Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"If you can't even handle this small matter, I think you have no reason to continue existing!"

Upon hearing this, Ed dared not complain anymore and immediately nodded.

"Rest assured, sir, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

"Alright, I'll leave these mundane matters to you! The rest of you, come with me to retrieve the 'Frost Soul Ice Crystal'! Once it's done, we'll meet back here!" After making the final arrangements, Bass immediately prepared to leave.

The others, seeing this, dared not say anything and quickly followed.

Seeing this, Wuxin naturally abandoned Ed and followed Bass and his group invisibly.

He was eager to know what exactly the so-called 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystal' was.

He hadn't yet decided whether to try and seize it.

Judging from the current situation, it should be easy for him to snatch things from Bass and his group, but that would easily alert them and potentially cause him to lose the opportunity to contact their higher-ups.

Chapter 188 Subsurface Layer

"Forget it, let's see how things go before we decide!" Suppressing the various thoughts in his mind, Wu Xin silently followed behind the group.

After leaving the cave stronghold hidden inside the mountain, Bass and his men accelerated again, moving rapidly along the ground like streaks of black lightning cutting across the earth.

Although he wasn't using his true form and his strength was greatly limited, Wuxin still managed to easily keep up with them while controlling his ghostly body.

The group continued north, venturing deeper into Iceland.

Eventually, they came to rest on the edge of a volcano.

Wu Xin immediately recognized it as an extinct volcano, its magma having long since cooled and solidified into hard rock.

As for the volcano itself, it was covered by ice and snow, turning into a white iceberg.

"Is this the place? But I've come here twice before, and I haven't found any clues at all!" one of the women in our group said, somewhat puzzled.

"If it were that easy to find, it wouldn't be a treasure!" Bass glared at her, his tone full of disdain.

I searched here twice and still couldn't find any clues, which shows just how useless this guy is.

Then, he glanced down into the crater and said seriously, "The surface of this crater is covered by ice, but in reality, there is another layer underneath."

"It was only after breaking through the ice that I discovered something unusual about the layer below, which led me to suspect the existence of 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystals' here!"

"Come down with me and search carefully inside. You must find the 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystal'!"

After saying that, he took the lead and jumped into the crater.

The others exchanged glances, but still followed closely behind, not daring to fall behind.

Soon, Wuxin followed Bass and his group and crawled into a gap in the ice on the upper layer of the crater.

After penetrating nearly 100 meters deeper into the ice, they arrived at another interlayered space beneath the ice.

"It's so cool!"

Feeling the astonishing chill here, Wu Xin couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Even while attached to the ghost, he could still feel the bone-chilling cold beneath the ice.

Even he felt the cold, let alone Bass and his group.

Bass's five subordinates were only at the beginner level of Bronze, barely able to use the power of their Cosmos.

Faced with this frigid environment, they were immediately shivering all over, and even their eyebrows and hair were covered with frost.

“The temperature here is so abnormal, it’s very likely caused by the ‘Frost Soul Ice Crystal’! Even if it isn’t… it’s very likely some kind of special treasure!” the woman in the group said in a trembling yet excited voice.

"No...that's right! There's definitely treasure here!" the others agreed.

Once they enter the realm of the extraordinary, the mundane world loses its appeal, because they can easily obtain what they want, just as Ed did.

Nowadays, the only things that can still attract them are extraordinary treasures and things that can improve their strength.

"Now that we know the answer, let's hurry up and start searching!" Bass reminded them, and then immediately sped off forward.

Upon seeing this, the others each chose a direction and began to search separately.

"Let me think about it and see what exactly this so-called 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystal' is!"

This time, Wu Xin didn't follow the others. Instead, she locked onto a direction and went there alone.

His strength far surpassed that of Bass and the others, and his senses were also much sharper. In particular, he possessed the power of ice, making him extremely sensitive to the flow of cold air and temperature changes. He easily located the source of the icy chill in the subsurface layer.

Before long, Wuxin followed the flow of cold air and arrived at the foot of a huge ice pillar.

The icicle connected two layers of ice, reaching a height of nearly ten meters, and its diameter at the ground exceeded five meters, making it exceptionally thick.

More importantly, Wu Xin could clearly sense that it was the ice pillar in front of him that was constantly releasing coldness, creating the extreme cold in the entire interlayer beneath the ice.

