There was something inside the icicle?!
Yang Dingtian was excited at first. He quickly went forward to take a closer look, but he still couldn't see clearly.
In the entire cave, only the icicle in the center was blue and opaque.
Although a large part of it had been melted by Yang Dingtian, it still wasn't transparent and he couldn't see what was inside.
Yang Dingtian hurried forward and reached out to hug the icicle. He couldn't help but shiver from the cold.
It was really thanks to Yang Dingtian's Nine Yang Body. It was really like a furnace. If it was anyone else, they would have been frozen solid.
The further he went, the colder it became. In the end, it was almost unbearable.
He hugged the icicle for a few hours. Every half an hour, Yang Dingtian would rest. The icicle melted inch by inch. The deeper he went, the colder it became. In the end, Yang Dingtian was almost in unbearable pain.
Five hours later, Yang Dingtian was already shivering. His vision turned black and he almost fainted.
Although he knew that his life would be in danger, Yang Dingtian was stubborn. He wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.
"There's actually a person inside?" Yang Dingtian was suddenly excited. The icicle was finally almost completely melted and became completely transparent.
It was really strange that someone would be frozen in this cave a thousand meters below.
It was an old man. His hair and beard were completely white and messy like weeds.
His entire face was wrinkled. He was so old that it was impossible to tell his age.
His clothes were dirty and old. Besides having no holes, it was no different from a beggar's clothes.
His exposed hands were thin and dry like the withered branches of a dead tree.
From head to toe, every single strand of hair on the old man's head exuded an aura of defeat.
Yang Dingtian was slightly disappointed. This person should have been dead for a very long time and should have been frozen for a very long time.
As for why he was sealed in this ice, it was unknown.
However, he had to do things to the end. Although the person inside should be dead, Yang Dingtian still decided to get him out.
Thus, Yang Dingtian endured the bone-piercing cold and once again hugged the terrifyingly cold icicle, shivering all over.
This final melting was truly a test of one's willpower. That kind of icy coldness was completely indescribable.
Finally, Yang Dingtian couldn't take it anymore. His vision turned black and he fainted.
"Kacha …" At the same time, there was a crisp cracking sound. The last layer of ice on the old man's body completely shattered, and the thick icicle completely disappeared.
The bone-piercing cold stopped, and Yang Dingtian's body gradually recovered its heat. However, he was temporarily unable to move. Yang Dingtian leaned on the old man's body, his nose filled with the old man's rotting smell. Although it was not very smelly, it was more unbearable than other smells.
Suddenly!
The old man in front of him suddenly opened his eyes!
This caused Yang Dingtian to be shocked.
Did he come back to life?
Wasn't he already dead?
Then, the old man suddenly stretched out his skinny hand and grabbed Yang Dingtian's neck. His long fingernails were like blades piercing his aorta. His turbid eyes emitted a cold light, and his aged face was full of anger. He roared at Yang Dingtian.
His voice was as harsh as a knife scraping the wall.
However, Yang Dingtian couldn't understand what he said at all. It was a language that Yang Dingtian had never heard of before.
Seeing that Yang Dingtian didn't respond, the old man was very angry. He repeated his previous words again, and his tone seemed to be interrogating Yang Dingtian.
"I, I don't understand what you are saying at all." Yang Dingtian said with difficulty.
Hearing Yang Dingtian's reply, the old man was very agitated. He asked several more questions in succession, and then his ugly old face approached Yang Dingtian. At the same time, his fingernails ruthlessly pierced into Yang Dingtian's neck.
Yang Dingtian suddenly felt a sharp pain, and blood flowed down from his neck.
Yang Dingtian was exhausted at this time, and he couldn't move at all.
Then, the old man asked another question.
Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly and said, "Old mister, I really don't know what you are talking about."
The old man was furious. His long fingernails slashed Yang Dingtian's neck, and suddenly a deep wound appeared. His skin and flesh opened, and blood gushed out.
Then, he asked again, but Yang Dingtian still didn't understand.
The old man was furious. His two hands fiercely grabbed Yang Dingtian's neck, and he used a gloomy and cold tone to interrogate for the last time.
Although he didn't understand the old man's words, Yang Dingtian understood the general meaning of the old man's words. If he didn't speak, the old man would choke him to death.
Yang Dingtian suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "I risked my life to save you, but I'm going to be choked to death by you. Why bother?"
The old man didn't understand what Yang Dingtian was saying, but it was obvious that he didn't get the answer he wanted. Suddenly, a cruel sneer appeared on his face, and then his hands tightened. The cold and withered hands strangled his neck tighter and tighter.
Yang Dingtian gradually couldn't breathe. His eyes gradually bulged, and his tongue stuck out of his mouth.
He didn't even have the strength to regret. It wasn't easy to save this old man, but he was going to be choked to death by the old man.
"I can die, but I definitely can't die without knowing why."
Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth. His body was full of unwillingness. He didn't know where the strength came from, but he suddenly kicked the old man.
"Bang … …" His foot kicked the old man's chest.
"Kacha … …" There was a clear sound of breaking. It was like the sound of a withered branch being broken. The old man's ribs were broken.
