Junior sister took first place again

After Ning Jiasheng left the cave, she continued to move forward along the valley. Although the wind and snow were still raging, the cold was no longer a problem with the operation of her fire-attributed spiritual power.

Her spiritual consciousness spread out silently like a big net, exploring the surrounding environment.

She could sense the activities of monsters and beasts in the distance, as well as the sporadic auras of other cultivators.

Ning Jiasheng chose to carefully avoid these auras. She didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble as soon as she came in.

After flying at low altitude for more than an hour, Ning Jiasheng entered the depths of a dense forest covered with snow, where he found a boiling open-air hot spring.

The wind howled and snow fell in all directions. The snow on the surface had already reached Ning Jiasheng's knees, but the spring water was still shrouded in mist and steam. On the shore, a circle of exotic flowers and plants grew exceptionally lushly.

It stands abruptly in this world of ice and snow, and has an unparalleled attraction to the monks shivering in the cold wind.

“. . . . . .”

Ning Jiasheng walked to the shore, squatted down and scooped up a handful of water, as if to test the water temperature before preparing to take a dip.

"Ding——"

The sword flashed, and a loud metal collision sound exploded behind her like thunder. The red sword body trembled continuously. It was conceivable how much force this sneak attack used.

Ning Jiasheng swung his sword, turned around and stood up, and saw clearly a ball of something that looked like snow and fog floating in the air.

It looks like a monster but is not a monster. It is a snow monster with intelligence.

Realizing that this human was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined, he froze in mid-air for a moment, pondering a countermeasure.

It’s just because he is not very intelligent and can’t even speak the human language, he hasn’t figured out what to do for a long time.

Ning Jiasheng, on the other hand, was much more relaxed. Considering that she didn't have much time to waste on this thing, she asked first:

"Does a ball of snow also like to take a hot spring bath?"

Don't blame her for being gossipy. That hot spring is not an illusion created by an illusion, it is a real pool of spring water.

Just now she squatted down to wash her hands. The spiritual energy inside was overwhelming and it was indeed very comfortable.

It’s just that this snow monster cast an illusion in the hot spring to lure living beings down, and no one knows what the situation is down there.

Seeing that the snow monster didn't respond for a long time, Ning Jiasheng lost his patience and said, "Your illusion is really too bad——"

A gust of wind blew by, and Ning Jiasheng stood there without moving his clothes at all.

Then she raised her left hand, and a flame suddenly appeared and danced in her palm. She smiled and said, "Would you like to try my illusion? I see you like this high temperature too."

The strong wind suddenly stopped, and Ning Jiasheng seemed to see the bodyless thing shudder, and then some strange fluctuations emanated from its body.

Ning Jiasheng listened for a while before guessing, "You mean there's a fire-attributed treasure down there that you particularly like, but you can't get close to it. So you keep luring those creatures down there to drain the treasure's power."

The snow monster condensed into a vague human shape and nodded frantically.

Ning Jiasheng narrowed his eyes. "Have you ever killed anyone? Even a demon that can transform into a human being counts."

The snow monster nodded hesitantly. The power of that treasure was too strong. He had been guarding it for hundreds of years, and of course many monsters had been thrown into it during this period.

There were also many demons that he could not afford to offend. After accidentally discovering the treasure, they wanted to get it, but none of them escaped and were burned to ashes.

The snow monster hurriedly explained, "I've only encountered the demon race before, but today is the first time I've encountered you humans."

Ning Jiasheng thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Then I'll believe you for now. I'll go down and verify what you said later. If it's true, I won't kill you."

The snow monster was delighted. He was hoping that Ning Jiasheng would go down. He was just another fool who wanted to take away the treasure. Hehe.

As it was thinking, it found itself floating uncontrollably towards the location of the human.

!!!

[Let me go! What are you doing!? ]

Ning Jiasheng trapped it with a barrier and put it into the storage bag at his waist. Then he transformed into a stream of light and jumped into the spring.

【Ahhhhhhhhh——】

When the snow monster saw her action, it screamed wildly. Ning Jiasheng cast a silencing spell and the world became quiet.

The spring water was really hot, and the surface was as hot as boiling water. Ning Jiasheng felt quite comfortable at first.

However, the temperature became higher and higher as she flew deeper. As a cultivator with fire spiritual roots, beads of sweat broke out all over her body. She had no choice but to use hand gestures to strengthen the spiritual power shield around her again.

Finally, when she was almost out of breath from the heat, she finally saw the true appearance of the treasure - a long, incomparably beautiful golden feather.

Thinking in this dark deep water, it emits a hot and bright light, like the halo of the sun.

"What a nice view!"

This was the first time that Ning Jiasheng was dazzled by an object.
