Chapter 1266: Trapped in a Cage

.."The dragon of space before opened its maw wide, unleashing a torrent of energy imbued with unparalleled might.Fang Yu's left palm rose, and he also unleashed a wave of divine power!"Boom!"Two spell...During his conversation with the Tears of Frost, Fang Yu continuously cast healing spells, allowing the wounds on Red Lotus's body to recover rapidly.

After nearly half an hour, Fang Yu woke up Honglian using his divine sense.

The red lotus opened her eyes and looked at Fang Yu before her. She sat up.

At this moment, she felt much better.

At least when I set out, the aches and pains from all over my body lessened considerably.

"How are you feeling" Fang Yu asked.

"It's fine," replied Honoka.

"Then you should leave the Far North on your own first." Fang Yu said, "I have other things to do and need to head eastward."

"East" Honglian's red eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked towards the east.

On all sides lay a boundless expanse of snow. There was nothing else to be seen.

"I'll go with you." Honglian said.

"Forget it, in case of danger, I'll have to look after you." Fang Yu said.

"I've recovered about six or seven out of ten," Honglian frowned, "Don't worry, you won't be implicated."

"What lies deep within the far north, no one can say for sure..." Fang Yu said.

However, Honglian had already stood up.

"I said, I won't drag you down," Honglian said coldly.

Fang Yu knew Hong Lian's temper, so he could only helplessly get up and said: "Alright then, just follow me."

……

The two flew towards the east together.

Along the way, the two moved with incredible speed.

The swirling snow and the frigid surroundings seemed to have no effect on them.

But after flying eastward at this speed for almost an hour, the surrounding scenery hadn't changed much. They were still in the snowy expanse.

As for the trace of coldness that Fang Yu could sense, it didn't strengthen; it was still very subtle.

"Are you lost" Fang Yu frowned, confused.

At his and Crimson Lotus's speed, after an hour of flying, they had already covered at least a thousand kilometers.

How deep does the heart of the ice age go

According to the map, the length from south to north could be several thousand to tens of thousands of kilometers, but the width from west to east... seems to be less than two thousand kilometers.

"Two thousand kilometers, then keep flying another thousand kilometers to see..." Fang Yu thought.

Thus, Fang Yu continued to accelerate.

said nothing, her wings on her back flapping as she followed Fang Yu.

The speed accelerated once again, and this time, it covered nearly a thousand kilometers in just half an hour.

However, before them still lay a vast expanse of white snow, not even a single snow-capped mountain in sight.

This is obviously not normal.

Even if they flew in the wrong direction, it would be impossible not to encounter a snow-capped mountain during a journey of nearly two thousand kilometers.

Remember, this is the Arctic!

"Is there something wrong" Honglian looked at Fang Yu and asked.

"Hmm, I'll look into it."

Fāng Yǔ ascended to the high sky, releasing his divine consciousness to all around.

From the perspective of spiritual exploration, there are no abnormalities.

But it is precisely because there is no abnormality that it appears abnormal.

"Could it be an illusion"

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, his pupils flashed crimson, and the golden cross sword slowly rotated within them.

When the divine sense cannot detect abnormalities, we can only rely on the Insight Eye.

As expected, under the gaze of Insight's Eye, Fang Yu immediately saw something out of the ordinary.

At this moment, he and Honglian... were actually inside something that resembled a cage!

And beyond the cage, there was a temple.

Looking ahead, there is a huge snow sculpture!

At least two hundred meters tall, humanoid in shape, but the location of its head... was strangely shaped.

It looked like a cobra's head, with eyes that glowed an eerie green.

Right now, this snow sculpture stands before the cage where Fang Yu and Honglian are held. Its glowing green eyes seem to be staring straight ahead, yet they also give one the feeling of being directly observed!

"What in the world is this place"

Fāngyǔ frowned and turned his head to look around.

Then he saw, on either side of the cage, two rows of strange men in black-purple cloaks, standing like priests.

Fang Yu took a closer look and found that all these sacrificial figures looked similar, resembling the gigantic snow sculpture in front of them.

Human-shaped, with a cobra-like head...

Snake Head Worship

What the heck is this

As for behind the cage, there was a gate. Beyond the gate seemed to be a snowy path sloping downwards...

