Volume 2 The Man in Purple on the Distant Peak Chapter 122 The Ice Wheel Cicada Molts
The Cold Ice Plain is rich in ice wheel silkworms, but its exchange merits are twice as much as the Demon Wolf Skin, and with the support of Liu Qingyi, a genuine purple-clothed disciple, it should be more abundant than the Demon Wolf Ridge.
The so-called wealth and danger are sought, and even Xu Xiangying, who has always pursued stability, gradually changed his concept after a day of hunting and fighting in Demon Wolf Ridge.
Cultivation lies in the word "fight", and only by constantly striving for progress, thriving the power of the soul to fight for life, taking chestnuts from the fire again and again, and moving forward with perseverance, can it be possible to seize the slightest opportunity to become stronger.
Coveting the ten points of merit of the gray-clothed disciple every month, and not being willing to take the task of the sect and take a risk, finally rebelled against the immortal path and became inferior.
The night passed in a hurry, and the three of them got up early in the morning and headed straight for the cold ice field.
The Cold Ice Field, located in the Heavenly Beast Mountain, is a large mountaintop plain covered with ice and snow all year round, covered with a low thick-skinned vegetation similar to a coniferous forest, and there are two extremely powerful ice monsters living on the plain, one is called the frost annihilation centipede, and the other is the ice wheel cicada.
The molt required in this mission is the molting of the cicada's shell that grows to maturity, which is a relatively common product on the ice field, and can be collected as long as you find the colony of the cicada.
In the white misty sky, the purple spirit ring slowly descended, and the landing point was in a leeward valley on the cold ice field, surrounded by white snow and kaikai, and the cold wind mixed with frost flowers poured straight into the placket, making the three people who had just landed all excited.
In such bad weather, if ordinary people were already frozen, fortunately, the three of them were very human, and they all mobilized the spiritual energy in their bodies to circulate the meridians around their bodies, and the slightest white qi overflowed, and the cold current in their bodies was evaporated, and their bodies regained their warm and warm feelings.
Liu Qingyi looked around for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Senior Sister Zuo, do you remember the location where you found the Ice Wheel Cicada last time?"
Zuo Shu pointed in a direction and said, "Dozens of miles forward here, you can see a large snowfield needle forest, in which there are many ice wheel cicadas activity, I found cicadas on the periphery of the forest last time."
Liu Qingyi said, "Then you lead the way, and we will go over."
Zuo Shu nodded, looked at Xu Xiangying on the side and said, "Senior Brother Xu, if you encounter a frost annibalis centipede on the road for a while, remember to deal with it with fire. As long as it doesn't continue to fight with it, the Frost Oblivion Centipede won't continue to attack if it misses a single blow."
Xu Xiangying said solemnly: "I wrote it down, thank you Senior Sister Zuo for reminding me."
After Zuo Shu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out first, and Liu Xu and the others followed all the way.
From here, the frost winds became stronger and more frequent, and the vegetation was low, towering in the ice and snow, accompanied by a shrill hissing sound.
The three of them walked less than a mile, and there was goose feather snow in the sky, and the white ground that could not be seen at a glance, three small black dots walked step by step, and the large series of footprints left behind were immediately covered by ice and snow, as if there was no trace of this heaven and earth in the first place.
Walking to a mountain recess, Liu Qingyi used Yuan Li to shake away a few snowflakes that fell on his forehead, and said a little impatiently: "Senior Sister Zuo, why don't I sacrifice the spirit ring to take you over, it will be too troublesome to walk like this."
Zuo Shu hesitated and said, "The last time I came to the Cold Ice Field, I also walked like this, the mountain recess here is the place I passed, and the direction is not wrong, I am afraid that I will fly with you in the sky, but I will lose the reference and find the way."
"Sure enough, women are road idiots!" Liu Qingyi sighed secretly in his heart, and said helplessly: "That's still walking, I don't know how long I have to walk." After that, he looked at Xu Xiangying, who was walking at the end, with some concern, and asked a little anxiously, "Senior brother, can you still persevere?"
