As the red dragon queen had said, with the red dragon queen by his side, Gu Ning felt as if he had installed a signal jammer!
The two traveled smoothly! Some unlucky beasts that could not stop themselves appeared in front of Gu Ning. The red dragon queen glared at them! They did not dare to breathe or even drool!
Gu Ning even wondered if the red dragon queen had scared away the familiar they were looking for.
The red dragon queen comforted Gu Ning. The pressure released by the red dragon queen was just to avoid them getting mauled.
The red dragon queen also promised that she would return to her original appearance when they came upon the familiar.
Gu Ning nodded. The only thing he had to worry about now was the cold, but he did not have to worry about that since he had made a contract with the red dragon queen.
They climbed over hills and over cliffs.
Gu Ning could not help but sigh. He never expected himself, who had never done rock climbing before, to feel so relaxed.
It was all thanks to the help of Xiao Hong, who was a god-level contract beast, that he never tired after doing so many things. The cold wind did not even make Gu Ning, who was only wearing a simple jacket, feel cold!
Finally, they reached the top of the mountain.
Gu Ning really thought that he would be able to find his second subdued beast and make a contract with it..
The scene in front of him was different from what Gu Ning had imagined.
There was no sign of life here. There was only a snowstorm and a large frozen lake! It looked extremely desolate.
“This is the peak of the frozen lake,” the red dragon queen said.
“That is the frozen lake of the heavenly lake at absolute zero degrees.”
The vast lake was frozen. Gu Ning could not even see the border of the lake. He wondered if he was in the Pacific Ocean or the Indian Ocean in his original world!
However, unlike ordinary lake water, this lake was completely frozen!
No wonder this place was called the Ice Lake Mountain Range. It was because there was such a vast ice lake at the top of the mountain, Gu Ning thought to himself.
But then, Gu Ning had a guess, “Xiao Hong, is the familiar we’ve been looking for…”
The red dragon queen nodded and answered, “Yes, Xiao Hong can feel it. We’re looking for the familiar under the Ice Lake.”
“But how do we get down there?” Gu Ning continued to walk forward. He stepped on the frozen surface of the lake and found that it was really hard.
Even though Gu Ning had never been out of the federal base, he knew that the surface of the lake was much harder than ordinary ice! Even if he could break through the ice, how could he get into the lake?
The surface of the lake was already frozen. Imagine how cold the lake was? Gu Ning would be rushed to the hospital after taking two baths!
“Don’t worry, master. I’m here.”
The Red Dragon Queen patted her full chest. Then she waved her hand. Suddenly, a ball of fire appeared in the air.
The fire enveloped Gu Ning and the red dragon queen like a bubble. It formed a shield of flame, separating Gu Ning and the red dragon queen from the outside world!
Gu Ning, who was covered by the flame shield, also felt the warmth of the flame shield. It was as if he had returned to the Blue Star Federation from the icy mountain range in a flash.
Everything in the flame shield quieted down. The air was filled with the sound of two intertwined heartbeats.
“Master, we’re starting to fall.” The Red Dragon Queen held Gu Ning’s hands. After saying that, she led Gu Ning to jump down into the Icy Lake!
Looking at the frozen ice, Gu Ning still had some concerns. Under normal circumstances, Gu Ning would definitely crash into the hard ice!
Fortunately, Gu Ning’s concerns were soon dispelled, because the red dragon Queen’s Flame Shield melted the ice in an instant!
The flame directly evaporated the ice into steam. The two jumped directly from the ice to the water. Gu Ning did not feel any cold until they went into the water.
On the contrary, while they were falling, Gu Ning could still see their flame shield turning the ice into water vapor.
Xiao Hong’s flame shield was too strong!
Gu Ning could not help but comment on it.
The two kept falling deeper into the water.
By right, it was quite dangerous to dive deep. The deeper they went, the less air pressure and oxygen would be in the water. Human bodies would suffer.
They reached the bottom of the water. The storm was filtered by the 50-meter water layer, leaving only gentle waves.
“What’s this?” Upon landing, Gu Ning stepped on something. He bent down to pick it up. It was a piece of pottery with ancient patterns on its surface.
The red dragon queen took a look and answered,
“This thing is at least 2,000 years old. It should have been left behind by humans from a long time ago. It proves that the familiar we’re looking for isn’t too shabby.”
“Let Xiao Hong look harder.”
The red dragon queen closed her eyes. A group of snakes appeared on the surface of her body. They were formed from flames, representing the group of snakes that represented her thoughts.
The group of snakes in the depths of her thoughts was released. The snakes flowed along the red dragon queen’s limbs and bones. In the end, they surged out and disappeared into the water.
She observed the world with her “snake” eyes. Through her eyes, the world was made up of countless tiny pipes. The pipes intersected and separated, extending endlessly.
Finally, she saw the destination of their trip.
“A wall. From top to bottom, from left to right, it appears to have no visible end. You’ll never reach the border. It’s quite vast,” the red dragon queen said lightly.
Gu Ning followed the red dragon queen to the place.
In the end, Gu Ning was stunned.
It was not that Gu Ning had not seen the world before, but Gu Ning was sure that anyone who saw the bronze wall in front of him would be shocked.
Deep in the water, the pair held each other’s hands tightly. They were floating in the blue and white water, looking up.
The Flame Shield was shining, but now it was lost in the blue and white water. They could not see the end of the wall.
In front of them, there was a huge bronze wall covered in ice. It stretched up, down, left, and right. It seemed endless, making Gu Ning feel smaller than ever.
