Covered by the snow and ice, the mourning grass was different from the blue of the past. In the distance, the haze of the snow-capped mountains occasionally heard the sound of falling snow.
In the mountain col, the cold wind roared like the roar of thousands of wild beasts. In the area that was not open, one ice beast after another was killed and wounded all over the place with the cooperation of the two people, and the moans were endless.
The shape of the ice beast is very similar to that of a spider. Its eight crystal-clear legs and claws crawl very fast. Their main means of attack is to rely on the strong power of their forelimbs to tear their prey into pieces.
In addition, their innate magical power can also spit out a breathtaking cold air. If a mortal body is accidentally attacked, it will turn into a lifelike ice sculpture on the spot. Even if it is touched by a cultivator of the same level, that kind of The stinging sensation that penetrates deep into the bone marrow is never pleasant either.
However, under the joint attack of two foundation-building monks, Li Qingyang and Lin Yuqin, the ice beast's previous reputation for evil disappeared.
Lin Yuqin raised a long, vermilion staff and hung it in the air. Driven by spiritual power, the gem embedded in the tip of the staff suddenly emitted more than a dozen rays of hot breath.
In the nearby land, the mourning grass, which has been wrapped in ice crystals all year round, shows signs of withering and melting.
Even with the surface like this, the ice beasts were even more difficult to resist. They just relied on instinct to pounce on the two of them. Their bodies seemed to have been stripped of their skeletons, and the ice was constantly melting, not to mention Li Qingyang who was assisting at the side.
"Swish swish..."
I saw that he didn't use any powerful spells. The small ice crystals condensed by his spiritual power kept bouncing in his hands. Every time he made a move, there was always an ice beast's head accurately exploding in the distance.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, but experts say: "This technique of throwing ice crystals is absolutely impossible to master without hard practice."
Chen Mo, who was observing covertly, thought to himself that at least he didn't have Li Qingyang's unique skills.
Time passed little by little, and as the number of ice beasts gradually decreased, the ice beast's cave was also completely destroyed.
As the three people said before, only ice particles exist in the body of the ice beast. No matter how many people are killed, they will not get any benefit from it.
"Sister, let's go to the next place."
"good......"
Before Lin Yuqin finished speaking, a gloomy shadow suddenly appeared above her head, and two sharp leg thorns struck in an instant. The gray and blue colors were twisted, and the space seemed to be cut open by this blow. .
This fourth-level ice beast that no one noticed had been lurking at the entrance of the cave for a long time. Just when the two of them had collected their magic weapons, it found the right opportunity and swooped in.
"Sister! Be careful!!"
Along with Li Qingyang's anxious voice, there was also the condensing light and color that appeared in front of her, the symbol of a foundation-building monk. The overflowing spiritual power could ignore the attacks of most low-level spells.
There is a crisp sound of "dang"!
The Liancai in the foundation-building stage was still strong, but Lin Yuqin was blown away by the ice beast's forelimbs. She stood up in embarrassment, her entire upper body paralyzed by pain.
Such a sudden attack would have already penetrated the head of a monk who had not built a foundation.
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the ice beast unexpectedly did not pursue him. Instead, it locked its gaze firmly on the monks on both sides.
Li Qingyang's figure retreated, and his wrist almost danced into an afterimage. Twenty-two ice crystals blocked all the ice beast's escape routes, but only a low roar was heard, and the majestic cold air spurted out from the ice beast's mouth. It was getting longer and longer, and Lin Yuqin and Li Qingyang were so surprised that they quickly dodged.
The ice crystals hit the frost and cold air head-on, as if they had encountered a natural enemy. All twenty-two ice crystals were stagnant in the air at this moment. When the cold air ended, they had lost the power to move forward and fell to the ground on their own.
"I was too careless. There is actually a fourth-order ice beast hidden here!" Li Qingyang was shocked and angry. He said eagerly: "Sister, are you okay?!"
"It's okay, don't worry about me. Do you have a way to solve it?" Lin Yuqin said.
"I have killed more than a dozen fourth-level ice beasts! I have some experience..." Li Qingyang no longer held back at this time, while holding the spell, he communicated with Lin Yuqin: "It only has three ax moves. , distract it for me!"
Before Lin Yuqin could answer again, Li Qingyang's eyes flickered and followed the ground.
The snowflakes on the bed were swirling and dancing in front of him, and they slowly gathered into a palm-sized talisman.
It was freezing cold outside, and this talisman seemed to be filled with extremely terrifying spiritual pressure.
On the other side, Lin Yuqin was shocked when she saw this scene: "The legendary snow talisman!" Being familiar with the common sense of the world of cultivation, she naturally knew that since the sect was established in Daxue Mountain, this spell can only be passed on to the core disciples. ah!
Is it possible that Li Qingyang is already the leader of the younger generation in the sect? Lin Yuqin couldn't help being dumbfounded.
After three days of separation, she was treated with admiration. The slug in her childhood memory has now become a master who can stand alone in the world of cultivation.
"Geez..."
At the moment when Lin Yuqin was in a trance, the ice beast's body seemed to be covered with a layer of gold, and its slender eyes like ice edges sensed the danger. At the same moment it made a sound, it pounced towards Li Qingyang who was condensing the second talisman. go.
