Sitting quietly on the ice, Qin Tao told Zhou Ling about what had happened recently. From leaving the Guma Mountains to helping Li Rongrong fight the Sword Emperor to tens of thousands of demon sects assassinating Leng Yuntian for Tang Zhan and finally rescuing the square, Qin Tao told Zhou Ling carefully one by one.

After listening to Qin Tao's story, Zhou Ling stroked his beard and sighed softly: "It seems that the old man has missed a lot of good shows." ”

Qin Tao grinned: "Grandpa Bing, now the Purple Moon Empire can treat me as a celebrity, and the Haoling Empire probably hates me to the core." ”

The fingers brushing his beard stopped, and Zhou Ling suddenly asked, "Tao'er, is there any action on the Sword Cloud Sect's side?"

After trying to think about it for a while, Qin Tao shook his head: "No." I only met the Sword Emperor Buchen, and the rest were the Emperor of Haoling [***]. ”

Zhou Ling's eyebrows froze unconsciously, and he muttered in a low voice: "No......"

"What's wrong, Grandpa Bing?"

"I just think that the Sword Cloud Sect can't be so quiet, it's very likely that they are planning some conspiracy. Zhou Ling concluded.

"Oh, judging from the recent past, it seems that the Haoling Empire and the Sword Cloud Sect have been suffering, but their top figures have not taken any measures, which is really strange. ”

"So, it seems that this Sword Cloud Sect has some kind of conspiracy. ”

Qin Tao was silent, the conspiracy of the Sword Cloud Sect was definitely aimed at him and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, and perhaps even the Purple Moon Empire would be implicated. But it is extremely difficult to find out the contents of the conspiracy.

"By the way, Grandpa Bing, the Purple Moon King asked me to help him find out the Annihilation hidden in the Empire. Qin Tao suddenly spoke.

"Oh, it seems that Yanjing is no longer safe. Tao'er, have you started to check?"

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "A promise is a promise, but I just don't know how to check ......"

Zhou Ling stroked his beard and said, "Maybe you should ask Li Rongrong." ”

Qin Tao was startled for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Ask my sister, can she know?"

"Actually, who is the person you can trust the most in the Purple Moon Empire?" Zhou Ling asked rhetorically.

Qin Tao looked at the night sky, then shook his head, and responded: "I'm afraid there is no one else except Tang Xuexin......

"yes. Tao'er, think about it, you are an outsider of the Purple Moon Empire, although it can be trusted to the king, but it is really difficult for you to check a deep-rooted annihilation. Therefore, you have to find someone who you can believe. ”

"Isn't Xue Xin good?" Qin Tao hurriedly asked.

"If the Annihilation involves the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, how do you think Tang Xuexin will react. ”

Hearing this, Qin Tao lowered his head and sighed. He naturally believed in Tang Xuexin very much, but he had to choose someone else in this matter, but Li Rongrong was not someone who could make him fully believe.

With a long sigh, Qin Tao looked at the stars in the night sky and said, "It's better for me to check it myself slowly." ”

Zhou Ling nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Qin Tao smiled at Zhou Ling, then stood up and said, "Grandpa Bing, let's go, Dongdong is still in Yanjing." ”

But Zhou Ling smiled mysteriously and stopped: "Tao'er, don't you want to know what's under this ice lake?"

Hearing this, Qin Tao scratched his head in surprise and asked puzzledly, "Grandpa Bing, is there something at the bottom of this lake?"

Zhou Ling stroked his beard and said, "I took a closer look here just now, I'm not sure how you got here, Tao'er, but this ice lake is rumored outside." ”

"Oh, what rumors?"

"This forest is called the 'Lost Forest', and this glacial lake is a strange place in the forest, and it is rumored that there is a treasure hidden under this glacial lake, which is absolutely mouth-watering. ”

"Then why hasn't this ice lake been discovered?" Qin Tao asked.

"That's where the Lost Forest comes in. I just don't know how the kidnappers of you would have thought of entering the Lost Forest, and it would be difficult to get out of here if you can't fly. ”

"Then, can't I get out......

"Probably so. Zhou Ling said with a smile.

Qin Tao was speechless for a while, he didn't expect that he was taken to such a place, and he was really lost in the Lost Forest.

Seeing that Qin Tao was a little frustrated, Zhou Ling comforted: "Tao'er, don't worry, there is always a way to get out." Let's take a look at what's at the bottom of the lake. ”

Since you can't get out, and there is a treasure hidden under the ice lake, then ask for the surname to go in and investigate.

Nodding slightly, Qin Tao walked up to the ice cave that he had broken and said, "Grandpa Bing, then let's go down and have a look." ”

After speaking, Zhou Ling entered the Ice Crystal Ring, Qin Tao took a deep breath, and then jumped into the ice lake without hesitation.

The ice dragon pattern lit up on his left arm, and Qin Tao's body was wrapped in the cold air of the ice genus, but the temperature under the water surface was much better than above, and there was no such biting cold.

However, there are still a lot of undercurrents underwater, and Qin Tao struggles to dive down while constantly avoiding the undercurrents that rush in from time to time.

With the faint blue halo lit up by the ice dragon pattern, Qin Tao could distinguish things within ten meters of the surroundings, but the bottom of the lake seemed to be extremely deep, and Qin Tao swam for half an hour without reaching it.

