Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cold Pool of the Valley
"The horns on its skull are also cherished materials, don't waste them if you cut them off," Shi Xuan said, pointing to the crystal clear horns on the skull.
"Let's take a look at your Purple Winged Lion, it is estimated that it is about to freeze to death," Zhao Zhuo said.
"It's also a spirit beast in the early stage of the fourth order, and it's fire attribute, so it's not so easy to die," Shi Xuan said, they walked in front of the ice sculpture, Shi Xuan shattered the ice sculpture with one punch, and the mad lion trembled and almost fell.
"I'd better take you into Naling, otherwise you'll freeze to death if you go any further", Shi Xuan took the injured Purple Winged Madness Lion into Naling.
Shi Xuan and the others continued to move forward, shuttling through the woods of the valley.
"There must be a big guy ahead, could it be a fifth-order or sixth-order big guy?" Zhao Zhuo said as he rubbed his hands.
"Be careful," the two of them carefully surveyed the woodland as they walked along. Along the way, they encountered a lot of ice-type spirit beasts, all of which had good strength here, and they had several battles one after another.
"There seems to be a huge lake in the distance of Shi Xuan, so clear", Zhao Zhuo looked at the distant place from afar.
"It seems that some powerful spirit beast is flying above the lake?" Shi Xuan spotted an unknown spirit beast skimming the surface of the lake.
"It's too far away to see clearly, let's go over and take a look," Zhao Zhuo said.
In the middle of the canyon, there is a huge lake, this lake is extremely clear, you can clearly see the sand at the bottom of the lake from the shore, and the creatures in the water can be seen at a glance.
On the top of the lake, a crystal clear ice phoenix swept across the lake, her graceful posture was stunning, and her figure was reflected in the clear lake, which was extremely beautiful.
At the end of the lake is a powerful dragon, this dragon has grown the unique skin of the dragon clan, and the whole body is protected by spirit armor, but the body of the dragon is still completely transformed, and it still maintains the body of the snake.
It is the overlord of the cold pool of the valley, the ice dragon, such as today's aura recovery, this snake in such a spiritual valley cold pool continues to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, over the years the strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and gradually there are traces of breakthroughs, it is about to take off the snake body, evolve into a real dragon, at this moment the ice phoenix flying in the sky is fighting with it.
The Ice Phoenix had a terrifying rapidity, and her graceful posture launched a surprise attack on the dragon in the distance again and again, rolling up large ripples on the clear lake.
"Dead bedbug, get out of the way, the cold ice chalcedony here is called out, otherwise this phoenix will peel you and cramp", the ice phoenix in the sky turned into a girl who was amazing for eternity, she held a cold ice sword in her hand, the sword aura was domineering, and she shouted at Jiaolong at this moment.
"The strong man of the Ice Phoenix Clan, don't be aggressive, everything here belongs to me, you don't want to get involved", Jiaolong soared into the air, rolled up a large splash, and flew in the air to confront the girl, Jiaolong has not yet transformed into a human form, and still maintains the state of Jiaolong.
"If you turn into a real dragon, I'll turn around and leave, but unfortunately you're just a bedbug, if it weren't for the pity that you're about to break through the shackles of the fifth order, I would have killed you a long time ago," said the girl in the air.
"Although your Ice Phoenix Clan has a strong bloodline, but you haven't even broken through the fifth order, you can't help but be arrogant, if I hadn't looked at the face of the Ice Phoenix Clan, I would have killed you a long time ago, you are not my opponent", Jiao Snake said.
"The bed bugs at the peak of the fifth order are not worth mentioning in front of my Ice Phoenix Clan, the dragon bloodline in your body has long been thin, even the dragon will never be able to reproduce the majesty of the dragon clan, look at the sword", the girl turned into a flying fairy and swept across the lake, instantly rolling up thousands of huge waves, and countless water waves were turned into thousands of ice arrows by her and shot at the snake.
"You did it first, you can't complain about me", the snake finally stopped forbearing, its huge body cruised on the lake, and its tail rolled up and waves of huge waves flew up and turned into a huge ice wall to instantly resist countless ice attacks.
