infinite blood core

The capital of ice sculptures.

In the ten thousand year ice lake.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Cang Xu observed the ice lake outside the alchemy laboratory.

This is a silent world. The ice layer acts as a huge natural barrier, blocking out the hustle and bustle of the royal capital on the surface. During the day, the sun shines through from the top layer of ice, making the entire lake blue. Light refracts between cracks and bubbles in the ice, creating a flickering scene like the Northern Lights underwater.

At night, without the suppression of the uppermost sunlight, the dim light of organisms dominates. The bioluminescence emitted by various moss, aquatic plants, winter fish, etc. converges into a touch of light green, saturating the entire glacial lake from bottom to top.

This is also a world full of life. Between the layers of ice is the slowly flowing lake water. It has a unique ecological system. The creatures that live and reproduce here are not only extremely cold-resistant, but also have their own unique characteristics.

Cang Xu knew that this was the result of being radiated by the divine power of time.

The creatures here alone can be studied by mages for countless years, and the lake water and ice have extremely high research value. Cang Xu secretly sneaked here with the ship ghost, constantly receiving external information. He already knew about the ice cube and red wine, and heard about the new things happening in the royal capital, including the dragon and lion mercenary group.

The ship ghost floated silently to Cang Xu's side, and said in a faint tone: "Don't look, Master Necromancer has summoned us."

Cang Xu then followed the ship ghost into the center of the alchemy laboratory and met with the Necromancer.

The spirit of the Necromancer was quite exhausted.

After entering the alchemy laboratory, he used the laboratory alchemy components here to continuously observe the surrounding scene.

What he focused on was the newly built royal project - the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Super Array.

Quite fruitful.

"The cost of building this super magic circle is astonishing, and it has a strong connection with the Time Dragon Corpse."

"The magic circle has not been activated yet. It is currently in trial operation. The maximum activation level does not exceed 5%."

"Once officially launched, the array can conduct powerful reconnaissance and testing on the conditions of each layer of the Ten Thousand Years Ice Lake. This will undoubtedly greatly help the Ice Sculpture Royal Family to master this super resource point."

"This is an achievement that the Ice Sculpture Kingdom has never achieved in the past thousands of years!"

"After the magic circle is fully activated, the ice sculpture that seems to be able to shape the dragon of time goes into battle, possessing unparalleled power."

How much divine power it has, the Necromancer cannot be sure.

The magic circle has other functions, which the Necromancer cannot yet find out.

"Several pillars of the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Array are still down there. The alchemy laboratory I'm in is only built on centuries-old ice."

The Wannian Ice Lake is divided into several layers.

The outermost surface is ten-year-old ice. After countless years of reinforcement by the kingdom and the construction of numerous magic circles, it has become very tough and thick.

Above the ten-year ice layer is the capital of ice sculptures. Under the ice, there is flowing lake water. First, there are several years of glacial lake water, and then there are more than ten years, and dozens of years. A hundred meters away from the ten-year ice layer is the lake water that is hundreds of years old. The deeper the lake, the older it is.

Under the water of the lake, which is more than a hundred years old, is a second layer of ice - a century-old ice layer.

Most alchemy laboratories are set up above and below the ice.

Under the century-old ice, there is hundreds of years of lake water.

When the lake reaches a thousand-year age, it becomes a thousand-year ice layer.

Crossing the thousand-year ice layer and continuing deeper, the lake becomes older. Thousands of years accumulate all the way, reaching the level of 10,000 years.

When we arrived here, we reached the bottom of the glacial lake - a huge layer of ice covered the sediment.

This is the most essential part of the Ice Lake - the ten thousand year ice layer - according to legend, the body of a fallen Time Dragon is sealed inside! It is precisely because the divine dragon fell here that a super resource point like the Ten Thousand Years Ice Lake was created.

"We must find out as much specific information as possible about this ten thousand year dragon array!"

"By the time this super magic circle is officially activated, it will be too late. We can no longer conduct investigations so easily."

The Necromancer has long known some rumors and rumors about this super magic circle, but the truly major secrets are strictly guarded by the Ice Sculpture Royal Family.

There is no doubt that this completed super magic circle will become one of the most important trump cards of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom!

"The current investigation has reached its limit."

"If you want to investigate more, you have to go deeper and go to the thousand-year ice layer."

"If you want to fully understand the magic circle, I'm afraid you have to reach the ten-thousand-year-old ice layer at the bottom of the lake!"