After observing the real situation around him, Fang Yu knew that he and Honglian... had already fallen into a trap.

As to when he was put in, or walked into this cage… it's really hard to say.

As he sped along, he was preoccupied with other thoughts and wasn't paying much attention to his surroundings.

Could it be... that he and Crimson Lotus never actually left that tunnel

Upon thinking this, Fang Yu's heart fluttered.

If that were truly the case, wouldn't everything that happened after bursting out of the tunnel be nothing but a figment of our imagination

But thinking about it that way doesn't quite seem right...

"This reaction is too slow." Fang Yu tapped his forehead and said.

"What's wrong"

At this moment, Honglian flew to Fang Yu's side and asked in confusion.

Speaking of which, this cage is pretty impressive.

Fang Yu and Honglian both have extremely strong perception abilities, they didn't even know when they entered this cage.

Is this an illusionary artifact

Then, the other party locked Fang Yu and Honglian in, but didn't attack. What were they trying to do

"What's wrong" Honglian asked again.

Fang Yu came back to his senses and said, "We've been put in a cage."

"...What!” Honglian was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed slightly, thinking that Fang Yu was joking.

But the next second, as the golden cross sword in Fang Yu's eyes spun faster and faster, the surrounding scene shattered like glass.

Then, it revealed its true form.

Fang Yu and Honglian were both within a cage, facing a gigantic serpent-headed human snow sculpture.

And on either side, there stood two rows of snake-head sacrificial figures bowing their heads slightly, a total of sixty.

As for the cage, it was about five meters high and circular in shape, with a diameter of about twenty meters.

Fang Yu and Honglian had just flown two thousand kilometers... In fact, they were doing so within a phantom realm created by the cage.

Red Lotus looked around, her face full of shock.

"We were swindled for an hour and a half in total. We stood there the whole time, clueless, it's a bit embarrassing." Fang Yu said.

Honglian stared at the giant snow sculpture of a serpent-headed man before her, her eyes wide with shock.

"What is this" asked Red Lotus.

"I was just about to ask," Fang Yu said, "Since neither of us knows, let's just ask it directly."

Then, Fang Yu took a deep breath, amplified his voice with his true qi, and shouted, “Who are you Why have you brought us here What do you want”

The sound, carried by true qi and radiating outwards, even possessed a sense of authority. It echoed within this temple-like space.

However, there was no response.

The snow sculpture in the front remained motionless, its eyes still glowing green.

And the serpent heads flanking the altar, still maintain a slightly bowed posture, remaining in a state of stillness.

"Well, if you're not going to respond, we're leaving."

Even Fang Yu didn't move.

Since he had already activated his Insight Eye, he casually used its power to twist the fence ahead into a curved opening large enough for four or five people to pass through.

"Gone."

Fang Yu said to Honglian, who was stunned behind him.

Then Fang Yu swaggered toward the opening ahead.

Hong Lian came back to her senses and followed Fang Yu closely.

Just as the two were about to walk out of the cell, a sudden change occurred.

Two motionless snake heads, used in a sacrifice, suddenly uttered a low whisper at the same time, as if reciting an incantation.

As Fang Yu recited the incantation, the fence that had been forcibly distorted before him by the Eye of Insight slowly began to repair itself.

"If you're going to keep us locked in here, don't blame me."

Fang Yu's eyes turned cold, the golden cross sword in his pupils suddenly flared.

"Bang!"

At that moment, the entire cage exploded…disintegrating into countless particles as fine as dust!

The snake-headed sacrifice with chanting on both sides abruptly stopped.

Fang Yu looked up and gazed at the massive snow sculpture in front of him.

"Boom..."

At this moment, the snake head on top of the snow sculpture moved.

It lowered its head slightly, its emerald eyes fixed on Fang Yu.

At this moment, it seemed to encounter some kind of intangible attack.

The golden cross sword in Fang Yu's pupils burst forth with an unprecedented radiance!r a high-blooded demon clan member! In front of him, I'm utterly helpless!" Lan Qingfeng's handsome face was filled with resentment as he nearly roared at the Reverse Fate Orb floating before him.The...
