Pei Zi's words undoubtedly gave everyone a great boost. After all, what he said was true; there were only three Flamethrowers, and one had already been used. Having walked for so long without any clues made people wonder what could possibly be above them.
Only by standing high can one see far. We were currently in a passive trend, and continuing to walk aimlessly was not a solution. Although the destructive power of explosives was significant, we could only pray that the explosion site did not contain anything important.
In short, if we don't explode, we are trapped; if we do explode, there is still a glimmer of hope!
After some voting, everyone ultimately chose to detonate the explosives, but...
"How can we ensure our safety?" Yuguo initially opposed the explosion. He argued that it could not only destroy important clues but also potentially bury us alive. However, since everyone else agreed, he eventually relented.
"We can't guarantee complete safety, so we need to go back quite a distance!" Xianxian said shamelessly.
Pei Zi seemed to support Xianxian and laughed as he said to us, "Let's listen to Immortal Brother. When it comes to blasting things, I doubt we can be of much help, so can we leave it to you?"
"Absolutely fine!" Xianxian made a gesture and proudly said, "Although my Wang Yi seems a bit foolish, when it comes to doing things, I trust him completely." After saying that, he waved at Wang Yi, signaling him to take action.
Looking at Wang Yi's silly grin, I couldn't help but ask Xianxian, "Are you praising him or making fun of him?"
Xianxian raised an eyebrow and replied in confusion, "This Lord is naturally praising him! What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
"I spit!" I scoffed at him disdainfully and said, "I really can't see how you're praising him. But whatever, you've done plenty of shameless things yourself!"
"What did you say!" Xianxian jumped up again and shouted angrily, "You better clarify what you mean by saying I've done plenty of shameless things! When have I ever said anything shameless or done anything shameless?"
Seeing his angry expression, I couldn't help but laugh, feeling that the previous frustration had dissipated significantly. Indeed, I finally understood why Xianxian enjoyed teasing others so much; it felt quite good and was a great way to relieve stress!
Hehehe...
Pei Zi, who was beside me, also couldn't help but laugh and quickly said, "Anyway, I think you all are pretty amazing! Especially you, Brother Feng!"
"Me?" I pointed at myself and smiled silently.
Pei Zi nodded, his dark pupils reflecting the light from the flashlight. He looked at me with admiration and said, "Although I admire all three of you, you are the one who astonishes me the most. I didn't expect your progress in such a short time to be much faster than I imagined. You're completely different from the Feng Zi we first met!"
Before I could respond, Xianxian proudly raised her head and said, "That's for sure! You should see who brought him up!"
"Oh?" Pei Zi raised an eyebrow, unable to hide his amusement. I could tell that his laughter was genuine; perhaps he had already considered us friends?
"With that kid Lime around and This Lord's guidance, even a fool can be trained into a god-like man!" Xianxian said with a proud expression.
"You're just praising yourself!" I replied speechlessly.
Lime also seemed speechless and turned to leave without saying a word. We decided not to say anything more and followed him back.
Wang Yi had already set up the explosives and was now preparing a fuse with gunpowder and kerosene. We retreated far back; the amount of gunpowder we had was insufficient for a proper fuse, so Wang Yi only sprinkled gunpowder and oil at the front and back ends. In fact, there was nothing in between that we couldn't see.
This was also what Xianxian's gaze meant when she looked at me back then; I understood it now and had implemented it.
Yes, this demolition task still requires the people from the Spirit Department to complete it. Someone needs to run and ignite the blank ice block in the middle. However, others naturally do not need to know about these processes; they only need to know the result, as the process itself is not that important.
I don't know how long we retreated, until Wang Yi said, "The explosives are gone." Only then did we stop.
Watching the line of explosives ignited on the ice, emitting a "puff puff" sound, it burned forward at a steady speed like the wind. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, which also carried a sense of danger.
"We should retreat a bit more; this is ice, and it's very likely that one step could lead to all of us falling!" Yuguo said, still feeling uneasy.
"I think so too," Wang Yi replied with a worried expression. Clearly, he was reminded of how unexpected the explosion had been back then.
We continued to retreat, even though the light from the burning explosives was no longer visible, no one stopped.
