Chapter 2699: Extreme Cold Ice Coffin

After staying in the valley for three days, the three young aliens had almost gathered what they needed and were about to leave with Lin Feng and the others. However, at that moment, Tangyuan flew over from a distance, panting, and said to Lin Feng, "Boss, boss, there’s a strange cave upfront. I feel there’s something good there."

Hearing Tangyuan’s words, Lin Feng and the others walked in the direction of the cave. Not far away, they found a hidden ice cave leading underground in a secluded part of the valley.

Lin Feng could feel waves of cold qi rising from the cave, and he could distinctly sense something unusual about it, certain that there was something odd. Just as he was about to step in, he was stopped by the three young aliens, who shook their heads and said to Lin Feng, "Danger."

"What danger?" Lin Feng looked at the aliens, their expressions somewhat terrified. Could there be demon beasts inside?

"We explored this place before, but died." The aliens said. Their people were already few in number, so no one dared to explore it again afterward.

"How did they die?" Lin Feng asked.

"Frozen into ice sculptures."

Frozen to death? Lin Feng was very puzzled. The aliens had such strong bodies and were accustomed to living in this climate. What kind of temperature could freeze aliens to death? This made Lin Feng even more curious, and he insisted on going in to take a look.

Seeing that Lin Feng was still unwilling to leave, they could only shake their heads helplessly, turn around, and continue picking spirit fruits in the valley.

Lin Feng felt the matter was really strange, but he was too curious. He looked at the Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon and Nether Thunder Heaven Devouring Tiger and said, "I don’t know what dangers are inside. You and Tangyuan wait outside, I’ll go in alone."

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the two great demon venerables and Tangyuan could only nod. Although they were demon beasts with strong cold resistance, they decided to wait outside after hearing that even powerful aliens were frozen to death inside.

Carefully walking into the ice cave, Lin Feng realized the temperature here was indeed much colder than outside, but not enough to freeze someone to death. After walking along the ice cave for an hour, he finally saw two frozen alien bodies in front of him. Observing from a distance, Lin Feng found these two alien corpses extremely strange. The ice sculptures were fused with the ground and emitted waves of cold qi. As he got closer, he noticed the two ice sculptures’ eyes were indifferent, as if they had been frozen to death in an instant.

What on earth is going on?

Carefully examining the ice sculptures, Lin Feng finally discovered something strange. At the edge of the ice sculptures, there was a layer of transparent barrier. This transparent barrier acted like an invisible wall, separating the ice cave from the inside. The temperature inside was even ten times colder than outside. These two must have unknowingly crossed into the critical point, causing the sudden drop in temperature and their immediate death.

This situation can’t be handled recklessly, or he’d end up like these two aliens, instantly frozen to death. Thinking of this, Lin Feng activated the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique, immediately causing nine sunbursts to emerge and line up in the narrow ice cave. The temperature suddenly rose, and a flame ignited on him. With the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique circulating within, he felt he could now adapt to the surrounding temperature, but he still didn’t know what lay inside.

Engulfed in raging flames, Lin Feng stepped into the barrier. Even with the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique protecting him, he felt an extremely cold aura. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and frost flowers formed densely on the ice surfaces on both sides of the cave. Because it was so cold, cracks even started appearing on the ice.

What kind of place is this? Lin Feng felt this unnatural cold was very eerie, sensing something hidden in the ice cave. It was either some extremely cold treasure or the tomb of a powerful being.

As Lin Feng continued walking along the ice cave, overhead ice crystals formed icicles extending downward, resembling stalactites. Not long after, Lin Feng finally sensed a strong aura. The flames on his body started to waver, as if about to extinguish. He stood firm, accelerating the circulation of the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique to stabilize the flames.

He then continued deeper into the cave, and not long after, he arrived at a spacious ice chamber. In the center stood an ice coffin emitting a soft blue light. Lin Feng confirmed that the chilly aura was emanating from this casket, and the entire chamber was shrouded in the faint blue cold qi. He finally understood that this dharma treasure was causing the disturbance.

From a distance, Lin Feng observed the ice coffin, not hastily approaching. Amazed, he found that the casket was exquisitely crafted. Made from millennia-old ice, it was a single piece carved with no seams, undoubtedly formed through ice-fire refinement. Even as an artifact refiner, he thought he couldn’t replicate such craftsmanship, illustrating the extraordinary skill of the master who crafted this ice coffin.

