Chapter 5: The Frost Rime Fruit
In the past, Xu Qingfeng was respectful of the Shilijian formation, even if he knew that someone had died outside the formation, he never dared to check it, for fear of affecting himself, but tonight was not the same as before.
Xu Qingfeng came out of the ten-mile stream formation, carefully surrounded it from the outside, and slowly approached the place where the screams came out just now.
The two corpses were lying on the ground in front of the formation, one had been separated from its head, and the other was face down, and it was impossible to see where the injury was, but there was no sound to show it, and it seemed that it had been dead for a long time.
Xu Qingfeng waited for a while, and after finding that there was no danger, he walked out of the jungle and approached the two corpses to check.
First, he turned the face-down corpse over, and the hair was a bearded man, with a terrible hole in his chest, and blood was constantly flowing from it.
Seeing this, Xu Qingfeng began to grope around him to see if there was anything he could use.
The bearded man suddenly opened his eyes, threw Xu Qingfeng to the ground, grabbed Xu Qingfeng's neck with both hands and shouted, "Bring it." ”
Xu Qingfeng was almost out of breath, and said with difficulty: "What did you take?"
"Tokens, formation tokens. ”
Xu Qingfeng knew that this bearded man regarded himself as a disciple of Lingtai Cave, and hurriedly replied: "I don't have a token, you have found the wrong person." ”
The bearded man increased his strength in his hands and shouted frantically: "Bring it, bring it, if you don't bring it again, I will strangle you." ”
Xu Qingfeng was a little helpless, how could this guy identify himself as a disciple of Lingtai Cave, and coughed and asked, "...... Do you want a formation token...... What are you doing? ahem......"
"Frost rime fruit, I'm going to pick frost rime fruit. ”
Xu Qingfeng was a little crazy and scolded: "Ahem, you...... You're sick! There are so many frost rime fruits outside, you don't pick them, you have to go inside to pick them, and now you're injured like this, is it worth it?"
The bearded man was really crazy, and began to tear Xu Qingfeng's clothes, trying to find the so-called token from inside, but he kept yelling in his mouth: "You fart, the frost rime fruit outside can only be eaten as an ordinary spirit fruit, only the real frost rime fruit inside can live the dead with flesh and bones, it is a real elixir, and there is also a million-year-old earth marrow inside, one drop can be worth a hundred years of cultivation, ...... Bring it to ......."
The bearded man's voice became deeper and lower, and the movements of his hands became slower and slower, and after exhausting what little strength he had, he finally really died, and his body fell limply to the ground.
Xu Qingfeng turned over, and after searching the things on the two corpses again, he thought about it and dug a pit again, and buried the two corpses, after all, it is natural to take people's money and collect it for others.
There was not much money on the two corpses, except for two knives, it was a few dozen taels of silver, and a large number of jade boxes and jade bottles.
The jade bottle must have been used to hold the so-called earth marrow, but the jade box was not known to be used to hold anything, in fact, these were very secondary, the most important thing was the two messages that the bearded man heard from his mouth.
The most precious thing in the Ten Mile Stream is not the legendary cold spring, but the million-year-old earth marrow that I have never heard of, and the difference between the frost rime fruit, the outside is just an ordinary spirit fruit, but the real frost rime fruit inside is a panacea that can flesh and bones and live the dead, it is exciting to think about.
There are a lot of frost rime fruits in Shili Stream, and Xu Qingfeng has also eaten a lot, of course, it is the frost rime fruit outside the formation, and the frost rime fruit that can be used as a panacea in this formation has not been tasted yet.
After Xu Qingfeng re-entered the formation, he deliberately paid attention to the frost rime fruit on the tree, and found that except for the larger ones and different colors, he didn't feel any difference.
I can't help but be disappointed again, it's all false, outsiders say that the Ten Mile Stream Formation is a fairy wonderland, and outsiders say that the frost rime fruit in the formation can be used as a panacea, but what about the actual situation?
The jungle inside and outside the formation is the same, and the frost rime fruits inside and outside the formation are just different sizes and colors.
Xu Qingfeng no longer had any expectations, the thoughts in his heart had already changed, he just wanted to see if the environment ahead was suitable for habitation, the cave outside the formation not only had to guard against wild beasts, but also worried about being discovered, and now that he could enter and exit the formation freely, he would definitely have to move inside.
When he reached about seven miles, a silver brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Looking up, I was dumbfounded.
The trees are full of silver flowers, and the silver light is scorching.
The real frost rime fruit, this is the real frost rime fruit.
When the weather is cold, the frost and mist in the jungle will condense on the branches, forming a grand scene after the snow, and various beautiful shapes are like thousands of trees and pear blossoms.
The real frost rime fruit, just like the rime, has different shapes, but it is all silver and opaque, hanging on the tree, like a piece of ice and snow, emitting a trace of cold, no wonder it is named frost rime.
Now I finally know what those jade boxes are for, how can such a rare treasure of heaven and earth not be used to hold them.
