Chapter 44: The Cave of Ice
Chapter 44: The Cave of Ice
"Are the others back?" Zheng Feng asked, standing in the courtyard of Qingfeng Pavilion, which was empty, with only two disciples in the early stage of Qi cultivation guarding here.
"Your team was the first to come back, plus you, senior brother, there are a total of seven people registered, and there are three other teams that have not returned. One of the disciples replied respectfully.
Zheng Feng nodded, he already knew in his heart that the damage on this mission would definitely be very serious, exactly the same as the situation in his previous life.
After returning to the residence, he saw Xiao Nian sitting on the steps in a daze, and told her that there was nothing important to do and not to disturb him, so he returned to the bedroom.
In vigilance, the divine consciousness was released and swept around, and no abnormality was found, and the red-eyed wild pig was placed outside to warn, and he began to meditate with peace of mind to recover his spiritual power.
"It's too unsafe to have time to prepare a simple formation. Zheng Feng secretly thought in his heart, there is no sound insulation protection effect around, and it is easy to be attacked by people when meditating.
The sun slowly rose, Zheng Feng opened his eyes, the aura on his body had stabilized, and his divine sense sensed that Xiao Nian was walking back and forth anxiously outside the door, but he didn't dare to knock on the door to disturb him.
"Come in!" Xiao Nian outside the door, Zheng Feng's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he hurriedly walked in.
"What's the matter?" Zheng Feng got up and tidied up his clothes and looked at Xiao Nian.
Xiao Nian lowered his head and said softly: "Someone came to inform the upper and lower levels just now, now go to Qingfeng Pavilion to gather." ”
When I came to the hall of Qingfeng Pavilion again, I saw that everyone inside was not in good spirits, their faces were pale, and some of the disciples' clothes were still stained with blood, as if they had just returned.
"Alright, all the people should have arrived, and I'll announce the results of this battle. Jiang Zhong stood at the top, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression was a little serious.
Zheng Feng looked around and found that many seats were empty, almost a third of them were missing. Even Luo Feng, who was at the top, sat on the chair with a depressed expression, and his breath seemed a little chaotic.
"In this night attack, the objectives of each team have basically been completed, and the remaining wolf demons no longer pose a threat. Jiang Zhong read out the statistical data.
Not every squad completed the mission, and some had to end the mission early because of heavy losses. And because the information prompted on the jade slip was not very accurate before, some teams fell into the encirclement of the wolf demon instead.
There were seventy-three people when the mission came, but now there are only forty people left, and thirty-three people have died. Most of them were disciples in the early stage of Qi cultivation, and there were also three disciples in the middle stage of Qi training.
"Everyone went back to rest, and we returned to the sect in five days. Jiang Zhong said.
Luo Feng's face was not very good, as if he was slightly injured, he stood up, and two rows of servants held a small cloth bag in their hands and placed it in front of everyone.
"Thanks to the help of all the brothers and sisters this time, a little caution can be regarded as making up for everyone's loss. Luo Feng hugged his fists at the people below, and then turned to leave.
Zheng Feng walked back again, and saw that the disciples had very heavy faces, and there was a small cloth bag in their hands, which contained a hundred lower-grade spirit stones.
Back in the secret room, he took out a small jade bottle, which contained the four spiritual patterns of the Chiyang Pill.
After swallowing one, the medicinal power was twice that of the Vanpin Pill, and the Chiyang Pill turned into a stream of fiery energy, which split into two strands in the veins.
Most of it turned into pure spiritual power, flowing into the dantian, and fused with its own spiritual power. A small part of it scattered into the flesh and bones, slowly strengthening the body.
Time passed minute by minute, and the day passed slowly, and this four-way spirit pattern ground grade Chiyang Pill took longer than the previous ordinary grade Chiyang Pill refining time.
However, the effect is also much better, before refining a mortal Chiyang Pill, it is almost equivalent to a month of penance, and now refining a mortal spirit pill is equivalent to two months of penance.
Zheng Feng felt that the spiritual power in his body had grown again, and if there was a continuous supply of Chiyang Pill, it was estimated that he would be able to reach the peak of the late stage of Qi cultivation in a few months, and then he would be able to consider the matter of building a foundation.
This is the reason why the monk pursues the elixir so much, but taking the elixir to enhance cultivation for a long time will cause the spiritual power in the body to be too messy and not pure enough, and it will increase great difficulty when breaking through the great realm.
However, Zheng Feng has the existence of the Octagonal Broken Pagoda in his body, and every once in a while, he purifies the spiritual power in his body, and it can be said that the purity of the spiritual power in his body now can be compared to that of a monk who practices qi and consummation.
In this way, another two days passed, and as soon as Zheng Feng stopped, he found that the red-eyed wild pig was humming outside.
got up and went to the courtyard to find the red-eyed wild pig confronting a man in Tsing Yi.
"Come back!" Zheng Feng's sleeves flicked, and the red-eyed wild pig turned into a white light and returned to the spirit beast bag.
"Brother Zheng, your taste is really unique. Ouyang Qing glanced at the red-eyed wild pig that had disappeared, and said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Ouyang came to visit late at night, is there anything wrong?" Zheng Feng asked suspiciously.
