"Old Wei, are we breaking the ice to get out?"
A few hundred meters beneath the ice, Wei Cheng and Qi Mei huddled together. Golden light emanated from Wei Cheng, containing and steadily resisting the power of the Great Northern Underworld Seal.
Qi Mei attempted several times to activate her magic artifact, but was stopped each time by Wei Cheng.
"Can I take this as you attempting to take advantage of me?"
"You're free to think whatever you wish, but it's best if you do nothing. We're dealing with a Great Northern Underworld Seal powered hundreds of times over. Our best strategy is to resist to a limited degree, pretending we're simple rocks and letting the seal's power roll over us."
"If we resist forcefully, the consequences could be dire."
"It's like when we drive down a road and encounter a small rock, we simply drive over it. But if it's a large rock, we definitely need to move it. If we can't, we have to blast it, or else we'll be exposed."
