Chapter 52: The Land of Peach Springs
Everywhere in the wilderness was peach trees, and the ravines were meandering. A few people walked in the wilderness and felt refreshed, and they couldn't help but feel a little lonely after walking for a long time. They had been walking for half a month, and all they saw were peach trees, and those peach trees were completely indistinguishable, and it was even a little difficult to distinguish the directions.
"Senior Brother Yang, is this also a rune array, how can you walk around and find the center of the peach forest?" Sikong Yue said with some annoyance, this place has made her almost crazy, if she can't find an exit again, she will really collapse. Yang Chen touched his head and felt a little headache, this was already the one hundred and thirty-second time that Sikong Yue had asked him. He had already tried his best to investigate here, and indeed found no trace of the rune array.
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "Senior sister, let's take it easy, this is not a way" Yang Chen replied that it was not what he asked, and the meaning was obvious, and the answer was the same as before. Sikong Yue said: "Since there is no talisman array, why can't we go out?" Yang Chen said: "I also think it's weird, but I can't say it clearly." β
Liu Shi also sighed and said, "I can't find a way out after walking for so long, it's better to cultivate here with peace of mind!" Liu Shi remembered that his advance was imminent, and he wanted to make time for cultivation.
"Cultivation?" When Yang Chen heard this, he suddenly thought that he had thought about finding this source of the cold water source for cultivation, and he suddenly thought of a way to find the center of the source of the Taoyuan. Yang Chen's eyes looked at the water flowing in the ravine, and a look of hope poured out. According to common sense, it is certain that they can find a water source by going upriver in the direction of the water, and they have tried, and to their surprise, the ravines here crisscross the water, and the flow direction is like a maze. After searching for a few days, it seemed to be going around in circles, so I had to give up.
He knew that the Ice Wind Beast had a special sense of the coldest water source, and it would be much faster if he could let it lead him to find it, but unfortunately he didn't know how to communicate with it, and he looked at the Ice Wind Beast with regret and had a lot of helplessness. The closer you get to the cold water source, the more cold the cold air in these flowing waters, the more you can absorb the cold qi in the sea of qi, and only if you keep trying to absorb the cold qi to determine the intensity of the cold qi to determine the direction of the cold water source, this thing can only be done by yourself.
"I've figured it out, but it may take some time. Yang Chen said. Sikong Yue and the three of them all showed joy, as long as they could find the center of Taoyuan, these days of busyness would not be wasted. Sikong Yue said: "What method?" Yang Chen said the method, several people were a little confused, this method of using cultivation to sense the cold qi may only be thought of by Yang Chen, but this method is inevitably a little too slow.
Liu Shi was very much in favor and said happily: "Not bad, not bad." I think this method works. Liu Shi wished that in this way, he could free up time for cultivation again. Zhao Man hurriedly said: "What is feasible? If Senior Brother Yang uses one or two days for each cultivation, then when will he get it? Besides, this is not sure that he will be able to find the Taoyuan Center?"
Sikong Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Just do it." It's better to have a way than not to have it. Zhao Manunu's mouth stopped talking. Liu Shi clapped his hands in welcome and said with a smile: "It's still Senior Sister Sikong's thoughtfulness." Sikong Yue said: "Senior Brother Liu, this time it's your turn to be on duty, you have to be careful." He smiled. Zhao Man snorted and laughed, Liu Shi felt very bored, he forgot that it was his turn to be on duty this time, and he couldn't advance several times, but this time he was no longer embarrassed to let others come to guard for him again. smiled and said, "Don't worry." β
Yang Chen chose a nearby ravine and sat directly in the water, and a cold current immediately poured into his body. Yang Chen was not frightened, but opened the air pockets in his whole body, and used his vitality to absorb the cold qi in the water. The cold qi traveled in the meridians, and the meridians sent out a stinging pain, the invasion of this cold current caused the meridians to be greatly stimulated and damaged, Yang Chen gritted his teeth and insisted, only by sensing the cold here could he judge the direction of walking.
The Ice Yuan Qi Dragon flipped and swam in the sea of qi, opening its huge mouth and absorbing it continuously, and the cold qi in the meridians flowed into the sea of qi and was swallowed away by the Ice Yuan Dragon, and the water on the Ice Yuan Dragon was even fuller, like the ice crystals. And as the Ice Yuan Dragon absorbed and swallowed until the cold qi stayed in the meridians for a much shorter time, the damage to the meridians was no longer so drastic. It's just that with the growth of the Ice Yuan Dragon, the power of absorption is also stronger, and the cold qi is like a surging stream of water that enters the body, and the meridians are inevitably damaged by the cold qi. Fortunately, the cyan thunder dragon was also wandering through the meridians at this time, constantly warming and repairing the meridians, and in the process of repairing the damage, it can be found that the meridians are also changing, becoming more tough and strong.
Yang Chen's heart entered an ethereal state without distractions, and the stinging pain in the meridians gradually became slighter. By the time I arrived, I didn't feel it anymore. The Ice Yuan Dragon became stronger and more solid, and some white dragon scales appeared on its body, flickering with cold light. At this time, the coldest qi entering the sea of qi could no longer satisfy the devouring power of the Ice Yuan Dragon, and it would take a while for the Ice Yuan Dragon to absorb all the coldest qi in the sea of qi in one gulp.
