Chapter 18: Frozen and Cold
The water is not deep, and the rocks at the bottom of the pool are in the shape of a steep slope.
Lu Lingping jumped down with Sixuan in his arms, and because the strength was strong enough, he slid directly down the bottom of the pool to the deepest part of the middle. Even so, the water level was only waists high for two people.
In order to remove the heat as soon as possible, Lu Lingping hugged Sixuan and squatted down again, and only the heads of two people were exposed on the water, surrounded by water spray and mist, which looked very hazy.
"It's finally better!"
A clear spring stirred up a layer of coldness, instantly enveloping the bodies of the two. The heat just now disappeared a lot in an instant, and the arm holding Si Xuan was no longer painful. Thinking that Sixuan was finally saved, no longer enduring the heat and anxiety, and would soon return to normal, his heart suddenly burst into ecstasy.
"It's okay this time, are you more comfortable?" Lu Lingping hugged Si Xuan tightly and asked softly.
Lu Lingping asked several times in a row, but he didn't hear Sixuan's answer. With a pang in his heart, he raised his face and looked at Si Xuan again, his eyes were suffocated, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Lu Lingping never expected that at this time, Sixuan's face was gone, but instead of a layer of white frost, it was a reflection of the extreme cold for a moment.
The face, which was as red as fire just now, has turned pale white at this time due to a layer of frost flowers. Even the sideburns, ears, eyelashes, and flowing hair were also lost their vitality due to the frost solidification at this time. Only the stubborn eyes were still a little angry, although they were very sluggish, but they still stared at Lu Lingping, as if telling about all kinds of pain and reluctance.
"This ...... What's wrong with this, it's ......"
At the moment when Lu Lingping asked blankly, he suddenly found that Sixuan's handsome face, which had been hazy at this time, suddenly became more blurred, obviously the ice and snow were constantly condensing and thickening. Beneath the snow and ice, dense blood lines can be clearly seen, curving and expanding.
Lu Lingping was almost defeated by everything in front of him.
He could never have imagined how the cold spring water could become a death zone at this time.
Looking at Sixuan's miserable appearance, it is better to be scorched by the high temperature. Although it was painful, at least I could still speak, and I could say whatever I felt, and even if I died, my heart would be bright. But at this time, even the lips were covered with frost, and it was impossible to speak.
"Sister, don't be afraid, brother will take you out immediately!"
Lu Lingping wanted to stand up suddenly, and then carry Sixuan ashore and escape from this terrifying place of death.
However, although Lu Lingping exerted his strength violently enough, he did not stand up as he imagined. I tried my best to stand up a few more times, but I felt that my body weighed 10,000 pounds, and I couldn't get out of the restraints, and I couldn't even move half a cent.
"What the hell!"
was so anxious that Lu Lingping almost didn't cry, knowing that it was useless to work hard, and there was a thought of giving up completely in his heart. But this thought was just a flash, but it also made Lu Lingping stay still for a moment. In this state, he inadvertently and suddenly found that Si Xuan in the water and his own body were constantly expanding and expanding. From the surface of the water, a very faint shadow emerged, and its volume was increasing.
"Icing?"
As soon as this phenomenon appeared, Lu Lingping was completely desperate.
Seeing the thick layer of ice, from the feet of the two people, the legs continue to thicken, the ice is very transparent, and you can see the frozen legs and feet, so when you look at the water, there will be an unclear shadow, which is the shadow of ice in the water.
"Sister, don't be afraid, my brother is with you!"
Lu Lingping spoke in a loud and domineering voice! He knew that this might be the only time left to speak before his throat was frozen.
Since she can't survive anything, she has to leave the last few words to Sixuan, maybe she can still understand it. But he clearly knew that this was just an extravagant hope, he was already at the third level of the Divine Realm at this time, and he was so frozen, not to mention Si Xuan, who was much weaker than himself.
At this time, Lu Lingping no longer had any hope of escaping, because the ice at this time was terrifyingly thick, not to mention tens of millions of catties! And after a while, his legs had become numb and gradually lost consciousness completely.
