489 Ice Wasteland and Ning Infant Pill
Su Chen and Anu flew away from the sea of ice, and in a moment, they arrived at the sky above an ice wasteland.
The atmosphere of this icy wasteland is ancient and barren, and it is clear that no one has ever visited it for an extremely long time. There seemed to be thousands of miles in the radius, and many ice mounds were undulating, dry and cold, and there was no trace of grass, trees, and demon beasts.
Su Chen was a little vigilant and swept over this seemingly dead and silent ice wasteland with his divine sense, but it was actually full of dangers.
The ice aura in this place is extremely rich, far exceeding dozens of times that of the East China Sea, which is very suitable for the cultivation of ice-based creatures, and it is very likely that there will be ice-type creatures born and survive, and it is likely that there will be powerful ice-type demon beasts.
However, his divine sense probed and found nothing special.
"Childe, where are we going next?"
"Either go south and return to the East China Sea. Either go north and go to the Beiming Continent. No matter which direction you go, I'm afraid you will have to cross most of the Beiming Sea. ”
"Then let's go to the Beiming Continent!"
Anu's eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement, full of novelty.
She had long heard from other senior immortal cultivators about the legendary Beiming Continent.
Legend has it that it was a northern continent that was vastly larger than the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Middle-earth and the East China Sea, with a powerful Immortal Cultivation Imperial Dynasty, a force like the Heavenly Dao Alliance that had reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Dao, and countless high-level Immortal Cultivators, who were far more suitable for cultivation than Middle-earth and the East China Sea.
However, it is said that only the Yuanying Monk took an extremely long time to cross the Beiming Sea and reach the Beiming Continent. There are naturally very few people who can travel back and forth between the East China Sea and Beiming.
Since she and Su Chen have been teleported to the Beiming Sea by the Ancient Demon Array, it is better to go directly to the Beiming Continent, and they will have to cross this Beiming Ice Sea anyway.
"Okay!"
Su Chen agreed.
If he stepped on the Yuanying realm within the next two years, sooner or later he would have to cross this icy Beiming Sea and go to the Beiming Continent. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, so just go now.
Looking at Siye, he quickly discerned the direction.
It's daylight, and the sky is so thick that there are no stars in sight. But there was still an icy cold wind, and this cold wind was blowing from the north.
The north wind is cold, and the south wind is warm. The sea of Beiming is blown by the extremely cold northern ice wind all year round, so it is not wrong to go in the direction where the cold wind comes.
From time to time, fierce wind knives blew in the sky, and it was necessary to release the mana shield to ward off the cold wind.
Su Chen threw out a Aoki flying sword, carrying himself and Anu, and flew towards the north along the ice wasteland at a low altitude of hundreds of zhang, and he didn't dare to fly too high.
The two of them flew for a long time, and soon it was nightfall.
The night darkened, and the sea and sky were endless.
It was a night rush, but it was nothing.
Su Chen was shocked to find that after nightfall, the concentration of ice aura that permeated the heavens and the earth had skyrocketed by two or three times, becoming even more severe.
Originally, this Beiming Sea was extremely cold, and a cold wind struck, which was more powerful than the ice system great spell, and it could not be resisted at all below the Jindan Initial Realm.
After nightfall, it became even more unbearable, and even the late Jindan monks were extremely difficult.
These ice auras were rapidly eroding a layer of green mana shield outside his body. The mana of the shield is consumed quickly, and it is almost impossible to resist the invasion of the icy air.
He had to use the mana in his body with all his might to replenish the shield so that the mana shield would not disintegrate under the erosion of the icy air.
It's just that the mana in the body is consumed extremely quickly, and the ninth layer of the golden pill will last for at most an hour, and the dantian meridians will be exhausted.
If it goes on like this, with his cultivation, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive a cold night in the Beiming Ice Sea.
Once the mana is completely exhausted, the strength of the Jindan monk will be greatly weakened, and he will not even be able to use flying sword magic weapons, storage bags, etc. After destroying the mana shield, the pervasive ice aura would quickly invade the monk's body, and it would only take one day to completely freeze the body of a Jindan monk.
Su Chen looked back at Anu behind him, Anu's cultivation was much lower, and at this time, his face was a little pale, and it was even more unbearable, and the mana shield was only a thin layer, which was about to be eroded and disintegrated by the cold.
Su Chen hurriedly took out the fourth-order Mithril armor from the Sumeru ring and put it on for Anu. This Mithril armor has an extremely strong spell-repelling effect, which can resist ninety percent of the cold qi and open up most of the ice aura.
After Anu put on the Mithril armor, the mana consumption was finally much less, and his face returned to a hint of ruddyness.
"This Beiming Sea is so harsh and harsh, Jindan Monk can't even bear it! No wonder legend has it that only Yuanying Monk Fang is expected to pass through the Beiming Sea and reach the Beiming Continent. ”
Su Chen couldn't help but feel a headache.
At night in the Beiming Sea, the ice aura is too heavy to be rushed.
He didn't dare to fly any further, so he and Anu landed on the ice wasteland, looking for a place to escape the harsh cold.
