The Ice Plains is rich in ice wheel silkworm sloughs, but the merits exchanged for them are twice as much as those of the Demon Wolf Skin. With Liu Qingyi, a genuine disciple in purple, to protect him, the harvest will be more abundant than that of the Demon Wolf Ridge.
As the saying goes, finding wealth in danger, even Xu Xiangying, who has always pursued safety, gradually changed his mind after a day of hunting and fighting in Molang Ridge.
The essence of spiritual practice is the word "struggle". Only by constantly striving upward, developing the power of fighting for life, taking advantage of the fire again and again, and moving forward with perseverance, can we seize the slightest opportunity to become stronger.
Coveting the ten points of monthly merit earned by the gray-clothed disciples, instead of accepting the sect's mission and taking the risk, he finally rebelled against the immortal way and became a low-ranking person.
The night passed by in a hurry, and the three of them got up early the next day and headed straight to the ice field.
The Ice Field is located in the Tianshou Mountain, a large mountaintop plain covered with ice and snow all year round. It is covered with a low, thick-skinned vegetation similar to a coniferous forest. There are two extremely powerful ice monsters living on the plain. One species is called the frost centipede, and the other is the ice wheel cicada.
The slough of the ice wheel cicada required to be collected in this mission is the skin shell that the ice wheel cicada sheds when it grows to maturity. It is a relatively common product on the ice sheet. As long as you find the colony of the ice wheel cicada, you can collect this object.
In the white foggy sky, the purple spirit ring slowly descended, landing in a leeward valley on the ice field. It was surrounded by white snow, and the cold wind mixed with frost blew straight into the skirt of the clothes, making the The three people who had just landed were all excited.
In such bad weather, ordinary people would have been freezing. Fortunately, the three of them are very human. They all mobilized the spiritual energy and energy in their bodies to circulate through their meridians. Silks of white air overflowed, and the cold current in their bodies was evaporated, and their bodies became heavy again. The feeling of warmth was restored.
Liu Qingyi looked around for a while, then turned around and asked, "Junior Sister Zuo, do you still remember the location where you found the ice wheel cicada last time?"
Zuo Shu pointed in a direction and said: "Ten kilometers ahead from here, you can see a large snowy conifer forest, in which there are many ice wheel cicadas. I found the cicadas sloughing out of the forest last time."
Liu Qingyi said: "Then you lead the way and we will go over there."
Zuo Shu nodded, looked at Xu Xiangying aside and said, "Senior Brother Xu, if you encounter a frost centipede on the road, remember to deal with it with fire. As long as you don't continue to fight with it, the frost centipede will not hit you. Then we won’t continue to attack.”
Xu Xiangying said solemnly: "I've written it down, thank you Junior Sister Zuo for reminding me."
After Zuo Shu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out first, followed by Liu and Xu.
Traveling from here, the frost wind becomes stronger and more frequent. The low vegetation towers in the ice and snow, and the wind makes a harsh hissing sound.
The three of them had walked less than a mile, when heavy snow fell from the sky. On the endless white land, three small black dots walked step by step. The large series of footprints left behind were immediately covered by the ice and snow, as if there was no place between heaven and earth. It was originally like this forever and no one left a trace.
When they reached a mountain valley, Liu Qingyi used her Yuan Power to shake away a few snowflakes that fell on her forehead, and said impatiently: "Junior sister Zuo, why don't I sacrifice my spirit ring to take you there? It's too much trouble to walk like this." "
Zuo Shu hesitated and said, "I walked like this the last time I came to the Ice Field. The valley here is the place I passed by, and the direction was not wrong. I was afraid that if I flew in the air with you, I would lose my reference and not be able to find the way. "
"Sure enough, women are all road crazy!" Liu Qingyi sighed inwardly and said helplessly: "Then we'd better walk, I don't know how long we have to walk." After saying that, he looked at Xu Xiangying who was walking at the end with some worry, looking slightly anxious. He asked: "Brother, can you still persist?"
