Qiao Yuan's words were three parts truth and three parts falsehood; it all depended on whether Ye Hong believed them all.
In fact, Qiao Yuan is ambitious and wants to take the whole world under her control, just like Ye Hong. When that time comes, she will become incredibly powerful, and Qiao He will no longer be able to threaten her. She will crush her as easily as killing an ant.
A cruel glint appeared in Qiao Yuan's eyes. She secretly told herself, "Great, soon Qiao He will no longer be her match."
But just as they entered the cave, the ground suddenly shook violently. It was as if the iceberg knew their intentions and was not going to let them in!
Ye Hong shouted, "Stay close to me!"
In the next instant, Ye Hong disappeared into the cave. Qiao Yuan dared not relax and gritted her teeth to keep up, but she was still shaken down by a sudden collapse of the ice layer.
Qiao Yuan only had time to cover her body with the dense dodder vines before she could no longer see any light.
Qiao Yuan's body trembled. She felt an icy cold, so cold, so incredibly cold!
What on earth is going on in this godforsaken place? We finally managed to kill the shadow and replica of the iceberg, and now they're causing trouble again.
Qiao Yuan tried to move the thick layer of ice pressing down on her, but she failed, because it was like a cage made of ice, designed to trap them here.
When Qiao Yuan entered the cave, several other people followed her in, but they were too slow and probably collapsed at the entrance.
She tried to sense the location of the puppets, and sure enough, they were all very far away.
Qiao Yuan cursed under her breath, damn it! Her abilities were indeed insufficient, but...
If she has a little more time, she should be able to get out of here.
By the time she gets out, she might not be able to find Ye Hong anymore. His speed is so fast that it's practically teleportation; a normal person wouldn't be able to see how Ye Hong moves at all.
It's normal that Qiao Yuan couldn't keep up. This is a critical moment, and it's also normal that Ye Hong didn't come back to help her. Everyone wants to survive. If it were Qiao Yuan, she wouldn't have turned around to look at Ye Hong either.
Qiao Yuan quickly adjusted her mindset.
She took a deep breath, and in an instant, she released a lot of dodder vines from her body. Then, those vines wrapped around the ice pressing down on her, like strong ropes pushing the ice layer away.
But it seemed that the iceberg knew what she had done, and at that moment he actually exerted pressure, pressing Qiao Yuan down hard once again.
Qiao Yuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Her eyes widened in the darkness, filled with terrifying blood vessels. She was both angry and afraid. This time, she truly sensed that the iceberg was enraged, and it looked like he was going to kill them all.
Yes, when they entered the iceberg, the iceberg had already shown signs of trying to exclude them, but the iceberg ultimately failed.
As they continued to descend, the iceberg emerged again, now enraged. No matter how much Qiao Yuan struggled, she had no way to escape.
Just then, Qiao Yuan suddenly sensed a strange power coming from nearby.
It was a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar force.
What is it?
I feel like I've seen it somewhere before!
Before Qiao Yuan could "see" what it was, she felt the surrounding ice seemed to come alive, wriggling consciously and then growing sharp spikes!
"Ah!!!" Qiao Yuan screamed in agony. Caught off guard, she was pierced through the body by a sharp spike. This was a humiliating disgrace!
The dodder vines covered Qiao Yuan's entire body almost instantly, and as soon as the ice spikes tried to attack her, the dodder vines could quickly interrupt them.
The wound was still bleeding, but with the dodder seed covering the wound surface to forcibly stop the bleeding, Qiao Yuan was much better than before, at least she was not so passive.
She can't get out of the ice now, and there are sharp spikes waiting for her in the dark. She's feeling incredibly frustrated.
Just then, Qiao Yuan suddenly heard Qiao Yimu's voice.
"Yuanyuan! Yuanyuan?! How are you? Where are you? Can you hear me? Yuanyuan!" Qiao Yimu's voice was very abrupt in the darkness, as if it had suddenly appeared here.
Qiao Yuan's eyes turned cold in an instant, and she said in a chilling voice, "You're not Qiao Yimu! What are you?! Why are you here?!"
Qiao Yimu said nervously and fearfully, "I, I don't know either... I was originally at the base, but Qiao He and his group came over, and when I was surrounded by them, everything went black and I just passed out. When I opened my eyes again, I was in this strange place."
"Yuanyuan...where am I? It's so cold...I'm so cold...I'm going to die...I don't know where Qiao He and the others went. They probably just left me here to fend for myself."
"Yuanyuan, your brother might die here. How are you? Are you alright?"
Qiao Yimu spoke in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly, with a hint of involuntary shivering from the cold.
"You really are... my brother?" Qiao Yuan's pupils trembled slightly. She couldn't quite believe it, but Qiao Yimu's words made her have no choice but to believe it.
If it were Qiao He and his group who came, then it would make sense.
After all, there's her ability, the Bo Shiwu who's always with her, and her eight kittens!
Those are all people with superpowers!
They possess all sorts of bizarre and wonderful superpowers; how could Qiao Yimu possibly defeat them?
It seems that Qiao He brought Qiao Yimu here to set a trap or take him hostage.
Qiao Yuan took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Brother, don't be afraid. I know where this is. Don't be nervous. Describe your situation to me first, and I'll see if I can help you get out."
Qiao Yuan wouldn't easily get close to Qiao Yimu, after all, she didn't know what Qiao He's purpose was, and it would be the stupidest thing to do to expose herself!
Qiao Yimu said fearfully, "I... never mind, Yuanyuan... don't reveal your location. I'm relatively safe now, even though I'm buried in the ice. I'm fine, Yuanyuan, don't show yourself... they'll kill you."
After saying these words, Qiao Yimu fell silent.
Qiao Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "Brother?"
No one responded.
Qiao Yuan panicked: "Qiao Yimu! Say something! Say something!!"
Qiao Yimu remained unresponsive, as if he were dead.
It was completely quiet all around; there wasn't even a sound of breathing.
