Although the ice spikes were fierce, their intensity was not high, and they could be easily blocked by Mo Yan's vines.
However, the ice spikes kept coming from all directions, and these spirit arrays directly drew upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If this continued, they would eventually be exhausted...
We need to find a way to break through this formation!
Thinking of this, Shen Yunhao activated his true vision again and observed for a long time before finally finding a clue.
"This is actually a formation within a formation!"
There is a smaller spirit array within a larger one.
The array patterns of the small spirit array were integrated with the large spirit array. They had only been focused on avoiding the traps of the large array, but accidentally triggered the small array, which caused the large array to be activated as well, trapping the two of them here.
"Can it hold out for twenty minutes?"
Mo Yan was taken aback by his words, "What are you going to do?"
"Find the core of the formation and break it..."
The girl looked at him with disbelief, "With your level of cultivation, can you really do it?"
You should know best whether it's feasible or not!
"???"
Before Mo Yan could answer, Shen Yunhao had already sat cross-legged and begun to analyze and deduce the array patterns of the small formation.
Although he lacked the ability to break the formation, he had studied under Master Lingyue for so long that he must have learned something.
He had deciphered the array patterns on paper many times before, but this was the first time he had tried to decipher a real spirit array.
This was also thanks to the true vision provided by the fox's tail; otherwise, he wouldn't have even had a chance to break the formation.
With a wave of her arms, Mo Yan sent countless purple vines up from the ground, surrounding the two of them. From then on, she stopped attacking the ice spikes and simply defended herself to conserve her spiritual energy.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shen Yunhao suddenly opened his eyes.
"Attack these five points simultaneously: 20 meters at 3 o'clock, 25 meters at 5 o'clock, 15 meters at 7 o'clock, 20 meters at 9 o'clock, and 50 meters at 12 o'clock!"
Fortunately, it was Mo Yan who was with him; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to understand what Shen Yunhao was saying!
Without any hesitation, Mo Yan shot out five vines in five directions, easily passing through the range of the ice spikes and landing on the five upright ice pillars almost simultaneously.
"boom!"
The icicles exploded with a bang, and the sky full of ice spikes seemed to suddenly get stuck, freezing in place and trembling continuously!
"Hurry up! We can only stop for a short while!"
While shouting, Shen Yunhao grabbed Mo Yan's hand and rushed forward!
Sure enough, in just five seconds, the shattered ice pillars regenerated, and the ice spikes found their target and flew towards the two fleeing individuals.
Just as they were about to be surrounded by ice spikes, the two left the formation, and the ice spikes froze once again before slowly dissipating.
"Phew! Haha..."
Shen Yunhao let out a long breath and chuckled sheepishly.
"Heh? You mean breaking the formation? That's it?"
Mo Yan crossed her arms and gave a faint sarcastic remark.
"I don't have that ability. It's already quite an achievement to be able to stop the formation from working..."
"Tch! This won't do either... Hey! Hey! What are you trying to do?"
During the rest of the journey, the two were very careful. Whenever they saw a formation, Shen Yunhao would stop to observe it before attempting to break through it. For some formations that were too powerful, they would find a way to detour. It took them a total of three days to finally see the end of the Ice Abyss Corridor in the distance!
"We're about to reach the second level of the Frost Marrow Secret Realm, the Frost Marrow Nest! It's time for us to face those crystal beasts again!"
Shen Yunhao let out a heavy sigh.
According to Han Xiaozi, the most dangerous place in the entire Cold Marrow Secret Realm is this second level, which is inhabited by countless crystal beasts, some of which have cultivation levels as high as the Spirit Void Realm and are known as the Ice Crystal King Beast.
Given their current strength, if they were to alert a king-level beast in the Spirit Void Realm, even escaping would be extremely difficult.
"What do we do now? Should we follow the route that old man gave us?"
Before entering the Cold Marrow Secret Realm, Han Xiaozi provided a relatively "safe" path.
As long as they avoid the Spirit Void Realm Ice Crystal King Beasts, the two of them still have a fighting chance against the Void Soul Realm Crystal Beasts.
In addition, the runes on Shen Yunhao's palm are very effective when dealing with crystal beasts. They can not only achieve a holographic concealment effect so that the crystal beasts cannot sense their presence, but also have a ridiculously powerful "immobilization technique".
After that period of practice, Shen Yunhao was able to imprison crystal beasts with the strength of the Soul Control Realm for a full second, rendering them unable to move. As for those crystal beasts with the Void Soul Realm, although Shen Yunhao had not tried it, he heard from Han Xiaozi that it would also have an effect, but it would be much less effective.
Shen Yunhao pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "No matter what, that person's goal is the remains. There's no point in luring us in here and then letting us die here..."
"But have you considered that achieving the condition of 360 blue crystals isn't actually that difficult? Theoretically speaking, we shouldn't be the first people to come here..."
Mo Yan gave a cold laugh, "Then... what about those people before? Did they successfully retrieve the bodies, or rather... did they obtain the Void Illusion after retrieving the bodies..."
Shen Yunhao had certainly thought about this question.
However, it is undeniable that the Frost Silence Spirit Possession is real, and that old man who called himself Hanxiaozi definitely has a close connection with Konghuan!
Shen Yunhao was always incredibly interested in the lists set up by Tianbao Pavilion, so how could he not know the uses of the items on the Nine Provinces Divine Artifacts List...?
My previous behavior was nothing but an act, a deliberate attempt to make the other party look down on me.
It was precisely because he saw the effects of Frost Silence's Spirit Infusion that Shen Yunhao resolutely decided to come in and explore.
For no other reason than to become stronger!
People only learn to cherish things after they lose them. This time, the helplessness of watching Mo Yan's life force constantly disappear while he was powerless to do anything about it undoubtedly gave Shen Yunhao a great shock.
In other words, if it were the old Shen Yunhao, he probably wouldn't have recklessly come here to take the risk without knowing anything about this place.
"Let's go... As long as Kong Huan is still here, this risk is worth taking!"
Mo Yan watched from behind for a long time before finally shaking her head and sighing.
This was the first time she had ever seen Shen Yunhao take such a risk for something so "external," and it was obvious who he was doing it for...
"Fine, fine, what can I do? You're the stinky older brother..."
After saying that, he still lifted his foot and followed.
This is a huge crystallized cave, where countless ice crystals stand like towering trees. The sun is not visible, but it reflects a mesmerizing blue light.
The moment they entered the Nest of Frost Marrow, Shen Yunhao used the ice talisman in his palm to envelop the two of them.
With the ice rune present, at least the lower-level crystal beasts cannot detect them.
"If Han Xiaozi is right, there are two Spirit Void Realm Crystal King Beasts in the entire Crystal Forest, located in the northwest and southeast corners of the forest respectively. The safest way is to cross through the center and walk along the boundary between the two Crystal King Beasts' territories."
