Chapter 357: Jade Bead Shows Might [Ask for Subscription]
Thanks to the reminder of the female cultivator of the Xueluo Palace, Zhou Chun ran to a nearby Fang Market directly under the Xueluo Palace in time, and exchanged for a Zhuji Dan from a Purple Mansion monk of the Xueluo Palace.
Although the Snow Soul Palace sent a lot of people to buy snow crystal insects all over the snow field, in fact, those people didn't have Tsukidan in their hands at all, they were just holding spirit coins or other treasures to buy snow crystal insects.
If you want to exchange it for a strategic treasure like Tsukidan, you can only gather three snow crystal worms once and come to Fang City to exchange them.
In fact, Zhou Chun also knew that the female cultivator of the Snow Spirit Palace and the Ice Armor Bear would have a conflict in the Snow Valley, and there must be some strange treasure in the Snow Valley.
But now he only wants to catch the Snow Crystal Insect King in exchange for the [Snow Soul Pill], and he doesn't want to cause more trouble.
After all, this snow field is the territory of the Xueluo Palace, and the female cultivator of the Xueluo Palace knows at a glance that there is also a background in the Xueluo Palace, and Zhou Chun doesn't want to make trouble for himself because of a small loss.
After he exchanged it for Tsukidan, he immediately left Fang City to look for an ice cave on the snowfield.
A few days passed, and the news about the cancellation of the Snow Crystal Worm's exchange for the Tsukidan bounty soon spread throughout the snowfield.
When many monks who came to this opportunity heard the news, they were so angry that they stomped their feet, sighed for a long time, and even more scolded Xueluo Palace for deliberately playing tricks.
In fact, Xueluo Palace's move is indeed a deliberate trick.
deliberately used Tsukidan to lure a large number of monks to help them catch snow crystal worms, and then when the number of purchases was enough, they unilaterally canceled the bounty as if they crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
But what can be done about it!
Xueluo Palace is huge, and they have this kind of capital to play people.
As for the scolding of the low-level cultivators, who cares?
After a few decades, all these low-level casual cultivators have died of old age, and how many people in the later scattered cultivators will know about this matter?
People, they are forgetful!
So he scolded and scolded, and after knowing that it was impossible to change the decision of the Snow Soul Palace, the monks on the snow field who came to catch the snow crystal insects quickly left more than eighty percent.
Only some monks who still want to catch snow crystal insects in exchange for spirit coins, or who want to capture snow crystal insect kings like Zhou Chun, are still drilling ice caves and exploring peaks on the snow field, and continue to run for the goal.
Without the interference of monks looking for snow crystal insects everywhere, Zhou Chun's caving efficiency has also improved.
And in the process of going down the hole again and again, he probably has some experience.
According to his observations, there is a high probability that there will be no snow crystal worms in the ice cave that is not stable enough, because it will collapse and disappear at any time.
However, in some semi-permanent ice caves, there may be traces of snow crystal insects.
Searching according to this, his efficiency of caving has increased again.
In the next four months, Zhou Chun found four more snow crystal insects in the ice cave according to the experience he had summarized, and caught two of them.
This result made him very excited, and he knew that he had found the right target.
So he was even more confident and went to find the Snow Crystal Worm King according to this method.
On this day, when Zhou Chun was exploring an ice cave, he encountered a collapse event again.
But unlike the many previous collapses he had encountered, this time it was the ice under his feet that fell and collapsed first, resulting in a series of collapses.
In this collapse, Zhou Chun was forced to fall with the ground, and he didn't know how deep he fell, before he was buried by countless solid ice.
Speaking of which, in fact, the risk of ice collapse is not as great as that of mountain collapse.
Because the ice cubes are very hard, and the older the ice is, the harder it becomes.
In this way, in the process of collapse, an immortal cultivator with strong divine sense and agile skills like Zhou Chun can find some corners with room to avoid like those survivors who suffered from the earthquake collapse.
During the foundation building period, the monks were already able to open the valley, and the storage bag often prepared pills such as the pill, even if they were buried under the glacier, they did not have to worry about dying due to starvation.
The many ice caves that he encountered in the past collapsed, and Zhou Chun survived it safely in this way.
Although the collapse this time was also unexpected, after he took the correct way to deal with it, he also survived until the end of the collapse without incident.
When the collapse was over, Zhou Chun released his divine sense to scan the surroundings with all his might, as he had done before.
