Chapter 421– Ice House

The others were panting while Lan Xuanyu’s golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass continued to coil around their bodies. No one knew if there would be another whirlwind. It had appeared too suddenly without any warning.

Furthermore, Lan Xuanyu felt that the whirlwind just now wasn’t the gigantic one he had seen from space. If they encountered it, they might very well be shredded to pieces by it.

The environment here was too harsh, what should they do?

“Xuanyu, if Mengqin and I work together, we can quickly congeal ice to protect everyone. As long as we aren’t split up, we should be able to do it,” Dong Qianqiu suddenly said to Lan Xuanyu.

“En?” Lan Xuanyu looked at her doubtfully.

Dong Qianqiu said, “The ice elements here are very abundant, and make our abilities in this aspect to increase greatly. Let’s give it a try.”

As she spoke, she pulled Lan Mengqin out from behind her. Mengqin glanced at Qian Lei, who was seated not far away and did not make a sound. The frustration in her chest gradually disappeared. She was right next to Qian Lei when the catastrophe occurred and the souvenir was too strong. Only after a bit did she feel better.

Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin held hands as their eyes lit up.

In an instant, the temperature around them dropped.

Lan Xuanyu could feel it the most clearly. He had control over water elements as well, and at this moment, he felt as though the surrounding wind elements were like rivers flowing into the sea, almost crashing into him.

These water elements became visible to the naked eye due to over-condensing, and an ice shield formed quickly and enveloped everyone.

The ice shield was connected to the ground and was completely round-shaped. Although it was very cramped inside, it protected everyone inside and the outside was as smooth as a mirror.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up. With this, they wouldn’t be easily blown away! More importantly, they could have a place to rest.

When Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin consumed the Ice God Twin Lotus Flowers, they had soaked in Sea God Lake for a total of eight hours. Tang Yue cried out that this was a loss for them, but this allowed them to absorb the Heaven and Earth treasure perfectly.

After absorbing the Ice God Twin Lotus Flowers, the two girls had developed a strange connection. It wasn’t a Martial Soul Fusion skill, but all of their abilities felt like they could fuse together. It wasn’t as strong as a single Martial Soul Fusion skill, but it was much stronger than just adding their strength.

Simply put, a Martial Soul Fusion sill could turn one plus one into five and explode in an instant. However, their combined power could turn one plus one into 3.5 or 4. When the two of them worked together, their strength would increase greatly.

This ice house manifested by them caused everyone’s eyes to light up.

“That’s it,” Dong Qianqiu said. “With the enhancement from your silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass, it is almost equivalent to an instantaneous manifestation. As long as we feel that something is wrong, we will immediately congeal an ice house to protect everyone. We shouldn’t be easily swept away.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly. “Alright, let’s do this.”

After thinking for a moment, he said, “From our current situation, the protective clothing given to us by the academy is actually taking into account the harsh environment here. Based on the situation just now, even if we fell straight down, this protective clothing might not have been damaged, and it wouldn’t cause us to be severely injured. At most, it would be a light injury. But in such a harsh environment, it would be extremely difficult to find a mineral vein and excavate it. This is also the main obstacle of our assessment. If we want to excavate more types of rare metals, the difficulty will naturally be higher. I’ve checked and in just a short while, we’ve been blown over a hundred kilometers away by the whirlwind. We have already deviated from the direction I wanted to go. The others will definitely face the same situation as us. With the protection of the ice house, it will be relatively easier for us to move forward. Then, the biggest problem now is how to successfully excavate the rare metals.”

“I think we should be able to resolve this problem.” Tang Yuge’s voice suddenly resounded and everyone turned to look at her.

Tang Yuge pointed to the ground and said, “I just sensed it carefully. This planet is worthy of being called a Resource Planet. The ground itself is made of ores, and the metal element inside is very abundant. There is at least five percent of rare metal. This means that beneath our feet are rare metal ores.”

Lan Xuanyu was taken aback and lowered his head to look at the ground. Upon closer inspection, the gray rocks indeed had some reflection of metal.

“So simple? Then we just have to get some ores and go back?” Bing Tian asked in surprise.

Tang Yuge shook her head and said, “It shouldn’t be that easy. Firstly, we have to discover that the ground beneath our feet is made of ores. I’m afraid this is not an easy thing to notice. At the same time, this place…”

Just as she said that, her expression changed. Just then, everyone suddenly heard a series of “crackling” sounds coming from outside the ice house.

Lan Xuanyu’s two silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass quickly wrapped around Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin. He placed one hand on the ice house and poured ice elements.

The two girls worked together to stabilize the ice house.

Without a doubt, a whirlwind had come again.

They had only landed for a short while and were already faced with another one.

However, the effect of the ice house was indeed very good. It was like a small bump on the surface, it was firm and smooth, without much friction. The ice shards that were swept by the wind landed on it and made a sound, but they were unable to sweep it away.

After a few minutes, the world outside became quiet.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that the ice house was reliable.

Lan Xuanyu turned to Tang Yuge. “Continue.”

Tang Yuge said, “At the same time, it is also difficult to collect ores. You guys felt it just now, whirlwinds come too quickly. The ground is very hard, and it will take some time to dig. Also, there is another problem. The teacher said metal, not metal ores. A kilogram of rare metal would require at least 20 kilograms of ores. It is also very difficult to judge the purity of the ores, unless you have an ability related to metal elements like me. So…” At this point, she shrugged her shoulders. This final exam was really not easy!

He had to obtain at least two types of metals, but if he was sent flying in the sky all day, how was he going to excavate? Furthermore, discovering this wasn’t an easy task.

Furthermore, even if the excavation was successful, it wouldn’t be easy to carry 20 kilograms of ore back to the base! No one knew when they would encounter a whirlwind, and they would be sent flying before they could go back.

Everyone looked at the backpack. Not to mention 20 kilograms, even five kilograms of ores would be a problem.

While sent flying in the air, how could one hold the ores ?

This test was truly insane!

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched, but they were also glad.

Especially Bing Tianliang and his team. They looked at each other and their expressions turned weird. If not for Lan Xuanyu’s team, would they have thought of all these? Would they have the protection of this ice house?

Lin Donghui suddenly said, “Metal ores are used to refine metals and require high temperatures to purify. I can calcine the ores and refine the metals to reduce everyone’s weight.” He felt that he needed to show off his presence or else he would be really useless.

Lan Xuanyu nodded. “I’ve chosen forging as my auxiliary profession. If I work with you, the purification should be faster.”

Tang Yuge said, “I can control the metal elements directly. When you guys are refining, I can guarantee that they won’t leak out.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Then let’s try it now. We’ll take the materials from the ground.”
