Gu Ning recognized a mottled mark from the copper rust on the bronze ice wall. It was exactly the same as the mark on the pottery piece he had just found.

In other words, the thing that Gu Ning had just picked up was more than 2,000 years old. No human had left it behind.

It was a piece of debris on the giant frozen bronze door in front of Gu Ning and the red dragon queen!

“It’s strange that there’s a giant frozen door like this under the ice pond in the legendary Ice Lake Mountains,” Gu Ning said.

The red dragon queen speculated, “There are two possibilities. The first is that the familiar we’re looking for is a giant beast more than ten meters tall. It built the door.”

“The second possibility is that the gate was man-made. It’s possible that many years ago, people were afraid of such a beast and built such a prison for it before the ice pool was frozen.”

Hearing the second possibility, Gu Ning clapped her hands. She immediately thought of the residents in the small town at the foot of the mountain.

He said, “Could it be that the reason why the residents didn’t want to tell us the location of the ice pool mountain range is because the ancestors of the residents were the ones who built this place?”

The red dragon queen nodded, “It’s very possible.”

The two could only guess, but they couldn’t prove it. However, no matter what happened, one thing was certain.

The familiar that Gu Ning was looking for must be very powerful! Otherwise, they would not have had to go through so much trouble to come to the Ice Lake at the top of the Ice Lake Mountain Range!

Gu Ning went up and touched the frozen bronze door. When he touched it, the flame shield around him also burned the ice on the bronze door.

However, it was obviously impossible to melt the ice on the door. It proved that the ice here was colder than the ice on the lake.

However, for the red dragon queen who had trained her flame to the extreme, it was a piece of cake. “Master, stay away. Xiao Hong needs to put in some effort.”

The red dragon queen clenched her right hand, and a fireball appeared in her hand. After the fireball appeared, it continued to increase its intensity. The color of the flame became darker and darker.

Finally, the red dragon queen waved her right hand, and a fireball formed with extremely strong flames. It directly blew a big hole in the frozen bronze door!

The sound was so loud that it reverberated through the entire bottom of the water. It was even more powerful than the deep-water mines that Gu Ning had seen on TV in his previous world!

The frozen bronze door was broken through by the red dragon queen. Gu Ning followed the red dragon queen into the door in surprise.

It was still dark inside the door, but the fire generated by the red dragon queen’s flame shield could light up the place. It was a large palace.

There were all kinds of human-shaped skeletons inside. Apparently, many people had been here for many years. They had wanted to take the familiars inside the palace as Gu Ning did.

However, these people never expected to die here. Gu Ning did not have to spend much effort to get here.

“So many people died just to take the familiar. I wonder if we can catch it. What a shame,” Gu Ning could not help sighing.

“But Xiao Hong, look. The body over there hasn’t turned into a skeleton yet. It’s relatively fresh.”

The red dragon queen followed Gu Ning’s gaze. She said in disbelief, “That’s not a human body. It’s a blue poison ice ant. One bite from them could kill.”

Gu Ning: “???”

That was not a human body, but a real ant! At the same time, the ants on the skeleton suddenly moved. A thick fog started to spread in the darkness!

In the thick fog, a group of blue creatures the size of a fist rushed out like a tide!

A blue poison ice ant could kill with a single bite. Gu Ning estimated that there were at least 100,000 of them!

The red dragon queen did not even look at them. She put her hand in front of her body and opened her palm. The next moment, a strong flame spread out!

The red dragon queen’s hand seemed to have turned into an enlarged flamethrower. It released a strong temperature and burned all the ants!

“Ants are ants. No matter how many there are, it’s useless.” The Red Dragon Queen blew on her fingers as if she had just blown smoke after shooting a gun.

“Have you seen enough over there? Why don’t you come out yourself? Do you want me to find you myself?” The Red Dragon Queen suddenly said to a corner.

Gu Ning followed her gaze. There was indeed a creature hiding there. It was the familiar they were looking for!

“On the count of three. If you still don’t come out, I’ll burn you too.” The Red Dragon Queen raised three fingers and started counting. “One, two…”

Just as the Red Dragon Queen was about to count to three, the creature in the corner finally appeared!

Gu Ning looked over excitedly. He wanted to see what kind of creature she had come all the way here to catch. A Lion? A polar bear? An Ice Phoenix?

Gu Ning was extremely excited. However, when he saw the creature’s real face, he was immediately disappointed. The creature was barely as large as his calf.

Because it was a silkworm!

“We came all the way here to catch a silkworm… it’s such a shame!” Gu Ning said in disbelief.

As soon as Gu Ning finished complaining, a voice suddenly rebuked him:

“What do you mean it’s just a silkworm? Boy, I’m older than you. Show some respect! I’ve lived for two thousand years, I’m a millennium ice silkworm!”

That’s right, it was the silkworm that spoke.

“A talking beast?”

Gu Ning was shocked. Before this, the only talking beast that Gu Ning knew was Xiao Hong, who had lived in the world of gods for 100,000 years.

“Of course! I’m older than you. Of course, I can talk! Do you know how many people have died for me?” The ice silkworm said proudly.

Gu Ning looked at the ice silkworm, then at Xiao Hong. After thinking for a while, he said, “I’ll trust my Xiao Hong for once. Then I’ll choose you as my second contracted beast!”

“Contracted beast? Are you kidding me?”

The ice silkworm couldn’t believe it. “Bah! I won’t be anyone’s contracted beast, let alone a kid like you.”

Gu Ning asked, “Are you sure you won’t be my contracted beast?”

The ice silkworm replied, “No! I won’t be your contracted beast! Even if I starve to death and jump down from here, I won’t be your contracted beast!”

Gu Ning nodded, then turned around and called out, “Xiao Hong.”

The fire suddenly lit up in the red dragon queen’s hand. At first glance, it looked like a boss of a gang pulling out his knife. The millennium ice silkworm turned to flee.

The red dragon queen directly threw four fireballs at it, blocking its way.

The millennium ice silkworm looked at the wall of fire around it. It could only tremble and wait for death.

Gu Ning approached the thousand-year-old ice silkworm. At the same time, he built a soul circuit on her finger and pointed it at the thousand-year-old ice silkworm’s forehead. Both of them had a voice in their hearts:

Do you agree to sign the contract?

The thousand-year-old ice silkworm looked at the red dragon queen and nodded.

Not long after, a white light flashed:

“The contract has been signed.”
