In just a few minutes, the vast swamp was completely covered by crystal clear ice.

Under the effect of light reflection, the brightness of the surrounding environment instantly increased a lot, and the style also changed from a gloomy and terrifying swamp to a dreamy ice and snow world.

However, Gu Shi was not in the mood to appreciate these things at the moment. After confirming that the originally wet swamp had been completely frozen, he began to dig the ground with wind magic.

He first condensed a huge wind gun and drilled a deep crack leading to the underground directly on the ice surface.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shi's magic continued to penetrate deeper along the lines of the cracks. Accompanied by bursts of roars and violent tremors, large areas of the frozen swamp surface were forcibly lifted up by him, and then fell to the ground beside him in a parabolic arc.

Gu Shi demolished the area very quickly, and soon large areas of underground caves were forced to be exposed to the air. Of course, all the monsters that appeared in his sight also lost their lives.

Since Gu Shi caused such a big commotion, it was natural that the monster tribe underground would not have no reaction at all.

After realizing that their nests were about to be destroyed, all the rat-like monsters suddenly rushed out and quickly gathered in the direction where Gu Shi was.

"That's perfect. I don't have to look for them one by one." Gu Shi couldn't help but smile when he saw the monsters rushing towards him to die.

Although there was a huge gap in numbers between Gu Shi and the monsters, the gap in their strength was also huge. These monsters, which were only level five at most, could not cause any harm to him at all.

In this one-sided situation, Gu Shi suddenly discovered a discordant melody among the monsters.

He muttered to himself, "Isn't that monster over there acting a little strange? Hmm? That one is...

Could it be the leader of these monsters?"

Gu Shi focused on observing the place that he felt was wrong, and soon found the special monster hidden among the ordinary monsters - it was much smaller than the surrounding monsters and also different in appearance.

"I don't know what you're planning, but I'm sorry, your plan has to end here!"

Now that he had found the source of the problem, Gu Shi naturally would not leave it alone. With a seventh-level Ice Breaker, the special monster and the ordinary monsters around it were all turned into broken ice chips.

Even though the special monster had discovered Gu Shi's attack intention in advance and made a move to escape, the huge gap in strength between the two sides still caused it to die here.

After dealing with this special monster, Gu Shi's subsequent actions went extremely smoothly.

The terrain here has undergone tremendous changes. The cave under the swamp was completely opened from above by him, and then completely destroyed. The monsters inside were also cleared out.

Gu Shi stood there and stretched. After venting his emotions, he felt extremely relaxed, with a smile on his face.

"Phew, cleanup is done! I haven't felt this unrestrained in ages. Thank you for this gift from nature."

Monster: ??? I really would thank you!

"Okay, let's go back quickly. Uncle Wu and the others must be waiting anxiously."

After successfully reuniting with Wu Jingshan and the other three, Gu Shi used flying skills to take them out of the secret realm.

Gu Shi and Wu Jingshan entered the space rift in the morning. When they came out, the sun had already set.

Everyone immediately used their mobile phones to report their safety to their families. Then, at Wu Jingshan's suggestion, they found a nearby hotel and let the three people, who were covered in mud, take a good bath and change clothes.

They also don't want to go home in such a miserable state and cause people to worry.

On the way back, Wu Jingshan's driving was not as extreme as before. He sent people home one by one according to the distance they lived.

Gu Shi was the third one.

When getting out of the car, Wu Jingshan patted his shoulder and said, "I won't say much else. Xiao Xiao, remember to bring your parents to my house for dinner next time. Uncle Wu promises to treat you to a good meal."

Wu Siyue also smiled and waved to him, "Brother Gu Shi, remember to come!"

"Yeah, I understand."

Gu Shi said goodbye to the two of them and turned back home.

————

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day when Gu Shi had agreed to continue searching for the treasure with Cheng Xuqing and Zhao Zhize.

The three of them met at the hotel as before, and after a night's rest, they set out together into the space rift.

Sitting in a secluded corner of the safe zone, Gu Shi looked at the glittering jade plate in his hand and said, "The remaining two treasures are one in the east and one in the north.

The area to the east is okay, not particularly dangerous. I'll give you a few tools just in case, and the rest you two can handle on your own.

But the north is not so good.”

"The monsters there are of a high level. Even for me, I would probably be in a tough fight if there are so many of them, let alone the two of you.

So we'll probably have to split up later this time, do you have any questions?"

At the end of the last operation, they had already figured out the instructions of this jade plate. The red ones were the treasures that had not been obtained yet, the gray ones were the treasures that had been obtained, and the white ones were their current location.

So now, with the help of the jade plate and the map, they roughly know the locations corresponding to the remaining two positions.

Zhao Zhize shook his head, "No."

Cheng Xuqing waved his hand. "Hey, of course not. I'm alive and well, and I don't have any thoughts of committing suicide."

"Okay, let's go now!"

Gu Shi put the things into the space ring, took out the agreed things and handed them to the two of them, then stood up, dusted off his body and prepared to leave.

The treasure in the east is quite a distance away from the safe zone. In addition, Gu Shi and his team have to take other factors into consideration when deciding their route, so the journey is full of twists and turns. The actual distance they have traveled is many times longer than the straight-line distance on the map.

Finally, after nearly seven days of travel, the three of them finally approached their destination.

"Ahh!" Cheng Xuqing couldn't help but sneeze, rubbing his hands across his chest. "Oh my god, this is too cold! I feel like I'm turning into an ice sculpture."

Zhao Zhize glanced at him in surprise. "Aren't you a fire mage? How can you be so defenseless in a place like this?"

As he spoke, he took out a long, light red robe and said, "Here, put on this coat and be careful not to catch a cold."

"Thank you for saving my life, huh? Wow, this thing can actually generate heat on its own!" Cheng Xuqing was joking when his attention was attracted by the outer robe in his hand.
