I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

The woman frowned and asked, "What exactly do they want these things for?"

The doctor gave a meaningful smile: "Hehe, the higher-ups naturally have their reasons."

The woman paused for a moment, then asked, "What should I do next?"

The Doctor put away the crystal and said, "Next, you can go to Liyue and take a look. I've been feeling that something's off with that kid, Young Master. I think you can go and see what he's been up to lately."

"Of course, if you want, you can also go back up the snow mountain to see the show, if the show has started."

The woman paused for a moment, then asked, "What's the show?"

"hehe."

The doctor gave a cold laugh.

"The chaotic space of this snow-capped mountain is not just due to the transmission of dense fog."

Chapter 349 Visitor from the Abyss

"What is this? Watch out!"

"Get out of the way!"

Inside the underground palace, in the main hall, the work site where the stone tablet was being studied erupted into screams and commotion.

Upon hearing the sound, Ivan rushed into the crowd from a distance, followed closely by Abedo, who had just been talking to Ivan.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Let me through!"

Ivan pushed through the crowd and walked toward the center.

However, after taking only a few steps, Ivan suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, a coldness several times colder than the snow mountain itself. Even wrapped in a coat, Ivan's body still instinctively shivered.

"what is this?"

As soon as he parted the crowd, Ivan saw a blue crystal cube about the size of a soccer ball floating in mid-air, slowly rotating in the open space in the middle of the crowd. The bone-chilling cold was coming from this thing.

Abedo exclaimed in surprise, "It's so cold... What is this?"

Ivan stared at the strange thing in front of him without saying a word. At this moment, the others who had heard the commotion also arrived.

"I just heard some noise up here, what happened?"

Qin glanced at the crowd and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

The staff members shook their heads sparsely: "It's nothing..."

Xiang Feng and Mu Ze Changhui ran in front of Ivan and shielded him behind them.

"Commander Ivan, are you alright?"

At this moment, Ivan's attention was completely focused on the strange cube in front of him. He seemed to be frozen in place, almost ignoring what the others were saying.

Xu Donghai frowned as he looked at the football-sized cube in front of him: "What is this thing? Where did it come from?"

One of the staff members replied, "We were just cleaning the altar and the stone tablets here according to Elder Li's instructions when this thing suddenly appeared in the middle..."

At this point, the blue crystal cube that resembled a Rubik's Cube, located in the middle of the crowd, suddenly began to show signs of expansion.

Just then, Ivan realized something and immediately shouted, "Everyone scatter! Quickly!"

Ivan's shout startled everyone, and without hesitation, they all turned and retreated.

At this moment, the blue crystal Rubik's Cube in front of us, which was originally only the size of a football, began to expand rapidly. In just a few breaths, it grew to the size of a square table and was still growing.

Ivan and the others had already retreated to a safe distance. Looking at the ever-expanding blue crystal cube, Muzawa Nagahiro exclaimed in shock, "What on earth is this thing?"

Ivan said in a deep voice, "This is the Ice of No Form..."

Kizawa Nagahiro was taken aback: "The Ice Without Form?"

"Xiang Feng!"

"exist!"

Ivan shouted, "Get all staff out of the dungeon, quickly! And notify the combat personnel at the same time."

"Yes!"

As they were talking, the Ice Elemental in front of them had already reached the size of a car. Its cube-shaped body continuously swirled up ice elemental energy from the air, spreading it outwards. This ice elemental energy, mixed in with the air, scraped against everyone's faces like cold ice blades, causing a stinging pain. Moreover, this violent ice elemental energy continued to intensify as the Ice Elemental expanded in size. In just a few seconds, it actually formed a strong blizzard.

Caught in the storm, Ivan pulled up his coat to shield himself from the biting wind and shouted, "Come on, let's all get up here!"

Qin cried out, "But what about those stone tablets..."

"Don't worry about those stone tablets. The underground palace has been searched. There are no other documents or records besides those stone tablets. The text on those stone tablets has already been photographed and rubbed, so the information won't be lost. Besides, those stone tablets are made of the same black flint as the main material of the underground palace, so they might not be damaged."

As Ivan spoke, he led the group out of the underground palace through the elevator.

Upon reaching the surface, Xiang Feng had already led his combat personnel to the excavation pit. Seeing Ivan and the others emerge, he immediately went to help and asked, "Commander Ivan, are you alright?"

"fine."

Ivan shook his head, then said to Xiang Feng, "Immediately seal off the entrance to the underground palace; no one is allowed to enter."

"understand!"

Everyone was still somewhat shaken, and Qin immediately asked, "Ivan, what did you just say was that? The Ice of No Form?"

"Yes. The Ice of No Form is also a type of monster, but compared to ordinary monsters, it is formed by the mutation and condensation of purer ice elemental power."

Xu Donghai frowned and asked, "How did this thing suddenly appear here?"

