Chapter 334: Ice Cave, Strange Roar, Man in the Ice [Subscribe]
Compared to detection by spiritual sense, the demon insect possessed by "Insect Puppet Technique" is like Zhou Chun's eyes. In certain circumstances, it can play a role that spiritual sense cannot match.
Just like now, when Zhou Chunyu used the "Black Armor Golden Feather" to fly into the crack of the mountain, the demon insect quickly flew to the place where his spiritual consciousness was blocked.
Unlike what he thought, there was no formation barrier there, but it was filled with white cold fog.
It seemed that the thing that was hindering the advancement of his spiritual consciousness was the cold fog.
But how could ordinary cold fog hinder the detection of spiritual consciousness?
When Zhou Chun thought of this, he immediately controlled the "Black Armor Golden Feather" and crashed into the cold fog area.
But what surprised him extremely was that the "Black Armor Golden Feather", which had extremely strong resistance to both high and low temperatures, immediately began to stiffen after entering the cold fog area. Not long after it went deep into it, it was frozen into a ball of solid ice and fell directly to the ground.
Although "Xuanjia Jinyu" itself had not completely died, Zhou Chun knew that it was only a matter of time, so he did not insist any further and quickly withdrew his own spirit.
After he withdrew the spirit attached to the demon insect, he looked at Zhou Zhengyong with a serious expression and said, "There is something strange in this cave. It is filled with an extremely cold fog. Even my black armor and golden feathers can hardly survive in it."
After that, he continued, "How about this, Brother Yong, you and Xu Fu will protect me outside first, and I will go in and investigate it myself. If I can't hold on in the fog, I will ask the Supreme Elder to come over and take a look!"
"Okay, then you should be more careful too, Thirteenth Brother."
Zhou Zhengyong nodded and did not argue with Zhou Chun about this matter.
He knew the difference in strength between himself and Zhou Chun. If Zhou Chun couldn't find anything inside, he would be even less likely to do so.
After explaining this to Zhou Zhengyong and the other two, Zhou Chun summoned the Silver Lightning Thunder Python Baibai out, and the man and the python slowly walked into the crack in front of them.
This crack in the mountain is more than ten feet high, but only about ten feet wide. In such a narrow place, the Golden-Armored Rock Turtle cannot move its body at all, and even the Golden-Winged Tiger finds it difficult.
Only the Silver Lightning Python Baibai can move normally in it.
As Zhou Chun walked, he also added several layers of protection to himself, appearing to be very cautious.
I don’t know if it was caused by the entry of their bodies that produced some noise.
Just when they went about fifty or sixty feet deep into the crack of the mountain, Zhou Chun's spiritual sense suddenly captured many fluctuations of magic power.
From the cold fog deep in the cracks of the mountain, blue-black bats with a wingspan of several feet suddenly swarmed out and soon appeared in Zhou Chun's sight.
Whoosh whoosh!
When Zhou Chun saw those blue-black bats, blue-white ice cone arrows were already shooting towards him and the silver electric thunder python.
Without thinking too much, Zhou Chun immediately activated the [Xuanling Golden Bell] and covered himself inside.
The silver electric python Baibai in front of him quickly moved forward along the mountain wall and rushed out of the attack range of the ice cone.
But when the golden bell fell to the ground, golden light shone brightly, and ice cones fell on the golden light and smashed themselves into pieces.
However, the cold air formed by these ice cones after they were shattered condensed into a ball again, and soon froze Zhou Chun and the clock in a large block of solid ice.
Seeing this, the bat monsters that shot out ice cones immediately thought they had the upper hand, and quickly turned their targets and attacked the Silver Electric Thunder Python that had escaped the disaster.
But their attacks were slower than that of the Silver Lightning Python.
At that time, the Silver Electric Thunder Python dodged the attack of the ice cone and quickly hissed and released a series of lightning spells to counterattack the bat monsters.
I saw silver-white lightning jumping and flashing in the air. After hitting a bat monster, it would bounce towards another bat monster nearby.
Because of the humid environment inside the mountain cracks, electric current can be easily transmitted and spread in the air. Many bat monsters that were not struck by lightning had their lower bodies paralyzed by the running electric current and were unable to move.
Even though the bat monster was able to fight back, it would be difficult for it to cause any actual damage to the Silver Thunder Python.
So without Zhou Chun taking any action, nearly half of the bat monsters were killed by the Silver Electric Thunder Python, and the rest were all scared and fled back to the cold fog area.
