Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Cold Forest
It turned out that Lu Xiaocheng and the others wanted to go to a place called the Cold Forest in the Casting Heaven Mountain Range, Kang Yi still knew a little about this place, this place was one of the dangerous places in the Casting Heaven Mountain Range, and then traveled about four or five days from Chaoyang Sect to the Casting Heaven Mountain Range, located in an inconspicuous mountain col, this mountain col is about a hundred miles in radius, this hundred miles sounds quite wide, but in fact, it is just a drop in the bucket for the entire Casting Heaven Mountain Range.

The cold forest was just an ordinary place more than a thousand years ago, and it was not the name, and no one knew what the specific name was, but suddenly one day a waterhole at the bottom of this mountain col shone directly with white light, which could be seen thousands of miles away, and there were rumors of the appearance of a strange treasure for a while, and then the monks regardless of the level of cultivation rushed inside, and this white light lasted for a month, and then disappeared inexplicably.
After the white light disappeared, there was a cold air in the waterhole, a strange cold breath, ordinary monks could not resist it at all, but fortunately, the cold air was extended outward step by step, and it did not hurt a few people, and the cold air extended outward to a radius of nearly a hundred miles, and it gradually eased.
Afterwards, everyone found out that only the monks of the Jindan stage can rely on the Dan fire protection in the body to enter, and the monks below the Jindan stage will have difficulty in blood flow after a while.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and this strange cold place will drop sharply at the time of the full moon, and ordinary monks can enter.
At that time, although it was rumored that there was a strange treasure in the world, I had never heard of anyone who had found this thing, and there was nothing valuable in it, so there were fewer people who went in, and it had been in the natural development for more than 1,000 years, and a lot of cold-loving things had been accumulated, and the white-haired centipede found by these two people was one of them.
Li Xiaocheng and the two went into the cold forest to complete a task when the moon was full, and happened to find that there were traces of white-haired centipedes on an open sandy ground, and the two did not bring tools to catch white-haired centipedes at that time, so they planned to catch them again when the moon was full, but as soon as the two walked out of the open area, they were blocked by the wind wolf who returned from predation, and the two were able to escape after a lot of fighting.
Kang Yi listened for a while and knew the approximate reason, this white-haired centipede is a kind of demon beast the size of a little finger, weak in strength, likes extremely cold places, can be used for soaking in wine, wipe the body with the wine soaked in the white-haired centipede for a long time, and the general lower-level spells can be directly resisted by the body, a white-haired centipede is worth between twenty spirit stones and twenty-five spirit stones, but this centipede is very difficult to find, I have to say that the two are extremely lucky
And the wind wolf is the most common kind of demon beast in the cold forest, the strength of an adult wind wolf is almost between the fifth and sixth level monks, but this wolf lives in groups, and these two people find themselves, I am afraid that they want to use the land escape technique to bypass the territory of the wind wolf, and not fight with the wind wolf head-on.
As for why you have to go underground instead of flying over, it is because the cold fog in the cold forest does not disperse all year round, and the visibility is extremely low, and it is easy to get lost when flying in the sky.
"Please also ask Senior Brother Kang to think about it, no matter whether we succeed or fail this time, we will pay five spirit stones first, if we succeed, we will give our junior brother twenty-five spirit stones, or the junior brother will give priority to choosing a white-haired centipede, during which the junior brother does not have to do anything else, only responsible for taking us through the territory of the wind wolf, and then come back" Then Xing Rui saw that her husband had finished saying everything, and hurriedly added things such as remuneration.
"It's still the beginning of the month, we are not in a hurry, and the junior brother does not need to reply to us in a hurry, you can go back and think about it first and then come and tell us, but please come and tell us as soon as possible, so that we can make plans again" Chen Xiaocheng said when he saw Kang Yi's hesitant look.
"Okay, then I'll go back and think about it for one night, and I'll give you two answers tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow at the latest" Kang Yi heard Chen Xiaocheng say this, and naturally replied happily.