In times of complete despair, people tend to become a little lighter. In Lu Lingping's mind, thoughts of longing, reluctance and complaining flashed for a moment - would my father and mother be heartbroken if she knew, if Sister Sixuan still felt, would she be as desperate as herself, why was she stupid and wanted to give her that terrible fruit......
"Come on, freeze it!"
Lu Lingping didn't seem to have a sense of how much frost froze. Although he saw that the entire pool of water was constantly frozen, making a messy "squeak" sound, it quickly spread out in all directions, until the edge.
Seeing this, Lu Lingping's heart seemed to be numb, and instead of the shock and fear at the beginning, he calmed down, and just hugged the stiff Sixuan tightly.
Although the arms can no longer move, hugging can only be a wish, and the arms can no longer be moved under the hard ice. But he didn't give up, he didn't want to give up, that was all his desire, the ice condensed his body, but it couldn't stop the fire in his heart from burning. Almost stiff body, let the stubborn soul continue to impact, urging his faith, even if he can't move a bit, but he is still struggling again and again.
The almost stiff limbs are stretched violently every time they move, that is, when the few remaining muscles exert force, they will produce a piercing pain.
In particular, the shoulder joint, due to its fine structure, is even more uncomfortable to be violently opened. But at the last moment, he was still working hard, and in his cold heart, there was nothing more important than comforting Sister Sixuan.
"Whatever the hell, just use it! I'm not afraid!"
Although Lu Lingping was struggling in his heart, it did not stop the ice from thickening in the slightest. The water froze almost instantly, and then an even more bizarre scene occurred.
The domineering cold air actually followed the water flow of the waterfall, climbing up viciously, layering on top of each other, and continuing to freeze upward.
The water of the waterfall rushed down, and in an instant it was frozen and fixed there, forming an icicle. The water above continued to impact on the icicles, and the splash was blocked, and it splashed violently in all directions, but the splash that had just been sprayed out was frozen in the air in an instant.
Soon a twisted trunk was formed, connected with countless hair-like ice lines, intertwined in an orderly and messy manner, obviously a bunch of natural ice flowers, in a thousand postures, ready to fly.
The ice flowers are still erupting, and they are still increasing. One by one, as dense as grass, but not the emerald green of the grass, but the miserable white, it looks like a strange cold weather, snow-covered cedars, the posture is strange and vigorous, the shape is vivid, it is really like a fairyland.
Just when Lu Lingping watched the ice flowers continue to condense, his mind began to dizzy, his anger was like a gossamer, and he was completely desperate. His eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.
In his faint vision, through a thin layer of ice, he dimly saw a strange phenomenon, which can also be said to be a surprising discovery. Those who climbed towards the constantly freezing waterfall, and then up to a height of more than ten meters, suddenly stopped. Only a pale white mist rushed upward, and as the water sprayed outward, it did not freeze, but rose towards the sky. This phenomenon is clearly very different from what it was just now.
Then, in the cold mist, in the area where the water of the waterfall was linked, a strange thing faintly appeared, a long strip, several feet long, because of the fog, it seemed blurry, and it was really difficult to see what it was? But after a while, Lu Lingping saw something even more wonderful.
Gradually, the mist that spewed upwards all wrapped around the thing, constantly rotating and interspersed.
After a while, from the bottom of this thing, liquid began to drip down. Because of the distance and fog, I couldn't see the color of the dripping liquid. I saw the liquid fall down, as if wrapped in an incomparable heat, and landed on the icicles, making a piercing "clang" sound, and the frozen waterfall then rose with a thick fog and drifted into the sky. Apparently it was the giant icicle that was starting to melt rapidly. The color of the ice is constantly changing, gradually wetting, and the entire frozen pool of water has returned to its original appearance.
"We're saved!"
Lu Lingping felt that the entire pool was warm, and his limbs that were numb by the cold were conscious in the warmth.
But this is just his own feeling, Si Xuan's body is still so cold, only the frost and snow on his cheeks and hair have disappeared, condensed into water droplets, and his body is much softer. Although it has not fully recovered, this is already an unprecedented thing, it is really a desperate situation, and the excited Lu Lingping shouted.
