Chapter 444: Ice Field
With hundreds of spiritual energy pills, no, it is more than a hundred cannibal flower rhizomes, I have it in the world, I can go anywhere, and I don't have to worry about the Xuan Li being unable to replenish it.
A hundred meters away from the forest, there are all kinds of broken stones, some big and some small, the small one is the stone, the big one is more than one person high, it is simply a small mountain...... Mountains for ants.
There is no way to go ahead, and if you want to get there, you can only climb the gravel field that blocks the way ahead.
Of course, for cultivators, it is still very easy to walk on these stones of different heights and sizes, but that requires Xuan power.
Walking in this gravel field, if you want to walk through it without spending your strength, it is not an ordinary effort.
Because no one knows how big the scope of this gravel field is, how wide the area is, if it is the same as when it was on the cliff before, then it will be bearable, and there is basically no hope of reaching the final location before the end of time without Xuan Li.
The journey ahead has been delayed for more than half of the time, and although the road behind is difficult to walk, if you don't use Xuanli, there must be not enough time.
No one knows what else lies ahead, so every moment of time must be saved.
Long Zun was naturally not afraid of this kind of gravel field, so he jumped on top of a stone with a jump, took out a piece of man-eating rhizome and put it in his mouth to bite it.
Before the sweet juice inside flowed into his stomach, the man had already leaped up, several ups and downs, and jumped over the obstruction of five large stones one after another.
Standing on top of a taller stone, Long Zun looked ahead, and could not see the end of the gravel field at all.
After swallowing the man-eating flower rhizome in his hand in a few bites, he mentioned the mysterious power in his body, and his body suddenly became lighter, and then he kicked the stone below under his feet, and his body flew out.
When the body needs to borrow strength, the toe is a little above the stone in front of the road, and the body rises again in the air and flies over the stones.
Long Zun is like a big bird flying low at altitude, and when he jumps, he is like a powerful hare running, in short, on the gravel field, a black shadow is speeding through it.
Before dark, Long Zun finally passed through the gravel field, and it also cost him a full three pieces of man-eating flower rhizomes to replenish the Xuan power consumed in his body.
The mountain road is not easy to walk at night, and no one knows what else will be encountered on the road behind, Long Zun decided to rest for the night, after all, he has been on the road for eight consecutive days, and even if he has the support of Xuanli, he will still feel tired.
Out of the gravel field, there are a few large inclined stones on the edge of the gravel field, and you can sit down and rest, as long as you don't get close to it, you won't be noticed by people passing by the gravel field.
Sitting under the stone, leaning back against the stone, and eating some dry food and water that he brought, Long Zun sat cross-legged and began to rest.
The night passed quickly, and the tiredness on my body was swept away.
On this night, Long Zun noticed that a total of three disciples who participated in the Great Competition of the Sixteen Kingdoms came out of the gravel field, plus some people he had seen before.
He estimated that the disciples of the Sixteen Kingdoms who had participated in the assessment ahead of him so far would definitely not exceed thirty, and even less.
With less than seven days to go, I can only hope that the rest of the road ahead will not be the same as the road that has been walked behind, so that more people can reach the top of the mountain.
Otherwise, even if you barely catch up, you will consume more Xuan power, and if there are any accidents in the future, I am afraid that there will only be the fate of elimination.
Long Zun sighed, then walked out from under the stone and continued on his way, striving to reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible.
The further you walked, the more desolate the road became, and the chill in the air grew, and gradually frost began to appear on the road, like a white scarf.
Long Zun knew that this was because of the altitude, and he originally thought that it would be cold earlier, but he didn't expect it to start getting cold now.
When the temperature first began to drop, it was okay, but the road behind me didn't need to think about it and knew that it would be even colder, and then I could only use Xuanli to warm up and keep out the cold.
In a place where there is no spiritual energy supplement, you can only rely on the pills on your body and the Xuan power in the dantian to keep out the cold, which is also a test.
Along the way, Long Zun suddenly found that there was no real danger along the way, as long as he used his Xuan power, even a cultivator in the martial arts realm could break through.
Then the question arises, why should the test of the Great Contest of the Sixteen Kingdoms be set on this mountain where there is no aura.
After thinking about it for a while, Long Zun understood that all the previous roads up the mountain were to consume the Xuan Power of these disciples of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and only at the last time, I am afraid that it would be the real test.
The temperature was getting lower and lower, and even if Long Zun had prepared thick clothes in advance, he felt the cold, so he ran the exercises and used his Xuan power to resist the cold.
But fortunately, although he didn't have much pills on his body, the man-eating flowers on the road helped him a lot, as long as the Xuan power was consumed, he would eat a piece of the man-eating flower rhizome, re-replenish the Xuan power, and always maintain the state of full Xuan power.
The road under your feet is slowly no longer white frost, but really becomes a real layer of ice, it is not thick at the beginning, but it is a little slippery when you step on it, but fortunately, you can use the kung fu of a thousand catties, as long as you consume a little Xuan Li, you can ensure that you will not be sliding.
The ice is getting thicker and thicker, and at the beginning you can still see the black dirt underneath the ice, but later the ice has become so thick that you don't know how thick it is, and all you see is translucent ice, and you can no longer see the black dirt underneath.
Looking around, there is a white layer of ice, not even snow, or it has never snowed here, but the moisture in the air has turned into solid ice due to the sudden cold, and it is spread on the ground layer by layer.
Long Zun regretted it a little, before he came back, he knew that the high places of the mountain would naturally have ice or ice and snow due to the cold, but he forgot to prepare tools that could act on the ice and snow.
You must know that a skate blade or ice cart can save him a lot of energy, and the speed is not slow, and it is steady, much more stable than walking on the ice.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, so I can only rely on the two legs under my body.
The ice is not gentle, but has a certain slope, and the direction that Long Zun walked was the direction of the uphill slope, and it was more difficult to walk on the slippery ice than on the gentle ice.
At night, he was unable to get out of the ice field, so he had to rest after dark in a place with ice skates.
Fortunately, he knew that it would be cold on the mountain, so he prepared some leather goods in advance, spread them on the ice, and erected a few pieces of skin to shield him from the cold wind blowing around.
At the same time, a bonfire was lit to keep warm.
