Ciel looked at the frozen monster silently, feeling a sense of desolate beauty.

After a few minutes, the swamp monster in front of him had completely stopped moving and turned into an ice sculpture.

As for Charles, the exact reason behind this is unknown.

Ye Xi cut off the monster's head, but unexpectedly it became very fragile. It fell to the ground and turned into ice chips without being connected properly.

"I wanted to leave the essence of the head, but I didn't expect that even the inside would be frozen."

Ye Xi jumped down from the ice sculpture with a bit of disappointment, patted his clothes, and then flicked his hand casually, and the entire ice sculpture instantly turned into pieces.

Charles didn't know what the principle was, and she was very curious about it.

Ye Xi was also helpless and didn't want to start a long speech, so she folded her hands and began to popularize some knowledge from the field of chemistry.

"Nitrogen is a gas that is insoluble in water. Normally, it cannot react with water."

"But nitrogen at room temperature will turn into a misty state, which will also cause the surrounding temperature to drop."

"I poured the pure water in the bottle over the monster's entire body, turning it into a humid state. The leaked nitrogen began to absorb the surrounding heat."

"Because the temperature of liquid nitrogen is much lower than the freezing point of water, it absorbs a large amount of heat from the water, causing the water temperature to drop rapidly."

"When the water temperature drops below -10°C, it begins to freeze into ice. This is because water needs to release a certain amount of heat during the freezing process, but the temperature of liquid nitrogen is very low and cannot provide enough heat to meet the heat required for water molecules to crystallize. Therefore, the water molecules continue to transform from liquid to solid, forming ice cubes."

After listening to this, Charles felt a little confused. It sounded like an elemental reaction, except that something new appeared.

For Ye Xi, nitrogen is everywhere, but it is not effective until it is processed.

Thinking about the bottles of nitrogen spray I just threw away, I felt a little sad. I spent 500,000 technology coins in one go, which was like throwing it away in the water.

It's only natural that a disgusting yet powerful enemy like the Swamp Thing would drop loot.

But after searching around, I found that there was really nothing under the bottom of the swamp except most of the broken ice and a frozen eyeball.

After all the trouble and risk of being eaten, all you have left is a creepy eyeball that looks like it could be crushed at any time.

"What a disappointment..."

After killing the swamp monster, Ye Xi and Xia Er walked forward for about ten minutes and finally saw a ray of light.

In the dim forest, the light not far ahead is undoubtedly guiding him to escape.

After crossing the forest, the two can breathe a sigh of relief for a short time, but then they have to face new crises again.

“Finally it’s out!”

"I never want to experience that kind of dead silence and darkness again. I thought I was really going to die here."

Ye Xi and Xia Er finally managed to escape from this lifeless and dangerous forest.

But before they could recover, after seeing the scene in front of him, Charles had already begun to feel like giving up.

The world beyond the forest is a death valley, where the roads are mosaic-like.

This is an area shrouded in transparent mist, with undulating mountains all around and pitch-black caves at the foot.

The weather here has been gloomy and dark, and the scenery is no less beautiful than what we saw in the forest just now.

There are no plants here, and life has become rare here. It is really completely dead and silent. They are afraid that there is something in the fog that is always watching the two of them.

There is no wind, no rain, no alternation of day and night, only the word "dead silence" is displayed vividly.

“I feel like the name Death Valley is a bit too simple.”

“Is there really only death in Death Valley?”

Ye Xi walked forward casually, analyzing the situation in the area. Charles slumped to the ground and became restless again.

"There's no sign of life here. It's called Death Valley because the atmosphere destroys the spirit and causes people to go mad and die."

To put it more practically, any creature that enters here will be affected by the Death Valley, causing it to suffer a mental breakdown, do some extreme things and die.

Suddenly, Ye Xi seemed to notice something. When she turned around, she found that Xiaer's eyes were blank and his face was pale, like a broken doll.

"It happened!"

Seeing this, Ye Xi hurried over and gave Charles a loud slap, then grabbed Charles' shoulders and shook him.

"Charles! Wake up!"

Charles covered his cheek in pain, his face looked extremely ugly, and his vision returned to clear from blurry.

"It hurts!"

"Huh? What happened to me just now?"

Seeing that Xia'er had regained her sanity, Ye Xi slapped her again, which finally made Xia'er regain consciousness.

"What are you doing?!"

"I'm saving you!"

After hearing this, Xiaer pushed Ye Xi away, stood up and complained loudly.

"I'm fine now! Why did you hit me so casually?!"

"Even my father has never hit me in the face... and yet you slapped me twice in one go!"

"Neither you nor I have ever stepped into the Valley of Death. Random distractions can lead to unimaginable consequences!"

Charles didn't know what happened to her just now. Her eyes became dull, her head was shaking, and her whole body became stiff.

At this moment, the special slime that originally parasitized in Charles' body suddenly appeared and rubbed Charles' neck.

"what happened?"

Slime shook his head and then looked at Ye Xi again.

"What does shaking your head mean?"

"It might be telling you that I'm right, because it saw exactly what you looked like just now."

"Is that so? Could it be that I really misunderstood you?"

Slime nodded again. Although Charles didn't understand what had just happened, he realized that what Ye Xi said just now made sense.

Don’t think that Death Valley is calm at the moment, it’s because they don’t know how everyone who came here died.

After thinking for a moment, Charles walked towards Ye Xi with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, it's because of my inexperience that I made you worry so much."

"I understand. Elves generally don't interact with outsiders. Even though they are highly wary of most races, it's difficult for them to protect themselves in unknown areas."

Being able to get Ye Xi's understanding, Xia Er smiled with relief, and felt a little more respect and trust for her in his heart.

And just behind Charles, who couldn't see them, and in Ye Xi's blind spot, the expressions of the two of them became serious at the same time.

From Charles's perspective, she saw a pair of blood-red eyes and sharp claws behind Ye Xi.

From Ye Xi's perspective, she saw a tall figure with his arms open, looking at Charles in a lewd manner.

"Be careful behind you!" the two shouted in unison.
