With the help of He Cheng and the others, the ice blocks on us were gradually cleared away.
Wang Yi and the others continued to shout around us, "Master Xian, Brother Feng, where are you? Can you hear us?"
"I'm here!" I shouted loudly again. At the same time, I also heard Xianxian's voice: "This Lord is here, hurry up and pull me up!"
"I have someone helping me, don't worry about me!" I shouted back. Although I couldn't see them, I knew they could hear me. After all, when this place collapsed, some ran fast while others ran slowly, but we weren't really that far apart.
"You kid are lucky; hurry up and send two people to help This Lord!" Xianxian's voice came from my right side. I smiled helplessly and asked those nearby, "Can you get through?"
"Yes, yes! This isn't solid ice, so there are many gaps; we won't be stuck!" Guo Fan quickly replied. Then Yang Bin added, "Let's go with three of us; you can stay here with Brother He to help Feng."
After assigning tasks, it wasn't long before we were all rescued.
There were also people who had been knocked unconscious. Thanks to He Cheng and the other members of the Spirit Department, they were quickly found and rescued.
Flashlights were turned on simultaneously. Looking around at everything, I could hardly believe my eyes; everything had collapsed! Although I didn't know the exact extent of the collapse, at least where the flashlight shone was a vast expanse of broken ice blocks—some high, some low, varying in size—shattered beneath our feet and around us.
"My goodness! Is this... too powerful? The last explosion didn't have such a large range!" Black Bear exclaimed in shock as soon as he woke up.
Of course, he could shout loudly because his injuries weren't too severe.
The others weren't so lucky. Yuguo had been hit hardest and hadn't woken up yet; just surviving was already a blessing. Wuma You and Cold Snow had more serious injuries, while Big Dragon and Pei Zi were slightly better off.
As for Lime, he was even less affected; he always managed to react correctly in critical moments of danger, so his injuries were light—he just got trapped for a bit longer. But I believed that even without our help, it would only be a matter of time before he crawled out.
Once we stood together, the four of us exchanged glances, clearly confirming something.
"Should we find a place to discuss this further?" Xianxian asked with a half-smile, clearly in a very good mood!
"No need, it's time to go," Lime decisively rejected.
"Hey, hey..." Xianxian immediately protested, looking both aggrieved and dissatisfied. "Can't we talk a little longer? By the way, it seems like your story isn't finished yet, right? Leaving us hanging like this is really frustrating, isn't it?"
"That is indeed a bit true," I nodded thoughtfully, then smiled. "However, I believe that Lime will eventually clarify everything for us, right? Just after we go out?"
Lime nodded and then spoke again, "I will tell you."
"Good, a teachable child indeed! This trip of mine was not in vain; the hardships were worth it!" Xianxian pretended to say dramatically, but I knew he was actually overjoyed inside. This trip not only wasn't wasted but was also incredibly rewarding! There had never been such a significant gain before; not only could we collaborate with the Azure Dragon, but we also heard Lime reveal his long-hidden secret!
Immortal Body!
Just thinking about it made my blood boil. However, we could also see that Lime was very troubled by this matter, even harboring a deep-seated aversion and hatred towards it. Although I had never experienced it personally, I could empathize with his feelings. It was like what I had said to Sudai at the beginning: watching one's family and friends disappear while still existing alone through generations. Looking around at strangers with no true companions, no family, no friends—no one who understands or accompanies you—was that really okay? Was that really interesting?
No! Not at all! Not interesting at all!
Just look at Lime; I used to wonder why he had become so silent and indifferent, so detached and seemingly seeing through everything. It turned out… who could have imagined such things?
However, seeing that everyone around us had tactfully moved elsewhere, I finally asked Lime, "That so-called Divine Sign can't really grant Eternal Life, can it? Like you?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Xianxian and Pei Zi also stared at him intently, waiting for Lime's explanation. I had thought that immortality was merely a legend, but Lime's background made me realize that Eternal Life truly exists in this world!
A trace of sadness and deep regret crossed Lime's calm eyes. "I don't know; it's all my fault..." Lime didn't finish his sentence, but I could clearly feel his inner pain and remorse at that moment.
He let out a bitter smile, looked at us, and slightly curled his lips as he said, "In this life meeting you all, I can feel that all grievances will be resolved."
"It will," Pei Zi suddenly spoke up. "Although I haven't returned yet, I believe the Azure Dragon will do its utmost to help you. Don't worry about those two organizations; just go for it!" Pei Zi's tone was neither exaggerated nor overly confident, but listening to him gave me a sense of reassurance. If the Azure Dragon truly stood on the side of justice, then I believed they would choose to cooperate with us!
