At this moment, Su Qiyuan looked at the stone, then quickly swept his gaze over the crowd and said calmly, "Everyone, get ready. We don't know what will happen next."
After saying that, he flashed and instantly pulled me tightly into his arms, protecting me with his strong arms.
At the same time, he slowly raised his other hand, and spiritual power gathered in his palm, shining with light and emitting a strong and heavy aura. Without hesitation, he pressed his palm heavily on the shiny stone.
In an instant, the entire cave seemed to tremble slightly.
Then, from a corner of the ground, a dull and slow sound came. It was the sound of the stone slab slowly moving away.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn over and they looked in that direction vigilantly.
At the moment the stone slab was completely moved away, a chill rushed in, piercing everyone's skin, causing them to shiver involuntarily.
After a moment, the stone slab finally stopped moving completely, accompanied by a dull and long echo.
Everyone's nerves were tense to the extreme. With a complex feeling of nervousness and strong curiosity, they began to move cautiously, their movements slow and cautious.
Gradually, we slowly gathered around and moved forward, each of us unconsciously showing a trace of hard-to-conceal vigilance and uneasiness on our faces.
As everyone approached, the scene under the stone slab gradually appeared before their eyes.
All I saw below was a ten-thousand-meter-deep abyss that looked like an endless void. The deep valley bottom seemed to be connected to another world, which was daunting.
In the abyss, there was a faint blue light. This light did not come from the sky, but was illuminated by the white ice.
Some of these ices hang upside down on the cliff like sharp swords, emitting a cold and strange light, making the abyss look dreamy, yet revealing a hint of chill and inexplicable danger.
I just took a look and felt my scalp tingling. A deep fear surged from the bottom of my heart. My body instinctively shrank back and my heart began to beat violently in my chest.
In less than a moment, the temperature in the already cold cave plummeted like a falling kite.
The breath exhaled by the crowd instantly turned into white mist, spreading before their eyes.
The cold was like a ferocious beast, ruthlessly devouring every inch of warmth in the cave.
Everyone had to mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies to form a thin spiritual shield around their bodies to resist the increasingly severe cold.
Just when everyone was struggling to resist the cold.
Senior Shangguan suddenly frowned, as if remembering something important, and slowly said, "I've heard Master mention before that there's a mysterious 10,000-meter-deep cold pond in our North Sea Holy Land. It's said to be so cold there that the surrounding rock walls are covered with thick layers of ice.
Even in the height of summer, being within a hundred feet of the cold pond would make one feel as if falling into an ice cellar.
The water in the pond is so deep that you can't see the bottom, and it emits a cold blue light all year round.
Moreover, there seems to be some kind of mysterious power hidden in the pool. The master once warned that if you encounter it, you must not approach it easily, otherwise your life will be in danger.
When everyone heard the shocking news, a look of panic instantly appeared on their faces.
At this tense moment, Su Qiyuan silently took out a thick cloak from his storage bag and gently put it on me.
At that moment, I was immersed in thinking about what Senior Shangguan said, when suddenly a warmth came over my body. This sudden warmth brought me back to my senses.
I looked at Su Qiyuan with a little gratitude, whispered "thank you", and then seemed to suddenly think of something key.
Turning his gaze to Senior Shangguan, he said, "Senior, you just said that we must not approach this cold pond easily."
But look at the footprints outside and the freshly fallen leaves, which indicate that someone must have been coming in and out of this place frequently.
After listening to my words, Senior Shangguan nodded slightly and responded, "Fairy Ling'er is absolutely right."
My master warned me not to get close to it, but in fact he had never actually set foot in this cold pond.
At this moment, the second brother, who had been silent the entire time, spoke with a determined look, "Everyone, I must enter this cold pond. I will never miss any clue that might lead to my parents' whereabouts."
This cold pond is frost-filled with dangers, so I dare not trouble you all to accompany me through this adventure."
After hearing what the second brother said, everyone said in unison, "Now that we've come here, we can't let you and your sister go alone."
You brothers and sisters don't need to be so polite with us. Everyone nodded to show their determination.
My second brother and I thanked everyone.
At this moment, Su Qiyuan glanced at everyone and said resolutely, "I'll go down and check the situation first. You guys wait upstairs."
After saying that, he pretended to jump. I was anxious and quickly reached out to grab Su Qiyuan, saying anxiously, "Take me down with you."
Su Qiyuan looked at me deeply, then nodded slightly, put his arms around me, held me firmly, and jumped into the cold pond.
When my second brother saw us jump down, he followed without hesitation.
Seeing this, everyone no longer hesitated and jumped directly into the cold pool.
The moment Su Qiyuan held me and I jumped down, my heart started beating fast.
The speed of falling was not that fast, but the deep fear was unavoidable, so she could only hold Su Qiyuan tightly.
The sound of wind whistling past my ears, I closed my eyes tightly and buried my head in Su Qiyuan's arms, my body trembling slightly with fear.
Su Qiyuan seemed to sense my fear. He tightened his arms around me and whispered in my ear, "Ling'er, don't be afraid."
At this moment, a strong suction force suddenly came from below, and our falling speed suddenly increased. My heart instantly rose to my throat again.
Su Qiyuan quickly adjusted his posture, trying to use his body to protect me from this sudden change.
The temperature around me was getting lower and lower, the chill penetrated into my bones, and I couldn't help shivering.
I don’t know how long it took, but the downward trend finally slowed down.
I opened my eyes slightly and saw layers of ice on the cliff. The ice cones were of different lengths, like upside-down sharp blades, shining mysteriously under the surrounding dim light.
At this moment, Su Qiyuan held me and landed steadily on the ground.
I patted his arm gently, motioning him to put me down.
After my feet touched the ground, I looked around the cave curiously. I was deeply attracted by the scenery in front of me, and instantly threw away my previous fear.
Not far away, there was a cold pond lying there quietly, and it was not frozen in this bitterly cold environment.
Wisps of wet icy mist curled up, as if covering the cold pond with a layer of gauze, making it look like a dream.
The water in the pond is a deep and charming blue, with occasional ripples, but it is impossible to see what is hidden at the bottom of the water.
I couldn't help but take a few steps forward to find out what was going on.
Su Qiyuan grabbed me, looked around vigilantly, and said softly, "This place may seem peaceful, but it may actually be dangerous. Don't be careless."
