Chapter 47: The Cave
Because of Yuqin's joining, the journey to Cangmang Mountain was much smoother. Although there were many injuries on the road, it was generally good.
The vast mountain is an outlier in the dream and fantasy world. Why? That's because in the whole dream realm, only the vast mountains are a vast white. The foot of the mountain is still verdant and green, and when it reaches the mountain, it becomes white covered with ice and snow. That is to say, the foot in front of you stepping on the vast mountain is ice and snow, and the foot you have not stepped on before you step is green grass underneath. The connection between the two is not slow and excessive, but it does not seem abrupt, as if it should be like this.
Such a handover was breathtaking.
"It turns out that this is the vast mountain, a vast white piece, no wonder it is called the vast mountain. At a glance, only the snow and ice covered were visible, and there was no vegetation or any trace of other living creatures. Do you think there really will be a fire lotus here?" "If the red fire lotus is on this vast mountain full of ice and snow, it should be very conspicuous!"
"Master said this, there must be something, no matter what, we have to find it" Mo Li's eyes looked firmly at the white that spread out in front of him.
"Well, Moli is right, no matter how it ends, we will always try. Let's go!"
After Qingfeng finished speaking, he took the lead and marched towards the vast mountain. A few people in the back followed closely.
A few people walked for a long time, but they didn't see anything other than ice and snow. And at first, a few people didn't feel anything, but as they went deeper and deeper into the vast mountain, a few people felt colder and colder.
They were originally immortal cultivators, and they all had cultivation in their bodies, and the severe cold of the outside world would not have such a big impact on them.
Tao Yao kept rubbing her arms, and her mouth was still straight. "It's so cold, I feel like I'm going to freeze here. "Tao Yao is a peach tree, it flourishes in summer, and in winter, it goes into a dormant state. And she grew up in Fanghu Mountain, where the four seasons are like spring, which is perfect for her. She is equivalent to a flower blooming in a greenhouse, and now this ice and snow is a spicy hand destroying flowers for her.
Although the rest of the people were better than Tao Yao, they were also so cold.
Yuqin saw that Tao Yao was so uncomfortable, so he poured a pill and handed it to her. "Tao Yao, you can eat this, it will be better if you eat it!"
Tao Yao took it and threw it into her mouth. They have been taken care of by a lot of Yuqin along the way, so naturally they will not doubt it. As soon as the pill was in her stomach, Tao Yao felt a warmth spread from her lower abdomen, reaching a hundred limbs in a moment. "Yuqin, are you a special cold pill? The effect is too good, and the taste is quite sweet. ”
"No, it's not, it's a sugar pill I made myself. ”
Haoyue saw that Tao Yao didn't seem to be cold, and asked Yuqin for one. Yuqin hesitated for a moment, then gave him the whole bottle and asked him to share it with everyone.
"Sugar pills? ”
Yuqin glanced at Haoyue, who was sharing sugar pills with everyone, and then attached to Tao Yao's ear and said, "Because I am cold, every time I have menstruation, it hurts, so I made this sugar pill."
Tao Yao glanced at the few men who had already eaten the sugar pill, "So this is not a cold pill, then they ......"
Yuqin nodded, "It shouldn't hurt them to eat it, the ingredients I added in it don't mean that only women can eat them." ”
"That's good, that's good. Tao Yao put the letter back in her stomach, "I think it's better for you not to tell everyone about this matter." If they ask, you say it's good to keep the cold out of the pill. ”
"What are you talking about?" Haoyue handed out a sugar pill to everyone, returned the bottle to Yuqin, and thanked him, "Yuqin, your elixir is really effective, I feel warm and warm now, and it is not cold at all." ”
"That's good, that's good!"
"Thank you!"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Fortunately, Haoyue just mentioned it casually, and didn't really want to ask about the conversation between the two people just now, otherwise he would make up a lie to fool him.
Xiaobai and Xiaohuo didn't feel cold because they had fur to protect them from the cold, and they still ran happily. I'm afraid that if it weren't for Tao Yao staring, the two little ones wouldn't have known to run there to have fun.
Because there was ice and snow everywhere, several people couldn't find a place to rest, so they had to keep looking, if they were really tired, they would slow down, but they didn't stop, but if they stopped, they were afraid that their feet would freeze together.
I don't know how long I searched, but several people found a cave from afar.
"There's a cave over there, why don't we go over and rest for a while?" Yue Yao pointed to the cave not far in front of her and shouted to a few people.
"Good!" several people said in unison. This is a rare time since entering the dream fantasy realm, several people have not disagreed, and it is really rare.
Because there was a short end, several people picked up their pace. I hope that in the cave, there is really a place where a few people can rest for a short time, and it is not as cold and snowy as the outside world.
