After the eldest Sun Ning left, Qin Tao wandered in the woods. Those black-clothed men had already left the realm of Yunzhao City after a night of wild running, so even if they wanted to go back, they would have to walk for a long time.

In fact, Qin Tao really wanted to leave and go to the Haoling Empire alone. But after thinking about it, Dongdong was still in Yanjing, and he had promised Tang Xuexin to take her with him, so he finally decided to return to Yunzhao City.

Through the gap between the leaves, Qin Tao unconsciously saw a vast mountain ridge, and thought in his heart that this forest should be in the depths of the mountain.

According to the direction of the sun, Qin Tao roughly determined the direction, but the problem was that he didn't know which direction the group of black-clothed people were going. Even though he had discerned the direction now, he still couldn't determine where to go was the right way back to Yunzhao City.

"Well, let's find a direction first, and I'm not in a hurry to go back anyway. Qin Tao muttered to himself and walked along the rugged and vague path.

Qin Tao didn't know that just as he was groping for the direction of the forest, Yunzhao City could be regarded as exploding.

The news of Lu Tao's disappearance soon reached Ye Xiaocheng's ears, and immediately the Purple Moon King began to search for Qin Tao with all his strength. As for the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Tang Zhan also ordered an all-out investigation into the identity of the assassin who kidnapped Qin Tao.

Tang Xuexin was even more anxious and worried, although she was still staying in the mansion, any news that the Ten Thousand Demon Sect got would pass through her. However, after a whole day of searching, there was no news about Qin Tao in Yanjing.

Looking at the night sky in a daze, Tang Xuexin's heart tugged together, and she murmured softly: "Qin Tao, where are you......"

After eating a roast chicken beautifully, Qin Tao leaned comfortably against a sleek mountain rock, holding a very thin grass stalk in his mouth, leisurely looking at the night sky full of stars.

Looking at Qin Tao, he felt sleepy, but he didn't have the heart to sleep, so Suo took stock of the things in the soul ring to pass the time.

"Alas...... It is estimated that the pure source of blue water must be on those people in black......" Qin Tao sighed.

After extinguishing the fire, Qin Tao decided to go back the way he came, and went to search the bodies of those men in black. After all, the Blue Water Pure Source was too important to him, and it was the treasure that made the Ice Emperor awaken.

Taking advantage of the night, Qin Tao walked quickly, but although he returned the same way, he found that the things around him were slightly different from before.

"Am I going the wrong way?" ...... "Qin Tao was puzzled.

But when he noticed that his surroundings suddenly became unusually cold, he was truly sure that he was lost.

It was spring, and the appearance of winter was long gone, even if it was in the deep mountains and old forests, it was impossible for such a cold weather, how could such a strange phenomenon not surprise Qin Tao.

With curiosity, Qin Tao quickly swept through the pine-like trees, feeling the cold in the abnormal weather and the cold air-spring floating in the air, and the surprise in his heart became even stronger.

The cold air was getting stronger and stronger, and Qin Tao, who was thinly dressed, unconsciously hugged his arms with his hands, but a pair of eyes were still staring curiously at the pitch darkness ahead.

There was no more vague path here, Qin Tao could only walk in the direction of the cold air, and as the cold increased, the surrounding trees became scarce, and the thick trunk was also covered with white frost.

The red flames poured out of his hands and gradually spread to all parts of his body, Qin Tao finally couldn't resist the erosion of the cold air, and chose to use the flames to keep warm.

The warm flames wrapped him tightly and kept the cold out. But just when he felt a slight relief, a lake that was frozen like a mirror appeared in his sight.

Standing on the edge of the ice lake in a daze, Qin Tao couldn't believe everything in front of him, there was a glacial lake surrounded by trees, especially the thick ice layer and the cold air of the forest were all very different from the season at this time.

Walking onto the lake that was as smooth as a mirror, looking at the clear figure reflected on the ice, and trying the thickness of the ice layer vigorously, Qin Tao sighed softly.

There was not a hint of wind in the air, and the cold air rose from the ice, and from a distance it looked as if boiling water was steaming white, but there was no warmth at all.

Qin Tao walked towards the center of the lake, and he found that a big hole had been broken in the ice in the center, and the lake under the ice was unusually calm, but the cold did not reduce by a point.

The diameter of the cave was about three zhang, and Qin Tao stood on the edge and stared at the calm lake through the luster of the moonlight, unconsciously strengthening the flames a little.

Obviously, Qin Tao found that there must be something powerful hidden at the bottom of the dark and deep lake, and it was gradually floating towards the water.

"Since you are wrong, it is better to leave quickly. Qin Tao thought to himself, and he had already taken the step of leaving.

But before he could go far, there was a dull rumbling sound at the bottom of the lake, and then the water in the cave began to churn violently, and the ice at the edge of the cave was cracked in a huge way.

