"Alarm! Alarm! Detecting intruder invasion!"

"Initiate Emergency Response Plan Number One!"

The sound of the alarm caused a sense of crisis to suddenly rise in Gu Shen's heart!

Although he had long known that behind this Bing Hai Yi Ji (Ice Sea Remains), a certain intelligent life must be hidden.

But Gu Shen hadn't expected it.

The means set up by this intelligent life would be activated from the very first second he broke through the snowfield wall!

"Clang!"

The alarm blared, and countless qi blades burst forth in the void!

The strangling power surged, and even with two domains overlapping, Gu Shen felt strained. Without hesitation, he began to retreat with Gu Xiaoman.

"Clang clang clang!"

Countless iron scales transformed into a wall, blocking Gu Shen's path.

The two retreated back to the snowfield.

The entire world instantly became quiet.

The alarm and the strangulation all disappeared the moment they retreated back to the snowfield!

Gu Shen retracted the iron scales, exhaling deeply, his expression quite uncertain. The restrictions behind the void wall of this Bing Hai Yi Ji (Ice Sea Remains) were indeed powerful.

The reason he retreated was not because he couldn't advance.

Although this strangling power was strong, if he used all his trump cards, he could continue forward.

But it was easy to advance, difficult to retreat.

The deeper he went, the less likely he would be able to turn back.

"Fortunately, this 'alarm' warned us quickly enough." Gu Xiaoman also breathed a sigh of relief, muttering, "If it had sounded when we were halfway there, it would have been too late."

"What exactly is at the depths of this snowfield?"

Gu Shen frowned.

According to his original guess, the red shadow they had encountered earlier was a creation of a certain intelligent life, and that intelligent life should reside in the depths of the snowfield.

So many years had passed.

The Bing Hai Yi Ji (Ice Sea Remains) had never surfaced.

If there truly was a surviving "intelligent life" here, it should have taken some action in the face of the extraordinary individuals from the Five Continents entering the snowfield...

But it hadn't.

The entire ruin was deathly silent.

He wasn't punished for "killing" the red shadow either.

Gu Shen quickly calmed down.

"Since there is a 'alarm' mechanism here, it means our previous guess was correct. Continuing deeper...we will see the true face of the Bing Hai Yi Ji (Ice Sea Remains)."

He was confident in exploring the ruin, but he couldn't grasp the direction.

"Are you worried...that after going deep, you won't be able to find the specific location of the Yi Ji (Remains)?"

Xiaoman saw through Gu Shen's thoughts at a glance.

She pursed her lips and said with courage, "I should...know."

"You know?"

Gu Shen raised an eyebrow, he did have an impression.

Xiaoman had been saying that she felt something was wrong deep within the ruin.

"Yes...I can feel that there is some power in the depths of this ruin calling to me."

Gu Xiaoman's expression was somewhat lost, but she didn't know what this meant, and couldn't even discern whether the call was good or bad. After pondering for a moment, she hesitated, "Gu Shen-ge, if you think it's risky...we can go back first."

"No..."

Gu Shen shook his head and pondered, "You feel that there is a power in the depths of this ruin calling to you? But why don't I feel a similar call?"

He had noticed that there was a problem with the snowfield ruin because of his powerful spirit and excellent insight.

It was because Gu Shen had found the wall at the edge of the snowfield!

"Ah..."

Gu Xiaoman scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly, "Maybe it's because...I was recognized by the 'Wine Seed'?"

In her opinion, this was the biggest reason.

She was chosen by the Fire Seed at the beginning of her awakening.

"..."

Gu Shen patted the little guy's head, his expression and posture meaningful.

Gu Xiaoman always felt that this head pat was a little unusual...

It could only be said that she was too young.

"If it's because of the identity of the 'Lord of Wine' that she is receiving the call of the ruin, it's not impossible." Gu Shen murmured in his heart, "The power of the Fire Seed level might cause the Yi Ji (Remains) to change...but why does Gu Xiaoman feel the call, but I don't? Could it be that the Yi Ji (Remains) doesn't recognize me as the Underworld King?"

After some thought, he still couldn't get an answer.

Gu Shen decided to try again.

"Xiaoman...when I step into the depths of the snowfield later, you will guide the way!"

Gu Shen squatted down, signaling Xiaoman to jump on his back, so as to reduce the space occupied by the two and facilitate domain deployment.

"Okay!"

Gu Xiaoman held her breath and concentrated.

"...Three, two, one!"

After Gu Shen counted down three numbers, he exerted force again, his body suddenly turning into a stream of light. This time, he didn't hold back at all, and directly smashed the invisible wall in the void of the snowfield.

Blazing Fire, release!

Pure Land, release!

A ghostly shadow of a Susu tree appeared above Gu Shen's head, with thousands of branches and leaves fluttering, fighting against the invisible strangling power!

For a time, leaves fell!

"Turn left fifteen degrees, four hundred meters, go straight three hundred meters, turn right forty-five degrees!"

Gu Xiaoman closed her eyes and fully sensed the call in her heart. She completely entrusted her life to Gu Shen... beside her ears were layers upon layers of dense, exploding strangling sounds.

The initial burst speed was extremely fast.

It soon slowed down.

The two domains were blocked by countless strangling forces, like being entangled by countless kite strings.

Gu Shen felt that every step was like being trapped in a swamp.

His expression was calm, and he began to disassemble the iron scales. With the blocking of countless iron pieces, his footsteps became lighter again.

"Turn left ten degrees."

"Turn right..."

This was a reciprocating process. Gu Shen continuously sacrificed his trump cards to fight against the constantly increasing strangling power. After the iron scales were unable to resist, he began to use the pushing force of the sixth-order source armor!