Because she was really afraid of the cold, Tao Yao was the fastest runner and reached the cave first. There was no snow or ice in the cave, and it was much warmer than outside. She stood at the mouth of the cave and shouted to everyone, "Come on, there is no snow or ice here, it is much warmer!"
Several people also arrived at the cave one after another. The cave was winding and turning, and I couldn't see what was inside, but it was very deep.
Because since going up the vast mountain, several people have not rested, and after entering the cave, they all sat down to rest, and they didn't care about any manners.
A few people sat at the entrance of the cave and chatted, "Where do you say this fire lotus, this vast mountain, so big, we have been walking for so long, let alone the fire lotus, we haven't even seen a living thing." After Haoyue finished speaking, she took out a peanut from her arms and threw it into her mouth.
Qingfeng glanced at him, although he felt that his half-paralyzed appearance was very eye-catching, but also considering that he was really tired, he didn't say anything. "Since the master said that there is, there must be something, maybe there is something we haven't found. ”
"It's man-made, we'll definitely find it!" Ximei said, holding her sword against the cave wall.
Mo Li sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, staring at the ice and snow outside in a daze.
Tao Yao walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Senior Brother Moli, don't worry, since we are here, we will definitely help you find the fire lotus." ”
"Tao Yao, do you think the ice and snow at the entrance of this cave are very strange!" Mo Li said suddenly.
"Strange?" Tao Yao looked at the ice and snow outside. "It's a little weird, indeed. There is wind outside the cave, so it stands to reason that the ice and snow will come in from the outside, and this part of the cave entrance should also be covered with ice and snow. Tao Yao pointed to the dry ground under his feet, "And the ice and snow are gone before they reach the entrance of the cave." ”
When the breeze heard this, he got up from the ground. Fang Cai only cared about resting, and did not pay attention to the details, and when he heard the two of them, he felt that it was wrong, and hurriedly went over to look.
"Yuqin, how long can your cold pill generally keep out the cold?"
"Huh?" Yu Qin reacted after a while, and Qingfeng asked about the sugar pills she made. "It's usually six hours!"
"It's been more than six hours since we took the cold pill, but do you feel cold now?"
Several people shook their heads.
"So what really warms us up is this cave!"
Mo Li's eyes lit up, "If that's the case, then it's very likely that the fire lotus we're looking for is in this cave." ”
"Hmm!" Qingfeng nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go in and have a look!" Tao Yao said as she walked inside.
Qingfeng stretched out his hand to block Tao Yao. He glanced at her helplessly, she has always been smart, but as long as she encounters Mo Li's affairs, she will be dizzy.
"The fire lotus is guarded by the fire crane, and we still need to discuss the battle plan, and we can't be impulsive. ”
"What my brother said is that I was careless. ”
"It's warm in this cave, but I don't know if it's caused by the growth of fire lotus, or the presence of fire cranes, or both!" Qingfeng analyzed to everyone.
"If it's just caused by this fire lotus, it's fine, but if it's caused by the fire crane, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. The flaming crane could have flapped its wings to make a fire, but I was afraid that we would enter the sea of fire as soon as we got out of the iceberg. Mo Li said as he glanced at the ice and snow outside.
"Are we going to give up like this?" Ximei saw that everyone hesitated.
"Naturally, it can't be. Mo Li retorted, what is he here for this time? It's just that the situation is unfavorable now, and we have to figure it out slowly.
He discussed with everyone for a long time, considered various possibilities, and how to deal with them, and then headed towards the cave together.
The cave twists and turns, but it does not become dim as it goes deeper and there is no light, but there is always a faint warm light, and this light seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
The walls of the cave are smooth and dry, I don't know if it's because of the presence of flamingos, although the temperature is very pleasant, but I don't see any other insects or plants.
I don't know how long I walked, but a few people entered the cave, which was a relatively open world, with a high roof and light shining in on it. And on the opposite side of them are two openings in different directions.
There is a warm light in the two caves, a few people are in trouble, the master said that there is a fire lotus in the vast mountain, but he did not say how many fire lotus plants, the two caves that appeared in front of them, they couldn't tell where it was right.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally decided to divide the troops into two ways, and said okay, no matter what the final result is, several people will gather here. Qingfeng, Yueyao, and Haoyue went to the cave on the left, and Moli, Ximei, Taoyao, and Yuqin went to the cave on the right.
Mo Li walked along the cave from them, the more they went inside, the hotter it became, at first it was still acceptable, but in the back it was almost unbearable, and several people's clothes were stuck to their bodies because of sweating, and their heads were also sweating profusely.
Tao Yao and a few of them are better, after all, the cultivation is there. Yurong's situation is not good, their disciples of Daiyu have always been inferior in cultivation, so they seem quite weak.
"Yuqin, are you okay?" Tao Yao looked at her weakness and almost lost her strength.