There will still be a lot of gaps in the collapse of the ice formation, which will increase the detection depth of his divine sense scanning.
He can also use this scanning probe to find a suitable excavation site and dig up a passage to the surface.
But this time, after Zhou Chun released his divine sense to scan it, his face moved slightly, and he made a surprised sound.
It turned out that in Zhou Chun's scanning and detection, he actually discovered the existence of the stone.
"Is it because of a series of collapses that have caused you to fall to the bottom?"
Zhou Chun thought to himself, but he was a little happy in his heart.
Because it was obviously easier for him to dig a passage from the mud and rocky ground than to dig a passage on top of the hard but fragile collapsed ice.
So he immediately sacrificed his magic weapon to attack forward, and soon opened up a way forward for himself.
Not long after, Zhou Chun's figure appeared in an underground ice cave passage.
Yes, a brand new underground ice cave passage.
He wanted to dig an escape route through the mud and stone floor, but he accidentally discovered that the mud and stone floor should actually be an abyss cliff, and not far from the collapse site, there was a natural ice cave passage.
This discovery made Zhou Chun immediately give up the idea of escaping and began to explore this new underground ice cave instead.
This underground ice cave passage was probably created by the melting of ice water, and it was covered with frozen soil condensed with mud and rock, and hard blue ice above, the height of the top and bottom was not the same, but the difference was not too great.
The temperature was also low, but because no new moisture was coming in, it was impossible to condense more ice to block the passage.
Zhou Chun walked all the way along the passage, and after walking for about two or three hours, the road ahead was suddenly cut off.
At this time, he should be on the edge of a cliff, and in front of him was a thick ice of unknown depth.
If the underground ice cave passage was created by the melting of ice water, then the ice water should have rushed into the bottom of the cliff when it flowed through it, and then condensed into ice.
This result made Zhou Chun a little disappointed, he thought that he might find a natural permanent ice cave on the ground under his feet.
"But digging up from here, it should be easier to dig an escape route!"
Zhou Chun looked up at the hard ice above his head, and thought of it with comfort.
Frozen into clumps of ice, the excavated passages are certainly not prone to collapse, no matter how deep.
It's just that when Zhou Chun sacrificed the magic weapon and began to excavate, his face quickly changed.
It's so hard!
When he dug up the passage for about a dozen feet, the ice suddenly became extremely hard, and even the [Solar Golden Wheel] could not easily cut through the ice there.
This discovery made Zhou Chun's mood very heavy.
He already had a very bad guess.
If he expected it to be true, the thickness of the ice above his head now may be more than a thousand feet!
Generally speaking, it is only at this depth that the ice cube will be as hard as it is now.
Even if you look at the entire snowfield, there are very few places where the ice can reach a thousand feet thick.
"Could it be that I'm at the bottom of Sunken Lake now?"
Zhou Chun recalled the location of the entrance to the ice cave he had explored at the beginning, and found that that place was indeed not too far from the famous Shenri Lake on the snowfield.
And he had been walking in the ice cave for a short time, and after collapsing and being buried, he walked along the current ice cave for more than two hours.
According to the distance, it is indeed possible to enter the Sunken Lake.
Speaking of this Sunken Lake, there is also a legend.
Legend has it that Shenri Lake was the largest unfrozen lake on the snow field, the lake is thousands of feet deep, there are many fish and shrimp inhabiting it, and the lake is lush along the shore, it is the largest human habitat on the snow field, and it is also the holy lake in the mouth of the snow people.
At that time, standing on the top of the mountains to the east of Shenri Lake, you could clearly see the sun sinking into the lake in the west at dusk, hence the name "Shenri Lake".
But later, for some reason, the non-freezing lake of Shenri Lake was also frozen, and since then, only the legend of "Shenri Lake" exists on the snowfield, and the legendary snowfield holy lake can no longer be seen.
At this moment, after discovering that he was likely to be at the bottom of the Sunken Sun Lake, Zhou Chun couldn't help but worry.
There is no doubt that if you want to get from the bottom of the lake to the surface of the lake, you will have to dig a passage through the thousands of feet of ice above, which will be a very large project, and it is estimated that it will not be completed in a few months.
It seems like a good idea to go back to the place where it collapsed before and dig up the passage, but the ice in the place where the collapse has been unstable is likely to collapse again.
"No, if this is the bottom of the Sunken Lake, then what's going on here?"
