Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 16 The Wind Takes Pity on the Snow, and the Ice Lake Saves the Jade Plum
"What a fuss!" Loren scoffed.
An ordinary little snake like this may be a beast-like existence in the eyes of ordinary people, but it can't pose any threat to Qin Yi, who has fused blood essence, and it may not even be able to bite through his skin.
β......β
Looking at the little snake broken in two on the ground, Qin Yi pinched his nose with some embarrassment.
He felt that he was groping his way forward in this dark environment, and he was a little panicked in his heart, and it was normal to be sensitive.
"Keep walking, we should be almost at the end. Lorraine felt the direction of the wind and continued to walk ahead.
......
......
In the dark and narrow passage, the two groped their way forward step by step, and the speed seemed to be a little slow.
Occasionally, a cool breeze blew in his face, making Qin Yihan's hair stand up, and his back was already wet with cold sweat more than once.
Suddenly, the advancing fluorescence stopped.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yi asked as he looked around and was a little nervous.
β...... Did you hear any strange noises......" Lorain said after a moment of silence.
"What, don't scare me......" Qin Yi listened hard for a while, with a hint of surprise on his face.
There was no strange sound in the passage except for the howling of the wind blowing in the cold wind.
Luo Lan stared, sensed again, and didn't hear any more sounds.
"Maybe I misheard, right?" she frowned, her face puzzled, but she was secretly vigilant in her heart.
In this cave, she also smelled a strange smell.
"Let's go ahead and have a look......" After a moment's hesitation, Loren began.
The further he walked into the cave, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness in Qin Yi's heart became, and seeing Luo Lan take the lead in walking inside, he gritted his teeth and quickly followed.
After continuing to go deeper into it for a while, Luo Lan suddenly said in surprise, "There is light ahead!"
Qin Yi stretched out his head to look, and sure enough, there was a light source not far in front of him, which should be an exit.
The two of them hurried towards the exit, they really didn't want to stay in the narrow passage any longer.
After staying in such a dark passage for a long time, there will always be a feeling of depression, and at this time, the mood will naturally be more comfortable when seeing the light source.
"Here...... It's beautiful!"
As soon as Lorraine stepped out of the passage, he was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
In front of him was a small valley, where most of the plants were green and full of life, not as lifeless as the dark black iron trees in the ruins.
In the quiet valley, birds chirp gracefully, and the fluttering white snow falls on the green green bamboo, covering it with a layer of silver veil.
The green bamboo was bent over by the snow, swaying from side to side in the cold wind, and from time to time it would sprinkle a large patch of snow white.
The birds in the nest under the bamboo leaves are not afraid of the biting cold, and occasionally make a crisp call.
In the middle of the valley there is a small lake, and there is a hint of chill on the surface of the lake.
There are plum trees blooming on the edge of the lake, and the plum blossoms look more and more delicate in the snow.
The cold wind blows, and the plum blossoms are accompanied by flying snow, streak through the air in a graceful arc, and then fall to the surface of the lake.
Pieces of crushed ice float on the surface of the lake, dragging falling snow and plums.
The faint fragrance in the air wafts far away, adding a touch of charm to the cold wind.
The breeze is merciful and snowy, and the ice lake is full of jade plums.
It is indeed a beautiful scenery that is rare in the world!
Qin Yi stretched out his hand to catch the flying snow in the air, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"At this time, it should be spring outside......
The snow falls in the palm of your hand, then slowly melts into water and runs down your fingers.
"In the past, on snowy days, Qing'er would clamoring to build a snowman......" he said faintly, with a trace of loneliness in his heart.
Listening to Qin Yi's words, a trace of fluctuation appeared in Luo Lan's eyes.
Quietly watching the snow, the two of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke first.
Hmmm-
A cold wind blew, Qin Yi's heart jumped, and the feeling of uneasiness instantly became extremely strong, and he involuntarily took half a step back.
Whewβ
The cold wind brought up a string of blood beads and streaked across his eyes, but at some point, a blood mark appeared on his face.
Luo Lan also reacted in time, pulled out the black iron knife with several openings in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.
Qin Yi stretched out his hand and touched the blood marks on his face, and was shocked in his heart, if he had just taken half a step back, I am afraid that this blood mark would have appeared on his neck!
Luo Lan's eyes were a little solemn, although she was a little affected by the beautiful scenery here, but before that, she had already sensed the surroundings and did not find any danger.
And the cold wind just now seemed to be generated out of thin air, without any warning, and it was able to hide the spiritual power so perfectly, and the strength of the other party was probably not below her.
However, what made her a little puzzled was that there were people like her in this spirit ruin, and none of them were people who were caught by the Blood Devil!
"Little guy, it's not easy to be able to dodge the old man's sword qi!" suddenly a faint voice sounded in the air.
"What people!" Luo Lan let out a loud shout, and the spiritual power in his body secretly worked.
"Hehe, little girl, put away your thoughts, your little spiritual power is not a threat to the old man at all. β
Buzz β
There was a hum, and I saw a white shadow slowly emerging on the surface of the lake in the middle of the valley.
The white shadow was the appearance of an old man, and it looked a little transparent, and the sunlight seemed to be able to pass through his body.
As soon as the old man appeared, the air in the valley seemed to be half frozen, and there was no trace of flow.