Later, Chen Xiaocheng and his wife sent away Kang Yi and Liao Yuan, who were wandering outside, and the two turned around and went back to the cave.
And Liao Yuan saw Kang Yi's brows tightened, and he didn't ask anything, and after a while, the two of them separated, and each went back to his own cave.
Kang Yi, who returned to the cave mansion, combed through the words of the two again, thinking that the two did not ask themselves to keep it secret, it seems that the two are not afraid of leaking their secrets at all, presumably that place must be a place that is not easy to find or unnoticeable, and why ask someone to find a monk of earth escape instead of going to the Hall of Merit to issue tasks, and the remuneration given by the two is not low at all, which is enough to attract many qualified monks.
On the second day, Kang Yi went to the residence of Chen Xiaocheng and his wife to inform him of his decision after careful consideration - he was willing to participate in the operation.
When Chen Xiaocheng and his wife heard this, they immediately gave Kang Yi the five spirit stones they had agreed in advance, and after making an appointment with the time and place of meeting, Kang Yi left.
Kang Yi thought about it for a long time last night and didn't understand that doubt, so he simply didn't want to go, anyway, if something happened to Kang Yi this time, these two would definitely be investigated by the sect, and there would be nothing worth these two people to look at again, and I believe that the two of them would not make any unfavorable moves to themselves.
When he returned to the Cave Mansion, Kangyi didn't need to do any preparations, he just needed to practice with peace of mind, and strive to be promoted to the fifth level of qi cultivation before this mission.
Time flies, it is the appointed time, and it does not achieve the expected result, Kang Yi went out of the cave and looked at the first quarter moon hanging in the sky, and after determining the time, he posted a note in the cave, which wrote the details of the mission, and then rushed to the appointed place.
Kang Yi flew south after leaving the sect, and after more than a day's work, he arrived at the edge of a small town, saying that the town was actually similar to a village. Kang Yi dressed up a little on the edge of the town.
At this time, in the middle of the day, farmers returning from the town with farm tools abounded, and the town ushered in a man with a beard and a shirtless body, and a big knife on his shoulder, and the long scar on his face was shocking.
The big man arrogantly walked from the entrance of the town to the only restaurant in the town, and a few simple farmers in the restaurant saw this fierce man coming in, and hurriedly paid for the wine one by one and walked out quickly.
The shopkeeper's Xiao Er also served this uncle tremblingly, and this uncle sat here all afternoon, which made the old man of the shopkeeper bitter, so that since this fierce man entered the door, no other customers dared to enter the door again. As for going up and blasting away Lord Yan, that was something that the old man of the shopkeeper couldn't think of, so he had to stand behind the counter with a gloomy expression, looking at this person and leaving quickly.
"The old shopkeeper will bring me another bottle of Fangcai's wine" A voice came again, and the old shopkeeper hurriedly glanced at the guy on the side, and soon sent another bottle of wine.
The old man of the shopkeeper was also puzzled, this person drank the wine here all afternoon, or the strongest wine in the store, but he didn't see any discomfort in the other party, you must know that ordinary people only dare to drink one or two glasses of this wine, and if they drink more, they will have to crawl back.
Just when the shopkeeper was puzzled, two more people came in the door, which surprised the shopkeeper a little so much that he took a second look.
The man was upright, dressed in a green shirt with a three-foot sword at his waist, and the woman had a good face, far better than any woman in the town, dressed in plain clothes, but without any weapons.
The two of them looked at the hall a few times, and finally stopped at the fierce man, and the two of them also walked straight over.
The old man of the shopkeeper looked at the three of them as if they were acquaintances, and when they sat down at a table, they began to chat, but they didn't know what they were talking about, and they didn't dare to know it.
Soon after the two men entered, they took the big man out, which made the old man breathe a sigh of relief, and he did not dare to ask for money for the drink. But when he looked closely at the bowl that the big man used to drink, there was a glimmer of golden light, and after looking outside the door to make sure that the person had gone away, he dared to go up to check, and a grain of gold the size of a thumb was thrown into the wine bowl, which made the old man of the shopkeeper happy.
