In the midst of the Mirage of the Darkya region in the snowy mountain ridge, the sky was always covered by a layer of grayish fog, and through the heavy snow that filled the sky, it was impossible to tell if it was day or night.

The power of life, however, far exceeded the expectations of humans. In such a desperate situation, not only were there green plants that were struggling to expand their roots, there were even animals such as small rabbits, or even huge bears.

However, these vicious snow wolves had today become the prey of others. Dozens of snow wolves as big as calves laid flat on the ground. Each of them had a sword in their forehead, and there were no wounds on their bodies.

"I really don't understand. Even though they know they can't beat them, these wolves still pounced on them one after another. Now that they have all died out, the two of us are extremely tired. "

As Xia Wu pulled the scarlet sword out of a snow wolf's forehead, he couldn't help but start to complain about the wolf pack that had suddenly attacked them.

Ye Zhifa was wiping away the blood on the sword with snow water. Hearing Xia Wu's words, he could not help but laugh and point at his waist.

"Junior Xia, if it wasn't for the fact that you insisted on not putting the roast meat in the Cosmos Sack and instead insisted on putting it on your belt, I don't think the wolves would be this crazy."

"The Heaven and Earth Pouch is filled with lilium radix. If you put the meat in, the taste of the meat might affect the lilium radix. "No way, no way. That would really be a huge loss …"

Hearing Xia Wu mumbling once again, Ye Zhifa smiled and shook his head, he sheathed his sword, and then tightened his bearskin coat, sighing as the weather became even colder.

Now, the image of Ye Zhifa and Xia Wu had changed quite a bit. The outermost layer of clothing had turned into the skin of a bear that they had hunted personally, and there was an even more resolute and decisive expression on their faces.

Four or five days had passed since they had entered the Mirage of the Darkya region. These few days, the two of them had joined hands to fight the enemy and continuously explored this snowy plain.

The weather here was cold, and they had to rely on inner strength to protect themselves from the cold at all times. The vast expanse of white earth was so vast that predators could rush out at any time.

Xia Wu had only broken through the eleventh level before he entered the illusionary world, but he had already made significant progress, so breaking through another level was just around the corner. Ye Zhifa's harvest was even more obvious, after many consecutive battles, he had already broken through another barrier of the spirit vein, and was now one step closer to the Realm of Spiritual Energy.

Other than that, Ye Zhifa's gains of not being able to tell others were even greater than that of the Sword Sovereign System. From the moment he had entered the illusion, his reputation points had not stopped increasing, and now, it had already reached a total of 257.

However, this reward made him happy and he was worried. In order to resolve Ye Zhifa's doubts, he had asked the system multiple times these past few days, but he had not received any useful replies. Now, he could only suppress his doubts deep within his heart.

"..." This wolf's corpse is still useless, the more I think about it, the more I'm at a disadvantage. " Xia Wu finally stopped and got down to business, "Senior Brother Ye, let's continue to look for Qing Han Tie. Have you seen that glacier?"

"I observed when the snow was still falling. We were a little off. The iceberg is now on our right."

In these few days, the two of them had found around ten lilium radix. They could be considered to have completed the task for ordinary people, but they did not find a single piece of Cyan Frost Iron.

The Cyan Frost Iron was not comparable to the lilium radix and had a unique origin. The two pondered for a while, and since they did not know how long they could stay in this illusion, they might as well use this rare opportunity to search for the Green Frost Iron.

Thus, yesterday, they specially climbed up a snowy mountain, and when they looked far into the distance, they were able to discover a rift that was split open on the ground.

After a long journey, they were not far from the iceberg. It would take them less than an hour to reach the rift.

However, when the two of them reached the edge of the rift, they came to a halt and retreated.

None of them were cowards. However, when they saw the crystal clear ice wall hundreds of feet below them, they couldn't help but doubt their own abilities.

"Brother Ye, if you fall down like this, will you die?"

"Since you're already here, why don't you give it a try? I'll go down first. Follow me carefully."

Ye Zhifa took a deep breath, then turned and climbed down the ice wall.

Without holding back, Ye Zhifa could only rely on his internal energy, using his bare hands to directly smash holes in the ice wall, and then using these holes to support his body as he slowly climbed down.

However, even though he had a strong physical body, his inner strength was not limitless. He only climbed down one third of the way and his inner strength would be exhausted. His movements would become slower and slower.

"Brother Ye, it's your turn."

"Alright!"

However, above his head, there was still a Xia Wu who was in a much better condition than him that could be exchanged. When Xia Wu climbed down, he could use the ice pit Ye Zhifa cut, but he did not use too much inner strength.

Since it was their turn, Ye Zhifa released his right hand, and created another hole in the ice wall. After that, he used one hand to cover the hole, relying on his right arm to support his entire body, and hung onto the ice wall.

The sound of wind howled through the valley as Ye Zhifa leaned against the ice wall. When the wind blew, it was actually like a pendulum floating in the air.

Facing such a situation, Ye Zhifa could only grip the ice wall tightly. Only when Xia Wu passed through his previous position and continued to climb downwards, did he hurriedly return to the ice road they had carved out.

"He's still too impudent. If I had used my hands to hold myself in place, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state."

After he lamented about the great power of heaven and earth, Ye Zhifa followed Xia Wu and continued to climb down.

After that, the two of them completed a few more shifts on the three hundred feet wall of ice before they finally arrived at the bottom of the rift.

When their feet stepped on the ground formed by the ice, the two of them felt their bodies go soft, and then they started laughing out loud.

After they finished laughing, the two of them looked for the Green Frost Iron at the bottom of the rift.

Perhaps it was because they had already worked hard enough to climb the ice wall, but the heavens did not make things difficult for them. The two of them only walked for a short while before they saw a few green stones buried under the layer of ice.

"There's no temperature to it. There's a metallic sound when it is knocked. That's right, this is the Cyan Coldsteel. "Senior Brother Ye, this amount is enough for each of us to make a sword."

After Xia Wu took out the ore from the ice layer, he used his hand to knock it for a while. After confirming that this was the Cyan Frost Steel that they were looking for, he excitedly reported to Ye Zhifa, only to find that Ye Zhifa did not respond to him.

He raised his head to look, and realized that Ye Zhifa's expression was grave as he looked at the ice surface erected beside him.

Xia Wu looked in the direction of Ye Zhifa's gaze, and only now did he see that there were actually countless sword-wielding human figures engraved on the ice.

This was a sword art left behind by a predecessor!
