Chapter 69: The Two Heavens of Ice and Fire
At the bottom of the swamp, where no one could see, something was moving rapidly, silently, and neither the snow and dust, nor Captain Unohana and Yuyin Torato, who were watching from behind, were noticing.
Carefully avoiding a half-rotted boar carcass, Xue Chen couldn't help frowning, this swamp was too dirty! How dirty is it? Cockroaches are killed instantly! The water in the swamp has long been more than just water and mud.
The swamp is filled with the debris of various animals and plants that have fallen from decay, and they have become a nourishment for the growth of the poisonous holy fruit.
Xuechen's calves had already sunk into the mud of the swamp, and his thighs struggled forward, and with each step, he would bring up a large amount of foul-smelling silt, which consumed a lot of his physical strength and mental strength.
As he complained distractedly, four vines wrapped tightly around his two ankles: "Oh my God! What is it? Me, I can't move?! ”
A strong force came along the vines, throwing the snow dust high into the air, and the rapid contraction of the vines pulled him towards a half-dead tree, and the trunk of the tree suddenly changed into a large mouth, full of sharp teeth, trying to throw the snow dust into it and eat it.
"Holy! What the hell is this? The tree still moves, and it eats me! Xuechen quickly pulled out the slashing knife and cut off the four vines that bound him in one fell swoop. At the same time, he was a little dumbfounded, even if he was receptive, but this was ...... That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
Is this a plant or an animal?
But since that thing looks like a tree on the outside, it should also be afraid of fire~ Xuechen held the sword in both hands, held it in front of his chest, and slowly slid his left hand from the hilt to the tip of the sword.
After this action was completed, the Thunder Snow Sword seemed to have life, and the brisk thunder light jumped over the purple side, crackling.
Xue Chen turned around and slashed horizontally, splitting out a half-moon-shaped thunderbolt that hit the middle of the thing accurately. As expected, after the lightning struck the trees, a raging fire immediately ignited, and the entire monster was ignited in an instant, faster than pouring gasoline.
However, Xuechen seems to have forgotten one thing, this is a swamp, and there is not only a poisonous miasma in it, but also a swamp gas!
Almost at the same time after the big tree monster was burned, a chain explosion occurred throughout the space, and a huge wave of qi hit Xuechen's body, making him feel as weak as a fallen leaf in the wind.
"Are you alright!!" Tiger Che Yongyin called anxiously, and the explosion looked as if it would continue.
Captain Uno Hana patted her on the shoulder comfortingly: "Don't worry, his ability is based on ice and snow, do you think he may be killed by the explosion?" ”
Sure enough, just as Captain Uno Hana said, Xuechen sealed himself in the ice cube at the critical moment, and the quality of the ice cube was enough to withstand the explosion. The explosion just happened to blow up Xue Chen's vicinity of the Poison Holy Fruit, and Xue Chen continued to hide in the ice, quietly waiting for the explosion to end.
Even if the power of the explosion was so huge, it couldn't hurt the foundation of the Poison Holy Fruit, this vine seemed fragile, but it was actually extremely hard, and the flames scattered just now couldn't ignite this vine in the slightest, it was really not an ordinary thing. It seems that Xue Chen will have to take action in person to destroy this highly poisonous fruit.
The explosion didn't last long, but it ignited a lot of things, and now the swamp had turned into a sea of fire, and Xue Chen needed to hurry up and finish the task and get out, otherwise he would die from lack of oxygen. It's really so embarrassing to die so easily!
Snow dust shook violently, shattering the ice that wrapped him, but the clothes on his body were still intact there, showing his superb detailed spiritual manipulation.
"Just cut it off the vine, it will wither and die immediately!!" As if to understand Xuechen, who didn't know what means to use, Captain Uno Flower shouted in the distance.
"I see." Xuechen nodded, and slashed vigorously at the place where the fruit and the vine were connected.
Bite!!
After a burst of staggered sounds of gold and stone, Xue Chen's sword was shaken open, and he bared his teeth in pain, and the shock just now made his two tiger mouths crack. Bright red blood flowed out and dripped onto the sword.
"This thing is so strong! Is it a fruit or an alloy? Depend on...... I'll go, and I'll die! Xuechen's face turned red, and at the same time, his brain spun far away, and he kicked his foot violently, and came up with a solution: hot/expanded and cold.
Thunder, fire, and ice and snow are two extreme forces, and no one knows why they can coexist in Snow Dust's body in such harmony. If it were any other Xiuzhen novel, there was no natural treasure, and with the help of the ten thousand years of human spirits, the protagonist would have been cold a long time ago, and his body would have become torn apart.
