The green-skinned monster landed heavily in front of Xi Qianxue. She infused the water enveloping the monster with her Spiritual Power. The once-soft water gradually solidified, transforming into a large block of ice, trapping the monster within.
The monster was frozen in the ice block, while the remaining four smaller monsters suddenly seemed to lose consciousness, standing motionless in place.
Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed, a golden light glinting momentarily, extinguishing the four small monsters instantly.
Having dealt with everything, she approached Xi Qianxue in surprise and said, "You can actually turn water into ice!" In her previous life, she had seldom encountered Ice Element Superpower Users. A professor who studied superpowers had mentioned that the Ice Element was a mutation of the Water Element. Ice can turn into water, but turning water into ice is not easy.
Therefore, the skill Xi Qianxue displayed surprised her a bit.
Xi Qianxue’s cheeks were slightly pale as she looked at Mu Qingge, showing a faint smile, and nodded, "I can, but it requires a lot of Spiritual Power. It consumes too much, so I generally don’t do it that way."
After explaining, she pointed to the ice block encapsulating the large monster, saying to Mu Qingge, "This ice block can make it lose consciousness and remain comatose."
Mu Qingge nodded and said to Xi Qianxue, "Since we’ve caught it, let’s head back. I suppose Ji Yaohua and the others are already heading towards that cave by now."
"Alright." Xi Qianxue nodded.
Mu Qingge suddenly asked, "How long can your ice block last?"
Xi Qianxue pursed her lips and explained, "As long as I keep infusing Spiritual Power, it can be maintained indefinitely."
Mu Qingge understood, nodded ever so slightly, and then left with Xi Qianxue, carrying the large ice block.
As they departed, they deliberately left marks outside the cave, so there was no worry about finding it or taking the wrong path.
About twenty days later, Mu Qingge and Xi Qianxue finally arrived at the entrance of the cave they had sealed, with the ice block still intact.
When they arrived, there were two people outside the cave entrance.
One person stood like a pine tree, while the other lazily squatted beside him.
Upon seeing them, the eyes of both people lit up with excitement.
"Qingge! You finally came back, I’ve missed you so much!" Ji Yaohua, excited by Mu Qingge’s arrival, stood up with open arms, rushing towards her.
Mu Qingge quickly sidestepped, avoiding Ji Yaohua’s lunging form.
"Ouch!" Ji Yaohua embraced fiercely but ended up hugging the large ice block encapsulating the monster, its cold aura causing him to shiver and gasp.
"Hiss—! What the hell is this!" Ji Yaohua quickly released his arms, jumped to the side, and rubbed his arms vigorously.
When he saw that Mu Qingge and Xi Qianxue had brought back a large ice block, his expression turned even more bizarre, "Where did you dig up this big ice block? Planning to bring it back for cooling off?"
Xi Qianxue chuckled at his words but didn’t elaborate, merely looking towards Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge ignored him, walked directly to the cave entrance, and touched the large stone sealing the entrance. After a moment, she withdrew her hand and said to the others, "The Forbidden Technique is still intact."
"During the time we stood guard here, it’s been very quiet inside," said Ying Ze, who was standing next to the cave entrance.
"How long have you been here?" Xi Qianxue asked curiously.
Ji Yaohua squinted, thought for a moment, and said while rubbing his chin, "About one or two days."
Xi Qianxue’s expression dimmed a bit, knowing that in another day or two, she would have to be the first to leave the Ancient Battlefield. At that time, she would have to fulfill her promise to sever all thoughts about Mu Qingge.
"Qingge, let me tell you, our journey was quite thrilling..." Ji Yaohua began his chatter incessantly.
Mu Qingge pretended not to hear, and said to Ying Ze, "Let’s open the cave entrance together."
"Alright," Ying Ze replied promptly.
Mu Qingge removed the Forbidden Technique on the stone sealing the cave entrance, while Ying Ze cooperated by lifting the giant stone and setting it aside, opening the entrance.
"Let’s go in," Mu Qingge said.
"Wait," Ji Yaohua stopped Mu Qingge, a wariness in his eyes, "What if it wakes up and goes berserk inside? We haven’t found a way to solve its problem yet. Should we just take it out and then figure that out?"
Mu Qingge flicked his hand away and stepped inside.
Xi Qianxue glanced at Ji Yaohua and followed Mu Qingge in. But after taking two steps, she turned back to Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze, saying, "Could you two Young Masters bring the ice block inside the cave?"
With that, she headed into the cave alongside Mu Qingge.
Ji Yaohua stood there bewildered, looking at Ying Ze and asking, "It’s just an ice block, does she really have to be that concerned about it?"
Ying Ze, however, was slightly more insightful, saying quietly, "Perhaps they’ve already found a way to save Wei Molili."
Ji Yaohua’s eyes lit up, and he slapped his forehead, "Right! Why didn’t I think of that? Qingge has always been clever, surely she’s figured out a way!"
When the two of them entered the cave with the ice block, the inside was already lit. Xi Qianxue was crouched in the corner lighting a fire, while Mu Qingge was dismantling the Forbidden Technique inside.
After setting down the ice block, Ji Yaohua and the other then carried out Wei Molili.
"He’s still been asleep all this time," Ji Yaohua remarked in surprise.
Mu Qingge checked Wei Molili’s pulse, and after a while, she released his wrist and reported to the three others waiting, "His pulse is quite calm. Although the toxins have invaded somewhat during this time, they are still within controllable limits."
"Have you found a way to save him?" Ying Ze asked directly.
Mu Qingge raised her hand, pointing to the ice block in the cave, "Perhaps the solution lies inside there."
"Inside there?!" Ji Yaohua looked at the ice block, exclaiming in astonishment.
Xi Qianxue explained to the two of them, "We captured a green-skinned monster."
"What!"
"What!"
Both Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze’s eyes widened in shock, looking at the two of them.
"Goodness! We were being chased all over by those monsters, and even encountered skeleton monsters and skeleton soldiers along the way, it was utterly chaotic. We only took a brief rest after returning here. And you two managed to catch the monster leader silently! Did I hear that right?" Ji Yaohua exclaimed in disbelief.
Xi Qianxue shook her head and pointed to the large ice block, "It’s sealed inside." Then she relayed Mu Qingge’s hypothesis to the two in detail.
"...So, Qingge thinks that to save Wei Molili, we need to start with this commander. Perhaps something on it can detoxify the poison in Wei Molili’s body," said Xi Qianxue.
