Just when Fade Chen entered the frozen lake and was fighting fiercely with the strange fish.

The movement here quickly spread in the silent ice and snow valley.

In a few directions not far from the ice lake, several people who were collecting the tokens all heard the movement, stopped what they were doing, and felt it.

Then, their faces changed drastically, and they rushed towards the ice lake.

"This breath, this chill, is probably the ten-thousand-year ice core."

"Someone found the ten-thousand-year ice core? Go!"

………

Half an hour later, except for the beheaded Akabane, the other eight players all came to the shore of the frozen lake.

Looking at the huge ice lake, all eight contestants were surprised.

After experiencing it for a while, they also noticed the terrifying chill in the icy lake. Their complexions changed, and they all thought of a word—the ten-thousand-year ice core.

For a moment, several people couldn't help but glanced at each other.

"The ten-thousand-year ice core is right here."

At this moment, everyone's eyes became hot. Even Xing Han, who said before that he wasn't very interested in rewards, couldn't help showing a little longing at the moment.

"The ten-thousand-year ice core is in the lake?"

"Then what happened to the battle just now? Someone came here early?" Luo Zijin scanned the surrounding people and asked.

Lu Huai looked at a few people and said, "It should be so."

"We have eight people here, only Akabane and Fade Chen are not here. That means that the one who fought here just now should be one of them, or both of them are there."

Just as Lu Huai finished speaking, Xing Han said, "It can't be Chiyu."

"Why?" Gu Xuanzhang asked aloud at this moment.

Xing Han said: "Because we met Chen Fei not long ago. He said that Chi Yu was beheaded by him."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

"How can it be?"

"Akabane was killed, that's impossible."

"It's absolutely impossible to be killed by that Fade Chen."

It was also rare for Xing Han to talk nonsense with them, and said, "Believe it or not."

"Since the ten-thousand-year ice core is very likely to be in the lake, I'll try it out."

While speaking, Xing Han jumped directly into the lake and began to swim towards the center of the lake.

After jumping into the lake, he added, "I don't have a token on me. If you want to take the opportunity to kill me and get the token, you'd better not think about it."

Seeing this, the others didn't say much.

After all, it is also a good choice for Xing Han, a rigid guy who does not know how to adapt, to explore the way and see the situation.

After Xing Han jumped into the lake, he immediately felt the abnormal coldness of the lake, and he quickly stimulated his vitality to resist the chill.

However, the closer Xing Han got to the center of the lake, the more intense the chill felt, and the more difficult it was for him to resist.

Finally, when he swam to a distance of about 500 meters, Xing Han turned back and climbed ashore. After taking a few pills, he immediately began to meditate and adjust his breath to get rid of the chill in his body.

Seeing this, several other contestants also came to the shore one after another, stretched out their hands, and felt the coldness of the lake.

Immediately, several contestants changed their expressions at the same time.

"This lake is even colder than expected."

"It's so cold, why doesn't the lake freeze?"

"It's so abnormally cold, which means that the ten-thousand-year ice core is in the lake."

………

After the discussion, Jiang Yuanpu seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes lit up, he looked towards the center of the lake, and flew straight into the air, flying towards the center of the lake.

Seeing this, the expressions of the other contestants changed, and they hurriedly shouted loudly.

"No, Jiang Yuanpu is about to take the lead."

"Jiang Yuanpu, you want to be alone."

"Stop it, the ten thousand year ice core belongs to everyone."

………

At this moment, they realized that it seemed difficult to swim directly because the lake water was too cold. But if you fly through the air, there is no such problem.

Jiang Yuanpu flew directly to the center of the lake and looked for the ten-thousand-year ice core, so the possibility increased a lot.

That's why these people were so excited, they jumped into the air one by one and chased them out.

Only Gu Qingxi, who seemed to be thinking of something, stood on the bank without moving.

At this time, Jiang Yuanpu who had just soared into the sky and flew over the lake. Suddenly, I felt that an invisible protective shield appeared on the top of my head, and I directly photographed him and fell into the water.

Immediately, Jiang Yuanpu looked messed up, and could only swim back in the icy lake.

The other players who came out in pursuit fell down one after another when they saw this, and did not continue to pursue.

When Jiang Yuanpu returned to the shore, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This ice lake is a bit weird!"

"The water in the lake is extremely cold, and there is a protective shield in the air to prevent it from flying."

"The weirder it is, the more it means that the ten-thousand-year ice core is most likely hidden in the ice lake."

………

Amidst the discussions, Gu Qingxi spoke out.

"If I'm not mistaken, this ice lake is a test for us."

"Whether it's the lake water of the ice lake or the invisible shield in the air, it's a test. It tests the strength of our vitality."

