Chapter 580: Chapter 415: The Strange Ice Door_2
On the other side, Tèlán bowed slightly and hurried off to fetch the map.
Afterwards, when Tèlán quickly returned, Leo Ray and his subordinates compared the detailed map of the Pine Sound Range, as mentioned earlier.
Just like Tèlán said, they ultimately confirmed the location depicted in the Map of Chaos as a valley next to the main peak of Pine Sound Range.
“Alright, now that we’ve confirmed our destination, let’s not delay and head out immediately.”
At this point, Leo Ray first put the Map of Chaos back into his Space Bracelet, then ordered the subordinates around him: “As for Lord Tran, you stay here. Especially, make sure to watch over the big red mass in the Firsdale Territory.”
“Yes, Lord! Please rest assured!”
Upon hearing this, Tèlán bowed with a fist and responded.
Thus, under Leo Ray’s command, except for Serena and Stella, who had not returned after delivering messages to the two independent knight squads.
A group of eight people wearing Invisibility Cloaks left Firsdale City.
They hurried straight to the destination marked on the Map of Chaos, located in the Pine Sound Range.
With their pursuit of speed and on-site exploration, when the two suns both set in the west.
In the reflection of the setting sun’s afterglow, a hidden cave on the hillside appeared before Leo Ray and the others.
This concealed cave was located on a small platform beneath a vertical cliff, surrounded by dense thorns and vines.
Even if one stood close, they would not notice it unless they looked carefully.
More crucially, the distance from the top of the cliff was several dozens of meters high.
So much so that even Leo Ray and the others first went around the valley below, then followed the steep winding road all the way up to the final destination, which was extremely dangerous.
At this moment, taking advantage of the last shaft of sunlight, Leo Ray noticed.
Two twisted skeletons lay amongst the dense thorns.
Upon closer inspection, based on the strange position and broken bone surfaces, it was evident that they accidentally fell from the cliff.
“It seems that not everyone can come across the adventures in the legends.”
Noticing this, Leo Ray pursed his lips and thought to himself: “Or perhaps, even if one in a million encounters it, they have already perished, just like these two unlucky fellows. Although I don’t want to admit it, this is the reality.”
Sighing, Leo Ray shifted his gaze away from the corpses and muttered to himself, “Speaking of which, since this place is marked on the Map of Chaos.”
“Then, according to that swordsman mercenary’s statement, there must be something incredible hidden inside. As for what it is, let’s wait and see. I hope I won’t be disappointed.”
With this thought, Leo Ray nodded slightly to Scarlett, who was eager to try.
The next second, accompanied by a surge of intense flames, the obstructing vines and thorns turned into a cloud of black dust, dissipating into the air.
“Alright, let’s move on.”
Patting Scarlett’s head with satisfaction, Leo Ray’s mind flickered, and a shiny Light Crystal Stone appeared in his palm.
Then, surrounded and protected by his subordinates, he took his first step.
As soon as they entered the entrance of the cave, a strong cold current rushed towards them, causing Leo Ray to involuntarily sniff.
Immediately after, Leo Ray’s heart moved slightly.
Two completely different energies rushed out simultaneously from the two connected energy vortexes in the abdomen, completely enveloping his body with a visible light purple energy.
Instantly, the icy cold brought by the cold current just now vanished in smoke.
Undoubtedly, this was naturally the energy shield that only Tier 3 and above powerhouses could condense.
Not only does it reduce self-inflicted damage to a certain extent, but it also keeps warmth, repels heat, and protects from water and slips.
Next, after everything returned to normal, Leo Ray, who was surrounded by his subordinates in the middle of the team, noticed.
The passage becomes wider from the outside to the inside, and in just two or three minutes, the tunnel initially only allowed two people to walk side by side but could now accommodate five or six people to pass through simultaneously.
With the illumination from the Light Crystal Stone, faint frost appeared on the cave walls on both sides.And as they advanced, the frost gradually became thicker and denser.
At the same time, although enveloped by his own energy shield, Leo Ray was not affected much.
However, he could still clearly perceive that the temperature inside the cave had obviously dropped below freezing point.
“Interesting, it’s scorching summer outside, but it’s an icy world in here?”
With a slight lift of his eyebrows, Leo Ray strode gracefully forward.
About five or six minutes later, a giant ice gate that blocked their path suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight.
Looking closely, this giant ice gate tightly sealed the cave ahead, and a dense cold air constantly exuded from it.
From its appearance alone, it was impossible to determine its exact thickness.
“This ice gate should be the entrance to where the treasure truly is, right?”
Seeing this, Scarlett next to him rolled up her sleeves and confidently said to Leo Ray: “Lord, allow me to evaporate this ice gate!”
“Go ahead.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, stepped back a few steps, and then responded.
“Yes, my Lord!”
As soon as she heard this, Scarlett’s Tier 5 Wand Element Dance emitted a burst of red light.
In an instant, a massive red magic array unfolded before her.
In a matter of moments, accompanied by a sharp rise in temperature.
A roar was heard, and a fire dragon with sharp teeth and claws leapt out of the massive red magic array and charged at the ice gate under Scarlett’s command, roaring loudly.
For a moment, the fiery dragon evaporated all the frost on the cave walls in its path, leaving not a drop of water, and its momentum was truly astonishing.
Next, as the fiery dragon collided with the giant ice gate with an overwhelming force.
A burst of thick steam, like a boiling pot, engulfed the entire cave in an instant.
After a while, when everything in front of everyone was clear again.
The fiery dragon had already disappeared without a trace, but the giant ice gate had been burned through about ten meters long.
However, when Leo Ray looked at the end with the night vision effect of the Star Pupil.
He found that there was still a thick layer of ice, apparently not fully penetrated.
Then, before anyone could react.
The unbelievably thick giant ice gate, incredibly, restored its original state as if nothing had happened at lightning speed.
“Well, what a creature, even a Tier 4 Grand Fire Mage wielding a Tier 5 wand can’t break through this ice gate? You have to know that Scarlett’s Fire Dragon Descent was a big hit during the battle in the Mystara City.”
Seeing this, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: “I must say, everything behind the ice gate has become even more interesting.”
Not far away, after a moment of stupefaction, Scarlett’s little face was full of resentment. After swallowing a chocolate cookie, she said to Leo Ray: “Lord, please let me try again!”
“Scarlett, don’t be impatient.”
On the other side, Joshua Bingaman thought for a moment and then said, “The fire element is intrinsically suppressed by the ice element, coupled with the unknown thickness of this giant ice gate.
Moreover, it has an extremely fast self-repair speed after being damaged, and it looks very strange. It seems to be a very special ice magic. I think there must be some secret to it.”
“Joshua, as an Ice Mage, you are the most familiar with ice magic, so you can take a look.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
Upon hearing the order, Joshua Bingaman approached the giant ice gate gracefully and quickly.
The next second, when her slender fingers had just touched the surface of the giant ice gate.
Something completely unexpected to everyone suddenly happened.
