Chapter 052: The Lair

This time, Shen Qingxue was obedient, the moment he fell into the deep pool, his hand flipped, and a water escape talisman appeared in his hand, followed by a slap towards his chest, and the talisman rippled a layer, instantly forming a transparent waterproof cover around his body.

Then, Shen Qing took out a jade bottle, poured out a pill of Qi Benefiting Pill, and swallowed it.

Although this Qi Pills are not healing elixirs, they are also refined from cherished spirit grass, which can have a healing effect to some extent.

The one-horned python was just outside the deep pool, Shen Qingzhen's qi was running, and he felt that his injuries were not serious, so he didn't dare to surface rashly, and simply swam down to the bottom of the pool.

The pool is deep and secluded, turquoise, and the cold is pressing, Shen Qing has been diving for a while, but he has not seen the bottom.

Fortunately, with the protection of the water escape charm, Shen Qing does not have to worry about not breathing well.

However, the deeper he went, the colder the pool became, and the slightest trace of cold air passed through the protective shield and eroded towards Shen Qing's body.

At this time, the light on the surface of the water became more and more dim, and gradually, it fell into darkness, and it was no longer possible to reach out to the five fingers.

Shen Qing took out a fluorescent stone and pinched it on his fingertips to illuminate, the halo emitted by this fluorescent stone is relatively soft, specially used for the decorative lighting of the cave, it is not clear from a distance, it is okay to be close to it, there is a fluorescent stone in his hand, and he will not be blind in this deep pool.

No matter how deep the bottom of this pool is, there is also a time when the bottom is reached, and I continue to dive for about a cup of tea, and I can faintly see a huge black boulder lying at my feet.

Shen Qing was slightly overjoyed, and swam towards the boulder, and when his feet landed on the boulder, he suddenly felt a real cold air surging up from the soles of his feet, penetrating from the center of his feet to his body, and suddenly made him shiver several times in a row.

So cold?

Shen Qing couldn't stand it a little, and hurriedly jumped down from the boulder.

Falling at the bottom of the pool, Shen Qing only felt that his feet were soft, not to mention the compelling cold, but also a little comfortable, and took a closer look, and saw clearly that the bottom of this deep pool was paved with a layer of fine sand.

The soles of the feet are soft, which is completely different from the cold air entering the body before, which is really a big contrast.

Shen Qing's heart moved, and he walked to the boulder, and as soon as he approached, a cold air came to his face, and the cold air penetrated into his bones, so uncomfortable!

Shen Qing hurriedly took a few steps back, feeling that he could barely adapt to the cold air, and then he stood still and carefully looked at the huge black looking stone in front of him.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, the name of an ore flashed in Shen Qing's mind in an instant.

Cold Iron Stone!

It is recorded in the "Kyushu Source Chronicle" that the cold iron stone generally only appears in the ice field, snow mountain, and cold pool, and is mostly used for refining weapons, like the 10,000-year-old cold iron stone, which is a priceless treasure in the cultivation world.

"Isn't where you are a cold pool?"

The more Shen Qing looked at the huge stone in front of him, the more it looked like a cold iron stone, and he recalled the characteristics described in the "Kyushu Yuanji" in his mind, and looked at it carefully, when he saw the regular ripple patterns on the stone, he immediately determined that this black boulder was a cold iron stone!

Not only that, this boulder is definitely a 10,000-year-old cold iron stone, and the appearance of a line on the stone body represents a hundred years, and there are hundreds of lines on this boulder stone, not what is the 10,000-year-old cold iron stone?

The 10,000-year-old cold iron stone is extremely rare, but it is extremely widely used, especially for refining, most ordinary magic weapons only need to add a fingernail-sized 10,000-year-old cold iron stone, and the quality improvement is not a little bit, the lower grade magic weapon can be directly promoted to the upper grade magic weapon, and the upper grade magic weapon can be directly promoted to the best magic weapon, and even promoted to the spirit weapon level!

The cold iron stone in front of him is about five zhang square, it is really too big! It is so big that Shen Qing can't believe it, this legendary 10,000-year-old cold iron stone has let himself meet?

At this time, Shen Qing's eyes were mixed, he fell into the lair of the unicorn python, and in the state of unknown fortune and misfortune, he bumped into such great luck, and he didn't know if he was unlucky?

Shen Qing's heart was in a mess, but his actions were dissatisfied, he stepped forward, and against the overwhelming cold, he put his palm on the cold iron stone, and between the operation of the true qi, this huge 10,000-year-old cold iron stone disappeared in one fell swoop.

Then, Shen Qing's mind moved, and he appeared in the Qiankun Pearl, and the 10,000-year-old cold iron stone that was originally lying quietly at the bottom of the pool stood on the side of the pool.

When the 10,000-year-old cold iron stone arrived, a smile appeared at the corner of Shen Qing's lips, this time he really made a fortune!

You know, this is not an ordinary cold iron stone, but a 10,000-year-old cold iron stone! A fist-sized 10,000-year-old cold iron stone can definitely be auctioned at a sky-high price in Fang City, you can imagine, how many spirit stones can be auctioned for this five-zhang square 10,000-year-old cold iron stone?

