Chapter 996: Chapter 996 Ice Queen 7

"Just wait a bit longer; it might sprout soon," Brian said.

Eric’s brow furrowed as he nodded slightly, with no choice but to wait.

Time seemed to slip by unnoticed.

The seedlings of Chang Weicai, Brian, and Ed began to break through the soil, unfolding their tender cotyledons, while Eric’s seeds remained silent without any signs of life.

"It doesn’t make sense," Eric grew restless. "We planted them all at the same time, it doesn’t make sense that yours have sprouted while mine hasn’t..."

As he spoke, he gradually stopped, as if realizing something, his face pallor increasing.

Brian frowned and asked, "What? Did you think of a reason?"

"I... I don’t know, could it be related to that incident..." Eric looked dazed. "When you guys went out to look for supplies, I was here alone. It was too cold, my hands froze, and I didn’t notice when the seeds fell. By the time I realized, I don’t know how long had passed... Maybe the seeds got frostbite, affecting their germination?"

"Can seeds get frostbite?" Ed raised an eyebrow, "I seem to have seen some news about low-temperature storage or something..."

"Ordinary seeds wouldn’t sprout in just a few hours," Brian reminded him. "We are in a game, our seeds aren’t ordinary seeds either."

After a pause, he continued: "And... even if the seeds weren’t damaged by the frost, Eric might have stepped on them while searching."

Eric’s face turned even paler, his gaze fixedly staring at the soil in the cup lid, memories of searching flashing in his mind...

The seeds were too small, he hadn’t noticed when they fell to the ground, he only felt unbearably cold shivering, and then when he finally found them, he searched desperately. How long did that take? Did he accidentally step on them? Did he handle them well when planting? Were the seeds definitely full? Were there any cracks?

...Thinking about these now seemed too late.

The reality in front of him had to be faced: his seeds, only his seeds, had not sprouted!

The air suddenly grew colder.

The flames in the fire basin trembled as well.

Everyone instinctively looked in one direction, where a woman clad in a white robe appeared as if out of thin air, silently watching them.

Her fox fur collar framed her flawless jade-like face; her skirt hem refracted glimmering fragments as she moved, and that unmistakable chilling aura imperceptibly enveloped everyone.

They instinctively held their breath and quieted down, watching as the woman approached—

The woman lowered her eyes, glancing towards Eric.

Eric stiffened suddenly.

Then, they saw the woman raise her staff, sweeping a chill air towards Eric! Eric’s eyes widened as his body visibly frosted over, then formed into crushed ice, rapidly building up until he became an ice sculpture!

With another swing of her staff, Eric’s body fell, sliding into the circular pool in the center of the hall, splashing water before sinking into the depths...

All became quiet.

The remaining three were silent, their faces revealing all their shock and fear.

The woman remained silent too.

She looked at the tender sprouts recently emerged in their hands, her expression thoughtful. She watched them for a long, long time... Then she said, "I will come again in 6 hours."

Then, she turned and left...

Like the snow, silent as she arrived, silently she left.

But the change in the surrounding temperature let the survivors know that she had departed.

Ed collapsed into a seat, barely holding the seedling in his hands, "Another 6 hours... In 6 hours, if we can’t keep the seedlings, will we... end up frozen alive like Eric..."

Now was not the time to consider seizing the sword; a slight mistake could mean their lives might only last another 6 hours...