Xue Chen didn't have the time to think about these things now, he inserted the Lei Xue Sword back into the scabbard at his waist. The two hands were crossed in front of the chest, and the two forces of cold and hot in the dantian were urged to be urged, one gathered to the left hand and the other to the right hand. The left is cold and the right is hot, and the end is extremely powerful.
From the outside, his left eye has turned a snow-white without any emotion, and his right eye looks a pure purple that is bewitching and domineering. The swamp on the left is frozen to ice, but the swamp on the right is a different scene.
Xuechen only felt as if his body had reached its limit, and he could no longer lift a trace of aura, so he slowly aimed two different forces at the same vine and released it.
The vines withstood the attacks of the two heavens of ice and fire, and finally they were no longer strong, and a slight crack appeared. Xuechen was overjoyed when he saw this, forcibly pressed the pain in his body, and increased his strength by two points.
"Click!" A small piece of vine fell with the Poison Holy Fruit in response to the sound and fell into the swamp, the Poison Holy Fruit withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a dozen seconds, it had become shriveled and black, obviously losing its effectiveness. Xue Chen's eyes quickly pulled out the small section of connected vines and put them into the Yingmengding in the sea of knowledge.
This action took place between lightning and fire, and no one outside saw it. Xue Chen rubbed his faintly painful dantian, and was glad in his heart, if it was another minute, his dantian would explode in the two heavens of ice and fire. At that time, he will completely become a wasted person, and the gods will be difficult to save.
After the Poison Sacred Fruit withered, the miasma around the swamp quickly dissipated, and in just five minutes, the miasma had already thinned to the point where ordinary people could enter.
Uno Hana threw out the sword and turned it into a meat szuku, and flew in front of the snowdust.
Xue Chen jumped on the meat tsuzuku very gratefully, after this toss, his strength was running out, and it might be a little difficult for him to get out of this dirty and muddy place on foot.
The appearance of Shizuku perfectly solves this dilemma.
"Thank you, Captain Uno Hana!" After arriving outside, Xuechen jumped off the meat tsuzuku and said very gratefully.
However, everyone, including Hu Che Yongyin, did not feel that they had taken three steps back.
Are you serious? Seeing Bai Ya, Mao Zhihua, they are all like this, Xuechen feels that he is really injured, I am so tired and tired to complete the task, you all dislike me inexplicably!?
The scene fell into embarrassment for a while, until Broken Bee couldn't stand this natural stupidity anymore, her right hand was clenched, a realistic tic-tac-toe shape erupted on her temple, and she yelled angrily: "Stinky boy! Hurry up and find a river to jump down and wash it, it stinks to death!! ”
"Huh? Yes!!! Xuechen subconsciously looked at his current appearance, but he jumped up in fright, "Maggots, maggots?" Maggots!!! His legs were covered with mud, and there were a dozen maggots that he had accidentally touched sticking to them, white and fat, and constantly writhing.
Xuechen felt a Siberian cold soaking his body from top to bottom, cooling his heart. It's really, really, really embarrassing to appear in front of so many people in such a posture!!
It was a shame that the snow and dust rose into the air and squatted there with his head clutched in pain.
When he reacted, the first spell that came to mind came to mind that helped Yachiryu wash his clothes, which could also be used to clean his body.
A burst of blue light suddenly flashed from his body, as if it possessed superior purifying power, and attached to the surface of his body. The filthy sludge and maggots were directly peeled off by the blue light and fell directly to the ground.
"The follow-up of this mission will be handed over to you, and it can be regarded as a workout for you." On the way back, Broken Bee approached Xuechen, who was sitting leisurely on the meat tsuzuku, blowing the wind, and said.
"Captain, what's the follow-up? I don't think I've heard of this. Xuechen raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with some surprise.
Broken Bee showed a somewhat heavy look and smacked his lips: "It's to appease the family of the deceased!" Then discuss the matter of compensation, and give each family member a sum of money, which can be regarded as compensation for them in the corpse soul realm. ”
"I see, don't worry, captain, I'll do my best!" Xuechen was already very guilty about the sacrificed team members in his heart, and now that he has such an opportunity, he can give himself a chance to atone for his sins. Although the dead will not come back, some compensation for their families can also make up for some regrets!
Broken Bee nodded with satisfaction: "Well, the promise was neat, not bad." It's not like that waste in Maeda, who can't do anything, only knows how to eat, and in the end he blackmails others, which is simply a loss of face for our second team! ”
Broken Bee is a straight person, and now when it comes to what Maeda has done, he is still extremely angry.
When Xuechen on the side heard this, he didn't stand or sit, he didn't know what to say, so he just sat there stiffly, smiling, nodding his head a few times from time to time, listening to the complaints of the broken bee.
The captain usually has a lot more pressure than the vice captain, so they all have a bunch of words in their hearts and don't have a chance to say it, and with this opportunity as an opportunity, Broken Bee is a little open to Xuechen.
