Chapter 356: Chapter 355 Underground Cave Chapter 356: Chapter 355 Underground Cave Boom!
The transport sledge slamd heavily against the ice cliff.
On the snowmobile, Shao Zifeng and his companion, dazed, slumped into their seats.
Crack! Crack!
Radiating from the point of impact, fissures spread continuously across the ice cliff.
Cra-ack!
A small piece of ice chipped off onto Shao Zifeng’s body, as he lifted his head, his pupils instantly contracted to see a massive and sharp block of ice hurtling down on them like a canopy.
Shao Zifeng’s eyes flickered with the phantom of flas as his pupils swiftly contracted into thin lines.
“Roar!”
Just as the ice was about to engulf them, the space in front of them twisted, and a pair of fiery claws tore through a Space Rift.
Boom!
Giant wings of fla unfurled, shielding the snowmobile above as the terrifying heat quickly lted the ice shards.
In the flas, the golden-red slit pupils shone, revealing glimpses of Scale Armor that glittered with a tallic sheen.
It was Qiuqiu’s defense.
Shao Zifeng’s tense emotions slowly relaxed, and he still felt a bit scared when he recalled the overwhelming ice that had just threatened them.
Indeed, Qiuqiu was reliable.
Bang! Bang!
The smaller ice chunks quickly evaporated under the high temperature, while the larger ones, not entirely lted, hit Qiuqiu with thudding sounds.
And further away, the ice chunks were covered again, with sharp giant ice bolts lodged into the ice surface, creating more fissures.
Fissures…
A bad premonition suddenly struck Shao Zifeng’s heart.
He cald down and indeed felt that the vehicle was slowly sinking; the sinking was very gradual.
Crack.
At that mont, the all-terrain snowmobile suddenly dropped, and Shao Zifeng quickly bowed his head.
He hadn’t realized when the ice under the vehicle had also beco crisscrossed with cracks, with one of the wheels even sinking below the ice layer.
Fuck.
The next mont, the cracked ice surface could no longer hold and collapsed instantly, revealing a pitch-black hole.
A clear sense of weightlessness washed over them as the snowmobile, with both passengers, disappeared into the hole.
Caught off guard while fending off the ice shards, Qiuqiu’s blazing eyes constricted, its body erupting in intense flas, dragon wings instantly folded, and it dived into the black Underground Cave.
Rumble rumble.
The falling giant ice closed in, perfectly sealing the entrance hole.
…
“Hiss~”
“Cough, cough, it stinks.”
In the darkness, Shao Zifeng moved his body, wincing in pain, which caused him to grimace and inhale sharply, but the ensuing musty stench nearly made Shao Zifeng roll his eyes back.
After lying on the damp ground for a while and recalling the incidents that had transpired, he gathered his thoughts.
The ground collapse, the crash, the avalanche, Ma Zhiliang…
Right, there was also Ma Zhiliang.
Shao Zifeng hastily got up from the ground.
“Qiuqiu, light a fire… never mind, with this stench, if there happens to be marsh gas, we’re done for.”
“Ying?”
Qiuqiu didn’t understand what “done for” ant, but it understood the concept of playing with a ball.
Does this an Zifeng wants to play with it?
The little creature happily crawled onto Shao Zifeng’s shoulder, rubbing his cheek with its rough Scale Armor.
“Stop it, that tickles.”
After restraining Qiuqiu’s sudden enthusiasm, Shao Zifeng carefully fumbled around in the dark.
First and foremost, they had to ascertain Ma Zhiliang’s safety.
It was now certain that this place was not an ice cave, for besides the hard rocks, there was a sense of stuffy heat in the surrounding environnt.
Unlike the blazing heat emanated by Qiuqiu, this stuffiness was that of a closed space with no air circulation.
Having stayed here for just a short while, Shao Zifeng had already started to sweat on his forehead.
He took a deep breath and unzipped his protective suit to let so air in.
This wouldn’t do, he had to find a way to light up the area.
Ever since his phone broke last ti, he now lacked even the tools for illumination, and he did not dare to let Qiuqiu start a fire in this unknown environnt.
“If only I had so kind of illumination ability.”
Shao Zifeng’s eyes lit up.
He rembered that after evolving, Xiao Lu’s third gift seed to co with a special effect that was of no egg use.
He had seen that effect before in the deep sea, and it was pretty bright in his mory.
With that thought, Shao Zifeng made a gesture through the air with his hand.
“Yo?”
Xiao Lu peeked out from the darkness, its creamy body emitting a faint luminescence.
Curling its little nose, Xiao Lu found the air here sowhat discomforting.
Jumping out of the Space Rift to Shao Zifeng’s side, the starlight effect that kept falling off its body whirled around and lit up the vicinity so more.
“Yo?”
Xiao Lu looked around curiously.
“I don’t even know where I am myself, Xiao Lu. Can you control those effects on your body to… you know, stop fluttering around like that.”
Shao Zifeng gestured with his hands as he explained to Xiao Lu, who looked at him as if he were a fool.
Suddenly, the continuous fall of starlight seed to co alive, as tiny particles of star-blue light spread out in all directions, floating in every corner of the cave like blue fireflies.
In no ti at all, the entire space twinkled with starlight, with the star-blue light particles shimring as if one was in the midst of a starry sky.
Qiuqiu perched on Shao Zifeng’s shoulder with widened eyes, staring at a small blue dot on its own nose with shining pupils, and couldn’t resist reaching out its little paw to grasp at it.
However, the luminous particles flew away like little insects.
Qiuqiu imdiately took an interest and leaped off Shao Zifeng’s shoulder, chasing after the small light points.
Thanks to Xiao Lu’s starlight effect, Shao Zifeng could finally see the environnt he was in.
As he had guessed before, this was indeed not an ice cave.
The entire space more closely resembled a listone cave, except that the rocks here were dark brown, and there were no stalactites or stone pillars.
Standing up against the damp rock wall, Shao Zifeng finally saw the all-terrain snow vehicle with the help of the faint light.
Perhaps due to the strong shock absorbers, the all-terrain snow vehicle was not significantly deford.
Shao Zifeng hurried over and looked inside the vehicle.
He saw Ma Zhiliang strapped in by the seat belt, slumping over in the driver’s seat.
His complexion was rosy, and from the rise and fall of his chest, he seed to be fine.
But Shao Zifeng was still sowhat worried. He looked at Xiao Lu, whose pupils glistened, and she nodded at him.
Having confird that Ma Zhiliang was rely unconscious, Shao Zifeng finally put his mind at ease.
Next, he prepared to properly explore the Underground Cave and see if there were any discoveries to be made.
“Qiuqiu, you play here for a while; Xiao Lu and I are going to look for sothing.”
Qiuqiu, who was chasing after the light points, stopped in its tracks, its gaze hesitantly moving between Shao Zifeng and the light points before deciding to obediently wait for them.
Having left Qiuqiu to keep watch, Shao Zifeng took Xiao Lu deeper into the cave to explore with his “little tool deer.”
After walking so distance, Shao Zifeng noticed that, unlike the rugged, uneven rock walls, the bottom of the cave was relatively flat.
So areas were even worn smooth, as if soone had been walking back and forth here for a long ti.
With this discovery, Shao Zifeng beca even more cautious.
“Yo~”
At that mont, Xiao Lu, who was following by Shao Zifeng’s side, suddenly tugged at his clothes.
“What is it, Xiao Lu?”
Shao Zifeng asked with curiosity, bending down.
Xiao Lu’s eyes were filled with swirling starlight as it quietly focused in one direction.
