First of all, whether this monster has an inner elixir or not is just a legend.
Secondly, with the ancient bronze sword in his hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to dig it out until next year.
Another thing is that even if he really dug up the inner elixir, it would be of little use to him, and he had never heard that it could be eaten.
Even if he could eat it, Ning Beichen couldn't eat it because he was worried that he would be poisoned or even turn into a monster.
So Ning Beichen gave up this idea, not to mention that this monster could be said to be evenly matched with him. Out of respect for his opponent, Ning Beichen did not want to dismember him after death.
If it were just a beast, Ning Beichen might not have any psychological burden, but the monster in front of him obviously behaved 70% the same as humans.
However, Ning Beichen could not desecrate the corpse of the monster, but he still collected some scales from the monsters. The scales could withstand his many attacks and were considered treasures in Ning Beichen's eyes.
Ning Beichen was not greedy. He collected enough scales to make several sets of human inner armor and stopped. Then he sat down under the monster's belly and began to heal his wounds and restore his internal strength.
James, who was in the camp at this time, had been waiting for Ning Beichen to return, but he waited and waited. Two hours had passed, and Ning Beichen was still missing.
"Could it be..."
The more James thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more scared he became, the more bad thoughts he had.
Otherwise, why didn't Ning Beichen come back for more than two hours?
Moreover, it was late at night, it was hard to see outside, and there were avalanches all around, so James was very worried that something had happened to Ning Beichen.
But he didn't have Ning Beichen's ability. There was still an avalanche outside, and he didn't dare to leave the camp. He couldn't do anything except keep praying that Ning Beichen would be fine.
The dark night was very uncomfortable. James was cold and scared. He got into his sleeping bag and shivered with his eyes open and waited. Whenever he heard a sound, he would get up immediately to check, only to find that it was just the sound made by the wind and snow.
In just a few hours, James lived like a year, and finally made it to dawn. James walked out of the camp, but he saw that the surroundings of the camp had changed drastically, and even the original road was gone.
Last night's heavy avalanche covered the entire road they came up on. Looking around, everything was covered with white snow.
James turned his head and looked down again, and his heart was even more frightened because there was a slope at the bottom of the camp with a drop of at least 500 meters.
And this slope is very steep, basically close to 80 degrees, which is equivalent to a cliff. Once it falls, it is estimated that even the body will not be found.
This camp has become a dead end with no way out, but it is precisely because Ning Beichen found this safe place to use as a camp, otherwise, the avalanche last night would have destroyed the camp.
"Ning Beichen..."
James couldn't leave the camp. The only thing he could do was to call Ning Beichen's name loudly inside the camp.
It's a pity that James's throat was hoarse from shouting, and there was still no sign of Ning Beichen.
At this time, Ning Beichen was still at the bottom of the abyss, looking up at the smooth ice wall, unable to do anything.
His injuries had recovered a lot and his internal strength had been replenished. However, after daylight, he discovered that the rock walls on both sides of the abyss had now turned into ice walls after a night.
If it were a rock wall, Ning Beichen could consider using Qinggong to go up, but if it were an ice wall, it would be ten times more difficult.
It's not that Ning Beichen didn't try. From morning to now, he has tried five or six times, and every time he fell off because the ice wall was too slippery.
Even if Ning Beichen had an ancient bronze sword in his hand, it would be useless. Without a point of leverage, even with the ancient bronze sword, Ning Beichen would not be able to get out smoothly.
They say it's an abyss, but here it's more than a thousand feet, and even Ning Beichen can't do anything about it.
Since he could not get out of the abyss now, Ning Beichen could only give up temporarily and see if the ice walls would melt by noon. If the ice walls melted and exposed the rock walls, then he would have a chance to get out.
So Ning Beichen simply started exploring the abyss.
Ning Beichen didn't want to eat the monster's body anyway, but his food and water were in the camp, so Ning Beichen could only grab a handful of snow and stuff it into his mouth to quench his thirst.
As for whether his mouth will be frostbitten, Ning Beichen is not too worried. After all, he is also a practitioner of Prajna Golden Body.
After Ning Beichen took a few mouthfuls of snow, he started walking under the abyss.
But the bottom of this abyss is almost covered with ice and snow. It is even colder and more difficult than outside, because if you take a careful step, you will slip.
And with the ice and snow environment below, nothing can survive in it.
Ning Beichen walked along the slippery ice and snow road for about several kilometers until he reached the end of the abyss but found nothing.
Then Ning Beichen walked back and explored in another direction of the abyss.
The other direction is almost the same as the place explored before.
Ning Beichen looked a little disappointed when he reached the end.
Just as he was returning, a piece of ice suddenly broke apart under his feet, and Ning Beichen fell into a slippery vertical hole.
Ning Beichen hurriedly tried to support his body with his hands, but the cave wall was as smooth as a lens. As Ning Beichen exerted force, his descent would become faster.
Soon Ning Beichen experienced the feeling of riding a roller coaster. He quickly slid down the smooth ice cave, and there were many twists and turns along the way. It made him dizzy and he had no idea where he was now.
This decline process lasted about twenty minutes.
Ning Beichen dived out from a high place, and then fell into an icy lake inside the cave with a splash.
Ning Beichen smashed the ice on the upper layer of the ice lake and fell into the water.
The bitingly cold water suddenly turned Ning Beichen into a popsicle, and his brows and hair were frozen.
Ning Beichen fought hard to break through the ice above his head, got out of the bone-chilling lake water, quickly found the lake and climbed up.
As soon as he landed on the shore, Ning Beichen was so tired that he no longer wanted to move, but it was not possible to move because even the clothes on his body were freezing and hardening.
Ning Beichen quickly did a set of stretching exercises. Only after all the frost on his clothes was shaken off did he have the intention to check the situation in the cave.
Now it's not that Ning Beichen doesn't want to go out, it's that he can't go out at all.
Ning Beichen untied the box tied behind his back and took out a spare set of clothes to change into. Only then did he feel better.
