Chapter 598 Carving Out a Path

Although Wen Chi was not optimistic about Qin Shu and was very confused about her carrying the "Encyclopedia of Formations" with her, he thought there was nothing to do if she was trapped here anyway, so he let her go.

However, among the three of them, Qin Shu was reading, Cheng Yan was running, and Chi Yu was practicing swordplay. He seemed a little too idle by himself.

Wen Chi couldn't sit still, "We're all trapped, why don't you take a break?"

Cheng Yan and Chi Yu ignored him, only Qin Shu slowly raised her head and looked at him.

"Senior brother, don't talk if you have nothing to do. Your train of thought has been interrupted."

Wen Chi: "..."

When Qin Shu said this, he leaned over again, "Can you really understand?"

Qin Shu nodded briefly and said, "That's natural. At least I'm admitted."

Wen Chi: "?"

When did this girl get started with formations? Why have I never heard her talk about it?

But seeing Qin Shu taking out a pen and paper to write and draw seriously, he couldn't help but disturb her.

Qin Shu was studying the formations carefully. There were quite a few extreme cold formations in the "Encyclopedia of Formations", but it was still a bit troublesome to find which one they were trapped in now.

She was just checking and eliminating them one by one, when suddenly a fragrance came from the tip of her nose, which was especially rare in this extremely cold world.

Qin Shu raised her head and looked in the direction of the scent.

When she saw it, she was stunned.

She saw her second senior brother taking out a small stove and making tea on it.

Even though she didn't recognize the tea he was making, she knew it was good just by the taste.

Qin Shu came over holding her book. When Wen Chi saw this, he asked, "Want a drink?"

Qin Shu nodded honestly, and the sound of water rang in her ears. The next moment, a cup of hot tea was handed to her.

Qin Shu looked at the water vapor hanging over the tea and suddenly looked thoughtful.

Her gaze slowly downwards, landing on the bottom of the water stove.

When Wen Chi saw that she wanted to drink tea but didn't reach out to take it, he asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shu frowned slightly, "Senior brother, your fire can't melt the ice?"

The melting point of ice is zero, as everyone knows.

The fire in this furnace was also made with the spiritual energy of Wen Chi. How could it not even show any signs of melting?

Wen Chi had not noticed this before, but now that Qin Shu mentioned it, he lowered his head to check.

"The temperature here is too low, maybe it has some influence?" Wen Chi guessed.

Qin Shu shook her head and said confidently: "Even if the low temperature has an impact, there will definitely be signs of melting on the contact surface."

Wen Chi thought for a moment and called out to Akabane who was concentrating on sword practice, "Junior Sister Akabane!"

Akabane frowned and turned around, then heard Wen Chi say: "Try roasting these ices with your fire.

Akabane took back his sword and walked over.

Wen Chi repeated it again, "My fire can't melt the ice. Your fire has a high temperature. Try it."

Akabane raised his hand to seal the secret, then struck out with his palm, and a ball of flame hit the ice.

With the continuous input of spiritual energy, the flames continued for almost a quarter of an hour.

However, as the flames dissipated, the ice surface was still very smooth, with no water stains at all.

The three of them looked at each other, and an idea suddenly popped up in Qin Shu's mind.

Are they really on the ice now?

As soon as this idea came up, it gradually became ingrained in her mind.

In order to verify her conjecture, she flipped her wrist, took out a sword, and plunged it into the iceberg with all her strength.

With the addition of the sword and her strength, a piece of it was actually poked off by her.

She placed the piece of debris in her palm, and a burst of flame came out.

Not only did it not melt, the cold feeling gradually dissipated.

Qin Shu placed the translucent debris in front of her eyes and looked at Senior Brother Wen Chi's enlarged handsome face through the debris.

She suddenly chuckled. Wen Chi didn't know why, so he heard Qin Shu spit out two words: "Crystal."

Wen Chi was stunned, and Akabane on the side also frowned slightly, "You mean, these are not ice, but crystals?"

Qin Shu nodded, "There is nothing wrong. You will know after you see it for yourself."

She handed over the crumbs in her hand, and Akabane understood the moment he took it, "It is indeed crystal."

But then she became even more confused. Could there be a trick here? Can it be hidden from her true eyes?

"But, since it's not ice, how is the extremely cold formation generated?" Cheng Yan came over and asked.

The four people looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes.

"Extremely cold ice soul." Four people blurted out at the same time.

It seems that the extreme cold ice soul is indeed here, but how on earth are they going to find it?

Being trapped in a crystal formation is not a good thing. After all, ice is still afraid of fire. What is the crystal afraid of?

Qin Shu touched her chin and fell into deep thought.

It was like watching a movie in her mind, and all the formation formulas she had just seen appeared in her mind.

Crystal and ice are also translucent. They can use the light-transmitting property to use the overlap of light and shadow to create a three-dimensional formation. If they cannot find the angle at which the light and shadow overlap, they will not even be able to break the formation. They will not even be able to hide the formation anywhere. Know.

Ice can provide coldness from all directions, but crystal is different. It relies on the extremely cold ice soul to provide energy.

In other words, in addition to this overlapping light and shadow, there must be a point used to store the extremely cold ice soul, which is equivalent to the battery function of later generations.

But logically speaking, the crystal is so transparent that even a mosquito can't escape their eyes, let alone an extremely cold ice soul.

Or did they use light and shadow to hide the whereabouts of the extremely cold ice soul?

Or...

Qin Shu's sight slowly passed over the ice, or...hidden in these white shadows?

This is very likely. Qin Shu used the ten thousand year ice marrow for the white shadows' eyes before, why can't she use the extremely cold ice soul this time?

Qin Shu was silent, and no one else disturbed her.

Seeing that she finally opened her eyes, Wen Chi asked, "What did you think of?"

Qin Shu nodded, stood up, raised her hands and touched the crystal walls around her to feel it.

Logically speaking, the closer to the extremely cold ice soul, the lowest temperature should be, and the test at this time is the perception.

She sensed the approximate area she calculated for a long time, and finally pointed in the direction of one of the white shadows and said, "Dig there!"

The three of them looked at her, "Are you sure?"

Qin Shu nodded, "Since we can't get out anyway, we might as well dig a way out by ourselves."

Her strange argument actually magically convinced Wen Chi, and he took out a spiritual pickaxe for digging herbs and said, "I'll go first!"

This crystal wall is very hard, but it is not completely impossible to dig. Once the spiritual pickaxe hit it, beautiful crystal fragments flew everywhere.