Xu Xiangying was not in a good condition at the moment. He was only at the second level of the Spiritual Forging Stage. Not only did he have to use his energy to resist the cold, but he also continued to use the Wind Movement for more than an hour in a row, which consumed a lot of spiritual power. Liu Qingyi and Zuo Shupara He had hit him too hard and had already slowed down early, accompanying him at a snail's pace.
"Tch, how big of a problem can this distance be? Of course I can hold on, just wait for me to adjust my breathing." Xu Xiangying squatted on the snow slope on the side of the mountain valley, closed his eyes, calmed down, and started running Come to the virtual heaven.
"Empress Xiong!" Liu Qingyi was angry and funny, so she and Zuo Shu could only accompany him on the snow slope.
Wait for it.
After a moment of this, Xu Xiangying finally stopped and stood up. Just as he was about to call the two of them to move on, unexpectedly, a white object suddenly jumped out of a snowdrift in a valley and hit his face.
"Oh my God!" Xu Xiangying became hasty and screamed in shock. He jumped back and ran backwards. Within a few steps, his back hit the snowy slope.
After this delay, the white thing was already approaching. Xu Xiangying opened his eyes and saw clearly that a huge, snow-white centipede was biting towards the top of his head with its teeth and claws. There was still green saliva hanging from the jaws. .
"It's over!" Xu Xiangying's face turned pale, his limbs stiffened, and his heart began to flutter and sink.
"puff"
The next moment, a flash of green light was seen, and the body of the snow-white centipede suddenly relaxed. The entire torso was cut open by a sharp object, split into two halves and flew backwards. The internal organs were splashed all over the floor with green body fluids, which shocked Xu Xiangying to the point of being stunned.
But Zuo Shu was not surprised and said softly: "Senior Brother Liu, your flying sword technique seems to have made great progress. It is much faster than before. This frost centipede was killed without any reaction at all. , has the Tongyuan realm really improved so much?"
Liu Qingyi smiled faintly without comment, recalled the cyan flying sword and held it in his hand. He walked to the corpse of the frost-spotted centipede and poked the centipede's head with the tip of his sword. After a while, he picked out a shiny snow-white thing. It was exactly This demon was born from the beast essence crystal in the head.
Xu Xiangying wiped a handful of cold sweat, cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Junior brother, it's lucky to have you, otherwise, senior brother, I would have been responsible for my old life." After that, he looked at Liu Qingyi's hand. With a long blue sword, he asked suspiciously: "You actually know how to control flying swords? Where did you learn it? This is not taught in the sect."
Liu Qingyi smiled and said, "Hey, Pocai, there are still many things you don't know, so just pretend you don't know about this."
Xu Xiangying curled his lips and heard Zuo Shu explain: "Senior Brother Xu, remember to use fire magic next time. This thing is afraid of fire."
Hearing this, Xu Xiangying nodded repeatedly and said nonchalantly: "I just got nervous and forgot all about it. I just hid behind me. I will definitely remember to use fire magic next time."
Liu Qingyi took the beast essence crystal, put the flying sword into his sword pouch, and urged the two of them: "It's no longer necessary, let's continue on our way."
Zuo Shu nodded and walked out first with the water embroidery knife in his hand, leading Liu and Xu out of the valley in a short time.
Liu Qingyi memorized the coordinates along the way in order to save time by flying in the air when returning, while Xu Xiangying asked Zuo Shu about the situation of the Centipede with lingering fear.
According to Zuo Shu, there are both male and female frost centipedes. Female centipedes mostly spray venom from a distance. When in danger, they will also shoot a kind of kick arrow, which is a spur on the body, which is also extremely poisonous.
Male centipedes are mostly rough-skinned and thick-flesh, and their defensive capabilities are extremely impressive. The pair of thin limbs under their jaws are stronger than gold and iron, and they like to attack at close range. When this beast attacks, it will also release frost energy, freezing a large area within a few feet in front of it, thereby affecting the target's ability to move, and even freezing the target to death on the spot.
