Chapter 139: Winter Curse

"In each independent elemental world, because of the extremely rich elements, it is very suitable for the birth of elemental spirits, their crazy advancement in it, with the birth of their spiritual intelligence, they also gradually have the ambition to dominate the world, they are unwilling to be bound to their own world, and then crazy want to break through the barriers of the space plane and enter our world", Huang Shuhan's family has many records of the invasion of the elements.

"In this way, the Wu clan has also contributed a great amount to the stability of the continent in history?" Zhao Zhuo said.

"Not only them, many powerful races in ancient times have taken action, it is unrealistic to rely on a single race to resist the invasion of these elements, their elemental god strength is all anti-heaven level existence, the human race of the same level is not their opponent, they can continuously draw energy from their elemental plane to fight, and have the power to destroy the world," Huang Shuhan said.

"Then do you know where the other elemental planes are?" Shi Xuan asked.

"The secrets of the elemental plane have been jointly sealed by many holy places a long time ago, and in order to avoid being detected by the world, they have all concealed the news of these places, and now it is very difficult to find them unless these planes take the initiative to appear," Huang Shuhan said.

"I see, I hope this operation can go smoothly, I don't want to deal with those elements," Shi Xuan said.

Shi Xuan took out the map that Zhu Li had given them, which roughly indicated where they wanted to go.

The six of them climbed up the mountain path, the desolate prairie was left far behind them, and some powerful fierce birds soared in the sky, fighting from time to time.

Just as Shi Xuan and the others were moving quickly on the middle of the mountain, the huge war eagle swooped towards them, taking them as prey.

"Good fellow, if I learn the skill of the tribe's animal trainer, I must catch it as a mount for transportation", Zhao Zhuo took off his weapon and prepared to fight.

"Any war eagle that appears has reached the fifth order, is there any heavenly reason", Han Yunxi said speechlessly.

"Fight quickly, don't delay time, there are still a few owl beasts in the sky, if they all come down towards us, it will be difficult to deal with", Han Yunyi took the lead in attacking, this time Shi Xuan and Huang Shuhan did not have a chance to make a move, the injuries suffered by the two of them before were not healed, Han Yunyi did not let them participate in the battle.

Although the war eagle was extremely fast, with sharp teeth and claws, but the strength of Han Yunyi and the others was terrifying, and its several tosses did not work at all, in a vain attempt to turn around and fly away, but Zhao Zhuo pierced his head with a shot, and even the spirit core was dug up.

After Shi Xuan and the others left, several owl beasts swooped down and directly ate the corpse of the war eagle, and the scene was bloody.

In addition to the evil and ferocious spirit beasts on the mountain, Shi Xuan and they also found a lot of precious spirit materials, these things are priceless in other places, and the quality is extremely high.

"It seems that this can be regarded as a coexistence of danger and opportunity, and we have also found a lot of spiritual materials along the way, and it is not worth the trip," Shi Xuan said.

"This is the beginning of the revival of the aura, and in the future, higher-level spiritual materials will appear again, and the growth of these things also needs to absorb a large amount of aura," Huang Shuhan said.

"I've heard that many high-level spiritual objects will give birth to spiritual intelligence, so will these spiritual materials too?" Shi Xuan asked Huang Shuhan.

"This is not unusual, in the misty swamp in the south of Zhongzhou, my master and I have also seen a big tree that can walk, he has given birth to a very high spiritual intelligence, and can use the aura of heaven and earth to perform some spiritual skills, very magical", Huang Shuhan's pale face had a touch of red, and his mental state was much better.

"There are no surprises in the world, and if you are beaten by a big tree in the future, it seems that it will not be unusual," Shi Xiuan teased.

"Everything has a spirit, once the spirit reaches a very high level, there is not much difference from people, in ancient times, there were really a lot of strange spirits, they have been freed from the shackles of utensils, born of spirit alone, and can also practice," Huang Shuhan said.

