Compared to the smooth ice walls on both sides, it was less likely to climb out of there; furthermore it was more dangerous.
Ding Hao and Evil Moon felt a bit dumbfounded.
“ow. It’s bad. It’s too bad. This is a dead end... There’s no way to get out from here.” Evil Moon felt a bit depressed.
Ding Hao sighed, with a glimr of hope in his heart. Close to the ice wall in front of him, he wanted to find so other clues for going out from there.
“Clatter!”
Suddenly a faint sound of water spread to Ding Hao’s ears.
Ding Hao was dumbfounded.
The temperature was extrely low there. Even the bodies of the fallen demons and the superiors of the human tribe had been frozen. Even if there was water, it should have already been frozen into a solid state. How could there be water sounds?
‘Was it my own illusion?’
When he ca under the cliff at the end, the water sounds beca clearer.
“Clatter!”
That was the sound of water falling and stirring.
The sound was extrely weak, intermittent and faint, as if it were from another space and difficult to capture.
Ding Hao, with his palms gently rubbing the mysterious thousands-of-years ice surface, carefully scanned the ice wall inch by inch with his eyes, trying to find the water sound source.
“Look ...” Evil Moon suddenly found sothing, and he pointed at the ground with his claw.
Ding Hao looked down along Evil Moon’s claw. His eyes suddenly focused. He saw that at the place below the ice wall, about three inches high from the ice surface, two silver brilliances as thick as a finger, about one inch long, kept flowing. With a rough look, they seed to be two streams of water, gushing from the ice wall and kept flowing.
“This is...”
Ding Hao squatted down slowly and observed carefully.
“ow. Suddenly I feel that there is sothing that seems to be very familiar...” Evil Moon jumped from Ding Hao’s shoulder and constantly turned around the two water-like silver lights.
“Yes...” Ding Hao frowned and thought hard. He seed to have witnessed such a scene before him sowhere, but montarily, he could not tell.
“ow. There are three ice cones here!” Evil Moon stretched out his claws and fished in the two streams. He said with a surprise, “Wow, it’s so cold. ow. It’s not water... Are they snow granules? No? Why, is it white sand...?”
It could be seen that the silver lights glued to Evil Moon’s claws were falling down like liquid, but they were by no ans liquid; they were extrely fine white granules. Ding Hao and Evil Moon could not tell what they were. The granules were so cold that Evil Moon’s claws almost froze.
Suddenly Ding Hao fixed his eyes on sothing.
A lightning flashed in his mind and it solved his confusion.
“I know what it is...” Ding Hao jumped up.
His heart was violently beating because of his excitent. He couldn’t wait to take out a yellowish scroll from his storage ring, which was the so-called treasure map presented to him by Gao Lin, the elder of the Valley Village.
Ding Hao compared the pattern drawn on the scroll with the appearance of the ice wall less than half a ter before him.
“Exactly the sa!”
Ding Hao quickly reached a conclusion.
What was shown on the scroll were three towering peaks. Two wonderful silver waterfalls were hanging upside down; they flowed from the mountain streams and almost covered the masks of the three peaks. Ding Hao was behaving very strangely at the ti. And the sizes of the peaks and waterfalls seed to violate so of the laws of physics. But at the mont, he solved the mystery perfectly.
What the scroll showed were not three towering peaks but just three ice columns, which were just about one inch long. Actually, the so-called waterfalls were two silver lights before him, as thick as a finger.
The things in the scroll were too large so that viewers saw an illusion. They would think that those things were mountains and waterfalls, but in fact they were not.
It was about twenty centiters apart from the ice wall end. If it were magnified countless tis, the place before him was exactly the sa as what was shown in the scroll.
“I see... it wasn’t strange that I had not found out the place shown in the scroll, even if I had almost travelled seventy-two peaks all over the Snow Dragon Mountains. Actually, from the beginning, I had made a wrong judgent... Is this the legendary fated chance? If we had not fallen into the cracks in the ice faults by accident, we might have never found out the secret hidden in the scroll, in all our lives.”
“No wonder the Gao family have struggled in the Snow Dragon Mountains for hundreds of years, and they haven’t discovered the secret in the scroll. It’s harder than looking for a needle in a haystack if the Gao family wanted to find such a small place in the vast Snow Dragon Mountains!”
“The person who left this scroll was really smart. On the one hand, he did indicate the correct position. On the other hand, he misled the later generations by the scroll’s proportions. Only those who were extrely lucky could crack the true secret of the scroll and find this place by chance!”
“Martial arts really call for fate!”
Ding Hao thought about it like lightning in his mind and quickly figured out so key points.
“ow. ow. Hahaha. This place was unexpectedly discovered by us. Hey. Don’t be in such a daze. Co on. The treasures must be around. We will make a fortune when when find the treasures...” Evil Moon, the devil cat, ca to understand it thoroughly at that ti, so he rubbed his claws with excitent and almost drooled.
Ding Hao nodded.
All secrets should be in the red circle between the two waterfalls marked in the scroll.
If the scroll was scaled down, the position indicated by the red circle should be...
Ding Hao fixed his eyes on the middle of the two silver lights. After a mont of observation, for the sake of caution, he took out his rusted sword and slowly extended it to the fixed position. The sword tip passed through the silver light like the small waterfall...
“Ding!”
A series of subtle tal impacts ca.
Ding Hao and Evil Moon, the devil cat, showed happy expressions. It was true that there was a chanism there.
In the next mont, Ding Hao’s face changed. He only felt that a strong and unmatched suction force was spreading from his rusted sword, and his palm was firmly glued to the hilt. The sword had already begun to tremble violently before he responded. Ding Hao struggled, but he still could not get rid of it. He seed to be led by a mad horse, and crashed directly against the hard ice wall.
“ow?” Evil Moon widened his eyes.
With his own eyes, Ding Hao, like a virtual shadow, entered the hard ice wall with his rusted sword and disappeared without a trace.
“What happened? He just disappeared? Did the ice wall turn out to be fake and is just an illusion?” Evil Moon felt that everything that was happening was too strange. So he stretched out his claws and touched the ice wall; he had a feeling of hardness and a chill went deep into his bone marrow.
“Is the ice wall not fake?”