It's just that there is nothing over the Ice Wasteland, only icebergs, thick layers of ice and cold winds blowing in the wind.
"Childe, there doesn't seem to be a place to hide from the cold here?"
Anu said with a worried expression.
"It's okay! Dig an ice cave and hide. ”
Su Chen thought about it for a while and immediately had an idea.
He pointed at his sword, and the sword flew out, cutting an ice cave on the iceberg that could accommodate dozens of zhang in size. The outside of the ice cave is wrapped in a thick layer of ice, which can isolate the invasion of the rich ice aura outside, but it is warmer.
In Gusu City before, when he was very young, he heard some hunters say that if he was trapped while hunting in the mountains in the cold winter, he must quickly dig an ice cave in the snowdrift and hide, otherwise he would freeze to death in the cold wind.
Come to think of it, this trick can also be used in this ice wasteland.
He and Anu burrowed into the ice cave in the hill, blocking the entrance to the ice cave with thick demon beast skins to isolate the rich ice aura from the outside world.
He also took a few dead branches of the spiritual peach tree from the Zhihai Ling Mountain, and set up a bonfire with a stone basin in the ice cave to keep warm.
A small fire burned violently, and the fire aura increased.
The ice cave is as warm as spring.
Anu was very interested, took out the stand from the storage bag, skewered large pieces of demon fish meat, burned it on the bonfire, poured some oil and spices, and it didn't take long for the aroma to rise, and the demon fish meat was roasted golden brown, and the aroma was extremely attractive.
The bonfire was reflected on her face, and the red flutter was moving.
Su Chen was in a trance for a while, recalling countless past events since he and Anu left Gusu City and since they set foot in the immortal cultivation realm.
"Childe, come, try the barbecue! I have rarely barbecued outside these years, and I don't know if the technique is rusty. ”
Anu smiled and handed over a skewer of grilled demon fish meat, and said.
Su Chen woke up and hurriedly took it, biting the demon fish meat in a big gulp, and was full of praise.
Although the sea of Beiming is cold and harsh, the two of them are rare to enjoy this warm leisure, and they don't feel difficult.
Su Chen was surprised to find that after taking the Ethereal Cicada earlier, the Yuan Infant Heart condensed in the Jin Dan had completely calmed down after a period of restlessness.
After the two finished eating the monster meat, they spread the monster skin blanket in the ice cave, lay down to rest, chatted, and waited for the next day to dawn and the cold air to dissipate.
"Childe, you said that we two Jindan monks, can we make it to the Beiming Continent alive?"
Anu was lying on the side of the monster beast leather blanket, looking at Su Chen next to him, blinking a pair of clear eyes, exhaling like an orchid.
She also knew very well that the harshness and danger of the Beiming Sea could only be crossed by the Yuanying Monk, and it was by no means something that the Jindan Monk could easily cross.
Otherwise, there would have been many Jindan monks going back and forth between the East China Sea and the Beiming Continent.
"Of course you can!"
Su Chen said.
It's just that the road is extremely difficult.
He counted the spiritual materials he carried, his expression was not optimistic, and he frowned and said: "In this Beiming Sea, there are only two kinds of spiritual energy, ice and water, and we can't get spiritual energy supplies from the outside world, so we can only rely on the supplies we bring in our storage bags to maintain mana." Use a little less, and the materials must be spared.
With the flight speed of the Yuanying Monk, it would take about a year to cross this treacherous Beiming Sea. The Jindan Monk's flight speed was only one-tenth, and the time required was at least ten times higher.
All the spiritual objects and pills in my hands combined, it is estimated that they can only last three years in the Beiming Sea. It is necessary to leave this sea of Beiming within three years. ”
Of course, this is only a theoretical time, in fact, in addition to the severe cold and freezing air, there are many unimaginable dangers in the Beiming Sea, and nine out of ten Jindan monks will not be able to get through it, and they will die in this sea area.
If you don't have enough strength, you rush headlong into the sea of Beiming, which is a fate.
"If we are in the middle of the Beiming Sea, no matter which direction we go to the East China Sea and the Beiming Continent, it will take more than five years to travel!
Anu was a little shocked.
"If you don't die, it's going to be very troublesome. I originally thought that after arriving in the Beiming Continent, I would find a stable place to break through the Yuanying realm. But now it seems that it is necessary to break through the Yuanying directly in this dangerous place of the Beiming Sea. ”
Su Chen's expression was also a little heavy.
As he spoke, he took out a round and fragrant Ning Infant Pill from the Sumeru ring.
He has a sufficient number of Yuan Infant Opportunities in his hands, and he can completely subdue these Yuan Infant Opportunities in this Beiming Sea and directly impact the Yuan Infant Realm.
If it goes well, it will only take about half a year to break through.
After stepping on the Yuanying Realm, his flight speed skyrocketed, and it only took one year to cross the Beiming Sea. That way, it doesn't even take three years to leave.
It's just that the Beiming Sea is not safe, and it is a very risky move to attack the Yuanying realm in this kind of place.
