Chapter 3824: billion-year ice ginseng!

Entering the cold pool, Xiao Fan transferred part of the Chixiao Demon Flame's power into Gong Ze's body, helping him protect his Physical Body…

Then, Xiao Fan and Gong Ze headed toward the depths of the cold pool.

In this bone-chilling cold pool, without the protection of a powerful Fire-Attribute Cultivation Technique, one couldn't stay for more than a moment before being frozen into ice… even the Divine Soul would be frozen here along with them.

Soon, Xiao Fan and Gong Ze went deep beneath the cold pool.

During this time, the spiritual energy consumed by the two became even more massive, their faces turning pale, and they took several Medicinal Pills to recover their spiritual energy.

Soon, Gong Ze sensed a strange aura and looked at Xiao Fan: "Brother Bufan…"

Xiao Fan nodded: "I felt it too. Let's be careful…"

With that, Xiao Fan and Gong Ze slowly approached the source of the strange aura beneath the cold pool.

Not long after, Xiao Fan and Gong Ze arrived at the source of the aura.

Ahead was a billion-year ice ginseng growing in the cold pool, and there was more than one!

"So many?!" Gong Ze showed a look of shock and was immediately overjoyed.

Xiao Fan was also surprised; he hadn't expected there to be so many billion-year ice ginsengs.

"Brother Bufan, shall we quietly approach?" Gong Ze spoke urgently.

Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Alright."

With that, Xiao Fan and Gong Ze planned to approach the billion-year ice ginseng.

At this moment, the voice of the star chart suddenly appeared in Xiao Fan's ear.

"Kid, don't go. What's ahead is fake…"

At this time, the star chart's warning suddenly appeared in Xiao Fan's ear.

"Hmm?" Xiao Fan was taken aback and hurriedly pulled Gong Ze back: "Wait a moment."

"What's wrong, Brother Bufan?" Gong Ze was stunned.

Xiao Fan shook his head and didn't say a word, instead communicating with the star chart using his Divine Soul.

What happened?

"Kid, that's an illusion ahead. If you rush over, you'll be pulled into the illusion, and it'll be hard to escape afterward. Even the billion-year ice ginseng you see are fake… the opponent is a Magical Artifact transformed."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan was startled and hurriedly asked the star chart what was going on.

The star chart told Xiao Fan that it perceived it very clearly; the opponent should be a Magical Artifact at the Peak of chaos spirit treasure, only half a step away from being a chaos divine treasure.

It had been hiding here all along, using illusions to protect itself…

"So that's how it is. Then what should we do?" Xiao Fan murmured.

"The best way is to let the kid next to you be the bait. Once that fellow reveals its form, I'll help you suppress it," the star chart spoke indifferently.

The star chart was very interested in capturing Chaos-level Magical Artifacts.

If the Magical Artifact was useful to Xiao Fan, the star chart would keep it for him; if not, the star chart would just devour it completely…

"Will he be in danger?" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Of course he will. There's no telling how long he'll be pulled into the illusion. If the opponent has mastered the Law of time… in a cold pool like this, that kid might be gone the moment he enters," the star chart said bluntly.

"And you still want him to go?"

"Nonsense. If he doesn't go, are you going to seek death?"

Xiao Fan: "…"

Xiao Fan was rendered speechless by the star chart's words; he didn't know what to say.

Indeed.

It was very dangerous ahead. If there was danger, it was better to let someone else go.

But Gong Ze was a decent guy. If Yuan Yanbin were here, Xiao Fan definitely wouldn't be polite, but with Gong Ze… Xiao Fan thought about it and decided to forget it.

"What's wrong, Brother Bufan?" Gong Ze asked again.

Gong Ze was now extremely anxious. The billion-year ice ginseng was right in front of him. If he missed this opportunity, he might never be able to restore his Foundation in this lifetime.

One must know that both Gong Ze and Xiao Fan were nearing their limits and couldn't stay beneath the cold pool for much longer.

"This… Gong Ze, it's quite dangerous ahead. Have you thought it through?" Xiao Fan thought for a moment and looked at Gong Ze.

"Danger? I'm not afraid of danger, Brother Bufan. I'm already very grateful that you could accompany me here. Leave the rest to me; you just stay here…" Gong Ze showed a look of determination.

He really had no intention of blaming Xiao Fan.

Originally, Xiao Fan had come to the Ancient Cold River just to accompany him.

Now he had even accompanied him beneath the cold pool; there was no need for the other party to risk his life with him.

"This… alright then. But I'm telling you, it should be very dangerous ahead. You might easily die if you rush over," Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment and spoke seriously.

"Die? Hehehe… Brother Bufan, if I live but my Foundation is ruined, I think it's better to die," Gong Ze gave a bitter laugh and shook his head helplessly.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan was startled, then nodded heavily: "Be careful…"

Putting himself in Gong Ze's shoes, if his own Foundation were ruined, he would probably make the same choice.

"Alright." Gong Ze nodded heavily. Even knowing it was dangerous ahead, he still resolutely approached.
