Chapter 216: Icicles
Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang entered the ice cave, the powerful cold current soaked through the clothes, not only the skin was frozen blue, but the bones were full of coldness, as if they had entered a city where the ice cave was condensed.
Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang both shivered in unison, the smooth ice surface and the biting cold current made Yan Nantian and the two of them a little uncomfortable, and the light became very dim.
Liu Qiang took out a fire spirit stone, the light around him brightened a little, turned his head to look at Yan Nantian on the side, and said, "Damn, it's too cold here, you must use spiritual power to maintain your body temperature, otherwise, it won't take long to freeze to death." ā
"Yes, let's hurry up and take the Fire Lotus Jade Soup, this soup can emit fire spiritual power, and there is no need to consume the spiritual power in the body itself. Yan Nantian said.
"Hmm. ā
Liu Qiang responded, took out the porcelain bottle given by Yan Nantian in advance, drank the soup in the bottle in one gulp, and immediately felt a warm current surging through his body.
"It's amazing, it's like there's a fire in my chest, and the cold currents in my body are dispelled all at once. Liu Qiang exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the whole person felt comfortable.
"Hoo ......"
Yan Nantian also exhaled, and the spiritual power contained in the Fire Lotus Jade Soup poured into all the meridians of the body, and the whole person warmed up, and there was no need to consume the energy in the body to maintain body temperature.
......At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, which startled Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang.
"Master Liu, maybe the Yue family is chasing after you, let's leave here quickly and walk towards the depths of the ice cave. Yan Nantian reminded.
"Hmph, I knew that this group of guys was haunted. It's better to just kill them. Liu Qiang snorted coldly.
"There is no regret medicine in this world, and it's not too late to kill now. Yan Nantian said.
"The leading Yue family, the cultivation is above us, even if the two of us join forces, they may not be their opponents. Liu Qiang shook his head and said.
"If we are outside the ice cave, we are indeed no match for him, but inside the ice cave, the victory or defeat is not yet known. Yan Nantian shook his head slightly.
"What, do you have a way to deal with the Yue family?" asked Liu Qiang.
"The temperature in this ice cave is very low, and it takes a lot of spiritual power to resist the cold snap. All we have to do is lead them into the depths of the ice cave. can consume a large amount of their spiritual power, and then they will naturally have a chance to fight back. Yan Nantian said.
"There is some truth in what you say, but there is also a certain amount of risk involved. Liu Qiang said.
"In this world, there is no time when things are going well. Yan Nantian said.
"Okay. Just do as you say. Liu Qiang responded. The two men quickened their pace again. Rush to the depths of the ice cave.
"Master Liu, did you and Senior Zhou agree on any code before entering the cave?" Yan Nantian asked.
"Hmm. Before my lord and I entered the ice cave, we also considered this situation, and we did agree on some secret codes, and I will tell you these codes, and it will be easier for the two of us to find them. Liu Qiang nodded, told Yan Nantian the code, and the two of them walked towards the depths of the ice cave together, also paying attention to the traces on the cave wall to see if they could find the code left by Zhou Xuebin.
......
After Yue Zhouyun and the three of them entered the ice cave, they faced the same situation as Yan Nantian, the biting cold current wrapped around the three of them, and every minute and every second consumed huge spiritual power.
"Second master, this place is too cold, I'm afraid I won't last long. Yue Xiaozhou shuddered, with a worried look on his face.
Yue Xiaozhou is only a late-stage first-order cultivator, and he has not yet stepped into the realm of second-order cultivation, after he entered the ice cave, in order to maintain his body temperature, the spiritual power in his body was rapidly consumed.
"Hmph, you're a bitch, it's just a cold snap, and you won't die. Yue Zhouyun shouted.
"Second master, your cultivation is profound, naturally I feel that there is nothing, but I can't stand it, the spiritual power of the whole body is used to maintain body temperature, if you meet the two people just now, you don't even have the spiritual power to fight, you can only be used as a target to be attacked by the other party. Yue Xiaozhou said with a hint of pleading.
Yue Xiaozhou's words were not pretending to be pitiful, but telling his true situation, his cultivation itself was the lowest among the people, only enough to maintain his body temperature, and he couldn't mobilize excess spiritual power to fight at all, just like an ordinary person in the ice cave.
If Yue Xiaozhou had to mobilize his spiritual power to fight, he would not have enough spiritual power to maintain his body temperature, and once he was invaded by the cold current, he would be frostbitten or even frozen to death.
Yue Zhouyun's face became ugly, but he also knew that Yue Xiaozhou was talking about things, so he turned his head to look at the other entourage, the other party was a cultivator in the early stage of the second order, and the situation was better than Yue Xiaozhou.
"You nonsense, get out of here, stay at the mouth of the ice cave, if they escape, you will try your best to stop me. Yue Zhouyun scolded.
"Yes, little one. Yue Xiaozhou turned around and walked towards the outside of the ice cave as if he had been pardoned, like a chicken pecking rice.