The snake instantly smashed through the ice wall and killed the girl, and the remaining ice arrows hit his body and were directly ignored by him.
The girl's swordsmanship was agile and elegant, like a flying fairy in white clothes and snow, and the dripping sword qi slashed the sky and the earth, drawing ice marks on the lake.
The huge lake was instantly frozen into a huge ice cap by the power of their ice, and the two fought on it.
The snake's tail swept through the thousands of armies with terrifying power, and the wind rose everywhere it passed, and countless wind blades killed the girl.
The girl's right hand slapped on the ice sheet, and countless pieces of ice flew up and slashed towards the wind blade, and the ice flakes turned into powder in mid-air and fell to the ground. The girl rushed over and stabbed dozens of swords at the snake in a row, the dragon's terrifying defense was undoubtedly revealed, and her sword shadow left a series of marks on his body, but it was difficult to pierce his body.
"Enough little girl, your attack is like child's play in front of me, if I wasn't worried about the strength of the Ice Phoenix Clan, I would have killed a long time ago, now is the last warning, if you don't retreat, you will die here The Ice Phoenix Clan powerhouse has nothing to say", Jiao Snake warned.
"If you have any skills, I want to see how strong you are?" the girl was not afraid.
"It's really times that have changed, a fourth-order ice phoenix clan dares to challenge a fifth-order peak dragon, what makes you so conceited?"
"Look how I break your ice thorns", the girl instantly transformed, a huge ice phoenix appeared, forming countless afterimages in the air, the rapid speed of the phoenix in the world can not be compared to any race, her graceful figure wandered above the lake, many huge ice spikes all fell into the air and slammed into the ice cap, the huge ice layer shattered instantly, and the beautiful figure in the sky appeared again.
"How, is this the power you are proud of? It's not worth mentioning in front of my Ice Phoenix Clan, obediently hand over the Ice Chalcedony, I will spare you from death", the girl asked again.
"I can't continue to break through without ice chalcedony, you are in the hands of a strong man, even if I can't beat you, with your sword energy, I can't even think of breaking my defense, you die of this heart", Jiao Snake was not afraid at all.
"Yes, I was just testing how hard your stinky skin is, and you can try it again this time," the girl said.
"It seems that if you don't see the real means, you won't give up", the snake went out again.
The snake was above the lake, its tail went deep into the water and stirred rapidly, a huge vortex was formed, and with a flick of the tail, almost half of the lake water was brought up by him, and the girl's body was submerged in an instant, and a huge dragon's breath spewed out, instantly freezing her in the huge iceberg, and her beautiful body was completely frozen in the iceberg in the lake.
"Hmph, I've put up with you for a long time, and this is what you brought on yourself", Jiao Snake looked at the girl who was completely frozen and looked at him arrogantly.
In the distance, Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo were completely dumbfounded at the moment, a huge iceberg stood in the lake, and a snake that was about to turn into a dragon surrounded you and around the iceberg, and the beautiful girl was completely frozen by him.
"Shi Xuan, that's, is that a dragon?" Zhao Zhuo's breathing became short, and he couldn't care about the cold.
"I'm still familiar with that girl, where do I seem to have seen it?" Shi Xuan observed as he looked at the girl in the iceberg.
"You still have the heart to observe that girl, let's go quickly, if the dragon finds out about us, we will be finished", the two of them hid in the woods to investigate.
"She is Huang Shuhan, I saw her in the Bamboo Forest of Jingyue Sect", Shi Xuan suddenly remembered the girl he had met near Jingyue Sect a few years ago, and that person made a deep impression on him.
"Do you really know her?" Zhao Zhuo asked.
"It must be her, I am impressed by her unique extreme ice," Shi Xuan said.
"Even so, what can we do, a fifth-order peak Jiaolong is not something we can deal with, have you forgotten how difficult it is for them to deal with a sixth-order array spirit?" Zhao Zhuo didn't dare to appear.
"I can feel that the girl's breath of life is very strong, but she is still a little bit stronger at the moment to get out of trouble, and I want to help her," Shi Xuan said.
