Chapter 94 A Good Knife "From today on, I will skate...

"From today on, I will learn to ice skate." Liu Shu lowered her head. She was observing the ice layer. Compared with the place she had just discovered, the traces of water erosion were very obvious under the thick ice layer here. Round stones were lying underneath, as if they were frozen in an instant.

"It feels like the air is frozen." Strange slowed down.

"That... means we are almost there." Loki exhaled, but there was no white mist.

They had been walking for a long time, and even the aircraft that went to explore the exit had returned. It was time for them to arrive. Liu Shu saw the icicle above his head. Fortunately, it would not suddenly break and hit them on the head.

"This is the water source." Tony's words made everyone stop.

The cave also makes a turn here, and the road ahead goes deeper underground.

"They must have been disappointed when they got here." Liu Shu discovered knife marks on the wall.

"The upward passage in a natural cave isn't necessarily the exit. Those guys were so amateurish." Tony turned to look at Strange. "Is he still alive?"

"You can live." He nodded.

Hearing him finally say something affirmative, Liu Shu felt relieved. "You actually stopped riddling."

"Is 'Riddler' actually an adjective in Gotham?" Strange smiled and waved, then continued forward.

"…Just take it as it is."

The slightly inclined downhill slope with ice cubes allows people to slide faster and faster as they go down.

Fortunately, there are people who can fly and can control the speed.

A glimmer of light actually appeared in the area ahead that was not covered by the illumination magic.

"I saw it." Liu Shu grabbed Loki who was about to fall. He had no idea how many times he had done that along the way.

Someone was squatting there, more like curled up than squatting.

One of his legs was tied with a simple bandage made of torn clothes, and two people were taking care of him, one on each side, holding water cups and flashlights in their hands.

The bodies of these three people were covered with thick ice, and the expressions on their faces could not hide their worries, but there was no despair.

They slowly approached.

"What about the other one?" Secretary Liu remembered Jarvis saying there were four people.

"Deeper." Strange did not stop.

They could only pass by the three explorers who looked like statues and move forward.

Then, at the end of the ice cave, they saw an ice sculpture with its back to them.

This ice sculpture just stays here quietly, as if it will look at the wall forever.

In his hand was a dagger, simple and sharp. After someone came here, it began to flash like a breathing light. It was very conspicuous and could be distinguished from an ordinary dagger at a glance.

"The ice in the entire cave is a kind of magic. After it is removed by the Dragon Blade, they can all move normally and won't even remember being stuck in the ice." Loki wanted to take off the artifact.

"It's really good." Strange stopped him and took the Dragon Blade.

Like a villain, Liu Shu really wanted to remind him to watch his words, but there seemed to be no one else here.

"Why do you look even more evil than him?" Tony crossed his arms and looked at the dagger with some distrust. "Will this thing really work? Can these ice lumps be melted by moving them back to the lab?"

"It is indeed magic. Freezing in the magical sense and freezing in the physical sense are two completely different concepts." In Strange's hand was the floating Dragon Blade, but he did not hold it.

"No ordinary fire can dissolve these." Without the chance to touch the weapon, Loki had to put his hand down, but he raised his head and continued to explain, as if he wanted to mock Tony's short-sightedness.

"Can't you melt the ice without it?" There was some confusion in Tony's eyes. He didn't think this kind of thing could stump Doctor Strange.

"Ordinary freezing magic has no locks, although it cannot be thawed by ordinary methods, such as temperature. Of course, the methods used by some weak wizards may be able to..." Strange did not continue floating in the sky, he stepped on the ground.

"The magic of this Dragon Blade is locked, and it will take some time to break it, but we all have the key, so why should we break the lock?" He shook his head and grabbed the dagger with his other hand.

"I'm going to undo the magic." Strange said as if to say that he was going to eat.

Before Liu Shu could prepare, all the ice disappeared starting from under his feet. It happened in an instant, without any special effects or foreshadowing.

For magic weapons, this might be a small magic. Liu Shu looked at the person who had been frozen just now.

There were no traces on his clothes, only his shoes were a little wet, which might have been left by him walking in the underground river a few days ago.

"Huh?" The explorer first looked at his hands, then turned around and looked at the people behind him in surprise.

"Are you here to rescue people?" He spoke quickly, not sounding like a question but rather as if he had confirmed it.

"Of course, but don't jump into a pit so easily next time," Tony said as he let the cloak down on him.