"In the future, I also want to forge a spirit weapon like your war spear, a weapon that can give birth to spiritual intelligence, and the combat ability must be very terrifying," Shi Xuan said.

"The war spear I got is not simple, it was forged by a very powerful ancestor in my clan in ancient times, and it has been nurtured for many years, and the spiritual wisdom in it has continued to grow, and now it can even fight on its own instead of its master," Huang Shuhan said.

"So, there are a lot of weapons of this level in your clan?" Shi Xuan said as he looked at Huang Shuhan in surprise.

"How is it possible? Originally, there were indeed many, but for thousands of years, the family has suffered many major wars, and the weapons in many clans have either been damaged or plundered by the enemy, and now it is very difficult to even assemble a complete set of artifacts, and what they have snatched from the gods of the wilderness is a complete set of armor and weapons, and no one has taken one, and now only this war spear has been recovered, and there is no trace of other armor and spiritual weapons until now", Huang Shuhan said regretfully.

"So that's why you masters and apprentices don't hesitate to venture into other ancient ruins to obtain weapons from other clans?" Shi Xuan asked.

"This is also a last resort, if we want to defeat a strong enemy, in the case of a huge disparity between the enemy and us, an artifact is enough to change the situation of the battle, we are also forced to do so, and snatching your Oolong Dragon Clan Dragon Egg before is also to strengthen our defense," Huang Shuhan said.

"What kind of force can threaten your safety?" Shi Xuan asked curiously.

"I don't want to hide it from you, but I really don't want you to get involved in the crisis of our race, maybe it will get you into trouble?"

"I'm not afraid, haven't I caused enough trouble?" Shi Xuan said.

"There were two forces that caused our race to fall to the altar back then, one was the ancient forces from outside the territory, they were extremely powerful, even our family could not stop them, and the other was the famous dragon clan on the continent," Huang Shuhan said.

"Dragons?" Shi Xuan couldn't believe it.

"That's right, it was their raid that led to the decline of our family, and then they were raided by extraterritorial demons, and finally collapsed, and they have not been able to recover for thousands of years," Huang Shuhan said.

"Now the threat is also them?" Shi Xuan asked.

"Yes, the dragon clan also has many branches, and they don't want to perish as you imagined, but they have their own independent space, but after the heaven and earth aura is exhausted, they close their space and don't move around in this world," Huang Shuhan said.

"What kind of hatred would make them still besiege you thousands of years later?" Shi Xuan asked.

"Grievances were settled 10,000 years ago, how can a junior of mine know all the grievances? In short, they are inextricably entangled, and it is impossible to say who is wrong and who is right, only for the interests of their respective families." Huang Shuhan did not explicitly state the origin of the grievances.

"Okay, you don't have to worry too much, now that your body is weak, take care of yourself, who can say clearly what will happen in the future?" Shi Xuan comforted.

"Don't you want to ask about my identity and family?" said Huang Shuhan suddenly.

"I know, if you are willing to say it, you will naturally say, I don't want to embarrass you, but I have vaguely guessed something," Shi Xuan said.

"Then do you mind my identity?" Huang Shuhan looked at Shi Xuan, full of anticipation.

"I said, you are my best friend, I won't mind your identity", Shi Xuan said calmly.

"But there is such a saying in your human race, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, aren't you worried that I will be unfavorable to you?" asked Huang Shuhan.

"I have seen the most despicable human race for so many years, and I have also seen the most ferocious spirit beast, for me, race is not the reason why I reject others, the kindness of my heart is far more important than the estrangement of race, in today's rising of all races, I also need to change the previous hostile thinking, maybe all races in the world can also live in peace?" Shi Xuan said.

"Thank you, for many years, my people have advised me to stay away from your Terrans, thinking that you are cunning, weird and untrustworthy, and I thought so when I was very young, until my master and I came to your territory, and I realized that perhaps it is not as rumored in our clan, and there are many sincere and kind people among you, not all of whom are bastards with bad intentions," Huang Shuhan said.

