"It's so cold!"
Only when he really entered the ground did Mo Juren feel the difference here. It turned out to be an extremely hard frozen soil layer. It was filled with endless cold air, and even he felt a hint of coldness.
Monks have magical power to protect their bodies, various magical weapons, magic weapons, etc., so they are naturally not afraid of cold or heat. As for himself, in addition to the above, his physical body has evolved many times, and his resistance to cold and heat has long reached an extremely high level. However, he can still feel the cold at this time, which shows how harsh the environment here is.
As he continued to go deeper, the cold became more and more terrifying. When he advanced to about a thousand feet, he could no longer hold on with only his physical body.
That is to say, he is not only physically powerful, but also has strong magic power. He is also proficient in the art of earth escape, so he can be so calm.
If it were other monks in the alchemy stage, if they could come down, they would have no choice but to use magic weapons to resist. In the increasingly harsh environment here, the consumption would definitely be huge, and it would be difficult to stay for too long.
"How deep is this extremely mysterious ice eye?" Mo Juren, who stood still, looked at the seemingly endless frozen soil below, and could not help but frown slightly. What he is looking for is the true source of the cold air in the crack. Even if there is a treasure, it must come from there. However, it seems that it is not that simple now. Then I thought about it again, and it made sense. If it was really that easy, I'm afraid it wouldn't be his turn.
Thinking of this, he flipped his palm and a fiery red ball the size of a fist emerged. This is a red fire bead. It was obtained from the body of a level six fire-attribute monster lava lion when it was killed. It is an extremely rare fire-attribute treasure.
The red fire bead contains huge fire energy. As soon as Fang took it out, the surrounding space instantly became hot.
Mo Juren did not hesitate, and immediately made a simple hollow metal necklace, put the red fire beads into it, and then wore it directly on his chest. After thinking about it, he took out the skin of the lava lion again, and after a while, a simple coat was made. Although it is not as good as the Red Fire Pearl, it is still an extremely rare thing to protect against the cold, so I immediately put it on my body.
After preparations were completed, without any further hesitation, he used his Earth Escape Technique and continued moving forward. This time it went deeper for nearly a thousand feet again, and finally reached the end. The crack below was only a few feet in size, but the pure cold air was extremely rich.
Without hesitation, he immediately passed through the crack. After actually entering the crack, Mo Juren finally saw clearly what the source of the pure cold air was. It turned out to be a rare black ice vein. The reserve is not large, and under the induction of his spiritual consciousness, the range should be less than ten miles.
No wonder there is so much pure cold air spitting out. It turns out that the source comes from here.
It is a pity that although Xuan Bing is an extremely rare ice attribute spiritual material, it is difficult to compare with Xuan Jade. Only the latter is what Mo Juren needs.
However, he did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, he directly summoned the Green Sword and slashed at the mineral vein below. Suddenly, a piece of black ice the size of a fist fell and was quickly taken into his palm.
"The age of this Xuan Bing mineral vein seems to be quite old. It is at least a thousand years old. Could Xuan Jade be derived from the depths?" Mo Juren thought to himself as he groped for the Xuan Bing in his hand.
This possibility exists, but it is smaller. After all, the Xuanbing mineral vein here is really not big.
Of course, even though the possibility is lower, Mo Juren has no reason to let it go. There is always a chance in everything, and he will never be reconciled without investigating.
He did not hesitate and immediately used the Green Sword to dig towards the center of the vein.
The process was quite easy, and the Xuan Bing was not wasted after being cut, and was all put into the storage bag. Xuan Bing is a relatively rare spiritual material, and it is at the thousand-year level, so its value is not low. If you take it back and sell it, it will be a large sum of spiritual stones. Especially deep in the veins, the age will definitely be higher. It would be a pity to miss it.
Time passed slowly, and with continued excavation, a tunnel with a diameter of one foot and a length of nearly one mile emerged.
Unlike before, where he was slightly disappointed, Mo Juren's eyes now revealed a look of surprise that was difficult to conceal.
Xuanyu, there really is!
At this time, an area in front of his sight was a piece of legendary mysterious jade. It is small in size, only the size of an adult's fist, and its whole body exudes a white brilliance.
Despite this, Mo Juren's joy could no longer be concealed. Just such a piece is enough for him to refine two to three 'Ice Soul Xuanjing Swords'.
You must know that Xuanyu, a special material, is almost a legend in the spiritual world. Even if there is a spiritual stone, it is extremely difficult to buy. He had been wondering how to get it, but he didn't expect to find it here.