Dingββ
The old man stretched out his hand and pointed lightly at Luo Lan, who instantly felt a huge pressure enveloping him.
Her face changed suddenly, and she wanted to dodge and retreat, but the space around her seemed to be imprisoned, and she couldn't move at all!
The space seemed to be pinched in half by a big hand, compressed inward, and Luo Lan felt that she was tightly locked in this space, and no matter how she operated, the spiritual power in her body could not be mobilized in the slightest.
"Space Blockade!" Luo Lan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he exclaimed, "You are through the Netherworld-"
What is Tranquility?
You can go through nine days on the top, and you can go into the netherworld on the bottom!
Being able to manipulate space at will is a means that can only be achieved through the Netherworld.
If this old man really passed through the Netherworld, then there was no possibility for them to escape at all.
In the eyes of the power of the Secret Realm, there is no distance at all, shrinking the ground into inches, and one step is just an instant.
In the eyes of those mortals, the pilgrimage to the North Sea is easy to travel in the twilight of the cangwu, and it is easy to pass through the seclusion.
There was a hint of a smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he didn't pay attention to Luo Lan's shock, but turned his head to look at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was already stunned at the moment, in his heart, Luo Lan was undoubtedly very powerful, he couldn't even make a move in Luo Lan's hands, but in the hands of this old man, Luo Lan had no power to fight back!
Looking at the old man's smiling face, Qin Yi secretly swallowed his saliva.
"Little guy, how did you dodge that sword qi just now?" the old man asked as he looked at Qin Yi with a smile.
Luo Lan, who was imprisoned in place, also looked at Qin Yi curiously, knowing that the sword qi just now was very hidden, and even she didn't notice it in advance, how did Qin Yi find out?
Although the old man smiled and looked peaceful, Qin Yi would not think that the old man was a good person because of this.
Just by the vicious sword qi that hit his neck just now, he could see that this old man was definitely not a good stubble.
"That...... It's just a fluke. Qin Yi said a little nervously.
"Haha-" Hearing Qin Yi's words, the old man laughed, then his eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a cold voice, "Do you treat the old man as a fool? If you are lucky enough to avoid the old man's sword qi, then what am I doing with the sword?"
"Uh......" The old man's words made Qin Yi a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to respond.
He can't tell the old man that he dodged that sword by instinct, right?
Who believes in such a mysterious thing as intuition?
Seeing Qin Yi stunned in place, the old man chuckled, "It's okay, if you don't say it, then let's try it......"
As he spoke, the old man raised a hand, his fingers gently flicked in the air, and the space was like the surface of water, rippling one after another.
Buzz β
Suddenly, Qin Yi's heart trembled, and that strong sense of uneasiness resurfaced.
He leaned back, and a transparent sword qi brushed the tip of his nose and slowly slashed, and he could even feel the sharp aura of the sword qi.
"Huh?"
The old man was shocked, his brows furrowed slightly, "Interesting......"
As he spoke, the old man's fingers moved slightly, and a sword qi shot towards Qin Yifei again.
The speed of the sword qi is not very fast, but it is very hidden, and it is difficult to see its trajectory.
"Coming back!?"
The uneasiness in Qin Yi's heart reappeared, and he rolled to the side.
"You're not done, bad old man!"
Qin Yi's face turned dark, and the constant sense of uneasiness in his heart made him a little angry.
However, the old man didn't care about Qin Yi's anger at all, and the sword qi in his hand continued to shoot towards Qin Yi.
These sword qi are not very powerful, and their flight speed is very slow, and the only characteristic is that they are very hidden.
In Luo Lan's opinion, if these sword qi hadn't exploded, I'm afraid that the Returning Yuan Realm cultivators wouldn't have discovered its existence.
She really didn't know how Qin Yi had discovered the trajectory of these sword qi.
Qin Yi couldn't say anything at the moment, although he could feel the approach of the sword qi, but his strength was still too low, under the attack of so many sword qi, many places on his body had already seen red, and the spiritual power in his body had almost dried up.
"Bad old man, have you had enough!" Qin Yi's face turned pale and looked at the old man angrily.
"Master, I'm not hiding, if you want to kill, kill it!"
As he spoke, he slammed straight to the ground, his chest rising and falling, and his mouth gasping for air.
Luo Lan looked at Qin Yi's appearance, a little dumbfounded, she had the urge to cover her face and tell others that she didn't know this person.
"Not bad, not bad. The old man looked at Qin Yi's appearance, stroked his beard and laughed.
"Little bastard, do you think Lao Tzu is going to kill you, and you can still live until now?"
Maybe it was the foul language that burst out of Qin Yi's mouth that slightly affected the old man, and the words that the old man said also carried a bit of vulgarity.
β......β
Listening to the old man's words, Qin Yi blinked, turned over and stood up.
"You won't kill us?" Qin Yi asked as he looked at the old man.
The old man smiled and nodded, and with a slight wave of his sleeves, he lifted the confinement on Luo Lan's body.
"If we don't kill us, we'll do so many things, it's really a bad old man!" Qin Yi muttered quietly.
Hearing Qin Yi's words, the old man's face darkened, and his eyes became not so friendly when he looked at Qin Yi.
Although Qin Yi's voice was very small, he could naturally hear it clearly with the old man's cultivation.