"Maybe in ancient times, in order to survive, there were too many conflicts, resulting in too much killing and hatred, and trust in each other has long been lost, so there will be a legacy of mutual hostility," Shi Xuan said.

"It seems that from today onwards, we need to get to know each other again, my name is Huang Shuhan, from the Ice Phoenix Clan, an ancient family of divine beasts, who have been chasing the artifact of our race for many years, looking for ways to defend against strong enemies", Huang Shuhan told his secret.

"I didn't expect you to be really a descendant of the Phoenix Family, why have I heard that the Phoenix was reborn from the ashes, but your family has the power of ice?" Shi Xuan said the doubts in his heart.

"Our Phoenix Family, originally extremely powerful, among all the races, only the Dragon Clan and us can compete with each other, but it is a pity that years of enmity led to mutual vendetta between us, and finally gradually declined, and we became what we are today because of the surprise attack of the Dragon Clan," Huang Shuhan said.

"The dragon clan still has such an ability?" Shi Xuan wondered.

"Of course they can't do it, but the demons outside the territory can, their raid has led to the fall of the strong people of our clan, and they are no longer able to resist the invasion of the demons outside the territory, our clan was almost wiped out, and the rest of the clansmen were all cursed by the demons in winter, some of the clansmen were weak, and it was difficult to suffer the curse of ice and fire, and finally died tragically, and the surviving clansmen had already extinguished the fire that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and their whole bodies turned into ice, and they suffered the curse of winter, and they were not allowed to be free for life, and this curse has lasted for thousands of years." , Huang Shuhan's eyes left tears of pain.

"So, your icy power isn't a bloodline talent but a curse?" Shi Xuan said.

"Yes, after every member of the Ice Phoenix Clan is born, they will inherit the ice curse of their ancestors, and they will never be able to get out of it, and they will not be able to lift it until they die, which is the pain that our clan has suffered for thousands of years," Huang Shuhan said.

"Isn't there a way to dissolve the curse?" Shi Xuan asked.

"For countless years, my people have been looking for a solution, but for many years there has been no result, such a curse has made my race precarious, our divine beast family has a very low fertility, these ice curses are even worse, every descendant of the Ice Phoenix Clan has become extremely precious, every time a clan dies, a strong person will be lost, this ice binds our fate and future, and one day in the future our family will perish because of this curse", Huang Shuhan said the crisis faced by their race.

"Is there really no way to lift the curse?"

"Yes, but it's as difficult as ascending to the sky, if you want to lift the curse, as long as a god appears in our group again, the divine power of the god is enough to dissolve this curse, but no race has ever given birth to a god in 10,000 years, so the hope is extremely slim," Huang Shuhan said.

"What else?"

"The Winter Curse is extremely powerful, it is the coldest power in the world, and if you want to resolve it, only the heat power in the Fire Spirit Realm can destroy it, but it is also more difficult than climbing to the sky," Huang Shuhan said.

Shi Xuan finally understood why Huang Shuhan was so anxious, if he was replaced, he would not have a better way to resolve it.

Shi Xuan and Huang Shuhan's frank relationship this time can be regarded as resolving many doubts in the hearts of the two, and Shi Xuan can be regarded as clearly seeing the fate of the girl in front of him, both of them are carrying a heavy burden of fate forward, and they also cherish each other.

The bumpy fate of the two made them understand each other, support each other in this chaotic world, and untie the knot, Huang Shuhan can finally face this friend honestly, she doesn't have to hide what she did, and her mood is much better. Her biggest gain from this operation was not to find the family's artifact again, but to really make a friend of Shi Xuan.

Crossing the mountains, they entered the deep mountains of the North Cang, and encountered a lot of powerful spirit beasts along the way, many of them were strong, and even the battle of rice made them feel tired, in a cave in the mountains, they could only rest temporarily, and the next road was the real danger.

