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

But this is not enough, he has not been able to cut off the lotus. If the stalemate continues, his internal energy will be exhausted and he will become an ice sculpture.

He looked at the transparent lotus in his hand that brought a hint of warmth, then looked at the real lotus that had grown, and the light in his eyes flashed.

Then, he used his inner strength to wrap the transparent lotus and sent it towards the stem of the real lotus.

The moment the transparent lotus touched the stem, the stem began to melt like snow touching fire, and the transparent lotus was also melting.

Finally, when the two-finger-wide stem melted to only half a finger wide, the transparent lotus completely disappeared.

Only Yun Huizhou, who was closest to it, could see clearly that the transparent lotus melted into something like dew and was then absorbed by the real lotus.

Yun Huizhou took a deep breath, and his internal strength surged. He turned in the air and swung his sword with all his might, chopping at the stem that was only half a finger wide.

Lian Li stood by the lake and watched all this nervously. He knew that if Yun Huizhou failed to pick the lotus with this knife, they would never have the chance to pick the lotus again.

The temperature in the cave was getting lower and lower. Yun Huizhou and his internal energy had been greatly depleted and they could not stay there any longer.

Even if he carried a lot of medicine to restore his internal strength, it would take him fifteen minutes to recover without regulating his breathing. With the energy they have now consumed, they cannot hold on.

The screaming sounded again, and the ice on the underground lake was broken from below.

The big monster appeared again.

In an instant, Lian Li raised his whip and swung it at the big monster.

Originally, he was able to release his internal force, but he couldn't release it very far. Now that his internal force has increased greatly, he can actually hit from a far distance.

The moment he swung the whip, one could vaguely see a silver afterimage hitting the monster's body heavily.

The movement of the big monster was blocked by him, and at that moment, Yun Huizhou successfully cut off the stem of the real lotus, and the real lotus was wrapped by his internal force.

It was at this time that he discovered that this real lotus was no longer extremely cold, but could be touched like an ordinary lotus.

The entire shape of the lotus seemed to have fully bloomed, and a red lotus seed condensed inside the lotus pod.

There is only this one lotus seed in the entire lotus.

However, the temperature in the cave continued to drop, even faster.

He looked down and found that the stem that originally supported the lotus was slowly beginning to melt, including all the leaves on the lake.

They all turned snow-white in an instant, and then slowly began to transform into extremely cold mist.

In just a breath of time, Yun Huizhou felt that the temperature here was lower than before.

Even the big monster that could break through the ice directly from the bottom of the water became slow in movement due to the low temperature, so he didn't dare to stay any longer.

The monster could withstand the low temperature with its body, but he and Lian Li couldn't, as they were consuming their internal energy.

He swung his sword at the big monster that was rushing towards him, forcing the monster back, and then landed next to Lian Li.

Yun Huizhou put the scabbard on his back, and Lian Li immediately took out a bag from his body and put the lotus into it.

Without any extra words, the two of them ran towards the passage together.

Behind him, a huge monster was chasing him closely.

For example, the transparent lotus that could easily break the big monster’s defense is gone. In this low-temperature underground lake space, it is impossible for them to kill the big monster below.

Not to mention, the two of them had consumed a huge amount of internal energy, and would never fight if they could just run away.

Yun Huizhou pulled Lian Li and rushed forward frantically in the passage. The two of them had practiced dual cultivation together, so their internal energy could assist each other. Their escape speed was even faster than Yun Huizhou's speed of running at full speed alone.

However, the giant monster had gone completely crazy, and was chasing them no slower than them.

The huge monster was rushing all the way. If the passage had not been solid and frozen, they would have had to dodge the rubble that fell from time to time.

Lian Li took the time to pull out a bottle of internal energy-recovering pills from his arms. He shattered the bottle and grabbed the four pills inside.

He first stuffed one into his mouth and swallowed it, then said to Yun Huizhou: "Yun Huizhou, open your mouth."

As soon as Yun Huizhou opened his mouth, Lian Li popped the pill into his mouth.

He put the other two pills into his sleeve and took another one when the effect of this pill was almost gone.

Since they couldn't sit down and regulate their breathing, the effectiveness of the medicine was greatly reduced. Now they had to resist the cold temperature while running wildly. Their internal energy could not be restored at all, and they could only slightly slow down the consumption rate.

When they ran to the exit, Yun Huizhou turned around and slashed at the passage behind.

The entrance of the passage shook and many rocks fell, but it did not collapse completely. However, it was enough to stop the giant monster.

Afterwards, Yun Huizhou pulled Lian Li and rushed out of the passage directly, still using his knife to clear the way. The moment they went out, they saw the horse bandits wandering around.

There was no need to hesitate at all, the two men used their unjoined hands to swing their weapons.

With his powerful internal force and the killing move, the horse bandits who appeared nearby had almost no ability to resist and were killed.

However, the horse bandits who were a little further away escaped. The two men did not dare to stop and kill all the horse bandits who saw them, as the big monster behind them was still chasing them.

The two of them simply identified the direction and first headed towards the direction where they had hidden the supplies.

In the current situation, it is obvious that they will be chased and blocked by horse bandits and big monsters for a while. It will be troublesome if they don’t have any food.

There was a lot of dry food among the supplies. Originally, I thought the bottom of the lake was humid, and I was afraid that if I brought too much dry food, it would get damp.

If they could successfully get the dry food that had been left behind, their escape journey would probably be a little easier.

But if you really can't get it, there is nothing you can do but give up and look for an opportunity to rob the bandits of their supplies.

What’s more troublesome is that they may not necessarily encounter bandits with supplies.

The two of them rushed towards where the things were placed. They had just left the cave entrance and had not run 300 meters when the big monster came out of the cave.

Just then, a horse bandit not far from here heard the noise and came over.

Some of them heard the bandits shouting that there were people here, while others simply heard some noise and came over because two people just jumped out.

These horse bandits who were unaware of the situation subconsciously attacked the moment they saw the big monster.

However, unexpectedly, the big monster seemed not to see these horse bandits and only ran in the direction where Yun Huizhou and Lian Li left.

It will only attack without mercy when someone really blocks its way.

But just such a simple blockage allowed Yun Huizhou and Lian Li to jump a considerable distance.
