Although the people were buried deep, they were all focused and moving in a consistent direction. As for the elders who had just been rescued, they hadn't been buried long, so they recovered quickly.
Li Dai intended to continue searching for and rescuing others, and the group followed her. Because Li Dai was the only one present who could manifest her spiritual consciousness into a physical form, and they were all worried that using brute force to smash the ice would only cause further collapses, they were forced to watch from the sidelines. This feeling was terrible. The elders, having already experienced being buried once, understood that Li Dai’s reasoning was sound—after all, it was their own forceful attacks on the ice that had caused them to be buried in the first place.
Considering the depth of the Snowy Abyss, Li Dai did not intend to dig up the entire collapsed iceberg. Instead, she drew inspiration from the principles of a power drill from her past life. She manifested her spiritual consciousness into a drill bit that stood over a person's height. This peculiar magical tool was unlike anything Elder Sanren or the others had ever seen; they couldn't even begin to fathom how it worked.
