The only survivor was a middle-aged man.

He relied on himself to condense a khaki crystal shield and was struggling to resist the fierce attack of thunder.

The other three L5-level psychics, including Xi Lingyin, were also doing their best to fight against the thunder bombardment that was as fierce as divine punishment.

At the same time, several people were eagerly looking for a way to escape this disaster.

But unfortunately, all their efforts were in vain.

The Chaos Thunder Source Field is indestructible, and there is no field of the same level to compete with it. Their chances of escape are almost zero.

Three minutes later, the violent turmoil finally subsided and peace returned to the surroundings.

The field constructed by the gray-purple thunder runes has dissipated, and only some indistinguishable fragments remain on the cold ground, silently telling of the tragic battle just now.

Cecily came over, gently brushed off the frost that had accumulated on her body, and slowly said, "You mentioned before that the high-level crystal cores on the second floor of the Ice Abyss are closely guarded by monsters. If you use your brain a little, you will know that the team that can lure away the crystal butterflies around the statue and obtain the crystal cores is definitely not a good team."

"They are just three L5-level psychics, yet they dare to get involved in such a dangerous investigation. They are really overestimating their own abilities."

"People die for money, birds die for food. This is an eternal truth. There is nothing strange about it." Li Ming responded indifferently.

Then, he released his demon eyeball, and his illusory vision carefully scanned every corner of the ice cave. He continued, "Although they don't have the strength to get their hands on high-level crystal cores, if they can really find any valuable clues, they might be able to sell them for a good price."

Cecily couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, "I really don't know whether to say they are lucky or unlucky."

"This has nothing to do with luck." Xing Mei pursed her red lips, her cold voice carrying a hint of indifference, "They died because of their own greed and arrogance. If they had chosen to leave, nothing would have happened."

At this time, Li Ming had already put away the Demon Eyeball and flew onto the ice platform again.

After careful exploration, he found that the statue was still in a safe time period, so he raised his arm and called out to the two people in the distance.

After receiving his signal, Cecily and Xingmei smiled at each other, then they joined hands and flew over quickly.

As soon as she approached the statue, Cecily exclaimed, "It's so warm... It's almost like being around a fire on a cold winter day."

"Yes." Li Ming nodded. "Absorbing ice element crystal cores here will greatly improve efficiency, but if it is a crystal core of other attributes, it will not be of much use."

The three of them did not waste any more time and quickly lined up under the statue, ready to begin absorbing the energy of the crystal core.

In front of everyone, there is a huge crystal core suspended, colorful and radiant.

In front of Cecily was an orange-red force-attribute crystal core, while Li Ming and Xing Mei were each facing an ice-attribute crystal core as white as snow.

Xingmei and Cecily quickly entered a state of ecstasy, devoting themselves completely to the absorption of elemental energy.

Only Li Ming, his illusory eyes were always flickering slightly.

Half of his mind was focused on absorbing the energy, while the other half remained highly alert at all times, looking around and paying special attention to the color changes of the statue.

Time flies like an arrow, and two hours slipped away without me noticing.

There was total silence in the ice cave, with only the faint breathing sounds of the three people echoing in the air.

The pure ice element crystal core in front of Li Ming and Xing Mei has shrunk visibly. In comparison, the force attribute crystal core suspended in front of Cecily has not changed much.

At this moment, the more than three-meter-tall white statue suddenly changed color, turning into black and purple in an instant, and exuding a deep and evil aura.

Li Ming's eyes jumped slightly, and his reaction was extremely quick and skillful. He immediately stretched out his arms to hug the two people around him, and then retreated to three hundred meters away at the fastest speed.

Cecily and Xingmei were awakened at the same time, but they quickly regained their composure.

"Has the statue entered a dangerous period?" Cecily asked.

"Yes." Li Ming nodded, "We need to wait one to three hours before the statue can enter the safe period again."

After saying that, he gently rubbed his slightly tired eyes and said, "I'll take a short break. Cecily, you continue to absorb the crystal core. Xingmei, the mission of vigilance is left to you."

"Okay." Xingmei responded softly, then lightly flashed to the entrance of the ice cave.

This huge ice cave has only one entrance, and as long as you guard it, you will be safe.

Cecily glanced at the three crystal cores still floating on the ice platform, thought for a moment, and then took out another crystal core from her backpack.

She sat cross-legged on the spot, reached out and touched the crystal core in front of her, continuing to draw energy from it.

In the next hundred hours, Li Ming returned to the familiar fixed-cycle operation mode.

Whenever they entered a safe time period, he would take Cecily and Xingmei onto the ice platform and concentrate on absorbing the energy of the crystal core.

Once the dangerous period comes, the three of them will quickly retreat to the entrance of the ice cave and rest in peace.

Although the statue cannot improve Cecily's efficiency in absorbing the crystal core energy of the force attribute, the fluorescence it emits can help her calm the violent ice element raging in her body.

Therefore, she could only follow Li Ming's rhythm, climb onto the ice platform together, and evacuate together.

In addition, Xingmei's speed in absorbing the ice element gave Li Ming an unexpected surprise.

So far, she has successfully absorbed two and a half L7 grade pure ice element crystal cores.

If she continues at this pace, perhaps in about three hundred hours, she will be able to successfully complete the transformation of her physical condition.

But unfortunately, time did not allow them to stay here and absorb the crystal cores.

Li Ming silently estimated in his mind and said in a deep voice: "30 hours should have passed in the real world. We must go back first to avoid any trouble."

Cecily glanced at Xingmei and suggested hesitantly, "Little man, why don't you go back alone first, and we will wait for you on the Ice Abyss. This way we can save some teleportation fees."

"Absolutely not!" Li Ming refused without hesitation.

If Cecily and Xingmei's strength had reached L5 level, he might have considered it for a while, but they were currently only L4+ in strength. How could he dare to leave them in such a dangerous place?

Xing Mei frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something, and said, "I have the ability to become invisible, so I can..."

But before she could finish her words, Li Ming raised his hand to interrupt her, "Don't say anything more, it's not uncommon to find people who can see through the invisibility ability, you guys come back with me!"