This was really an unexpected surprise, and he couldn't help but feel lucky that he had made a special trip, otherwise wouldn't he have missed the opportunity?
With a slight thought in his mind, the green sword appeared in his hand. He couldn't wait to take off the mysterious jade in front of him, and then he observed it carefully.
Although it is genuine xuan jade, its age is not very high, it is estimated to be only about a hundred years old. However, it is enough for Mo Juren. The natal magic weapon is capable of growth, so just take your time.
Putting Xuan Yu away carefully, he looked around again. This is already the core area of the mine, and the black ice nearby has reached the level of thousands of years.
This was a considerable amount of wealth, and he almost immediately made a decision in his mind to take it all back. Selling spiritual stones is the next best thing. The key is the pure cold energy contained in the black ice. With his 'sword education', he can fully utilize it.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately started digging with the Green Sword.
About half an hour later, the core area had been dug into a huge ice cave, and all the high-quality black ice in it had been mined out.
Satisfied, he was already planning to stop. It wasn't that he looked down on Xuan Bing in the peripheral area, but simply because he didn't have much space left in his storage bag. He also wanted to leave some storage space for other uses, and that was all he could do for the time being.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly seemed to sense something and suddenly looked towards the side of the ice cave. Just at that moment, he seemed to hear something coming from inside.
what? Mo Juren was startled for a moment. You must know that although his consciousness did not actively release it, any abnormality within a certain range could not be hidden from him through just passive detection.
Could it be that I heard it wrong? Mo Juren thought for a while, and then used the green sword to slash directly towards the ice wall on one side. However, the moment a huge piece of black ice was cut down by him, a scene that shocked him was revealed.
Inside the ice wall, there was actually the head of an unknown monster lying down. It was more than a foot long and wide, flat, with two tentacles about ten feet long growing at the top.
"Level 5 monster!" Mo Juren was extremely surprised. This centipede-like but completely transparent insect-like monster actually reached level 5. What's even more surprising is that the other party seems to have the ability to block spiritual consciousness, and he didn't even notice it after entering the ice cave for so long.
What kind of monster is this? Actually sleeping in the ice? Or is it hibernating?
After thinking for a moment, he had no clue. Even the jade slips given by Ling Yuling seemed to have no record.
Maybe it was because of his extensive excavation of Xuan Bing that he alerted it.
It has to be said that this is an unexpected surprise. Level 5 spiritual insect monsters, whether they are demon elixirs or spiritual materials, are extremely valuable, so there is no reason to let them go.
Looking at the giant centipede that has gradually awakened and its two tentacles are constantly turning. Mo Juren did not hesitate, and immediately swung the green sword and slashed directly towards the opponent's neck.
Something unexpected happened. The moment the sword edge slashed down, there was only a harsh friction sound, leaving only a white mark on its transparent back.
"This..." Mo Juren was extremely surprised. Although the Green Sword was of poor quality, it was still a magic weapon. It couldn't break through the opponent's armor. Is its defensive power so strong?
At this time, the unknown centipede monster was completely awakened and jumped out of the ice.
Mo Juren didn't panic. It was just a level five monster. No matter how strong it was, it had its limits. He had to use the Green Brilliance Sword to face the enemy again. However, before he could make any move, he suddenly discovered that the large ice wall in front of him began to break apart one after another, and no fewer than five or six identical centipede-like monsters broke out of the ice one after another.
When he saw one of the giant centipedes, which was more than ten feet long, his expression suddenly changed drastically. Without any hesitation, he turned into a green rainbow and fled towards the passage at high speed.
"I'm going to kill him, it turned out to be a level 7 monster!" Mo Juren, who was running away like crazy, just wanted to curse people and dig up some mysterious ice, but to meet a level 7 monster, no one was lucky enough. Moreover, these monsters were all in one den, with several of the smaller ones reaching level five, and the strongest one reaching level seven.
Faced with such a combination, he would not dare to stay. Running away was a wise choice.
The six giant centipedes that were awakened were obviously very vindictive. In addition, they may have been hungry for a long time. How could they let them go so easily when faced with the food that was brought to their mouths. Therefore, under the leadership of Mrs. Centipede, they pursued madly towards the passage.
It has to be said that the speed of these unknown centipede beasts was far beyond expectations. Mo Juren had just rushed out of the passage when he heard the movement from behind.
