Chapter 248: Arctic Ice Sheet
On Ye Xing's route, patches of grasslands withered, and even the aura in the air and underground was weakened to an almost imperceptible level, and it may take decades to recover, so to speak, it was really terrible for him to directly destroy a large area of grassland.
Along the way, Ye Xing carried out spirit control experiments on a variety of grassland animals, and none of the animals such as saber-toothed tigers, crypt lions, grassland bears, wild horses, wild sheep, bison, mountain quails, grassland chickens, and horned deer on the ground reached or approached the innate realm, and the spirit control technique was ineffective at all.
Ye Xing also captured the birds, eagles, and lion eagles flying in the sky to perform the spirit control technique, and he did not find a single one that had opened his spiritual intelligence, which shows that the innate spirit beasts are really very few.
In the vast prairie, there is no animal that has opened up a little intelligence, it is impossible, it can only be said that there are very few, there should be, but they have long been scared away.
In fact, it was also to blame Ye Xing's crazy cultivation, which directly scared away the sensitive innate spirit beast.
The aura in a radius of hundreds of miles disappeared, such an obvious danger signal, of course, the innate birds and beasts with spiritual intelligence fled early.
Only when he was resting in the Wild Fox Ridge, a continuous mountain range close to the Mobei Ice Plain, Ye Xing subdued a very small white fox again.
But it wasn't a fight, it was the white fox who came over to recognize the lord and became Ye Xing's second companion beast.
The combat power of the innate fifth-layer old fox is not good at all, but his intelligence is extremely high, and he just looked at Ye Xing and lay on the ground, determined to follow Ye Xing's side to practice.
Ye Xing was also very surprised that the white fox could cultivate to the innate fifth layer, thinking that the white fox's bloodline was very unusual.
When he arrived at the cave where the white fox lived, Ye Xing understood that the aura here was excellent, and there was a small earth spirit vein at the bottom of the cave.
The white fox has been living in this cave for a long, long time, eating the elixir in the mountains every day, drinking spiritual water, breathing aura, and learning to refine qi simply.
Of course, Ye Xing didn't want the white fox to accompany him, but he decided to give the white fox some help as well, just like the old wolf, he couldn't favor one over the other.
It took five hours and half a day of super intelligence operation, Ye Xing deduced a set of cultivation exercises suitable for the fox clan, transmitted it into the brain of the white fox with his divine sense, and collected elixirs in the mountains, refined more than a dozen Zhuji Dan for it, and handed it to the white fox in a jade bottle.
The white fox is already quite old, if he can advance to the spirit beast, it will be like being reborn once, and his lifespan will be more than 300 years, but Ye Xing didn't want to have a spirit beast by his side, and told him to go to Xuanyue Sect to find himself after becoming the beast king.
Ye Xing once again refined an identity jade plate, dripped it with his own essence blood, and hung it on the neck of the white fox, letting others know that this was a spirit beast with a master, and the essence blood could also make Ye Xing sense a very weak qi.
If the white fox advances to the beast king, within a thousand miles, Ye Xing can know its approximate location, of course, it can only be effective within a hundred miles now, and Ye Xing himself has to concentrate his divine sense to search for the qi information he has left.
The method of planting his own exclusive divine consciousness mark is not the exclusive spirit control technique of the Taixu Sect, in fact, many high-level cultivators have similar spells, but the spirit control technique is willing by the other party, and Ye Xing does not treat spirit beasts as slaves, but just his friends.
And the old wolf and the white fox can also be regarded as elites, and they understand Ye Xing's thoughts very well, so they are naturally willing to accept it, and Ye Xing also gives the elixir and cultivation exercises, which are unique.
After Ye Xing said goodbye to the white fox, he left the Wild Fox Ridge and continued northward into the legendary terrible Arctic ice field in the moonlight.
When he was in the Tang Tianjing City, Ye Xing read many classics collected by the Li family, all of which were accumulated by the Li family of the Xiuzhen family for ten thousand years, and he also had some understanding of the Arctic ice field, although it was desolate, it was not a dead place.
It is difficult for ordinary people to survive in Mobei, and it is impossible to enter the Arctic ice field, if it is a high-level monk, who brings enough supplies, it is also possible to go to this extremely harsh environment, but it is also extremely difficult.
It is said that there are no human beings living in the ice field, but there are still abundant products, only a small variety of snowy plants, sparsely scattered ice fields in various parts of the bare soil, and dozens of extremely cold-tolerant animals live here.
