The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2142: Strengthening the Cold Flame of the Soul

Just as Matthew and Naro rushed over, they saw that not far ahead, several tree man puppets that were originally aggressive were instantly attacked by the biting cold air spewing out of the ice spider's mouth, and had been frozen into crystal clear ice sculptures.

These ice sculptures were flashing coldly in the dim light. Seeing this, Matthew stopped with a serious expression. His eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle. He quickly raised his left hand and began to make hand gestures with one hand.

His slender fingers danced nimbly, as if weaving an invisible net. As the magic formula continued to change, a stream of energy slowly condensed at his fingertips.

The energy was like a breeze at first, gradually gathered into a turbulent undercurrent, and finally seemed like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme, ready to go.

In the blink of an eye, a ball of deep purple flame suddenly shot out from his hand, like a dazzling lightning that cuts through the dark night sky, carrying with it a scorching heat that can burn everything and an unstoppable momentum, and it whizzed straight towards the ice spider.

As soon as this ball of purple flame appeared, the temperature in the entire passage soared suddenly like a lit powder keg.

The air, which was originally bone-chilling and seemed to be able to freeze the soul, became scorching hot because of the sudden heat wave, making people feel as if they had instantly moved from an ice cellar into a furnace.

The water droplets on the wall evaporated instantly, leaving only dry water stains, proving the drastic change in temperature.

The ice spider, which was baring its fangs and claws and ready to pounce, obviously did not expect Matthew to have such powerful means.

Its eight huge compound eyes flashed with panic under the reflection of the purple flame. Feeling the huge threat from the mysterious flame, it had to retreat one after another.

Its huge body moved clumsily in the narrow passage, and the friction between its hard ice armor and the stone wall made a harsh sound.

At the same time, its hideous mouth kept emitting bursts of hissing sounds, which were distorted in the hot air. It seemed to be demonstrating and warning Matthew, but it revealed more of its fear of the high temperature force.

Facing the threat from the ice spider, Matthew acted as if he didn't hear it, his eyes firm and focused.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the released purple flame immediately burst out like a demon that had been unsealed, completely covering the surroundings of the passage, and quickly spreading towards the ice spider in front.

The purple tongues of fire greedily licked every inch of the passage. Wherever they went, the ice quickly melted and turned into puddles of steaming water that made a sizzling sound.

The ice spider was forced to retreat step by step by the overwhelming flames. It waved its eight long legs in panic, trying to find a way to escape in the flames.

However, how could Matthew let it go so easily? He muttered something, and kept changing hand seals with his hands, controlling the purple flame to gradually form a huge flame vortex, trapping the ice spider tightly in it.

The flame vortex was spinning at high speed, making a whistling sound. Each tongue of fire was like a nimble poisonous snake, constantly attacking the ice spider's body.

The extremely hard ice armor on the ice spider's body, which was flashing with cold light, began to gradually show tiny cracks under the continuous burning of the blazing flames.

These cracks spread out like a spider web, with white mist rising from them.

The mist rose in the air, as if it was steam produced by ice melting at an astonishing speed.

The ice spider twisted its body in pain, constantly emitting miserable and sharp cries from its mouth.

However, this sound seemed so faint and insignificant amid the roaring flames that it was almost negligible.

Na Luo, who was witnessing this scene, couldn't help but widen his eyes with a look of astonishment on his face.

When it saw that Matthew had easily defeated the terrifying and extremely powerful ice spider with just a ball of seemingly ordinary fire, it couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a powerful fire! What kind of magical power is this? It actually has such a terrifying power!"

Matthew did not respond to Naro's praise.

His face was as calm as water, and he walked steadily towards the ice spider that had fallen to the ground and died.

When he approached the body, he saw Matthew gently waving his sleeves, as gracefully and freely as an immortal playing the piano.

In an instant, a gentle breeze blew past quietly.

As the breeze blew by, the ashes left on the ground by the burnt ice spiders instantly flew everywhere.

The wind grew stronger, and soon all the ashes disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

After the ground was clean and tidy again, Matthew slowly stretched out his right hand, with his five fingers slightly bent into a claw shape.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible force surged out from his palm and grabbed forward.

In the blink of an eye, a crystal clear ice cube about the thickness of a finger fell steadily into his hand.

The ice exuded a biting cold, condensing into wisps of white mist in the surrounding warm air.

At the same time, he gently rubbed two fingers of his left hand, and with a crisp snap of his fingers, a ball of blue flame suddenly appeared in the palm of his left hand.

The flame jumped and danced, but not a trace of heat was emitted. Instead, the temperature around it dropped immediately.

The entire passage seemed to be dragged into an extremely cold abyss in an instant. A thin layer of frost began to condense on the walls, and the ground became slippery, and every step felt like stepping on ice.

Even Na Luo, who was standing not far away, was enveloped by the sudden chill.

Under the invasion of this cold air, a layer of frost instantly appeared on his body.

After Matthew took a look at the ice in his right hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

Throw it directly into the blue flame on the left.

At the moment the ice touched the flame, something magical happened.

The ice did not melt as usual, but instead slowly rotated in the flames, spinning faster and faster, making a buzzing sound.

At this moment, the blue flame also began to swirl around the ice, forming a gorgeous and mysterious vortex of ice and fire.

As the vortex rotates, a whistling sound is made.

Matthew's eyes became more focused and his hands trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to control this powerful yet unstable force.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a dozen breaths.

After the blue flame returned to its original state, Matthew let out a breath.

"Sure enough, this strange ice can enhance the Lipo Cold Flame. There should be a lot of those ice spiders behind. This is a rare opportunity."

Matthew muttered to himself and then released the Lipo Cold Flame directly forward.