At this time, Zhou Chun shattered the ice that had frozen him and walked out.
"Well done, Bai Bai, you have made another contribution."
After he came out, he immediately praised his pet, and picked up a bat monster corpse on the ground and threw it to his pet to eat.
Then he looked at the other charred corpses of bat monsters on the ground, and showed a thoughtful expression.
What is certain is that he does not recognize this kind of bat monster, and the Zhou family's monster encyclopedia does not include any information about this monster.
However, he was really surprised that these bat monsters could actually live in that cold fog area.
You know, even the "Black Armor and Golden Feathers" can't last long in there!
These bat monsters only look like first-level monsters, and none of them has reached the second level.
But now is not the time to study these things. After Zhou Chun's curiosity subsided, he took the Silver Electric Thunder Python Baibai and continued to walk deeper into the cave.
Soon they arrived outside the cold fog area.
Being in close contact with the cold fog area, Zhou Chun felt the bone-chilling cold so much that he had to use his magic power to resist.
The silver electric thunder python Baibai beside him was in even worse condition.
Snakes are naturally afraid of cold. Even though Baibai is a second-level monster with a much higher cold resistance than ordinary snakes, he still felt extremely uncomfortable facing the extremely cold temperatures here.
If Zhou Chun hadn't brought it in, it would definitely not want to get close to here at all.
"Well, Bai Bai, go back first. If there is any danger, I will call you out."
Zhou Chun glanced at his beloved pet, which was twisting its snake body due to the cold, and immediately put it into the spirit beast bag with great sympathy.
Then he summoned the golden-winged tiger.
The narrow terrain inside the cave forced the golden-winged tiger to retract its wings and was unable to spread them out.
But its resistance to cold is undoubtedly much stronger than that of the Silver Thunder Python Baibai and the Golden Rock Turtle.
Its thick fur allows it to adapt to the environment quickly after coming out.
After Zhou Chun waited for it to adapt, he flew directly onto its back and rode it into the cold fog area.
cold!Biting cold!
As soon as he entered the cold fog area, Zhou Chun felt the biting cold even with the protection of magic power.
The golden-winged tiger under his feet couldn't help but sneeze, and a faint golden light appeared on its body. It began to use its magic power to resist the cold.
Zhou Chun tried to release his spiritual sense, but after it was released, it was suppressed by a strange force, as if his eyes were covered with a piece of gauze. Although he could still see some vague outlines, it was of no use at all.
He had no choice but to take out a few talismans from his storage bag and put them in his sleeves to prevent any accidents.
At the same time, he also warned his pet: "Xiao Jin, you should be careful too. If something happens, protect yourself first and don't worry too much about me."
After giving his pet these instructions, he signaled his pet to continue moving forward.
But just after they moved forward not far, a flapping sound reached Zhou Chun's ears. He immediately realized something and hurriedly urged the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Light" to create a golden wall in front of him.
Almost as soon as the golden barrier was set up, ice cones fell on it, and then bat monsters rushed out from the cold fog, biting the golden barrier with their fangs and claws.
This time, there were many more bat monsters than before. Zhou Chun felt that there might be hundreds of them.
He didn't want to get entangled with these beasts any longer, so he ordered the golden-winged tiger under his feet to launch a counterattack. The golden-winged tiger opened its mouth wide, and a golden-green gust of wind swept up, engulfing dozens of bat monsters.
Blown by this murderous wind, the bat monsters screamed, blood splattered all over their bodies, and they fell to the ground one after another.
However, the cold fog in the cave was so strange that even the cold wind could hardly blow it away.
After destroying the enemy with this strike, the Golden Winged Tiger proudly took steps forward and carried Zhou Chun deeper into the enemy territory.
But this time, it had just walked less than ten feet when a strange roar sounded from deep in the cave!
The sound was like the roar of a cow, extremely strange and difficult to describe.
But it contained extraordinary power. When Zhou Chun heard the sound, his body shook slightly and his consciousness was in a trance for a moment.
And the golden-winged tiger under his feet was even more miserable.
After hearing the roar, the big cat suddenly fell to the ground, shaking all over.
"What's going on? Xiao Jin, why are you so afraid of that roar?"
Zhou Chun looked at the big cat at his feet with a frown, not understanding why it had such a reaction.
You have to know that given the rank of the mutated golden-winged tiger, even the dragon power of a third-order green dragon would not be able to cause it to be like this.
Could it be that the owner of that roar is a fourth-level monster?
