Read Hero of Hearts Chapter 7473
Although Maria Lin didn’t try to persuade Charlie anymore, she was still a bit worried about his safety.
Unlike before, when she might have considered the risks and opportunities of the matter objectively, Charlie had now become the only person she cared about, and she had even fallen in love with him. Right now, she didn’t want Charlie to take any risks.
For Charlie’s safety, whether he would take revenge or not was not important; he just hoped that Charlie would be safe and sound.
However, since Charlie had already made up his mind, she felt that as a woman, she could not stop a man’s decision under any circumstances, so she could only keep her worries to herself.
Charlie noticed Lin’s concern and smiled, “Miss Lin, there’s no need to worry too much. In fact, given the current situation, even if I meet that elder, I probably won’t be in a favorable position.”
Maria Lin asked in surprise, “Why do you say that, young master?”
Charlie laughed and said, “Think about it, previously he used psychological suggestions to control nearly a hundred members of the Japanese scientific expedition, which consumed a lot of spiritual energy.”
“Furthermore, he’s now wandering alone in Antarctica, and he needs to consume spiritual energy to sustain himself. He’s also been chased like a dog by the US military, which consumes even more spiritual energy.”
“So I guess his current spiritual energy reserves are definitely insufficient. If things really come to a head, even if I can’t defeat him, I should be able to escape from him.”
Maria Lin thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and agreed, saying, “What you said makes sense, young master. He has been in Antarctica for so long and has consumed his spiritual energy, but you have replenished his spiritual energy to the maximum by using the Great Sun Tathagata Hand Seal. This is indeed a great benefit.”
Charlie laughed and said, “And don’t forget, I still have pills. If we really have to fight, as long as he can’t kill me in one hit, I can fight him in a war of attrition. Maybe I can even kill him in the end.”
Maria Lin immediately advised him, “Young master, you must not be too optimistic. The three elders of the Shattered Qing Society are second only to Victoria in terms of cultivation, and their combat power should not be underestimated.”
“Although I have not yet attained enlightenment, my father once said that on the path of cultivation, every advancement in realm results in a manifold increase in power.”
“As the saying goes, even a hungry camel is greater than a horse. Young master, please, please don’t be greedy in battle.”
“Okay!” Charlie knew that once there was a difference in cultivation level, it would be like heaven and earth. He said this only to appease Maria Lin.
However, there was one thing Charlie didn’t say.
This means that if you actually encounter the other party, it will be a fight to the death. Even if you’re willing to surrender, the other party won’t let it go. They’ll wreak havoc in Antarctica and find you to kill you.
So what will happen to Maria Lin? What will happen to Jeremiah Yun and Song Ruyu?
After all, even if he couldn’t find me and Maria Lin, he would still tell Victoria the news, and that’s when my identity would most likely be exposed.
Therefore, Charlie was ready to fight to the death if he met the other party on the narrow road.
After saying goodbye to the three women, Charlie runs alone across the Antarctic ice sheet under the light of the aurora borealis.
The reason for not using snowmobiles is the concern that they would make too much noise. Furthermore, it has been proven that snowmobiles are completely incapable of evading US aerial surveillance.
In this extremely cold weather with temperatures dropping to minus sixty degrees Celsius, the engine and exhaust fumes of the snowmobile will be the most conspicuous light sources in the darkness under the thermal imaging system.
In addition, vehicles on snow are noisy and may disturb the elders of the Corrupt Qing Society.
Although the area the other party could sense with spiritual energy far exceeded Charlie’s range, Charlie knew in his heart that no cultivator would waste spiritual energy so much as to sense everything around them at all times. It was like a radar with a wide detection range, but if the power supply was unlimited, it would have to reduce its power to conserve electricity.
The other party’s current situation may not be so good, so the possibility of them continuing to pay attention to their surroundings is getting smaller.
Currently, Wu Bolin’s situation is not good.
In fact, it could be described as downright bad.
He dug for over a thousand meters before finally reaching the rock layer and the mysterious entrance, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t even take a step inside.
He knew that what was blocking his path was a very profound formation.
He poured all his energy into the flying sword, trying to penetrate the invisible and intangible array. But the flying sword, usually as sharp as cutting iron, was now completely unable to penetrate the void.
If this formation were likened to the entrance of a fortress made of high-quality steel, then my cultivation and strength would be nothing compared to it, not even as good as a toothpick.
He would probably be frustrated if, after digging through more than a thousand meters of ice, he discovered that it was all just a hallucination.
However, after digging for over a thousand meters and confirming that this was a legacy left by a sage before the end of the Dharma era, he found that he could no longer get any closer. This feeling was far worse than frustration, and even made him almost faint.
Wu Bolin was extremely anxious. In his search for a possible mechanism, he mobilized his spiritual energy to expand the space around the cave entrance. Now, the bottom had been carved into a slanted-roofed space like a giant tent, completely exposing the dark rock layers.
He tried cutting and carving around it with his flying sword, but to his surprise, although he could easily cut through the surface rock, once he reached the plane parallel to the cave entrance, the rock became a thousand times harder than steel.
He had tried his best, but his flying sword couldn’t even leave a scratch on the flat rock.
This formation protects not just one entrance, but the entire field starting from that entrance.
Although he didn’t know exactly how large the craft was, he knew that the enemy formation must be a three-dimensional space, like a large square box. Outside this square box, the rocks were just rocks, but once inside the square box, the rocks were just illusions.
In addition, the defensive capabilities of this formation are very strong.
Although Wu Bolin’s cultivation level wasn’t as high as Victoria’s, Victoria wasn’t that strong in front of him. If he killed Victoria, and she didn’t fight back but simply defended, he wouldn’t be able to survive his flying sword attack unscathed.
It’s like humans, even though they are much stronger than mosquitoes, mosquitoes can still penetrate human skin with their proboscises.
But this situation has completely changed Wu Bolin’s understanding.
Wu Bolin even felt that even military missiles might not be able to shake the area protected by this formation.
After all, his flying sword, if used at full power, could easily penetrate any modern military armor, but it was nothing but an ant in front of this stone.
Therefore, it is clear that even if an atomic bomb were to be detonated on this rock surface, nothing beneath that plane would likely be harmed in the slightest.
Trying to break in? You can’t even get a single hair in.
Outsmarting them? The entire formation was impenetrable, with only one surface entrance and no visible mechanisms, so there was absolutely no chance of outsmarting them.
Someone capable of creating such a formation must possess powers approaching that of a god. How could a cultivator like me, who hasn’t even opened the Niwan Palace, possibly shake it? It’s as if humans are gods, and I’m just an ant!
Wu Bolin also considered giving up.
However, he sadly realized that whether he kept trying or gave up, it had nothing to do with the formation.
Persistence is just a one-man show, not related to team building, and giving up now would be futile.
There’s nowhere else to go outside, so even if I give up, I still have to stay here.
However, previously they were in an ice cave tens of meters deep; now, they were in an ice cave thousands of meters deep.
Realizing his own insignificance, Wu Bolin sat on the cold stone in deep despair, feeling completely helpless and on the verge of tears.
His hand touched the smoothed stone, and a serious problem that he had previously ignored suddenly crossed his mind.
When the Japanese research team reported to him, they told him about the geological structure of Antarctica.
