Chapter 277: Treasure and Crisis

Zhou Qi was indeed familiar with the snow mountain—and perhaps knew enough about the Akame Snow Bear, so he soon discovered the cave hidden under the snow, and Ling Qingyun was taken aback by a warm current after entering it.

"This animal is lazy and likes to sleep when he has finished hunting, so he arranges his nest to be exceptionally warm, even if I destroy two nests in a row. Zhou Qi introduced, and pointed to a dark stone at the edge of the cave, he told Ling Qingyun that there are also some peaks in the Great Snow Mountain that were once volcanoes, although they have long been dead, but there are such flints that emit heat, and the red eye snow bear will bring flint stones to keep warm every nest they open.

"It's cheaper for us now, it's a very livable place, and you can spend the night after dealing with the snow bears. Zhou Qi said and led Ling Qingyun to continue walking inward, the cave that can accommodate the Akame Snow Bear is extremely wide but inevitably dark, and only his own footsteps can be heard when he walks in it, which makes people can't help but have ambivalent feelings of expectation and worry in the depths of the cave.

In front of a beast bone, the two stopped slightly.

"It's ...... Mammoth?" Ling Qingyun was taken aback by looking at the huge white skeleton, especially a pair of iconic tusks, the mammoth with thick hair was very hardy, but it also did not have the ability to live in the Great Snow Mountain, and he had never heard of a mammoth haunting the Great Snow Mountain.

"It should have hunted from the southwestern mountains, and this guy would occasionally go out to fight tooth sacrifices. Zhou Qi was very calm, and the two continued to move forward for a while, but they saw a snake bone that was nearly ten zhang long, which was also amazing, after all, the low temperature of the Great Snow Mountain was not suitable for snakes.

Subsequently, various skeletons appeared along the road, most of them were broken, but a few intact ones were not the Great Snow Mountain species, Ling Qingyun understood that these skeletons were the glory wall of the snow bear, showing off that he was not only the king and hegemon in the Great Snow Mountain, but also could go as far as the southwest mountains to hunt, and catch prey that other Great Snow Mountain creatures had never seen, although no one could see this glory - most of the people who saw it became a part of these skeletons.

There is a skeleton that is pitifully small in the complete skeleton, but neither of them is stationed, and their faces are solemn, because this is a human bone, and the snow bear's nest is scattered with many bones, and the gender can be identified from male and female, as well as rickets and old men, and there is even a frozen young man's head placed in the center of the skeleton, which is obviously valued by the snow bear.

"Licheng junior. Zhou Qi half-knelt on the ground, and the hand holding the man's head trembled slightly: "Sure enough, it was the hand of this animal!"

Ling Qingyun watched this scene silently, he understood why Zhou Qi had to get rid of the Akame Snow Bear, there were several complete human bones in the cave alone, and this was a new cave opened up after the Snow Bear's old lair was destroyed! You can imagine how many people this demon beast ate, no less than three digits, including the adventurers who went deep into the Snow Mountain, and also the students of the West Mountain who entered the mountain to practice.

"Gaffe. After a long time, Zhou Qi got up and put the head of the junior brother into the box to collect the burial, Ling Qingyun shook his head: "Why did Brother Zhou get rid of this demon beast, I understand it below." ”

"It's not as noble as you think. Zhou Qi also shook his head: "It's just that it wants to kill me, I'm looking for revenge, that's all, it has nothing to do with me to eliminate harm for the people, it's a pity that Licheng's junior brother is also talented, but he died in the hands of this beast." ”

Ling Qingyun was silent, he could imagine that this "Li Cheng" had a heroic posture, and it was a fierce battle with the snow bear, otherwise the snow bear would not have to deliberately leave his head as a trophy here, just thinking that the Tianjiao and warriors of the same clan were devoured and cut off their heads as trophies, he felt a kind of anger and sorrow.

