The huge footprints will be covered with snowflakes, and you won't be able to spot them without looking carefully. The footprints look similar to those of ordinary people, but their size is three times that of an average adult!
Finally, there are some clues. You should be able to find something if you follow the footprints. Shi Lei refreshed himself and hurriedly followed the traces. It would be a tragedy if the footprints were completely covered by snow. He turned left and right and walked quickly for half an hour.
Finally, we stopped under a boulder. There was a hole at the bottom of the boulder, and the snow in front of the hole had been trampled very solidly. This should be the cave of a monster.
Shi Lei didn't intend to take the initiative to provoke them. Since the cave is here, if the ice lotus is guarding it, then the ice lotus should be not far away. You can look for it first. Taking action now is not the first choice.
After leaving the entrance of the cave for a cup of tea, Shi Lei discovered that the snow near a cliff was well trampled. Even though the surface was covered with a thin layer of snow, the feeling under his feet told him that it was not wrong, so the surrounding area was covered with snow.
It means that there are monsters here often. It is either a cave of monsters or there is a magical medicine. The possibility of the latter is high.
Shi Lei observed the terrain and found that there was a downhill slope not far away. There was a patch of dead trees at the bottom of the slope. At this time, Shi Lei saw plants for the first time on the top of the mountain. The bare trees were more than fifty meters high.
Standing strong in the white and cold world, it seems to be staring at the cliff not far from the woods.
"How come there are such tall trees here? It's totally against common sense." After approaching, he slapped the thick tree trunk with his palm, "What kind of tree is this? It's as hard as steel!" Shi Lei said with a smack of his tongue.
There are about ninety-nine trees in this forest, similar in size and height, with almost no branches. I don’t know if it is originally like this or because of the erosion of time. These trees should have been dead for many years. There are not even leaves found nearby, but
It can still stand upright, I have to admire the resilience of this tree!
Nothing was found on the tree, so Shi Lei had no choice but to look for ice lotus nearby. He walked forward for a while and found that the road was not stepped on. "It seems that it is nearby. Let's go back and look for it. Whether it is ice lotus or not, today I
I have to find something!" The long search seemed to have made Shi Lei more energetic, and he seemed to be determined not to go back until he found it.
"Ice and Snow Lotus should be in an extremely cold place. It is unlikely to be on the surface of a mountain, because there is always sunshine, which should have an impact on it. Then it is more likely to be in a cave, but there is a possibility of a cave in the nearby terrain.
It's not big. There seems to be nothing else except this forest and the not-so-steep cliff. The cliff... Could it be..." Shi Lei's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is the cave under the woods? No matter what, first find a way to get out from under the cliff.
Go down and have a look.”
Having made up his mind, Shi Lei no longer hesitated, chose a rock wall with more footholds, and climbed down. Although the cliff was not very steep, because part of the rock wall was covered with ice, he would fall if he was not careful.
Shi Lei spent a lot of effort to reach a larger foothold in the middle of the cliff, but his back was already wet with cold sweat.
After taking a few deep breaths, Shi Lei continued to walk down. The further down he went, the more ice there was on the rock wall. There was almost no foothold under his feet, and no sign of ice lotus or ice marrow was found. "We must find a way to find one."
Eat some solid food, meditate and rest for a while. Otherwise, if you don't find the ice marrow, you will lose your strength and fall off the cliff." Thinking of this, Shi Lei circulated his Qi, clasped the rock tightly with his left hand, and expanded his right hand to twice the size for careful testing.
Beating the rock wall.
Slowly, as the ice broke apart, Shi Lei increased his strength and hit the rock. Finally, half an hour later, Shi Lei opened a cave that only allowed one person to enter.
Shi Lei wiped the cold sweat from his head and planned to rest here for a while, so he simply ate some dry food and then meditated to rest. Maybe he was too tired for several days in a row, and after a few weeks of circulating Qi, Shi Lei actually fell asleep!
"There is something strange in this cliff, and there is a trace of ancient atmosphere. The trees before were probably black ice iron trees. How come there are so many of them? Could it be..." At this time, Mo Qilin woke up faintly, "Let this kid...
I'll go in and have a look, maybe I'll have an opportunity."
"Wake up and get to work!" Mo Qilin shouted in Shi Lei's mind.
"Ah? What are you doing? You scared me to death!" Shi Lei said reluctantly. The feeling of being interrupted while sleeping soundly made people crazy.
"There is something weird in this cliff, you use the stone man fist to blast it away!"
"What? You want me to blast away the rock formation? You heard me right. If this rock formation were all solid, wouldn't it be in vain?" Shi Lei questioned a little.
"It's okay if you don't believe in this mythical beast. There should be a cave inside. Don't regret if you miss any treasures in it." Mo Qilin said casually.
Shi Lei's eyes gleamed when he heard that there was a baby. He immediately activated his energy and raised his swollen fist to hit the rock behind him. Since the space was too small now, he was afraid that the reaction force would knock him to the bottom of the cliff, so he had to slowly increase his speed.
As the space became larger and larger, Shi Lei's bombardment became more and more vigorous. The destructive power of the fifth level of the Stoneman Boxing Technique was still considerable.
Boom! The rock on the opposite side fell into a cave together with Shi Lei.
"Ah, it hurts so much. Where is this?" Shi Lei climbed up and looked at the cave, and found that the hole opened was more than three meters above the ground. "Fortunately, it's not very high, otherwise it would have fallen to pieces."
