Shen Yuanhao's spirit stones, as well as the magical treasures and artifacts he didn't usually use, were all stored in the Heavenly Treasure Pouch.
The White Dragon Lantern and the Illusionary Shuttle, among other things, were kept close to his body.
The white dragon lantern was made so that it would be convenient to receive phone calls from Zhuli.
As for life-saving artifacts like the Phantom Shuttle and the Netherworld Shield, they must naturally be kept in a state of constant readiness.
As for the others, only the Guixue Sword is still carried on his back, used for show, and rarely used in actual combat.
That's why, after the treasure pouch was lost that day, most of his wealth vanished... and he became penniless in the blink of an eye.
That was all fine, but what saddened him the most was that the White Dragon Lantern was lost, and he could no longer contact Zhuli to ask for help.
In such a desperate situation, it is undoubtedly adding insult to injury!
Of the remaining two magical artifacts, the Illusionary Shuttle can be used, but no one knows where it will teleport to.
As for the Netherworld Shield, without the support of the spirit stones in the Heavenly Treasure Pouch, it is basically useless.
He touched his arms, but even the little fox was nowhere to be found.
However, Shen Yunhao was not too worried about Bai Xiaoruo.
The thing that came with him was just a fox tail; even if something happened to it, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the main body.
To his surprise, although he had lost his fox tail, the black demon emperor's feather was still quietly kept in his arms, emitting a faint light.
Seeing this, Shen Yunhao roughly understood what was happening, cut his finger, and flicked out a bead of blood.
The snowflake instantly froze into a small ice ball in mid-air and fell to the ground.
"It seems this place is extremely cold... If it weren't for the protection of this Demon Emperor's Feather, I'd probably be dead already!"
Thinking of this, Shen Yunhao took a deep breath. This was the first time he had ever felt that death was hanging over his head.
Because the Demon Emperor's Feather has a time limit. Once the spiritual energy on it is exhausted, it will become just an ordinary ice sculpture deep underground!
"I wonder how my little sister is doing..."
When he fell into the abyss, he vaguely saw a giant wisteria vine trying to save him, but soon he lost consciousness and didn't know if the wisteria vine had escaped.
After thinking wildly for a long time, Shen Yunhao finally began to consider a plan to escape.
The spiritual energy in this place is very abundant, and his spiritual energy has not been depleted. After recovering from his injuries, his current state is no different from usual, which gives him the ability to escape, which is one of the few pieces of good news.
Only then did he begin to carefully examine his surroundings.
After looking around, I realized that this was a closed space, surrounded by rocks encased in ice crystals.
"So how did I end up here?"
Shen Yunhao looked up at the sky. Above the inverted ice crystals, there was only darkness, and he couldn't see clearly.
"It seems... the only way out is from above!"
He has no ability to fly, nor can he cast spells; he can only try to climb rocks.
Fortunately, there are ice crystals everywhere, so it doesn't seem that difficult to climb.
However, reality dealt Shen Yunhao a heavy blow.
When he touched the ice crystals, a chilling cold arose from the depths of his heart, making him tremble all over and immediately let go as if he had been electrocuted.
"Such a powerful chill! Could it be that the chill within this abyss is emanating from these ice crystals?"
This chill emanates from within, and even the Demon Emperor's Rain cannot withstand it. If one were to touch it for an extended period, one would surely be frozen solid.
However, looking at the crisscrossing ice crystals on the cave wall, an idea slowly emerged in Shen Yunhao's mind... He tried it a few more times and finally came to a conclusion.
You will only be frozen if you touch these ice crystals, but you will not be frozen if you touch the rocks.
Moreover, these ice crystals won't freeze him immediately; as long as the contact time is short enough, the damage will be minimal.
"That means... as long as I'm fast enough, I can climb up!"
The dark part of the cave ceiling is about thirty or forty meters above us. With Chen Yunhao's cultivation at the Profound Soul Realm, it wouldn't be difficult for him to jump up using these ice crystals as temporary support.
"But... the cave ceiling is too dark, I don't know what it's like up there, whether there are any rocks to step on. If there aren't, I'll still die if I land on the ice crystals."
"And we also have to avoid those protruding ice blades overhead to avoid being skewered like a string of candied hawthorns..."
After hesitating for a while, Shen Yunhao's lips twitched.
"Why do I feel like I'm playing Fire and Water? And I only have one life..."
After a few minutes of internal struggle, Shen Yunhao made a decision.
It wasn't really a decision; staying here would only mean waiting to die, he had no choice at all!
The first two attempts failed.
The first time, I couldn't stand the ice crystals because they were too cold on my feet.
The second time, I almost crashed into those protruding ice blades and got my head smashed open.
Having learned from experience the third time, he finally managed to skillfully avoid the ice blades and disappear into the darkness behind them.
This is a circular passage with a diameter of only one to two meters, and it goes vertically upwards.
Shen Yunhao could only jump upwards by stepping on the ice crystals on both sides. He had already risen several hundred meters by jumping like this.
By this time, Shen Yunhao could no longer turn back.
If he falls from that height, he will be seriously injured again and it will take him a long time to recover.
He only has one Feather of the Demon Emperor, and he doesn't have that much time.
Fortunately, he was certain that the road was passable and not a dead end.
If it's a completely enclosed space, then where did he fall from?
Shen Yunhao's guess was correct. Enduring the cold, he jumped upwards for nearly two minutes before finally emerging from the ice crystal passage.
The outside space was no longer a despairing scene made entirely of ice crystals; the main part was still pitch-black rock.
After jumping out of the cave, Shen Yunhao rolled over and landed on the ground beside him, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Only then did he realize that his feet were almost completely numb from the cold.
Even if it was brief, it was still real contact, and a lot of cold air would still seep into his feet.
He could only sit cross-legged and use the Vast Ocean Star to heal his frozen feet.
At the same time, he began to look around.
Because the area is covered by ice crystals and there are no glowing stones, it is much darker here than inside the cave.
Even with this faint light, Shen Yunhao could still see that, apart from the cave he had jumped out of, the surrounding ground was filled with caves of all sizes, densely packed together.
It's like a series of traps, waiting for prey to fall into them.
"From this perspective, finding the White Dragon Lantern and the Heavenly Treasure Pouch is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Who knows which cave they might have fallen into?"
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
Before he could think any further, a chilling scraping sound came from behind him.
