Chapter 1320: Chapter 1319: Entering the Ice Flame Cave
Tan Xianglan also felt something was wrong, but the mouse was still below, and she didn’t dare to go down. In her struggle, she ended up rubbing against Chen Tianlong’s chest, which almost made Chen Tianlong lose his composure.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the stone gate surprisingly opened. The two of them were shocked and, ignoring the awkward situation, started to look toward the doorway.
It turned out that the mechanism for the stone gate was right where Chen Tianlong was standing. They simply didn’t have enough weight earlier, but when Tan Xianglan jumped onto Chen Tianlong, it reached the weight needed to trigger the mechanism, naturally opening the gate.
Unexpectedly, a mouse helped them out. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have known where to find the mechanism even if they searched to death.
"The door’s open, let’s go in." Chen Tianlong put Tan Xianglan down and then started walking toward the entrance. But Tan Xianglan was still afraid that the mouse might be nearby, so she held onto Chen Tianlong’s hand and wouldn’t let go.
Chen Tianlong chuckled helplessly, never having thought Tan Xianglan could be so kawaii. He held Tan Xianglan’s hand and started walking inside. Just as they entered the entrance, a wave of heat enveloped them, making it somewhat uncomfortable.
Their cheeks began to slowly sweat, as if they had entered a huge furnace.
"It’s so hot!"
Tan Xianglan seemed a bit nervous; she couldn’t stand it shortly after entering. But it’s no wonder, as girls generally fear the sun and heat due to their delicate skin, which resists external influences.
Chen Tianlong naturally understood, but there was nothing he could do upon reaching this point.
"Xianglan, bear with it a bit, let’s hurry through this room," Chen Tianlong said gently, treating her as he would his girlfriend, giving Tan Xianglan a fleeting sense of illusion.
"Mhm." Tan Xianglan nodded, and the two hurried forward.
However, as they took just a couple of steps, they suddenly noticed the rock pools beside them starting to churn violently. Ten rock pools in the room began bubbling, making the surrounding air extremely hot.
Most importantly, there was a gas lingering in the air that made one feel like they couldn’t breathe.
As Tan Xianglan was walking, she suddenly collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, Chen Tianlong noticed her face had turned pale and terribly unwell. He quickly shook her and asked, "Xianglan, what’s wrong with you?"
"Chen Tianlong, I feel like I can’t breathe. It’s so uncomfortable. Am I going to die?" Tan Xianglan’s voice was very weak, sincerely as if she was experiencing oxygen deprivation.
Chen Tianlong hurriedly scooped Tan Xianglan up and quickly ran to another entrance where there was an ice cave, with the entrance being just a ten-meter-long tunnel away.
However, when Chen Tianlong set Tan Xianglan down, he found her face had become even paler.
He saw Tan Xianglan take a difficult breath. She must have inhaled the gas emitted from magma earlier, which caused oxygen deficiency in her body, potentially becoming life-threatening if not replenished quickly.
Realizing this, Chen Tianlong, being a doctor, couldn’t possibly be unaware of these things.
After taking a deep breath, he directly placed his mouth close to Tan Xianglan’s lips and began performing artificial respiration. This was indeed artificial respiration, not an attempt by Chen Tianlong to take advantage; it was a situation of imminent life danger.
While doing these actions, Chen Tianlong didn’t overthink and skillfully assisted Tan Xianglan in breathing, constantly pressing between her chest and abdomen.
Two minutes later, Tan Xianglan suddenly gasped for air, breathing heavily and finally recovering.
However, at this time, her small face turned from pale to suddenly flush red.
Tan Xianglan was fully aware of the artificial respiration Chen Tianlong had just given her and could clearly feel it. But, at the time, she couldn’t breathe and was battling with the Death God, so she couldn’t be bothered to think about it too much.
"Feeling better?" Chen Tianlong found it perfectly normal, but Tan Xianglan was just too embarrassed.
She didn’t dare to look at Chen Tianlong, simply whispering a soft "Mhm" before starting to get up, then looking around to find that many places here were surprisingly frozen.
"Chen Tianlong, look over there, what is that?" Tan Xianglan shouted loudly to the front.
Chen Tianlong looked in the direction Tan Xianglan was pointing and discovered a large pool of water. Above the pool was a thick block of ice. And at the very center of the pool lay a natural stone hollow.
Right above the hollow was a rock pillar as thick as a thigh extending downward, and at its tip, ice water continuously dripped bit by bit.
This ice water contained a high concentration of condensed Energy Stone liquid.
"Here it is, the hollow should be where the Pure Energy Stones are, Xianglan, we finally found it, haha." Chen Tianlong rejoiced, lifting Tan Xianglan up and spinning around twice before putting her down.
However, after turning around, Chen Tianlong realized something was off; Tan Xianglan’s clothes were noticeably torn in several places, allowing him to see her scant attire when he lifted her.
Chen Tianlong laughed bitterly, though seeing Tan Xianglan didn’t mention it, the two simply began walking towards the water pool.
The ice here was solid, and Chen Tianlong felt it wouldn’t collapse, so he confidently walked over. Soon, they both reached the edge of the stone hollow and looked inside, finding many small crystal blocks.
These small crystal blocks were undoubtedly the Pure Energy Stones.
Chen Tianlong picked one up casually, finding it a bit cold, and wondered if it needed to stay frozen. So he asked, "Xianglan, do you have any bottles or jars in your little bag?"
"Oh...bottles, huh, I have a small bottle of mineral water. How much do you want to take?" Tan Xianglan replied.
Chen Tianlong thought about it; of course, the more, the better. Wu Liao planned to fill his own backpack, and then have Tan Xianglan carry another bag. After all, both were cultivators; carrying such a small amount of stuff wouldn’t tire them out. So he directly said, "Fill the bottle, then add some ice water in with it."
Tan Xianglan nodded, and the two put the Pure Energy Stone crystal blocks into the bottle. Just as they were about to put them into the small backpack, the ground suddenly started shaking.
Chen Tianlong frowned, sensing something was off. Why did the ice suddenly shake? Was it going to collapse?
"Crack!"
Chen Tianlong was indeed correct in his guess. The ice surface began to crack suddenly for some unknown reason, and the entire cave shook violently, as if it were about to collapse.
Reacting quickly, Chen Tianlong didn’t wait for Tan Xianglan to react. He picked her up and used Ghost Shadow Flash to swiftly move off the ice. Indeed, just as they moved away, the ice surface collapsed with a loud crash, splashing water three meters high.
But it wasn’t over yet. The cave continued shaking violently, as if an earthquake was occurring.
Chen Tianlong didn’t set Tan Xianglan down. Since she weighed only around ninety pounds, it was no pressure at all for him. In this way, he didn’t have to remind her about anything.
He sprinted towards another entrance, while Tan Xianglan, accustomed to being carried by Chen Tianlong, naturally placed the bottle of mineral water into her small bag, no longer worrying about what Chen Tianlong might see.
They had managed to gather at least fifty Pure Energy Stones, laughing like Jade Pendants, all fully charged with energy.