After Shi Xuan knew about Huang Shuhan, he cared more about her, and even Han Yunxi on the side began to be jealous, and even her brother didn't care about it.

Next to the bonfire, Shi Xuan and the others flipped through the map to identify the next direction, "After this mountain, it is Yaoshan Lake, and the opposite side of this lake is the destination of our trip," Shi Xuan said.

"It's already a crisis here, it's hard to imagine what will happen to these places?" Han Yunyi said.

"As long as we don't encounter spirit beasts above the sixth order, we can still deal with it, if we encounter a spirit beast above the sixth order, we can run away directly," Zhao Zhuo said.

"That's not all, I heard that the vicinity of Yao Mountain is very weird, there is the power of space, if you are not careful, you will get lost in the deep mountains, this is a terrible place," Shi Xuan said.

"The secret methods that the Witch King gave us at the beginning may help us find the location of the altar he set up, and it must have an effect when the time comes," Zhao Zhuo reminded.

"Today we have a good rest, and tomorrow morning we will immediately go to Yaoshan," Han Yunyi said.

Early the next morning, several of them walked out of the cave where they were hiding, and explored along the mountain, which was extremely unsmooth along the way, and they accidentally led out a lot of spirit beasts, and their strength was not bad.

"What should I do? With so many spirit beasts, it may be very dangerous if they force themselves into battle?" Zhao Zhuo asked.

"It can't be done, let's fly, we just need to fly over Yaoshan Lake to reach Yaoshan," Shi Xuan said.

A few people didn't dare to stay any longer, there were a lot of spirit beasts here, fortunately, they hadn't reached the sixth order yet, and they couldn't fly yet, Shi Xuan and they controlled the spirit weapons to cut through the air in a beautiful and arc, and the many spirit beasts under their feet were disturbed, and chased them all the way along their tracks.

"It's unusual, what should have attracted them, otherwise it would not have been possible to keep chasing us?" Shi Xuan felt that there were too many spirit beasts behind him.

"I see, they're not chasing us, but there's something ahead that attracts them?" said Huang Shuhan.

"Could it be that something is happening in the Yaoshan Lake?" Han Yunyi said.

"Let's go see what's going on first?" Shi Xuan and the others flew forward quickly, shaking off a large group of spirit beasts from a distance.

"You see, even the owls and war eagles in the sky have flown over," Zhong Ling said, pointing to several huge beasts.

Shi Xuan and the others found that these fierce birds completely ignored them and flew towards the lake in the distance.

The lake in the distance gradually came into their sight, the lake was very large, the surface of the lake was as clear as a mirror, and it exuded an alluring aura.

When Shi Xuan and the others arrived at the lake, they were shocked by the lake in front of them.

"This is the Colorful Golden Lotus, all of them have bloomed, this is a high-level spiritual material, I didn't expect there to be such a cherished spiritual material in this lake", Huang Shuhan was surprised.

"What is the effect of this Colorful Golden Lotus?" Shi Xuan asked.

"It can make many high-level elixirs, has the ability to improve cultivation, its peculiar medicinal effect can continuously enhance people's meridians, and even can remove many toxins, which is very rare in this world, and occasionally found that there are also some low-level, and the ones in front of us have reached at least the fifth order or above", Huang Shuhan said.

"I'll go collect some, you wait for me", Zhong Ling, as a water system spirit master, is very convenient to collect these spiritual materials.

"Be careful of the spirit beast in the water, Zhao Zhuo, you go over to cover her," Han Yunyi said.

Zhao Zhuo was also worried about the surprise attack of spirit beasts in the water, he controlled the spirit weapon and followed, Zhong Ling cast a water system spirit technique, easily walked in the lake, collected some fragrant colorful golden lotus, Zhao Zhuo followed all the way.

"It's so fragrant, the aura of these colorful golden lotuses is simply too tempting, no wonder those spirit beasts are attracted here", Zhong Ling said as he felt the aroma.