"You're crazy, even the three of us may not be able to beat Jiaolong, you won't be able to come back as soon as you go out," Zhao Zhuo said.
"It's late, he's already noticed us," Shi Xuan said, its powerful soul sensing the change in the snake's aura.
Sure enough, a mouthful of dragon breath sprayed from afar, and Shi Xuan and the others hurriedly summoned the Flame Protector, and the trees around them instantly turned into huge ice mounds.
"Be careful yourself, I'll go and smash the iceberg", Shi Xuan's flames burst into a few battles, and he jumped up frantically, Tianlong Bo Tiandu, the terrifying bonus of eight times the strength, the fist glove was burning at this moment, and he smashed the iceberg with a fierce punch.
He himself was knocked away by the ice slag rolled up by the dragon, and fell the big tree on the shore, and the big tree was broken.
Zhao Zhuo hurriedly ran over and subdued him, Shi Xuan spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Haolong was powerless.
At this time, huge cracks appeared in the hard iceberg, and countless cracks cracked from the place where Shi Xuan's fist hit, and the girl exploded with all her strength at this moment, and a violent explosion swept the entire lake, and countless remnants of ice were carried to all sides by the terrifying shock wave that the girl instantly erupted, and the terrifying power overturned the snake in the lake.
The girl stood on the lake again, she glanced at the two teenagers on the shore, and then at the snake in the lake again.
"Bed bug, your hole cards are all on display, it's my turn", the girl quickly slashed towards the snake.
An indescribable terrifying bloodline power soared, this is the unique bloodline pressure of the Warcraft race, the girl's momentum skyrocketed instantly, and a huge divine phoenix phantom appeared behind her, and the girl was blessed with huge power.
The cold ice sword qi in her hand instantly reached the length of several battles, and a terrifying sword slashed towards the snake.
Jiao Snake's body is trembling at the moment, the phantom behind her has a terrifying bloodline suppression, he can't even mobilize his vitality at this moment, and his body protection qi can't operate, this is the suppression of low-level bloodlines by high-level demonic beasts.
The huge ice sword qi instantly cut open a huge wound on his body, and the stinky blood flowed out, staining a large area of the lake red.
"Spare my life, I am willing to hand over the ice chalcedony, spare my life", the snake suffered a heavy blow and was unable to fight again.
Huang Shuhan also stopped the sword in his hand and observed him, Jiao Snake opened the cave behind him, took out a large piece of cold ice chalcedony and handed it to Huang Shuhan's hand.
"For the sake of your sincerity, I will spare your life for the time being, I can't use up this chalcedony, I will leave you a copy, and it can be regarded as not cutting off your cultivation path", the girl cut off a chalcedony and returned it to the snake, and then flew to the shore.
The snake took the chalcedony back to the cave, closed the cave and never reappeared.
"You saved me again, and we met again?" Huang Shuhan was also surprised, she recognized this young man, although he had grown up a lot, but his extreme fire was still instantly recognized by her.
"Your strength is really terrifying, I haven't seen you in just a few years, you can already fight with such a dragon, it really makes us ashamed", Shi Xuan felt a little devastated.
"Actually, you have made rapid progress, and I have only made rapid progress because of the family's resources, if I practice like you, I may not be faster than you", Huang Shuhan's voice was a little crisp, and the whole person was fresh and spotless.
At this moment, Zhao Zhuo's face was full of frost, and his whole body trembled and said: "This junior sister, your ice is too terrifying, I am about to be frozen by your breath."
"It's me who is not good", Huang Shuhan subconsciously restrained the cold and icy qi, Zhao Zhuo was a little better, he summoned the flame and finally warmed up.
"Didn't you have a master to follow before, and if she made a move, you wouldn't have to be so dangerous?" Shi Xuan asked.
"This can be regarded as an old man's test for me, everything depends on her to solve, how can I grow?" the girl said calmly.
"It turns out that Senior Sister Huang also has an indomitable strong mentality, and I admire it", Shi Xuan also sincerely admired.
On Huang Shuhan's cold face, it was rare to smile, Shi Xuan was also fascinated by it, Huang Shuhan was the most amazing of all the girls he had ever seen, even senior sister Dai Mengli couldn't compete with her.
