Chapter 416 The Weird Ice Gate
Looking at the disorderly image that remained unchanged in the mirror, a trace of doubt appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
Lei Xiao's eyes moved and he looked at the new pattern on the parchment again.
Although this erected oval pattern is still outlined by black lines, whether it is the mirror frame depicted or the reflections embellished with slashes on the mirror, it is clearly shown that this is a mirror.
"What is certain is that the X-shaped folding line just now is the reminder of the "key" of this disordered picture. ”
"And, just like what Chaoyan said just now, the newly appeared mirror on the parchment should be the "key" to restore this disordered picture to normal. ”
Lei Xiao's eyes began to scan back and forth between the same parchment drawings in the mirror and outside the mirror.
"Now that the "key" to unlocking the magic puzzle has been found, why does this disordered picture not show its original appearance? ”
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with confusion on his face.
The fluffy ears on Bai Wei's head moved again, stretched out her slender fingers and said, "Lord, look!"
Looking in the direction of Bai Wei's finger, Lei Xiao noticed.
I saw a few new snowflake-like patterns slowly emerging around the mirror pattern just now.
What's amazing is that these looming snowflake patterns only exist on the parchment reflected in the coat mirror, which can be said to be quite magical.
"Mirror in the snow? Could it be that the real "key" is not an ordinary mirror, but a magic ice mirror? ”
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became enlightened.
"Lord, if it is a magic ice mirror, it is the ice mirror technique!"
Chaoyan swallowed the last bite of butter toast first, and then said: "Ice Mirror Technique is a reflection magic that can only be mastered by ice magicians of the third level or above!"
"What a coincidence, in this Dragon Sealing City, the most indispensable thing is ice magicians."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then called Tran and Xue Ya back through some words.
In a moment, the father and daughter, as well as Aling, who was a descendant of the Bingliu family, appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
Instructing the three of them to sit down, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately described the matter of the Discord Map to the three of them.
"I didn't expect there to be such a magical treasure map on this continent."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, the face of the middle-aged city lord Tran was full of surprise.
"Father, your injury has not healed yet. Leave the rest to me."
Xue Ya, who had an equally surprised look on her side, turned around and bowed to Lei Xiao when she said this, "Lord, my subordinates are about to start using the Ice Mirror Technique."
After finishing speaking, a small and colorful staff suddenly appeared in Xue Ya's delicate hand.
She took a deep breath, and the staff in her hand suddenly glowed brightly, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air.
The next second, a small light blue six-pointed star magic circle emerged out of thin air.
Along with Xue Ya's hard-to-speak but clear singing voice, the temperature in the room also began to drop rapidly.
Driven by Xue Ya, a large amount of rich cold air began to condense quickly next to the magic array.
Not long after, a giant oval-shaped ice mirror suspended in mid-air appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
The cold air rises around this ice mirror, and everything in front of it can be clearly reflected on the smooth and flat mirror.
"Good job, Shea."
Nodding to the respectful aristocratic woman in front of him, Lei Xiao waved his hand again, signaling Ye Cang to bring the picture of disorder closer to the ice mirror.
When Ye Cang held the parchment in his hand and approached the ice mirror, a slight wave of energy rippled out from the Map of Disorder again.
On the ice mirror, a picture of disorder that was completely different from before caught the eyes of everyone present.
This time, what appeared in front of everyone was a complete and detailed map!
Even the X-shaped mark in the center of the map has changed from a dotted line to a solid line, which looks extremely eye-catching.
At this point, after some small twists and turns, the true face of this disordered picture was completely revealed to everyone through the reflection of the ice mirror.
"Success!"
Looking at the mountains and forests that were finally connected on the yellowed parchment, Chaoyan and Bai Wei, two foodies and live treasures, couldn't help but cheered in unison.
Of course, the reason why these two people focused their attention entirely on the ice mirror was because the plates of desserts that Tran sent his servants to deliver had already been swept away, not even a single cookie crumb was left. remain.
Moreover, Lei Xiao was very convinced, especially Chaoyan, who obviously hid a lot of desserts and snacks in her storage ring.
"Lord, the location marked on the map seems to be not far from Fenglong City, on a guard peak next to the main peak of Songyin Mountain Range!"
After observing for a moment, Tran, the Lord of Fenglong City, his eyes lit up and blurted out.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then ordered: "Bring a nearby map, let's confirm the specific location."
"Yes! Lord! I happen to store a topographic map of the Songyin Mountains that was personally explored and modified by the previous head of the family!"
Tran touched his chest and bowed, then went to get the map in a hurry.
When Telan returned quickly, Lei Xiao and a group of subordinates made some comparisons on the detailed map of the Songyin Mountains.
It was finally confirmed that, just as Tran said just now, the location depicted in the Map of Disorder is exactly in the Wei Feng Valley next to the main peak of the Songyin Mountain Range.
"Okay, now that the destination is clear, let's set off without further ado."
Lei Xiao first put the Map of Disorder back into the space bracelet, and then ordered to the subordinates beside him: "As for the Lord of Tlan City, please continue to stay here, especially the big red guy in the Dragon Sealing Land. Be sure to keep an eye on it.”
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Tran stroked his chest, saluted, and bowed in response.
After that, under the command of Lei Xiao, in addition to the Nanxing Nanyue sisters who had not returned yet, they went to two independent knights' stations to deliver messages.
A group of eight people wearing invisibility cloaks left Sealing Dragon City and rushed straight towards the destination marked on the Map of Disorder in the Songyin Mountains.
Along with chasing wind and electricity and field exploration all the way, when the two suns, one big and one small, were setting in the west.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a hidden cave halfway up the mountain appeared in front of Lei Xiao and others.
This hidden cave is located on a small platform under a sharp cliff, with a large number of lush thorns and vines growing around it.
