When Wenzel found Moqin, the little girl was sitting on a stone pier. When she saw him, her eyes lit up.
"Wenzel!"
Mo Qin ran towards him, "You're so slow."
He was able to accurately track her whereabouts before, so he must have done something to her. I thought he would find her soon, but I didn't expect her to wait until she was almost asleep before she came.
"Something delayed me."
Wenzel used a spell to clean himself up as soon as he left the battlefield. Now he only had a hint of coldness on his body, without any smell of blood.
He looked up and touched the girl's hair, a smile on his face.
Then he reached out and hugged the girl into his arms, her warmth filling his chest. He explained in a low voice:
"I'm a little cold."
Mo Qin: “?”
If you're cold, can't you use magic to keep warm? If you want to hug me, just hug me. Why are you looking for an excuse?
But she was too lazy to move now, so she just stayed in his arms obediently.
You know what, it’s really warm.
Where she couldn't see, Wenzel's dark eyes were deep.
Are you really satisfied with just this?
She will leave here one day...
If you get nothing, maybe it’s not a lie?
Mo Qin leaned against him and wanted to sleep again. "They have all returned to the ice field. Let's go and meet up with them."
Wenzel responded quickly, "Yeah, okay."
-
Above the ice field, the sky gradually darkened, and everything was gray and white, making it impossible to distinguish the boundary between heaven and earth.
And behind a small iceberg, there is a group of people hiding.
"It's almost dark, why hasn't the Holy Son come out yet? Could he be trapped down there?"
Everyone fell into the ice cave suddenly, but it was not bottomless, so it was not difficult to get out.
The tunnels below were interconnected, making people want to explore. However, there were many magical beasts living there, and the environment was dangerous. If the ice collapsed, they would probably be buried there. Helplessly, they could only give up exploring and come up first.
"As long as you don't go too deep, you won't encounter any monsters. Even if you can't defeat them, you can always run away!"
Someone rolled his eyes and guessed:
"Do you think there's some treasure down there?"
Otherwise, why would Abner still stay inside and not come out? You should know that among their group, Abner is the strongest.
Since all of them have escaped, there is no reason why Abner cannot escape.
The only possibility is that he himself doesn't want to come out.
"Hey, what kind of treasures can there be in this barren land? Counting back hundreds of years, this is the territory of the Dark Temple! Even if there are any, they are not good things."
Everyone thought it made sense.
The speaker took a sip of the hot soup and felt warm.
"It's getting dark now. Even if the Holy Son comes out, we can't hurry on. We might as well just wait."
That being said, this damn place is so cold, who would want to stay here any longer?
Everyone was dissatisfied, but no one wanted to go down and look for someone.
It's so big down there, like a maze. Does anyone know where to find it?
At the edge of the crowd, Wenzel was holding the sleeping girl in his arms, his eyes blank, and it was unclear whether he was listening to them or not.
-
Unlike the peaceful days above, those who remain below are in dire straits.
Qili was able to use her fire elemental power at first, but she became less and less able to do so later on, like a fire without fuel, which would eventually go out.
"Gurgle..."
The giant beast in front of him almost merged with the ice. Its body was covered with a layer of sharp ice spikes, and the tips of the ice spikes were stained with fiery red blood.
The blurry ice surface could not reflect Qili's terrified face, but it could feel her fear.
Qili was now covered in bruises, and her originally gorgeous dress was now tattered. Blood flowed down her calves to the ground, and the warm blood mixed with ice water, forming a thin stream.
She stared at the giant beast in front of her, but used her peripheral vision to see if there was any other way out.
If she continues like this, she will die here.
She could have escaped early, but as soon as she saw the environment here, her mind became active.
This is most likely the place her father mentioned, where the heart of the Dark God is.
If she could get it in advance and then give it to Abner, Abner would definitely value her more and make her irreplaceable.
But she didn't expect that there were so many dangers here. There were hordes of giant beasts in the depths, and she couldn't resist them at all.
Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead. The giant beast in front of him lowered its body slightly and tilted its head forward slightly, as if preparing to attack again.
Snap——
The flame in Qili's hand suddenly went out.
It's over.
Just when she was feeling desperate, a person suddenly jumped out from the fork in the road behind her.
The light arrow shot into the giant beast's claws with a 'whoosh', causing it to miss its target. Qili was saved temporarily, but the giant beast was also enraged.
“Get out of the way!”
The man chanted a spell and rushed forward again, using his golden shield to block the beast's claws.
Qili quickly got up from the ground and retreated, thinking that the man could save her from danger, but she didn't expect that after just two moves, he was almost unable to withstand it.
While the beast was blocked, she turned around and ran without hesitation.
The sounds of fighting and screaming were left far behind her. She used all her strength and had only one thought in mind: run!
As long as she found Abner, she would be saved. Now she had no mind to think about anything else but to survive.
-
Abner was not having an easy time either. After passing through layer upon layer of obstacles, his white robe had been dyed red with blood.
He had several wounds on his body, but he couldn't care about anything else now.
Because he has found it.
On the half-human-high crystal platform, the only color under the pure ice.
He rushed forward at the fastest speed in his life, holding the heart of the Dark God firmly in his hands. Just as he was about to suck out the energy inside, a voice rang out:
"Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
Abner clutched the thing in his arms and looked around vigilantly.
"who?!"
Black Mist began to coax him again, "Do you want to gain power? Do you want to become the strongest person on this continent?"
Abner looked at the black mist drifting out of the 'heart'.
Black Mist said, "How about we make a deal? I can help you become the strongest person, as long as you..."
Abner ignored the advice:
"Why do I need your help? If I absorb your energy, I will naturally become stronger!"
He had already collected information and legends about this thing, so he naturally knew that it contained enormous energy.
He didn't give the black fog any chance to speak and started absorbing the energy inside.
Black Mist: “…”
After hundreds of years of not fooling people, has its working ability declined?
It closed its mouth as it watched Abner frantically absorb the impurities inside.
It's tired, whatever.
Abner felt something rushing into his body, accompanied by pain, which became more and more painful as he went on. It was like a blunt knife, cutting through your flesh and drilling into your bones.
