When Chief Sarko left the cave, his steps were much lighter, and he couldn't suppress a smile on his face. Returning to the tribe, he immediately summoned all the males who could do anything, including the young boys.

"Come here, come here!" The clan leader's resounding voice echoed in the open space. "Look what good stuff I brought back!"

The orcs gathered around curiously, and the chief mysteriously took out a hide scroll from his hide bag and unfolded it carefully.

"What is this?" a young orc asked curiously.

"Great stuff! Something that can keep us warm even in this cold season!" The clan leader raised his eyebrows proudly and pointed at the picture on the scroll. "Look, look, this is a fire bed! And a fire wall! With this, our cave will be more than ten times warmer than it is now!"

The orcs looked at each other, a little confused. A fire bed? A fire wall? It sounded like it could be possible, but was it really that magical?

"Chief, is this true?" an elderly orc, his beard half white, asked tremblingly, "How warm can this thing really be?"

"How could I possibly lie to you?" the clan leader blew his beard and glared. "Don't believe me? You'll know once it's done! What are you all standing there for? Get to work! Where are the stones? Where are the wood? Get moving!"

At the command of the chief, the orcs immediately got busy. Although they were still a little skeptical, they followed the chief's orders. It couldn't get any worse anyway. The weather was really damn cold!

For the next few days, the entire Water Tribe was bustling with activity. Following the instructions on the scroll, the orcs meticulously constructed their fire kangs and fire walls. At first, they were a bit hesitant and stumbling, but gradually, they became proficient.

It wasn't long before the first kang was built. The patriarch couldn't wait to light the fire, and soon the stone slabs became warm.

"Oh, it's really hot!" an orc exclaimed, reaching out to touch the stone slab, then quickly retracted his hand, "Hot, hot, hot!"

"Well, I'm right, aren't I?" The tribe leader laughed triumphantly, his voice rising several degrees. "That's nothing! Once the fire wall is built, we'll be truly warm! This cold season, we Water Tribe members won't be afraid of the cold anymore!"

The news spread like wildfire through the tribe. The orcs rushed to see the novelty and experience the warmth of the kang for themselves. Those who had been skeptical at first were now completely convinced and bowed down to their leader.

"The clan leader is truly amazing! He can even learn this!"

"Yeah, yeah, I don't know where the patriarch learned this from, it's amazing!"

"With this kang, the kids will definitely have a much better time this winter."

The orcs chattered enthusiastically, praising the fire kang and fire wall, looking forward to the coming winter season. Of course, they all thought it was the clan leader's work, and no one thought otherwise. After all, who could have imagined that such a miraculous thing could be the brainchild of a female?

At the same time, in the territory of the Lu clan, a tall figure suddenly appeared, casually threw a beast skin scroll at the door of the cave of the Lu clan leader, and then disappeared as quietly as he appeared.

A gust of cold wind blew past, and the animal skin scroll was blown open by the wind. The drawings on it were exactly the methods of making a kang and a fire wall...

……

Inside the Abyss King City, the atmosphere was like a bowstring stretched to its limit.

Kyle stood in the center of the hall, dark energy pulsing at his fingertips. His gaze was fixed on Duoya like a knife, his amber eyes burning with rage.

"One last time, where is Rosie?"

The composure on Princess Duoya's face began to crumble. Her fishtail slapped the ground, its rhythm becoming uneven. Her aquamarine pupils constricted slightly, and her heartbeat thundered within her chest.

"I really do not know."

Kyle sneered, and black energy condensed into a ball in his palm. The dark shadow beside Duoya instantly tensed his muscles, ready to attack at any moment.

Just when the situation was tense, Enzo walked out from the shadows, his amber eyes flashing with a strange light.

"Master Marshal, I sense the breath of the Holy Female."

Kyle paused, his eyes sharp as he turned to Enzo. The energy ball slowly dissipated in his palm, but the oppressive feeling remained undiminished.

"where?"

Enzo did not answer directly, but looked at the completely inconspicuous black stone in the center of the hall.

"There."

Kyle glanced coldly at Duoya, then turned and strode towards the Black Stone. The ground trembled slightly with each step, and dark energy formed a terrifying trail behind him.

Admiral Mike and Lu Ye followed closely behind. Lu Ye's brows were furrowed, his peach-shaped eyes filled with worry. He clenched his teeth, his fists clenched until the knuckles turned white.

"Sissi, you have to be okay."

When Kyle heard Lu Ye's whisper, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Admiral Mike's blond hair gleamed in the light, and his blue eyes observed his surroundings. He knew how dangerous Kyle's current situation was - if he couldn't find Rosie, the entire Abyss Royal City might be reduced to ruins.

Enzo walked up to the black stone and gently stroked the stone surface with his slender fingers.

"This isn't just any stone," he said, his voice steady. "It's a portal, connecting to the murals."

"Mural?" Kyle's eyes glared. "Is Rosie over there?"

Enzo nodded, a complicated look in his eyes.

"The stone is the key, and the mural is the door. I can feel the Holy Lady's aura disappearing from here and passing through that door."

Without a word, Kyle reached out and pressed his hand against the black stone. A powerful wave of energy erupted from his palm, but the black stone remained motionless.

"Damn it!" Kyle growled, his amber eyes bloodshot.

"There's a kind of time-space energy fluctuation on this stone, a very ancient kind," he said, his voice tinged with awe.

Kyle turned to Enzo. "Can you open it?"

"You can try." Enzo nodded and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the amber had turned to deep purple, and his hair had turned from black to silver. The power of Jiusi had been awakened.

"A specific energy sequence is required." Jiusi's voice was even colder than Enzo's, "But..."

Before he finished speaking, the black stone suddenly glowed, and complex runes appeared on its surface. The light grew stronger and stronger, eventually forming a channel that pointed directly in the direction of the mural.

Kyle walked towards the light path without hesitation.

"Sissi, I'm coming."

Kyle and the others disappeared in the light path.

And just as they stepped into the light path, blue light appeared in Duoya's palm, and a dangerous atmosphere filled the air.

She flicked her wrist, and the light was about to shoot out - another force cut in without warning, interrupting her movement.

Duoya turned back suddenly, a chill in her eyes. Xingyun stood there, his hands still in the posture of attacking.

"Xingyun, are you crazy?" She lowered her voice, each word like an ice knife, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Xingyun lowered her eyes, her black hair falling to cover half of her face, and her voice was surprisingly calm: "I know very well."

Duoya sneered, tapping the ground with her tail, stirring up ripples in the water. "Choosing your own death so clearly?"

Xingyun raised his eyes, his gaze passing through Duoya, and fell on the familiar figure on the distant mural. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that Duoya had never seen before.

"Well, it doesn't matter if I die."

Four simple words, decisive and resolute.

Duoya's chest heaved violently, and her fingers clenched and unclenched.

"you--!"

She swung her tail violently, splashing water everywhere. "Stingy, let's go!"

Mingying glanced at Xingyun quickly, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he followed Duoya away.

The remaining Xingyun stood alone in the center of the hall, his gaze fixed for a long time on the graceful female figure on the mural. His eyes were smiling and gentle, as if he had seen someone through time and space.

"Finally..." He murmured softly, his fingers tracing the air, tracing the outline of the person in the mural, "I found you..."