Ouyang Qing looked around, and then said cautiously: "I am also entrusted by others, it seems that the three senior brothers Jiang Zhong have come to us to discuss something. ”
"Is it finally here?" Zheng Feng thought secretly in his heart, he had been waiting for this matter to come for the past few days, but he didn't expect that he had also received an invitation.
In his previous life, he only had the cultivation of the early stage of Qi cultivation, and he didn't receive an invitation, but after this mission, someone revealed the rumors, so he knew about it.
Zheng Feng followed Ouyang Qing to Luo Feng's residence, which was a tall building, made of white marble, and when he entered it, he found nine figures sitting in the hall.
Liu Shan and Jiang Zhong sat at the top, next to them sat Li Hai and Ning Hu, on the other side he saw Tang Ming, and two strange late stage Qi cultivation cultivators, and at the back sat three disciples in the middle stage of Qi training, Duan Wuchang was also inside.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's explain it to Brother Luo. Jiang Zhong glanced at everyone and said slowly.
Luo Feng stood up, glanced around at everyone, and said: "The ten of you are the strongest in this group of people, which is why the three of us chose you, let's make it clear first, we will go to a very dangerous place this time, if anyone is willing to quit now, they can stand up, and they can leave now." ”
Everyone was still a little confused, and before they could react for a while, they all muttered to themselves for a few seconds. A moment later, a middle-aged man in the middle of Qi cultivation stood up and chose to leave.
Luo Feng didn't embarrass him, ordered someone to take him away from here, and then spoke again: "Very good, it seems that you are all willing to stay, and the next thing I want to talk about is what you have to do this time." ”
"I know you must have a question, that is, why there is a wolf tide, in fact, I don't know the specific reason, but I can roughly guess that there is something that attracts wolf demons on Tiangu Peak. Luo Feng slowly analyzed.
"What is it?" asked Ouyang Qing.
"I don't know exactly what it is, but the wolf tide appeared half a month ago, and half a month ago we dug a hole in the ice in the underground mine. Luo Feng saw a look of surprise in everyone's eyes, and then said.
"After that cold ice cave appeared, the cold air inside spread, and mortals couldn't enter it at all, I once sent several disciples in the early stage of qi cultivation into it, and there was no news. ”
"So there's a great danger hidden inside, and we don't know anything about it?" asked Lehi on the side.
"No!" Jiang Zhong denied: "The appearance of the Ice Cave has attracted a wolf tide, indicating that there must be treasures hidden in it. ”
"If you find a treasure, how will you distribute it?" Lehi looked at the three foundation-building monks warily.
Liu Shan, who was silent on the side, said: "You can rest assured about this, if you find a treasure, the three of us will give priority to the choice, the three of us will each occupy two percent, and the remaining four percent will belong to you." If there is only one treasure, we can pay you the equivalent spirit stone. ”
Everyone nodded, feeling that it was a matter of course, it was the principle of heaven that the law of the jungle was the law of the jungle, and everyone did not feel that it was inappropriate.
"We want to be one!" Li Hai and Ning Hu stood together and said to the other seven monks.
In this way, Zheng Feng and the other six people shared thirty percent, and he didn't have any opinion, because he knew what kind of danger existed in that ice cave, and at least half of the people in it would die.
The opinions of everyone were quickly agreed, and Luo Feng took everyone to a basement and opened a hidden mechanism, revealing a long and narrow passage.
"This passage leads directly to the veins at the bottom of the mountain, and we can go directly from here. Luo Feng explained, and walked in front to lead the way.
For almost a quarter of an hour, everyone followed Luo Feng through a twisting tunnel and came to a slightly empty underground stone hall.
The stone hall was filled with all kinds of shovels and other tools on both sides, presumably tools used by miners to dig up the raw ore of spirit stones.
"Here, the icy hole is in the deepest part of the vein. Luo Feng turned back to everyone and said, entering a tunnel again.
After that, he passed through several artificial tunnels again, because of the mining of spirit stones, the underground of Tiangu Peak was full of tunnels, and they were dug in all directions, like a huge spider web. If there is no one to guide you, there is a good chance that you will get lost inside.
Zheng Feng followed the crowd as he surveyed his surroundings, taking some iconic items in his mind and planning for what would happen in the future.
"It's almost there, just ahead. Luo Feng reminded loudly.
Everyone stopped in front of a wide underground tunnel, and the white frost rose inside, and an icy cold air filled it, and even if you stood at the entrance of the cave, you could feel the biting cold.
"This is a natural cave, and there should be ice-attribute treasures in it, otherwise it would be impossible to emit so much frost. Liu Shan stepped forward to inspect it, and then came to a conclusion.
Everyone's faces showed joy, looking at this might, the treasures inside must be extraordinary, even if they can only get a spirit stone, it is also very considerable.
Zheng Feng looked at everyone's faces slightly, and sneered in his heart, greed will always make people forget the hidden danger.
"Everyone, be careful, get ready to go in!" Liu Shan reminded as he spoke, and walked inside.
As soon as Zheng Feng stepped into it, he felt a piercing cold attack, and the spiritual power in his body worked slightly, forcing the cold qi out of his body.
However, the strong body manifested itself at this time, and even if it did not use spiritual power, it could resist this level of cold.
Some of them released the aura of body protection, some of them exuded the light of magic weapons, and the weakest ones present were all in the middle stage of Qi training, which could still be stopped.