Xu Xiangying's hands and feet became stiff at the critical moment when he was attacked by the centipede. It must have been the frost technique released by the male centipede.
This beast is a relatively difficult existence in the Heavenly Beast Mountain. One or two of them alone are not scary, but if there are more than one, it is simply a nightmare for monks in the spiritual forging stage.
Monks in the spiritual cultivation stage cannot fly in the air. If they encounter a large swarm of frost-dwelling centipedes, this combination of attacks from far and near, combined with venom all over the sky and frost covering the ground, will make it almost impossible to hide. It can be said that It's a close call.
The three of them walked forward for more than an hour and arrived at the forest that Zuo Shu had mentioned. The three frost centipedes they encountered along the way were all easily eliminated by Liu Qingyi with his flying sword.
At this moment, the three of them stopped dozens of meters away and looked at the snowy forest from a distance. The scenery reminded Liu Qingyi of the two poems "Silver Snake Dancing in the Mountains" and "Yuan Chi Wax Elephant", and those ferocious leaves like long needles. , piercing the gray sky with bared teeth and claws, the snowflakes are misty, the forest groups are shadowy, and the world is cold and desolate.
The three of them were hesitating when they suddenly saw several figures emerging from the snow forest. They were Luo Chong and Feng Jia.
The brothers and Wu Wanyu's group paused for a moment before surrounding a huge cedar tree not far away.
Liu Qingyi and Zuo Shu had better eyesight and looked intently at the snow fir tree. They saw three or four white flying insects suddenly flying from the tree, refusing to rush towards Luo Chong and others.
"The ice wheel cicada sheds!" Zuo Shu exclaimed and raised his hand to point to the snow fir tree behind the flying insect. He saw a section of trunk covered with snow, and three or four black attachments that were very eye-catching.
The white flying insects that flew up earlier were the ice wheel cicadas, a special beast deep in the ice field. They gathered together at this moment, and they must have just shed their shells.
Suddenly becoming a flying insect, the body organs seem to have not fully adapted. There is still a trace of mucus on the open mouthparts, and the wings are a little crooked when flying.
Born as monsters, they naturally have a strong sense of territory. Even the little cicadas like this are not tolerant of being insulted. At this moment, these little cicadas are staring at the people in front of them with eager eyes. You can imagine the dissatisfaction in them. And know.
While Luo Chong and others were confronting the ice wheel cicadas, Zuo Shu led Liu and Xu into the snowy forest and quickly moved towards the big tree with cicada sloughs hanging on it. .
A scream came, and Luo Chong and his team had already started to fight with several Ice Wheel Cicadas. They saw white mucus continuously spitting out from the mouth parts of the Ice Wheel Cicada, and the screams gradually became continuous, as if there was a sonic attack. Even Liu Qingyi, who was far away, was affected by this power, and felt bursts of pain in his head.
Over there, Luo Chong and several other people all used small spiritual shields to resist the white slime. While enduring the roar, they each used purple spiritual rings to fight.
Wu Wanyu stood aside, her face a little pale, and she did not help. Instead, she bent her waist and jumped behind several ice wheel cicadas, intending to pluck the cicadas from the cedar tree first.
Zuo Shu, who was approaching, rushed forward, blocked in front of Wu Wanyu, and said with a chuckle: "What are you doing? This is mine. I have discovered these cicada sloughs a long time ago and was planning to collect them. Can you please Don’t bother me if you find someone else to look for.”
"What? We obviously found it first." Wu Wanyu said angrily.
Zuo Shuyi said sternly: "I said that what I saw first is what I saw first. Could it be that you want to steal it? If you really want to ignore the friendship of the same family, then don't blame me for not holding the water embroidery knife in my hand. Recognize me." After saying that, he waved the long knife in his hand twice and looked at Wu Wanyu provocatively.
