Chapter 196: Hundred-Year-Old Snow Monster
Mo Cong entered the hall on the first floor with some timidity, and saw that the woman was sitting upright on the chair, casually poured a cup of tea for Chu Ci, and filled another empty cup, and greeted Mo Cong lukewarmly:
"I'm tired, come over for a cup of tea!"
The woman was dressed in a white robe, with a soft posture, high peaks bulging out of her chest, and her movements were very elegant, except that she wore a bamboo hat on her head, and the edge of the hat was covered by a black veil, so that her face could not be seen at all. However, through the delicate skin on her hands, Mo Cong judged that this woman was not very old.
Mo Cong thought that he had opened his spiritual eyes so that he could see her, and stepped forward and arched his hand: "Thank you, senior." But he did not take his eyes off the woman.
"Brother Mo Cong, what are you looking at?" Chu Ci glanced at him unhappily.
"Hehe!" Mo Cong was smug, grinned and pointed at the woman, and said, "Senior sister, I can see my seniors!"
Chu Ci subconsciously looked at the woman, and the woman's hat also turned, obviously she was looking at Chu Ci.
Chu Ci said with an embarrassed face: "Senior, don't mind, my Brother Mo Cong is like this, like a child." He turned his face to Mo Cong and said, "Mo Cong, it is the predecessor who appeared by himself." β
"Heh!" The woman smiled lightly: "He thought he could see me if he opened his spiritual eyes, he was a father, and his thinking was still so naΓ―ve." β
Mo Cong's face turned from red to white, and then from white to red, a pair of big sultry eyes looked at Chu Ci, then at the woman, and sneered: "Senior, don't make such a joke!"
"What can I do with you?" said the woman disdainfully. After speaking, he instructed Chu Ci and said, "Xiao Chu, go and swallow the ice lotus, do it according to the method I said." β
"Yes, thank you seniors for your advice!" Chu Ci bowed politely, took the half of the ice lotus from Mo Cong's hand, turned back to the woman and smiled and nodded, and walked out of the door.
The woman saw that Mo Cong was still standing stupidly, and said unhappily: "Why are you still standing? You can go too, and when Chu Ci takes that half of the lotus, you will go on the road!" Mo Cong used his power to open his spiritual eyes and look around, but he didn't see half a figure.
"With this bit of cultivation of yours, you also want to find me?
"This!" Mo Cong was really unwilling, and wanted to try again, but was pushed out of the door by an invisible force, and just after stepping out of the door, the stone door slammed shut.
Even though Mo Cong and Chu Ci's cultivation was not enough to see the woman's actions clearly, her spiritual power suddenly increased by two levels, increasing her body's ability to resist the cold. When I crossed the two cold wind belts again, it was like walking normally, and I didn't feel strained at all.
Along the way, Mo Cong always wanted to inquire about Chu Ci beside him, what did the woman say to her, but she was embarrassed to speak a few times, and Chu Ci didn't say a word, as if she was deliberately selling off to him. Seeing that there was the terrifying ice and snow forest in front of him, Mo Cong finally couldn't help it and asked:
"Senior sister, what did she say to you?"
"Heh!" Chu Ci pursed his lips and smiled, tilted his head sideways to look at him and said, "You finally can't help it!"
"I," Mo Cong rolled his eyes helplessly, and said unhappily: "What else are you selling with me!"
Looking at Mo Cong's pitiful look, Chu Ci covered his mouth and couldn't help giggling.
"Senior sister!" Mo Cong sat on the snow, his self-esteem was greatly hit, and he said angrily: "I'm not leaving!"
"Brother Mo Cong!" Chu Ci threw two winks, and said in a sweet voice: "People just want to know how long you can endure it, so you will be angry and ignore you." After Chu Ci finished speaking, he also sank his face and stood there without saying a word.
"Okay, okay, it's my mistake!" Mo Cong stood up and raised his hands in surrender.
"It's pretty much the same!" Chu Ci glanced at him and said with a sly smile: "I'll tell you if you carry me." β
"Senior sister, you're too much!"
It's just that before Mo Cong finished speaking, Chu Ci had already jumped on his back.
In order to hide the joy after taking the opportunity to successfully jam the oil, Chu Ci leaned on Mo Cong's back and said: "She said, only by hunting ten snow monsters that have been cultivating for ten years and absorbing their spiritual power, can our spiritual eyes be stabilized, otherwise, they will disappear soon." β
"And that's what to say!" Mo Cong suddenly stopped and said in surprise, "Then did she tell you how to search for snow monsters?"
"Tell me, you don't have to ask about this first, I'll tell you when I get there, I'll tell you how to absorb the spiritual power of the snow monster first. β
"How do you absorb it?" asked Mo Cong as he walked forward.
"It's very simple, she said that our weapons are inlaid with super spirit stones, as long as we insert the weapon into the body of the snow monster like that ice tiger, the spirit stone will automatically absorb the power of the snow monster, and then we can absorb those powers from the spirit stone, without the transformation of the spirit stone, we can't digest that power. Chu Ci thought for a while and said, "She also said that the spirit stones on our weapons can store a lot of spiritual power, and they can't run away at all." β
"I understand this, the spirit stone itself is formed by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and it must be able to store a lot of energy. β
The two talked all the way, and before they knew it, they were approaching the strange forest. With the experience and lessons learned from the last time, the two did not dare to be reckless and searched around the edge of the forest.