Ivan's expression was grave.

"I'm not sure either, but don't you guys find these blizzards it causes familiar?"

Abedo frowned slightly: "The blizzard in the Starlight Cave..."

Everyone was taken aback. Ivan nodded: "I'm afraid it was caused by the blizzard that trapped the action team and the missing team in the Starlight Cave. Because I just saw the same illusion on it that I saw on that mutated liar flower, and it was even stronger... This thing should also come from the Abyss."

Abyssal creature!

The person is not good!

Everyone's hearts sank.

Ivan reminded everyone, "Now is not the time to discuss how it appeared here or why it is here. At this rate of expansion, it will probably collapse the entire underground palace in no time. We need to deal with this threat before we can prevent any worse situations from occurring."

Ningguang went straight to the point: "How do we deal with this thing?"

Ivan pondered the characteristics of the Ice of No Form from his memory and said, "This thing is incredibly hard on the outside, even harder than the black flint that built this dungeon. Almost no damage will affect its outer body. Even if flames burn its outer body, it will quickly absorb ice elements from the air to reinforce it. Moreover, its outer shell can transform into the shape of ice cones to launch a fatal attack on any enemy in the surrounding area."

Xu Donghai frowned and asked, "Is there no way to deal with this thing?"

Ivan shook his head and said, "No, it has a fatal weakness. All its power comes from the core crystal sandwiched between its outer shell. As long as we can attack its core crystal, we can damage or kill it. When its outer shell transforms into an ice cone, there is a certain chance that the core crystal will be exposed. We need something as bait to lure it to expose its core crystal."

At this point, everyone suddenly felt the ground begin to tremble.

Ivan's expression changed.

Because they were inside the excavation pit, their feet were naturally on the top brick ceiling of the underground palace.

"Run! The underground palace is about to collapse!"

As Ivan finished speaking, a loud boom erupted, and a bulge suddenly appeared in the center of the underground palace. The next second, countless black firestone bricks shot out...

Chapter 350 Team Battle Boss

As a bulge rose in the middle of the underground palace, countless black flint brick fragments flew out the next second.

The top floor of the underground palace collapsed with a loud crash.

Thanks to Ivan's earlier warning, the group managed to evacuate the excavation pit in time, thus avoiding being swept away by the collapse of the underground palace.

"By the Wind God, what is this thing?"

As the underground palace's strata collapsed, people on the surface saw the thing that had caused the palace to collapse—the square ridge of the Ice of No Form.

If this thing has a spine.

The next second, the formless ice, its body expanding to tens of meters in size, slowly floated out of the underground palace.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

The same applies to Ivan.

The Ice Hypostasis in the game is only about one or two people tall, but this thing is obviously much larger than the Ice Hypostasis in the original game.

Whether it's a discrepancy between reality and the game, or a mutation caused by its origin in the abyss, it's too late to delve into these questions now.

As the Ice of No Form burst out of the underground palace, a massive blizzard swept across the entire snow-capped mountain peak.

"Evacuate the crowd!"

Ivan and the others, who were closest to the excavation pit, retreated while directing the evacuation of personnel.

Amidst the raging wind, Ivan grabbed Xiang Feng's arm and roared against the wind, "Find a way to lure it into attacking, make it reveal a weakness, and then attack its core!"

"understand!"

After seeing Ivan off, Xiang Feng turned and shouted, "One team, flank south and draw the monster's attention!"

"Yes!"

The first team, mainly composed of Chinese Marines, is more proficient in using firearms than the second team, which is composed of Knights of Favonius soldiers, and the third team, which is a mix of Knights of Favonius soldiers and Liyue Thousand Rock Army soldiers. It is more appropriate to assign the task of drawing fire from a distance to the soldiers of the first team.

Xiang Feng then looked at the second and third teams and said, "Spread out to both sides, and attack as soon as the monster exposes its core!"

At this moment, a team had already circled around from outside the excavation pit to the opposite side of the main force, that is, behind the Ice Hypostasis. Then, the dozens of assault rifles in the hands of the team members immediately spewed out orange-red flames.

Gunfire erupted atop the snow-capped mountain.

The metal bullets rained down on the tens-of-meters-tall body of the Ice Elemental, striking it like a steel plate, instantly sending up dense sparks.

This thing is indeed hard.

Bullets hitting steel plates at least leave some traces of kinetic impact and charring caused by frictional heat, but bullets hitting the surface of the Ice Hypostasis's body don't even leave a scratch.

However, the team members didn't care. Bullets continued to rain down on the Ice Hypostasis like a fine drizzle, and they would immediately reload after emptying a magazine. It would be best to damage the Ice Hypostasis, but if not, it didn't matter. After all, their mission was to do everything they could to attract the attention of this cube-like monster.

Sure enough, as wave after wave of bullets rained down, the massive body of the Ice Elemental finally reacted.
