A 00-year-old man meets online love in person. I am really a post-XNUMXs

Xiaoqi suddenly pointed to a spot on the ice crystal and said, "Look, the pattern here is different from the rest; it looks like a raised little pattern."

Following Xiao Qi's gaze, everyone saw a small raised pattern. This pattern resembled an ancient totem, emitting a faint glow.

Yu Jiaoying curiously reached out and touched the pattern. The moment she touched it, the ice crystals emitted a slight buzzing sound. Then, the gaps began to slowly shimmer with blue light, and some ice crystals began to move slowly, as if the gaps were widening.

Everyone watched this scene with surprise. Yu Jiaoying said nervously, "I...I didn't know it would happen. I just touched it."

Su Qingluan comforted her, "It's alright, Senior Yu Jiaoying. It seems this is a mechanism that you accidentally triggered. Everyone be careful and see what happens next."

And then, the gaps in those ice crystals slowly began to widen. They expanded to a point where a person could generally pass through.

Xiao Qi spoke up, "Should we go through? Is there enough room for one person to go through now? I'll go in first and check it out. What do you think?" Xiao Qi suggested going out first to test the waters. He was someone willing to sacrifice for the team, and his bright eyes shone with determination and courage.

Su Qingluan waved her hand and said, "Don't panic, let's see how things go! We can use a dummy to test it out!" Su Qingluan was always cautious in her actions. In this mysterious place full of unknowns, any reckless behavior could bring about annihilation.

Having said that, Yun Feifei nodded; she knew quite a few martial arts techniques.

"Shadow Clone Copy!" After Yun Feifei finished speaking, an identical Yun Feifei appeared from her body as a phantom. This shadow clone looked exactly like the real person, both in appearance and the aura it exuded.

Yun Feifei manipulated her shadow clone, walking towards the crevice. The shadow clone's steps were light and cautious, each step carefully making its way closer to the ice crystal crevice emitting a mysterious blue light. Everyone's eyes followed the shadow clone closely, their expressions solemn, their hearts filled with worry about the unknown danger.

When the shadow clone reached the edge of the crevice, it stopped, seemingly sensing something. After a while, it slowly stepped into the crevice. As soon as it entered, the blue light around the shadow clone became even more intense, the light seeming to have a tangible quality, and began to wrap around the shadow clone.

Yun Feifei frowned, concentrating on controlling the shadow clone. She could sense some vague information emanating from the shadow clone, as if there was a force pulling at it, but there was no obvious danger yet.

The shadow clone continued walking inside, passing through the gap and entering a world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. The others watched the shadow clone's every move with bated breath through the gap. Once inside, the shadow clone was surrounded by lush flowers, trees, and shrubs. Various exotic plants emitted enchanting fragrances, and colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze.

Suddenly, vines appeared beneath the shadow clone's feet. As if alive, they quickly wrapped around the clone's legs and continued to climb upwards. Yun Feifei was startled and hurriedly tried to make the shadow clone struggle, but the vines tightened their grip.

Just then, some butterfly-like creatures flew down from the surrounding trees, their wings shimmering with dazzling light, and flew towards the shadow clone. After these butterfly-like creatures reached the shadow clone, they began to release some fine powder. When the powder landed on the shadow clone, the shadow clone began to become somewhat illusory.

Yun Feifei broke out in a cold sweat and said to the others, "There is danger inside. Those vines and butterfly creatures seem to be aggressive."

Su Qingluan said, "Let's recall the shadow clones first, and then we'll think of another way."

Yun Feifei nodded, concentrating on trying to recall her shadow clone. However, the vines tightly bound the shadow clone, preventing it from leaving, while the butterfly creature continued to release powder, making the shadow clone increasingly ethereal; the situation was extremely critical.

"This is a very dangerous world! We must be careful before entering!" Yun Feifei said. "Of course, my hidden clone can only sense about fifty percent of my main body's abilities. Although it's not much, it can still sense the danger inside!"

Su Qingluan's expression was solemn as she followed what Yun Feifei's shadow clone had sensed inside.

It was indeed full of danger.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the far north.

It's really worrying and frightening.

"So what do we do now? Should we go in or not?" Xiao Qi asked, looking at Yun Feifei and Su Qingluan.

"Go in!" Su Qingluan gritted her teeth and said.

Next, Xiao Qi walked towards the gap ahead, proceeding with extreme caution. His eyes were fixed on the surrounding ice crystals, and he took each step with utmost care, as if he were walking on a bottomless abyss.

But just as his body entered the crevice, trying to pass through, the ice crystals suddenly closed up. The closure was incredibly fast, the ice crystals rubbing against each other making a creaking sound, like the roar of a demon.

"Xiao Qi, be careful!" Yun Feifei shouted. Her voice was full of anxiety, and her eyes were wide with fear.

As for Xiao Qi, she was almost completely trapped by the ice crystals. The immense pressure came from both sides of the ice crystals, and Xiao Qi felt as if her body was being squeezed by two mountains, making it difficult to breathe, and her bones made a creaking sound as if they could not bear the weight.

But at the crucial moment, Xiao Qi shouted, "Golden Claws of the Qilin!" Instantly, his hands were enveloped in a golden light, which materialized into two enormous Qilin claws. The Golden Claws were indestructible; he struggled to hold on with his hands, preventing the ice crystals from closing in and crushing him into a pulp. Xiao Qi's face was filled with determination; despite the immense pressure, his eyes showed no sign of retreat. "Xiao Qi, I'll help you!" Lei Sha, seeing Xiao Qi struggling, didn't hesitate and rushed to his aid. He reached out and supported the closing ice crystals on either side, then shouted, "Power Amplification!"

