495: Cold Pond Ice Sculptures

Lin Feng and the other three looked at the murals, and a sense of awe spontaneously arose in their hearts.

They knew that this mission was not simple.

They not only had to face powerful Spirit Beasts and treacherous terrain, but also fight against these suppressed powerhouses.

But the four of them did not flinch.

They looked at each other, and all saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "It seems this journey is fraught with danger. Since we have already come this far, we cannot retreat. No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, we must face them together. What do you all think?"

Fire Kirin, Nanming Li Fire Beast, and Miss Jin Wu nodded heavily in agreement.

The four of them headed deeper, and before long, arrived at a cold pond. The cold pond was bottomless, and the chilling air was so intense that it seemed capable of freezing everything.

Lin Feng and the other three stood by the cold pond, all feeling the strong chill.

Fire Kirin Ruiming frowned and said, "This cold pond doesn't look simple; we need to be careful."

Nanming Li Fire Beast also nodded upon hearing this. He said, "That's right, the aura here is so cold; there must be powerful Spirit Beasts or dangers hidden within."

Lin Feng looked at the cold pond, feeling a little worried.

He said, "We don't know what's in this cold pond, but since we've come this far, we can't retreat. Moreover, if we can't get past this place, we won't be able to go deeper. Everyone, let's carefully investigate first and see if we can find clues to enter the depths of the ruins."

Miss Jin Wu then spoke, "I don't see any obvious mechanisms or traps around this cold pond. Perhaps we can try going down to take a look."

Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this. He said, "Alright, Miss Jin Wu is right. The four of us will go down together, looking out for each other. We should be able to handle any dangers."

So, the four of them carefully flew over the cold pond. Just as they were about to fall into the cold pond, a powerful suction force suddenly came from within the cold pond, pulling the four of them in.

The four of them only felt their vision go dark, and their bodies fell uncontrollably downwards.

After an unknown amount of time, when the four of them opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a huge ice cave.

The ice cave was surrounded by crystal-clear ice crystals, sparkling with dazzling light, as if it were a world of ice and snow.

Lin Feng and the other three climbed up from the ground, looking around, all of them shocked. They had not expected such a mysterious place to be hidden beneath this cold pond.

Fire Kirin Ruiming frowned and said, "The aura here is so cold; there must be powerful Spirit Beasts or dangers hidden within. We need to be careful."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "That's right, we cannot be careless. Since we have already come here, we must find clues to enter the depths of the ruins."

So, the four of them carefully explored forward.

They passed through several ice crystal corridors and arrived in a huge ice chamber.

In the center of the ice chamber, there was an ice sculpture, and within the ice sculpture, a powerful existence seemed to be Sealed.

And in front of the ice sculpture, there were two rows of ice sculptures, standing on both sides. These people looked as if they were holding a meeting before being frozen, suddenly Sealed in the ice sculptures by some powerful force.

Lin Feng and the other three looked at the huge ice sculpture, all filled with surprise and curiosity.

They had not expected such a mysterious ice sculpture to be in this ice cave.

Fire Kirin Ruiming frowned and said, "This ice sculpture doesn't look simple; there must be some powerful existence Sealed within. We need to be careful."

Lin Feng nodded. He said, "That's right, we cannot be careless. This ice sculpture very likely hides clues to entering the depths of the ruins."

So, the four of them carefully approached the ice sculpture.

They found that there were some ancient runes on the ice sculpture, emitting a faint light.

Those runes looked somewhat similar to the runes at the entrance of the ruins, but also different.

The four of them did not notice that when they entered this place, one of the powerhouses within the ice sculptures moved his finger slightly within the ice sculpture.

The four of them observed for a while but found no abnormalities. They decided to look for treasures here. Just as the four of them were about to split up to search for treasures, a low rumbling sound suddenly echoed in the ice chamber.

The rumbling sound seemed to come from within the ice sculpture, carrying a powerful pressure that startled all four of them.

They had not expected such a powerful aura to be hidden within this ice sculpture.

Lin Feng and the other three quickly stopped what they were doing and vigilantly watched the ice sculpture.

The runes on the ice sculpture began to flash with dazzling light, as if responding to the rumbling sound.

And the existence within the ice sculpture also seemed to be gradually awakening.

The four of them could clearly feel that the powerful pressure was continuously increasing, making them all feel a hint of danger.

Fire Kirin Ruiming's expression was solemn. He said, "Not good, the existence within this ice sculpture seems to be awakening. We need to leave here quickly."

Lin Feng also nodded upon hearing this. He said, "That's right, we can't stay here any longer. We must leave this ice chamber quickly."

So, the four of them turned and ran, rushing towards the exit of the ice chamber.

However, just as they were about to rush out of the ice chamber, the existence within the ice sculpture suddenly burst out with a powerful force, sealing the ice chamber's exit.

The four of them looked at the sealed exit, their hearts sinking.

They had not expected the existence within this ice sculpture to be so powerful, capable of sealing their retreat.

Fire Kirin Ruiming was surprised. These Sealed ice sculptures were now breaking free from their Seals.

What these four did not know was that when they entered this place, it happened to be the critical moment for one of the powerhouses within those ice sculptures to Breakthrough the Seal.

That powerhouse, before being Sealed, was an existence of immense power.

Because he was an enemy of the Qilin Clan, he was ultimately Sealed in this ruin by the combined efforts of the Qilin Clan's Ice Qilin powerhouses.

However, after countless years, the power of his Seal had gradually weakened.

And the arrival of Lin Feng and the other three just happened to become the opportune moment for him to Breakthrough the Seal.

The powerhouse within the ice sculpture began to become gradually indistinct.

A powerful aura emanated from him, as if he wanted to destroy the entire ice chamber.

Lin Feng and the other three were all greatly shocked by this sight.

They had not expected the powerhouse within this ice sculpture to be so powerful.
