Chapter 268: Cold Pool
In the middle of the mountain wall, it is a completely different scene from the outside world.
This is a small valley, obscured by the formation, only the night pearls like stars are embedded in the surrounding mountain walls, bringing a bit of brightness to this place.
The trees in the valley have long since withered and yellowed, and the branches and leaves have withered, but they have retained a trace of vitality because of the rich aura, and other than that, there is no life, no insect chirping, no trace of beasts, this valley is like a dead world, full of drowsiness and dead silence.
"It's so cold, how does it feel like entering an ice cellar?" The blue-tailed spirit fox curled its tail, and the valley was filled with a strong cold air, which even its flesh could not bear.
"Such a strong cold air should be the reason why this valley has become such a dead silence, let's go to the inside of the valley to see. ”
Qin Xuan looked around for a moment, there was nothing special except for the dead trees, and behind him was the quaint stone wall, exactly the same as what he saw outside the valley, just a phantom array barrier.
A man and a fox walked forward for several miles, and the blue-tailed spirit fox suddenly trembled, and it froze there.
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Xuan's face was solemn, the blue-tailed spirit fox was his important help, and he must not lose it.
The blue-tailed spirit fox took a deep breath and protected his body with his demonic power, before he said with a frightened expression, "Master, the cold here is so powerful, my physical body has reached the strength of the early stage of the fifth order, and it is difficult to resist this cold qi, so I can only accompany my master here!"
"It's okay, your physical strength is not enough, and if you move forward, I'm afraid it will endanger your life, so stay here first, and I'll go in alone to investigate. ”
Qin Xuan nodded, left the blue-tailed spirit fox here to wait, and continued to move forward.
After a few more miles, the cold in the air became more and more terrifying, and even Qin Xuan's fifth-order peak body could not resist it, so he had to use the Haoran Five Pole Wheel Protector.
But this state didn't last long before Qin Xuan stopped.
"No, if you continue like this, even my physical body can't support it, the temperature here is too low!"
Feeling that the body under the protection of the true qi was invaded by a trace of cold qi, and the terrifying coldness had gradually solidified the blood in his body, Qin Xuan's expression was solemn and he stopped.
He didn't turn his head away, but urged the purple gold rune
。
Strands of spiritual energy were inhaled into his body, turning into a mysterious strange force, treating his skin and flesh that was frostbitten by the cold qi, and Qin Xuan's body immediately recovered a lot.
"Fortunately, there is a purple gold rune body, I want to see, what is hidden in such a cold place?"
Qin Xuan's expression was excited, and he continued to stride forward, with the purple gold rune body, he was no longer as cautious as before, and soon walked dozens of miles, coming to the place where the cold air was the strongest in the valley.
The trees here have long been frozen into dust by the cold, and the rocks are black, and they will crumble apart when stepped on at will, and the internal structure has long been destroyed by the cold.
The cold air here was ten times colder than where the blue-tailed spirit fox was, and every trace of cold qi could freeze a fifth-order martial artist to death, although Qin Xuan's fifth-order peak body was strong, it had already made a creaking sound, and his skin and flesh were constantly frozen.
In the dantian, the purple gold rune frantically swallowed the aura of heaven and earth, repaired his physical body, and Qin Xuan used the Haoran Five Pole Wheel to protect his body, so that he could insist on coming here.
"It's such a terrible cold, if there is no purple gold rune, even a sixth-order martial artist will be frozen to death. Qin Xuan's heart was shocked at the same time, but also mixed with a bit of expectation.
In such a dangerous place, there must also be treasures hidden.
Walking in the valley, Qin Xuan didn't even dare to inhale, for fear that absorbing one more breath of cold air would completely freeze his body, and his body was already covered with a thick layer of ice crystals.
Soon, Qin Xuan walked to the very bottom of the valley.
His gaze stayed on a high raised stone dozens of feet away.
Unlike other black rocks, the mountain stone is strange turquoise, about half a zhang high, several zhang square, and the cold air of the valley faintly emanates from this mountain stone.
Qin Xuan stepped forward slowly, and all the true qi in his body was condensed around his body to face a possible crisis.
Da!
Qin Xuan's feet stepped on the blue stone, and suddenly a chill penetrated his soul from the mountain stone into Qin Xuan's body, freezing his blood in an instant, and even his mind was drowsy.
Fortunately, the purple gold rune shone at this critical moment, and the speed of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth instantly increased by another three percent, so that it could protect Qin Xuan's vital body before the cold qi froze to death.
"It's cold!"
Qin Xuan's consciousness at this moment was almost intimidated by the cold, and his whole person was much sluggish, but he still didn't retreat, and continued to walk forward, until he came to the center of the blue stone.
In the center of the stone there was a five-foot-square, one-foot-deep stone pit, and in the pit was piled up a thick layer of blue water, almost overflowing, the spring water was clear and calm, and if it were not for the terrible cold, I am afraid that anyone would think that this is an ordinary pool of water.
Qin Xuan's consciousness was already a little unclear at the moment, so he squatted down in a daze and stretched out his hand to reach out to the waterhole.
The purple gold rune also seemed to sense Qin Xuan's extremely dangerous movements, and the speed of his operation increased by a few points, and the mysterious power flowed into all parts of Qin Xuan's body as if it had turned into water droplets, repairing the wounds caused by the cold qi that had been attacked by him all the time.
"Phew!"
As soon as Qin Xuan's fingertips touched the surface of the waterhole, he felt an unprecedented cold aura carrying a devastating force pouring into his body, passing through his internal organs, passing through his throat, and permeating into the sea of knowledge.
But at this moment, the Hundred Knot Lotus Seal suddenly appeared, resisting this unknown cold qi outside the sea of knowledge, and the two collided with each other, like water and fire, making a sneering sound, and they were actually dissolving each other.
The Hundred Knot Lotus Seal is the basic method of the Soul Defense Secret Technique, and it also has the miraculous effect of protecting the soul, and at this moment, in the face of this cold air, it does not fall at all, only because this Lotus Seal is not actively urged by Qin Xuan, but it only resists for a moment, and then disappears again.
However, most of the cold qi was resisted by the Hundred Knot Lotus Seal, and the remaining cold qi could no longer hurt Qin Xuan's soul, and under Qin Xuan's huge soul power, it disappeared like melting ice and snow.
Boom!
After this battle in his mind, Qin Xuan's consciousness finally couldn't support it, and he passed out, and the whole person lay on the edge of the pool.
The waterhole was as calm as ever, but from time to time a trace of blue smoke rose up, which was breathed into Qin Xuan's body, turning into a terrifying cold qi that invaded his body.
And the purple gold rune has been operating in Qin Xuan's body in order to fight against the cold qi that exists all the time around him, and the aura between heaven and earth has been constantly integrated into his body, and at some point, a cloud has formed around him, wrapping this blue mountain stone.
Unconsciously, seven days passed, and Qin Xuan, who was lying on the stones, finally regained a little consciousness again.
