The New Year of the town is destined to have little to do with the scorching sun. The government's management regulations stipulate that no spirit slaying team is allowed to enter the valley before the Lantern Festival, and it is very difficult for the Yueyang Lou team to make a difference within ten days.

But—

The town on the first day of the Lunar New Year is sunny.

In front of Yueyang Tower, there were two young men with young faces early in the morning,

It was the newly recruited soul slaying apprentices Xu Yan and Tang Yu of the Yueyanglou team, both of whom were born in Orion, and they were also speculative when they chatted about some hunting experience at this time.

Waiting until the morning sun rose and the sun shone on his body with some heat, an old man shouted angrily and scolded in the distance: "Wang Ba Lizi, don't come back if you go! Otherwise, I will break your legs!"

I don't know why, but I saw Liu Jianlong's gloomy face appear in the field of vision.

"Brother Liu, happy New Year!" Xu Yan was warm-hearted and waved his hand. Liu Jianlong can perceive the spirits between heaven and earth, and he can be regarded as half a cultivator, so it is not inappropriate to call him brother, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Jianlong came to Yueyang Tower, grinned and greeted the two, and then sighed: "My family is in the alley next door, and I have always been doing some sugar cake business - my parents gave birth to me, and I was angry when I came to Yueyang Tower as an apprentice to kill spirits." ”

In the rivers and lakes of the Stardust Continent, the status of soul slaying is very high, and it is also a high-risk profession.

Apprentices serving the spirit slaying team often bear the brunt of the team's high-risk hunting activities when they enter the habitat of the spirit beast with the occupying team and carry out high-risk hunting activities.

These dangers are a cliché, and the three apprentices are well aware of them.

Xu and Tang were the ancestors who ate this mouthful, but they were mentally prepared. Liu Jianlong, as the only heir of Liu Ji's sugar cake shop, wants to run to fight spirit beasts, so as not to be reprimanded by his family.

Xu Yan comforted: "When we make money and go home to honor our parents, it doesn't matter if we have any unpleasantness in the past." ”

Liu Jianlong nodded silently, his expression was slightly complicated - he was scolded on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and anyone would feel uncomfortable.

——

It didn't take long for the door in front of them to open, and it was Yue Shiyi who was wearing a gray fur coat to greet them.

The three of them hurriedly saluted: "Meet Lord Yue!"

After saying some blessings for the New Year's meeting, it was inevitable that he wanted to look for the traces of "Master Li", but until he was led into Yueyang Tower by Yue Shiyi, he didn't see the scorching sun.

There is only a cute little maid in an ordinary cloth dress, who takes care of the housework in the house.

It is said that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you should stay at home, but for Lieyang and others, time is urgent, and you must do something before the Lantern Festival!

For example, let the three soul slaying apprentices quickly integrate into the team and form a relatively complete structure.

Ask the three of them to come to Yueyang Tower for some "on-the-job training".

Before the sun was shining, he left Yueyang Tower, avoided the patrolling generals, and went to the outskirts of the town - even if there was the aura of the old wind, but Lieyang was sure that those strong people with ulterior motives would definitely target Yueyang Tower!

If he is here, he will be involved in Yue Shiyi and Gu Xue.

Lurking first and hiding in the shadows is conducive to the development of Yueyanglou's team.

And the reason why he was able to avoid many eyes and ears and come to the outskirts of the town was because of his rich experience and extraordinary skills. On the one hand, there are the characteristics of the Black Sky System!

In the abandoned dantian, the Black Sky Magic Weapon is like a bottomless night, the Black Sky Silk Thread can not only increase the flow rate of spiritual power in the meridians, but after further control, it can actually cover up the fluctuation of spiritual power!

Searching for spiritual power fluctuations is an important means for cultivators to detect each other. The scorching sun controls the black sky, giving him super hidden skills!

As long as the blazing sun changes his face a little and takes back all the soul power of the Earth Xuan Middle Realm to the sea of knowledge, in the eyes of other cultivators, he is a passerby.

——

On the southern outskirts of the town, the ice and snow covered with grass and trees shimmered brightly. Barren mountains and mountains, uninhabited, should have been a quiet early spring snowmelt, but the quiet was broken by the sound of gentle footsteps.

"Whew, nice weather. ”

Dressed in an ordinary way, Lieyang exhaled a breath of white air, and deliberately smeared some stains on his face, which at first glance looked similar to a woodcutter from a neighboring village.

On the right side of the mountain ridge where the sun is located is a flat official road leading to the town, and on the left is a vast lake, the shape of which is not standardized.

Looking at it from the side of the mountain, it looks like a three-point star, cut by a knife.

"Robbing the Lake......" The scorching sun overlooks the lake, and feels that there are many secrets hidden in the vast heaven and earth, but they can't reach the level and can't see through it at a glance.

