When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 808 - 320: Land of the 9 Dragons Profound Ice (Part 3)
After arranging for them, Li Xiu then headed to the Nine Dragon Profound Ice Sect with Li Qingyi.
The trial rules of the Nine Dragon Profound Ice Trial Ground are generally difficult for most people to pass.
Within an enclosed space, the temperature will drastically drop, and the terrifying cold can easily kill the Trial Taker inside.
The higher the level of the trial, the lower the temperature and the longer one must endure inside.
Li Qingyi used the Trial Badge and directly triggered a trial with entry ticket rewards. After entering, they found they were unlucky and encountered an S-level trial.
The two needed to endure for seventy-two hours in the cold, which is three days, to pass the test.
The rules didn’t state the exact temperature, only that it was extremely low.
Li Xiu didn’t care; he had the Ice Heart talent and Ice Ashes skill, and the cold hardly harmed him.
However, three days is indeed quite long. Three days without food or water, then entering the Land of Trial, it’s uncertain if they can find water and food there.
If they can find water and food, great. If not, they must come out quickly.
In the trial ground like an ice cave, surrounded by ice walls, even the ceiling and floor are made of ice.
Li Xiu moved around a bit, finding the temperature bearable, not as cold as imagined, merely around minus twenty to thirty degrees.
Seeming to see through Li Xiu’s thoughts, Li Qingyi said: "It’s just the beginning now. As time progresses, the temperature will drop further. If you can’t endure, make sure to tell me. I’ll think of a way to help you."
"Alright." Li Xiu nodded, found a spot to sit down, and used Ice Ashes to convert the cold into energy for himself.
Li Qingyi sat across from Li Xiu, wearing thick clothes, surprisingly a fur coat and boots, with a hooded coat, the thick fur of which looked very warm.
Li Xiu glanced at his white tight-fitting clothes and couldn’t help but sigh about his bad luck. He had managed to get a scholar robe that was quickly destroyed; Li Qingyi had countless sets of clothing type Parasitic Contracts, truly incomparable.
As time passed, the temperature indeed dropped further, fortunately Li Xiu had his talent and skills, this cold still didn’t affect him much.
"Cold?" After a while, Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu and asked.
"Not cold." Li Xiu shook his head.
"If you feel cold, make sure to tell me." Li Qingyi said, then closed her eyes, leaning against the wall and continued sleeping.
After sleeping for a while, Li Qingyi asked again if Li Xiu felt cold, and he still said he wasn’t.
For three days, as the temperature in the trial ground continued to drop, Li Qingyi asked if Li Xiu felt cold regularly.
Li Xiu initially answered he wasn’t cold, as he indeed didn’t feel cold.
Later, Li Xiu suddenly thought that since Li Qingyi kept asking if he was cold, she might have some way to help him with the cold.
Li Xiu was curious about what method Li Qingyi might have.
So after the second day, Li Qingyi asked again if he was cold, Li Xiu said he was a bit cold.
"If you’re a bit cold, then just hold out a bit longer." Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu and said.
Li Xiu was instantly speechless, her solution ended up being him holding out a bit longer.
"Really a scam." Li Xiu was somewhat speechless.
Having gone without food or drink for two days, Li Xiu felt somewhat hungry and extremely thirsty.
He tried to chip some ice off the wall to melt it into water to drink.
Unexpectedly, this ice was as hard as rock, to the point that even Li Xiu’s strength, punching the ice wall left no mark, yet his finger bones felt like they were about to break from the pain.
"Don’t bother trying, the Profound Ice here is incredibly hard; even if you could use the Symbiotic Contract, it wouldn’t affect the ice walls." Li Qingyi calmly said while sitting there.
Li Xiu had no choice but to sit back down. Without food or water, he simply lay on the ground and slept.
After sleeping for a while, he heard Li Qingyi ask if he was cold again. Li Xiu was too lazy to respond, knowing she’d just tell him to hold out longer even if he was cold.
Li Xiu didn’t respond to Li Qingyi and continued to sleep.
After asking several times without hearing Li Xiu’s response, Li Qingyi stopped asking.
After a while, Li Xiu heard Li Qingyi seem to have stood up, walked over to him.
Shortly after, Li Xiu felt Li Qingyi’s hand on his forehead.
Since Li Xiu hadn’t responded to Li Qingyi earlier, he naturally felt too embarrassed to open his eyes and say he was sleeping and simply let her touch his forehead.
Anyway, with his Ice Heart and Ice Ashes on him, his body temperature was higher than a normal person, with Li Qingyi touching it, she should know he’s fine.
However, Li Xiu was somewhat off guard, after Li Qingyi touched his forehead, she immediately changed her expression.
In such a cold place, Li Xiu’s body temperature was unusually high, lying motionless on the ground; although his heart and breathing were normal, it still indicated something abnormal about his body.
Li Xiu felt Li Qingyi’s hand finally leave his body, thinking she knew he was fine, ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiu suddenly felt a slight chill over his body, followed by a soft touch, then felt his upper body lifted up and thick things wrapping around him.
Li Xiu felt his face seemed to be pressed against something soft and elastic like a pillow.
Li Xiu immediately realized what was happening; Li Qingyi had hugged him and wrapped him in her coat.
Feeling the soft comfort, smelling the fragrance, Li Xiu decided to continue sleeping; this was far better than sleeping on the hard icy ground.
Li Qingyi held onto Li Xiu, feeling warmer and warmer; Li Xiu’s body was like a large hand warmer, making Li Qingyi feel increasingly hot, almost wanting to sweat.