Yang Chen felt the change in the sea of qi, and slowly collected **, he had already sensed the intensity of the cold qi here, all he needed was to choose two more points in this ravine to judge the intensity of the cold qi, so that he could judge the direction of travel.
Yang Chen chose two more points to induce the cold qi, and finally decided to follow the ravine to the west. This was repeated repeatedly, and as soon as the direction was unclear, Yang Chen began to cultivate the intense Cheng DΓΉ that sensed the cold qi, although this method was clumsy, but it finally got rid of the repeated interference of the ravine's water flow. And his Ice Yuan Dragon is also constantly changing.
A month later, a few people felt the temperature in the wilderness plummet, and the peach blossoms were also frosty. "It's really weird that peach blossoms can bloom in such a cold environment. Sikong Yue was a little surprised. Zhao Man looked at these peach trees covered with ice crystal frost flowers, like a world of ice and snow, and exclaimed, "Have we arrived at the ice field?"
Yang Chen was secretly happy in his heart, which meant that the four of them seemed to be not far from the source of the cold water.
"Over there. At this time, several figures turned out of the peach forest, and there were five people in total. "Xing Zhou!" Sikong Yue saw the faces of the five people clearly. These five people are Xing Zhou's gang. Yang Chen was strange that when he came out, it was obviously six people, but now it has become five people. The five people of Xingzhou also saw Yang Chen and them, and their eyes were a little surprised and unkind. Those who can get here have the same purpose, and even people in the same sect will have a fight, and they will be a threat to themselves in the future.
Xing Zhou saw that Sikong Yue was actually with Yang Chen, and said in surprise: "Sikong Yue, how can you be here?" Si Kong Yue smiled: "You can come here, can't I come?" Suddenly the yellow-faced tall disciple whispered a few words to Xing Zhou, Xing Zhou's face became even more ugly, and he said with a cold face: "I'm just curious how you have a map here?"
Sikong Yue said: "What you can get, I can naturally get it." Xing Zhou obviously didn't expect Sikong Yue to answer like this, and he didn't know how to answer. Sikong Yue has a special identity in the sect like himself, and it is obvious that the resources he can get Sikong Yue also has the ability to get. Originally, he suspected that Yang Chen or Liu Shi had stolen his copy of the map, but now Sikong Yue's answer blocked his mouth.
Xing Zhou said: "I didn't expect Miss Sikong to also like adventure, I thought you only like embroidery?" Zhao Man said angrily: "Xing Zhou, don't deceive people too much!" Xing Zhou laughed and said: "Where did I come from, it turned out to be Miss Sikong's maid." Several disciples beside Xing Zhou couldn't help laughing, looking very sadistic. Zhao Man hurriedly said: "You ......" At this time, Zhao Man was stopped by Sikong Yue and said: "We still have important things to do, how can we have time to talk to them?" Xing Zhou, you and I have nothing to do with each other, so please do it!" Sikong Yue raised his left hand slightly to signal them to leave.
Xing Zhou said indignantly: "Let's see." Hmph, let's go. As he spoke, he led a few people towards the cold land. Yang Chen said: "Let's go too, so as not to be preempted by them." Sikong Yue said: "You must not be reckless, if there is something wrong, you will withdraw me first." Yang Chen's heart moved slightly, he didn't expect Sikong Yue to have such heroic feelings.
Yang Chen said, "Let's go." "Take the lead, Sikong Yue and the others are not far behind, obviously Xing Zhou's appearance means that the peach source they have been looking for for a long time is close at hand, no matter what kind of danger there is, they want to take a look, and it is best to get some treasures.
After an hour, the peach trees gradually thinned, and a water spring the size of a hundred zhang appeared, and the water spring divided into several ravines and extended in all directions, which was obviously the source of the water flow of those ravines in the peach forest. And in the water spring there is a crystal peach tree, emitting a misty glow, the peach tree is only one zhang high, much smaller than ordinary peach trees. The peach tree bears three verdant peaches, like jasper.
Xing Zhou and a few people were already on the edge of the water spring, their eyes were eager, and they were eager to go deep into the water spring to pick peaches. It's just that in the water spring, there is a figure blocking their way, and several people are frightened. It was an ice python, huge and ten feet long, as thick as a bucket. The ice python opened its bloody mouth, Sensen's teeth flashed with cold light, and a pair of triangular eyes were like red gems carved on ice.
"Hiss"
The ice python hissed, spitting ice mist from its mouth.
"Plopping" the Ice Wind Beast was not afraid of the ice python's storage, and jumped directly into the water spring. The ice python turned its head and stood up suddenly, its cold eyes were like autumn frost in winter, and it opened its bloody mouth to swallow it. But when it saw the Ice Wind Beast, it couldn't help but be frightened, and its body cowered and retreated, but it was getting closer and closer to the five people of Xingzhou. The five men were frightened and fled into the distance.
Xing Zhou glanced at Yang Chen and the others with a gloomy look, but he didn't expect that the little beast that followed Yang Chen would actually affect the overall situation.
Yang Chen looked towards the water spring at this time, and there was a spring under the crystal peach tree, bubbling out of the water. Through the water layer, you can see that the spring is blooming on a white piece of jade.
