But their bodies could not withstand such low temperatures, so they had to leave here quickly.

Jiang Zhi and the others' lips were frozen black and blue, and they were shivering as they hugged their arms.

Xie Fei frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Just when he was hesitant, Zhou Xing squeezed his palm, and then, under the gaze of everyone, walked to the spring mouth without saying a word, "You wait up there."

After saying that, he jumped down. With a splash, water splashed onto the ground and solidified instantly.

"..." Xie Fei pursed his lips tightly, unable to help but worry.

Meng Fuge said beside him: "Don't worry about him, he won't die."

At this moment, Zhou Xing was swimming downstream. There was a separate space and a passage under the bottomless spring. This might be the only way except for the door above.

He moved the water and felt that the water temperature was not as low as above.

We continued downstream but still couldn't find the mechanism to open the door. Maybe the door above couldn't be opened from the inside.

Zhou Xing swam towards the dark passage. Just as he approached, a pair of emerald green eyes opened, like a night pearl in the darkness.

"Hiss~" The snake's tongue came out, revealing a python coiled inside.

Only then did Zhou Xing realize that the passage was occupied by a python. If he didn't get rid of it, the way inside would be blocked.

"Hiss~" The python did not take the initiative to attack him. Its green eyes were full of vigilance. As long as Zhou Xing made any move, it would attack immediately.

Zhou Xing glanced up. He could choose to lure the python away from here and let Xie Fei and the others find an opportunity to enter, but this was not his style.

He took out a long knife, with a stern look on his face, and his eyes fell on the seven-inch position of the python.

"Bang." He broke off a piece of ice from the side and smashed it directly at the python.

The python was enraged. It rushed out of the passage, opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and swung its tail. Zhou Xing jumped up, stepped on the python's tail, stabbed it with the long knife, and chopped it off.

"Hiss!" The python was furious, and the poison on its fangs dripped onto the ground, instantly corroding a hole in the ground.

Zhou Xing turned over and stabbed the python with his long knife, and the python quickly dodged.

Their movements caused the water layer to fluctuate, and the wave reached the spring mouth, creating ripples and waves.

Xie Fei couldn't remain calm anymore. Zhou Xing must have encountered something.

He was about to jump down to help him, but someone held him back and jumped down faster than him. Xie Fei saw Ji Xuanyuan's sleeve, and then he disappeared on the water in an instant.

Xie Fei: “…”

"Ouch." Meng Fuge also poked the water surface at the spring mouth and squinted her eyes and said, "The temperature of this water is higher than the temperature of our bodies."

This sentence seemed to remind Xie Fei, and he quickly said, "Let's go down too."

He felt that his limbs had become much stiffer, not to mention Jiang Zhi and Ming Xia. If they delayed any further, they would all turn into ice sculptures.

"boom."

After they jumped into the water one after another, the coldness in their bodies actually began to recede. To them, this water, which should have been icy cold, was like warm water, which melted their coldness.

There was no sign of Ji Xuanyuan in front.

Xie Fei thought: "I didn't expect that the ancestor could swim so fast."

When they rushed underwater, Ji Xuanyuan had already arrived. He fell down from above and saw Zhou Xing fighting with a python. He threw the long knife in his hand directly at the python's head.

Zhou Xing felt the murderous aura on the weapon and dodged it by slightly turning sideways. Ji Xuanyuan's attack also passed by him.

“…Good job.”

Ji Xuanyuan felt that his tone was angry, and explained coldly: "I have a good aim."

Zhou Xing snorted coldly.

The two of them worked together and their speed was much faster. When Xie Fei and the others came down, the python had been killed and was lying lifeless on the ground under the water layer.

When Zhou Xing saw him coming down, he quickly walked towards him, raised his hands to cover his eyes, and said in a low voice: "There is an exit over there."

Xie Fei was stunned for a moment, not knowing what his action meant. After he finished speaking, he realized belatedly that Zhou Xing still remembered that he was afraid of snakes.

But Xie Fei couldn't control himself.

Zhou Xing's body reeked of blood. Except for Ji Xuanyuan, no one noticed the wound on the back of his shoulder. It was caused by the python's fangs when it was struggling to death. Although it only broke the skin, the python's saliva was corrosive, so that piece of skin was corroded into a bloody mess.

If you look closely, you can see that these injuries are healing automatically.

Zhou Xing covered Xie Fei's eyes, not only because he was afraid of snakes, but more because he didn't want him to discover his injuries.

Xie Fei was covered with his eyes and half-carried to the entrance. He heard Ji Xuanyuan say, "You can go through here."

"Take a break first." Meng Fuge called them and looked inside the passage. The temperature was suitable and drier than outside, so it could be used as a resting point.

"Auntie is right. Jiang Jiang and the others caught a cold up there. They've consumed too much energy and need to rest." Xie Fei took Zhou Xing's hand away and glanced at the passage. He shared Meng Fuge's idea.

"Okay." Zhou Xing moved his shoulder and the wound there had healed.

They sat against the wall, drank some water and ate something, leaned against each other, and slowly closed their eyes.

Xie Fei leaned on Zhou Xing's shoulder, sleepiness came like a tide, and after falling into complete sleep, he lost all perception of the outside world.

Zhou Xing put his arms around his waist and held him completely in his arms, rubbing his chin against the top of his head.

Everyone was wet. Meng Fuge took out a prop that looked like a stove from the package. It emitted a warm yellow light and the temperature was not high, but a gust of warm wind blew and their clothes dried instantly.

Zhou Xing glanced at her, as if asking why she didn't take it out while she was still there.

Meng Fuge whispered: "This thing can't keep you warm."

……

"Mother, what are your next plans?" Zhou Xing asked her.

Meng Fuge pointed at Ji Xuanyuan and said, "Ask him."

Zhou Xing looked at Ji Xuanyuan again, and Ji Xuanyuan glanced at Xie Fei in his arms. After a long while, he slowly said, "I'll tell you when we reach the tenth level."

He said it lightly. Zhou Xing frowned in displeasure. Just when he was about to speak, Xie Fei shrank in his arms. He stopped talking, pursed his thin lips, and looked at Ji Xuanyuan with a warning look.

Ji Xuanyuan understood his concerns and explained in a low voice: "It has nothing to do with him, don't worry, I won't hurt him."

"Hmm..." Xie Fei murmured in his sleep. Judging from his slightly wrinkled brows, he might not have slept very well.

"Why did you come here?" Zhou Xing patted Xie Fei's back gently, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep, but his eyes were not as gentle as his actions, instead they were filled with a bit of scrutiny.
