The little purple figure shrugged at i'Er, then pointed to the empty Glazed Cup in her hand, and finally silently twisted its own neck, turning 180 degrees.
The little purple figure dissipated, looking as if it had 'committed suicide.'
"What does this an?" This little combo left i'Er bewildered.
Qiao Lezhi, who was on lookout behind, ca over again, resting her head on i'Er's shoulder and looking at the Glazed Cup in her hand.
"It might an that it won't take the job, and you have to find soone else. Look, your cup has a prize, a second prize, get two more cups."
i'Er ignored Qiao Lezhi, frowning as she looked at the cave, unsure of what was strange there.
"ow!" In the anwhile, Miaomiao cried out.
Qiao Lezhi and i'Er both looked down to see the Snow Leopard in the cage raising its paw, pointing diagonally forward.
"West? Why are you pointing west?" Qiao Lezhi asked the Snow Leopard.
"West? How do you know that way is west?" i'Er looked at Qiao Lezhi.
The environnt here is chaotic and with no reference points, how does Qiao Lezhi know that it's west?
"Because north is up and south is down, west is left and east is right, isn't that common sense?" Qiao Lezhi said matter-of-factly.
i'Er, "That's a map! It's flat, how can standing up be north up, south down, west left, east right!"
"Why not? Aren't we in the Extre North now? Books say the Four Continents are round, so it's north up, south down, west left, east right." Qiao Lezhi looked at i'Er in confusion, pointing with her left hand, "So, that's west!"
i'Er, "..."
There's so logic to it, but also seems off sohow…
"Do you usually find your way like this?" i'Er looked at Qiao Lezhi, sowhat exasperated.
Qiao Lezhi, "Not really, if there's a sun I look at the sun, if not then I find my way like this."
i'Er looked at Qiao Lezhi, thinking that so people manage to get lost from the Northern Territory all the way here, it's not without reason.
The cave fell silent once more.
It wasn't just i'Er; even Miaomiao was a bit stunned, amazed at Qiao Lezhi's staggering 'wisdom.'
He truly felt he couldn't go on like this, worried that if this furthers, he might really end up digging to the Southern Sea Extre Abyss on the other side of the Four Continents with this foolish woman.
He owed again, signaling for Qiao Lezhi and i'Er to look over.
Then he pointed diagonally forward again.
This ti, his intent was finally communicated.
"You an? If we dig in that direction, we can get out?"
"ow!" Miaomiao nodded vigorously.
"You're not tricking us?" Qiao Lezhi eyed the snow leopard in the cage skeptically and critically.
"ow!" Miaomiao shook his head.
"Alright, I'll trust you this once, but think carefully about the way to lead us, if you get us lost, I'll eat you directly!" Qiao Lezhi threatened fiercely.
"ow... ow ow." Miaomiao pretended to act cute, continuing to point forward.
"Really trust her?" i'Er frowned, looking at Qiao Lezhi.
"What else can we do if not trust her, continue trusting ?"
i'Er thought about it and decided it was better to trust the Snow Leopard than to trust Qiao Lezhi.
The two of them started digging again in the direction pointed by Miaomiao.
This ti, it was noticeably different from before. Although the direction pointed by Miaomiao kept changing, they both clearly felt that they were moving out of the maze-like depths of the Ice Vein Corridor.
The power that obstructed the Spiritual Qi's detection in the ice layer weakened, and the confused sense of direction gradually corrected.
After half a two-hour period, Qiao Lezhi punched through the ice wall in front of her, revealing not a cave, but a wide crystalline ice corridor. The group had finally left the maze-like lower layers, entering the upper region of the Ice Vein Corridor.
Qiao Lezhi leaned on the Door Plate Greatsword and took a breath.
"I'm exhausted, let's rest."
Compared to the maze-like lower layers, the upper level was much more comfortable, with the corridor made of crystalline ice and solid rock extraordinarily wide. The Spiritual Qi vortex that blew in from so entrance over the years had created intricate patterns on the rock walls.
By walking against the direction of the patterns, they could quickly leave this Ice Vein Corridor.
i'Er cast a sidelong glance at Miaomiao in the cage, nodded to indicate he did a good job, then casually found a place to sit down and began ditating, circulating Spiritual Qi.
Even though Qiao Lezhi helped, she still expended significant energy from all the digging, so now was a good ti to recover since it was safe.
Miaomiao quietly nestled in the cage, squinting at Qiao Lezhi and i'Er, a cold smile forming in his heart.
Although the white shadow that imprisoned him hadn't disappeared, it had loosened significantly, allowing him to use so abilities.
Miaomiao closed his eyes, breathing slowly, mimicking i'Er's breathing rhythm, until they matched.
A barely perceptible force began to spread and flow towards i'Er.
A wisp of his tainted Divine Soul silently 'walked' into i'Er's Spirit Platform, preparing to find a weak point and capture her Divine Soul.
He wanted to see won fight.
But a mont later…
Miaomiao receded silently again.
It wasn't cowardice, but a strategic retreat.
He discovered that there was a sword qi safeguarding i'Er's Spirit Platform, vicious and unparalleled, not sothing he could handle at the mont. It should've been left by a high-ranking expert from the Sword Sect.
Forget it, this woman has backing, let's think about it later.
First, he'll go and attempt to manipulate the one with the Door Plate Greatsword.
That one seed not very bright, should be easier to fool.
Miaomiao tilted his head, letting out another cold smile in his heart, and began mimicking Qiao Lezhi's breathing rhythm.
However, as he stared intently at Qiao Lezhi for a long ti, he realized this woman wasn't circulating Spiritual Qi at all; she was just simply breathing.
