Chapter 799 Challenge Dungeon 54
The next second, her figure disappeared from the hotel room in the ice and snow city.
……
After a moment of compression and weightlessness, both feet touched the ground.
An indescribable chill instantly enveloped my entire body, several times more terrifying than the low temperatures of an ice and snow city!
It felt as if even the soul was being frozen.
Even though she had taken the Cold-Resistant Pill beforehand and activated her spiritual power to protect herself, Yun Chu still couldn't help but shiver.
Before me lay absolute stillness and pure white.
The sky was a depressing leaden gray, devoid of sun, moon, and stars.
The earth was covered with an unknown thickness of black ice, as hard as iron, which shimmered with a faint blue light.
The gale seemed to be frozen here, with only a faint, ghostly whimpering sound of airflow.
As far as the eye can see, there are countless jagged and bizarre ice pillars, icebergs, and ice fissures, forming a boundless, labyrinthine, and terrifying ice abyss.
We've arrived at the frigid abyss.
Almost at the same time she appeared, cracking sounds came from the surrounding ice and icebergs.
Strange shadows emerged from the ice—grotesque monsters made entirely of ice.
Ice elemental giants, two-headed ice wolves, floating ice crystal ghosts, and even small ice worms surging like a tide... They sensed the presence of living beings and the repulsion of the "other world," and like sharks smelling blood, they pounced madly.
The sheer number of them created a surging, icy blue tide in the blink of an eye!
Yun Chu's eyes turned cold, and she didn't hesitate.
With a thought, a streak of crimson-gold light shot out from her sleeve, growing longer in the wind!
They really are fire iron flying ants!
At this moment, the Fire Iron Flying Ant was no longer in its miniature form during reconnaissance, but had revealed its combat stance.
Its body swelled to the size of a calf, its entire body covered in dark gold carapace engraved with natural flame patterns, its compound eyes were scarlet, its mouthparts were sharp, its six legs were like knives, and its three pairs of semi-transparent wings vibrated at high speed, emitting a deep hum.
What's most astonishing is the intense heat that naturally emanates from it, so out of place in this extremely cold environment—it's the lingering aura of a very high-grade immortal fire!
"hiss--!"
The Fire Iron Flying Ant let out a sharp screech, showing no fear in the face of the surging tide of ice monsters.
Its form transformed into a streak of crimson-gold lightning, charging into the monster horde!
Wherever it went, the heatwave raged!
The dark golden figure darted through the icy blue tide, its sharp foot blades easily slicing through the ice monster's hard body, and the scorching breath spewed from its mouth could instantly vaporize spirit monsters like the Ice Crystal Ghost!
It doesn't even need any complicated moves; it relies solely on the suppression of its immortal rank, its extreme speed and power, and its innate resistance to ice and cold attributes to act like a tiger among sheep!
"Crack! Boom! Sizzle—!"
The sounds of the ice monster shattering, exploding, and melting were incessant.
Swarms of ice monsters were reduced to dust or melted into water by the impact of the fire iron flying ants, and then instantly frozen.
Yun Chu was not idle.
While maintaining her spiritual energy to protect herself from the all-pervasive extreme cold, she held talismans to eliminate any stragglers, and simultaneously directed the fire iron flying ants to rush towards the direction of the permafrost core fluctuations sensed by the King's Soul Mark.
With the Fire Iron Flying Ants clearing the way, the monster horde on the outskirts of the abyss, which was enough to wipe out most players, was actually torn open by them!
Yun Chu followed closely behind, her figure nimbly moving among the ice pillars and icebergs, continuously venturing deeper.
The deeper you go, the colder it gets, and the stronger the ice monsters become. Some elite-level ice elemental lords even begin to appear.
However, the Fire Iron Flying Ants demonstrated the absolute strength of a Celestial-level spirit pet, often tearing apart or melting an Ice Elemental Lord in just a few rounds.
Yun Chu's pressure mainly comes from the environment—her spiritual energy is being consumed at an alarming rate, and the cold air is constantly eroding her protective aura, requiring her to take pills from time to time to replenish it.
And so, with the powerful guidance of the Fire Iron Flying Ants, Yun Chu made a difficult but determined journey towards the core of the permafrost for three days.
Finally, after passing through a canyon formed by countless huge ice spikes that acted as a natural barrier, the sight before her made her hold her breath.
This is an incredibly vast ice basin.
In the center of the basin, there is no ice, no snow, only a bottomless, deep blue vortex with a diameter of over a kilometer.
The vortex is not water, but extremely cold energy so concentrated that it has turned into liquid and is slowly rotating!
At the center of the vortex, a dazzling, blindingly bright, icy blue light, seemingly embodying all the coldness and silence of the world, flickers and pulsates rhythmically.
Each flicker of light caused the icy energy throughout the basin to tremble, radiating outwards in visible icy blue ripples.
Wherever the ripples passed, space was slightly distorted, producing fine black ice cracks.
A terrifying suction force emanated from the vortex, as if it wanted to devour all heat and life.
Permafrost core!
As soon as she approached the edge of the basin, Yun Chu felt her protective aura shake violently, and her soul felt as if it were being frozen and torn apart.
The snowflake mark on his wrist suddenly became hot, emitting a soft, icy blue halo, which barely offset some of the rejection from the world's rules and the direct pressure from the core.
It is here.
Yun Chu took a deep breath, suppressing all distracting thoughts.
Instead of approaching the core vortex rashly, she began to set up a sealing array along the edge of the basin, following a plan she had already rehearsed countless times.
The first thing is positioning.
Based on the core energy fluctuations and terrain orientation, combined with the principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and the Nine Palaces, she precisely calculated the positions of the thirty-six array points.
Then, she took action.
Its movements were as swift as lightning, skimming rapidly along the edge of the basin.
At each key point of the formation, he would throw down a meticulously crafted jade array flag and insert several stabilizing talismans and spiritual energy anchors.
This process must be fast, accurate, and steady, without the slightest error; otherwise, the formation will become unbalanced, and all previous efforts will be in vain.
At the same time, it must withstand the impact of the violent, cold energy that naturally dissipates within the basin, as well as the extremely corrosive icy blue light spots that occasionally splash out from the energy vortex.
Fire-Iron Flying Ants hovered above her, alert to any potential changes, and helped her disperse some of the overly dense energy shocks.
Setting up the battle flags took most of the day.
As the last banner returned to its place, thirty-six points of silver-blue light simultaneously lit up at the edge of the basin, faintly forming a huge and mysterious pattern that resonated subtly with the permafrost core in the center.
The next step is the most crucial one—setting up the central array and activating the entire array.
Yun Chu arrived at the calculated key point, located at the intersection of the array's life gate and the core energy flow.
She took out the Star Sand Array Disc and floated it in front of her.
His hands moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, forming complex hand seals. The boundless spiritual power, mixed with his understanding of the sealing laws, transformed into streams of light and entered the array plate.
At the same time, she focused on manipulating and guiding the spiritual power of the thirty-six array flags, slowly connecting them with the array plate.
"Qian represents Heaven, Kun represents Earth, Zhen represents Thunder, Xun represents Wind, Kan represents Water, Li represents Fire, Gen represents Mountain, and Dui represents Lake... The eight directions are positioned, the five elements rotate, sealing Heaven and locking Earth, suppressing all evil!"
