Although there is no natural light around, but after using the Ziyang Pupil, it can be clearly discovered that this is an ice cave! With a night vision range of less than 20 feet away, he suddenly couldn't see beyond.
Qi Ying took a step forward. The ice under his feet was slippery. He had to gather his energy to stand firm on his feet. He raised his head and looked up, but found that he could not see the end.
The air inside the ice cave was cold, and Qi Ying's outer robe quickly formed a layer of frost.
"Is this the hollow part of the mountain?"
After a cursory look around, Qi Ying began to walk forward.
Where there is a vision, there must be a treasure!
Even if the dragon vein is not here, there must be some good treasures.
Qi Ying walked very slowly, scanning the surroundings carefully with every step he took. After walking out for seven or eight feet, the ice surface was no longer completely smooth, but rather uneven, with many granular bumps. You can also feel a tingling feeling through the boots.
But there's still nothing too strange about it.
only.
The further we walked in, the colder it became indeed. It was three points colder than when we were outside the ice cave.
suddenly.
Whoosh!
It seemed as if another shadow flashed in front of him. From the moment it appeared to the moment it disappeared, there was not even half a breath of time. The speed was too fast. After Qi Ying was startled by its sudden appearance, he reacted and wanted to catch up, but he no longer knew where it was going.
"It's still the same thing!"
Qi Ying guessed that it should be some kind of monster.
Being able to survive in such an environment and possess incredible speed means that the level will not be low.
and.
It just appeared but didn't attack him, so there shouldn't be any danger.
Generally speaking, special monsters are always accompanied by special treasures. In a cold ice cave, there may be some kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure growing.
"If I can find treasures from heaven and earth, it will be very helpful to my practice!"
Heavenly materials and earthly treasures contain the true dragon's energy. Although it cannot help people directly improve their qualifications like dragon veins, it can assist practice, purify the true energy or spiritual power in the body, and increase the speed of practice.
Moreover, natural materials and earthly treasures can often only survive in places with special conditions. Since they can hardly be cultivated artificially, any kind of natural materials and earthly treasures have a price but no market.
Even if it is of no use to you after you get it, you can still sell it for a sky-high price outside! Or exchange for massive training resources.
Thinking of this, Qi Ying couldn't help but speed up his pace.
After walking another ten feet away, Qi Ying could finally see something beyond the ice. There was a blurry black shadow about twenty feet away, like a tree.
"A tree that can grow in a dark, cold place without sunlight is extraordinary!"
Qi Ying quickly rushed to the front of the black shadow.
"really!"
I finally saw the whole thing, and saw that it was a tree with a black trunk and green leaves. At the same time, there were small grape-like fruits growing on the tree, but they were not in clusters. Instead, they grow singly, and the color is also cyan, even a little purple.
Qi Ying tried to touch the tree trunk.
"Hiss..."
When his fingers just touched the tree trunk, Qi Ying retracted his fingers like an electric shock, took a breath of cold air, and his face suddenly changed: "It's so cold!"
Taking a look at the index finger of his right hand, Qi Ying found that it was frozen solid. He immediately mobilized his true energy to gather on his finger, and then he recovered with a gurgling warmth flowing through it.
"What kind of tree is it? It's so powerful!"
Qi Ying was a little surprised.
With such a tree, if the trunk is made into a weapon and hit on people, even a spiritual martial artist will be frozen instantly if they have no defense, right
That’s even better!
Yin!
Qi Ying drew out his purple sword and prepared to cut off a branch to see if the branch would still have this freezing effect after it was separated from the body.
Just as he was raising his sword to kill.
"Squeak!"
There was a cry from the branches and leaves of the black tree, and then a black shadow jumped out from among the green leaves.
"what?"
Qi Ying immediately filled his whole body with zhenqi, and the zhenqi shield gathered together to prepare for possible sudden attacks.
But nothing dangerous happened next. Qi Ying opened his eyes wide and looked at the thing in front of him - it was something similar to a mouse, but also a bit like a squirrel. The body and tail were like a mouse, and the head was like a squirrel. It has big hands, snow-silver fur, a pair of small black eyes that look slightly sneaky, and a slender tail.
It fell on the ground and was gnawing on a purple fruit with relish.
One fruit was quickly eaten by it.
The little thing's performance shocked Qi Ying.
After it finished chewing the fruit, it actually picked up the core. Holding the core, it raised its head and stared at Qi Ying with a very human look. It opened its mouth slightly and licked its lips with its tongue. As if to say: "This fruit is delicious!"
"The little thing is so cute... I'll give it a try."
Qi Ying reached out to touch the fruit on the tree, put down the purple sword, stood on tiptoe, and reached for the nearest branch, intending to pick a fruit to taste.
"Zhizhi."
The little thing screamed eagerly.
Qi Ying didn't know what it meant and ignored it. However, the moment his fingers touched the fruit, he once again felt the biting chill from before. He shivered and took his hand back, activating his true energy to resolve the chill.
"I don't believe I can't pick you off!"
Qi Ying's hand was enveloped with a burst of energy and he went to pick it again.
The moment the fingers covered with purple energy touched the fruit.
However, he saw that the fruit immediately melted away like melted ice when it came into contact with the true energy. It turned into a puddle of cyan liquid and fell to the ground, quickly turning into a piece of ice.
"What a strange fruit!"
Qi Ying raised his sword and struck out with one strike.
Crack!
Qi Ying peeled off a small section of the branch together with the leaves and fruits on it.
Gududu!
But after the branch fell to the ground, it melted just like the fruit that touched the Qi, but not as fast as the fruit before. It took about ten breaths to turn into ice water, and then turned into a layer of ice. Thin ice.
"Well."
Qi Ying was speechless.
It seems that the things on this tree will turn into water as long as they are away from the tree itself or come into contact with the true energy
really weird.
At this time.
The little silver thing on the ground suddenly turned into a black shadow and jumped up to the tree. It climbed up a branch and pulled the fruit off the tree with a pair of small claws.
Immediately afterwards.
The little thing held the fruit, kicked off a pair of hind legs on the branch, rose into the air, and landed on Qi Ying's shoulders like a flying squirrel.
"Squeak!"
The little thing held the fruit in both hands and brought it to Qi Ying's mouth, but he couldn't reach it.
"Ah."
Qi Ying felt that this little thing was more and more cute. She reached over her right shoulder with her left hand and held the little thing in her hand: "So you can only pick the fruits on the tree... Do you want to treat me to some?"
"Squeak!"
The little thing seemed to understand Qi Ying's words and nodded repeatedly.
