As he ate, he mumbled his praise, "Uncle Ming, I never knew you had such skills! This meat is so delicious!"
Uncle Ming laughed from ear to ear: "Hahaha, back in the day, I also ventured into the wilderness quite a bit, which is how I learned these skills."
Han Shuna, watching from the side, couldn't help but tease:
"I've never eaten your cooking before, Uncle Ming."
Uncle Ming laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Didn't we get to eat it this time?"
"Come on, everyone, eat more. Only when you're full will you have the strength to continue searching for the Kunlun Divine Palace."
Han Shuna pouted.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they packed their bags and continued their journey to find the Kunlun Divine Palace.
Along the way, they carefully studied the place.
They kept debating the possible location of the Kunlun Divine Palace.
Hu Bayi often looked up at the starry sky and used the movement of the stars to determine the direction of his journey.
After walking for a day through the vast snowfield, they finally arrived at their destination.
Hu Bayi stopped and carefully observed his surroundings before pointing to the ground beneath his feet and saying:
"Boss, according to my calculations, the Kunlun Divine Palace should be nearby."
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang immediately became excited, rubbing his hands together and saying, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's start digging!"
Lin Yang nodded slightly, signaling everyone to begin their work.
Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi, and the others quickly took out their tools and began digging into the ground.
At this moment, heavy snow began to fall from the horizon, and the biting wind made people shiver.
If it weren't for the fact that they all possessed extraordinary skills, they would probably have frozen to death in this icy and snowy place long ago.
Lin Yang looked around. Snow was falling heavily and the wind was biting cold. Ordinary people would indeed find it difficult to withstand such a harsh environment.
"The others set up camp nearby."
Lin Yang pointed to a relatively flat area next to him and said.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ming and the others immediately took action.
They had a clear division of labor: some were responsible for setting up tents, while others were responsible for preparing food and heating equipment.
Lin Yang stood quietly to the side, watching Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi, and the others dig.
This iceberg is indeed incredibly hard, with layers upon layers of ice that have stood for millennia, making it no easy task to break through.
But Hu Bayi and his companions are not ordinary people; they possess rich experience and extraordinary abilities.
With the addition of a special tool coated with ginger juice, the digging speed was quite impressive.
Just as the tents were almost set up, Fatty Wang suddenly shouted, "Boss, we've found something!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang immediately went over and saw that the shape of a tower could be vaguely seen underground.
The tower exudes an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it has been buried for countless years.
"Is this the Nine-Story Demon Tower?" Lin Yang squinted and examined it closely before asking.
"It looks like the legendary Nine-Story Demon Tower," Hu Bayi chimed in. "I never expected to encounter it here."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yang said, "Let's rest for a while and break through this iceberg to take a look when we've recovered our strength."
Everyone agreed, since no one knew what the situation would be like next, and maintaining peak condition was the most important thing.
So everyone began to sit around the fire and rest.
It's best to eat something and replenish your energy.
They began to break through the spire, revealing the surrounding scenery.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang jumped down one after the other.
Lin Yang thought for a moment and said to Chu Yi, "You stay here and keep watch."
Chu Yi nodded in agreement.
Then Lin Yang and the others jumped down one after another.
As I jumped down, it looked like the ninth floor was below.
There were murals everywhere around.
"Looks like we've come to the right place," Lin Yang said upon seeing the paintings.
Sherry Yang nodded and said, "Boss, this is indeed the Nine-Story Demon Tower of Kunlun Divine Palace. I estimate that Kunlun Divine Palace should not be far from here."
Fatty Wang's eyes lit up: "Doesn't that mean we're not far from getting the treasure?"
Chapter 179: The Crystal Corpse of the Glacier
Upon hearing Wang Pangzi's words, Hu Bayi immediately burst into laughter, his eyes narrowing into slits.
"Fatty, what's the rush? There will be so many treasures that you won't be able to take them all. You'll be having a blast."
