"This boulder is so strange!"

At the entrance of the boulder hole outside the Cold Flame Valley, Qiao Yuan walked out in one step, he turned his head to look at the crack behind him that only allowed one person to pass through, and whispered to himself.

Because his cultivation has increased a lot, when Qiao Yuan passed through this boulder hole this time, he noticed that there seemed to be an extremely strange and obscure power in this boulder.

Qiao Yuan didn't know what this power was, but he guessed that this power should be able to prevent non-Moon River Sect disciples from blending into the Cold Flame Valley.

At this moment, the sky was already much brighter, just right for going to the snow mountain, without staying too much, Qiao Yuan took out the Jin Yao Sword, and the sword headed towards the snow mountain, and Bai Yue was temporarily included in the spirit beast circle by him in the Cold Flame Valley.

It didn't take long for Qiao Yuan to come to the entrance of the cave where he and Qu Yunwei escaped that day.

The entrance to this cave was now covered by thick snow, but Qiao Yuan had left a mark here before, so he was able to find this hole extremely quickly.

Qiao Yuan raised his hand and waved, his spiritual power surged, and the surrounding winds condensed towards Qiao Yuan, as if he was now the messenger who controlled the wind.

This fierce wind was like an earth dragon, heading directly towards the thick snow, and in an instant, a passage the size of a zhang appeared in front of Qiao Yuan's eyes.

Qiao Yuan took a step and walked in directly, because he had been here once before, and the road was very familiar, and after a while, he came to the depths of the cave.

"What is this?"

Qiao Yuan suddenly paused, his spiritual power converged in his eyes, and he stared intently at a bluestone slab in the corner of the cave, which was hidden by earth and stones.

This bluestone slab was very ordinary, and it was stained with a lot of mud, but Qiao Yuan saw a few vague figures on it.

With a wave of his hand, he immediately wiped the dirt off it, and then washed it with clean water so that he could see the contents of the bluestone slab clearly.

There are dozens of figures carved on it, these people are old and young, men and women, the expressions on their faces are not clear, but looking at their movements and postures, Qiao Yuan can see what these people are worshipping.

The bluestone slab was about seven feet long and three feet wide, and Qiao Yuan turned it over with all his might, but he saw several lines of ancient characters engraved on the back of the slate.

Qiao Yuan almost didn't know any of these words, and after a moment of silence, Qiao Yuan muttered softly.

"Could it be that the person engraved on it is the person who is frozen in the ice cave underground?"

Although Qiao Yuan couldn't see the faces of these people on the slate, he felt that his guess was likely to be true.

At this moment, Qiao Yuan suddenly felt that this place was mysterious, it seemed that the Cold Flame Valley that Qiao Yuan saw was just the tip of the iceberg, and there were countless secrets hidden underground.

Qiao Yuan flicked his sleeves and put the bluestone slab into the storage ring, leaving it for future study slowly, and then he continued to move inside.

After a short time, Qiao Yuan came to the fork in the road inside the snow mountain, and a large amount of hot spring water was still filled in this passage.

When he reached the end of the passage, he was blocked by a thick layer of ice, Qiao Yuan raised his hand and smashed it with a punch, rushed out of the broken ice, and stood on the ice.

"The mysterious demon beast under that ravine should be the same existence as the one in the Flame God Temple, so as long as I don't approach that ravine anymore, it should be fine. ”

Qiao Yuan cautiously walked in this underground ice cave, saw the devastated appearance here, and thought of the scene that day seemed to be the coming of the end of the world, and muttered softly.

At the same time, he was still worried in his heart whether the icicles of those who were frozen in ice would shatter, if they were broken too much, the death aura would spread in an all-round way, and it would be more dangerous for him to absorb it at that time.

However, to Qiao Yuan's surprise, none of those icicles were broken, and the ice around them had broken and shattered, but those icicles were standing there intact.

Qiao Yuan felt that an extremely strong deathly aura was permeating the icicles, and he didn't go over directly, but chose a place where the deadly aura was relatively thin and sat down cross-legged.

With a thought in his mind, Bai Yue appeared beside him, Bai Yue could absorb the cold qi to cultivate, the cold qi here was extremely strong, and it was very beneficial to it.

And once there is too much cold in Qiao Yuan's body, Bai Yue can also help Qiao Yuan suck the cold out.

"There should be no mistake, these frozen people are dressed very similarly to the people on the bluestone slab, and they seem to be of the same race or clan. ”

Qiao Yuan's eyes swept over the icicles around him one by one, and he saw the men, women, and children with respectful and pious expressions inside, and said secretly in his heart.

"But who are these people, and why are they frozen here, and it seems that they are voluntarily frozen, what is the Moon River Sect hiding?"

A large number of questions immediately appeared in Qiao Yuan's heart, these questions made his heart shake, and as he understood more, the fog in his heart became more and more.

After a cup of tea, Qiao Yuan put away his chaotic thoughts and began to slowly absorb these deadly qi.

He pinched out a strange seal with both hands, and the spiritual power in his body surged wildly, and then opened his mouth and sucked it in all directions.