Seven miles away, there was another formation, which just shrouded the real frost rime fruit in it, and this formation couldn't help Xu Qingfeng.
Enter the second formation, after walking the remaining three miles, there are mountains in front of them that rise abruptly, but if you look closely, there are mountains that are split from them, forming a line of sky, the mountains are thousands of feet high, covering an area of about ten miles, the mountains are full of silver brilliant frost rime fruits, and there are streams running through the foot of the mountains.
Ten miles of streams, ten miles of streams, not ten miles of formation, but ten miles of this mountain, there is a stream in the mountain.
As far as the eye can see, the whole world is silvery white, and the sun is blazing in the sky outside the array, but there is some cold air inside the array.
Xu Qingfeng has never experienced such a big mood fluctuation, from excitement to disappointment, and then from loss to surprise.
The marrow of the earth has never been seen for millions of years, but since it is called the marrow, it cannot appear on mountains and trees, and most likely in caves or springs underground.
The mountain stream is very small, crooked, and the strange rocks are craggy, which can only accommodate one person to walk, Xu Qingfeng focused his attention on the caves on both sides of the mountain stream and the springs below, but until the entire mountain stream was run, he did not find the marrow of the million-year-old earth.
Could it be a guess?
Two hours passed, and there was no trace of it.
There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it.
Xu Qingfeng has never been a greedy person, and his mother has also taught him not to be greedy since he was a child.
When he returned along the way, Xu Qingfeng had given up looking for the marrow of millions of years, but when he was about to get out of the mountain stream, he found a sunken mountain, hanging upside down with a bamboo shoot-like strange stone hanging upside down, and a smooth mountain stone below, like a stone platform for placing items, but there were no items placed on it.
Walking in, I found that this stone platform was cleverly dug a small hole, just enough to inlay a thumb-thick jade bottle into it, the jade bottle is facing the bamboo shoot-shaped strange stone tip above, at this time there is nothing dripping on the stone tip, but it can be concluded that this should be the marrow of the million-year-old earth.
With such an ingenious design, it is impossible to see the existence of a jade bottle from the outside, and I would not have thought that under the ordinary mountain body without any formation here, there would be the marrow of the millions of years.
Xu Qingfeng admired the exquisite design of the mechanism here, and at the same time, he couldn't wait to take out the jade bottle from the stone platform and look into the jade bottle.
Why not?
Xu Qingfeng looked at the empty jade bottle, there was nothing in it, and shook it vigorously with his hand a few times before finally believing that there was really nothing in the jade bottle.
It's really clean!
The people of Lingtai Cave are really good at doing things, setting up layers of formations outside, covering up here in every way, exquisite design, and finally even the time for the appearance of the marrow is carefully calculated, as long as the marrow appears, take it away immediately, and do not give those thieves who will almost never be able to enter the formation a chance.
Xu Qingfeng sighed secretly, turned the jade bottle upside down, and looked at the sunlight.
A trace of almost imperceptible transparent liquid slowly slides out of the bottle, slowly forming a pinhole-sized droplet, which hangs on the mouth of the bottle and falls to the ground at any time.
Xu Qingfeng was taken aback, there was still a trace of this marrow, but a trace of it was also a marrow!
No matter what it is, as long as it is old, it must be more precious, let alone millions of years.
Seeing that the pinhole-sized pulp fell off the mouth of the bottle, Xu Qingfeng opened his mouth without thinking about it and connected the slipped pulp into his mouth.
As soon as the marrow disappeared in the mouth, a cold suddenly rose in the chest, which exploded in the body, the abdomen began to expand like an inflat, and the limbs and bones also had a force surging, and it could be clearly seen that the skin was wavy and wriggling, as if something was about to break out of the skin, but there was a visible frost outside the body, which spread rapidly to the whole body, as if to freeze the whole person.
Xu Qingfeng knew that once the whole body was frozen, the power in the body would not be able to pour out, and then the whole person would be supported by the power in the body and exploded.
You must not stop now, and you can only survive by constantly exercising.
Xu Qingfeng quickly ran out of the mountain stream, came to the open space outside and punched quickly, increasing the speed of punching to the extreme, he used to be able to punch fifty punches per breath, but now after the speed is increased, it can reach one hundred punches, but the strength of the body can't keep up with the speed, not only the wrists and elbows have a dislocated feeling, but also the skin begins to have a slight crack, faint bloodshot out.
Despite this, the body can clearly feel that it is slowing down, it is becoming stiffer, and the frost outside the body has begun to condense, and it is about to form ice cubes that will cover the whole body.
Xu Qingfeng, who was in a hurry, slammed his body towards the mountain peak next to him.
One time, two times...... , hundreds...... , a thousand ......
Xu Qingfeng desperately hit the mountain, and when his body began to soften a little, he turned around and waved his stiff arm to punch.
One punch, two punches...... , Hundred Punches...... , Thousand Punches......
I don't know how many times I punched, I don't know how many times I hit the mountain, and I don't know how long it took before Xu Qingfeng finally stopped, and fell to the ground softly, his whole body was soaked in blood.
