Chapter 167: After crying, you still have to move forward
After crying, you still have to move forward.
Ah Si cried until she was exhausted. She leaned in Zhong Suhan's arms to calm down her emotions until the wind and snow stopped.
"It's too dangerous here, we have to leave as soon as possible." Zhong Suhan comforted him. After the child nodded, he stood up and pulled him up, holding his hand and continued to walk forward. "No matter what happens, I will be by your side. Don't be afraid, Ah Si."
"Hmm." Asi sniffed and forced himself to cheer up because of her words. He could do nothing about the pain of ice and fire, but at least he could stop the Ice Crystal Beast from suffering the pain of crystallization.
After walking for a long time along the blood vessels flowing with crystals and experiencing four or five waves of wind, snow and fire, they came to a huge chamber.
In the middle of the chamber grows a strange flower that is burnt and full of cracks. The petals of the flower are in the shape of winding and twisted threads, and the flower stems are also wispy, with roots deeply embedded in the flesh wall.
As the chamber shrinks, the cracks glow with a fiery red light. This quality is like—
"Star Flame Flower?"
Zhong Suhan stepped forward doubtfully and stretched out her hand to touch it, but the heat from her fingertips, which was enough to burn her skin, made her give up the idea.
"Star Flame Flowers grow on charred trees." Ah Si walked over to her side and carefully examined her fingers. He let go only after making sure that there were no burns. "This is probably the ventricle of the Ice Crystal Beast. This flower is its power source, similar to a human heart."
The walls of the chamber are ice blue and translucent, just like the walls of blood vessels, and inside the walls there is bright red blood undergoing replacement.
If the crystal fragment came from here, then things would be very tricky. The blood came from all directions and went in all directions, and there was no way to determine where the source was.
Ah Si felt a little tricky, and looked around. Suddenly he heard Zhong Suhan calling him, so he went back to the flower and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look here, isn't it a bit like the crystallized part of Lin Qiu's body?" Zhong Suhan half-knelt and pointed at the base of the flower, "It's not very obvious, just a little bit at the edge."
Ah Si also squatted down and looked carefully for a long time before he saw the one millimeter crystallization. His excitement lasted only three seconds before it was immediately replaced by fear and panic.
"It is crystallized at this location, which means that the source of the crystallization is the heart of the Ice Crystal Beast..."
His whole body trembled at this fact. He didn't have the ability to remove the sick 'heart'.
The cold hand felt warm, and Ah Si's attention was partly diverted to Zhong Suhan. He looked at her, and his heart calmed down. A plan quickly came up in his mind. "We... have to go to the Boshu Pavilion."
"Boshuguan?"
A Si took out a lot of medicinal herbs and a syringe for drawing blood from his backpack and asked Zhong Suhan to help him draw blood.
"Yes, I can't treat this ice crystal beast now. I have to go find out, but there is very little information about ice crystal beasts in the world. I have found all the information there."
The blood draw was somewhat painful, and he took a deep breath before continuing.
"But the information about the origin and structure of the Ice Crystal Beast is very vague. I feel that my current knowledge is not enough to save the Ice Crystal Beast. I need more relevant books to study."
The child spoke with a firm tone, a resolute expression, and looked indescribably handsome when he was serious.
Zhong Suhan raised the corner of his mouth, pulled out the needle to help him stop the bleeding, his eyes were gentle, "Okay, I will accompany you no matter where you go."
The potion that alleviates crystallization is not only effective for humans, but also has the same effect on ice crystal beasts. Asi poured the prepared potion on the flowers.
Perhaps because of the pain, the Ice Crystal Beast shook violently and roared.
The shaking was sudden. Even with Zhong Suhan's protection, Ah Si still fell to the ground and hit the chamber wall hard. It was soft, otherwise his bones would be injured. He stood up with gritted teeth and walked to Zhong Suhan's side, "How are you?"
To be honest, it doesn't hurt as much as when I fell off Sanliang's back.
It’s just that it’s rare for a child to show his straightforward concern, and an eagle-like woman also wants to act coquettishly.
"Wow, it hurts so much, maybe I broke a bone."
"Which bone? Where?" Ah Si nervously checked her body, "Where does it hurt?"
"Mouth, it will only be better if Ah Si follows you gently."
Ah Si subconsciously wanted to kiss her, but his ears turned red at the other's cunning eyes like a kitten. He didn't kiss her, but slapped her on the head, and then angrily asked her to pick up the equipment scattered on the ground.
After packing up, the two returned the same way and used the wind to return to the ground.
Going back is much easier than coming down. As long as you control your balance and get out of the wind range when you reach the exit, you can land on the ground easily.
But... the hair-thin silk thread at the exit doesn't look like spider silk that can stand still in such a strong snowstorm. If I were to hit it with the wind, I would probably be torn into pieces.
Zhong Suhan took out a three-edged black iron knife. The knife could cut iron like mud, but it only cut a hole in the silk thread and failed to completely destroy its shape. The sharp edge scratched her clothes. Even the smallest wound was so painful that it made people frown when exposed to such a low temperature environment.
Fortunately, Ah Si was well protected by her, and even his clothes did not have a single scratch.
"Zhong Suhan, we have to make it quick." Ah Si took out the hemostatic powder he carried with him and sprinkled it on her wound. "The weather is cold, and the wound heals slowly. I can protect myself, don't worry about me."
Xie Nian walked out from behind the black-robed messenger. It was cold here, and the clothes she wore were much thicker than the last time she saw them. There was also white fur on the edges, which looked very noble even in such a doomsday with scarce resources.
"My dear sister, is it fun to be inside the ice crystal beast?"
Zhong Suhan did not answer, but just blocked Ah Si behind him. Even if he died here, he had to send Ah Si out. Thinking of this, he held the three-edged black iron knife horizontally in front of himself, "Yao Mo must have caused you a lot of trouble these days."
It would be fine if I didn't talk about this. Once I mentioned this evil thought, I gritted my teeth. I don't know what Zhong Suhan said to Yao Mo. He actually took the initiative to ask to manage some things in the tribe and was even investigating the affairs of the "ranch".
If He had not been prepared in advance, I'm afraid Yaomo would have found out something.
"I underestimated you, but it doesn't matter. I'll keep you both here today, and nothing will happen."
