Chapter 157 Old man Deng, how dare you harm me?

Jiang Nanxi looked closely and noticed that the dead man's hand was covered with a thin layer of white frost.

She thought for a moment, then reached out to pick up the dead hand from the ground, only to find that the dead hand was stuck in the ground.

Jiang Nanxi tugged at the dead man's hand, and felt a chilling coldness emanating from it.

"This dead man's hand is so cold and stiff, like it's been frozen in an icy place for a long time. But it's not cold inside the Ailao Mountains, so how could this hand be frozen like this?"

Sudden.

She heard a crisp click.

The dead man's arm was severed!

Jiang Nanxi also heard a "thump" from underground, as if something had hit the ground.

"Ah! Help!"

Lu Jiaqi's scream suddenly rang out.

Jiang Nanxi turned her head and saw a large hole in the ground where Lu Jiaqi was. Lu Jiaqi had fallen in, and wisps of white, cold mist were drifting out of the hole.

"Lu Jiaqi!"

Jiang Nanxi was about to go over to check on him when she felt the ground beneath her feet suddenly go hollow.

A chilling aura swept over her, making her shiver, and then she heard several more sounds of things falling.

"Help!"

"It's so cold! Where am I?!"

Jiang Nanxi, holding the rooster in her arms, also fell into the hole and heard her teammates' voices.

His teammates also fell down.

The underground cave is very deep and has a large area.

Liu Qingyan was the first to fall, and then caught Lu Jiaqi and Song Shixing below, otherwise the two of them would have been injured.

Jiang Nanxi took out a flashlight and illuminated the surrounding environment. She saw that the cave was covered with frost, like a world of ice and snow.

At Jiang Nanxi's feet were several frozen corpses, all wearing uniforms and looking like members of an expedition team.

One of the bodies had lost an arm.

Upon seeing the corpses, Song Shixing's expression changed slightly. "Did they...did they fall in here and freeze to death?"

After Song Shixing finished speaking, his teeth chattered incessantly, and a thin layer of frost quickly covered his body.

Seeing that he and Lu Jiaqi were about to be frozen into ice blocks, Jiang Nanxi quickly raised her hand and waved a spiritual energy shield, covering them both inside.

It was warm inside the spiritual energy shield, and the two of them gradually returned to normal body temperature.

Song Shixing said with lingering fear, "Isn't the Ailao Mountains in the south? How can there be such a cold place underground! The temperature is colder than the Arctic; a person would freeze to death in just a few seconds!"

Jiang Nanxi said, "There is a tomb underground."

"What? Another grave?"

Song Shixing exclaimed in shock, "Since ancient times, there have been few people in the Ailao Mountains, and there are many strange legends about them. Who would dig up a grave here? Aren't they afraid of something bad happening?"

Jiang Nanxi frowned and pondered for a long time. "This tomb... is very strange. It doesn't seem to be a conventional mausoleum."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Qingyan suddenly spoke up, "There are primitive tribes in the Ailao Mountains, so there are tombs. These tombs are not only used for burial, but also serve as a formation. However, a long time has passed, and they have long been abandoned."

Jiang Nanxi glanced at the frost in the cave and said, "The situation in this cave is abnormal. It's obvious that the formation has been restarted."

"good."

Liu Qingyan raised his hand and waved it, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed from his hand, instantly melting all the frost in the cave.

But it was still very cold inside the cave, and they could hear a gurgling sound of water flowing. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a spring about the size of a well opening, with water gurgling continuously and emitting bursts of extremely cold air.

"Ice Spring Formation".

Liu Qingyan explained, "This kind of formation can turn any place into an extremely cold place. It is generally used to preserve corpses in tombs, and can keep the corpses from decaying for thousands of years. It functions like a modern freezer."

Song Shixing looked around. "Whose body is this formation used to preserve? Apart from the bodies of the researchers, there are no other bodies here. They look like they accidentally fell in, probably in the same situation as us."

Jiang Nanxi sneered and said, "This wasn't an accident; someone deliberately wanted us to fall in."

"what?"

Seeing their puzzled looks, Jiang Nanxi pointed to the top of the cave, "There's a mechanism up there. If no one activates it, we won't fall down at all."

Upon hearing this, Song Shixing's face turned somewhat unpleasant.

They came to this place to look for Song Wanwan, but instead of finding her, they fell into this ice cave and almost lost their lives.

Could it be related to Song Wanwan?

Just as this thought came to mind, Lu Jiaqi's voice came, "The top is blocked, but there's an opening over there. Can we leave from here?"

Following his gaze, everyone discovered that the cave had a two-meter-high opening from which they could leave.

The opening was blocked by a thick layer of ice, so they didn't see it.

Jiang Nanxi was about to go over and take a look when she heard a familiar voice coming from the dark passageway in the distance.

"Master Yu, Mr. Cheng has already had them lured over. Those people are probably frozen to death by now."

That's Johnson's voice.

Immediately, an aged voice replied, "We had already taken down six dead people, and with these four, we finally have ten."

"Then let's quickly set up the Three Powers Feng Shui Formation in the tomb. The Cheng family has been preparing for this for many years, and we finally found a suitable location!"

The old man sneered, "This formation defies fate and can change the destiny of the entire clan's descendants. It's not so easy to set up! If these ten people aren't enough, more will need to be sacrificed!"

Johnson said, "Let's see if ten people are enough. If not, Mr. Cheng will find a way. Isn't there a primitive tribe in the Ailao Mountains? There are plenty of people there!"

The old man suddenly stopped, his voice filled with doubt, "Huh, why has all the frost in this ice spring formation disappeared?"

Johnson suddenly looked into the cave.

He saw the bodies of the explorers lying beside the ice spring; there were no other bodies.

Johnson's pupils contracted slightly. "Where are they? There are only the bodies of the explorers. Where are the Chinese team members? I saw them fall!"

"Could there be a problem with the formation?"

The old man's expression froze, and he quickly walked into the cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, before he could even check the formation, an unfamiliar presence appeared behind him.

"Who?!"

The old man turned around and saw Jiang Nanxi suddenly appear. His expression changed drastically. "You...you fell into the ice spring formation, how are you still alive!"

"You old bastard, you dare to harm me?"

Jiang Nanxi raised her leg and kicked the old man called Master Yu directly into the ice spring.

"what!"

The old man screamed and quickly used his spiritual power to protect himself from being frozen into a block of ice by the icy spring.

He struggled in the narrow spring, trying to get out of the icy spring, but Jiang Nanxi stepped on his head and pushed him back into the spring.

"Let... glug glug... let go, let me... let me out..."

The old man was a cultivator; he was fine when he first fell into the icy spring, but things might change if he stayed there for a while.

Jiang Nanxi, stepping on the old man's head, looked leisurely at Johnson at the cave entrance. "Boxing King, weren't you supposed to be collecting our corpses? Why aren't you coming in?"