"If the vitality storage is not sufficient, it is impossible to get to the center of the ice lake, and naturally there will be no power to compete for the ten-thousand-year ice core."

"That's why these weird phenomena are deliberately arranged by my father and the others."

Hearing what Gu Qingxi said, the contestants on the scene suddenly realized, and nodded one by one.

"Miss Gu is right, it should be like this!"

"In order to test us, City Master Gu and the others have also taken great pains."

"Since it's an exam, let's try it!"

………

Many people nodded, eager to try.

However, at this moment, Lu Huai squinted his eyes and said, "Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Xuanzhang asked with a frown.

Lu Huai said: "Don't forget, someone has already arrived here before we arrived."

"If what Xing Han said just now is correct, that person just now is Fade Chen."

"But now, there is no one in the lake, and Fade Chen has disappeared. Tell me, where did he go?"

As soon as this remark came out, many people at the scene changed their faces.

Luo Zijin said in a deep voice: "Fade Chen should have entered the icy lake just now. Maybe the cold air invaded and died in the lake. Maybe he got out of the lake and went outside to get rid of the cold."

Luo Ziyu nodded and said, "It's very likely so."

Lu Huai then said: "We are now entering the lake to compete for the ten-thousand-year ice core. If Fade Chen suddenly breaks out and attacks us. At that time, we, who are in the eyes of consumption, may really meet in the lake. Unexpectedly, it will be troublesome.”

Hearing what Lu Huai said, almost all of them showed worried expressions on their faces.

Indeed, this could happen.

Gu Qingxi frowned, and said, "Lu Huai, what do you think we should do?"

Lu Huai smiled, and said: "Naturally, everyone will act together, find out Fade Chen first, and eliminate him. This will eliminate future troubles."

Hearing this, Gu Xuanzhang couldn't help frowning, his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something.

But Gu Qingxi on the side snorted coldly, and spoke first: "Lu Huai, even if Fade Chen is eliminated, we are the only ones left, and the worries of future troubles may not be eliminated."

"What does Miss Gu mean?" Lu Huai asked.

Gu Qingxi said coldly: "You said we can't trust Fade Chen, so can we trust each other?"

"If it enters the lake, how can we ensure that none of us will take the opportunity to attack others."

Gu Qingxi's words broke everyone's tacit understanding at once.

For a while, everyone looked at each other, their eyes flickered, and they became alert.

Lu Huai was silent for a moment, looked at Gu Qingxi and said, "Then according to Miss Gu's words, what should we do?"

Gu Qingxi snorted coldly, and said: "Since it is basically certain, the Wannian ice core is in the lake. And the Wannian ice core is the championship reward for this final."

"Then why not, let's decide the champion first. In the end, the champion goes to the lake and takes out the ten-thousand-year ice core immediately. Others are not allowed to make a move."

Hearing this, Lu Huai laughed, "Miss Gu has a good idea. However, after the champion is determined, how can Miss Gu guarantee that other people will not violate the agreement and make a sneak attack?"

"Besides, even if there is no surprise attack. After a big battle, we must be exhausted. At that time, whether we still have the energy to carry this icy lake and take out the ten-thousand-year ice core is still a problem!"

When Lu Huai said this, the times returned to the original point.

Since these people present are competitors, it is impossible to completely trust each other.

Once there is no trust, the so-called agreement will have no effect at all. Because no one can guarantee that the other party will abide by the agreement.

As a result, this fell into a closed loop, and things seemed unsolvable at once.

In this case, Xing Han, who had finished expelling the cold, frowned and stood up directly.

"Martial arts people, what they pay attention to is a person who goes forward bravely. What are you thinking about so much? Whoever wants the ten-thousand-year ice core, just go get it. Whoever wants to grab it, just do it. If you are strong enough, that thing is naturally yours. Don't let it , It’s useless to say anything.”

After finishing speaking, Xing Han didn't care, plunged into the lake again, circulated his vitality, and headed towards the center of the ice lake.

Seeing this, the other players glanced at each other, looking at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a moment.

And just as they hesitated, Xing Han had already swam five hundred meters away, surpassing the distance he traveled the first time, and headed for six hundred meters.

Seeing this, the other contestants on the shore suddenly became hot.

If they continue to delay and check each other, maybe Xing Han, the iron-headed boy, will take the lead and win the ten-thousand-year ice core.

Thinking of this, the other contestants couldn't sit still any longer. One by one, they stimulated their vitality, jumped into the lake, and began to swim vigorously.

Of course, they didn't dare to really go all out, and they had to spare some energy to guard against possible sneak attacks.

Just like that, all eight players poured into the water, one by one scrambling to swim towards the center of the lake.