I don't know how much time passed; it could have been quick or slow. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and at that moment, not only did the ground shake beneath our feet, but everything around us trembled violently as well. It felt as if the world was coming to an end.
The ground was entirely ice; walking was already difficult, and now with this movement, we stumbled and fell all over the place, unable to stand firm.
The deafening roar continued in our ears, accompanied by the sounds of collapsing and shaking that seemed very close, almost as if we would be buried alive at any moment.
"Run!" That was Lime's voice. Everyone knew they had to listen to Lime! Master Qing rarely spoke up, so when he did, it had to be taken seriously—not just because his words carried great authority but also because his experience was likely the most extensive! So listening to him was definitely the right choice!
Due to the intense shaking around us, I could even hear the sound of ice cracking. Without thinking too much about it, like everyone else, I crawled desperately forward. It was ridiculous; I certainly didn't want to be crushed alive here!
This chaos was simply a consequence that had to be borne when using explosives!
Choosing this method again, haven't we already guessed that this would be the result? However, this time the explosion seems to have been more serious! Before I could ask, Xianxian turned to Wang Yi and asked, "How could it collapse so severely? How much did you use?"
"Master Xian, after the last lesson, I really didn't use much this time!" Wang Yi said, sounding innocent yet firm. "I had already considered various factors and only used a little. You all should have seen it at the time; it shouldn't have turned out like this. What went wrong?"
What went wrong? Not only could Wang Yi not figure it out, but I also couldn't understand. Indeed, when I left last time, I took a look at the amount of explosives, and it was certainly not much—enough to create an explosion of one or two hundred meters would be good! But now, it seemed to have exceeded three or four hundred meters... and still counting!
What was the reason for this chaos? Why was the explosion so severe this time!?
This question lingered for only a few moments because cracks had already appeared on the ice blocks around us!
Even without looking, I could clearly feel that many fissures suddenly appeared on the icy surface! Sure enough, was there no escaping the fate of being buried? I thought as stones began to fall from above.
Suddenly, screams erupted from all around.
I let out a muffled groan as something heavy struck my back. I quickly stopped moving, protected my head, and pressed against the "corner." Ice blocks were crashing down without restraint; I curled up my body and didn’t care how much it hurt as I focused solely on how to escape this situation.
Fortunately, although the falling ice blocks were scattered and chaotic, they were relatively large. So I managed to hide between the gaps of the ice blocks without being crushed.
The collapse seemed to last a long time. As I watched cracks appear on the large ice block above me, my heart raced. If more ice continued to fall like this, that block would eventually shatter under the weight! At that point, I would be right below it with no way out as all sides were blocked by ice!
Just as I was thinking about this, another heavy object fell from above. With a loud crack, I clearly saw that the cracks on the ice above me deepened further!
What should I do now?
Closing my eyes, I forced myself not to look at the ice block that had already developed cracks, and instead began searching for something useful in The Dead. After searching high and low, I realized there was nothing that could help me with my current predicament.
It made sense, after all; the space I could move in was extremely limited. Even if I found something useful, I wouldn't be able to place it where it was needed!
Finally, the vibrations stopped. Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I heard a series of cracking sounds coming from above me.
“—!” Before I could finish my thought, the ice on me suddenly collapsed entirely, feeling like a thousand pounds pressing down, making it hard for me to breathe. Before I could think further, I felt several impacts on my head, and then… there was nothing after that…
……
When I woke up, everything around me was pitch black. However, I quickly realized that there were no ice blocks surrounding me. Could it be that it was just a dream? As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I wanted to refute it; after all, it felt too real—so real that I couldn't believe it was a dream! Just as I was about to stand up, a sudden wave of pain coursed through my body, especially in my back and arms—the areas that had been hit hardest by the ice.
“Fengfeng?” A voice suddenly called out from ahead in the darkness.
“It’s me!” I quickly replied.
“I know it's you; I just wondered what you were looking at,” Xianxian's tone seemed somewhat off. Although I felt anxious inside, I still asked, “Where are you?”
“I’m right in front of you! Could it be that you…” Xianxian's tone suddenly turned surprised.
A bad premonition washed over me. Right in front of me? Why couldn’t I see? Could it be? Could it be that I'm blind? As soon as this thought emerged, I felt completely lost…