The danger of the ice field is mainly because of the cold, very cold and cold, not what ordinary people can imagine, it is much colder than Mobei, the endless white ice and snow are eternal, there are no green plants at all, only some mosses and the like are scattered in the cracked earth that grows in the ice field.
There are still some trees in Yehuling, but it is already extremely cold, Ye Xing took out the thermometer and measured it, during the day at that time, it was more than thirty degrees below zero, and his cultivation was profound, and the internal force flowing and running in the body would produce heat, but he felt a little cold, and he didn't care.
After leaving Yehuling, just one day, he may not have walked two or three hundred miles to the north, he couldn't stand it, not only did the dripping water turn into ice, but he also felt unbearable even on the ninth floor of the foundation, he measured it again, minus 98 degrees, which was already lower than the limit of ordinary life survival.
Putting on a heavy white down jacket, Ye Xing completely wrapped himself in it, he didn't even have to look out with his eyes, and he relied on his divine sense to explore the range of three miles ahead, and his true qi was contained in the internal organs and head to protect the key parts, but the internal force continued to circulate rapidly in the body, making the body hot.
It's just that Ye Xing is also careful, the consumption of internal force, if it can't be replenished immediately, it is likely to be in danger immediately, the Arctic ice field is extremely vast, anyway, no one knows its true range.
Ye Xing is not cold now, but he really doesn't dare to let his internal strength be consumed too much, the extreme cold here can easily make a high-level monk lose temperature and fall into death, it's not a joke.
The cold is only a point, the key is that the Arctic ice field has no sun, the air is relatively thin, and the white and dazzling reflection is permanent, there is no difference between night and day, but there are gorgeous and colorful aurora flashes in the sky from time to time.
Ye Xing turned himself to breathe entirely on his skin, so that his nose and mouth did not have to be exposed to the extremely cold outside world, but he also had to unzip the down jacket from time to time to ventilate, just for such a short period of time, the cold air could make Ye Xing tremble.
On the third day of stepping into the Arctic ice field, Ye Xing had already regretted it, except for the white ice and snow, in fact, he didn't see anything, those legendary ice creatures were not at all, and the spirit fire mentioned in the ancient books never knew any traces.
When Ye Xing was in the Tang Tianjing City, he saw an ancient book, which was the ancient book of "The Book of Heaven and Earth Desolation" mentioned by Qin Jingxuan, which mentioned that there was a strange fire in the Arctic ice field, which was alive and could survive in the body of a cultivator, becoming a partner, and could be used to assist in refining medicine and refining weapons, which was actually similar to the meaning of companion beasts.
The "Taixu Imperial Spirit Sutra" also mentions that there are many special life forms in nature, which are the so-called spirit bodies, that is, the life forms that exist in the aura style, and the Imperial Spirit Sutra specifically mentions the possible methods of the imperial envoys, but it is all speculation, and none of the predecessors of the Taixu Sect has such a spirit body.
In fact, spirits may exist, but ancient books also say that heaven and earth are born naturally and without a trace, but in the records of ancient times, there are such life forms.
In the myths and legends known to Ye Xing in his previous life, Sun Wukong was born with a spirit body, born from heaven and earth, and there are similar legends in this world, in his opinion, it should be true, otherwise there will not be two completely different universes and spaces with similar legends, which itself shows that this may be true.
The reason why he wanted to come to the Arctic Ice Plain was to come and touch the Great Luck, whether he could find some Arctic elixirs, and the special medicinal materials needed to break through the Jindan Realm, Ye Xing R couldn't find them all over Mobei, so he could only go to the uninhabited Arctic Ice Fields to have a look.
As for the strange undead creatures mentioned in the "Imperial Spirit Sutra" on the Arctic ice field, as well as the spirit fire in the myths and legends of the "Heaven and Earth Desolation Sutra", Ye Xing had no idea, it was not necessarily fake, but he didn't think that he would encounter it, in short, no matter how bad it was, he should take a look at the scenery here.
With the idea of traveling, he only traveled less than two hundred miles in three days, and he walked aimlessly, but Ye Xing really regretted it, if the two eagles followed, they could at least observe the ice field from high in the sky, or they could find something.
But considering such an extreme cold, it is estimated that the two eagles in the Beast King Realm will definitely not be able to stand it, seeing that there are no birds in the sky, it is estimated that the Arctic ice field is also a forbidden area for birds and beasts.
Come to think of it, it was more than minus 90 degrees, and if the cultivation was a little worse, he immediately froze to death.
