At some point, the snow lotus petal floating next to Xiao Zhi turned into a human face again, looking at Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
After eating and drinking until now, he had drunk a lot of wine, his face was slightly red, and he was already a little tipsy.
Mainly, the fruit wine given to him by Venerable Li Yuan was indeed delicious. Xiao Zhi, who was not very used to drinking in the real world, began to fall in love with the taste as he drank.
The time for a cup of tea passed quickly.
"Here we come!" Li Kuo, the demon demon floating in the air like a ghost, shouted.
A few breaths later, a humanoid figure made entirely of crystal ice flew up from the foot of the mountain, dragging out a series of afterimages. Soon it flew up to the top of the mountain and stood in Xiao Zhi's ice-built courtyard.
In front of the door.
The light and shadow distorted, and this crystal-clear figure like an ice sculpture took on color and transformed into a handsome man wearing a light blue windbreaker.
This man is none other than Zhenlan Cannian.
Judging from the energy, the strength displayed by Zhenlan Cannian should be in the middle stage of Demon Lord. In the eyes of Xiao Zhi today, this strength is not strong, but it is not particularly weak either.
"Zhenlan, you're here." Xiao Zhi stood up from his stool and went to greet him.
Xiao Zhi showed enough importance to the collaborator in front of him and did not put on any airs.
Soon, Xiao Zhi and Zhen Lan sat opposite each other in the ice courtyard.
"This wine tastes good, would you like a glass?" Xiao Zhi pushed a wine glass filled with fine wine in front of Zhenlan Cannian.
"Okay." Zhenlan nodded sadly.
He picked up the wine glass, raised his head slightly, and drank the wine in one gulp.
After putting down the wine glass, he stood up and said, "Without further delay, let's set off now."
"Okay." Xiao Zhi nodded and stood up.
After getting up, the hint of drunkenness on Xiao Zhi's face disappeared in the blink of an eye, his face returned to normal, and his eyes were as bright as stars.
For warrior monks, sobering up is too simple. A slight flow of true energy or true energy in the body can dispel the drunkenness and regain consciousness in an instant.
Zhen Lan's remnant figure lost its color in the blink of an eye and turned into crystal clear ice crystals. It flashed out of the courtyard and turned into an afterimage. It ran and jumped quickly and went down the mountain in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Zhi's figure followed closely behind, also like an afterimage, but giving people the feeling of strolling in a leisurely garden.
This was indeed a leisurely stroll. With his current level of cultivation, it was really easy to keep up with Zhenlan Cannian's pace.
Relaxed and happy.
While running behind Zhenlan Cannian, Xiao Zhi sent a message to Zhenlan Cannian and asked: "Zhenlan, do you know where the ice glutton is?"
Zhenlan's residual thoughts sent a voice message and replied: "I don't know, but I know the place where the ice glutton last appeared. It shouldn't be far from that place. After I get there, as long as I let out the breath on my body, it will smell me."
My breath will surely come looking for me.”
"I hope so." Xiao Zhi said.
Zhenlan Cannian ran and started to accelerate, dragging a long afterimage behind him. What was a bit surprising was that at such a fast speed, he did not make any sound through the air, and seemed silent.
.
The voice that belonged to Zhenlan's remnants continued to ring in Xiao Zhi's ears: "How confident are you now in dealing with that ice glutton?"
Even though Zhenlan Cannian had accelerated, Xiao Zhi still seemed very relaxed in keeping up with him. His expression was calm and he replied via voice transmission: "If this Ice Taotie is still the same strength as before and has not made any progress, I should be able to deal with it.
There is a 100% certainty.”
He is not lying, but has basis.
When he was still in the late Nascent Soul stage, he had fought against this ice glutton in the actual combat space of the sentient being system, and he already had a very high winning rate at that time.
Now, his cultivation realm has been upgraded from the late Yuanying stage to the peak stage of Yuanying, and his strength has been improved in all aspects. As long as this ice glutton does not have a small universe to explode like the protagonist in the movie, then,
Now he is really confident in dealing with this ice glutton.