"I don't know why, but it's the instinctive fear in my blood that forces me to do this!"
The golden-winged tiger answered Zhou Chun's question in his heart, his limbs still trembling, and it seemed that he could not stand up for the time being.
This situation made Zhou Chun even more suspicious.
The bloodline of a monster is the source of its power. Generally speaking, there are only three situations that can make a monster feel fear based on its bloodline instinct.
One is encountering a natural enemy type of monster that is far more powerful than oneself.
It's like Baibai, a mid-level monster, encountering a natural enemy, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, which is a high-level monster.
Another situation is encountering a powerful monster of the same species.
It was like the Silver Electric Thunder Python encountered a fourth-level Thunder Dragon for nothing.
The third situation is the pressure from the demon king.
The so-called Demon King is a respectful title for a fifth-level demon beast.
They are the kings among the monsters. Their unique pressure as monster kings has a great deterrent effect on any monsters that are not at the monster king level, and can directly make all monsters fear and submit.
As the king of all beasts, the mutated golden-winged tiger can be called the natural enemy of its kind. There are so many monsters that they can be counted on one hand. Zhou Chun has never heard of any kind that can live in such a cold environment.
Similarly, although the roar just now was strange, it had nothing to do with a tiger's roar, and it was unlikely to be made by a powerful tiger monster.
But the third situation is undoubtedly more exaggerated.
How could a fifth-level demon king appear in such a place!
"Since you can't move now, go back to the spirit beast bag first. I'll do it myself!"
Zhou Chun suppressed his doubts and made a quick decision.
After he put the golden-winged tiger into the spirit beast bag, he walked forward on his own.
It was also strange that the strange roar was heard once and then never again.
But as we went deeper into the cave, the colder it became.
Zhou Chun looked at the ground, only to find that there was no ice on the ground.
This is another weird situation.
At this moment, the temperature where he was had definitely dropped to the level of minus 100 degrees Celsius in his previous life, or even minus 200 degrees Celsius.
In such an environment, all water vapor should condense into ice.
Zhou Chun can only attribute this to the differences in the world. In a world of immortals, everything is possible!
Perhaps it was due to the influence of the strange roar, but Zhou Chun never encountered attacks from bat monsters again as he moved forward.
He silently calculated the distance he had traveled in his mind. When he was about a thousand feet deep into the cave, the cold fog in front of him disappeared.
What he saw in front of him at this moment was an ice passage. The mountain crevice was covered with blue ice on all sides. There was only a passage less than ten feet high and less than five feet wide that could be used for moving forward.
The irregular shape also shows that all of this is naturally formed.
Zhou Chun tried to release his spiritual sense to detect the situation inside the dark passage, but failed as expected.
His spiritual consciousness had just left his body for less than ten feet when it was instantly frozen and shrank back, just like an ordinary person putting his hand on ice.
When he tentatively stepped one foot into the icy passage, the biting cold almost froze his leg.
"I still don't believe it. I am Zhou Chun, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Is it possible that I could freeze to death in there?"
Zhou Chun gritted his teeth and immediately took out a second-grade top-grade magic weapon [Flame Bird Pot] from his storage bag, and activated the power of this magic weapon to use it as a stove.
Doing so is indeed a waste of mana, and most cultivators would definitely not dare to do so.
But Zhou Chun had enough Huiyuan Pills on him, so he could absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world to restore his magic power without any scruples, and he didn't care about this loss at all.
He held the crimson copper kettle as if it were a heater and strode into the ice passage.
Zhou Chun didn't know how this ice passage was formed, or why there was such a passage in the middle of the thick ice.
But now he no longer wants to think about these things. He just wants to know what is in the deepest part of the ice passage.
In this way, Zhou Chun carried the copper pot all the way deeper into the ice passage, and after struggling forward for nearly a hundred feet, he finally reached the end of the passage.
At the end of the ice passage, there was an ice cave.
In the center of the ice cave, there is a cold spring emitting white cold air.
The mouth of the cold spring is not big, less than ten feet wide.
But inside the spring stands a human-shaped ice sculpture.
To be precise, there is a person standing in the spring in the form of an ice sculpture!
It was a naked middle-aged man, half of his body submerged in the water and the other half exposed, with his eyes closed as if he was resting.
This strange scene made Zhou Chun feel a chill down his spine.
Because at this time Zhou Chun looked around and did not find anything else worth noting in the ice cave.
And the strange roar that appeared before did exist.
Could it be that the roar came from this middle-aged man?
Second update!