After seeing Yue Xiaozhou leave, the corners of Yue Zhouyun's mouth hooked up with a touch of disdain, and said: "Waste, there is more than enough success and more failure." ā
Yue Zhouyun looked at the other attendant and said, "How can you do it? If you can't hold on, you can also leave with him." ā
"Swear to follow the second master. Another attendant bowed and saluted.
"Good. Yue Zhouyun patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "As long as I can catch those two people, I will definitely not treat you badly." ā
"Thank you, Second Master. The attendant answered.
"Let's go, as long as we can catch those two people, we can get out of here as soon as possible. Yue Zhouyun left a word, and then chased towards the depths of the ice cave.
......
"Look, there are two forks in the front. Liu Qiang stopped, pointed ahead and said.
"Yes, there are indeed two entrances, and both caves are so deep that I don't know where they lead. Yan Nantian nodded in response.
"Then what should we do? Do you want to look for it separately?" asked Liu Qiang.
"Don't worry, let's search around, maybe Senior Zhou will leave some code to tell us which cave he is taking. Yan Nantian said.
"Okay, then let's look for it, the people of the province will be caught up by the people of the Yue family. Liu Qiang nodded and began to look at the surrounding ice wall.
After a while, Yan Nantian's eyes lit up, pointed to the wall of the cave, and said, "Master Liu, look at the wall over there, there seems to be some imprint, it seems to have been left by Senior Zhou." ā
"Yes, it was indeed left by the master, this code refers to the cave on the right, and it is estimated that the master should take this road. Liu Qiang said with a look of joy.
"Then let's catch up. Yan Nantian heard footsteps behind him and urged again.
Subsequently, the two entered the ice cave on the right and continued to look for Zhou Xuebin's whereabouts, the tunnel of this ice cave is very long, and the two of them have been walking a long way, but they have not been able to find the exit.
During this period, the two of them drank the fire lotus jade soup again to replenish the fire spiritual power in their bodies, if it weren't for this kind of soup as an auxiliary, the two of them might not have been able to go so far.
Along the way, the two of them did not find Zhou Xuebin's code again, and the cold current in the cave became colder and colder, even with the fire spiritual power of the Fire Lotus Jade Soup, the two of them could still feel the coldness of the cold current.
After another stick of incense, both of them were a little tired, and the cold snap had affected their movements, and they were a little sluggish when they walked.
Suddenly, the road in front of them became brighter, the light suddenly brightened, and an empty field appeared in front of them, Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang showed surprised looks.
At this time, there was a huge clearing in front of the two of them, which was covered with a layer of ice cubes, and some icicles that shone white, but they were different from ordinary ice.
"Is this an ice-attribute spirit stone, why is it so bright?" Liu Qiang said with some surprise.
"I didn't feel any fluctuations in spiritual power. Yan Nantian shook his head and said.
"Since it's not an ice attribute spiritual sense, why does it glow?" asked Liu Qiang.
"I think this may be the 10,000-year-old Xuanbing. Yan Nantian guessed.
"Ten Thousand Years Xuanbing!" Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some curiosity: "How did you kid know, haven't you seen it before?"
The reason why Yan Nantian recognized it was nothing more than being reminded by Zhang Jiuling, but it was not easy to tell Liu Qiang about this matter, so he deliberately changed the topic and said:
"Master Liu, I'm also guessing, let's hurry up and find Senior Zhou. ā
"Well, you're right. Liu Qiang nodded slightly, glanced around again, and said, "It's so big here, and there are a few more branch caves, how can we find it?"
"In my opinion, I can only find a code. Yan Nan Tian Ti yƬ said.
Liu Qiang nodded, and didn't say anything more, after entering the ice cave, Liu Qiang's feeling became worse and worse, if Zhou Xuebin was really trapped here, so much time had passed, he didn't know if Zhou Xuebin would survive.
This open field is large, with many icicles hanging down from the top, many icicles on the ground, and the surrounding caves of different depths, making the environment even more complicated.
The two of them walked very slowly along the way, searching for the mark left by Zhou Xuebin, but looking for Liu Qiang suddenly stopped, staring straight ahead.
"Master Liu, what's wrong?" Seeing that Liu Qiang's face changed instantly, and his eyes stared straight ahead, Yan Nantian wondered.
"Look what that's that!" Liu Qiang's voice trembled a little.
Yan Nantian thought that the other party had found the code, and looked in the direction that Liu Qiang was pointing to, but after seeing what Liu Qiang was pointing to, his face also showed a shocked look.
"Ah, how can this be, Senior Zhou......" Yan Nantian's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him, with a deep sadness on his face.
I saw that there was an icicle more than one person tall in front of him, and the object frozen in the icicle was Zhou Xuebin, who Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang were looking for, with a lifelike face like a living person, as if he had been frozen by the way.
"Whoop......"
Just when the two of them were shocked, a gust of cold wind struck from behind them, although both of them had spiritual power to protect themselves, but they still couldn't resist this cold current, it was like being cut by a knife.
