From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 362 Crystal Veins
Outside, the temperature was extremely cold, almost minus 100 degrees Celsius, and in this place, if we had to say it, it was probably minus 200 to 300 degrees Celsius, so that the rippling blue water on the ground was frozen.

However, Leng Xiyao could not feel the cold. Tian Meng, on the other hand, seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the low temperature environment because he had stayed in the mainland for too long. He shivered violently a few times, and then used his soul power to form a protective shield to block some of the cold.

Bingdi had long disappeared, as if he knew Tianmeng knew the way, so he didn't wait for them.

Tian Meng invited Leng Xiyao to walk into the cave while explaining, "This is the core of the entire Far North. It can be said that the entire Far North was created because of this place. If not, the Far North would never be so cold."

"Snow Queen is a creature born from this world, so she can come and go here at will. Here, it is normal to want to mobilize the core source power to improve her strength, but she has never done so. The few times she did so were to train outstanding juniors, such as me and Ice Queen."

"Otherwise, the Snow Emperor would have already become a quasi-divine beast a hundred thousand years ago."

"So that's how it is." Leng Xiyao felt a little emotional. If she were sitting on such a precious land, even if she was afraid of the tribulation and dared not absorb it too quickly, she would directly support a group of her own confidants.

But Xue Di obviously didn't think so. She knew very well that supporting a family of her own was contrary to her own ideals. What the Far North needed was a guardian, not an emperor.

The tunnel is not long, and after walking for a while the view in front of you suddenly becomes clear.

This is a hall filled with golden crystals. It is so vast that one can't see the end of it at a glance.

The quality of each crystal here is far superior to any mineral Leng Xiyao has seen before, even including the ten thousand year old cold marrow that Tian Meng was holding and chewing. It can even be said that it is dozens of times stronger than the ten thousand year old cold marrow.

Now Leng Xiyao finally understood why Xue Di was not amazed but only sighed when Tian Meng’s strength reached a million years. Because if you are not afraid of the heavenly tribulation, it is really easy to become a million-year-old beast here.

The Ice Emperor had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw the man and the beast coming, he said, "You are finally here. I thought you couldn't stand the cold here and were frozen into ice."

"Hmph, you underestimate your brother Tianmeng too much. Sooner or later, I'll let you know how powerful I am. Hurry up and lead the way." Tianmeng was not polite at all and directly retorted back.

Bingdi was not annoyed, and was still somewhat happy in his heart. Apparently, this was the way the two of them had been getting along for a long time, and they would say a few words to each other from time to time.

However, there was no expression on her face. She snorted coldly and walked in front to lead the way.

Leng Xiyao originally wanted to pick up a piece of crystal ore from the surrounding area to identify its grade, but the Ice Emperor was moving very fast and ran a long way away in a blink of an eye. She could only put this idea aside and stepped on her flying sword to follow.

Tian Meng followed Bing Di closely and whispered to her. Leng Xiyao didn't want to get too close, so she looked around the hall.

Leng Xiyao was unable to measure the diameter of this hall, but the walls around the exit of the passage they entered were curved, which meant that the overall shape of the hole was like an irregular circle.

Such a huge space would probably be enough to accommodate hundreds or even millions of people even if it was transformed into an underground city.

The materials of the walls and the ground here are extremely hard. They don't look like some kind of rock, but a kind of metal with a cold glow. Leng Xiyao tested it with kinetic energy impact, but it didn't leave even a tiny trace.

There are many metals in Douluo Continent that can block Leng Xiyao's kinetic energy impact without being damaged at all. At least many level nine minerals can do this, and even higher quality level eight metals can achieve this.

But you have to know that the output of level eight and level nine minerals is very scarce. Basically, they can only be supplied to Title Douluo to make weapons and equipment. Often, a whole high-level mineral vein can produce a small piece of level nine minerals. And here, the entire wall and floor are made of such a hard material. What does this mean? Leng Xiyao dared not even think about it.

On the other hand, the top of the cave is made of hard ice. Above it should be the lake that was previously on the ground. However, this layer of ice is very thick, not much different from rock, and no sunlight can penetrate at all. The light in the cave is emitted by those golden crystals. Therefore, Leng Xiyao cannot infer how many meters this cave is from the ground.

But overall, the ice on top is really of no value. It is just a slightly higher-grade material and does not contain any energy. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be out of tune with the walls and floor below. It seems that after the cave was formed, because the thing in the cave was too cold, it froze directly before the lake water fell, thus forming this cave.

Thinking of this, Leng Xiyao had a rough guess - could this be a meteorite crater?
Generally speaking, meteorites, which fall from outer space, are extremely hot, so it is not surprising that they turn this far north land into a wasteland.

But after it fell, it did not change the topography of the Far North at all, even the huge lake did not change. It only left a cave under the lake, which exuded extreme coldness, turning the Far North, which might have been no different from the mainland, into such an ice and snow forbidden area.

Thinking of this, Leng Xiyao became even more curious about this "meteorite" and her flying speed increased a lot.

After flying for about ten minutes, Leng Xiyao finally saw the Snow Emperor and a heart floating in the air.

This heart is so huge, with a diameter of two hundred meters alone, that Xue Di looks as small as an ant underneath this heart.

The closer you get, the more terrifying the chill from the void becomes.

From time to time, a drop of golden liquid would drip from the heart and fall into the pond below - perhaps this was not a pond originally, but after so many years of accumulation, it formed this not-so-small pond.

The insect egg that Leng Xiyao had given her before had been placed in the middle of the lake by Xue Di. The surface of the egg was now dark blue, and she was standing on the shore, guiding the energy inside to inject it into the egg, as if improving the genes of the egg.

Seeing that Xue Di was so focused, the man and the two beasts stopped and watched from a distance.
