Chapter 1707: Extreme Cold

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Crawling on both sides of the walls was spider-web of black tree vines. Judging from the thickness of the vines, it was at least hundreds of years old. Just like their surroundings, they could not find a single piece of green leaf on the old vines.

“It seems like all these old vines crawled their way out from the bottom of this ravine! Shine some light down there! I’m going to climb down now!”

Right after that, Gang Zi put one of his feet down and stepped on the old vine.

Klak!

No one expected that the thick old vine would snap into half after Gang Zi stepped on it!

“Ah! Ah…”

With that, Gang Zi started an uncontrolled descent down the ravine. Tumbling from such heights, even the most powerful elite would die from it.

“Gang Zi! Gang Zi…”

Su Xiaoman was the first one who rushed to the side of the ravine and started to shout out for Gang Zi. Right after that, the rest of the disciples of Divine Tiger Faction did the same as well. In the faction, Gang Zi had a charismatic personality. Hence, he was liked by a lot of people. Everyone from Divine Tiger Faction prayed that Gang Zi would survive the fall. Tragically, no matter how loud they shouted, there was no response from Gang Zi.

“Stop shouting… falling from such a height, his Ethereal Barrier would have surely been shattered! Also, don’t forget that the Abyss Ice Zone is at the bottom of this ravine! There’s no way that Gang Zi can survive from falling into that!” said Ouyang Huxiao.

“No! Gang Zi is such a nice person! He should not die just like that! Let me go down and look for him!” said Su Xiaoman.

“Xiaoman! Calm down! Gang Zi is dead! We will not make the same mistake! Can we at least assess the situation first?”

“No! Gang Zi is not dead! He is definitely still breathing! Shixong, let me go! I have just assessed the situation! The old vines are all dried up! That’s why they are so brittle! I will not step on the vines! I will go down by stepping on the rocks instead!”

“This… You are right about that! Let’s not touch the vine! The rocks can help us to abseil down the ravine! It might be a good idea after all! But, you have to be very, very careful! Don’t rush it!”

“I know!”

Immediately, Su Xiaoman freed herself from Ouyang Huxiao and started to traverse down the ravine. Though she was rushing to rescue Gang Zi, she still made sure to watch her every step. She had both of her hands holding on to the rock on her both sides. She then gingerly put one of her feet down to look for the next stepping point.

“So cold!”

Her hands were practically freezing after they gripped the wall of the ravine for a few seconds. Her skin had turned so pale as if it was covered by a layer of frost. One should know that Su Xiaoman’s health was 600,000! If she, of all people, started to feel cold, that would mean the temperature of the ravine’s wall was absolutely freezing.

In actuality, it was normal for her to feel the coldness of the rocks. A One-star Earth-God item was equally as powerful as an Earth God! A Two-star Earth-God item, on the other hand, was ten times more powerful than the One-Star item!

As of right now, a Three-star Earth-God item, the Abyss Ice was waiting for Su Xiaoman at the bottom of the ravine. Using it to craft an Earth-God Instrument would actually allow the person to kill anyone and even Two-Star Earth Gods with ease!

Luckily, there were no Three-star Earth-God Instruments down there waiting to attack Su Xiaoman. The Abyss Ice was purely emanating its natural aura.

“Xiaoman! Use your Ethereal Force to protect your hands! Do not underestimate such coldness!” shouted Ouyang Huxiao.

Swoosh!

As a matter of fact, Su Xiaoman had the intention of doing so even before Ouyang Huxiao shouted at her. Without wasting any time, Su Xiaoman channeled her Water Ethereal Force to cover her hands to protect herself from the cold air.

“This cold air is really weird! It is trying to weaken my Ethereal Force! I have to get down there as fast as possible before all my Ethereal Force is gone!”

“Xiaoman! I think you should wait! Let’s come up with another plan!”

“No! We can’t wait any longer! Gang Zi is running out of time! I have to get down there and save him!”

Su Xiaoman then continued descending as she stepped on another stone.

Klak!

The next stone that she stepped on shattered! Just like Gang Zi, none of them expected that this would happen as well. Both of her hands let go of the rock that she was holding on to and she was about to descend to the Abyss Ice Zone.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from the crowd and held on to Su Xiaoman’s wrists.

“Childe Chen… How…”

Still in shock, Su Xiaoman started at the man that held on to her wrist. He looked like a deity that came down from heaven to save her life.

“Come up first!”

Chen Xiaobei then used a huge amount of his strength to pull Su Xiaoman up.

“Everyone! Step back! Don’t stand at the edge of this ravine!”

“Who are you?! How dare you order us around?”

Immediately, everyone from the Divine Tiger Faction was irked and they proceeded to draw out their weapons.

“It’s you! Why are you here?! I understand now! You used Xiaoman to lead you here! You want to steal our treasure?!” shouted Ouyang Huxiao.

“I’m not trying to steal your treasure! Right now, I’m telling you the truth! The rocks around the ravine are completely frozen. They would shatter like ice if you put too much force on it!”

“Don’t try to fool us around! There’s no way that we will trust you… trust that you are not going to steal our treasure! I don’t think you are here with good intentions!”

“First! If the rocks around the ravine shatter, all of you will have to dig for a long time before you get your hands on the treasure! Second, if your friend is not dead, he might still be able to make it out alive if we go down and save him right now! But, he will surely die if all these rocks collapse on him!”

“This…”

Ouyang Huxiao was left in a dilemma.

“Everyone! Listen to Childe Chen! Back off! I lost my grip because the rocks did indeed shatter! He is not trying to fool us!” shouted Su Xiaoman.