"Why did the two senior brothers appear in such a bitter cold area?" asked Huang Shuhan.
"We were also hunting spirit beasts in Chuyun Mountain and suddenly discovered the valley here, so we came to explore, and we never thought of meeting Senior Sister Huang again," Shi Xuan said.
"I came here this time because my master instructed me to come here to obtain this piece of ice chalcedony, which can help me cultivate and is also a test for my master," Huang Shuhan said.
"Then congratulations in advance on Senior Sister Huang's great advance," Shi Xuan said.
Huang Shuhan cut off a piece of chalcedony with his sword and handed it to Shi Xuan, "This piece of chalcedony is also asked to be accepted by Senior Brother, and I have been rescued twice by risk, but there is no way to repay it."
"This chalcedony is very important to you, how can I win people's love," Shi Xuan said.
"I don't need so much, this ice chalcedony can greatly improve your physique, and it can also be used as an important ingredient in many elixirs, which will be useful to you in the future," Huang Shuhan explained.
Shi Xuan took the chalcedony at this time, "Okay, then I'm welcome, I don't know where Senior Sister Huang is going to go next?"
"I haven't decided yet, but my master asked me to practice freely in this area this year, and she will give me instructions at critical moments," Huang Shuhan said.
"Recently, the five empires have been in the midst of war, and these places are not safe, and there are often a lot of imperial troops haunting, which is very dangerous," Shi Xuan said.
"My master sent me here because of the turmoil in these places, and she hoped that I could go through the ups and downs so that I could walk out of my own path in the future," Huang Shuhan said.
"Both of our senior brothers are in Yecheng to assist the Tianyang Empire to resist the invasion of the Danyang Empire, in the future, if Senior Sister Huang has nowhere to go, you can come to Yecheng to find me, we welcome people with lofty ideals in the world to join in and jointly safeguard the justice of the world", Shi Xuan took the initiative to throw an olive branch.
"It is a blessing to be able to meet Senior Brother Shi Xuan twice, I will definitely go if I have the opportunity, I also want to do my part, now I have to go back to the task of the master, so I will say goodbye first", Huang Shuhan said goodbye to the two, and flew across the lake to the distant sky like a flying immortal.
Shi Xuan quietly looked at the girl who was far away, Zhao Zhuo stretched out his hands and shook them in front of his eyes: "It's all gone, still look", Shi Xuan came back to his senses.
"Let's go too, the dragons here are not friendly to the two of us", Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo returned the same way.
"Shi Xuan, this girl is so terrifying, I was almost frozen by her breath of ice just now", Zhao Zhuo recalled Huang Shuhan before.
"Her physique is indeed a bit special, I was similar to you when I first met her, she was not so strong at that time, and I almost froze." Shi Xuan remembered the encounter in the green bamboo forest.
"Senior Brother Jiang has always been considered to be the strongest person among the younger generation of disciples in the Southwest Continent, but I have a feeling that this girl's strength is far above Senior Brother Jiang", Zhao Zhuo was quite shocked after seeing Huang Shuhan's terrifying strength.
"You always have to remember that there are people outside the sky, and some inconspicuous sects on the continent may also hide dragons and crouching tigers, and who would have thought that the Moon Worship Sect would rise strongly in their dormant range?" Shi Xuan said.
"Yes, this expedition did refresh my cognition, not only saw the legendary Jiao Snake Dragon, but even saw such a terrifying girl, which was an eye-opener, but then again, this iceberg girl is also so beautiful, it is simply amazing for eternity", Zhao Zhuo was a little distracted.
"Her beauty is indeed amazing, I have met so many beautiful junior sisters and senior sisters over the years, and no one can compare with her", Shi Xuan was also amazed by her.
"How does that compare to the girl in your heart?" Zhao Zhuo asked.
"Although I don't want to admit it, her beauty is really unmatched," Shi Xuan said.
"She'll be very sad to hear that, you say that," Zhao Zhuo reminded.
