Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them ran towards the underground lake space.

The big treasure is out. Grab it and run away now before the vision spreads and people outside can’t see it!

On the ground, the big monster, which had been fighting wits and courage with the bandits for five days and had been trying to break through the bandits' encirclement, dive into the lake and then follow the passage back to the underground lake, suddenly rushed towards the lake without caring about its life.

All the bandits who tried to stop it were brutally bitten or crushed to death by it.

The three bandit leaders realized how powerful this monster was and had to join forces to intercept it.

However, this time the monster ignored them completely. It only protected its head and eyes, closed its mouth tightly, and relied on its hard scales to break through the encirclement of the bandits and dive into the water.

The three bandit leaders all looked grim. With such a monster occupying the lake, how could they continue to stay by the lake and search in the desert?

However, before they could come up with a plan, they suddenly felt the temperature around them drop a lot.

It was noon in the middle of the desert, but it was still quite cool.

The other bandits were all very surprised. The three bandit leaders seemed to have thought of something at the same time. Their faces changed instantly and they looked at the other two warily.

One of them was even more impatient. He walked several steps towards the lake before stopping. He then said to the other two, "That monster is very powerful. We have no chance of winning against it alone. If we don't join forces to kill the monster, the treasure will be taken by that beast."

The other two horse bandit leaders' eyes moved slightly, and they did not directly respond to the other party. Instead, they turned around and began to instruct the younger brothers around them.

Soon, the leaders of the three gangs of horse bandits jumped into the lake with their men and followed the big monster.

The big monster didn't bother to pay any attention to them. As soon as it entered the lake, it found the passage at the bottom of the lake and dived in, swimming towards the underground lake.

The bandits followed the monster and soon felt that the water in the entire lake was extremely cold.

The three horse bandit leaders with strong internal strength could still barely hold on, but many of the horse bandits with weaker internal strength began to suffer from hypothermia and their muscles gradually became stiff. They wanted to swim upstream, but their swimming speed could not keep up with the speed at which the lake temperature dropped.

When the bandit leader saw this situation, he thought that even though the three of them could still hold on, no one knew how long they would have to stay in the water and whether the temperature of the lake would continue to drop.

Even if they could follow the monster to find the place, the people they brought with them obviously wouldn't be able to hold on.

If this goes on, even if the three of them arrive, they may not be able to do anything to the monster, and the underwater world is the monster's domain.

Although it was very dirty, the three bandit leaders turned around and took their men out of the lake.

They stood on the shore, looking at the lake with reluctance on their faces.

The treasure is clearly right there, but they can only watch it and cannot get it.

Extremely unwilling...

"Search. I don't believe there is no other entrance."

When the monster eats the treasure and reappears, I will definitely skin it, eat its flesh, and drink its blood.

Under the lake, Lian Li and Yun Hui boated back to the underground lake in a hurry.

The temperature here was so low that Yun Huizhou had to use his internal energy to cover himself, let alone Lian Li.

Lian Li only felt that his internal energy was being consumed rapidly, like an oil leak.

Neither of them dared to waste time in such an environment. They quickly scanned the underground lake space and then locked their eyes on the leaves in the center of the lake.

The surface of the lake had frozen over, and the leaves were also covered with a thick but clearly textured layer of ice.

The entire space of the underground lake has become a world of ice.

Moreover, in such a short period of time, many of the leaves that were originally spread on the water surface were lifted high up by the stems and left the water surface.

Amidst the protection of numerous leaves, a colorless lotus the size of a palm was faintly visible, exactly the same as the lotus in their hands before it was dyed red.

Yun Huizhou flew up and landed above the newly appeared lotus.

Lian Li saw that in just a moment, Yun Huizhou's entire body was covered with a layer of frost, and the frost was so thick that it was visible to the naked eye. In a while, Yun Huizhou would probably turn into an ice sculpture.

Lian Li felt that his movements were noticeably slower, probably due to the low temperature.

Yun Huizhou did not stop his movements. He used his internal strength to shake off all the frost on his body, allowing his body to regain its previous agility.

This time was short. As Yun Huizhou got closer and closer to the location of the lotus, frost slowly covered his body again.

Yun Huizhou was already about one meter away from the real lotus. The fingertips of his left hand, which was stretched forward, were no longer covered with frost, but a thin layer of ice.

It can be imagined that when Yun Huizhou actually touched the lotus, his entire palm would probably be frozen to pieces.

Yun Huizhou also realized this, but it was obviously impossible for him to give up now.

In such a short period of time, his internal energy consumption was enormous, and as time passed, the temperature of the entire underground lake space would only get lower and lower.

If he gave up going back to the shore to rest and come back again, he would probably never have the chance to get close to this lotus again.

They even had to leave this underground space as soon as possible, otherwise he and Lian Li would be frozen into ice sculptures here.

He tightened his grip on the knife, but suddenly discovered that the frost on his right hand was the thinnest on his entire body.

His whole body was flying down from above, with his right hand being second only to the lotus.

He glanced at his right hand and suddenly remembered that when he was fighting with the big monster, his right hand was stained with the monster's blood.

And the knife in his hand was almost soaked in monster blood.

In just a moment, he figured out what was going on, so he immediately changed his posture, retracted his left hand, swung his right hand, pulled out the knife with one hand, held it in his right hand, and chopped at the stem below the lotus.

However, the knife failed to cut off the seemingly fragile stem, and it spread all the way up along the knife, and was about to spread to Yun Huizhou's right hand.

Seeing this, Lian Li didn't care that he was slow in movement due to the cold. He took out the still warm transparent lotus from his arms and threw it towards Yun Huizhou.

"Yun Huizhou, catch it."

The moment the transparent lotus left him, he felt twice as cold.

He was like this even though he was standing by the lake, let alone the Yunhuizhou which was not protected by the transparent lotus and was right next to the precious lotus.

In order to prevent himself from being completely frozen, Lian Li could only consume his internal energy at a faster rate.

Fortunately, he had used nine Youxia fruits before, and now his internal strength has reached a first-class level, otherwise he would not be able to stay here any longer.

Yun Huizhou raised his left hand and caught the transparent lotus thrown by Lian Li. He instantly felt the coldness on his body eased a lot, and the ice that had been spreading along the knife also stopped.
