Volume Two, Chapter 67, The Journey of the Carriage (9)

The next night, a pillar similar to the night color appeared on the top of the flying carriage, leading straight to the cold wind layer of the canyon above. A layer of light thin ice made the slender pillar appear faintly in the night color.

After repeated confirmation, Shi Leiyin finally confirmed that due to the cold wind in the canyon, the roof of the carriage at night was not within the warning range of the coachmen. At the same time, due to the cold wind in the canyon, most of the moonlight was blocked. He only needed to change the color slightly to achieve the effect of integrating into the night.

So, Shi Leiyin, who instinctively desires to absorb ice elements and wants to further acquire ice element abilities, ventured to put one of his tentacles into the cold wind layer of the canyon at night.

Because he had been exposed to the cold wind of the canyon, Shi Leiyin made some special treatments on his tentacle, first to prevent the tentacle from being frozen and cracked due to the excessively strong invasion of ice elements. Shi Leiyin strengthened the resistance of the ice element of the tentacle to the limit that he could control. At the same time, he also designed a double-layer structure, which entangled part of the air in the middle of the two limbs like a thermos cup, and this part of the air was also warmed by the Shi Leiyin body located in the car by the heat of the fire element stone.

The tentacle itself is made into a slightly gray translucent form based on the night outside. Slime's body was originally transparent, but after nearly a thousand compressions of the body, it has changed closer to the color of sapphire. This is the result of high compression of internal energy and tissues. It is very difficult to easily change back to its original transparent shape, so the strength of the tentacles has been reduced a lot. Fortunately, in order to make the color light gray, Slime mixed some things in the tentacles with similar components to the wood of the carriage shell into the tentacles, which allows the tentacles to enter the cold wind layer of the canyon without being easily blown down or blown off.

In fact, Shi Leiyin felt that the wood of the carriage shell was very strange when he obtained the sample. Just a little sample, Shi Leiyin's fusion organ obtained complete information, as if every cell of this wood had all the information of the whole tree. Although it was a bit strange, because in the past, there were also saying that the leaves of trees were equal to the appearance of the tree growing, and some plants could directly fold down branches and other parts for insertion, so Shi Leiyin was not very curious about this phenomenon. In addition, the hardness of this tree also made Shi Leiyin sigh, which was as if Shi Leiyin thought at the beginning.

Different, this feeling is like a hard wood as hard as steel. It has no metal component at all in the composition and even the cell level. It only relies on the molecular arrangement of the cell wall to make the wood itself hard to a certain extent. At the same time, Shi Leiyin found some residual magic reactions in the cell structure of these woods, which are very similar to the magic element of the soil but are more active. Shi Leiyin believes that this should be a magic element of plant nature, but it has never appeared on any trees that Shi Leiyin has come into contact with. Moreover, the magic reaction remaining on wood that has completely lost its vitality is not enough for Shi Leiyin to obtain more clues.

The cold wind in the canyon at night is not as strong as Shi Leiyin imagined. Most of the cold winds blowing through tentacles are not as strong as those that pass through the carriage during the day, but the frequency is very high, and the interval between each cold wind is definitely only two seconds. With this almost uninterrupted blowing frequency alone, Shi Leiyin can understand why the cold wind in the canyon can dominate the entire cold wind can't be rushed at night. It's just that the cold wind frequency in the most edge area is so high, let alone where there are higher places, and the intensity of the cold wind there is definitely far farther than where Shi Leiyin comes into contact.

Through the tentacle medium, the crystals of the ice element in the canyon's cold wind were continuously absorbed to the body of Shi Leiyin in the carriage, and were then completely decomposed and absorbed. What made Shi Leiyin feel strange was that although with the increase in the amount of absorption, the power of the ice element that can be manipulated and used in the body increased greatly, and there was even a tendency to catch wind and thunder, he still could not obtain the complete composition of the ice element, and he could not directly use his own magic to imitate and create ice elements. When he absorbed the wind spirit stone and the heart of lightning, his body had perfectly imitated and created these two elements when he absorbed the amount of wind spirit stone and the heart of lightning.

Something must have had a problem, or something was ignored. There was still some time before dawn, and Shi Leiyin did not stop absorbing the ice element. Although he encountered restrictions on the composition of the ice element, the body's resistance to the ice element was getting higher and higher due to the large amount of absorption and fusing ice element. According to Shi Leiyin's own estimate, if this resistance increase can continue, he could reach the level of freezing immunity before dawn.

However, obviously, the reality would not be as good as expected. Shi Leiyin's freezing resistance also stagnated after it rose to a certain level. Although the cold wind in the canyon could no longer cause any harm to his body, it could still freeze his body slightly. Shi Leiyin knew that this had something to do with his failure to fully obtain the composition of the ice element.

Shi Leiyin absorbed a large amount of ice elements there to improve his freezing immunity. The other people in the carriage were also unlucky. The open roof window of the carriage was not a big problem. After all, the cold wind in the canyon could not blow in. However, during the process of absorbing the ice elements, Shi Leiyin inevitably leaked a large amount of cold air. In addition to the heat of the fire element stone, he absorbed the heat of the fire element stone to prevent his tentacles from being frozen. The corner of the carriage occupied by Shi Leiyin was thinly formed with frost. How big is this carriage? In addition to the quiet water that Shi Leiyin enjoyed, the remaining three were only hugged and shrank in the corner farthest from Shi Leiyin, wrapping all the bedding blankets on his body, which felt that it blocked the cold air.

This situation began to improve when Shi Leiyin's ice element resistance stopped growing. At this time, Shi Leiyin continued to absorb ice elements not to decompose and gain abilities, but simply stored energy in his body. In the past, when he absorbed Feng Ling Stone, he directly converted the wind elements in the Feng Ling Stone into pure energy that his body could use. However, this time, because he could not use his own energy to simulate ice elements, Shi Leiyin simply compressed the ice element crystal in his body to compress and store all the absorbed ice element energy. Originally, the ice element in the cold wind in the canyon existed in the form of tiny crystals, so he was compressed and combined by Shi Leiyin without any resistance.

Shi Leiyin began to absorb energy purely, and the cold air generated by decomposition and fusion dropped sharply. On the other hand, he sat next to Shi Leiyin and relied on himself to absorb the cold air to prevent the cold air from freezing the remaining three people. It also seemed that he had broken through a certain critical point at the same time, and the degree of absorption of cold air was greatly increased. Shuixing's crystal clear body had a trace of solidity, which was no longer so gentle.