Thinking about this, he became even more curious about the person lying inside the coffin and slowly approached. To his astonishment, the ice coffin contained a girl who appeared to be in her teens. Her face was snow-white, with eyes tightly shut and long lashes, looking no different from a human girl. However, Lin Feng sensed she definitely didn’t have a human aura.

Closely examining, Lin Feng found that although the girl looked human, she exuded the same power of death as the village chief and the others. Could this girl be an alien?

Lin Feng reached out and touched the girl’s pulse. He found that her pulse had stopped, but strangely, if she were dead, he shouldn’t be able to sense a strong aura. What exactly was going on? He had a bold hypothesis: perhaps she was a half-breed of humans and the Alien Race. Even though there was no pulse, her bodily functions still existed, accurately speaking, sealed by something. He felt this little girl was extremely weak, extremely yin and cold. Who exactly was she? Why was she in this place?

Lin Feng’s heart was filled with doubts, but he guessed that this girl’s relatives must have had no choice but to seal her here. So, he took a piece of ice from the side and wrote some words on it with his hand. He thought that if the girl’s parents were human, they would recognize these characters. He left a message: "My name is Lin Feng, I can save her, contact me if needed."

Then he took a Communication Talisman from the space and placed it next to the ice coffin. For some reason, he felt the owner of this ice coffin would definitely come looking for him.

Surveying his surroundings, besides the ice blocks, there was nothing else, so Lin Feng left this ice cave.

As soon as he exited the ice cave, Tangyuan flew over. Not knowing what the Boss had found, he eagerly asked, "Boss, what’s in there?"

"Just a coffin," Lin Feng said calmly.

"Did you take it?" Tangyuan asked. He could sense that this was definitely not an ordinary treasure of nature and earth, it was surely something good.

"No, there was a little girl inside..." Lin Feng explained the situation to Tangyuan and the two Great Demon Venerables as they walked out of the valley.

When three young members of the Alien Race saw Lin Feng entering the ice cave and emerging safely, they were all incredulous. However, they said nothing, accompanying Lin Feng back to the village.

After returning to the village, the village chief arranged for the three young men to go to Yancheng to exchange spirit fruits for bones. Lin Feng was always preoccupied with thoughts of the ice coffin, wanting to know exactly who the little girl was and why she was hidden in such a secluded place.

The village chief walked up to Lin Feng, sensing Lin Feng appeared preoccupied since his return, he took the initiative to ask Lin Feng, "Did something happen?"

Lin Feng glanced at the village chief, deciding not to hide the matter. Since the ice cave was closest to this village, the village chief might know something, so he asked directly, "Did humans ever live in the village again?"

What?

Hearing Lin Feng ask this, the village chief was first surprised and then asked, "How do you know?"

He was reluctant to mention this matter because the whole village, even the entire Alien Race, considered it a disgrace. A man of the Alien Race being with a human woman and even having a child strictly violated the communal heritage and regulations of the Alien Race, an absolute taboo. As the village chief, he was most unwilling to bring it up.

But he didn’t expect Lin Feng to ask such a question. Did Lin Feng know something?

"Is there also a little girl?" Lin Feng continued asking.

Hearing this, the village chief was sure Lin Feng indeed knew of the matter, so he explained to Lin Feng, "Years ago, Xu Gong from the village fell in love with a human woman and later they had a little girl. The whole village strongly opposed it, but he wouldn’t listen. The child born was frail and didn’t live long. It’s said she died, and afterward, the couple went missing."

The old village chief sighed deeply, saying he actually admired the young Xu Gong, but he violated the rules to be with a human. Helplessly, he had to expel them from the village. Humans and the Alien Race are fundamentally different; they should never be together.

Lin Feng listened to the village chief, clearly the chief was unaware of the girl’s situation in the ice cave, so he said nothing more and continued asking, "Didn’t you say the Alien Race were humans injected with Alien blood to transform? Can humans and the Alien Race actually intermarry?"

The village chief shook his head, saying, "The chances are very small, and the children born are always ominous signs. It severely impacts our view on preserving the purity of the Alien Race bloodline."

Seeing the village chief’s demeanor, Lin Feng decided not to ask further. The following days, Lin Feng didn’t leave the village but waited for the exchange party to return from Yancheng.

Seven days later, the three young men who went to Yancheng returned. Lin Feng was surprised because it took nearly a month to walk from Yancheng to this village, but these Aliens took only seven days round trip, evidently their travel strength far surpassed that of ordinary people.
