"Where are you from? What do you want to do?"
The giant clam on the stone platform asked two questions, and the ice dragon casually said: "I came from outside with my companions, looking for the treasures left by the ancient races. As for what to do, you should have been clear just now, right? That's it. I want those ice soul beads."
"Of course, if you don't want to give it, just say it. Master Jiao is not an unreasonable master. He just won't take it from you."
"Well, it turns out I just want these beads that exude a cold aura." The giant clam was a little surprised when he heard what the ice dragon said.
It paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's not impossible. After all, I'm not an ice beast. It's useless to ask for these cold beads. It's just that they have been mixed with my flesh and blood for many years, and now they have adhered to each other. It’s all together, I can’t spit it out to you.”
"Uh, is that true?" After hearing this, Bingjiao asked casually: "When did you get these Ice Soul Beads?"
"Are they called Ice Soul Pearls? Now that you have told me, I know the name of these beads." The giant clam said, "That happened a long time ago, and it has been so long that I have almost forgotten it..."
According to the giant clam, it was living peacefully in this area of water back then. Suddenly, a few beads fell into the pond, sank to the bottom, and then fell into the clam shell.
From that moment on, a few beads began to "take root and settle" in the giant clam.
At first, there seemed to be only two large ice soul beads. Later, three smaller ones split into three. However, these ice soul beads did not bring any benefit to the giant clam. Instead, it suffered from the cold air cutting its flesh and blood all the time. The pain is very distressing.
But time is the best medicine to make pain ineffective. Hundreds and thousands of years have gradually passed, and the cold energy released by the Ice Soul Pearl has also continued to cause less damage to the giant clam. Time has begun to spread. In the past, it might hurt once every few days, but now It has become a habit of coming only once every few months.
"I see, you accidentally let the Ice Soul Bead fall into your body, and then you have been affected by the cold air for many years." The ice dragon thought for a while, and then asked: "You said that the Ice Soul Bead released the cold air and hurt you. It’s slowed down a lot, is that true?”
"Indeed." The giant clam replied: "At first, the cold air made me feel unbearable pain. It was only in the past few hundred years that it gradually slowed down."
"Then you should be lucky to meet me at this time."
The ice dragon said in a deep voice: "Because the cold damage to your flesh and blood has actually been getting worse. It's just that you have become able to withstand the pain and pain and have become dull. If you don't take out the ice soul beads, you will Sooner or later, he will die a miserable death in pain."
"What?!"
Hearing what the ice dragon said was so serious, the giant clam was startled and asked hurriedly: "Is it true?" "Of course it is true. If you don't believe it, open the clam shell and I will show it to you." look."
"Huh!" The giant clam didn't doubt that this was true, and immediately opened the clam shell completely. The ice dragon then came closer, stretched out its claws and lightly touched a piece of clam meat near the ice soul bead, and then asked : "Does it hurt here?"
"Uh... I only felt a slight shock, not painful."
"Well, from my point of view, your flesh and blood has frozen into a purple color and turned into a piece of necrotic flesh."
The ice dragon sighed and continued: "The reason why you feel that the pain caused by the cold air has weakened is because you are used to the degree of erosion. In fact, the hidden injuries are more serious."
"Listening to what you said, it seems to be the case." The giant clam looked very panicked and asked: "What should we do?"
"It's very simple. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. This piece of frozen bad meat should be cut out together with the ice soul beads. In this way, you can avoid being attacked by the cold again."
"If this is the case, wouldn't it hurt?"
"It's quite painful when the flesh and blood is cut off, but like I said, it's much better to only hurt once than to suffer continuously and eventually die of pain, isn't it?"
At this moment, Bingjiao began to persuade: "I'm not trying to scare you. If you want to survive, cutting out the flesh to save yourself is probably the only way to go."
"In that case, are you willing to help me? After all, I can't cut the flesh myself."
"No problem, I also want to get the Ice Soul Bead. I can save your life by the way, which is not bad." Bingjiao said: "Don't worry, I will try my best to be as quick as possible, and then use spiritual energy to heal your wounds."
"Then please."
"You hold the clam shell steady, I'm going to take action!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Too late, but not too long, the sharp claws of the one-horned ice dragon suddenly brushed against the flesh and blood in the shell, grabbing the piece of frozen meat and a few ice soul beads in its claws.
"Bing Jiao, are you okay? I'm still waiting." At this moment, the giant clam spoke, and Bing Jiao smiled: "No, I have already cut off the flesh, don't you feel it?"
"Really? I really don't feel it." The giant clam listened to what it said, and then continued: "Maybe you are right. I have no longer felt the pain about that piece of meat, and now it is just right to remove it."
"I will use spiritual energy to heal your wounds." After saying that, the ice dragon released a trace of mysterious spiritual energy to cover the area where the opponent's flesh and blood were missing. The giant clam said: "This breath is very comfortable. What kind of spiritual energy is it?"
"It's the Ice Mysterious Spiritual Energy. Maybe it's because you've been with the Ice Soul Bead for too long, so you absorbed my cold Mysterious Spiritual Energy very quickly." Bingjiao said, "But don't worry, these Mysterious Spiritual Energy have been absorbed by I adjusted the coldness and it won’t do you any harm.”
"If you say so, thank you very much." The giant clam said: "You have cured my hidden troubles for many years. I will take those beads as a thank you gift. Please be sure to accept it."
"Hahaha, it's just what I want, so I'll accept it." The ice dragon laughed a few times, and then said: "Giant clam, take care of yourself, I'm leaving."
"Okay, I wish you good luck." When the ice dragon said goodbye to the other party, the giant clam suddenly said: "By the way, there is one more thing. When you came to Shitai, did you see a group of small fish? "
"I saw it. Those guys were very ferocious. They ate up a fat evil beast." The ice dragon said.
"Hehehe, those guys are named 'Bishui Hanrui', and I gave them this name."
The giant clam said: "They are attracted by the breath released by the Ice Soul Pearl. They are small aquariums that like the cold air. If you want to adopt them, you only need to use your own cold air to make them obsessed and hard to leave."
"The Bishui Hanji seems to be quite ferocious. If you can tame it, it will be a useful helper. Okay, I'll give it a try." Nodding, the one-horned ice dragon shook its head and tail, and returned to the stone with the sound of water separation. Offstage.
At this moment, it saw that the blue-water scorpions that it had previously frozen with cold air had eaten the ice that had frozen it, and were swimming back and forth there, refusing to leave.
