Chapter 22, The Cold Cave
Looking at a rocky island protruding from the Ice Mirror Lake, Qin Ye frowned and looked incredulous.
And Qin Ye was not alone in this thought, Bai Yunqi and Yu Lingyao were also very puzzled and looked at the boulder island not far away, obviously there was the clue about the ice spirit that Hua Lin said.
But as long as the clear-eyed people in that place looked at it, they could already find that there was nothing there, and it was impossible for the ice spirit to be there, so Qin Ye and the others would have a strange look.
"Hua Lin, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Of course not, this is a secret discovered by one of our ancestors of the Hua family by chance, there is a passage to the Ice Spirit Spring under that boulder, although the Ice Spirit Spring there has been exhausted, but the appearance of the Ice Spirit may activate it, because only the Spirit Spring there can make it grow faster. Hua Lin finally explained.
"If all of this is true, it's possible. Yu Lingyao also nodded in affirmation at this time, obviously she had also investigated a lot of things before she came, and she knew most about what Bing Ling needed.
"Although I may give you a basin of cold water in the next words, this is a very important issue, so I think it is better to talk to you in advance, after all, I didn't expect that we would actually have a chance to find the Ice Spirit in the first place. After hearing Hua Lin's explanation, Qin Ye could already determine a few points, but in this way, they might face another more troublesome problem.
"What's the matter, things have come to this point, does Qin Ye have any other problems?" Bai Yunshu asked strangely.
"It's true that this is a big problem that could affect our entire operation. Qin Ye said helplessly.
"What could be such a problem?"
"Because that ice spirit is most likely a mature ice spirit. ”
"How is this possible, it is generally impossible for a mature ice spirit to appear in the place where human activities are most frequent, not to mention where you got this news, why haven't we heard of it?" Hua Lin asked a little unacceptably at this time, after all, she sacrificed several subordinates in order to come here, but she turned out to be a mature ice spirit, how could she accept it?
The mature ice spirit and the juvenile ice spirit are two completely different existences, the juvenile ice spirit only has the strength of the Qi Gathering or Condensing Realm at most, but their own special abilities make it difficult to catch them, but the mature body is a fully grown ice spirit, that is, the strength will definitely not be weaker than the existence of the Yuan Sea Realm, and even the powerful ice spirit may have the strength above the Soul Realm, and that kind of existence is not at all the object that their group of little monks in the Qi Gathering and Condensing Realm can provoke.
"My news is from the Phantom World Palace, and I think you should also understand that their news is generally impossible to go wrong with the Phantom World Palace, so I will tell you at this time. Qin Ye said directly.
"Is there news from the Phantom World Palace? That seems to be wrong, but how could the other party tell you this news?" Bai Yunqi himself is the task officer of the Phantom World Palace, and naturally knows how high the credit of the Phantom World Hall is, but because of this, he is even more curious how the other party could tell Qin Ye such news so easily?
"I don't understand this question, so I haven't said it, but if I don't say it at this time, it may hurt everyone. Qin Ye's words are also very clear, that is, whether they want to continue the matter of looking for ice spirits depends on the decision of a few people here.
"Go, finding the Ice Spirit and the Cold Ice Spring is already my last hope, if I can't use the power in them to further my talent and cultivation, I won't even be able to return to my own family. "No one thought that the first person to decide would be Hua Lin, after all, her strength is the weakest among the four people here.
"I also want to take a look, after all, the opportunity is rare, maybe that ice spirit is seriously injured, so it will be seen by humans, and in that case, we will not have a chance at all. Yu Lingyao was the second to answer Qin Ye's question.
"Damn, you two women are not afraid, how can I be afraid? Bai Yunshu finally said.
"I didn't expect everyone to fight so hard, since that's the case, let's go down and take a look together, if it's really like what Ling Yao said, we may be able to pick up a big bargain." Qin Ye finally said with a smile.
Although he said it easily, everyone present understood that if they really encountered a mature ice spirit, even if it was just an injured ice spirit, it was definitely not an existence that they could easily provoke.
