Chapter 870: Iceberg Hot Springs
Ji Ru ordered the three of them to wait until all the rats ran away, and then came out of the forest again, "Wow, it's good that I didn't use the power of space to be lazy before, otherwise it wouldn't be a joke to face the Northern Stygian Kunpeng Clan, this time the beast clan is really playing, and they actually blocked 100,000 mountains and captured human warriors, this group of guys is not afraid of provoking the encirclement and suppression of the human camp."
Ji Ruling was silent for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, "The demon beast family attaches great importance to their bloodline, even the corpse of the ancestor has been stolen, not only the blood leakage, but also the desecration of the ancestor, how can such a naked slap in the face not be angry, in order to save face, they will definitely use any price to catch the person who stole the bones, I suspect that what they said just now, the suspicious object found by the Qinglong clan is Xiao Jin, it seems that his situation is not very good now, we have to hurry up and find him." ”
Ji Ruling knew that these 100,000 mountains were still the territory of demon beasts, except for the mice that could be hidden everywhere just now, the birds on the branches, the snakes entrenched in the treetops, etc., all of them could be the eyes of the beast clan.
Therefore, the three of them became extremely cautious in their actions after that, while following the route drawn by Chi Yu, they also had to avoid all kinds of demon beasts to follow, although they had paid great attention, but it didn't take long for their whereabouts to be exposed, so that the three of them went deep into the depths of the enemy camp alone, and what greeted them was endless pursuit and interception.
With the strength of Ji Ruling, Chi Yu and Shi Tian'er, as long as it is not for the old monsters of those large demon beast families, it is still very convenient to deal with it, but Xiao Zhu and Xiao Jin originally had a misunderstanding with the four demon beast families, and Ji Ruling did not want to add to the hatred between them, so along the way, they still focused on roundabout tactics, hiding if they could, avoiding when they could, and they really didn't make a move, and they were merciful every time they shot, and they didn't kill to avoid unnecessary casualties.
After a lot of hardships, they finally came to this Jade Dragon Mountain, the spatial enchantment on the mountain was not a big problem for them, and it directly opened a hole with the ethereal snake exerting its strength, looking at the white snow and biting cold wind here, the three of them were tired and relaxed a little more along the way.
"Maybe this place used to be a frost dragon's lair, I can feel that there is a powerful dragon power on the top of the mountain" Among the three, Shi Tian'er is the most fearless of the cold, she is like a fish in water here, the whole person is in spirit, the cold ice dragon flame in his body was originally transformed from the dragon flame, so he is particularly sensitive to the dragon power.
"It's good to have Longwei, there is Longwei protection here, even if there are those demon beasts that can pass through the space enchantment, they shouldn't dare to come up, at least we are still safe here, let's go up first" Shi Tian'er has the cold ice dragon flame body, Ji Ruling has the chaos fire body, the most afraid of the cold among the three is Chi Yu, their village is in the hot and humid south, rarely set foot in such a cold place, and now the emperor scorpion king is seriously injured, she is shaking in this cold wind.
Ji Ruling was also helpless about this, so she could only continue to turn the chaotic qi into fire aura and inject it into her body, keep her body temperature from dropping too low, and prepare to wait until she reached the top of the mountain to find a place to live and light a fire to keep warm.
This Jade Dragon Mountain is also strange, the more you go up, the colder it feels, the bigger the wind and snow, and I don't know where such a cold wind blows from, at first Ji Ruling felt nothing, but when he got closer to the top of the mountain, even he began to tremble uncontrollably, Shi Tian'er could only wrap the two people with the cold ice dragon flame to resist the cold outside.
Seeing the smoky and white space on the top of the mountain, I felt that I couldn't see anything clearly, let alone recruit people, Ji Ruling tried to shout a few times, but didn't get any response at all, and suddenly had the feeling of coming for nothing, and I wanted to rush down the mountain quickly.
In this case, Shi Tian'er is the only one who can keep her mind clear, she searched the surroundings very carefully, and soon found that in the mist, there was a steaming hot spring, which made Ji Ruling and Chi Yu happy, and immediately went to the lake to warm up, this lake is very large, the middle part is still bubbling, it should be the highest water temperature, after flowing to the edge, because of the surrounding temperature, the lake around the periphery has frozen into ice.
"On such a cold mountaintop, you can't even light an ordinary flame, how can there be such a powerful hot spring, there must be something wrong with the bottom of this lake" Ji Ruling looked at the lake curiously, the lake water is very clear, but because the light can't shine too deep, it's just a black expanse when cut down, and you can only see a large number of bubbles rising up from the depths of the middle of the lake, driving a lot of heat to make the lake boil.
Ji Ruling circled around the entire lake, carefully observed every rock on the side, and finally saw a claw mark on one of the inconspicuous stones, this scar should still be very fresh, definitely less than half a month, due to the hot spring baking, so that the ice and snow covering the rock melted, so that this trace could not be covered.
In this way, Ji Ruling knew in his heart, in order to find clues about Xiaojin, Ji Ruling decisively jumped into the hot spring and swam to the bottom of the lake, the temperature of the lake was still cold and biting, the lower the water was, the higher the water temperature, the bottom of the lake was very dark, but when Ji Ruling gradually approached the bottom of the lake, he suddenly found that a hot red light shone up from below.
Ji Ruling looked at it, it turned out that under this hot spring, there was actually boiling lava, and this Jade Dragon Mountain was actually a volcano, which was originally covered by ice and snow all year round, but because of the heat emitted by the lava in this crater, the spring water in the pool turned into a hot spring, and the originally frozen lake water melted again.
"Could this be the meaning of freezing a thousand feet, red water cold, if red water refers to this lava, how can it be cold, it's really weird" Ji Ruling curiously went deep into the bottom of the pool, wanting to go to the edge of the lava to find out.
With Ji Ruling's current cultivation, coupled with the strength of his body, there is no problem with bubbles in the lava in a short period of time, when he looked down from above just now, because the red light was too concentrated, he didn't notice anything in the darkness on the side, and now after coming down, he found that there was a huge skeleton entrenched in a circle around the periphery of this crater.