"Devouring human nature, can be called a demon, but why don't we monks step on thousands of white bones to reach the top?" Looking at the white bones everywhere, Ling Qingyun silently thought, in the face of the desire to become stronger and evolve, life is too small, even human beings who claim to be the primates of all things will become the prey of other lives, stepping stones.

Why do legendary monsters like to eat people? Is it possible that human flesh is a hundred times better than the meat of wild beasts? In fact, what monsters really want to eat is not human flesh, but human soul and wisdom.

Although the red eye snow bear is not a demon, it is obviously a cannibal for this, there is a wise and cunning side in the previous battle, and I don't know how many lives have been killed over the years, this is the horror of high-level demon beasts, and the tyrants in them are even no different from demons, which makes people inevitably associate the word demon.

Of course, there are also good kinds of demon beasts and spirit beasts, such as the legendary Bai Ze, Qilin and other Rui beasts, as well as the white deer that Ling Qingyun once encountered on Mingyue Island, as well as the totem beasts worshiped by the tribe, and the taming beasts that follow humans, etc., which can never be generalized.

Standing in front of the white bones for a while, the two continued to move forward in a tacit understanding, and here they saw a more special skeleton, like a snow leopard, with ice blue bones and dark blue claw bones.

"At least it's a top-level third-order demon beast. Zhou Qi commented: "Although there is no demon core and flesh and blood, this bone is not bad, do you need it? If not, I will accept it." ”

"Brother Zhou, please. Ling Qingyun said, Zhou Qi nodded and walked to the snow leopard skeleton, not much to take, just knocked down the claw bone with a special color and cold breath and put it into the baggage, no matter how big it is, this claw bone has its own extraordinary characteristics as the strongest part of the snow leopard before its death, whether it is used as a cultivation or refining weapon.

Further on, the multicolored light makes the eyes shine slightly, but it is a small pit full of various colored stones and crystals, the stones are all spirit stones, and the crystals are also extraordinary, which is undoubtedly a precious collection of snow bears.

In this collection, there is one thing that is the most conspicuous, this is a piece of sapphire with hundreds of planes, the size is similar to the fist, the blue light is dreamy and mysterious, there seems to be snow, there are changing gods and rare breath of life in the ice, it is not so much a gem, but rather a frost mist, a drop of God.

Ling Qingyun was attracted by this gem at first sight, he recognized this thing as Cold Snow Spirit, which is an extremely rare alien species in the Crystallized Ice Soul of the Snow Region, compared to the extremely cold and uncontrollable Ice Spirit, the Cold Snow Soul gives birth to a point of vitality in the extreme cold, and can be used as a high-grade spirit stone that makes cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, and also because of the special characteristics of the extreme cold, it can be refined into life-saving pills, and it is also a kind of refining treasure, which can give the metal the strange characteristics of "change", because of its extremely cold nature to avoid being too rigid and broken, and comprehensively improve the toughness and repair ability of a weapon.

"Brother Zhou. Ling Qingyun looked at Zhou Qi: "Han Xueluo is of great use to me, I don't know if I can cut my love?"

"Naturally. Zhou Qi also nodded very dryly: "The snow bear is hunted by you and me, the demon core belongs to me, and this cold snow spirit naturally belongs to you, as for the other spirit stones, how about half of it?"

Ling Qingyun happily promised, this is very fair, Han Xue Lu is extremely rare, often has a price, it is hard to find, the value of a fifth-order demon beast core is also ten thousand gold, but it is a pity that Snow Bear knows that he will die, and before he dies, he damaged his demon core, which made its value drop a lot.

After such a search, the two of them also made a lot of money, and they couldn't help but sigh at the abundance of the fifth-order demon beast collection, after all, as the overlord of the snow mountain, this creature has far more opportunities to find treasures than outsiders, but Zhou Qi was not very satisfied, and after turning around the cave twice, he suddenly swung his fist at a mediocre ice wall, and the ice wall was three feet thick and shattered, revealing a cave, and a fruit as bright as white jade.

"Xue Yuanguo!" Zhou Qi was taken aback: "No wonder this guy is desperate to go back to his lair, this thing can completely help him continue his life!"

