Chapter 3300
Just when Fade entered the ice lake and fought the strange fish.
This commotion swiftly spread across the silent Frost Valley.
In several places not far from the ice lake, a few of the contestants who were collecting the tokens heard the news and stopped what they were doing. Then, their expressions changed drastically as they rushed toward the ice lake.
"This aura and chillness, it's probably coming from the Eternal Ice Core."
"Someone has found the Eternal Ice Core? Quick, let's go!"
An hour later, except Cayson, who was killed earlier, the other eight contestants all came to the shore of the ice lake.
Looking at the huge ice lake, the eight contestants all looked surprised.
After sensing it for a while, they also felt the horrible chill within the frozen lake. Each of their expressions changed, and they all thought of the same thing, the Eternal Ice Core.
For a moment, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"The Eternal Ice Cored is in here."
At that moment, everyone's eyes were burning with passion. Even Saul, who had previously said that he was not very interested in any of the rewards, could not help but reveal a yearning expression.
"The Eternal Ice Core is in this lake?"
"Then what was the fight just now? Someone came here in advance?" Arian looked around at the surrounding people and said.
Tyreece looked at them and said, "It looks like it."
"Among the eight of us, only Cayson and Fade have not arrived. That means that the person fighting here just now should be one of the two, or rather, the two of them were here at the same time."
As soon as Tyreece finished his words, Saul said, "It can't be Cayson."
"Why?" Uzair asked at that moment.
Saul replied, "Because we met Fade not long ago. He said that he had killed Cayson."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was surprised.
"How is that possible?"
"Cayson was killed? That's impossible."
"And Fade killed him? That is absolutely impossible."
Saul didn't want to waste any more time talking to them, so he said, "Believe it or not, that's up
to
you."
"Since the Eternal Ice Core is likely to be inside the lake, I'll go and have a try."
As he spoke, Saul jumped into the lake and swam towards the center of the lake.
After jumping into the lake, he added, "I don't have a token with me. So if you want to take this opportunity to kill me and snatch the token, don't even think about it."
When the others saw this, they didn't say anything.
After all, it was also a good idea to let Saul, who was a stubborn guy, to explore the lake and check out the situation.
After jumping into the lake, Saul immediately felt the extreme coldness of the water. He quickly activated his positive energy to resist the chill.
However, the closer he got to the center of the lake, the colder Saul felt. It was even more difficult for him to resist.
In the end, when he was about 500 meters away, Saul turned around and climbed ashore. After taking a few pills, he immediately began to meditate and regulate his breathing to remove the chillness in his body.
Seeing this, the other contestants also came to the shore and stretched out their hands to feel the coldness of the lake.
In an instant, several contestant's faces changed at the same time.
"The lake water is colder than expected."
"If it's so cold, why isn't the lake frozen?"
"With such an extreme coldness, it shows that the Eternal Ice Core is indeed inside this lake."
After some discussion, Grant seemed like he thought of something. His eyes lit up and he looked at the center of the lake. He flew up directly and rushed towards the center of the lake.
Seeing this, the other contestant's expressions changed and they hurriedly shouted.
"Oh no, Grant is going to get there first."
"Grant, you're keeping it for yourself."
"Stop! The Eternal Ice Core belongs to everyone."
It was only at that moment that they realized that it was a bit difficult for them to swim straight through the ice-cold lake water. However, if they were to fly through the air, there wouldn't be any problem.
Since Grant flew directly to the center of the lake and looked for the Eternal Ice Core, the possibility of finding it increased a lot more.
This was the reason why these people were so agitated. All of them hurriedly rose into the air and chased after him.
Only Masie who seemed to thought of something, stood on the shore without moving.
At that time, Grant, who had just risen into the air and flew to the lake, suddenly felt that there seemed to be an invisible barrier above his head, which directly slapped him down and made him fall into the water.
Suddenly, Grant's expression looked shocked and he could only swim back through the cold lake.
The other players who had chased after Grant all saw the situation and went back down one after another. They did not continue the chase.
When Grant returned to the shore, everyone could not help but sigh with emotion.
"This ice lake is so weird!" "The lake water is abnormally cold, and there is a protective shield that blocks the air."
"The weirder it is, the more it proves that it is very likely that the Eternal Ice Core is hidden in this ice lake."
In the midst of the discussion, Masie spoke.
"If I'm not mistaken, this ice lake is suppose to be a test for us."
