But as Xi Xi's fingers touched the stone's patterns, a dazzling emerald light quickly converged along the totem's lines and flowed into her fingertips.

At the same time, a similarly dazzling light rose from deep within the ice, illuminating the entire ice fishing tent through the ice cave.

This feeling is all too familiar! Xi Xi subconsciously looked at the "Blessing with auspicious strokes" tattoo on her wrist.

[System notification: The recognition database has been upgraded. Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading to the third stage.]

[System Notification: Based on the system imprint, the number of times the host can summon the divine brush to draw will increase from 2 times per day to 3 times per day.]

As expected... Xi Xi guessed right. The wisps of misty blue smoke rising around the quill tattoo had changed, blooming into ochre-red flowers.

Xi Xi had already complained that the lack of sunlight in Yu Cui's garden every day was affecting the growth of the fruits and vegetables, so she couldn't help but feel a little happy now.

She glanced at her father, whose face was solemn, before refocusing her gaze on the ice cave.

The existence of stone slabs resembling desert murals beneath the ice layer suggests that this is no ordinary glacier!

Beneath the thick glacier, something extraordinary seems to be hidden!

Two options instantly popped into Xi Xi's mind: one was to use the bamboo from Princess Kaguya as an underwater searchlight, and then use a diving suit and a whale-shaped talisman to go deep into the water to observe; the other was to imitate Li Jinshao and collect various underwater pressure-resistant vehicle modification materials for the vehicle body.

The problem is that they cannot stay away from the heating system for long periods of time. Even if they dive to a deep place by vehicle, they cannot leave the RV, let alone venture alone into the frigid waters.

Furthermore, Xi Xi's thermostatic cloak is not a sealed diving suit; it can only keep you warm within a certain range. In the blizzard, wind would occasionally sneak in, often making you shiver from the cold.

Previously, she had also tried using the magic pen to draw a trap for the head-covering bodysuit, but it was rejected by the magic pen because it was "out of the range of material library recognition".

Just as Xi Xi was pondering, the walkie-talkie in her pocket crackled to life.

"Sister, something's wrong!"

"We are currently in the same ice fissure area as last time. Just now, a bright light suddenly flashed out from that ice fissure canyon..."

Xi Xi raised an eyebrow, her gaze quickly meeting her father's. There seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them; they instantly grasped each other's thoughts. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately stood up and began to act.

In the deep, icy valley, a chilling atmosphere permeated everything, a serene and mysterious ambiance. The biting cold emanated from the depths of the ice fissures, a chill that seemed to penetrate to the very marrow, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.

When Xi Xi arrived, this was the scene she saw.

She paced back and forth, carefully observing her surroundings. Then she stopped and said thoughtfully, "So, this ice valley is connected to the glacier. And judging from the distance, the space underneath must be quite large."

After speaking, Xi Xi told Cheng Xu and Cheng's father about the same light she had seen in the ice fishing hole, but she still didn't mention anything about the "blessing of the writing brush" or the blue stone slab.

"There must be something down there!" Cheng Xu excitedly agreed, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation, even eager to find out.

He quickly activated the high-magnification light screen camera, attempting to peer through the thick ice layer to see what was below. However, all he could see was a deep, dark blue expanse, like an endless abyss, with absolutely no details visible.

“This is way too deep…” Mr. Cheng frowned, expressing his concern about the young man’s risky behavior. “Just the way up and down is already a big problem.”

Xi Zhongcang, who had been silent for a while, suddenly looked at Xi Xi and asked, "Where's your retractable ladder? It might work. Why don't you bring it over and give it a try?"

Xi Xi seemed to have considered this aspect long ago, and decisively waved her hand, rejecting the idea: "It's too deep, and besides, it's outdoors. In this kind of blizzard, the ladder will freeze very quickly."

"This makes it very easy to slip, and going up and down is not only inconvenient, but the body temperature may not be able to support it."

After listening to Xi Xi's analysis, Cheng Xu had to admit that the risk was too great. He sighed helplessly and said, "It is indeed too difficult to handle..." For a moment, all four of them fell silent.

Xi Xi, on the other hand, did not linger in one place. She looked around at the terrain, seemingly calculating something.

Suddenly, she looked up and stared straight at Cheng Xu, as if she had thought of something.

Cheng Xu felt a little uneasy under her gaze. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "Just tell me what's wrong, sis! Seeing you staring at me like that makes me feel uneasy, haha..."

Before long, the three vehicles arrived near the Ice Rift Valley and set up camp again on a relatively safe flat area.

Cheng Xu didn't expect that Xi Xi wanted to use the deep-sea fishing reel mounted on his RV.

It was dismantled from an abandoned cargo ship by everyone before. Later, Cheng Xu's family took charge of fishing at sea, so they used a custom vehicle-mounted symbol to install it on.

The fishing rods and lines provided in the survival game are easy to understand, and the deep-sea boat fishing reel is much longer than the boat fishing lines in the original world, with a casting depth of 2000-3500 meters.

"Don't move!" Xi Xi tied the end of the fishing line tightly to Cheng Xu's ankle.

"Sis! I really can't!" Cheng Xu's legs went weak with fear, and he couldn't help but say, "Bungee jumping is too scary! I really can't! I really can't!!"

Putting aside the fact that it's just a fishing line, let's talk about the way it's tied to the foot... This is hardly the setup you'd expect for bungee jumping!
