Compared with Bu Xiaotian and the others who were leisurely and comfortable, Chu Yungong and the others in the ice field were much more embarrassed.
At this time, Chu Yungong and his two junior brothers were hiding in an ice cave deep in the ice field, shivering. They had been hiding here for several days.
Outside the ice cave, the biting cold wind howled by.
It can only be said that they were so unlucky and chose the worst time to enter the ice field.
It is the middle of winter, the coldest time of the year.
Xuanzhou has long been covered with heavy snow and is very cold. Ordinary people are hiding at home and will not go out unless there is something extremely important.
Not to mention the ice field that is still nearly ten thousand miles away in the north of Xuanzhou. They are still deep in the ice field.
It is dark night in the ice field at this time. If you stand on the ice field and look up to the sky, you can see the stars in the night sky, and from time to time there will be dreamlike brilliance flashing, which is extremely beautiful.
However, such a beautiful dark night has lasted for who knows how long. Ever since Chu Yungong and the others entered the ice field, the sky gradually darkened as they went deeper into the ice field, until it completely turned into night.
When they discovered that it was still dark, they were shocked to realize that this was the polar night in the ice field.
Although the night sky is as beautiful as a dream, underneath this beauty lies a deadly coldness.
Dropping water and turning into ice is not enough to describe the cold here. Even a pot of boiling water will turn into ice cubes in an instant when blown by the cold wind.
The three of them were too impatient, relying on their advanced cultivation, they left Yuxu Gate and headed north, directly entering the ice field.
They didn't even stop at the villages near the north to inquire about the ice field.
Even with their cultivation, they felt that they could not withstand the cold here, and when they wanted to return, they encountered a large group of monsters living in the ice field.
They spent a lot of energy to resist the cold wind, but they were no match for those monster beasts. They were chased by a large group of monster beasts for several days before finally getting rid of them.
But at that time, they were exhausted, so they could only find an ice cave, kill the two white bears that originally lived here, and temporarily avoid the cold and repair here.
When they recovered a little and got together, they found that it was several times colder outside than when they came in.
In such a cold environment, they couldn't move at all, and they couldn't even exit the ice field.
If they were forced to go out, just resisting the cold would exhaust their energy, and they would freeze to death outside before long, not to mention there were many monsters outside.
They don't want to become food in the stomachs of those monsters and end up being pulled into a corner.
The only way to survive is by hiding here.
Only then did they realize what a hasty and stupid decision it was to enter the ice sheet directly.
Si Yun tightened the bearskin around his body and said tremblingly:
"Senior Brother Three Three Three Three, how long are we going to stay here? I feel like I'm going to freeze to death!"
Chu Yungong's face turned pale and his lips turned blue from the cold. Hearing this, he replied:
"We have to wait at least two months. When it gets warmer outside, we will leave the ice sheet immediately."
"Huh? We still have to wait two months?"
When Si Yunrang heard this, his face, which was already pale from the cold, couldn't help but turn a little whiter.
Chu Yungong saw Si Yunrang's expression and said:
"Why are you panicking? Although it's very cold here, it's much better than outside. Plus the meat from the two bears is enough to last us until we leave.
This time we came too hastily. When it gets warmer, we will leave the ice field first and be prepared next time and come back when the weather is the warmest. "
…
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
In the past two years, Bu Xiaotian and his team have searched all the underwater volcanoes recorded on the white silk, but unfortunately they have not found any trace of the fire spirit.
Every few months, they would return to Cangwu Mountain.
One is to recuperate and relieve physical and mental fatigue. After all, no matter how beautiful the scenery at the bottom of the sea is, staying in the sea for a long time is not a small burden on their spirit.
Second, in the past two years, other ethnic groups in the South China Sea have sent some news about the volcanoes under the sea. They got new information from the shark elders and went to search further away.
On this day, Bu Xiaotian and others came to a volcano thousands of feet below the sea.
At the bottom of the sea, which is thousands of feet deep, the sun can no longer shine.
But the surroundings are not completely dark. There is a dark blue shimmer in the surrounding seawater. Various fishes are swimming back and forth between the rocks on the seabed. In addition, everyone is accomplished in practice and can see clearly what is in front of them. everything.
In two days, everyone searched every corner of this underwater volcano, but could not find any clues about the fire spirit.
Just when they thought they were about to return without success, Lan Huan suddenly swam over from the other side of the seabed and said:
"Chief, I found a place!"
Everyone thought he had found a clue to the fire spirit, and they all cheered up. They all looked at Lan Huan, but saw that his eight tentacles were empty.
But they all knew that Lan Huan would not lie. Jiangzhu asked:
"Lan Huan, what did you find? Are there any clues about Shui Yan?"
Lan Huan stretched out a tentacle to point in the direction he swam and said:
"No, there is a strange place over there, full of sword energy!"
Everyone was a little disappointed when they learned that Lan Huan had not found any clues about the fire spirit, but they were not too discouraged.
In the past two years, they have investigated at least dozens of underwater volcanoes, but they have found nothing, and they have long been used to it.
Although according to what Lan Huan said, there were no clues about the fire spirit in the place he found, he finally made some different discoveries. Jiangzhu decided to take everyone there to take a look.