"Master, what are we doing here?" Lieyang used his soul power to transmit his voice and asked Elder Feng.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, don't stay at home and sleep lazy, run out to blow the cold wind?

Lieyang did have a plan for the golden cicada to come out of its shell, but not so quickly. If it weren't for the sudden voice of the wind elder in the middle of the night, Lieyang should have taught those three apprentices the basic combat moves in the courtyard at this time.

"Come find something good. "Feng Lao seems to have slept a lot, yawning for a long time.

Lieyang's face was full of confusion: "This is the Northwest Wasteland, what can I have?"

Far from the valley, the land becomes barren, and it is only further south that the vegetation becomes dense, and you enter the real land of abundance, the land of fish and rice.

"Hey, hey. The old wind smiled out of tune, making Lie Yang roll his eyes darkly, "Stinky boy, do you look at this lake, doesn't it look like a three-trick thrust from right to left, and a backhand slash after the change of technique?"

“......”

Even if Feng Lao didn't remind him, Lieyang thought so, and he couldn't help but frown at this moment, "Could it be that it really is?"

The area of the lake is very large, not to mention how long the edge of the horizontal slash is, the lake pit caused by the three stabs has a radius of at least ten miles.

What level of powerhouse does it have to be to have such a powerful attack power?

Lie Yang had seen his grandfather Lie Fei's Cave Heaven Domain martial arts with his own eyes, even if he magnified it several times, it couldn't reach that level - the killing line of the backhand horizontal slash, roughly estimated, was actually more than fifty miles!

"Yes, that is the trace left by a peerless powerhouse in the primeval period. A complicated look flashed in Feng Lao's eyes, and while sighing, he snorted stubbornly.

Lieyang was completely confused: "Master, that has to ...... How strong is it? How does it compare to the first Emperor Chen?"

For thousands of years, people have regarded the first Emperor Chen as the strongest person on this continent! Otherwise, it would not be easy to defeat the invincible opponents all over the world and establish a Chen Kingdom that lasted for thousands of years.

"Hey, the first Emperor Chen?"

Feng Lao is really disdainful this time, and he is rightly arrogant, "Compared to that peerless powerhouse, he is a third-rate goods." ”

"......" Lieyang's face was stunned, and he always felt that the New Year's style was old, and it was still a little unreliable. The first Emperor Chen created the spiritual eye system in the Stardust Continent, allowing cultivators to get closer to the Heavenly Dao.

Nowadays, the martial arts of many Jianghu forces have the shadow of the Chen family, how can the first Emperor Chen be a third-rate product?

Feng Lao knew that he didn't believe it, and he didn't force it, so he sighed: "At the battle scene of the supreme powerhouse, there will always be something left-"

Lieyang was in a daze, and heard Feng Lao say again: "Let's go, let's go to the center of the lake." ”

"Damn? Lieyang stared widely, "It's cold, you can't swim in winter, right?"

There is a thin layer of ice on the surface of the lake, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the cold water.

Unexpectedly, Feng Lao said as a matter of course: "Otherwise?"

——

A few minutes later, a small black spot appeared on the surface of the slightly frozen lake.

The sun wasn't that stupid, and if you moved step by step, God knows when you would get to the middle of the lake?

Tie it to your feet and use the aura of the spirit seed to explode and glide quickly on the ice.

"Master, what is it?" Lieyang was very curious, Feng Lao's state was not good, and his actions would definitely not be untargeted.

In this calamity lake, there must be some great treasures that will make Feng Lao's heart move.

was expecting Feng Lao to give an exciting answer, but the old guy smiled evilly: "Actually, it's nothing, you have just experienced the fire spirit quenching, just like the embryo of a weapon that has been calcined - to build a weapon, in addition to calcination, don't you have to quench it?" The feng shui of the lake is good, the water quality is pure, and it is just right for you to go in and bubble!"

"Believe in your evil ......" Lieyang sped up and snorted in his nose.

What about weapon quenching, it is better to directly say let yourself swim in winter and strengthen your physical ability.

Feng Lao is not a dead seller, he can distinguish the emotions of the baby apprentice, and laugh again as if comforting: "Oh, don't worry." My soul power was scattered, and I couldn't pinpoint it, but I just felt that there might be something—it should be a fragment of a divine soldier or something. ”

"Artifact shards?"

A gleam flashed in Lieyang's eyes, "Definitely...... Valuable, isn't it?"

"Ahem, cough, cough-" Feng Lao's expression was embarrassed, and he coughed twice, "The value is for sure, if it can still be used, hehehe." ”

After less than two serious words, Feng Lao's grotesque laughter lingered in Lieyang's mind again.

"Whose weapon was shattered?" Lieyang was intrigued by the battle that took place in the primeval period, "Who won?"

"This ......"