"Whether it's the ice-cold lake water or the invisible protective shield in the air, they are both a test to see the strength of our positive energy."
"If there's not enough positive energy, it would be impossible to get to the center of the ice lake, and naturally, there won't be enough strength to fight for the Eternal Ice Core."
"That's why I'm guessing that my father was the one who set up these weird phenomena."
Hearing Masie's words, these contestants on the scene suddenly understood everything and nodded one after another.
"Miss Goo, you're right. I guess that's why!"
"In order to test us, Mr. Goo have indeed put in a lot of effort."
"Since it's a test for us, then let's have a try!"
Many nodded and were eager to give it a try.
However, at that time, Tyreece squinted his eyes and said, "Hold on!"
"What is it?" Uzair frowned and asked.
Tyreece said, "Don't forget one thing, someone had already arrived here before we came."
"If Saul was right, that person who came earlier was Fade."
"But now, there is no one in the lake and Fade is nowhere to be found. Where do you think he went?"
Hearing these words, many of their expressions changed.
Arian said in a deep voice, "I'm
guessing that Fade had entered the ice lake just now. Perhaps the cold invaded him and he died in the lake. Or maybe he got out of the lake and trying to get rid of the chill outside."
Subhan nodded and said, "That's very possible."
Tyreece then said, "We're going into the lake now to fight for the Eternal Ice Core. But if Fade suddenly appears and attack us, well be exhausted. I'm afraid that well really get into trouble in the lake."
Hearing Tyreece's words, everyone looked worried.
Indeed, this could happen.
Masie frowned and said, "Tyreece, what do you suggest we could do then?"
Tyreece smiled and said, "Of course, everyone will have to fight together. First, we find Fade and eliminate him, then there will be no more worries."
Uzair frowned when he heard these words. His mouth moved a little as though he wanted to say something.
But Masie, who was on the side, snorted and spoke first, "Tyreece, even if we eliminate Fade, I'm afraid that we still can't eliminate our worries."This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Miss Goo, what are you trying to say?" Tyreece asked.
Masie said coldly, "You said that we can't trust Fade, but can we even trust each other?"
"If we enter the lake, how can we guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to attack others?"
Masie's words broke the tacit understanding of everyone at once.
At that moment, everyone looked at each other. Their eyes looked worried and they became more alert.
Tyreece was silent for a moment, then looked at Masie and said, "In that case, Miss Goo, what do you think we should do?"
Masie snorted and said, "Now that we can basically confirm that the Eternal Ice Core is in the lake, and it is the reward for the champion of the final contest."
"Then, how about we decide on the champion first. Then, the champion will go into the lake and take out the Eternal Ice Core immediately. The others are not allowed to take any actions."
Hearing this, Tyreece smiled, "Miss Goo, that's a good idea. However, after the champion is determined, how will you guarantee that the others will not break the agreement and attack?"
"Moreover, even if no one attacks,
we will end up using most of our energy after the great battle. At that time, will we still have the strength to resist the cold lake water? Taking out the Eternal Ice Core will still be a problem!"
After hearing Tyreece's words, it seemed like the problem had returned to the original point.
Since these people here were all contestants, it was impossible for them to completely trust each other.
Since they couldn't trust each other, the so-called agreement would be completely ineffective. Because no one could guarantee that any of them would abide by the agreement.
As a result, it was like they were caught at a junction and there was no way to figure it out. Then, Saul, who had completed removing the cold,
frowned and directly stepped forward.
"A martial artist needs to be
courageous and fearless. What's the
point of thinking so much? If anyone
[e'
wants Eternal Ice Core, just go for it. If you have the abilities, it will naturally belong to you. It's useless
saying anything right now." Content
After saying that, Saul ignored the others and plunged into the lake once again. Circulating his positive energy, he headed towards the center of the
frozen lake.
Seeing this, the other contestants looked at each other and did not know what to do at that moment.
Just as they were hesitating, Saul had already swam 500 meters, surpassing the distance he had first traveled and managed to advance towards 600
meters.
Seeing this, the other contestants on the shore immediately became envious.
If they continued to delay and mutually pin down each other, it was possible that Saul, the stubborn kid, would be the first to snatch the Eternal Ice
Core.
Thinking of this, the other contestants could not sit still anymore. They all activated their positive energy and jumped into the lake, swimming with all
their might.
Of course, they did not dare to really go all out. They still needed to save some energy to guard against any possible sneak attacks.
Eventually, the eight contestants all dived into the water and swam towards the center of the lake.
