Chapter 480 - 480 The Ice Cave In The Secluded Mountain Range
480 The Ice Cave In The Secluded Mountain Range
As one of the top powerhouses in the universe, Ling Yi’s flying speed was extremely fast.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at one of the five great Danger Zones— outside the Ice Cave in the secluded mountains.
This place was located in the middle of a mountain range filled with cold fog. However, a large number of players could still be seen in the surroundings.
When entering the Great World from the New World, players were randomly sent to a location.
Some were randomly teleported to the Primeval Forest, some were randomly teleported to nearby areas, and so on.
“Should we clear the area?”
Lin Ying asked after killing a few players who came to court death.
“Sure.”
Ling Yi looked around and nodded slightly. He raised his hand again and pulled out another Starfall.
The huge light in the sky instantly attracted the attention of countless people. When they looked up at the flame star, they were all scared out of their wits.
“Starfall, Starfall, Starfall! 01’s here!”
“Everyone, stop fighting! There’s still a glimmer of hope if we return to where we are!”
“…”
Ling Yi held Lin Ying’s hand and flew into the Ice Cave.
There were still many players at the entrance of the Ice Cave, and when they saw him coming over, they all fell silent.
[You have absorbed 77 fear points from Wang Yun.]
[You have absorbed 63 curiosity points from Bai Feng.]
[You have absorbed 81 tension points from Enov.]
[…]
Ling Yi and Lin Ying didn’t pay any attention to them and walked in with large strides.
BOOM—!
The flame star landed on the ground, and the boundless energy caused the entire cave to shake violently. It was as if an endless amount of energy was spurting out of the hole and rapidly surging to every corner of the cave.
Ling Yi pulled Lin Ying into his arms and activated invincibility.
Whoosh—!!!
“Waa… No matter how many times I see it, it’s too powerful.”
If not for the protection of the invisible barrier, Lin Ying would have been blinded by the bright light outside.
“Hehe, it’s alright.” Ling Yi said humbly.
[You placed a Starfall here, and the energy waves of the flame star spread into the hole.]
[You have underestimated the power of your Starfall. I didn’t expect that the flying flames of a big flame star would be able to kill all the demons in the frozen serene ridge.]
[You feel like you can easily enter the depths of the Ice Cave.]
At the same time as the three notifications appeared, a massive number of kill notifications also appeared in front of him.
[You have killed Yun Wang. You have received 666 gold coins, C-grade item ‘super glue’]
[Double gold coins: gold coins +666]
[You have killed Frosty Mist Bear (LV92, elite), exp +4 (45%), divine essence +9]
[Double gold coins: Divine essence +9]
[You have obtained the 6-star skill ‘Bear Pounce’]
[…]
“Eh?”
Ling Yi looked at the cave in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
“What’s wrong?”
“The reason why this Ice Cave is so dangerous is mainly because of the danger that is everywhere, right?”
“Yes. For example, an invisible poisonous mist that can make people lose. percentage of their life force every second, or a strange stone that can make people fall into an illusion…”
“Then as long as I activate the invisible shield, I can directly walk through it, right?”
“Uh… It seems to be the case.”
“Hahaha! Then let’s go!”
Ling Yi laughed out loud and continued driving forward.
[You have come to a corner. The stone pillar at the corner will cause people with long-term vision to fall into an illusion, but you have ignored it.]
…
[You are flying in a Bat Cave where you can’t even see your own fingers. There are no bats here now, only strange sounds that can make people fall unconscious. You ignored them.]
…
[You have passed through a small hole, ignored the attack of the hidden mechanism, and arrived at the depths of the cave.]
The Ice Cave was very big. Even though they were using their invincibility to move forward at full speed, it still took them close to two minutes to reach the depths of the cave.
This was a sealed area surrounded by stones on all four sides, about 200 square meters in total. It was like the bottom of a deep well. Looking up, one could see a blazing gem tied to the top of the cave, casting a bright light like the sun.
On the green grass, colorful flowers made the place even more beautiful.
“Is this the end of the Ice Cave? I thought there was some big treasure.”
Lin Ying looked around and pouted her lips in disappointment.
“There’s no one here, and the environment is not bad. Why don’t we…” She said with a smile.
“Stop it.”
Ling Yi flicked Lin Ying’s forehead and looked up at the fire gem hanging on the ceiling. He chuckled. “Ice Cave, Ice Cave. Not only is there no ice at the bottom of the last cave, but there’s also this kind of gem. Don’t you think it’s very abrupt?”
“What do you mean?”
“You think that this might have been left behind by someone else, so maybe it’s necessary to take it down and have a look.”
“It’s someone else’s.”
He stretched out his hand and called for the wind to blow the gem off.
This fire gem was about the height of two people and two meters wide. When Ling Yi took it down, an extremely cold wind suddenly blew from the top of his head.
The two of them looked up and saw that there was a hole the width of a person where the fire gem had been.
A bone-chilling cold air was pouring out of it.
“It seems that this gem is used to block the hole.” Lin Ying understood in an instant.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Ling Yi’s goal in coming here was to obtain more passive skills like [Strength of The Brute Stone] that could increase damage output.
Therefore, as long as he didn’t get it, he would continue to move in the direction indicated.
Braving the cold air, he was the first to fly into the cave.
It was extremely dark in the cave, so he had to take out the Luminous Pearl.
[Luminous Pearl (E)]: Able to illuminate an area of one kilometer.
In an instant, the cave’s environment came into view.
Grayish-white ice covered every corner, and large ice cones could be seen on the top of the cave. High ice slopes spread out in all directions, and when one looked up, one could see that the layers were clearly separated and disorderly.
The human-shaped ice sculptures that could be seen everywhere added a sense of horror to the secluded cave.
Some of them were lying on the ice, some were in a fighting position with swords in their hands, and some were kneeling on the ground and worshiping in one direction…
A one-centimeter-thick layer of ice covered their bodies, and their expressions could still be clearly seen.
“Oh… This is…”
Lin Ying was slightly shocked. She pretended to be weak and cowered in Ling Yi’s arms.
The latter speechlessly held her in his arms, stroking her head while scanning the statue with his [Eye of Truth].
“Eh? They are all players.”
“Players?”
“Yes.”
“It looks like they have been sealed in ice for a long time… So it turns out that there were people who came to the bottom of this place before.”
Lin Ying looked at the people who were in combat positions. There were no demons in front of them.
“Then what were they fighting with at that time?”
Ling Yi raised his head to look at the top of the cave. The highest ice slope was still emitting a faint light.
“We’ll know once we go up and take a look.”
The two of them flew up into the sky and arrived at the top of the ice slope.
On the left was a three-meter-tall skeleton holding a bead in its hand. It was emitting a cold blue light.
On the right, there was a woman and a man. The man looked young and handsome, and the long sword in his hand pierced the woman’s heart from behind.
The woman in the middle was petite and seemed to be only 1.6 meters tall. She wore a purple and gold robe and was decorated with a large number of jewels, looking very luxurious.