Sherry Yang smiled and teased, "..."
"This is the Demon Kingdom, with a long history, and it's located in such a secluded place. I estimate that the treasures here are no less than we imagined."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ming's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together, saying:
"It's great to have treasures! It's great to have treasures! This trip wasn't a complete waste."
His face was full of anticipation, as if he could already see those priceless treasures.
Seeing their excited expressions, Lin Yang couldn't help but pour cold water on their enthusiasm:
"You guys, don't be too happy yet. The more dangerous the place, the greater the danger."
After all, Lin Yang knew that the Kunlun Divine Palace was extremely dangerous.
One wrong move and you could lose your life here.
Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that he doesn't know if the legendary Demon Mother of the Demon Kingdom is still alive.
After all, the Ghost Mother has existed for generations; if they were all still alive, it would be quite a spectacle.
Fatty Wang listened to Lin Yang's words, but laughed dismissively:
"Boss, what are you afraid of? With you here, what can't we handle?"
Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang nodded in agreement.
They knew Lin Yang's strength; he was the owner of Pawnshop No. 8, a being beyond the Three Realms.
With him around, there's really nothing to worry about.
Lin Yang smiled at what Fatty Wang said, but didn't say anything.
"Alright, let's keep chiseling." Lin Yang waved his hand, signaling everyone to continue working.
Upon hearing Lin Yang's order, everyone picked up their tools and continued digging.
Layer upon layer, because the Nine-Story Demon Tower is inside a glacier, the surrounding temperature is getting lower and lower.
The cold wind was biting, making people shiver.
However, no one showed any sign of stopping; instead, they dug even harder.
They knew that only by digging to the very bottom could they find the real treasure.
Upon reaching the final level, a breathtaking view unfolded before them, revealing a large, gleaming circular crystal, resembling the brightest star in the night sky.
The crystal contains a female corpse with natural water-like patterns on her body, layer upon layer, as if recording ancient history.
The woman's face was serene and mysterious, as if she were asleep and waiting to awaken.
On the surface of the crystal, a lifelike werewolf-like deity is carved.
His face was ferocious, and his eyes were piercing, as if he could see through everything.
He wore a white helmet, silver armor and a white robe, and held a silver-tasseled spear. He was in a leaping pose, as if he could break free of the crystal's restraints at any moment.
"Baby, this is absolutely a treasure!" Uncle Ming's eyes lit up as he stroked the crystal female corpse.
It was as if he could see countless riches beckoning to him:
"This is priceless! We're rich this time!"
Fatty Wang jumped up excitedly: "Haha, this is incredibly valuable! Our trip was definitely worthwhile!"
Hu Bayi, on the other hand, appeared relatively calm. He glanced at the excited Uncle Ming and Fatty Wang, and said:
"Look at your pathetic self, you're nothing special."
"We haven't found the Demon Kingdom's lair yet; the wealth inside is probably even greater."
After hearing Hu Bayi's words, Fatty Wang calmed down and laughed, "Master Hu is right, I was indeed short-sighted."
"We still need to keep working hard to find the Demon Kingdom's lair; that's where the real wealth lies."
Just then, Uncle Ming suddenly exclaimed, "Look! The thing inside this crystal is moving around!"
This immediately drew everyone's attention.
They all moved closer, wanting to get a better look at the crystal corpse.
Inside the crystal corpse, something seemed to be alive, possessing a mysterious and eerie beauty.
Lin Yang glanced at it indifferently and then slowly said, "What's inside is the Boundless Karmic Fire."
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang almost instinctively took a step back.
They had witnessed the terror of the immeasurable karmic fire firsthand, so they naturally knew its power.
Uncle Ming and the others were clearly not in the mood to react.
They looked at Lin Yang blankly, not knowing what he was talking about.
Seeing this, Fatty Wang quickly explained the power of the Boundless Karmic Fire.
Upon hearing Fatty Wang's explanation, Uncle Ming and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they all retreated in fear.