"Don't be afraid, I like her not because of her beauty, but because of the two of them sharing hardships and companionship, it was she who accompanied me Jian'an out of my darkest moments, this kind of relationship is something that can never be replaced by other things", Shi Xuan remembered the dark time in the cave, and it was the playful girl who accompanied him out of the darkness.
"So you have a bit of a conscience, so when will you introduce the brothers?"
"Everyone has their own path to follow, and she wants to be able to choose the path she likes, and I respect her choice, as long as there is a fate, we will meet each other," Shi Xuan said.
The two of them have gained a lot from hunting in the Izumo Mountains this time, and it is not worth the trip to see such a deep canyon and such an amazing fairy-like girl. 、
The two turned back along the road, rode the dragon horse and galloped all the way back to Yecheng.
Luohe Town, located around Yecheng, Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo drove through this town for a long time, and this is one of the few towns that is still inhabited.
"Shi Xuan is here to rest, let's eat something and hurry", the two came to the town.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry", the two of them went to a shop to eat something, "There are no people in a radius of dozens of miles, I didn't expect that there are still people living in this Luohe Town", Zhao Zhuo said.
"There was no one here before, and after General Zhao Yu recovered this place, there were refugees back here," Shi Xuan said.
"General Zhao Yu has really boosted his morale, if it weren't for Yecheng's big victory, he wouldn't have been able to keep the Tianyang Empire," Zhao Zhuo said.
"Even if General Zhao Yu uses his troops like a god, it is difficult to recover the situation, the gap in strength between the two sides is too large, once this winter passes, I don't know what kind of situation it is, the Danyang Empire will definitely make a move after preparing for so long," Shi Xuan said.
At this time, several people walked down from the second floor of the inn, attracting Shi Xuan's attention: "Zhao Zhuo, what do you see those people?" Shi Xuan turned his head to look at a few people.
"What's the matter, do they have a problem?" Zhao Zhuo was puzzled.
"Tian Yun, a famous disciple of the Moon Worship Sect, how did their people appear here?" Shi Xuan was suspicious.
"I heard that the Moon Worship Sect has been secretly supporting the Danyang Empire to launch a war, and I don't know what An Le's thoughts are, and now he dares to appear in the towns of the allied forces," Zhao Zhuo said.
"Let's follow them secretly to see what tricks they have?" Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo got up and slowly followed behind, wanting to investigate.
The two of them followed the road all the way and walked behind them for a long time, but several people from the Moon Worship Sect suddenly disappeared in a dense forest, and the two of them looked dazed.
"Let's go, they should find out that we're following", Shi Xuan had a bad premonition.
The two of them fled quickly and rushed back towards Yecheng, and on a high mountain, Tian Yun and a few disciples of the Moon Worship Sect were also surprised when they looked at Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo who had fled.
"Senior Brother Tian, this kid is so sensitive to perception, he actually let him run away", one person said.
"We have to be careful in our next actions, I didn't expect this kid to recognize my face after so long, in the future, we must beware of the disciples of Tianhua Sect and Divine Sword Valley, and we must not be discovered by them, our plan", Tian Yun said.
"Yes", several people disappeared into the mountains, and then after nightfall they left Luohe Town with a group of boys and girls.
Shi Xuan and the others returned to Yecheng, and Du Qifeng was relieved to see the two of them return safely.
"Have you gained anything from this trip?" asked Du Qifeng.
"I have gained a lot from the spirit core of this operation, and when I came back, Zhao Zhuo and I actually found that Tian Yun, the core disciple of the Moon Worship Sect, appeared in Luohe Town with a few disciples, and we followed them but were unexpectedly discovered by them, so we could only rush back," Shi Xuan said.
"Have all the minions of the Moon Worship Sect reached out here?" Du Qifeng was also shocked.
"Maybe you have to inform the people of the sect to beware of the actions of the Moon Worship Sect when you go out," Shi Xuan suggested.
"I will inform the other disciples to pay attention", Du Qifeng did not dare to be careless.
"Let's refine the spirit cores we obtained as soon as possible", Shi Xuan and the others refined all the spirit cores they obtained, and Yecheng also acquired a batch of spirit cores, and Shi Xuan and they were busy again.