Ice beasts below the third level do not have much intelligence, but that does not mean that the fourth level ice beast is also a fool. It can be seen from its behavior of waiting for opportunities to attack that it has some intelligence.
Lin Yuqin woke up from a dream. Although her upper body was in unbearable pain, she still drew out her flying sword and faced it. She increased her speed to the extreme and stabbed straight towards the shell of the ice beast spider, breaking through all means with one sword.
Feeling the killing intent, the ice beast turned its head, its body's light suddenly brightened several times, and it spit out a stream of cold air in Lin Yuqin's direction.
"Kakaka..."
The cold air almost froze the snowflakes in the air, and there seemed to be a twisted blue bowstring in the air. This blow was undoubtedly the full blow of the fourth-order monster.
When the crisis hit, Lin Yuqin felt a chill running through the pores of her body. She quickly changed her sword moves, and the sound of "swish" was heard endlessly.
It's like holding a big knife and slashing the stone made of steel one after another. Not only is the latter shattered, but the counterattack force on the caster is also huge.
In just three or four attempts, her tiger's mouth was numb, but the icicles formed by the cold air did not seem to be cut off. Lin Yuqin gritted her teeth and took out the scroll magic weapon from the storage bag.
Suddenly, hundreds of purple fireworks fell from the sky, causing the temperature in the mountain col to suddenly increase by more than ten degrees. The hardness of the icicles was weakened, and the ice beast attacks and the environment became much more difficult.
On the other side, relying on Lin Yuqin's effort, Li Qingyang formed four talismans on his body, floating in front, back, left and right in front of him.
The next moment, with a finger in his hand, the four talismans separated from his body, spinning faster and faster on their own, heading straight for the ice beast on the side.
The ice beast's eyes showed a trace of anthropomorphic fear, and he was about to escape, but found that the confining power of the talisman merged with the surroundings, sealing the entire space of several feet, and it was trapped inside.
"Explode!" Li Qingyang yelled, and in the space where the four talismans were, countless ice blades suddenly appeared. The number was so large that it was difficult to distinguish it with one's spiritual sense. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the wind and snow blowing like a knife. , the talisman and a large amount of snow mist dispersed, and the ice beast inside had already turned into a large puddle of broken ice.
There was also an ice particle the size of a fist in the middle, which was much larger than what Lin Yuqin had seen before.
"call......"
Li Qingyang sucked in his left hand, and the flames baked the incoming ice particles. In a short time, they turned into a pool of clear water: "Sister, are you okay?" He came over with a concerned look, and took advantage of Lin Yuqin's hand with both hands. Shoulder.
Chen Mo, who saw this from a distance, suddenly clenched his fists, but as if he remembered something, he finally slowly released them.
Chen Mo turned his back and faced the sky. The world in the snow was very quiet and ethereal, so quiet that he could almost hear his own heartbeat.
"I'm fine, don't be like this." Lin Yuqin said.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Li Qingyang hurriedly shifted his gaze and changed the topic: "Our spiritual power is consumed a lot. Let's recover near the ice beast's cave first. We can rush back after killing it as soon as possible."
"Okay." Lin Yuqin responded, and the two quickly disappeared into the world of wind and snow.
Chen Mo was in a state of confusion, and his consciousness was no longer as alert as before. He never noticed that on the other side of the snow-capped mountains, there were also three foundation-building monks who were also silently observing everything happening in the mountain col.
.....
.
"Momen girl, what do you think?"
The thin old man, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and with a gray beard covered in ice, spoke hoarsely. It is estimated that the three of them have been here for a while.
"Your intelligence is too backward! Didn't it say that the Lin family can only send one foundation-building monk at most?"
A female cultivator who looked like a middle-aged woman answered. She was very charming, but the darkness between her eyebrows showed that she was injured, and it was not serious.
"The plan cannot keep up with the changes. Besides, we have three early-stage foundation-building monks. Three to two are enough."
The person who spoke last was quite young, in his thirties. When he heard the woman's words that were offensive to their family, he couldn't help but frown and couldn't help but speak out.
"A junior in your family?" The woman ignored him and just asked the old man beside her.
The old man replied: "My nephew, I have never seen blood."
"No wonder." The woman showed a look of understanding.
"Sister, what do you think?" the old man repeated.
"One is a true disciple of Daxue Mountain, and the other has profound cultivation and endless magic weapons. If we start to use our hands, we will win. They are better because of their youth, and we are better because of our experience."
The old man nodded: "It's almost as I expected. Unfortunately, the news from the family is wrong. If only one person from the Lin family comes, our plan can be implemented smoothly."
The middle-aged woman said: "There is a solution that is not a solution."
The old man said: "But it doesn't matter."
"You're holding them back without seeking to win. I'll take the opportunity to cleanse their mines, recover some of my cultivation, and then rush over to help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young monk said impatiently: "Uncle, no! People of the devil's way..."
"Don't be impatient." The old man waved his hand to calm him down: "Sister Momen, you have also seen the cultivation of the two of them. Do you think this is feasible?"
"In other words, I know you are here to heal the souls of the Lin family monks. If you recover part of your cultivation, but fail to take action, we will both lose. When the time comes, the souls in your hands will be gone. There’s more than one.”
"Sister Momen, I don't mean not to believe you, it's just that we have to plan things properly, are you right?"
The old man's tone was normal, but anyone could hear the caution in his words.
