When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 816 - 323: Cyan Light Flame (2)

Li Xiu followed her and saw numerous protrusions in the Snow Valley close to the Ice Mountain. There must be at least a thousand Ice Turtles in the Snow Valley.

However, it was difficult to discern the level of these Ice Turtles as their Light Energy and fluctuations were extremely concealed, making it hard to distinguish their level from the intensity of the Light Energy waves and glow.

Li Qingyi did not intend to disturb them. It seemed like the Ice Turtles’ level was not low, otherwise, she wouldn’t need to be so cautious.

The distance, albeit short—just one or two thousand meters—took them three to four hours to pass through, arriving at the base of the Ice Mountain.

The section of the mountain at the bottom was not covered in snow, meaning the two were about to lose their cover.

Moreover, the mountain below was as straight as a knife edge, nearly at a ninety-degree angle, making it challenging to climb up.

Li Qingyi leaned close to Li Xiu’s ear and whispered, "When we climb the mountain later, make sure not to jump or fly on the mountain wall. Just stick to the ice wall while climbing, and do not damage the ice wall. Though the ice wall seems empty, if it is damaged, it will alert the magical creatures here. If you’re confident you can climb, come with me. If not, you can stay here and wait for me. I’ll go up to see if there’s a Longevity Lamp. If there isn’t, I’ll come back down quickly."

"I’ll go up with you," Li Xiu replied, leaning close to her ear after she finished speaking.

"Alright, then remember what I just said. Don’t make any noise, or we’ll be in trouble," Li Qingyi reiterated sternly.

Li Xiu nodded slightly without saying more.

Seeing that Li Xiu was prepared, Li Qingyi began climbing the ice wall.

The ice wall was extremely smooth, with almost no foothold on the ninety-degree ice wall, yet Li Qingyi maneuvered with empty hands, like a gecko, and climbed up the ice wall.

After climbing for a while, Li Qingyi looked back and saw Li Xiu still perched there without moving. She gestured him to follow.

Seeing the gesture, Li Xiu stood up, approached the ice wall, and like Li Qingyi, climbed up like a gecko.

Li Qingyi was slightly startled at the sight. The Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill was not a Trial Taker Talent Skill, but a body technique invented by humans. She had practiced for a long time to master its essence.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiu had also learned the Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill, and judging by his proficiency, he wasn’t inferior to her.

Li Xiu, in fact, hadn’t learned the Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill; he was merely climbing the wall following Li Qingyi’s approach.

The two moved along the ice wall, one behind the other. Li Xiu did not notice any magical creatures within the ice wall, but dared not be careless and proceeded cautiously as Li Qingyi instructed, taking care not to make any noise.

They climbed over the Ice Mountain, arriving at the slope covered in snow, where Li Qingyi visibly relaxed.

Lying in the snow, she quietly spoke to Li Xiu, who had caught up, "The snow layer here on the mountain top is about four to five hundred meters away. Once we reach the top, we’ll be able to see if there is a Longevity Lamp near the fire seed point."

"What exactly is that fire seed point?" Li Xiu asked.

"You’ll find out once we get up there. Follow the old rule: stick with me and don’t make any noise," Li Qingyi said, continuing to climb.

Li Xiu followed her upward, soon discovering that there were also many Ice Turtles within the snow here. But the Ice Turtles on this side were much smaller than those in Snow Valley and harder to spot with hardly any noticeable protrusions.

Hence, Li Qingyi chose each path very carefully, moving forward only after confirming several times that no Ice Turtle was hiding in the snow.

Even so, a mishap occurred.

Li Qingyi had already confirmed multiple times but failed to notice an Ice Turtle hidden in the snow.

Li Xiu saw Li Qingyi suddenly stop moving in front and knew something was wrong. He didn’t dare speak, cautiously shifting to look past her.

Li Qingyi also turned around at this moment, her hands pressed into the snow. One arm was almost entirely sunk into the snow, while the other was barely submerged up to the wrist, suggesting something beneath her hand.

Li Xiu instantly understood what happened: beneath Li Qingyi’s hand lay an Ice Turtle.

The Ice Turtle, however, hadn’t been awakened, but if Li Qingyi released her hand now, the snow beside might collapse, no one knew whether the Ice Turtle would wake up. Hence, Li Qingyi dared not lift her hand directly.

Li Xiu found this quite thrilling, like standing on a landmine.

He crawled cautiously beside Li Qingyi, who dared not speak, only gesturing to him.

Li Xiu understood her meaning; she wanted him not to worry about her and to go ahead and check whether their Longevity Lamp was up there.

Li Xiu nodded, bypassing Li Qingyi and the Ice Turtle beneath her hand, and climbed up from another side.

Li Xiu climbed very slowly, realizing that even Li Qingyi, who could fight Spirit Forging Level creatures, was so cautious. These Ice Turtles were no simple matter; it was wise not to act recklessly.

"Later, I’ll ask Chu Jun if I can also get an Inspiration Skill. If I had his Inspiration Skill, it wouldn’t be so troublesome here," Li Xiu thought as he climbed.