"Look over there, that one is of a higher grade, estimated to be the sixth order", Zhao Zhuo pointed to a colorful golden lotus in the distance, far more than the few they had seen before.

Shi Xuan and the others watched the spirit beasts behind them around the lake to avoid being suddenly attacked.

Just when Zhong Ling successfully stepped on a colorful golden lotus, a huge figure suddenly appeared under the clear lake, Zhao Zhuo could see it clearly, "Fly quickly, danger", Zhao Zhuo shouted.

But the speed was too fast, a huge whirlpool was formed under the water in an instant, and the huge water beast set off earth-shattering waves at the bottom of the lake, Zhong Ling's face was pale, and he quickly flew away from the water, but he was still hit by the huge waves that rolled up, and he was suddenly hit into the water.

Shi Xuan and the others saw the sudden situation on the shore and hurriedly flew towards this side.

Zhao Zhuo took out his weapon and flew towards the place where Zhong Ling fell into the water, as a fire spirit master, it was inconvenient for him to enter the water, which could fly close to the water.

"Zhong Ling, where are you?" Zhao Zhuo shouted.

After falling into the water, Zhong Ling urgently summoned a water shield to defend against the surprise attack of the spirit beast, and the previous blow injured her, and she didn't dare to be careless at this moment.

A huge fifth-order peak demon lizard killed her, she quickly floated up towards the water, Zhao Zhuo finally discovered Zhong Ling's location, he flew high, and fiercely shot dozens of terrifying gun shadows towards the water poison demon lizard, preventing it from harming Zhong Ling in front of him.

But the huge curtain of water blocked much of the power, and the shadow of his spear hit the lizard without pain.

Zhong Ling finally appeared on the water, and Zhao Zhuo flew over to grab her, dragged her out of the water, and prepared to fly away.

"Tighten me," Zhao Zhuo shouted.

Just as Zhao Zhuo was about to fly high, countless huge water columns shot out from the lake, and the huge power hit Zhao Zhuo and Zhong Ling, who were covered in flames, at once.

The huge demon lizard rushed out of the water at once, opened its bloody mouth and bit directly at Zhao Zhuo and the others.

Zhong Ling reacted to the danger, and an ice crystal freeze instantly froze the demon lizard that was still half of its body in the water, and even the surrounding lake surface was frozen.

Zhao Zhuo and Zhong Ling fell on the ice on the surface of the lake and confronted the demon lizard in front of them.

Shi Xuan and the others finally arrived at their side, "Damn beast, if you hadn't hid in the water and saw that I couldn't burn you?" Zhao Zhuo cursed.

The demon lizard shattered a large area of ice at once, and was about to attack, but Huang Shuhan unleashed an even more terrifying ice power, and a thick layer of ice was frozen within a radius of several hundred meters.

At this moment, the demon lizard could not rely on the lake water to attack, so it could only forcibly kill a few people.

"You deal with this demon lizard, I'll block the spirit beasts behind", Han Yunyi found that several powerful spirit beasts appeared on the opposite side behind him.

"They must have come because of these seven-level golden lotuses, and use some low-level forests to lure them away", Shi Xuan immediately flew to the surrounding area to pull up a few low-level spiritual materials to fly to the shore of the lake, and Han Yunyi also pulled out some of the contracted seven-colored golden lotuses and flew in other directions.

Sure enough, they attracted a lot of spirit beasts to chase after them, and Shi Xuan's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain really worked.

In the distance, he threw these low-level colorful golden lotuses out, and many spirit beasts fought for spiritual materials, and a big battle broke out in the jungle.

When Shi Xuan and the others arrived at the lake, Zhao Zhuo and the others had already worked together to kill the demon lizard on the ice.

"It's really dangerous, in the water, our fire spirit master was simply defeated, and a huge wave made me lose most of my combat ability", Zhao Zhuo kicked the corpse of the demon lizard a few times.

"Okay, you've dug up his spirit core, what else is there to complain about?" Shi Xuan said.