It can be said that they are just taking a risk, everyone benefits if they win, and it is really possible to put everyone's lives into it if they lose.
It's just that in the face of such danger, they have no one to flinch, I have to say that this is the idea of human beings in this world, and Qin Ye, who once lived in a peaceful world, here if you don't work hard, a person has no future at all, for strong strength, in order not to become a stepping stone for others, they can only seize every opportunity to improve themselves, until one day they become the existence that can control their own destiny.
Soon the four of them jumped onto the boulder, and after paying attention to the surrounding situation, they found that no one noticed them, so they slid into the water along a certain position of the boulder as Hua Lin said.
The moment he entered the water, Qin Ye looked back at a certain place on the shore, but there was nothing there, so Qin Ye was a little strange, but he didn't dig deeper, but dived into the water with the others.
After coming to the water, Qin Ye really felt what is called cold, the kind of cold that pierces the muscles and bones, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter such water, and only monks can use their own strength to resolve this cold, but it is still very dangerous to do this with the strength of the Qi Gathering Realm, fortunately, Qin Ye has tempered his body in the Spirit Evil Realm, otherwise I am afraid that he may not be able to stick to the underwater cave passage.
But what Qin Ye and the others didn't know was that when they dived into the water, a black shadow appeared from the position that Qin Ye was looking at just now, and soon landed on the boulder on the lake.
Although Qin Ye finally sensed something, the other party obviously did not release killing intent on them, so Qin Ye was not sure if his feelings were really correct, and he naturally did not say anything that he was so uncertain.
Soon Qin Ye and the others found a cave underwater, obviously this cave is not very secret, because it is in a pile of rocks, ordinary people will only think that this is a hole stacked between the stones at a glance, but how Hua Lin's ancestors found this place is even more strange.
After entering the cave, the four of them soon came to a hollow cave inside it, where everything was like a frozen world, surrounded by frozen things, and naturally there were no plants to grow here.
Qin Ye and the others, who had just jumped out of the water, were shivering astringently, obviously the water of the Ice Mirror Lake was far colder than they imagined, but soon a few of them used the spiritual power in their bodies to evaporate the excess water on their bodies, and after doing so, their bodies felt a trace of warmth, but it was only a trace of it, because the temperature in this cave was still extremely low, if they couldn't continue to operate their strength, then the four of them would probably still freeze to death in it.
"This hellish place is really cold enough, let's hurry up and go in and have a look, if there is really a mature ice spirit, run quickly, if not, hurry up and do something, and we'll leave when we're done." Bai Yuncho said coldly.
"Indeed, with our strength, we can't stay here for long, we just hope this cave is not as deep as we thought. Just looking at the light of the ice crystals reflected in the cave, Qin Ye felt that this place was definitely not as simple as they imagined.
Hua Lin and Yu Lingyao did not object to Qin Ye and Bai Yun's words, perhaps it should be said that they and Ben did not have the extra energy to oppose anything now, after all, the cold here was beyond the capacity of the two of them, so it was already very difficult for them to just use the power in their bodies to fight.
This Qin Ye and Bai Yun Slash can naturally see this, and Bai Yun Slash can withstand it because of his stronger strength, but Qin Ye can come here in a more relaxed state than them because he made his innate Dao body stronger after quenching his body.
However, as time passed, the four of them slowly began to adapt to the environment here, after all, they were all cultivators who had the ability to adapt to the environment, otherwise how could there be cultivators who could survive in a more harsh environment like the Spirit Demon Realm?
It's just that the passage in front of him is far more complex and wide than Qin Ye imagined, several times Qin Ye and the others were even confused by the light of the ice crystals, and turned in circles in place, and finally Yu Lingyao discovered this more carefully, and they got out of such a labyrinthine circle.
But in this way, the already tired bodies and minds of several people became more and more weak, after all, no one thought that the cave Hua Lin said would be such a complicated place, and Hua Lin had never seen anything similar in the records of her ancestors, and she didn't know if her ancestors didn't write it down, or if there was another reason.