"Take us there!"
When Lan Huan heard Jiang Zhu's instructions, he swam in the direction he came from without hesitation.
The others followed behind him.
Soon, they arrived at the place Lan Huan mentioned.
This is a seabed reef, but what is different from the reefs elsewhere is that the rocks here are covered with scratches, as if someone had practiced swordsmanship on these rocks here.
But this is the bottom of the sea, why would anyone practice swordsmanship here?
As for the Sea Clan, they do not practice the human mind method. Even if they occasionally use swords, they use them as ordinary magic weapons.
Until now, I have never heard of any Sea Clan practicing swordsmanship.
As they swam forward, everyone felt sword auras beginning to appear in the surrounding seawater.
These sword qi were very sparse at first, and were nothing to everyone. However, the closer they got to the front, the denser the sword qi became, more powerful, and more difficult to resist.
It became more and more difficult for everyone to move forward. After swimming forward for a while, under the obstruction of the sword energy, everyone except Jiangzhu, Bu Xiaotian, and Xiang Yunwen stopped one by one.
At this point, even Jiangzhu and the other three found it difficult to resist the sword energy that had almost no gaps around them. They had no energy left to care about others.
Jiangzhu saw that the seven guards were all stopped in place, struggling to resist the sword energy around them. Knowing that if they were left here any longer, they might exhaust their strength and lose their lives, he ordered:
"You guys exit first and wait for us outside!"
The guards also knew that if they stayed here, they would not only be unable to help, but would become a hindrance, so they did not try to be brave. After saying yes, they slowly withdrew from the place shrouded in sword energy.
After swimming forward for a while, Bu Xiaotian could resist the sword energy better than others because he had condensed his sword heart, but Jiangzhu and Xiang Yunwen could no longer hold on.
Xiang Yunwen said to Bu Xiaotian:
"Junior brother, the sword energy here is too powerful, let's go back too!"
Bu Xiaotian, who was swimming at the front, looked back at the two of them and saw that they were just trying to hold on and seemed unable to move forward.
But he shook his head and said:
"Elder brother, please exit first. I feel like something is attracting me in front of you. Don't worry, if I can't resist it, I will exit immediately."
Xiang Yunwen heard what Bu Xiaotian said and knew that this might be Bu Xiaotian's opportunity, so he did not force himself and said:
"Well, little junior brother, if you can't hold on, don't force it. No opportunity is as important as your own life!"
Bu Xiaotian nodded, said nothing, and continued to swim forward.
Watching Bu Xiaotian continue to swim forward, a trace of surprise flashed in Xiang Yunwen's eyes.
The sword energy here is already extremely strong, and even he would have to use all his luck to resist it, but looking at the appearance of his junior brother, he actually still has some strength left.
Could it be that my junior brother's cultivation level has surpassed mine?
But he has only been practicing for less than twenty years!
What kind of talent is this?
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's figure blocked by the rocks ahead, Xiang Yunwen suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, turned Jiang Zhu's hand, and swam back.
Although Jiangzhu can be said to be almost invincible in the sea with the help of the Shark Tribe's sacred weapon, the Triblade, but now that she has left the Triblade in Cangwu Mountain, after all, her cultivation is still inferior compared to Xiang Yunwen. A trace.
Even Xiang Yunwen had to use all her strength to resist the sword energy around her, which would only make it more difficult for her. It was only because she was born as a sea tribe and her strength in the sea was higher than usual, so she could barely keep up with Xiang Yunwen.
Jiangzhu didn't resist when Xiang Yunwen held her hand and let him lead her back in the direction she came from.
Bu Xiaotian swam forward alone while feeling the sword energy filled in the sea water.
Although he has condensed his sword heart and can resist the sword energy better than Xiang Yunwen and Jiangzhu, he still feels very strenuous to swim here.
After all, it has only been two years since he truly entered the path of sword cultivation. After leaving Yuxu Sect, he was either on the road or looking for traces of volcanoes under the sea. He hardly calmed down to seriously understand what Elder Xuanjian taught him. perception.
Therefore, so far, his swordsmanship is still at the stage of first condensing the sword's heart, with almost no progress.
At this time, while resisting the sword energy, he felt the sword intention contained in the sword energy all over his body, and he had a deeper understanding of the gift given by Elder Xuanjian.
And as he advanced, the sword energy around him became stronger and stronger, and the sword intent contained in it also became stronger and stronger, and the speed of his advancement became slower and slower.
Later, he was no longer floating in the sea water, but landed on the bottom of the sea and walked forward.
Even so, it often takes him a long time to move forward a short distance.
Every step he took was laborious, and every time his footsteps fell, a small piece of fine sand would stir up under his feet.
It's not that he hasn't thought about giving up. After all, if he continues like this, he doesn't know how long it will take him to swim to the center of the sword energy.
But he had a vague feeling that there was something extremely important to him in the center of the sword energy. If he gave up this opportunity, he might lose something extremely important to him.
Before I knew it, another half day had passed.
In this half day, Bu Xiaocai only advanced a distance of two or three feet.
At this time, Bu Xiaotian was standing motionless with his eyes closed, as if he was feeling something. It had been almost half an hour since he last took a step.
