Center of the Ice and Snow Continent.

A deep valley.

Six people, a wolf, and a Slime are walking toward the center of the valley.

"Brother Xing, is this the place mentioned by that Slime?" Shen Yun asked.

Han Xing nodded, "Yes."

"I can feel that the temperature here is getting lower and lower. This should be where the Divine Artifact is located!"

Upon hearing this, a fervent expression simultaneously appeared in everyone’s eyes.

According to Han Xing’s explanation.

They all realized what a shocking thing the Slime had revealed!

Turns out, at the center of this Ice and Snow Continent, there exists a very powerful Divine Artifact.

It constantly emits an astonishing chill.

Freezing the area within tens of thousands of miles.

Moreover, this Divine Artifact occasionally emits strands of pure divine power.

It was by absorbing this divine power that the Frost Slime attained High-tier Legend status.

After Han Xing finished explaining these things.

Everyone was stunned for a long time.

They all knew that becoming a Legend is a very difficult achievement.

Let alone a High-tier Legend!

Yet, by only absorbing the divine power that occasionally leaks out, the Frost Slime Emperor became such a High-tier Legend.

From this, it can be seen how extraordinary this Divine Artifact is!

That’s why Han Xing was so excited at the time.

He almost lost control over his divine power.

Others were also shocked for quite a while before coming back to their senses.

Then.

They were impatient and quickly obtained the location of the Divine Artifact from the Slime’s mouth, then rushed over at full speed.

Just as Han Xing said.

Upon reaching here, the temperature dropped even further.

The negative status of [Extreme Cold Erosion] kept appearing.

A layer of frost covered everyone’s bodies.

Shen Yun kept using the Purification Technique, barely able to maintain the status.

"Gurgle..."

The Slime made a bouncing sound.

A snow-covered cave entrance appeared ahead.

"Xiaobing, is this the place?"

Han Xing’s voice echoed from behind.

The Frost Slime responded with a divine power fluctuation, "Yes... it is, master."

"I jumped out from here."

"This ice cave... is very deep, very cold, takes a long time to climb..."

Han Xing displayed a thoughtful expression.

This ice cave indeed seems quite peculiar.

His divine power reached the entrance and was instantly enveloped by a strong chill.

He had no idea about the situation inside.

Even the Frost Slime said it’s very cold inside, indicating the temperatures beyond imagination.

To be safe, Han Xing decided to first summon Bear Spirit Gangtu to explore inside.

As Han Xing raised his bow and arrow.

A slightly phantom-like Violent Bear appeared before everyone.

Upon receiving Han Xing’s command.

Bear Spirit Gangtu hesitantly dove into the cave.

"Rumble!"

The ice and snow covering the entrance were instantly shattered.

Revealing a cave with a diameter exceeding two hundred meters. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Being a Legendary Creature, Bear Spirit Gangtu had an extremely fast burst speed.

It dashed forward rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it charged several kilometers ahead.

At this moment, Han Xing suddenly felt a weakening in his connection with Bear Spirit.

It was as if there was a delay.

Han Xing frowned.

It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Bear Spirit Gangtu continued to progress deep into the frozen area.

When it reached nearly ten thousand meters.

A sudden system notification appeared.

[Your summoned creature: Bear Spirit Gangtu has died...]

Han Xing’s expression froze.

His mood sank to rock bottom in an instant.

He had no idea what happened in the ice cave.

Bear Spirit Gangtu died shortly after being summoned.

This had never happened before.

Bear Spirit Gangtu inherited 150% of Han Xing’s attributes, possessing at least Middle-tier Legend power.

Yet, it died suddenly, without a sound of battle.

This realization sent a chill down Han Xing’s spine.

"It seems, there is considerable danger within this ice cave."

After explaining Bear Spirit Gangtu’s situation.

Everyone’s faces registered shock.

"My God... even a Middle-tier Legend died upon entering."

"What exactly is inside?"

Cheng Jianyong’s expression was puzzled, and the others also had a mixture of apprehension and tension.

At this moment, Shen Yun analyzed: "I remember, the Slime said it emerged from inside."

"Then, does it know what’s in the ice cave?"

Upon hearing this, eyes turned toward the Slime.

But it was found staring blankly at Han Xing.

"I... I don’t know..."

"When I first gained consciousness, I found myself inside the ice cave."

"I stayed there for a long time, didn’t encounter any danger..." The Slime communicated with divine power to Han Xing.

After hearing its explanation.

Han Xing nodded.

Clearly, the Slime itself didn’t know why Bear Spirit had an accident.

Either the dangers in this pit wouldn’t harm the Slime.

Or the danger in this pit emerged later.

But regardless of which reason, neither is a good sign for them.

Yet, simply giving up would leave them unwilling.

After all, this continent holds rich Extreme Ice Divine Stone mineral resources.

If they don’t resolve the source of the chilling emanation, Han Xing cannot send people for mining.

Which would mean losing a significant amount of resources.

As if understanding Han Xing’s thoughts.

Suddenly, Shen Yun said: "Brother Xing, let’s go inside and take a look."

"The Bear Spirit didn’t die immediately after entering, which means the danger is deeper inside the ice cave."
