Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Upon hearing this...

Wayne gently patted Sylvia on the back.

"Alright, stop thanking me. I'm always generous to my own people."

He then looked at Athena.

"Untie the divine deer."

Athena nodded and gently tapped the ice that imprisoned the world's divine deer, turning it into ice elemental energy that dissipated.

After the divine deer was freed from its restraints, it stomped its hooves on the ground, as if it were stretching its body.

Wayne then beckoned to the level seven array plate. The only remaining level seven array plate gathered its energy, the array disappeared, and then transformed into a stream of light that landed in Wayne's hand.

After Wayne put the array plate into his spatial ring, he was about to walk over when he saw Sylvia hugging him tightly in his arms.

Wayne couldn't help but joke.

"My embrace is very expensive, you know. I have to charge you for holding me like this."

Upon hearing this...

Sylvia gasped and quickly took a few steps back, her face flushed, which amused Aurora and Athena.

.........

After a while.

The crowd gathered around the icy pool, and Wayne turned his gaze toward the World Deer.

"Since you're here, you must know what's down there, right?"

The words fell.

Everyone turned their gaze to the World Deer, but the World Deer shook its head.

"I have no idea."

"I just sensed something here that attracted me, but I don't know exactly what it is."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne wasn't surprised, since Athena had been the same when she first arrived.

Squat down.

Wayne reached into it, and the biting cold seeped into his palm. After only a moment, Wayne withdrew his hand.

Raise your hand.

His palms were pale, several shades lighter than his own fair skin, like the skin of a Westerner in a past life.

Wayne channeled his magical energy to dispel the chill in his hands, while simultaneously warming his palms, and his skin quickly returned to normal.

However, Wayne didn't say anything. He squatted down again and wrapped the magic shield around his palm.

He reached his hand in again.

As his hand entered the water, the cold spring water was blocked by the energy shield, but before he could even feel happy, Wayne sensed that the magic shield was disappearing.

Or, to be more precise, ablation.

Everyone witnessed everything, and then Athena's voice rang out.

"The exposed spring water is so cold that even the energy shield can't stop it. If we go down like this, it's fine if the water isn't deep, but if it's so deep that we can't see the bottom, then we'll be in danger."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne shook his head, his tone somewhat indifferent.

"The energy shield isn't failing; it's melting away, being disintegrated by the higher-level ice elemental magic contained within the icy spring water."

"What do you mean?"

The illiterate lion didn't understand at first, so he asked.

Wayne glanced at Lei Shi, then turned his gaze to Han Quan, explaining, "The so-called higher-level energy, to give an example, is like the strength of the magical energy manifestation shields of a first-level wizard and a second-level wizard, when the two collide."

"A level one wizard's shield is weaker than a level two's and will eventually be shattered by it."

The words fell.

Lei Shi suddenly realized. "So, the ice elemental magic in this cold spring water is at least emanating from a level four rare and precious natural treasure?"

"good."

"Athena, you should give it a try."

Let's talk something and then walk aside.

Athena nodded upon hearing this, stepped forward and imitated Wayne, opening her shield to protect her palms before reaching her palms into the cold spring.

As expected.

The shield did not disappear, and Athena also spoke up, "The energy level contained in this cold spring is about level five, which has attracted the World Deer."

"Perhaps the cold spring water is the item He will eventually obtain, or rather, the opportunity."

Upon hearing this...

The World Deer curled its lip. "Don't underestimate deer. As a fellow level five deer, plus my spatial abilities, it's not impossible for me to go down and obtain treasures."

The words fell.

Lei Shi spat out a curse.

"Get lost! Who gave you the right to speak?"

After making a sarcastic remark about the divine deer.

Lei Shi excitedly exclaimed, "Wayne, let's hurry down! Athena is a level seven powerhouse; the treasure will be within our grasp!"

Upon hearing this, Wayne didn't rush to move, but instead shook his head.

Good food is worth waiting for.

"The cold spring may not look big, but the depth underground may not be as shallow as it appears on the surface. If I hadn't considered this, I wouldn't have reached out to test it."

He then looked at Aurora.

"I remember your uncle prepared some equipment for you, right?"

Aurora nodded.

"Yes, we do have some, but we haven't used any of those since we left. We have so many things already, which one would you like, young master?"

"rope."

Upon hearing this, Aurora reached out and took out a bundle of rope, then handed it to Wayne.

Wayne tugged at the rope and discovered it was an alchemical artifact, so he didn't use it himself.

"Come here."

"Athena, condense a ballast stone of ice element and let Aurora explore the depth of the Cold Spring."

Athena nodded.

With a light tap of his finger on the ground, a square ballast stone formed from condensed ice elements quickly appeared before everyone.

"It's up to you, Aurora."

Aurora nodded, her hands radiating light elemental energy, which she then infused into the rope.

The rope shone brightly.

With a final kick, the ballast stone flew above the cold spring. Taking advantage of this moment, Aurora swung her rope to entangle it, accompanied by a splash of water.

The ballast stone sank towards the bottom of the cold spring, leaving only faint water droplets that rippled continuously.

Five minutes later.

As the rope continued to descend, Wayne and the others' expressions gradually became serious.

Because the speed at which the rope extends does not decrease, it maintains the same constant speed as when it first started falling.

"It must be over 300 meters, right?"

Lei Shi said in shock.

"It's 800 meters and above."

Aurora, holding the rope, took over the conversation.

"Moreover, I can feel that the stretching is still drooping down, and the speed is getting faster and faster."

The words fell.

Athena said softly, "Wayne, how about we stop here? This depth is probably beyond your current capabilities. The surface already has level five energy, and going any further might..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

But Wayne naturally understood Athena's meaning, so he nodded slightly.

"Later..."

Before she could finish speaking, Aurora suddenly choked, and if she hadn't been strong enough, she probably would have plunged headfirst into it.

"What's wrong?"

Aurora didn't reply, but suddenly pulled back a few steps, her veins bulging on her hands.

Once things stabilize.

Aurora then replied, "Young Master, something has bitten the rope down there, and it's very strong."

Upon hearing this, Wayne immediately looked at Lei Shi.

"Aren't you going to help?"

"Our physical bodies are not as strong as your magical beasts."

"And you go quickly."

Seeing this, Lei Shi didn't hesitate. He leaped behind Aurora, bit the rope, and pulled her backward sharply.

Seeing this, the divine deer gritted its teeth and joined in. After all, although it felt it was not in line with its status, it would still be part of this team in the future.

With the arrival of the divine deer, the tense situation began to turn, and the thing being bitten from below was gradually lifted upwards.

As time passed, ten minutes flew by.

"It's coming."

After Aurora finished speaking, Wayne led Athena and the others to the side, while also taking out the level seven array plate and hovering it above the spring, ready to activate it at any moment.

After doing all this.

A splash of water rang out, and a colossal, ice-blue creature was pulled out of the icy spring, appearing before everyone's eyes.

"Heavenly Ice Python!"

"It's the Heavenly Ice Python."

At this moment, Athena's urgent voice rang out, and before anyone could ask, Athena, who had already recognized him, had already taken action.

"Secret Technique: Freeze Heaven and Earth"