Xu Xiangying is not in a good state at the moment, he is only the second-layer realm of the spirit refining period, not only has to use his skills to resist the cold, but he has been using the Fengxing technique for more than an hour in a row, and the spiritual power consumption is quite heavy, Liu Qingyi and Zuo Shu are afraid of pulling him down too much, so they have reduced their speed early and accompanied him to move forward at a high speed.
"Che, how much of a problem can this be for this distance? Naturally, I can hold on, just wait for me to breathe." Xu Xiangying said that he had already squatted on the snow slope on the side of the mountain, closed his eyes, calmed down, and began to operate the Void Heaven Gong.
"!" Liu Qingyi was angry and funny, so he had to accompany him with Zuo Shu on the snow slope
Side wait up.
After a moment like this, Xu Xiangying finally got up, and was about to beckon the two of them to continue walking, but unexpectedly, a white object suddenly rose from a snowdrift in the recess of the mountain, and hit him straight in the face.
"Oh!" In a hurry, Xu Xiangying was startled, shouted, and retreated backwards, his back was on the snow slope within a few steps.
With this delay, the white thing had already approached, Xu Xiangying opened his eyes wide and could see clearly, a huge snow-white centipede was biting at the top of his head with teeth and claws, and there was still blue-green saliva hanging on the jaws.
"It's over!" Xu Xiangying's face turned pale, his limbs stiffened for a while, and he was careful that his liver fluttered and sank straight down.
"Poof"
In the next moment, I saw a flash of blue light, and the snow-white centipede suddenly relaxed, and its entire torso was cut open by a sharp object, split into two halves and thrown backwards. The internal organs were sprinkled with blue-green body fluids, which made Xu Xiangying stunned on the spot.
Zuo Shu was not surprised, and said coquettishly: "Senior Brother Liu, your flying sword technique seems to have made great progress, much faster than before. This frost annihilation centipede was slashed and killed almost without any reaction, has the Tongyuan realm really improved so much?"
Liu Qingyi smiled faintly and said nothing, recalled the cyan flying sword in his hand, walked to the corpse of the frost annihilation centipede, and poked the centipede's head with the tip of the sword, and soon pulled out a shiny snow-white thing, which was the beast Yuan Jing that this demon was born in the skull.
Xu Xiangying wiped a handful of cold sweat, cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Senior brother, fortunately there are you, otherwise my old brother and I would have confessed to this old life." After that, he looked at the cyan long sword in Liu Qingyi's hand, and said suspiciously, "You actually know how to fly the sword and manipulate the imperial technique? Where did you learn it? You don't teach that inside the door."
Liu Qingyi cracked his mouth and smiled: "Hey, Pocai, there are still many things you don't know, so you shouldn't know about this."
The corners of Xu Xiangying's mouth twitched, and he only listened to Zuo Shu on the side and explained, "Senior Brother Xu, remember to use fire next time, this thing is afraid of fire."
Xu Xiangying nodded again and again when he heard this, and said curtly: "I forgot all about it when I was nervous just now, and I just wanted to hide back, and I must remember to use fire next time."
Liu Qingyi took the beast Yuanjing, put the flying sword into the sword bag, and urged the two of them: "Without further ado, let's continue on our way."
Zuo Shu nodded, and when he came out with a water embroidery knife in his hand, he led Liu and Xu out of this mountain recess after a short time.
Liu Qingyi memorized the coordinates along the way to save time when he returned, while Xu Xiangying asked Zuo Shu about the situation of the frost annihilation centipede.
According to Zuo Shu, this frost annihilation centipede has both females and males, and the female centipede mostly sprays venom from a distance, and will also fire a kind of arrow when it encounters danger, which is a knotted thorn on the body, which is also extremely poisonous.
Male centipedes are mostly rough and thick-skinned, with extremely amazing defense, a pair of thin limbs under the jaws that are stronger than gold and iron, and prefer to attack in close quarters. When this beast attacks, it will also release frost energy, freezing an area within a few feet in front of it, which will affect the target's ability to move, and can even freeze the target to death on the spot.
