Unlike the rock walls outside.
When Sheng Ning, Fang Chong, and the other two entered the ice cave together, all they could see were... countless cocoons.
Some of the cocoons had already opened, and grayish moths poked their heads out. When they saw Sheng Ning and the other two, the moths rushed out of the cocoons in a hurry.
However, each cocoon was suspended in mid-air, with a layer of ice covering its front.
No matter how the moth struggled, trying to break through the ice to reach Sheng Ning and the other two, it was all in vain.
The ice layer looked thin, so something must have tampered with it, which is why the moths couldn't fly out.
The three of them stood in front of the ice cave watching this scene. Lu Jingshen subconsciously stretched out his arm to shield his junior sister, "A-Ning, be careful."
Sheng Ning's gaze had long since shifted from the moth that kept flapping against the ice to the other cocoons.
There are too many.
This ice cave was very large; the chill they felt shortly after entering the rock cave came from here.
Sheng Ning didn't seem to care much about the cold here.
She cared about other things.
She pursed her red lips, suppressed the smile in her eyes, and spoke in a somewhat heavy tone, "Third Senior Brother, I want to go forward and take a look."
Lu Jingshen was also shocked by the scene before him and wanted to go forward to find out what was going on.
Hearing his junior sister's request, he stuffed the last remaining cold-resistant pill into her arms, saying, "Eat it if you get cold. Your senior brother will protect you right here."
Sheng Ning nodded, and carrying the bottle of pills, slowly walked to the cocoon closest to her.
Every cocoon here is white. When she brought the torch closer, she could see something wriggling inside the cocoon.
Seeing this, her gaze subconsciously shifted to the moth that had already hatched next to her.
Fang Chong's firelight fell on the moth, and only then did the three people inside the ice cave realize that the moth was crying.
It kept pounding on the ice, its gaze towards Fang Chong now filled with a pleading look.
It's not pleasant to be looked at like that.
It was as if the person asking him for help wasn't a moth, but a human being.
one person!
A wave of disbelief flashed through Fang Chong's mind. He swallowed hard, his face hardening as he looked at Moth. "You..."
"Nod if you can understand what we're saying."
Sheng Ning's clear and pleasant voice reached my ears.
Before Fang Chong could turn around to look at her, he saw the moth in front of him nodding vigorously.
This is not surprising, after all, Ulala, who brought them here before, could even speak human language.
Fang Chong was thinking about something else.
"Which sect do you belong to?"
This statement is like dropping a torpedo onto a calm lake; the moment the torpedo is detonated, splashes of water appear on the still surface.
Lu Jingshen finally realized something was wrong and came to Sheng Ning and the other person's side.
The three of them looked up at the moth hanging in mid-air, and then they heard him speak in a dry voice.
"Settle...the...heaven..."
A disciple of the Dingtian Sect?
Sheng Ning and Lu Jingshen turned to look at Fang Chong beside them at the same time.
Unlike the surprised expressions on the faces of his fellow disciples, Fang Chong's face was solemn.
No one would have imagined that such a secluded paradise in the Northern Secret Realm would attract so many people.
It turned out to be a place that could eat people out of the blue.
Fang Chong's throat bobbed. He took a step back, drew the long sword from his waist, and then turned to speak to Sheng Ning and the other man.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, please step aside a bit. I'm afraid you might get hurt."
After he finished speaking, Sheng Ning and the other person took two steps back to the side, and then they saw him raise the long sword in his hand.
After a flurry of swordplay, Fang Chong, having used all his spiritual power, frowned as he looked at the ice surface before him that he could not break no matter what.
The moths inside became very quiet.
Even after Fang Chong tried his best but couldn't break through the ice, it didn't blame him; it just gave him a smile.
Even though the smile was quite ferocious, it looked rather pitiful when paired with the tears on its face.
Sheng Ning took in this scene.
Holding the enhanced laser cannon, she stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, why don't you let me try it?"
She couldn't guarantee that the enhanced laser cannon wouldn't blow up the ice cave.
The thought of blowing this place up, alerting the surrounding demonic beasts and cultivators, and bringing about his own demise...
Sheng Ning couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose. "The power might be a bit too great. If it attracts demonic beasts, Fellow Daoist Fang, please don't be careless."
Fang Chong was pleasantly surprised that Sheng Ning was willing to help.
After all, it was Sheng Ning who found a way to get rid of those annoying butterflies right in front of the pile of rocks.
Now she has to take action for the Dingtian Sect disciple who suddenly turned into a moth.
Fang Chong clasped his hands together, bent his waist slightly, and gave her the deepest bow, saying, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, your kindness and virtue are beyond my ability to repay."
Sheng Ning never engages in those superficial things.
She waved her hand and said, "If you really want to thank me, remember to get some more roast goose for my master later."
"I heard there's a good roast goose shop at the foot of Dingtian Sect Mountain. I've been wanting to buy some for my master, but I've been too busy."
Since arriving in this world, Sheng Ning has been like a spinning top, constantly busy.
Feeling guilty towards her master who was far away on the mainland, she tightened her arms around the enhanced laser cannon. "I need to finish this quickly and go back. I miss the spirit fruit trees that Master and Fifth Senior Brother planted."
As Fang Chong took a step back, Sheng Ning placed the laser cannon on the ground.
The three people inside the ice cave watched as the laser cannon grew larger, and then Sheng Ning filled it with many high-grade spirit stones.
As the rumbling sound rang out, the three of them felt the ground shake beneath their feet.
Fortunately, the ice cave did not collapse.
The moths trapped in the ice did not escape.
Sheng Ning frowned as she examined a small hole that had been slightly pierced by the laser cannon.
She gestured for the moths inside to step back a few steps and hide in a safe place, then took out a relatively weak bomb from the armory.
She inserted the bomb into the small hole and detonated it herself.
When an explosion was heard, the ice layer that had trapped the moth finally cracked completely.
With a crash, the ice shattered all over the ground.
Seeing the moth land on the ground, Fang Chong hurriedly ran forward, "You just said you were a disciple of the Dingtian Sect?"
"What's your name? Why haven't I seen you at the Dingtian Sect?"
The moth had probably just crawled out of its cocoon; its body was still limp, and even its wings were not yet unfolded.
Upon hearing Fang Chong's words, the moth lying on the ground stared straight at him with her turbid eyes, "My name is Gu Wuzhuo."
When the name Gu Wuzhuo came out of the moth's mouth, Fang Chong's pupils visibly dilated.
The latter looked at the other person in disbelief, trying to grab their hands, but found himself unable to do so.
"Senior Brother Wuzhuo? Master said you came to the Northern Region for training, why... why...?"