This is a power-enhancing technique called Mountain Moving Hand. Once activated, Mountain Moving Hand grants exponentially increasing power, capable of moving mountains and filling seas—it's incredibly powerful. Furthermore, this power can continuously increase based on the user's spiritual energy level. Lei Sha's spiritual energy flowed continuously into the Mountain Moving Hand technique; his arm muscles bulged, like the gnarled roots of an old tree, veins popping out, making him appear incredibly powerful.

With Lei Sha's help, Xiao Qi felt much less pressure. However, the ice crystals seemed to possess boundless power and were still slowly closing in.

Seeing this situation, Lin Tianchou said, "This can't go on. I'll try using wood-elemental spiritual power to see if I can stop these ice crystals." With that, he formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A powerful surge of wood-elemental spiritual power erupted from his palms, spreading towards the ice crystals. The wood-elemental spiritual power coiled around the ice crystals, and the speed at which they closed finally began to slow down.

Su Qingluan wasn't idle either. She said to Yun Feifei, "Let's use our spiritual power to attack the ice crystal together and see if we can reopen it." Yun Feifei nodded, and the two stood together, simultaneously unleashing their spiritual power. Su Qingluan's beast power and Yun Feifei's spiritual power converged into a powerful force, blasting towards the ice crystal.

With everyone's combined efforts, the ice crystal finally stopped closing and began to slowly open again. Xiao Qi and Lei Sha breathed a sigh of relief. Lei Sha withdrew his power, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "That was close! Xiao Qi almost got trapped."

Xiao Qi also withdrew his Qilin Golden Claw. His hands trembled slightly; the pressure he had just endured had drained him of much of his strength. He gratefully said to everyone, "Thank you all. If it weren't for you, I would have been in danger."

Su Qingluan looked at the reopened crack and said, "This place is too dangerous, but since we've come this far, we still need to find a way to get in and take a look. Everyone, check carefully again to see if there are any other traps or dangers."

After listening to Su Qingluan's words, everyone carefully examined the ice crystal crevice again, and no one dared to be careless in the slightest.

“It seems these ice crystals also have their own detection mechanism. Think about it, when Fei Fei’s shadow clone entered, it was able to let it pass without any reaction, but when Xiao Qi passed by, these ice crystals quickly closed up!” Su Qingluan analyzed. “In other words, if a real flesh and blood body were to enter, it would trigger the mechanism!”

Xiao Qi said, "Just now, Senior Yu Jiaoying didn't open the mechanism, but triggered a decoy mechanism. Think about it, the ice crystal opened a gap that could fit a person, so we definitely had to try to go in. Once inside, it would close quickly. If it weren't for my Qilin Golden Claw, Lei Sha's Mountain Moving Hand, and everyone's efforts, I would definitely have been crushed into a meat patty!"

Lei Sha thought for a moment and said, "That's not the case. Think about it. If it's made of flesh and blood, what about the bees that went in earlier? Aren't they made of flesh and blood too? I think there are other conditions for determining this mechanism that we haven't fully figured out yet."

Lin Tianchou nodded: "Lei Sha makes sense. Perhaps these ice crystals have different criteria for judging different creatures. Bees were able to enter smoothly because they have some special aura or attribute that the ice crystal mechanism judged them as harmless. But we humans, or beings with special abilities like Xiao Qi, are judged as dangerous."

Yun Feifei frowned and said, "So what should we do now? We can't just sit here and wait, nor can we recklessly try again."

After pondering for a moment, Su Qingluan said, "I have an idea. We can try to use spiritual power to simulate the scent or attributes of bees, and then try to enter. Although this is just a speculation, there is no better way at the moment."

Xiaoqi's eyes lit up: "This method sounds feasible, but how do we simulate the scent of bees?"

Yu Jiaoying said, "I can try to use my ice-type spiritual power, combined with the ice crystal attributes of the bees I observed before, to create a similar aura. However, I need everyone's help, since my spiritual power is limited. Initially, I was already short of true energy when I used that domain skill to eliminate those bees!"

Everyone nodded, indicating their willingness to provide spiritual energy support. Yu Jiaoying took a deep breath and began to circulate the spiritual energy within her body. Everyone slowly poured their spiritual energy into Yu Jiaoying's body, and a faint blue light began to emanate from around her. The blue light seemed to contain some fragments of ice crystals, like the ice crystal shell on a bee.

Yu Jiaoying formed hand seals and chanted incantations. As spiritual energy gathered, a blue sphere of light gradually formed in her hands. The sphere of light emitted a cold aura, somewhat similar to that of the Ice Crystal Bee.

Yu Jiaoying said, "I've tried my best to simulate a bee-like scent, but I don't know if it will work. Who would like to try entering the ice crystal crevice again?"

Xiaoqi volunteered, "I'll do it. I've already gained some experience, so I should be more careful this time."

Su Qingluan nodded: "Xiao Qi, be careful. If there is any danger, come back immediately."

Carrying a blue orb that mimicked the scent of a bee, Xiao Qi cautiously approached the ice crystal crevice. His heart pounded involuntarily, his eyes fixed on the ice crystal, ready to face any potential danger. As he neared the crevice, he stopped, bringing the blue orb close to his body, letting its icy aura envelop him. Then, he slowly stepped into the crevice.

This time.

It imitates the scent and properties of bees.

I wonder if everyone was able to successfully detect the mechanism of ice crystals!