Suddenly, an undercurrent rushed from Qin Tao's left rib, and Qin Tao, who felt strong fluctuations, immediately used his strength to float up. However, what he didn't expect was that there was another undercurrent above.

The strong impact of the water knocked Qin Tao into the air, although he had soul qi to protect his body, it was difficult to resist the momentum of the undercurrent. However, this undercurrent twisted and coiled underwater like a long snake, rushing Qin Tao so that he couldn't figure out the direction.

"Don't be afraid, since you have encountered an undercurrent, then follow it and take a look. Zhou Ling's voice appeared in Qin Tao's ears and comforted.

Qin Tao nodded, then turned his body and followed the trend of the undercurrent, allowing the current to impact.

After a while, when Qin Tao was enjoying the help of the undercurrent, suddenly he fell out of the undercurrent, and his body dived as quickly as a rock.

"Could it be that there is an undercurrent above his head again?" Qin Tao said to himself in surprise.

During the rapid dive, Qin Tao suddenly looked down and couldn't help but be shocked for a long time. Because a huge purple dragon appeared in his sight.

"Tao'er, this should be the bottom of the lake. Zhou Ling's voice came out again.

The originally dark bottom of the lake was now covered with purple light, and the purple dragon was lying quietly on the ground, as if it was sleeping.

Qin Tao hurriedly rushed to the ground with his feet to stop his body from diving, but his eyes were observing the long dragon without blinking, and his ears were already pricked up to listen to the movement at the bottom of the lake.

But when he looked into Changlong's eyes, he couldn't help but relax. Because the eyes of this long dragon did not have a trace of life, it looked more like two dry rocks from a distance.

Seeing that the long dragon was not threatening, Qin Tao dived again, but when he came into contact with the purple light, he couldn't help but be stunned halfway.

"Grandpa Bing, do you feel it?" this breath ......," Qin Tao said as if surprised.

"Hmm. It's so strong that it's evil, and it's also very strong. ”

As if afraid of the powerful yin and evil aura, Qin Tao didn't continue to dive, but just looked at the dead and silent long dragon from a distance. However, at this moment, a vague black line quietly appeared on his back.

"Tao'er, replace the ice gas with flames, let's go down and have a look. Zhou Ling admonished.

Qin Tao nodded, immediately replaced the ice qi around his body with flames, and dived towards the dragon at the bottom of the lake as Zhou Ling said.

The closer you get to the bottom of the lake, the more intense the yin and evil aura becomes, and the black lines behind Qin Tao become extremely clear. As the distance narrowed, Qin Tao found that this long dragon was not a soul beast in the first place, because its entire body was made of rocks.

However, the purple light containing the evil aura emanated from the inside of the rock, so from a distance, it looked like a long purple dragon entrenched at the bottom of the lake.

Increasing the flames, Qin Tao struggled to dive next to the giant dragon and touched the composed rock with his hand. Identical to the rocks in the outside world, this long dragon is indeed not a soul beast, but a real rock dragon.

Although it is a rock dragon, this giant dragon has been carved very realistically, the scales of the dragon's body are carved extremely delicately, and those dragon fins are even more lifelike under the impact of the water.

Stroking the dragon's body, Qin Tao swam towards the dragon's head, and couldn't help but admire: "What a delicate carving......"

Even the dragon's head shocked Qin Tao, except for a pair of lifeless dragon eyes, the other parts were the same as the real dragon.

Zhou Ling, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Tao'er, this seems to be a dragon vein. ”

"Dragon vein?" Qin Tao was very curious.

"Well, more precisely, a purple dragon vein. ”

"Purple Dragon Vein, what is that?" Qin Tao asked, touching the dragon's head, puzzled.

With a heavy gasp, Zhou Ling said, "This Purple Evil Dragon Vein is an evil art, which is specialized in refining and guarding soul beasts. ”

"Guarding soul beasts, can soul beasts still be refined?" Qin Tao looked stunned.

"Guarding soul beasts are more precisely summoned, and the level depends on the level of the soul beast chosen by the refiner. ”

Qin Tao was very puzzled, as if listening to a book from heaven.

Seeing that Qin Tao didn't say anything, Zhou Ling continued to explain: "Let's put it this way, Tao'er, this guardian soul beast is like your fire dragon phantom, except that they are refined, and they obey the orders of the refiner. ”

"Oh, that's right, so what's going on with this dragon vein?"

"This dragon vein is the place where the blood of the soul beast is stored, as for why it is a dragon vein, it is that this refiner wants to refine a dragon guard. ”

"Ah, the guardian soul beast turned out to be a dragon. Qin Tao was already a little stunned.

"Refining Guardian Soul Beasts, especially Dragon Soul Beasts, requires an extremely large amount of soul beast blood, and it also requires fusing the souls of those dead soul beasts. In this way, the blood and the revenant soul will gather together to form a powerful evil aura, which is why the purple light has such a strong yin and evil aura. ”

"Why did the refiner choose the bottom of this lake for refining?"

"There's no way to know, this kind of magic attaches great importance to things like feng shui, and I don't know the specifics. However, in my opinion, the bottom of this lake must have the ability to warm and nourish evil spirits. ”
