Chapter 185: First Use of Formation

Chapter 185: First Use of Formation

Lin Ruohua suddenly let out a long roar that shook the whole area, and then his body turned into a flash of lightning and rushed straight to one of the cave entrances, disappearing into it in an instant, leaving behind a series of echoes.

Shangguan Jiannan took light steps and fixed his sharp eyes on a cave entrance not far away.

"That's it."

He muttered to himself, and before he finished his words, his whole body was enveloped by a layer of brilliant red light. Then his figure shot up like an arrow from a bow, and shot into the depths of the cave.

After passing through the gate, Shangguan Jiannan was greeted by a long and boundless corridor, the end of which seemed to be hidden in the fog and out of reach.

He immediately became extremely cautious and took every step carefully.

He thought to himself, "My power comes from fire, but this is the territory of ice. For me, it is undoubtedly a natural suppression."

The flames on the Sky-Slaying Sword in his hand, which had been leaping endlessly, now seemed dim, with only a few faint sparks flickering on the sword, as if expressing helplessness.

Fire and water cannot coexist, this is the iron law of nature. Even the magic weapon in his hand would be affected in this extremely cold place, and its light would no longer be dazzling.

In the corridor, Shangguan Jiannan's footsteps sounded "thumping", crisp and long, echoing in this silent space, adding a bit of loneliness and tension.

The coldness around him almost penetrated his bones, causing him to shiver. His face turned gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

He took a deep breath, and the warm breath he exhaled instantly condensed into white mist in the extremely cold air and slowly dissipated.

This is a world ruled by ice and snow, and the air is filled with an indescribable weirdness and terror.

As they went deeper into the corridor, several stronger cold currents rushed towards them. Shangguan Jiannan quickly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body to form a barrier, barely resisting the biting cold.

He knew very well that in this icy area, he had to be extremely cautious with every step, as any mistake could lead to him falling into an irretrievable situation.

Shangguan Jiannan managed to resist the biting cold all around him. As he was walking, his eyes suddenly lit up, his vision trembled violently, and he stopped involuntarily.

Not far away, in front of a crystal clear ice wall, a huge layer of ice suddenly appeared. When you look closer, you can see that there is a big door hidden next to the ice layer.

He approached slowly, and a soft white light was faintly visible from the door, making the entire space look mysterious and cold, and the light seemed to be spreading outwards.

When we arrived at the door, the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees, and the cold wind blew like a knife.

Shangguan Jiannan rubbed his face, which was slightly stiff due to the cold, took a deep breath, and resolutely stepped into the unknown space.

Inside is a world covered in silver, and all you can see is vast white.

However, at the deepest part, several misty green lights are flickering, which is very inspiring.

"Is that... the Xuanming Ice Crystal?" Shangguan Jiannan's heart was shocked, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He quickened his pace and quickly approached the source of the light. When he reached the depths of the room, he was completely stunned.

Xuanming ice crystals are mild in nature and have a neutralizing force. They can only be formed under the nourishment of the mysterious ice essence in extremely cold places.

If Shangguan Jiannan had not read the "Array Chapter", he might not have been able to recognize the value of this treasure.

The book's descriptions of rare treasures and rare materials gave him a new understanding of the world.

Xuanming Ice Crystal is the perfect material for setting up formations, casting spells, and stabilizing seals. It can harmonize various elements and ensure that the formation reaches the most perfect state of balance.

Such a rare item is simply impossible to find on the market. Even Shangguan Jiannan only took a quick glance at it when he first heard the name and did not investigate it in depth.

But at this moment, he saw it with his own eyes and even touched it.

In the corners of the walls, there are piles of Xuanming ice crystals, which complement each other and emit a faint green glow, dazzling.

Shangguan Jiannan's breathing became rapid, and there was an unconcealable fanaticism in his eyes.

Compared with the Soul Gathering Pill, the Xuanming Ice Crystal is even more precious.

The densely packed Xuanming ice crystals in front of him, there are at least hundreds of them, it is simply a windfall.

Faced with this sudden treasure, Shangguan Jiannan did not hesitate at all.

He quickly flipped his palm, and a golden ring appeared out of thin air, obviously preparing for the next collection work.

In this icy land, he is about to embark on an unusual treasure hunt.

Afterwards, Shangguan Jiannan swept the wall lightly, and the mountain of Xuanming ice crystals that had originally piled up in the corner of the wall disappeared without a trace.

He quickly hid the ring shining with golden light back into the black iron ring, then he let out a long breath, with an excitement that was difficult to conceal unconsciously emerging on his face.

The harvest from this expedition was beyond imagination and full of surprises! Looking around, there was nothing else to attract attention except a few simple pieces of furniture.

Shangguan Jiannan did not linger any longer, and left the room quickly.

As he stepped into the corridor, the excitement on his face was still hard to calm down, his hands were slightly red with excitement, and even trembling slightly.

Although the steps seemed heavy, as time went by, the excitement gradually settled down, and was replaced by a more determined desire to explore.

Every time he passed an ice house, Shangguan Jiannan's heart would beat faster involuntarily as he looked forward to new discoveries.

However, fate did not seem to continue to favor him. Apart from the initial batch of abundant Xuanming ice crystals, he never encountered any treasures that would catch his eye.

Half an hour later, his face was filled with fatigue and loss. The few Spirit Gathering Pills in his hand became his only comfort in this expedition, which made him feel a little annoyed.

The corridor was winding and Shangguan Jiannan walked forward cautiously while searching carefully for possible clues.

Walking out of the empty room again, he shook his head helplessly, his face full of disappointment.

At this moment, a chilling voice suddenly echoed in the corridor, like ice piercing his bones, causing Shangguan Jiannan's heart to tighten suddenly, and the air around him seemed to solidify a little.

"Boy, don't even think about escaping this time."

The voice was deep and eerie, foreshadowing the coming of new challenges.

A low and cold voice echoed in the empty area for a long time, like a cold wind piercing through the bones, making people feel tight in their hearts.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jiannan paused abruptly and his face instantly became gloomy, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Guo Polu!" Just by the familiar voice, he immediately recognized the person.

The air around seemed to freeze, a biting chill spread, and the space became dead silent.

Shangguan Jiannan tightly grasped the Slaying Heaven Sword, a faint glow emanating from the sword body, accompanied by bursts of subtle but sharp sword sounds.

His gaze penetrated to the end of the corridor, and he saw a figure in a moon-white silk gown slowly coming into his sight, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, like an immortal descending to earth. It was Guo Polu.