Under this inhalation, a large amount of cold qi mixed with some deathly qi poured into Qiao Yuan's body.

Because of the experience of the last time, this time, Qiao Yuan was not flustered at all, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Yuan stayed in this underground ice cave for three days, although the time was long, but Qiao Yuan was not absorbing the death qi all the time, but refining while absorbing it.

The refining is not complete, but it is just that the death evil qi will not be so thick that it will permeate Qiao Yuan's dantian, otherwise once the death evil qi is too strong, it will erode his dantian like the previous yin evil qi.

"There are seven days left, and at my rate of absorption, I can absorb another half a day at most, and I won't be able to absorb anymore. ”

Qiao Yuan opened his eyes and whispered to himself.

Looking at the death evil aura that permeated the surroundings, Qiao Yuan was a little reluctant to leave like this, after all, he left the Cold Flame Valley this time, and he didn't know when he would be able to come here again next time to absorb the death evil qi.

Just thinking about it, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Qiao Yuan's mind, his eyes flashed, and he said softly.

"I don't know if I can take this icicle away, if I can directly put it into the space bead, then I don't have to worry about not having a dead breath in the future. ”

Qiao Yuan's idea is not crazy, the frozen person in the icicle, it is impossible not to know the existence under the ravine, and now Qiao Yuan wants to take the icicle away at the door of the house, and if it is not handled well, it will anger the terrifying demon beast under the ravine.

"To do it or not to do it?"

Qiao Yuan fell into an extremely tangled hesitation, doing this, it was very likely to anger the demon beast, if he didn't do this, Qiao Yuan was extremely unwilling in his heart, and it was likely that he would not have the opportunity to absorb the death evil qi in the future.

Time passed in thought, and after a stick of incense, a trace of firmness flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, he knew that there were risks in doing anything, let alone this kind of opportunity once and for all.

He believed that even if this demon beast was angry, it would not really kill him, after all, he was the inheritor of the moon without a trace, and the slightest obsession of Meng Tai would not watch him die here.

"If you want to collect this icicle, you have to disperse the death aura near the icicle, otherwise it will be difficult for me to get close. ”

Qiao Yuan made a decision in his heart, so he began to think about how to get this icicle, and if he wanted to get this icicle, the first thing was to get close to this icicle safely, so he whispered to himself.

After speaking, he waved his right hand, and the Wind Abyss Sword appeared in his hand, wanting to take this icicle out of the ten thousand years of cold ice, the general power could not be shaken, Qiao Yuan had to use this Wind Abyss Sword.

Otherwise, the ice cave almost collapsed with the roar of the mysterious demon beast, but this icicle was not damaged in the slightest.

Getting ready, Qiao Yuan did not act immediately, but changed places and began to search for the icicles with the strongest death aura here.

The death aura emitted by the icicles comes from the people who are frozen inside, and the higher the cultivation of the frozen person before his death, the richer the death aura emitted, and not all the icicles that are frozen with people will emit the death aura.

An hour later, after Qiao Yuan observed all the icicles in this place, he found that there were three icicles that emitted the strongest deathly aura.

But there were two that were closer to the ravine, and he didn't have a choice, and finally chose the one that was farther away.

This icicle is about three zhang thick and more than seven zhang high, which is considered the largest icicle here, and there are two people frozen in this icicle.

These two are women, and their appearance is almost identical, it looks like they should be a pair of twin sisters, they sit cross-legged opposite each other, with a soft face, if it weren't for the extremely strong death aura exuded from the icicles, Qiao Yuan would have thought that these two people were still alive.

After choosing the icicles, Qiao Yuan had to make some more preparations.

Because this place is filled with a strong deathly aura, if you want to disperse the deadly aura near the icicles, you must first find a place to accommodate it, so that these deadly auras can have a place to go.

"This underground ice cave is full of death, and it is too difficult to dispel the deathly breath from here to another place, so I opened another cave to disperse the deathly breath there. ”

Qiao Yuan's eyes swept around, thought for a moment, and whispered to himself.

To open a cave, you can't make too much noise, otherwise it will inevitably alarm the mysterious demon beasts in the depths of the ravine, so Qiao Yuan can only use relatively gentle means to open up the cave.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan didn't think twice, and with a wave of his hand, three fiery red talismans appeared in his hand, all of which were fire talismans that could pose a threat to the Qi Refining Consummation Cultivator.

Qiao Yuan threw the three fire runes towards the top of the icicle, and suddenly the three fire runes exploded directly, turning into three huge fireballs.

The three fireballs quickly blended together, turning into a sea of fire more than ten zhang in size, heading towards the top of the icicle.

In an instant, the entire area of this underground ice cave was reflected like the sun by this sea of fire, and the ice blocks that were close to it began to show signs of melting.

And on the roof of the cave above the icicle, there were a large number of water droplets, but unfortunately these water droplets vaporized directly before they dripped down.

At the same time, in the depths of the underground ice cave, in the pitch-black ravine, a pair of blue eyes suddenly opened, which were filled with endless vicissitudes and monstrous cold.