Yang Dingtian's strength was actually not great, but the old man was already a lamp without oil. His bones were brittle and dry, so they were easily broken. Moreover, his whole body was kicked down. His hands naturally separated from Yang Dingtian's neck. It seemed that the old man's grip on Yang Dingtian's neck was the last of his strength.
Yang Dingtian hurriedly used both hands and feet to quickly retreat, far away from the old man. Finally, he leaned back against the cave wall, gasping for breath. While looking at the wounds on his body, he vigilantly looked at the terrifying old man from the corner of his eyes.
Several wounds on his body had stopped bleeding, but at this time it was really painful.
However, this cave was too small. It was impossible to completely get away from this crazy old man.
Yang Dingtian gasped for breath while accumulating his strength. He stared at the dangerous old man. As long as he dared to rush up and attack again, don't blame him for being impolite.
But after the old man was kicked down by Yang Dingtian, his chest might have been injured. He spat out two mouthfuls of black and red blood from his mouth. Then he tried to sit up with his hands on the ground. But after many attempts, he failed.
It seemed that from head to toe, only his hands could move. The rest of his body couldn't move, so he couldn't sit up no matter what.
After many attempts, he still failed. The old man was furious. He let out a burst of angry roars. His hands desperately hammered the ice surface. Suddenly, the wound on his chest was injured. He spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood. His hands hammered the ice surface and suddenly became bloody.
Then, he gave up. He lay on his back on the ice surface and began to curse.
Of course, Yang Dingtian didn't understand what he was cursing about, but his voice was full of hatred and anger. Yang Dingtian couldn't help but be infected.
"This old man is also very pitiful." Yang Dingtian couldn't help but feel a burst of sympathy.
In the end, the old man didn't curse anymore. He just lay on the ice without making a sound.
The broken bones in his chest might have pierced into his flesh. His chest was already swollen.
At first, the old man was still breathing. His chest rose and fell, but in the end, it seemed that he wasn't even breathing.
Although he knew that it was very dangerous to go over at this time, Yang Dingtian still couldn't hold back and slowly walked over.
From a distance, Yang Dingtian gently kicked the old man. The other party didn't have any reaction.
Yang Dingtian took a step forward and touched the old man's neck artery. It was still beating, but it was extremely weak.
Yang Dingtian went forward and used his strength to help the old man up. Then, he opened the old man's clothes and checked the wound on his chest.
His ribs on the right side of his chest had been broken by Yang Dingtian's kick. He was already as skinny as a human, and his ribs were completely covered by a layer of skin. Therefore, the two broken ribs could be seen clearly. One of the sharp bones had pierced into his flesh, and the right side of his chest, which was so skinny that only a layer of skin was left, was swollen by a few inches. It was green and purple, and it looked very scary.
Yang Dingtian used his shallow first aid knowledge to help the old man barely put the broken ribs in the right position. During the whole process, because of the piercing pain, the old man's body trembled a few times, but he still didn't wake up.
Fortunately, the two broken ribs weren't broken into several pieces. However, Yang Dingtian still had a hard time adjusting the broken ribs. In this world of ice and snow, Yang Dingtian was even sweating.
Suddenly!
Yang Dingtian felt pain in front of his eyes. He only saw two long and sharp nails in front of his eyes. As long as he moved a little, these two sharp nails would pierce his eyeballs and completely blind him.
He didn't know when the old man woke up. When he saw Yang Dingtian looking at him, he suddenly let out a cruel sneer.
At this time, the long nails still had Yang Dingtian's flesh and blood. Coupled with his gloomy and cruel face, it was especially terrifying.
Yang Dingtian suddenly held his breath nervously. Then, he lowered his eyes and continued to set the old man's bones, as if he didn't know that the other party was going to blind him.
However, when he set the bones for the old man, his hands were still trembling. Yang Dingtian took a long breath again. His hands stopped trembling, and then he carefully adjusted the broken bones in the old man's chest.
He didn't get any reward for this action. Instead, the old man gave a sneer full of ridicule, as if he was laughing at Yang Dingtian's hypocrisy and cunning.
Yang Dingtian didn't care and continued to treat the old man seriously.
The old man's nails slowly exerted force, and the sharp nails pierced into Yang Dingtian's flesh little by little. They were like sharp blades, piercing in millimeter by millimeter.
The nails that pierced into the flesh had already penetrated nearly half a centimeter. They had already pierced through the outer layer of flesh and would soon pierce Yang Dingtian's eyeballs.
Yang Dingtian's eyes narrowed. His right hand slowly clenched into a fist. In the next second, he fiercely punched the old man's broken chest bones into his heart, completely killing the old man instantly!
However, the old man suddenly stopped. Instead, he pulled out the nails that pierced into his flesh and slowly closed his eyes, allowing Yang Dingtian to do what he wanted.
Yang Dingtian took a long breath, calmed his beating heart, and continued to treat the old man.
Finally, he adjusted the old man's broken bones and carefully wrapped them with clothes.
Although it was too rough, there was no other way. There wasn't even a piece of wood in the cave.
After everything was done, Yang Dingtian retreated to the farthest place from the old man and sat down against the cave wall.
This dangerous old man closed his eyes and didn't move.