There is no doubt that this Xue Yuan Fruit is also a treasure worth ten thousand gold, it has the miraculous effect of living and living bones, and the fragrance emitted makes the two of them excited, and they have the urge to swallow it in one bite, Zhou Qi glanced at Ling Qingyun and put the Xue Yuan Fruit into the jade box.

Ling Qingyun has no objection to this, although in this way Zhou Qi has one more treasure harvest than him, but the snow bear is what he killed, and Zhou Qi is a guide to guide Ling Qingyun in this line, and Ling Qingyun does not feel inappropriate to let more benefits, if there is no Zhou Qi, he will not have the idea of crossing the Snow Mountain at all, and naturally there will be no such gains.

After exploring the entire cave and making sure that nothing was missed, the two returned to the snow bear carcass, distributed the precious materials that could be collected and carried, and directly prepared a sumptuous supper with the snow bear's paws to spend the first night in the snowy mountain.

In the early morning light, the two bid farewell to the warm cave and braved the wind, snow and cold to embark on a journey deeper into the snowy mountains.

"Detour. On the way, Zhou Qi suddenly spoke, Ling Qingyun walked around as he said, and after a while, he saw a yak walking by their original path, and suddenly mooed halfway through, and then looked at it, where was there a figure?

Ling Qingyun was frightened, he knew that the yak had fallen into an imperceptible pit, he was afraid that he had fallen into the abyss, this big snow-capped mountain was really full of dangers, and if he was not careful, even a golden-bodied powerhouse like him would hate it.

"Are you interested in swimming in a glacial lake? Walking to a certain plateau, Zhou Qi, who was aware of it, smiled at Ling Qingyun, but he took the lead in walking forward, and after a hundred steps, he let out a low voice, and the snow flew in the waves, revealing the ice surface that was as smooth as a mirror, Ling Qingyun was surprised, but he couldn't bear to be curious and followed Zhou Qi onto the ice.

"The ice layer is not thin, what danger will it be?" Ling Qingyun secretly wondered, ordinary people walking on the ice may cause the ice surface to break, but with his body method, he can step on the snow without a trace, naturally he will not step on the ice surface, even if he really falls into the water, he will not be too afraid, unless it is the legendary weak water, heavy water, etc.

"No, such a low temperature has already crossed the freezing point, if it weren't for a volcanic lake under this ice, it must be extremely cold!" Ling Qingyun was secretly vigilant, and only then followed Zhou Qi out of dozens of steps, and suddenly saw the corner of the other party's mouth raise a strange arc, and secretly screamed in his heart, but he didn't hesitate to look down-

A dark shadow is rapidly approaching from the bottom of the lake!

With a loud bang, a foot of ice was easily shattered, and the giant shadow jumped out of the water, and the cold and shining sharp teeth in the bloody mouth were like razors, and the consequences of being bitten can be imagined.

The sword flashed, and the long giant fish with blue and black scales was directly cut in half, but it writhed very energetically when it landed on the ice, its upper body opened its mouth, and it vowed to swallow its prey with its fins, and its lower body shook its tail vigorously, jumping to a height of several feet, which also caused the cracks on the ice to spread.

"What is this?" Ling Qingyun frowned and looked at the strange giant fish whose form was different from any existing species, even like a deep-sea creature, at that moment he really felt the danger, even if he was bitten by this giant fish, even if he was bitten by this giant fish, he would be injured, this was a rare alien species, but how could there be such a frozen lake in the Great Snow Mountain, and what did this giant fish rely on to grow?

The doubts were suppressed by the ensuing sounds, and a chill welled up in his heart, Ling Qingyun saw the undercurrent surging under the ice lake, and he didn't know how many dark shadows were approaching!

"If you don't want to die, run away!" Zhou Qi's voice came from a distance, dozens of zhang away, Rao is Ling Qingyun also blushed at this moment, but he did not hesitate to launch the dragon swimming body method, accompanied by strange fish to break the ice, and tried his best to escape!