The secret path in his heart was not good, Qin Tao's feet immediately condensed flames, and his body swept up at the same time, escaping from the ice lake at the fastest speed.

At this moment, only a loud sound was heard in the ice cave, and the column of water that rushed to the sky broke through the ice layer and suddenly rose, and the water splashed like a big wave set off by the wind, and turned into ice crystals in the sky under the erosion of the cold air.

In an instant, a huge black shadow emerged from the surface of the lake, and rose in the spray of water, looking like a mountain standing on the thick ice.

The appearance of the black shadow was accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, setting off a strong and bitter cold wind on the ice. Suddenly, a wave of drainage and cold air formed a kind of ice blade-like impact, rushing towards the woods around the glacial lake with the fierce wind.

The impact made a piercing whistling sound on the ice, and Qin Tao immediately stepped on the ground and jumped into the air the moment the ice blade reached his feet.

The scorching flames melted the ice crystals in the air, and the mist that turned out hit Qin Tao's cheeks with the help of the cold wind, which immediately made him shiver.

With another roar, Qin Tao gritted his teeth with all his might, and shot a circle of blazing flames around his body, then turned around to face the unknown black shadow.

But when he saw the black shadow in the splash, he couldn't help but gasp, and immediately exclaimed, "Blood-eyed catfish!"

Blood-eyed catfish, a rare aquatic soul beast, is also a kind of amphibious soul beast. The huge body of the catfish, the powerful and powerful huge hind legs, and the extremely cold ice qi that spewed wantonly from the snort, only a pair of fish eyes were as small as honeycombs but blood-red as blood.

A pair of small eyes stared at Qin Tao, who was like a ball of fire, his two small front paws swayed wildly, and the blood-eyed catfish dragged his heavy body in the direction of Qin Tao.

With each step, the two hind legs of the catfish hit the thick ice like stone pillars, smashing the ice into the slightest crack. It's clear that this monster-like guy is power-oriented.

Seeing the blood-eyed catfish staring at his cold gaze, Qin Tao's heart trembled, and he secretly said: "It seems that I have disturbed its sweet dream......" In terms of strength, he is definitely not the opponent of the blood-eyed catfish, so he must take other methods.

Qin Tao was thinking about the method of attack while landing on the ice, but he didn't expect the blood-eyed catfish to spew out a cloud of ice gas at him.

Hurriedly dodging, Qin Tao punched the void beside him fiercely, and his body swept to the side with the recoil force that erupted.

And the ice gas is many times stronger than the cold air on the lake, and the water scattered on the ice layer has been frozen into solid ice, and the air is eroded by the ice gas to rattle.

"It's dangerous, if I get hit by that thing, I'll have to turn into ice. Qin Tao stared at the condensed ice and secretly exclaimed.

A cloud of ice gas was nothing more than an appetizer for the blood-eyed catfish, and then the behemoth grinned its thick lips, revealing a purple tongue and a mouth as black as a black hole.

Qin Tao looked at the mouth as big as a mountain and the cold air that kept coming out of it, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn, what kind of monster is this, a fish is not like a fish, and a beast is not like a beast." ”

The purple tongue licked in his mouth, and at the same time, the blood-red fish eyes of the blood-eyed catfish stared at him, and then a cold ice gas erupted from the huge mouth.

With the help of the wind on the lake, the extremely cold ice qi rushed towards Qin Tao like a white mist, and the surrounding water splash was condensed into ice crystals the moment it came into contact with the ice qi.

Qin Tao, who had never thought of such a method as the Blood-Eyed Catfish, was a little flustered, he couldn't think of any way to escape except flying, but the white mist and ice qi were about to pounce soon, and he didn't have time.

In an instant, a flash of inspiration flashed in Qin Tao's mind, and he immediately put his fists together and blasted a "fire dragon roar" at the thick ice under his feet. The long blade of fire collided with the ice in a very short distance, and suddenly burst into a strong fire, and the ice also cracked into a man-wide ice hole in the sudden impact.

Without hesitation, Qin Tao jumped into the icy lake water, even though he had a flame protector, he still felt a trace of cold, but fortunately, he escaped a catastrophe.

The blood-eyed catfish naturally saw Qin Tao's escape, and immediately roared in displeasure, and the huge catfish tail flicked to the sides, and suddenly made two huge ice holes on both sides of its body.

Then, the blood-eyed catfish casually spat out a cloud of ice gas into the lake water in the ice cave. In an instant, I saw that the lake under the ice began to freeze and gradually spread to the bottom of the lake.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the wet Qin Tao broke through the ice and came ashore, but there were still some ice crystals hanging on his body.

The blood-red fish's eyes bent slightly, and the blood-eyed catfish seemed to roar with satisfaction, and then it spewed out a large mouthful of ice gas at Qin Tao.
