Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

#Li Ming did not feel the dangerous aura brought by the crystal butterfly, so he forced himself not to retreat, but just watched quietly as the huge crystal butterfly flew in front of him.

The crystal butterfly seemed to have mistaken him for part of the statue and flew around him. Then, it flew unexpectedly slowly towards the crack in the ice wall.

Finally, the crystal butterfly stopped at the crack of the ice wall and gently flapped its wings towards him, as if issuing a silent invitation, motioning him to follow.

At the same time, after a flash of dazzling white light, the statue regained its composure and fell into silence.

Li Ming was stunned. Although he hesitated for a moment, he finally walked slowly towards Jingdie.

As he gradually approached and the distance shortened to less than two meters, the snow-white crystal butterfly suddenly changed its flight direction and flew lightly towards the crack in the ice wall.

At this moment, Li Ming was completely sure that Jingdie had stopped there before to wait for him to come over.

Following the footprints of the snow-white crystal butterfly, he crawled out of the crack and found Yunshan and Dongmen Qiansha looking at the crystal butterfly with curiosity.

"Li Ming, what kind of creature is this?" Yun Shan shifted her gaze from the crystal butterfly that looked like a white elf and turned to Li Ming and asked puzzledly.

"I don't know. I can't tell what kind of creature it is." Li Ming shook his head.

Dongmen Qiansha also frowned and said puzzledly: "Logically speaking, the creatures here should all be ice elemental creatures, but I can't sense any breath of ice element from it."

Looking at the snow-white crystal butterfly in front of her, Yun Shan suddenly thought of another question, "Could it be that the mysterious light ball that floated past the statue before was actually this crystal butterfly?"

"That's right." Li Ming replied, and then he briefly described the situation inside the statue's ice cave.

"Ah?" Yun Shan asked in surprise, "You mean the ice energy around the statue can be easily absorbed?"

"In that case, why don't we take the opportunity to absorb some? After all, it won't waste much time." Dongmen Qiansha added.

"No." Li Ming took a deep breath and then slowly said, "That place gives me an extremely dangerous feeling, but I don't know where the danger comes from. In short, it is definitely not a good place."

Hearing this, the other two looked at each other and tacitly chose to remain silent.

After all, Li Ming's strength is much stronger than theirs, coupled with his terrifying mental power, it is not surprising that he can sense some subtle dangers.

After a brief silence, Yunshan spoke again, "What about this crystal butterfly? Should we follow it?"

"Let's follow it and see where it wants to take us." Li Ming said calmly. With the advance warning of 'Time Pupil Shadow', even if this thing wants to trick them, it won't be that easy.

Next, the three of them followed the trail of the snow-white crystal butterfly and slowly shuttled through the dark frozen world.

The flying speed of the crystal butterfly is surprisingly slow, moving only two or three meters per second.

Moreover, Li Ming must keep a distance from the crystal butterfly within twenty meters, otherwise the crystal butterfly will stop and wait patiently for him to approach.

Because of this, they followed the crystal butterfly for more than an hour, but they didn't actually walk very far.

"Where is this thing taking us? And it's flying so slowly." Yunshan finally couldn't help but break the silence, with a hint of complaint in her voice.

"Huh..." Dongmen Qiansha exhaled a stream of cold air and gently patted the thick frost covering her body, "I hope it's not taking us for a wandering."

Yunshan noticed her actions and asked with concern: "Qiansha, can you still hold on?"

"To be honest, it's a bit exhausting." Dongmen Qiansha smiled bitterly, "I feel like my blood is freezing..."

As she spoke, she began to mobilize the fire element energy in her body.

Gradually, a huge, blazing fireball took shape in her hands and slowly spun around the three people, bringing them a hint of warmth and slightly dispelling the coldness around them.

In this warm current, Yunshan felt unprecedented comfort.

Then, she turned her head to look at Li Ming, who had been silent the whole time, and asked, "Li Ming, is this guy wandering around unconsciously? Are we sure we want to follow him?"

Li Ming finally spoke, and he responded calmly: "Although the flight path of the crystal butterfly is winding, it always maintains a clear direction and is very smart in avoiding ice monsters."

"Really?" Yun Shan widened her eyes in surprise, a little bit unbelieving, "This little thing is so powerful?"

"Yes." Dongmen Qiansha reacted immediately, "We followed the crystal butterfly for more than an hour, but we didn't encounter any monsters. This is really unusual."

Just as they were talking, the snow-white crystal butterfly flying slowly in front suddenly changed direction and flew towards a huge crack above the wall of the ice cave.

"It seems that we are not far from our destination." Li Ming said in a deep voice.

"Huh? How did you know?" Yunshan asked curiously.

Li Ming explained softly: "This is the first time that I didn't sense the presence of any monsters ahead, and the crystal butterfly changed its flight direction."

After hearing this explanation, the two of them immediately understood, and their eyes simultaneously revealed a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Then, the three of them followed the crystal butterfly's trail and entered the deep crack above the ice wall together.

As soon as they entered, they immediately felt the narrowness and disorder of the internal space, which looked as if it was ruthlessly torn apart by the forces of nature.

The width of the crack is less than two meters, but its depth extends to twenty to thirty meters.

However, the narrow space was not the focus of Li Ming and others.

Their eyes were fixed on the deepest part of the crack, where three crystal cores the size of human heads were embedded in the ice wall, emitting a dazzling white light that made it impossible to look away.

"L7 grade pure ice element crystal core!" Yun Shan exclaimed, her voice full of shock.

After coming to her senses, she quickly apologized to the snow-white crystal butterfly hovering above the crystal core, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I misunderstood you before. You really are an expert in treasure hunting! I..."

However, before she could finish her words, the crystal butterfly turned into dust and dissipated in the air like a bubble, leaving no trace.

"Eh..." A trace of astonishment flashed across Yunshan's face, and her expression looked a little dull.

Dongmen Qiansha was also a little surprised and was speechless for a moment.

Only Li Ming looked calm. He habitually turned on the 'Time Pupil Shadow' to scan the surroundings. After confirming that there was no hidden danger, he quickly came to the three L7 grade ice element crystal cores and started to dig.

The higher the grade of the crystal core, the more difficult it is to mine.

This time, it took him a full eight minutes to dig them all out of the ice wall.

Just as I put the excavated crystal core into my backpack, suddenly, a series of intermittent sounds came faintly from the left side of the crack.

Li Ming immediately moved closer to the ice wall and listened attentively.

"Please... let me go... I don't want to..." It was a trembling and weak male voice.

Then, another cold voice sounded, "You only have two choices, either get close to the statue and lure the crystal butterfly over, or die now!"