Of course, there was no longer any doubt about whether the Azure Dragon was on the side of justice. In the Tomb Raiding World, its reputation was still very good. Such a powerful entity that even that mysterious old diviner spoke of unity! No matter how great an individual's power is, there will always come a time when it runs out. As long as we have allies and unite together, I believe no difficulty can overwhelm us!
"Your people..."
Xianxian spoke first, and Pei Zi smiled, "Yes, they are all from the organization, so you can trust them."
"OK." I gestured with my hand and then took out enough food and water for a week in front of Pei Zi. Pei Zi raised an eyebrow, still wearing a sincere smile on his face, "With this in hand, we won't be afraid to go anywhere."
"That's right. If it weren't for this, we would have been in serious trouble long ago; there's no way we could be this relaxed." I chuckled lightly and glanced gratefully at Lime. With such good things given to me, how could I not trust him? Even if it meant giving my life for him, I wouldn't bat an eye.
"These..." Wang Yi took the backpack, opened it for a glance, and his eyes were filled with astonishment. "This can't be all our food, right?"
Inside were Compressed Biscuits and compressed beef, along with plenty of bottled water. It could sustain us for a week, and if we rationed it a bit, it could last even longer.
"Don't worry; we still have some here," I smiled.
Wang Yi remained astonished, and the others looked at us with similar hesitance. Some nervously spoke up, "You guys won't..."
Xianxian nodded and patted Wang Yi on the shoulder, advising, "You all stay here to take care of the injured. The four of us will handle the next leg of the journey." When mentioning the four people, I glanced at Lime, Xianxian, and Pei Zi.
"Boss?" Big Dragon was anxious. "I want to go too!"
"I want to go as well!" Cold Snow and Wang Yi spoke almost simultaneously.
Pei Zi raised his hand firmly, his expression leaving no room for argument. "No need to say more; we've already decided that it's just the four of us going. You all stay here."
"While having more people can be powerful, sometimes it can also be a hassle. Plus, we have help here; you should actually be more worried about your own safety," Xianxian added.
"But..." Wang Yi looked conflicted. However, seeing our determined expressions, he had no choice but to relent. Holding the bag in his hand with a serious look on his face, he said, "We don't need this much food; you should take more with you!" He started to divide some of it to give to us.
I quickly stopped Wang Yi's actions and said with a smile, "It's not like we're going for months; it's just a few days. We have enough food here. Besides, carrying too much would just be a burden; you should keep it."
With a helpless yet conflicted expression, Wang Yi finally sighed and said, "Just make sure you stay safe; we'll wait for you here!"
"Yes, that's best."
Pei Zi also explained a few things to the others, and only then did the four of us exchange glances and officially "set sail." The path ahead was not easy; it was more like climbing a mountain. The surrounding ice blocks varied in size, and occasionally stepping on one could cause it to crack. Therefore, we had to be particularly careful with every step to avoid suddenly collapsing, as that would not just be embarrassing but also painful for ourselves. Although the three people here seemed to have a higher tolerance for pain.
"By the way, where are we supposed to go?" As we walked, Xianxian suddenly spoke up.
After Xianxian asked, Pei Zi's eyes lit up as he said, "Actually, I've had a theory for a while."
"Hmm? What theory?" Xianxian quickly asked, and I curiously perked up my ears to listen to Pei Zi.
Pei Zi didn't stop walking; instead, he asked the three of us, "Have you heard of the Blood Dragon?"
"Blood Dragon? Is it one that sucks blood or one that spews blood? Or is it both?" Xianxian teased.
In response to Xianxian's "joke," Pei Zi could only smile helplessly and said, "This is a very old legend. Oh right, before I talk about the Blood Dragon, there's actually something I haven't told you." At this point, Pei Zi stopped and showed a hint of guilt on his face. "This matter is not allowed to be disclosed by the organization; we can't speak of it even in death."
"But I think after we cooperate, the elders will agree to tell you about this matter, so..."
"So you might as well give us a hint!" Xianxian said with sparkling eyes. This person had a strong curiosity for big secrets, so hearing Pei Zi say this made him excited.
Pei Zi looked at us with bright eyes and a serious tone: "Actually, the Azure Dragon has another identity." Under our eager gazes, Pei Zi proudly continued, "That is after the Demon Clan!"