Because of his actions, the man seemed to have less trust in them.

"Go back and see your companions." Liu Shu reminded him.

"I'm curious, how do you use that dragon nail clipper?" Tony not only has no good image, but also always asks tricky questions.

"Dragon...nail clippers?" The explorer looked puzzled, but he quickly realized, "When I reached the end, a voice told me to look at it..."

He reacted too quickly. Liu Shu wanted to tell him the real name of the dagger that saved him. This person must be a problem. How could he accept this name so quickly?

"It's still a good knife," Tony muttered to himself not too quietly. He turned around to look at a certain evil god and asked very rudely: "Hey, are you sure this is your weapon?"

"Of course, I just don't use it very often. What do you want to say?" Loki frowned.

"This isn't right, shouldn't an object resemble its owner?" Tony's provocation was probably like this all the time.

"Asia, you're back. Did you find the exit?"

The explorer walking in the front finally saw his companions again.

"Great!" His companions looked at the people behind them in surprise. Although they didn't know why there was a little girl among the rescuers, seeing a stranger meant that they were saved.

The man named Asia nodded solemnly. He didn't mention that there was no way out. After seeing the flying red blanket, he decided to trust these weirdos.

"Wow! It's Iron Man!" The injured man seemed to recognize someone.

"Yes, do you need an autograph?" Tony raised his eyebrows. He knew that no one would not recognize him.

"Thank you, thank you..." The injured man patted his companion's shoulder. "No, aren't we in Gotham? Hallucination?"

His companions helped him up and said, "Talk less. You are out of energy because you talk too much. Thank you. How are we going to get out?" He looked at Tony.

Tony looked at Strange again.

"Let's go." Strange opened a portal. He knew he was going to do this.

"In front of the hospital?" Liu Shu felt many strange looks the moment he walked out of the portal.

It was a bit high-profile, with a lot of people watching, but no one came over.

"Just send it here," Strange put away the dagger, "My mission is accomplished."

"Thank you!" After expressing their gratitude, the four explorers helped the unfortunate injured person into the hospital.

"You should give it back to me." Loki looked at Strange. He didn't want the artifact to fall into his hands.

"Don't worry, I will throw it back to Asgard." Strange said indifferently. He never looked down on these things.

"How long are you going to stand there?" Liu Shu asked Jarvis to pass a message to the three people standing in the open space. She didn't want to endure the gazes of the people coming and going.

"Oh, it's because I'm so famous." Tony walked behind the tree where she was hiding. He had just signed several autographs for people.

Liu Shu looked at the aircraft and asked, "Is he always like this?"

"Most of the time." The light on the machine Jarvis was operating flashed twice.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Is it hard? I'm telling the truth." Tony grabbed the aircraft, as if to put it away and get things done. He looked more relaxed.

"Are you going back then?" He had already gotten the artifact, and luckily nothing happened. He unexpectedly saved a few people.

"No, isn't there a party? I'll be staying here for a few more days. The previous cooperation with Wayne Group is also..." Tony said halfway, and waved his hand, "Now is the break time, let's not talk about work."

"Well, what about them both?"

"I'm waiting for Thor to come to Earth. It's the same whether I wait in New York or here." Strange walked over with Loki.

Waiting for parents to take their children home, right? Liu Shu looked at the road and saw a familiar car parked there. It was the one they were in today. Jarvis turned it over.

"So you are going to the Wayne family's party together?" In this case, the feasibility of certain things is too great. Liu Shu thought about what was about to happen.

"Actually, I don't want to bring two men with me. It's weird, but there's no other choice." Tony glanced at his companion with some disgust.

"I'm invited too." Strange looked back at him with an expression that said he was being unreasonable.

"You're invited only if you come with me," Tony argued as he opened the car door.

"Whatever you say."

It was quite entertaining. Liu Shu got into the car very skillfully. The two people seemed to be performing crosstalk. Listening to them chatting during the car ride was not boring at all.

She looked at Loki, who hadn't spoken for a long time. He seemed to be looking in the direction of the hospital.

"He didn't say what he did." Loki said something incoherent.

Is the 'he' here referring to the explorer, Asia?

"He may think that it is not a big deal." Liu Shu still had a deep impression of that man, probably because he was calm enough.

"But his actions saved everyone, so why didn't he tell him that there was no way out?" Loki turned around, knowing that telling the truth would further make his companions grateful to him.