The specifications of the alchemy laboratory built on the thousand-year ice layer are much higher than those on the century-old layer. There are almost no mage towers on the century-old ice layer, but many have been built on the thousand-year ice layer.

Once you reach the ten thousand year ice layer, there are only a handful of mage towers, each of which is very tall. And the temple of the Great Cult headed by the God of Glacier. These temples are not the main temple, but each temple has strong combat power. It is a powerful measure for the major sects of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom to work together to suppress the bottom of the Ice Lake.

The Necromancer secretly sneaked into the Ice Sculpture Kingdom and reached deep into the Ice Lake. Naturally, he had a heavy responsibility.

For long-term planning, he has decided to explore the truth of the magic circle, so he summoned Ship Ghost and Cang Xu.

The Necromancer did not say that he wanted to leave this place and go deep into the ice lake. Instead, he said: "In the past few days, I have started the alchemy laboratory with all my strength, observed the ice sculpture royal family's Ten Thousand Years Dragon Array, and discovered that this super formation has The formation is very special, and it looks like the ice sculpture guards all over the capital."

"Usually, the legs of the magic array are fixed, but the legs of this Ten Thousand Years Dragon Array are movable."

"However, the ice sculpture guards accumulated by the royal family over thousands of years are all made of ice from the glacial lake as the main material, with very few additional alchemical materials. From the source, they are indeed integrated with the glacial lake and used as a base. It’s also doable.”

"I didn't know it was the magician who had such a wonderful idea and came up with such a wonderful magic circle."

"It seems that only this idea can finally enable the magic circle to be fully activated and create a temporary ice sculpture puppet of the Ten Thousand Years Dragon out of ten thousand years of ice."

"In this way, we can test the ice sculpture guards in the capital and gain a better understanding of the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Array. You two, please do this for me."

Ship Ghost and Cang Xu looked at each other, and both immediately expressed that it was their honor to be able to help Master Necromancer.

The ship ghost then asked how to start, what kind of ice sculpture guard to choose as a target, and what channel to use to return to the alchemy laboratory after stealing the ice sculpture guard.

The Necromancer replied: "You don't have to come back, just stay in the capital."

When he goes deep into the thousand-year ice, there is a risk and he may be discovered. Once he is discovered, the ice sculpture royal family may follow the clues and find out about this alchemy laboratory.

Therefore, it would be unsafe for the two of them to continue to stay here.

The undead mentor added: "We, the undead orthodox, don't just have this alchemy laboratory in the capital."

"You can find the other two laboratories by searching at these two addresses." "There is no need to take risks and catch the ice sculpture guards. This year's Warm Snow Cup competition is going on, and there happens to be an exam question. The alchemists worked together as a team, made alchemy on the spot, and made an alchemy puppet to defeat the silver-level ice sculpture guard."

"The identity you are taking for this action is that of those who advanced to the previous Nuanxue Cup. According to the rules of the Nuanxue Cup, you can directly join the subsequent events and participate in the second round of assessment."

"In this way, you can study the ice sculpture guards openly."

The ship ghost listened carefully and took the Necromancer's instructions to heart.

Cang Xu was secretly overjoyed: "According to this arrangement, wouldn't I be able to contact Zidi directly?"

These days, although he lives in the alchemy laboratory at the bottom of the lake, he is not blocked from information. Instead, he can hear a lot of real-time news through the orthodox channels of the undead. This naturally includes the news that "Yaoma Master (Zidi) of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group participated in this year's Nuanxue Cup and achieved excellent results in the first round."

After the Necromancer completed the task, he gave Cang Xu and Jian Gui some camouflage spells, and there was still a period of time to sort things out and adjust their status.

When the time came, the two of them were arranged into the teleportation array and teleported away directly.

After the two people left, the Necromancer modified many data in the alchemy laboratory, adjusted the alchemy laboratory to an inefficient self-operation state, secretly escaped by himself, and sneaked into the ice lake.

As a result, just after sneaking into the vicinity of the thousand-year ice layer, the Necromancer triggered the alarm.

The Ten Thousand Years Dragon Formation immediately erupted with a golden light and flowed over.

The Necromancer hurriedly hid, successfully evading it without any risk, and felt a chill in his heart. He realized that the degree of activation of the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Array was actually much greater than what he had previously observed on the century-old ice.

The further down you go, the higher the detection and defense specifications of the Ten Thousand Years Dragon Array!

The golden light surged, and everywhere it went, broken ice flew, stirring hundreds of thousands of tons of icy lake water.

