"Okay, let's go!"
Unexpectedly, Ais gave Lingling a deep look. Even Yanlin looked at it with new respect.
"Pfft! Little Fatty, don't worry! I'll protect you!"
Flamescale said with some swagger, wanting to put its arm around Zero's shoulder, but it only realized that Zero was too high to reach it after it had already stretched out its fish paw.
So he awkwardly withdrew his hand, instead using his tail to curl around it, and followed Gu Xi and Ai Si into the cave.
A man and several fish walked toward the cave.
The messy, thick ice bars still blocked the entrance to the hole, but Gu Xi used object manipulation to move them away.
While moving the ice packs, she had a sudden inspiration and put them all into her backpack.
Gu Xi peered into the cave entrance, which was bottomless. However, nowadays, she no longer needed to descend into the cave in a freefall manner as before.
After a moment's thought, Gu Xi said to Ai Si:
"Ais, make three ice surfaces, just big enough for us to stand on."
Upon receiving the order, Ai Si quickly waved her hands, and the surrounding water vapor rapidly condensed, instantly creating three appropriately sized ice surfaces in front of everyone.
Gu Xi then used his object manipulation ability, and the three ice surfaces slowly rose from the ground and hovered steadily in the air.
She waved to everyone, "Come on, stand up."
After saying that, she changed her previous habit of stepping on the spikes and took the lead in standing on the ice.
Ais followed closely behind, while Yanlin stood on the last ice surface with Lingling.
"Set off!"
"Light the Flame Scale Fire."
Flames dotted the surface, and he raised his hand to envelop each ice surface in flames.
After everyone stood on the floating ice, Gu Xi concentrated on manipulating the ice to quickly enter the cave.
Despite the enhancement of the Flame Scales, the surrounding air grew increasingly cold.
Flamescale felt uncomfortable with the cooling air, so it added a ring of fire to the ice around itself and Gu Xi.
What was originally a faint light suddenly became clear, and some differences appeared on the cave walls.
"Wait, there seems to be something on the wall?"
As the ice continued to drop, Gu Xi noticed many strange symbols and patterns on the cave walls.
Gu Xi stopped the ice surface and let it move closer to the wall.
She recognized the patterns and symbols as those she had seen on some auction items before.
Gu Xi took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise, "These look like the writing and patterns of strange creatures on gold coins!"
Flamescale also noticed, and it cried out excitedly.
"Whoosh! I have one too! I see a gold coin monster! I knew coming here was the right decision! Looks like there's treasure here!"
"Flame Scale, be careful," Gu Xi solemnly warned.
After saying that, she continued to manipulate the ice surface to descend.
As they approached the ground, the ice surface slowly touched down. Gu Xi was the first to jump off the ice, followed closely by Ai Si, Yan Lin, and Ling Ling.
At this moment, Gu Xi realized that she and the fish were in an indoor space with no obvious exit.
Gu Xi cautiously surveyed her surroundings, sensing a mysterious force flowing through the space.
Gu Xi said to everyone, "There is strange energy flowing in the space. Be careful, try not to use your mental power for now, and look for an exit."
After saying that, she led Ais to start feeling around on the wall not far away.
Unable to contain its excitement, Flamescale's eyes lit up as it eagerly ran off in one direction.
"Flame Scale, be careful!"
Gu Xi hurriedly called out, but Yan Lin had already run far away.
Gu Xi sighed and shook his head, then led Ai Si and Ling Ling in pursuit of the direction Yan Lin had fled. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