Xu Xiangying's hands and feet were stiff at the critical moment when he was attacked by that centipede, thinking that it was the frost technique released by the male centipede.
This beast is a relatively difficult existence in the Heavenly Beast Mountain, and one or two alone are not terrible, if there are too many of them, it is simply a nightmare for a cultivator in the Spiritual Tempering Period.
Spirited monks can't fly in the air, and if they encounter a large area of frost annihilation centipedes, this combination of attacks from far and near, as well as venom and frost covering the ground, is almost impossible to dodge, and it can be described as a game of nine deaths and a lifetime.
The three of them walked for more than an hour, and came to the forest that Zuo Shu said, and the three frost annihilation centipedes they encountered along the way were easily solved by Liu Qingyi with a flying sword.
At this moment, the three of them stopped dozens of meters away, looking at this snow forest from a distance, during which the scenery reminded Liu Qingyi of the two poems of the mountain dance silver snake and the original Chi wax elephant, those leaves as hideous as long needles, are stabbing at the gray sky with teeth and claws, the snowflakes are misty, the forest is full of shadows, and the world is cold and bleak.
The three of them were hesitating, and suddenly saw a few figures in the snow forest, but they were Luo Chong and the Feng family
The brothers and Wu Wanyu and his entourage, after a short pause, surrounded a huge cedar tree not far away.
Liu Qingyi and Zuo Shu had better eyesight, and looked at the cedar tree intently, only to see three or four white flying insects flying up from the tree, refusing to rush to Luo Chong and the others.
"Ice Wheel Cicada Moults!" Zuo Shuxi screamed, raised his hand and pointed at the cedar tree behind the flying insects, only to see that there was a lot of snow on the trunk of the tree, and three or four black attachments were extremely eye-catching.
The white flying insect that flew up earlier was the special demon beast Ice Wheel Cicada in the depths of the Cold Ice Field, and when they gathered together at this moment, they thought that they had just shed their shells.
At first glance, it became a flying insect, and its body organs did not seem to have fully adapted to it, and there was still a trace of mucus on its open mouthparts, and its wings were a little crooked when they flew.
Born as a monster beast, the natural territory consciousness is extremely strong, even this newborn Xiaoice wheel cicada, does not tolerate human humiliation, at this moment these little cicadas are staring at the few people in front of them, the dissatisfaction can be imagined.
While Luo Chong and the others were confronting those ice wheel cicadas, Zuo Shu had already led Liu and Xu to jump into the snow forest around the bend, and quickly leaned towards the big tree with the cicadas hanging on it.
A screaming sound came, Luo Chong and his party had already moved their hands with a few ice wheel cicadas, only to see that the white slime was constantly spewing out from the mouthparts of the ice wheel cicadas, and the screaming sound gradually became a piece, as if it had the ability to attack with sound waves, and even Liu Qingyi, who was far away, was affected, and there was a burst of swelling pain in his head.
Over there, Luo Chong and a few people sacrificed a small spirit shield to resist the white slime, and while enduring the howling, they each sacrificed a purple spirit ring to hit it.
Wu Wanyu stood aside, her face was slightly pale, and she didn't help, but leaned over and leaned behind a few ice wheel cicadas, intending to pick the cicadas from the cedar tree first.
Zuo Shu, who had approached the front, rushed up with an arrow step in the ground, blocked in front of Wu Wanyu, and chuckled, "What are you doing? This is mine, I have already found these cicadas, and I am about to collect them, please find another one and do not disturb."
"What? We found it first." Wu Wanyu said angrily.
Zuo Shuyi said solemnly: "I said that I saw it first, I saw it first, is it possible that you want to rob it, if you really want to disregard the friendship of the same family like this, then don't blame me for not recognizing people with the water embroidery knife in my hand." After speaking, he danced the long knife in his hand twice and looked at Wu Wanyu defiantly.
