Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in the empty ice cave, stirring up waves of echoes, as if even this dead space was laughing at their predicament.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm laughed twice, "Well... I climbed up bit by bit. With your current physical condition, you should... probably... maybe... be able to climb up, right?"
Huo Yuhao looked up and saw that the ice wall when he came was steep and smooth, almost at a ninety-degree right angle, and there was no place to grab a hand. Although there was a steel cable that he used when he came down, he was just a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster now. How could the Soul Power in his body support him to climb to such a high place?
Once Soul Power is exhausted and his strength weakens, he will slide down without any suspense, and all his efforts will be in vain.
What's more, although this Myriad Year Profound Ice Cave has lost all its ten thousand years of mysterious ice, and even the ice cubes have been ripped off directly, the temperature is not low at all, and may even be colder than outside, almost comparable to the temperature of Extreme North Land Core Circle.
"Brother Sky Dream!" Huo Yuhao said with a hint of despair in his voice, "What should I do now?"
"Uh...Yuhao, do you want to try climbing up like this?"
"..."
Huo Yuhao suddenly fell silent. At this moment, he really wanted to pull this unreliable Sky Dream Ice Silkworm out of the spiritual sea and give him a good beating. But thinking that Brother Sky Dream was after all to help him find Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow who could make him change against the will of heaven, he held back the tone in his heart.
"Then what should we do now?" Huo Yuhao asked weakly.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was also thinking quickly, and suddenly an idea flashed. "Yuhao, you see, although there is no ice in this ice cave, the ice particles on the cave wall may be the remnants of tens of thousands of years of Profound Ice Marrow, containing extremely cold air. You can try to see if you can absorb it, and it may improve your Martial Soul."
Speaking of the latter part, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice unconsciously became much quieter.
He didn't even have the confidence to say this.
What's more, he has absorbed so much Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow. How can he not know whether there are any residues of Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow in it?
Is this... really?
Huo Yuhao Hearing this, he walked to the cave wall with some doubts.
He stretched out his hand to touch the fine pieces of ice. The moment he touched the fine pieces of ice, a bone-chilling chill instantly came from his fingertips, making him shiver.
This temperature is colder than the snow and ice outside!
Could it be that... what Brother Sky Dream said is true?
He gritted his teeth and tried to circulate the Soul Power in his body, trying to absorb these tiny pieces of ice according to the method Sky Dream Ice Silkworm taught him to absorb Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow.
But...
No matter how hard he tried, the ice particles just turned into water droplets in his hands and could not be absorbed at all.
"Okay."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed, "It seems that this place has indeed been completely emptied. Yuhao, don't worry, let me think of a solution."
Huo Yuhao sat down against the cave wall and did not speak any more. He just looked at the huge empty ice cave with dull eyes, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly froze.
He suddenly discovered that one area of the cave wall seemed to have more ice ballast than other places, and in a daze, he seemed to see something behind the ice ballast!
There... seems to be glowing?
Huo Yuhao subconsciously turned on his Martial Soul. With the help of Martial Soul's excellent eyesight, Huo Yuhao confirmed his judgment.
There must be something behind that!
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but tell Sky Dream Ice Silkworm what he found.
"Brother Sky Dream, look there!"
Under Huo Yuhao's reminder, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm soon noticed something strange there.
Although he didn't know what it was, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't help but feel refreshed. "Yuhao, quickly, open up those ice particles and take a look!"
Hearing this, a look of embarrassment flashed across Huo Yuhao's face.
It wasn't that he didn't want to remove the ice shards, it was mainly that the height where the icy shards were located was not low, and he had to use the iron rope he had just fallen to climb up bit by bit.
However, it was still much less difficult than him climbing all the way up with the iron rope.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and reached out to hold the iron rope.
The moment his palm touched it, a biting chill came along the iron chain, causing his fingers to shrink subconsciously.
Huo Yuhao's heart suddenly shivered.
The iron rope was not so cold when he came down. But in just a short time, the iron rope was covered with a thin layer of frost, making it impossible to exert any strength on it.
But without the strength, he could only grit his teeth and do it.
Huo Yuhao sighed, tugged hard on the iron rope, and after confirming that it was still firm, began to climb up.
"Hiss--"
After climbing only two steps, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath.
The iron rope was more difficult to deal with than he thought. Every inch it moved upward, the thin frost on it would pierce into his palm. Although it was not unacceptable, it still made him feel uncomfortable.
What's even worse is that the iron rope is constantly shaking, causing his body to swing back and forth in the air, almost hitting the hard ice wall several times.
Such a swinging iron rope would soon exhaust all his strength.
"Steady, steady!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shouted in his mental sea, "Yuhao, protect your hands with Soul Power, don't hold on!"
Huo Yuhao followed the instructions and mobilized the Soul Power in the body, condensing it on the palm of his hand. Sure enough, with the protection of Soul Power, the biting chill was reduced a lot, and the grip became more stable.
"Yuhao Don't cry, stand up and board!"
"Brother Sky Dream, I think if you could say less at this time, I might be able to climb faster."
"Uh... Is that so? Come on then."
Huo Yuhao didn't speak anymore, his expression became completely focused.
Every time he climbed a certain distance, Huo Yuhao wanted to stop and take a breath. But he couldn't stop. Maybe once he stopped, he would lose strength and slide down directly. But what was worse was that his arms had begun to get sore, and his shoulders were as heavy as lead, and the location of the pile of ice above his head still seemed out of reach.
That damn garbage Martial Soul!
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but curse in his heart.
If he had obtained Martial Soul from Ultimate Ice, he would not have to suffer such a crime at all, let alone come to this place to look for Wannian Profound Ice Marrow!
But...
Now, he can only place all his hopes on this illusory ten thousand years Profound Ice Marrow.
What if... what if after that ice ballast, there is Profound Ice Marrow for ten thousand years?