Suddenly, Zhou Chun seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but look at the ice in front of him that was blocked by the road.
I saw that after a little silence, he took out his magic weapon and attacked the ice.
Sure enough, the surface of the ice was easily cut by the magic weapon, just as it was to cut through the ice on the ground of a snowfield.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately dug forward.
Dig where you are vulnerable, meditate on the spot to recover when your mana is empty, Zhou Chun relied on this tenacity, and after digging for three days and three nights, he reappeared in another ice cave.
The ice cave under his feet is still similar to the one in front of him, as if it has been washed out by water.
Zhou Chun walked along the ice cave, and after walking forward for almost half a day, a narrow hole suddenly appeared in front of him.
His magic weapon slammed into the ice near the entrance of the cave, easily shattering all the ice, and then a stone cave more than a foot high and several feet wide appeared in front of him.
This stone cave is the permanent ice cave that Zhou Chun has been looking for!
Looking at the ice cave in front of him, Zhou Chun did not rush into it, but first projected his divine sense into it and probed.
As he expected, the ice cave was very deep and thick with frost, but it showed no signs of life.
So he rested outside the cave for a long time, adjusted his condition to the best, and then walked into the ice cave to explore.
After walking like this for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chun's face suddenly moved, and there was obvious joy in his eyes.
Then he quickly lifted his feet off the ground and glided forward silently.
After a short time, as Zhou Chunyang raised his hand to shoot out a golden light, a snow crystal worm was captured by him and brought to him.
And the appearance of this snow crystal insect is just a good beginning.
In less than an hour, Zhou Chun caught three snow crystal insects in the ice cave in a row.
This unprecedented harvest made him feel excited.
He felt that what he had been looking for all along, maybe he might have met this time.
Not long after, Zhou Chun found a snow crystal insect again, and after he quietly arrived nearby, he wanted to concoct it and capture it in the same way.
But just as he was making a move, suddenly a powerful aura burst out from a few feet away from him, and then before he could see clearly what the owner of the breath was, a torrent of white cold qi fell on him, instantly freezing his whole body.
When it was, the unusually cold cold air froze Zhou Chun in it, and the cold air went straight to his heart.
If his heart veins are frozen, even if Zhou Chun is already a monk in the late stage of foundation building, he will definitely die!
But at this time, Zhou Chun himself had no choice, his mana was vulnerable in the face of that cold air, and he couldn't resist the invasion of the cold air at all.
A sense of despair that he had never felt before appeared in his heart, and he thought that this time he was going to die.
However, just when he was desperate and ready to die, a vigorous suction suddenly appeared from his dantian, and then the cold qi in various places in his body was sucked into his dantian as if he had been summoned by some kind of summoning.
In just the blink of an eye, the cold ice condensed on Zhou Chun's body shattered, and others instantly regained their ability to move.
At this time, he also found the thing that sneaked up on him, and saw that it was a white demon beast like an axont, and the aura emanating from its body had reached the third order, and it was even likely to be a third-order high-grade demon beast!
Such a powerful demon beast even used this way to sneak attack himself, and Zhou Chun really obeyed this sixth man.
Fortunately, the mysterious jade bead in his body that he had obtained from the wilderness suddenly became powerful and saved his life.
Otherwise, he, Zhou Chun, really has to explain that he is here today, and he will be reduced to demon beast food.
But the danger has not passed.
After the salamander demon beast froze Zhou Chun, it had already opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth and bit Zhou Chun.
It originally wanted to swallow Zhou Chun, who was frozen by its own cold air, directly, but it didn't expect Zhou Chun to be able to be unharmed in the cold air it spit out.
So when the frost on Zhou Chun's body shattered, it was also very surprised, and even paused slightly to bite the big mouth that came up.
It was this pause that gave Zhou Chun a chance to get out.
He moved, quickly moved a few feet to the side, avoiding the bite of the big mouth, and then wanted to raise his hand to pat the storage bag and sacrifice the magic weapon.
But at this moment, a strange roar suddenly sounded from his body.
After hearing this roar, Zhou Chun and the salamander demon beast were both slightly stunned, and their consciousness was in a trance for a moment.
Immediately after that, just like the fire god jackal and the golden-winged tiger who heard this strange roar, the salamander demon beast was instantly frightened, and before Zhou Chun could react, it had already turned into a white phantom and disappeared into the ice cave, the speed was incredibly fast.
The first one is sent!