"Boom!"

Black flames burned, and he charged forward for another distance!

Gu Xiaoman suddenly opened her eyes.

"The last section, go straight one thousand meters...the 'end point' I sensed is at the end of the straight line!"

Gu Shen held his breath.

In this last straight road, in addition to the endless strangling power, he also felt the gravity he was bearing suddenly increase. High-gravity rooms are often set up in Bei Zhou (North Continent) source energy boats to provide training grounds for physical practitioners.

Those Bei Zhou (North Continent) people who have practiced physical skills since childhood are quite good at being able to withstand ten times the gravity!

Stronger fourth-ranks, such as Zhong Yuan, can act with a maximum of fifteen times the gravity when fully powered!

The investigation corps needs to go out of the fortress to carry out missions. Some Yi Ji (Remains) in the Jiu Shi Jie (Old World) have more than ten times the gravity, but the gravity Gu Shen is facing at this moment is not as simple as ten times or fifteen times...

Gu Shen felt that it was almost thirty times the gravity, smashing down on him!

His knees bent, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Ugh..."

The descent of thirty times the gravity happened in an instant!

At the moment when this powerful force descended, Gu Xiaoman's expression also became extremely pale.

Gu Shen quickly mobilized the resistance of the two domains, trying to cover Gu Xiaoman as much as possible. At this moment, the Susu tree phantom summoned by the Pure Land had become extremely dim!

"How is it, can you still hold on?"

Gu Shen turned his head to look at Xiaoman.

That pale little face was now full of stubbornness.

"The last section of the road, don't worry about me!"

Gu Xiaoman's voice was hoarse, almost squeezing out blood from her throat.

"...Okay!"

Gu Shen struggled to move forward with Xiaoman on his back, while silently calculating the distance.

At the last position of about six hundred meters.

Gu Shen's body began to emit a faint silver light!

The Ruler of Truth!

This was his last trump card!

The Ruler of Truth was activated, and a large amount of silver brilliance burst out in an instant, wrapping the two. The thirty times gravity and countless strangling forces disappeared briefly at this moment... Gu Shen rushed out nearly six hundred meters in an instant. He clenched the silver light and slashed down at the towering snow mountain at the end of the road in front of him!

The end of this road was a dead end!

After the fog dissipated, it was a thick mountain wall...

But Gu Shen firmly believed that Gu Xiaoman's feeling would not be wrong. What was in front of him was a mountain, so he would open the mountain!

"Boom!"

The snow mountain trembled.

The sound of machinery operating suddenly sounded.

Gu Shen's full-powered slash unexpectedly missed, and his pupils shrank, looking in disbelief at the snow mountain in front of him that suddenly "opened the door"!

He had successfully broken through just like that?!

……

……

The two fell somewhat embarrassedly.

The main reason was that the pressure they had been bearing along the way was too great, especially in the last section of the road. The thirty times gravity suddenly disappeared, and the prepared slash missed.

This feeling was like hitting a fly with a stick, but instead of hitting it, you lost your balance.

"Thump!"

Gu Xiaoman's little head hit an alloy wall, and her whole body was dizzy and starry-eyed.

Gu Shen was slightly better.

He supported himself on the ground with both hands and slowly stood up...

He never expected that the inside of the snow mountain would be such a narrow and delicate picture. It was actually an ancient alloy corridor, the walls of the corridor were like cast bronze, but the texture was extremely strong, and it had not rusted at all after hundreds of years of immersion under the ice sea.

"This..."

Gu Xiaoman gasped and rubbed her head. After recovering, she was also stunned.

"Is this the real scene of the Bing Hai Yi Ji (Ice Sea Remains)?"

She quickly turned her head to look at the direction she came from.

The so-called snow mountain was just an illusion. Standing in the bronze corridor and looking back, a heavy mechanical door was slowly closing, and outside was fluttering snow.

"I suddenly understand...why there is a so-called 'false wall'."

Gu Shen stretched out a hand and gently touched the mechanical door.

A familiar touch appeared.

The strangling power came from the point of contact.

He quickly retracted his hand.

This so-called restriction was actually caused by the Yi Ji's (Remains') wall changing color. The snow mountain and snowfield here were all fake.

This was not a disaster realm, but a truly built ruin building, but the builder's skills were too superb, making every stepper believe that this was a natural boundary...

This kind of creation can be called supernatural craftsmanship.

"There was a rumor that the Bing Hai Yi Ji (Ice Sea Remains) was something left over from ancient civilizations." Gu Xiaoman's expression became strange, "So it seems, this is true?"

"Yes..."

Gu Shen nodded solemnly.

"And that intelligent life's methods are more powerful than we imagined...much more powerful."

The end of this narrow bronze corridor emitted a dim fluorescence.

Gu Shen slowly moved forward and came to Gu Xiaoman's side.

The little guy hissed and stood up, shaking his head vigorously, trying to recover from the trance. Just as he was about to take a step forward, Gu Shen reached out and stopped him.

"Hide behind me."

Gu Shen's voice made her completely sober.

Gu Xiaoman raised her head.

The mechanical door at the end of the bronze corridor slowly opened.

A scarlet figure wearing bamboo armor stood with a knife in both hands.

(ps: Let me talk about the update time. These days, because there have been too many updates, it takes a lot of time to write the outline. I usually update one chapter in the morning, and spend the rest of the time getting the outline done before updating the main text. Starting from tomorrow, I will try to change the two chapters in the evening to one chapter in the afternoon and one chapter in the evening. In addition, there are three updates and 10,000-word updates these days. The extra updates will be settled according to the number of chapters per week. There will be an outbreak of updates next Monday. If you want five updates, please leave a message~)