Will the 'Frosty Ice Crystal' be here?

With a hint of curiosity, he released his senses and carefully searched the icicle.

Soon, about five meters above the ground, he saw a deep blue color that was completely different from the pale ice pillar.

"what is that?"

He quickly focused his senses, preparing to delve deeper into the ice pillar to investigate.

But at that moment, something unusual happened on the icicle.

A large block of ice bulged out from the ice pillar and transformed into a head, which vigilantly scanned the surroundings with its icy eyes.

"There's even a guardian? It must be a truly precious treasure!" Wu Xin exclaimed in amazement.

Without a doubt, the ice head that materialized on the ice pillar was the guardian hidden here, protecting the treasure inside the ice pillar.

More importantly, Wu Xin also sensed that the other party was emanating a powerful aura of their inner universe, which had reached the level of the seventh sense.

"This time, there's going to be some excitement!" He immediately abandoned his plan to retrieve the treasure.

Given Bass and his group's strength, they certainly wouldn't be able to obtain the treasures here, so their next step would be to ask for help from above.

Faced with a guardian possessing the power of the Seventh Sense, the forces behind Bass and the others must deploy an equal fighting force to deal with him.

At this level of combat power, he must have already entered the core of the enemy's ranks, and he will have the opportunity to conduct further in-depth investigations.

Perhaps because they couldn't find the invisible Wuxin, the guardian on the stone pillar was getting impatient.

It opened its mouth wide and immediately exhaled a stream of extremely cold air, which washed over the ground.

"Danger!"

Upon seeing this, Wuxin dared not linger any longer and hurriedly manipulated the ghost to retreat quickly.

Being able to become invisible as a ghost does not mean you are immune to attacks.

If you retreat too slowly, you will definitely be frozen in place.

He retreated nearly a hundred meters to create a safe distance before stopping.

Meanwhile, after washing the area around the ice pillar with cold air several times, no trace of the intruder was found. The guardian on the ice pillar disappeared into the pillar once again.

"That guy is quite strong, it seems I'll have to use my true form too!"

After taking one last look at the ice pillar, Wu Xin controlled his ghostly form to quickly return along the way he came.

On the other side, after searching for a long time in the ice's inner layers, Bass and the others finally found the huge ice pillar and saw the faint blue color inside it.

"That's it, that's it! That's the 'Frosty Ice Crystal' that the adults asked us to find!" Bass was overjoyed when he saw it.

Because the faint blue hue within the icicle before him was exactly the same as the pattern of the 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystal' he had seen before.

Just as he was about to climb the ice pillar to retrieve it, he seemed to remember something and quickly suppressed his excitement, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "You guys, hurry up and get the 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystal' down!"

"Yes!"

The younger member of the group was equally excited. Without thinking too much, he immediately leaped up and landed on the ice pillar.

Chapter 189 The Ice Giant

Just as the young man excitedly reached out to break the ice pillar and retrieve the glittering blue liquid inside, the ice pillar beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble.

"Huh?"

He was startled and looked down to see that several small icicles had suddenly risen from the icicle beneath his feet.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the small icicles suddenly closed in on him.

"Danger!"

Sensing something was wrong, he hurriedly tried to escape.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The five small icicles suddenly closed together, trapping the young man in the center.

"what--"

The young man, in pain, couldn't help but scream.

"Hurry up and save people!"

Upon seeing this, Bass quickly raised his hand and unleashed a punch of energy. The others, a beat slower, also unleashed their own punches of energy to provide remote support.

Rumble!

The black fist energy of the crowd landed on the ice pillar, but failed to leave any mark, only barely shaking off a few ice shards on the surface.

At this moment, as the five ice pillars continued to close in, the young man trapped in the center was completely deformed, and his screams came to an abrupt end.

His body was crushed, and he died on the spot.

Even with his black battle suit protecting him, it was to no avail. Bright red blood flowed from the cracks in the ice pillars, staining all five pillars red.

"Lord Bass, what happened?" Seeing their companion die tragically, the four of them turned to look at their leader.

"I do not know either!"

Bass shook his head, his expression unusually grave as he stared at the bloodstains on the icicle.

Just then, the icicle began to vibrate again, and the vibration was even more intense than before.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the five small ice pillars continue to rise from the large ice pillar, eventually transforming into the shape of a giant ice hand.