"Why are you so stupid? I told you that there is a cave, so the last punch will be harder." Looking at Shi Lei, who was bruised and swollen after falling, Mo Qilin looked helpless.
"Hey, I'm so addicted to it, I couldn't stop for a while." Shi Lei scratched his head in embarrassment.
"..."
"It's so cold, it feels like ice has penetrated into the bone marrow." Shi Lei couldn't help but shudder. It was a little dark in the cave. Shi Lei fumbled and took out the fire stick and blew it to see clearly.
Through the light, Shi Lei gradually saw the scene inside clearly. The cave was as big as three ordinary rooms. The surroundings and the ground were covered with smooth ice. The top of the cave was more than eight meters high, but the ice on the top of the cave was covered with dense ice.
The roots of the tree! There are no debris on the ground, it looks clean and deserted, but there is a huge pool in the middle. However, there is no water in the pool, only ice. There is a raised platform in the middle of the pool, which is round and half a meter high.
, three meters in diameter.
When I walked to the pool, I discovered that there was a huge ice lotus flower on the edge of the pool in the four directions of east, west, north and south! The flowers were crystal clear, and even the stamens were ice-colored! The flower was nearly 1.5 meters tall, and because the pool was deep, it was nearly 1.5 meters tall.
Two meters, so I haven't seen it before.
"Haha, I haven't found one for several days, but I didn't expect to see four of them this time. Not bad." Shi Lei was happy and planned to pick one.
"Stop! You can't pick these four flowers." Mo Qilin stopped him.
"Why, it took so much trouble to find it!"
"These four ice lotus flowers are at least several thousand years old, and they are evenly distributed in the four directions. They must have their meaning. Moreover, the true energy in this cave is very rich, which is most likely related to them, so don't touch them. The one on the east
There is a derivative nearby, which is at least five hundred years old. If you pick that plant, it is definitely a rare treasure outside."
Shi Lei looked along the east side and found a snow lotus about fifty centimeters high next to the big one. It was much smaller. Although he was very reluctant, what Mo Qilin said must make sense. Shi Lei was not a greedy person, so he was cautious.
Pick it up and put it away.
"It's extremely cold here, there should be ice marrow." Shi Lei asked.
"Ice marrow can only be born after thousands of years of ice-cold pressure from heaven and earth. It is the essence of ice. Although it is cold here, it does not meet the conditions for the growth of ice marrow. Look at the four walls to see if there are any hidden holes.
" Mo Qilin said.
The wall was covered with ice and was as smooth as a mirror, with no gaps visible. If there was another cave in the cave, it might be difficult to find it using ordinary methods. Shi Lei closed his eyes and slowly sensed the surroundings, and suddenly felt a rock.
The wall seemed much colder. I walked over and hit it a few times, and found that it was as hard as steel.
"Interesting, there must be a problem here. There seems to be a powerful restriction here, and it will definitely not be opened with brute force alone." Shi Lei looked at the thick ice, feeling helpless.
"Try dripping your blood in the middle of the rock wall. Some huge restrictions will always have the simplest solution." Mo Qilin's words came to mind.
Shi Lei did as he was told. The moment the blood fell on the ice of the rock wall, the ice seemed to come alive. The blood was quickly sucked into the ice and pulled into a trigram shape. Wow! The two-meter-high ice door opened automatically.
It is a corridor that allows two people to enter at the same time. Stepping into the corridor, the cold atmosphere becomes even stronger, and Shi Lei has to use his true energy to resist the cold. The corridor is about fifteen meters long, and the four walls are still covered with thick layers of ice.
A chill came over my face.
"Is there ice marrow here?" Shi Lei asked.
"The coldness is still not enough. Check the coldness of Youbi." Mo Qilin felt that the ancient aura was getting closer and closer.
"Ah, the cold is so strong. If I don't use my true energy to resist it, I'm afraid my right hand will be frozen to it." The degree of coldness far exceeded Shi Lei's imagination.
"Drip blood on the right jade." Mo Qilin ordered.
"Blood needs to drip again." Shi Lei reluctantly dripped it in.
This time, the blood was not directly sucked in by the ice, but slowly rotated on the ice wall, and finally disappeared. After three breaths, the ice wall slowly opened, and an inner hole appeared in front of you. The inner hole was the size of an ordinary room.
, there are ice crystals on the top of the cave, which reflect the light of the fire crackers and look very bright. There is an ice bed in the middle, and a purple-brown box about one foot long is placed on it. A trace of ancient atmosphere emanates from the box.
"It's too cold here, I can't imagine it." Entering the inner cave, Shi Lei had to speed up the circulation of his true energy, but found that in the cold environment, the true energy circulated slower than usual, "It's so cold! The true energy circulates
The speed is affected."
"There won't be any elixir inside. Can you become an immortal if you eat it? Isn't that right? Xiaohei, Gaga." Shi Lei looked at the box and felt happy.
"What a beautiful thought. If there was any elixir in the world, why would I need to practice hard? Besides, don't call me Xiaohei again!"
"I know, Xiaohei."
"..."
"Can there be ice marrow here? Let's take a look at what's inside the box first." Looking at the box on the ice bed, Shi Lei suddenly had a special feeling, as if there was something inside the box that was attracting him, and he walked toward Zi Zi step by step.