Even though it is on the edge of the jungle, the trees are very dense, and it is cold and bitter during the walk, and the silence is deep, which is a little scary.
"Brother Mo Cong!" Chu Ci held the Moon Shadow Spear in his hand, his slender eyes looked left and right, and said, "You can open the Spirit Eye now." β
"Hmm!" Mo Cong raised a trace of spiritual power to his eyes, the spiritual eyes opened, and the surrounding situation changed abruptly, and wonders appeared on those big trees that seemed to be indistinguishable to the naked eye. There are a few strange beasts crouching on the big tree that can't be seen with the naked eye, they are all strange beasts with spiritual power, but they are not snow monsters, judging from the green aura surrounding their bodies, they will not take the initiative to attack, and they are also very weak. Mo Cong made a round, and there were only a few low-level spiritual power beasts around. However, he didn't know how to judge the snow monster, but he noticed a faint white aura on the trunk of a towering ancient cypress wrapped in ice.
"Brother Mo Cong, be careful, the red ones are the alien beasts that take the initiative to attack, and the green and blue ones will take the initiative to attack. β
"Understood!" Mo Cong nodded in response, but still silently muttered in his heart: "Red takes the initiative to attack, green and blue do not attack." β
"Brother Mo Cong!" Chu Ci also looked at the big tree, held his breath, stuck to Mo Cong's body, stretched out his hand and pointed at the big tree, and said carefully: "Have you seen that big tree? There is a snow monster in there, judging from the spiritual power emanating from the tree, it should not be more than fifty years." β
"So accurate!" Mo Cong exclaimed.
"This is all what my predecessors told me, the farther the aura is released, the higher the level of the beast, judging from the thickness and height of that tree, it should not exceed five steps, which means that the guy in the tree hole will only be more than ten years at most. Let's go over and have a look!"
Chu Ci waved his small hand, and Mo Cong was stunned and followed closely behind. It was really uncomfortable to be led by the nose under the command of someone like this, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the seniors in the tower didn't teach him the skills of hunting snow monsters.
The two of them strode to the bottom of the big tree, and Chu Ci tapped the trunk with his hand, and shouted confidently: "Come out!"
"That's fine!" Mo Cong rolled his eyes, secretly summing up in his heart.
Suddenly, the ice skin on the trunk of the tree cracked, and a large, round, snow-white head emerged from the crack. This time, Mo Congke saw a big face of the snow monster, with two big round eyes that were red, a small black nose under the eyes, and although the mouth was not big, it clearly showed fangs.
The snow monster was looking down in a daze, Chu Ci couldn't say anything, raised his gun and stabbed, and shouted in his mouth: "Look where you are running!"
"You can catch a snow monster with just one stab?" Mo Cong couldn't believe it.
As expected, Chu Ci stabbed him in the air with a shot and smiled at Mo Cong awkwardly. Chu Ci originally wanted to show off in front of Mo Cong, but he didn't expect that guy to be so cunning, and said depressedly: "Brother Mo Cong, it ran away!"
"See!" Mo Cong was energetic at this time, and laughed mockingly: "I'll just say, the snow monster is not so easy to catch, look at me this time." β
Mo Cong shook his hands, shook his wrists, his fingers rattled, and twisted his neck back and forth, left and right. Chu Ci looked up and watched him perform in a languid manner.
"Two guys who don't know how to measure their strength, we have a hundred years of practice, and if they want to catch us, there is no door. Mo Cong had just finished some preparations, but he heard the sound of the snow monster ringing around.
"It turns out that the hundred-year-old snow monster is also so oily and slippery. Mo Cong said to himself, staring at Chu Ci with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Senior sister, did you hear, it said that it has a hundred years of cultivation." β
"I heard it!" Chu Ci suddenly realized: "That means it's enough for us to catch one." β
"That's right, junior sister, then what are we hesitating about?" As he spoke, Mo Cong pulled out the sword behind him, the sword was cold, and the five-colored qi flew up and down around the sword.
Chu Ci knew that Mo Cong's words were just a bluff, and said in a low voice: "Brother Mo Cong, that guy's cave has many exits. β
"Don't worry, I have my own way!"
"Why don't we split this big tree, destroy its nest, and I'll see where it goes." β
As soon as Chu Ci's words fell, he heard the snow monster laugh and said, "Oh, I'm so scared! I'm trembling all over my body now, but don't destroy my home!" He said and sneered: "Hehe! Two fools and idiots and rice buckets are stupid, we can build a nest with a cup of tea, and you just cut down all the trees in this forest, and you don't want to catch us." β
"Bragging, Brother Mo Cong, don't listen to it, I heard from my predecessors that the snow monster can only use mental power to control people, and it doesn't have much ability! Look at me!" As he spoke, Chu Ci raised the Moon Shadow Spear in his hand, raised a spiritual power, and raised the gun to split the big tree.
"Senior sister, wait!" Mo Cong gave Chu Ci a look, and smiled slyly: "This guy is too cunning, senior sister, let's go catch something else!"
After speaking, the two deliberately strode into the distance, and the footsteps became farther and farther away. After walking less than a hundred steps, the two of them flew back again.
