277: The combination of ice and fire is so magical, this live stream is truly surreal.
"This livestream is better than any variety show; it's too thrilling, it feels just like watching a movie."
Inside the cave, Ye Bai watched the Ice Silkworm, not daring to act rashly for the moment.
He knew he had to find the right opportunity before making a move.
Just then, Ye Bai heard a faint sound of footsteps.
His heart tightened; could there be more danger?
He looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound, only to see Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi walking toward him cautiously.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait outside?" Ye Bai's tone carried a hint of helplessness.
Yang Mi said with a worried face, "Brother Ye, we really couldn't stop worrying about you, so we came in to check."
Meng Ziyi also said, "Brother Ye, we want to help you too."
Ye Bai frowned and said, "It's very dangerous here; you need to leave immediately."
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi shook their heads and said firmly, "We won't leave; we want to face this with you."
Seeing their stubborn expressions, Ye Bai felt a slight stir in his heart, but still said sternly, "This isn't a place for you; be good and get out of here quickly."
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi still refused to leave. Yang Mi said, "Brother Ye, we aren't afraid of danger; we believe you can protect us."
Meng Ziyi also chimed in, "That's right, Brother Ye, let's think of a way to deal with this Ice Silkworm together."
Ye Bai sighed helplessly and said, "Fine, since you're here, just be careful. This Ice Silkworm is very powerful; we can't take it head-on."
The three of them began to discuss a strategy.
Yang Mi looked at the Ice Silkworm and asked, "Brother Ye, does this Ice Silkworm have any weaknesses?"
Ye Bai thought for a moment and said, "The Ice Silkworm's abdomen is soft, but its attacks are fierce. We need to find a way to divert its attention, then look for an opportunity to attack its abdomen."
Meng Ziyi asked, "Then how do we divert its attention?"
Ye Bai thought about it and said, "We can use something to attract its attention, like a stone or a torch."
No sooner said than done, Ye Bai picked up a stone and threw it at the Ice Silkworm.
The stone hit the Ice Silkworm's body with a dull thud, but it was not attracted by it.
"It seems this Ice Silkworm isn't easily distracted," Ye Bai said, frowning.
Yang Mi suddenly thought of a method and said, "Brother Ye, we can use a torch to attract its attention. The Ice Silkworm might be afraid of fire."
Ye Bai nodded and said, "We can try that method."
They found some branches and made a torch.
Yang Mi took the torch and approached the Ice Silkworm cautiously.
When the torch neared the Ice Silkworm, it was indeed attracted.
It stared at the torch, seemingly contemplating something.
"Now!" Ye Bai shouted and struck quickly.
Yang Mi was on the sidelines, ready to act; she had also been prepared.
Seeing this, Yang Mi quickly threw the torch in her hand...
Boom!
Instantly, a raging fire ignited, illuminating the entire cave chamber.
At the same time, Yang Mi dashed toward the Ice Silkworm.
The Ice Silkworm, startled, immediately twisted its body and crawled to the side.
Yang Mi seized the opportunity to mount its back.
Ye Bai also lunged over, and the two of them joined forces to pin down the behemoth.
"Roar!" The Ice Silkworm struggled violently.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi held onto the Ice Silkworm tightly, preventing it from escaping.
The Ice Silkworm struggled violently, and unable to withstand the immense force, Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi fell to the ground.
The Ice Silkworm took the opportunity to escape.
Ye Bai, quick-eyed and nimble-handed, immediately threw the copper coin.
It struck the Ice Silkworm exactly at its seven-inch mark.
The Ice Silkworm immediately let out a painful and shrill scream.
Ye Bai quickly went over and used his Dagger to sever the Ice Silkworm's neck.
Afterward, he retrieved the Ice Silkworm and tossed it into his Storage Ring.
Having finished all this, Ye Bai let out a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Ye, you're truly amazing!" Meng Ziyi looked at Ye Bai with excitement and admiration.
Ye Bai smiled faintly.
"Let's go!" After packing up his equipment, Ye Bai prepared to leave this godforsaken place.
"Wait!" Just then, Yang Mi suddenly blocked Ye Bai's path.
"Hmm? What is it?" Ye Bai stopped in his tracks and asked, puzzled.
Yang Mi looked around with a grave expression and said, "Brother Ye, let's not be in such a hurry to leave; we need to check if there are any mechanisms here."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai nodded as well.
He also raised his vigilance and carefully inspected the surroundings.
After a while, the two confirmed there were no mechanisms.
"Brother Ye, you go out first," Yang Mi said to Ye Bai.
Ye Bai nodded and walked out.
After walking just a few steps, Yang Mi chased after him and hugged Ye Bai tightly from behind.
"What are you doing? Let go quickly!" Ye Bai's face flushed red, and he hurriedly scolded.
His heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Yang Mi whispered, "Brother Ye, I like you. I want to be with you!"
With that, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Ye Bai's lips.
Ye Bai's mind went blank, and then he was forcefully pushed away by Yang Mi.
Yang Mi gave Ye Bai a shy glance and then ran out.
Ye Bai touched the lips that Yang Mi had kissed, his heart pounding.
This feeling was truly strange, but he couldn't refuse it, nor was he willing to refuse it.
Ye Bai took a deep breath, cast aside distracting thoughts, and also walked out of the stone cave.
Outside, it was still pitch black.
Ye Bai lit a Candle, and by the light of the Candle, he continued to explore outward.
This Passage was spacious enough, and the deeper he went, the lower the temperature seemed to become.
This made Ye Bai's breathing more difficult.
After walking for nearly half an hour, a glimmer of light finally appeared ahead.
Ye Bai's spirits lifted, and he immediately hurried over.
Soon, Ye Bai exited the Passage and stood in front of a huge palace.
From inside the palace, a gust of cold wind blew out.
Ye Bai couldn't help but shiver, but he was immediately overjoyed, because he saw many Antiques and paintings inside the palace, all lying scattered on the ground.
Ye Bai immediately squatted down and counted them one by one, finally confirming that they were all genuine.
Although these Antiques and paintings couldn't be considered rare treasures, they made up for it in sheer quantity!
And they were all worth a fortune.
If he could sell these paintings, he would at least be able to cover his younger siblings' living expenses.
However, Ye Bai did not immerse himself in the immense wealth; instead, he sank into a state of sorrow and worry.
He knew that the wealth he now possessed had already attracted some kind of entity.
Keeping these Antiques and paintings would sooner or later bring about a fatal disaster for him.
On this point, Ye Bai was very clear-headed.
Ye Bai packed all the paintings into his Storage Ring, then categorized them and set them aside.
He brushed the dust off his palms, stood up, and said to the three women, "Let's go."
"Brother Ye, how did you discover the secret of that valley?" Yang Mi asked Ye Bai, full of curiosity.
The other two women also looked at Ye Bai, waiting for the answer.
"I guessed it!" Ye Bai was slightly taken aback, then said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, all three women rolled their eyes.
Yang Mi asked again, "Since you guessed this secret, you must know even more secrets."
