"It's open." Jiang Muxia ran to the cave entrance with a look of joy on her face.

The hidden weapon that Tang Zhongbai was worried about did not appear here, but he was still on guard. He locked the door, blew out the oil lamp, and walked into the cave with Jiang Muxia one after the other.

As soon as they stepped in, the entrance behind them inadvertently fell down, fitting perfectly with the surrounding walls, without leaving any trace.

Entering the cave, there is a staircase going down. This small house is like two different seasons inside and outside. It is scorching hot outside, and freezing cold inside.

The two men's clothes had long been soaked with sweat, and they suddenly entered the underground dark room which was as cold as winter, and could not help but shivering from the cold.

"It's so cold. What's down there? Why is it so cold?" Jiang Muxia crossed his arms and his teeth were chattering.

"Ice cellar." Tang Zhongbai looked at her curled up in a ball due to the cold. He felt sorry for her but there was nothing he could do. His clothes were damp and sticky, and taking them off and giving them to her would only add to her burden.

Jiang Muxia saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "You really underestimate me. You think you can defeat me with such a small difficulty? Dream on."

She ran downstairs. The space in the underground hall was as big as three rooms, and most of the room was filled with square blocks of ice.

It's so cool here, no wonder the goddess stays here.

Jiang Muxia walked into the ice house and looked around for another room. She didn't believe that the goddess could sit quietly on the ice and talk to Tianqing.

Where exactly did she end up?

Tang Zhongbai and she thought the same thing. It was impossible for the insect eggs to survive in an extremely cold environment, so they must be kept somewhere else.

The two men were like headless flies, searching around the ice cellar for what they wanted.

They had just moved from a scorching hot environment to an extremely cold place, and in less than an hour, it seemed like they had gone through two seasons.

Jiang Muxia looked at the place where the ice was piled in the room and saw that it formed a walkway opposite the stairs, leading directly to the inner wall.

I have an ice cellar at home. According to normal people's psychology, it is right to place the ice cubes along the wall.

She was sure there was something wrong with the base of the inner wall.

She focused her attention on the inner wall facing the stairs, walked up to it, and squatted down. There must be something wrong because there was no ice there.

She looked up and down the area, touched everywhere, and found nothing unusual.

"What did you find?" Tang Zhongbai walked up and asked.

"No. I just thought this place was a little strange, so I took a closer look."

Tang Zhongbai rubbed his hands vigorously, took her hand, helped her warm it up, and asked her to stand aside while he went to find the mechanism.

Ice cellar, ice cellar, ice cellar, these two words repeated over and over in his mind, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Since she put the ice cellar in the open, she might use the ice as a cover. The mechanism must be hidden in these ice cubes.

After figuring it out, he turned his attention to the ice on both sides.

She had been here yesterday, and the traces she left behind must not have been removed.

He closed his eyes and ran his hands over the ice to feel the difference.

Finding nothing unusual on the left, he started from the right side. He did not open his eyes until he reached the inner wall. He locked his target on the crystal clear ice in his hand.

On the surface, this piece of ice looks like a large square block, but if you touch it with your hand you can feel the layers between the ice cubes.

"Found it." Tang Zhongbai took out a sharp knife and inserted it into the middle of the ice.

The whole block of ice broke into pieces in an instant, and a white crystal stone that was very similar to the ice appeared in the ice layer.

This white crystal is about the size of a green brick, half of it embedded in the wall and half fused with the ice. There is a small bulge on the exposed side.

Tang Zhongbai pressed it lightly, and the wall in front of him slowly shrank inward, and a door appeared before his eyes.

Tang Zhongbai picked up a piece of broken ice and threw it into the door, but there was no response from inside.

Jiang Muxia walked over quickly with a torch in hand, and the two walked side by side into the inner room and into a small corridor. There were two rooms on each side of the corridor, and both doors were closed.

Jiang Muxia walked on the right. She reached out to open the door of the first room, but was stopped by Tang Zhongbai.

"Wait. The more hope we see, the more we must not let our guard down. Tianji is very calculating. She won't let anyone easily enter such an important place. It's better to be careful."

He blocked Jiang Muxia behind him, leaned sideways and pushed the door open with the tip of his sword. In an instant, a sharp arrow shot out from the house and went straight to the wooden door opposite. The wooden door was shot into pieces, and the sharp arrow passed through the wooden door and hit the wall of the opposite house.

If this kind of force were to penetrate a person's body, it would penetrate the body and kill the person instantly.

"What a cruel heart." Tang Zhongbai felt a little scared. If he hadn't stopped her, he wondered what would have become of his beloved girl?

"Anything else?" Jiang Muxia's face darkened. She really underestimated people's evil. It turned out that after the goddess agreed to go to the county, she left a backup plan in the secret room.

"It should be gone. Just stand here and don't move. I'll go and take a look." Tang Zhongbai took a piece of ice from the ice cellar and threw it into the first room again. This time there was no reaction. He felt relieved. After looking carefully, he found that this room should be the living room of the goddess Xia Ri.

"Come in, it's okay."

Jiang Muxia walked in with a cold look. The room was not big. There was a bed inside, a rosewood wardrobe against the wall, and a table and a chair. There was nothing extra.

"Let's go. There's nothing here that we're looking for." She ignored Tang Zhongbai as he took out a thicker cloak from the cabinet. She would feel that anything belonging to a vicious person was dirty at the first sight.

"It's too cold here, you should put it on."

Tang Zhongbai chased after her holding the red cloak in his hand and was about to put it on her, but she pulled it away and threw it to the ground.

"Her stuff is too dirty, I don't want it. After being hot for so long, it's just right to have a cool place, I'm happy to enjoy it." She imitated Tang Zhongbai and took some ice cubes and threw them into the second room on the right. There was no response. She was alert and walked in slowly. Only then did she find that the room was almost empty. There was only a large wooden table against the wall, with two large black wooden boxes on the table. There were symmetrical round air holes on both sides of the wooden boxes. There were more than 20 small black boxes piled up at the foot of the table.

Jiang Muxia couldn't help but get excited. She had seen a smaller black wooden box like this last night. It was the box containing the insect eggs.

"Found it. The Gu worm eggs must be here."

"Don't move." Tang Zhongbai pulled her in front of her, took out a black scarf and covered his face with it, put on thick gloves, pushed Jiang Muxia to a distance of ten feet from the wooden box, and then opened the box.

As soon as he opened a gap, he felt something running out from inside. His forehead hurt, and he loosened his hands, and the lid of the wooden box slammed shut.

Jiang Muxia, who was staring at him, was quick-witted and had been on guard with a whip in her hand. When the black thing flew to Tang Zhongbai's face, she whipped it and hit it, but it was still a step too late, and Tang Zhongbai was bitten.