Even if you stand close, you can't find it at all if you don't look carefully.
More importantly, this place is hundreds of meters away from the cliff above, so even Lei Xiao and his party first detoured to the valley below, and then followed the winding and steep mountain road all the way. You finally reach it by going up, and the terrain is extremely steep.
With the last ray of the setting sun, Lei Xiao noticed.
Next to the dense thorns, two crooked skeletons were scattered.
Judging from the strange posture and broken bones, it was obviously caused by an accidental fall from the cliff.
"It seems that the legendary adventure is not something that everyone can encounter."
Looking at the two skeletons with empty eyes, Lei Xiao curled his lips and sighed secretly in his heart: "Even if we encounter one in a million, they will have already fallen into boxes, just like these two unlucky guys. , although I don’t want to admit it, this is the real reality.”
Moving his eyes away from the corpse, Lei Xiao's face could not help but reveal a hint of expectation.
"Speaking of which, since this is where the Discord Map was marked, according to what the swordsman mercenary said before, there must be something remarkable hidden in it."
"As for what the specific content will be, let me wait and see. I hope I won't be disappointed."
While looking forward to it, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality and nodded to Chao Yan who was already eager to try.
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Chao Yan, who had been prepared for a long time, waved the staff in his hand.
Along with a burst of blazing flames, the vines and thorns blocking the road turned into a burst of black dust and dissipated into the air.
"Okay, let's move on."
After touching Chaoyan's head with satisfaction, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a sparkling crystal stone appeared on his palm.
As soon as the group of people entered the entrance of the cave, a strong cold current rushed towards them, making Lei Xiao sniffle.
Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly. Two completely different energies swept out from the energy vortex connected in his belly at the same time. A layer of light purple energy visible to the naked eye completely covered his body. superior.
In an instant, the coldness caused by the cold current suddenly disappeared. This is the energy shield that only the strong men of the third level and above have the strength to condense.
This magical physical manifestation of energy not only has the effect of reducing one's own harm to a certain extent, but can also repel cold and heat, and is waterproof and anti-slip, which is extremely convenient.
After everything returned to normal, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by subordinates in the middle of the team, noticed.
This passage is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. In two or three minutes, it could only be a tunnel for two people to pass through side by side, but soon it can accommodate five or six people passing through at the same time.
Under the bright reflection of the light spar, a faint layer of frost began to appear on the walls on both sides of the cave. As the group moved forward, the frost gradually became thicker and denser.
Although Lei Xiao was not affected by his energy shield, he could still clearly feel that the temperature in the cave had dropped below zero.
"It's interesting. It's hot in summer outside, but it's ice and snow here?"
Feeling slightly surprised, Lei Xiao continued to move forward with light steps.
About five or six minutes later, a giant ice door blocking the way suddenly came into view of everyone present.
This giant ice door completely blocked the cave in front, and rich cold air continued to emit from it. From its appearance alone, it was impossible to judge its specific thickness.
"Behind this ice door should be the location of the real treasure, right?"
Chao Yan rolled up his sleeves and said confidently to Lei Xiao: "Lord, let your subordinates evaporate this ice door!"
"Go ahead."
Lei Xiao nodded, and then took a few steps back together with the other subordinates.
"Yes! Lord!"
The fifth-level staff Dance of Elements in Chaoyan's hand suddenly flashed with red light, and a giant red magic circle stretched out in front of her.
As the surrounding temperature rose sharply, a fire dragon with fangs and claws quickly jumped out of the giant red magic array, and then roared away towards the ice gate under Chao Yan's command.
Wherever the flame dragon went, all the ice and frost on the cave walls evaporated completely, leaving not even a drop of water behind. The momentum was extremely astonishing.
Not long after, when the giant flame dragon hit the giant ice door head-on with overwhelming momentum, a burst of rich water vapor swept the entire cave instantly, just like a pot exploding.
After a while, everything in front of everyone's eyes became clear again.
The flame dragon had long since disappeared, and the giant ice gate was burned out about ten meters long.
However, when Lei Xiao used the night vision effect of Star Eyes to look towards the end.
But they found that there was still a thick layer of ice there, which had not been completely penetrated.
Then, before anyone could react, the incredibly thick giant ice door returned to its original shape with lightning speed, as if nothing had happened.
"Good guy, is there an ice gate that even a fourth-level flame magician holding a fifth-level staff can't break through? You know, Chao Yan's Fire Dragon Descending technique was so brilliant in Shuiyue City before. ”
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and thought to himself: "I have to say that everything behind the ice gate is really becoming more and more interesting."
Not far away, Chao Yan was stunned for a moment, with a look of dissatisfaction on Chaoyan's fair little face. She swallowed a piece of chocolate cookie first, and then said to Lei Xiao: "Lord, please let me go again." Give it a try!”
"Sister Chaoyan, please be patient."
Xue Ya, who had long hair reaching her waist, took a step forward, waved her hand gently and said: "The fire element is originally restrained by the ice element, and the thickness of this giant special ice gate is unknown. The speed of self-repair after being damaged Extremely fast and very weird looking.”
Having said this, Xue Ya pondered for a moment, then frowned and added: "This seems to be a very special kind of ice magic. It seems that there must be another mystery behind it."
"Xueya, you are an ice magician and know the best about ice magic, so it's up to you to check it out."
Lei Xiao pondered and nodded, then said to the tall noble woman in front of him: "Let's see if we can find any clues."
"As ordered, my lord, I will do my best."
Xue Ya stroked her chest and saluted, and with a light step, she soon arrived in front of the giant ice gate.
Then, when she stretched out her slender fingers, she tried to touch the surface of the giant ice door.
Something that everyone present did not expect happened suddenly. (End of chapter)