Involving too long ago, Feng Lao's tone was also a little uncertain, but after a little thought, he still gave the answer: "In terms of hard power, the strong ones who left these traces are actually not as good as the two opponents - but they are not enemies, so the two opponents did not go all out at the beginning." ”

Later, he used some tricks to barely reach a draw with the man and the woman. Feng Lao spoke solemnly again, and Lie Yang nodded suddenly, it turned out that on the Stardust Continent, there had been a strong man of that level.

And a man and a woman?

It shouldn't be a drama of snatching someone's wife, right?

Feng Lao didn't know the grotesque thoughts in Lie Yang's heart, and continued: "As far as I know, one of the opponent's divine weapons, the soul of the weapon was completely annihilated, and the artifact was shattered—near the robbery lake, there was the breath of that artifact. If you can get even a little bit of a fragment, it will be of great benefit to you!"

Weapons that reach a certain level can give birth to a soul.

Before the soul is destroyed, the weapon can be quickly restored if it is damaged or broken. After the soul of the weapon is annihilated, the weapon itself will be truly damaged.

"I see. Lieyang adjusted his mood, "Then there is Master Lao, the apprentice must go all out to find it!"

——

Elder Feng was determined to let Lie Sun find the artifact fragments, and there must be a way to use them—otherwise, would they be able to find them back as ornaments?

Feng Lao's saber Blazing Sun has already seen it, and with his momentum alone, he can deter the Wild Snow Giant Ape that is comparable to the powerhouse of the Cave Heaven Domain, and even the magical fragments that Feng Lao values are not trivial!

It didn't take long for Lieyang to arrive at the center of the lake, and when he looked around, he felt like he was surrounded by a frosty white.

The ice surface of the lake is not thick, and if you stop for a while, there will be a "click" sound under your feet, which makes your back chill, for fear that if you are not careful, you will fall into the cold lake.

He hurriedly bent down and protected his body with the spirit of noon fire, while using his soul power to ask Feng Lao: "Master, what about now?"

On the way over, Feng Lao has been trying to locate himself, but his soul power has been injured, and he has just healed Gu Xue and quenched his body for Lieyang, and the goal is not clear.

Click......

Click......

The ice in the middle of the lake may collapse at any time, and Feng Lao is still carefully proofreading, wanting to give the most accurate position to the sun. In the howling cold wind, the sound of ice jumps in the ears, making people extremely nervous.

"Master?"

A few minutes later, the sun called again.

But the breath of the old wind told him that he had to wait a little longer.

Click......

Click......

The body of the blazing sun is protected by the spirit of noon fire, lying on the ice, it will destroy the structure of the ice, and the huge crack visible to the naked eye, accompanied by continuous sounds, spreads rapidly around it!

Time slips quickly between your fingers.

Under the fingers of the scorching sun is the ice that is beginning to shake!

"Master!"

Click......

Click......

Ten minutes after the scorching sun reached the core of the lake, the thin layer of ice finally could not withstand the constant pressure and suddenly shattered.

At the same time as the scorching sun sadly fell into the lake, the old man Feng, who had been silent for a long time, finally reacted: "Dive to the bottom of the lake directly below, search for a position about ten meters in front of you, and you will definitely find it!"

"Good!"

The scorching sun fell into the icy lake, and he was covered in a spirit, even if he was protected by the spirit of the noon fire, he was shivering with cold at this moment. However, the passion for searching for magical shards made the sun quickly leave the cold behind.

Zhihaili responded vigorously, immediately opened the void realm, and said to Feng Lao: "Master, help me get the sword!"

Feng Lao comprehended, and immediately divided his divine sense, meticulously invaded Lieyang's body, and entered the scope of the void realm, and the two of them joined forces, and the Zhaolie Divine Sword with a dark red body was finally caught by Lieyang!

The lake is extremely deep, and if you don't have anything heavy in your hand, the dive speed will be very slow, and it will be a waste of physical strength. Even if Lieyang is a cultivator, he is in danger of drowning.

"Damn, it's still so heavy?"

I thought that there was buoyancy underwater, and it would be easier to hold the Zhaolie Sword, but the long sword in his hand was still very weak! It dragged the scorching sun down quickly, and the oncoming darkness made the scorching sun, who had never been afraid, feel a little awe.

The Flame Army rarely fights on water, and Sun is not trained in water warfare, so he is very average in water. The psychological panic made his use of breath flawed, and in the extremely cold situation, the energy of the noon fire spirit seed was also being consumed at an exaggerated rate!

However, the depth of the lake was far beyond the expectations of the scorching sun.

After sinking for three minutes, it was still dark in front of me, and even after five minutes, the back became black on one side, and it still did not sink to the bottom!

"I hope what Master said is true...... After passing a certain critical point, the anxious eyes of the Lieyang were replaced by a resolute light, the water pressure here was extremely high, he had already consumed more than half of it, if he didn't return immediately, the Lieyang would not have the ability to float to the surface on his own!

However, the soul power he spread out could be perceived, and the bottom of the lake was right in front of him!

Hidden in inky darkness!
