer her question immediately, because in the next second, the surrounding scene suddenly changed drastically. They seemed to be thrown into a blazing sea of fire by an invisible, irresistible force. The blazing flames were like a raging beast, jumping and roaring wildly, and every dance was full of the momentum of destroying everything. The rolling heat waves came with overwhelming force, and the scorching temperature seemed to be able to melt steel in an instant, as if it was going to swallow them up in an instant, leaving no residue behind.
"Everyone be careful!" Xiao Muchen shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice almost drowned out by the roar of the sea of fire. But he held the Star Sword tightly in his hand, the blade flashing with a faint light, as if making his last struggle in the endless flames. Veins popped out on his forehead, sweat fell like rain, but he didn't bother to wipe it off, his eyes fixed on the flames around him, ready to respond to any possible danger at any time.
Ye Feng was extremely anxious, and he swung the weapon in his hand desperately, and madly attacked the burning flames. His eyes were full of despair and anger, and he used up all his strength every time he swung, as if he wanted to vent the fear and anxiety in his heart with this attack. However, every time he attacked, it was like a small stone thrown into the sea. Not only did it not have any effect, but it seemed to anger the sea of fire. The flames instantly became more ferocious, and pounced on them with fangs and claws. The tip of the flames seemed like the claws of a devil, trying to drag them into an endless abyss.
Ling Shuang frowned, trying to keep himself calm in this extreme danger. His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, not missing any tiny corners. Every glance was full of vigilance and thinking, trying to find a glimmer of hope in this seemingly unsolvable dilemma. "I'm afraid this is not an ordinary flame. We have to find a way to crack it." Although his voice was steady, the slightly trembling tone still exposed his inner tension and anxiety.
At this moment, Xiao Muchen discovered that the Phantom God Flame on his Star Sword, which had always been invincible, was actually suppressed in this sea of fire. The originally dark blue and blazing fire was now dim, as if it had lost its power in the face of this terrifying high temperature. Xiao Muchen's heart tightened, and he knew that this meant that the predicament they were facing was more difficult than they had imagined.
Sweat dripped down Lin Wan'er's face like rain, and the moment it came into contact with the high temperature, it turned into steam and disappeared. Her beautiful face was distorted by fear and the high temperature, and her originally rosy lips were now cracked and white. "If this goes on, we will be roasted!" She shouted desperately, her voice full of fear of death. Her body trembled slightly, and the long sword in her hand seemed to become extremely heavy.
Xiao Muchen took a deep breath, trying to calm his rapidly beating heart. He knew that at this critical moment of life and death, only by staying calm could he have a glimmer of hope. He closed his eyes tightly, blocked out the noise and fear around him, and tried to make his mind clear. When he opened his eyes again, there was more determination and resoluteness in his eyes. His eyes searched hard in the sea of fire, not missing any possible clues. Suddenly, he found some strange runes flickering in the sea of fire, as if telling them some secrets.
"Maybe these runes are the key!" Xiao Muchen shouted loudly, with a hint of excitement and hope in his voice. His voice seemed so small in the roar of the sea of fire, but it was like a ray of dawn, illuminating the desperate hearts of everyone.
When everyone heard his shout, their spirits lifted, as if they had seen a ray of light in the darkness. They immediately concentrated their energy and focused all their attention on those mysterious runes. However, under the scorching heat, their physical strength was quickly consumed, and every breath became extremely difficult. Every movement seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Every blink of an eye seemed to have experienced a long century, and every thought was accompanied by unbearable pain.
Xiao Muchen's eyes were fixed on the flashing runes, and his brain was working rapidly, trying to decipher the mysteries hidden in them. Sweat kept dripping from his forehead, blurring his vision, but he didn't dare to be distracted. He tried to find the pattern in every shape of the runes and every flashing rhythm. The lines of the runes were complex and twisted, as if they were an ancient mysterious language, telling him the secrets of the ancient times.
"I seem to have discovered some patterns!" Xiao Muchen shouted excitedly. His voice became hoarse from shouting for a long time, but it was full of strength at this moment. There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope. He began to instruct everyone to adjust their positions and power output according to his understanding.
Everyone gritted their teeth and used up their last bit of strength to follow Xiao Muchen's instructions. Every step was full of hardship, and every output of strength seemed to exhaust all their energy. Their steps were heavy and slow, and under the scorching heat, every move was accompanied by great pain. But they did not give up, and the desire to survive in their hearts supported them to move forward. Their eyes were firm, and they conveyed silent encouragement and support to each other.
Slowly, a miracle happened. The raging flames began to show signs of weakening. The temperature of the flames seemed to be no longer so hot, and the fire was no longer so fierce. The originally dazzling flames began to dim, and the scorching breath gradually subsided.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the scene changed again in a shocking way. This time, they seemed to have instantly fallen from the blazing fire of hell into an extremely cold ice cave.
The bone-chilling cold wind whistled in like a sharp ice knife, piercing through their clothes and stabbing straight into their bones. Everything around them was instantly covered with a thick layer of ice, and the cold air filled every corner. The cold seemed to be able to freeze a person's soul, making it impossible for them to move.
"Just out of the sea of fire, and into the ice cave again!" Ye Feng couldn't help but complain loudly. His body was shaking violently due to the extreme cold, his teeth were chattering constantly, and he could hardly hold the weapon in his hand. His voice trembled in the cold wind, full of helplessness and despair.
But they had no time to complain or lament the injustice of fate. In this extremely cold environment, any delay could result in them being frozen into ice sculptures. They had to adapt to this new environment as quickly as possible and find a way to pass the test.
Xiao Muchen tried to move his frozen fingers, trying to keep himself awake. His eyes searched hard in the ice and snow, hoping to find a clue. His eyebrows and hair were covered with frost, and his body was shaking constantly, but his will was as firm as steel.
Lin Wan'er's lips had turned purple from the cold, and her body was shaking constantly, but she still held the sword tightly in her hand, and her eyes revealed an unyielding will. Her eyes were firm and persistent, as if telling this cold world that she would never give in easily.
Ling Shuang took steps with difficulty in the cold wind, trying to find the source of the cold. Each of his steps left deep footprints, but they were instantly covered by ice and snow. Suddenly, he found some vague patterns in the snow.
"Look everyone!" Ling Shuang shouted loudly, his voice sounded very weak in the cold wind.
Everyone gathered around and carefully observed these mysterious patterns. Xiao Muchen's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had caught a glimpse of key information from these patterns.
Just as they were about to follow the instructions of the pattern, the surrounding ice and snow suddenly began to riot. Huge ice blocks fell from the sky, and deep cracks appeared on the ground. Cold air gushed out from the cracks, as if to drag them into an endless abyss. The ice blocks fell like huge mountains, carrying the power to destroy everything.
Xiao Muchen shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't panic, keep your footing!"
They struggled desperately on the brink of life and death, and launched a thrilling contest with this harsh environment. Every falling piece of ice was a fatal threat, and every crack was a trap leading to death. But they still did not give up, and the faith in their hearts was like a burning flame, supporting them to continue fighting.