This kind of movement was so loud that it spread out from the thousand-year ice layer and was observed by Yuan Ci who was hiding in the alchemy laboratory of the thousand-year ice lake.

"The royal family's super magic circle is becoming more and more activated."

“I can’t stay here any longer!”

"We must open the secret of Wisteria as soon as possible."

Yuan Ci gritted his teeth, feeling tremendous pressure.

Among all the people, only Yuan Ci knew where the Wisteria Secrets were located in the Wannian Ice Lake. But just knowing this is not enough, you also need five zero-level Wisteria Secret Orders.

Yuan Ci calculated: "One for me, one for all, one for the ghost vine, one for the stone tumor and one for the onion, that's enough for five."

"After the defeat of Ice Calamity, Shi Tu successfully became Ice Prison's recommended fighter."

"Why hasn't Congmang logged in yet?"

The latest intelligence received by Yuan Ci showed that Cong Mang led his pirate group, defeated the First Marine Squadron, captured the squadron's captain Beijia alive, and arrogantly conveyed the news to the First Marine Fleet and demanded ransom.

Yuan Ci gritted his teeth. He couldn't figure out why Cong Mang still stayed at sea. Obviously now, the secret of Wisteria is more important.

After this point in time, when the royal family's super magic circle is fully activated, the entire ice lake will be closely monitored. It will be almost impossible to obtain the Wisteria Secrets again!

Yuan Ci didn't know that Cong Mang was already in the Ice Sculpture Capital.

Zidi's zero-level secret order is equivalent to three, there is one for Fat Tongue, one for Jiu, and one for Cong Mang, which makes it six in total.

But Zidi didn't have the time to think about Wisteria's secrets.

On the one hand, she didn't know about the super magic circle. On the other hand, she had more important things to be busy with.

According to the list recommended by Elder Jiujin, Zidi set out in person and came into contact with many alchemists.

But some of these alchemists directly refused to meet, some rejected it in person, and some had a big talk with Zidi Shishi and asked for a high price.

One of them, Zidi caught a flaw in the conversation, and after questioning, revealed the secret-people from the Utojian family had approached him, offered a high price, and banned him from cooperating with the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

What Zidi was worried about really happened.

The Satoma family, the Shizuka family, and even the Alchemy Guild all worked together to "encircle and suppress" the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.

Although one or two people initially agreed to form a team with Zidi, Zidi was still worried and hesitant, unable to sign a magic contract directly.

What if these people who agreed have actually been bribed by three parties with huge sums of money? Wouldn't that be inviting a wolf into the house?

The more people she saw, the more frustrated Zidi became, and she began to doubt whether her actions were meaningful.

"If I can't use a special method to truly break the predicament, it will be meaningless for me to communicate with more alchemists."

When this idea became more and more powerful, the door opened by Zidi knocking.

"You're finally here. Do you know that I've been waiting for you for a long time?" Cang Xu breathed a sigh of relief and transmitted the message secretly.

"You are?!" Zidi was stunned.

Cangxu was blessed with magic by the Necromancer, and his appearance changed greatly. Zidi didn't recognize him.

After confirming her identity, Zidi was pleasantly surprised. She never expected that she would meet up with Cang Xu under such circumstances.

Cang Xu sighed: "I didn't expect it either. The Necromancer led me to teleport many times, and finally I came to the Ice Sculpture Capital."

"I heard that you were targeted and faced difficulties."

"I originally planned to go find you, but I was worried that being too proactive would arouse others' suspicion, so I chose to wait for you to visit me."

"It just so happens that I also have a task assigned by the Necromancer. Let's work together this time."

Unexpectedly, Zidi hesitated to speak, and finally said: "How do I remember that your alchemy skills are not as good as mine?"

Zidi invited others to form a team because she wanted to find strong support.

Cang Xu smiled and said: "Miss Zidi, don't look down on me. In this exam, I can make a greater contribution than most of the participating members."

Zidi suddenly understood: "Are you trying to use the methods of the undead to make alchemy?"

Cang Xu: "Let's not talk about this for now. I want to see the leader first. I want to talk to him. The Dragon Lion Mercenary Group is in a very bad situation right now."

"Are you okay?" Zidi couldn't help but feel proud when she mentioned the dragon boy, "After the leader came back, our situation has been completely reversed, and there have been earth-shaking changes!"

"Now we are actively decoupling from the Satoma family. The leader's strength is enough for us to protect the interests of the mount potion."

Cang Xu shook his head and sighed deeply: "Anyway, let me meet with the leader first."