Of course, Shen Qing wouldn't be stupid enough to really take out the entire 10,000-year-old cold iron stone for auction, but it was still okay to get out one or two pieces piecemeal and go out and flip it upside down.

Shen Qingle sighed for a while, and he didn't dare to stay in the Qiankun Bead for a while, and his mind moved, and the Qiankun Bead came out.

Shen Qinggang stayed in the Qiankun Bead for a while, he no longer had the fear and hesitation he had before, he also figured it out, whether it was a curse or a blessing, once it was wrong, he would hide in the Qiankun Bead, and when the time came, the Qiankun Bead would turn into dust, and he must not be able to find it with the IQ of the unicorn python.

Since there is no surname to worry about, what else is there to be afraid of, what is there to hesitate?

Out of the Qiankun Pearl, Shen Qing showed his figure at the bottom of the pool, at this moment, he was very sure in his heart, so he let go of his heart, looked around, and began to look at the scenery at the bottom of the pool.

Without the huge cold iron stone in front of him blocking his vision, his vision was much wider, Shen Qing held the fluorescent stone in his hand, chose a direction, and while walking slowly, he released his divine sense to explore around.

The area at the bottom of the pool is not much different from the area of the surface of the pool, Shen Qing came to the end after a while, and seeing that there was no new discovery, he turned the direction and continued to explore.

This time, when we were about to reach the end of the exploration, through the quiet water, a huge cave came into view.

Looking at the huge cave not far away, Shen Qing's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, there, it must be the lair of the unicorn python, right?

Thinking that the unicorn python's lair was in that cave, Shen Qing's legs couldn't help but be a little weak, at this time, although he knew that the unicorn python was still outside the pool, but God knows when the terrifying monster would return?

To go in or not to go in?

Shen Qing was entangled in his heart for a while, gritted his teeth, and thought that he couldn't surface at this time, so it was better to venture into the monster's lair to explore.

The cave was huge, and as soon as Shen Qing entered, he found that the water at the bottom of the pool reverberated and diverted at the mouth of the cave, but not a drop of water seeped into the cave, like a vacuum.

Looking around, the two sides of the cave wall appear relatively smooth, obviously caused by the one-horned python often coming and going, and the fishy smell in this cave is tangy, the stench is unpleasant, from time to time, you can also see the skeletons and bones scattered on the ground, it is really shocking.

Fortunately, the passage of this cave was not deep, and Shen Qing didn't walk long before he saw a purple light curtain appear at the end.

Seeing the purple light curtain again, Shen Qing was very curious, how could there be a purple light curtain in the lair of this one-horned python? What is the place behind this light curtain? It can't be a square again, right?

Thinking about it in his heart, Shen Qing shook his head and dispelled this possibility, the one-horned python had a huge body, and it was impossible to nest in the passage, and behind the light curtain, it should be the real habitat of the one-horned python.

Shen Qing slowly walked to the purple light curtain, hesitated slightly, blessed himself with a protective shield, and then plunged into the purple light curtain!

Feeling a flower in front of him, Shen Qing calmed down at the same time, with a move of his hand, a magic shield flashed out and blocked in front of him.

The protection was in place, and at this time, Shen Qingye had already seen the scenery behind this light curtain. What catches your eye is a large open space, and in the middle of the open space, there is a huge pool.

The empty space in front of him was not as smelly as the passage, and the bones were everywhere, but on the contrary, it was quite clean.

Shen Qing released his divine sense, probed around, and saw that there was no danger, so he casually collected the magic shield and walked slowly towards the pool.

The pool is so clear and transparent that you can see the bottom of the pool at a glance, and you can even see dozens of scales scattered at the bottom of the pool, so it is inferred that the unicorn python should usually be immersed in this pool.

Soon, Shen Qing took a clear look around the pool, and was pleasantly surprised to find that not far from the pool, there was actually a rolled python skin.

The one-horned python has a three-level demon beast level in the juvenile beast stage, and once in a thousand years, the one-horned python that is raging outside the pool has reached the level of a fourth-level demon beast.

Shen Qing stepped forward quickly, picked up the rolled python skin, and checked it casually, to his slight surprise, this shed python skin was not heavy, light and soft, just like a silk garment.

Shen Qing held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, this python skin was white all over, and it felt delicate and warm.

That one-horned python is at least a fourth-level demon beast level, and the value of the python skin shed is self-evident, it is definitely more than one grade higher than the black swamp rotting crocodile skin, Shen Qing naturally will not be polite, and happily put this one-horned python skin into the storage bag.

After collecting the python skin, Shen Qing wandered around this lair, this place was empty, it was clear at a glance, and he walked around, but there was nothing new to discover.

Shen Qing couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, and took great risks to enter the unicorn python's lair, but only got a molted python skin, which was far from the expectation in his heart.

Just when Shen Qing was disappointed and was about to leave here, suddenly, he felt a hot breath suddenly seeping into his body behind him.

Shen Qing was startled, turned around suddenly, and all he saw was a potholed stone wall.

Where does this heat come from?

Shen Qing was slightly puzzled, walked to the stone wall, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone wall.

After stroking the stone wall for a while, the hot air penetrated through the palm of his hand, and it was from the stone wall that Shen Qing was even more puzzled, and released his divine sense to carefully explore the stone wall in front of him, but he only probed for a while, but did not find any clues