With a shock in his heart, he immediately used the earth escape technique, drilled directly into the frozen soil, and then quickly escaped upwards.
At this time, he just breathed a sigh of relief. These unknown centipedes were obviously ice-type monsters at a glance. They couldn't be capable of earth escape, right? However, before he could be happy for too long, he suddenly saw an incredible scene.
These unknown centipedes do not know how to escape from the earth, but they can directly dig holes. Hundreds of giant feet were like hundreds of indestructible ice knives, drilling straight into the soil. That speed is not much slower than his Earth Escape Technique.
Damn...
Mo Juren couldn't help but curse and continued to escape towards the top of the island. At the same time, he was running the breath gathering technique at an extremely fast speed to completely hide his spiritual power fluctuations.
Sure enough, without the sense of spiritual power and breath, the giant centipede behind him suddenly slowed down. While it was digging holes to pursue, its two tentacles kept shaking, apparently sensing something.
etc!
Just after escaping for a certain distance, Mo Juren suddenly stopped. He turned around and glanced at the giant centipede not far behind him. He vaguely thought of something, and a strange color suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, he raised his hand and fired a fireball, and then continued to 'escape' upwards. Unlike before, his speed was obviously much slower at this time.
The fireball technique was naturally not very powerful, but it directly exposed a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation, which was instantly captured by the giant centipede. Its speed suddenly increased and it continued to pursue in the direction of the spiritual power fluctuations.
The process after that was a bit strange. Mo Juren fired a fireball at intervals, constantly guiding the giant centipede behind him to continue chasing until it gradually approached the ground.
…
On the island, some monks were flying around searching for treasures.
Because it took too long, most of the area had been raided, so it was naturally impossible to gain much. However, after finally coming here, you have to search carefully.
However, while many monks were searching for each other, they seemed to suddenly feel something, and they were all stunned for a moment. At the moment just now, there seemed to be unknown airflow fluctuations?
The outer areas were fine, mainly on the central island, where the monks all turned their heads to look at a certain area. That was where the Ji Xuan Ice Eye was, and at this time, there seemed to be a subtle change.
"What's going on? Is there something unexpected, or is a strange treasure born?" A certain monk in the early stage of pill formation suddenly spoke in a white robe, with a trace of unconcealable greed in his eyes, and turned to look beside him. , there is a pill-forming monk in black robe, but he has already reached the middle stage. His face was very similar to the former one, and his whole body exuded a strong murderous aura.
"What do you think, brother?"
"I don't know, but it will be clear if I go and take a look in person." The other party shook his head slightly, and in the next moment, it turned into a black light and shot through the air ahead. The former did not delay and also followed closely.
Not only the two of them, but also the monks from all directions sensed the subtle changes in Ji Xuan Bing's eyes, and they all gathered one after another. Within a short time, the number of people gathered had reached twenty, and there were five people in the middle stage of pill formation.
"Look, the vortex has weakened." Suddenly, one of them suddenly exclaimed, causing everyone to lean down and look down, all showing surprise.
Just as the man shouted, the huge vortex of cold air with a diameter of more than a hundred feet in the valley below was shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, only an area of more than ten feet was left.
At this time, everything below was clearly visible, especially a narrow crack at the bottom of the valley, which was the previous Ji Xuan Ice Eye.
"The cold is weakening. Something happened below the island. Maybe we can go down and check it out." Someone took the initiative to suggest.
"Do you think no one has been down there?" Someone immediately shook his head and continued,
"Someone has used the intermediate earth escape technique to detect it before. The depth of this crack is unimaginable, and the lower it goes down, the temperature is terrifyingly low. That person only went deep into a few hundred feet and consumed most of his mana. After that, he had no choice but to return."
"Uh..." After hearing this, everyone nearby was a little surprised. Knowing the earth escape technique is not enough, resisting the severe cold is the key. Moreover, not everyone can master the Earth Escape Technique. It's okay for low-level people. They have earth spiritual roots and can master it successfully after a year and a half. However, once you reach the intermediate level, the difficulty will suddenly increase and it will take more than just a long time. It requires a very high level of understanding.
"Wait, there's something going on." While everyone was discussing, suddenly, one of them seemed to sense something and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. Before he finished speaking, the ground below suddenly cracked open, and a huge centipede with a transparent body and a length of more than ten feet broke out of the ground. Immediately afterwards, five more rays of light flew out one after another. They were also centipede-like monsters, but their lengths were slightly different.