"I feel relieved when I hear you say that." Zhenlan's candid voice said: "Don't worry, it won't evolve that easily. It has lived for countless years and has slowly accumulated the strength it is now. If it suddenly
If it could evolve casually, it would already be at the god level, and I would have been devoured by it, so how could I survive until now?"
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he felt that Zhenlan Cannian's words were reasonable, and he was completely relieved and no longer had any worries in his heart.
In this way, after running forward for a while, Zhenlan's residual voice said: "The front is the territory of the dust demon. Let's hide ourselves and avoid the area in front."
As he spoke, the light and shadow around Zhenlan Cannian distorted, and soon, his running, crystal-like body like an ice sculpture disappeared into the air.
Xiao Zhi has maintained the [King Kong Dazzling] magical power from beginning to end, with golden light shining in his eyes.
In his field of vision, Zhenlan Cannian's figure has not completely disappeared. If you look carefully, you can still vaguely see a faint outline of a humanoid flying forward at a very low altitude.
With a thought in his mind, Xiao Zhi also used the magical power of [divine invisibility], and his figure turned into nothing in the blink of an eye and also disappeared into the air.
"How long will it take to get to that place?" Xiao Zhi had transformed into a golden roc and was flying close to the ground. He asked Zhenlan Cannian, who was leading the way, and asked again.
"It won't take long, we'll be there in about a quarter of an hour." Zhenlan's voice said with regret.
"Does that ice glutton have any means of escaping or saving its life?" Xiao Zhi continued to ask via voice transmission.
This must be understood clearly. If the Ice Taotie has any means of escaping, it would be bad if someone accidentally escapes from it during the battle.
He had previously simulated an ice glutton in the actual combat space of the sentient being system, but the ice glutton simulated by the sentient being system was a fool who would not run away and would fight to the death. Therefore, Xiao Zhi
Although I had blasted this ice glutton many times in the actual combat space of the sentient system, I don't know if this ice glutton had any means of saving its life.
However, I think there should be some. After all, this ice glutton has lived and been arrogant for so long in this cold mountainous area. It would be impossible to do this if it had no means of escape.
Not to mention anything else, just say that in the recent period, it was attacked by the undead demon phoenix and the dust demon, and was severely injured. If it had not had some means to save its life, it would have died at that time.
The voice belonging to Zhenlan's cannian was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know."
"You don't even know this?"
The voice belonging to Zhen Lan said with regret: "I can't defeat it. I'm always the one being hunted. How could I know this?"
This makes perfect sense... Xiao Zhi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The voice belonging to Zhen Lan's residual thoughts continued: "Don't worry, I have already thought of this. In order to avoid any mistakes, I think it is safer to lead this ice glutton to that place first and then take action against it."
"Are you talking about the place that is enough to trap Bing Taotie?"
"Yes, this is the place." Zhenlan's residual voice said: "When the time comes, I will use myself as bait to lure the Ice Taotie there. When we get to the place, you will be responsible for killing the Ice Taotie, and I will be responsible for breaking the formation.
"
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Breaking the formation? Is that a formation?"
Zhenlan's residual voice said: "Yes, that is a trap, a trap left over from countless years ago. It has long been broken, but it still has a certain effect. It should trap the ice glutton."
It's enough."
Xiao Zhi was a little worried and said: "Are you sure you can break the formation? Don't kill Bing Taotie then, but we are trapped in it and can't get out. That would be embarrassing."
"Don't forget, my true self is a demon god who knows everything." Zhenlan's residual voice said: "Besides, this trapped formation has long been dilapidated and rotten, and there are loopholes everywhere. Even if the formation is not broken, it will still be broken."
We cannot trap powerful people like Bing Taotie and you for a long time. As long as you are given enough time, you can force your way out..."
When saying this, Zhenlan Cannian dodged, avoided the air in front, and continued to fly forward.
Xiao Zhi also dodged and avoided the air in front of him.
In his field of vision, in the air in front of him, there was a vague light blue shadow. This was an extremely cold area. Xiao Zhi could not spy on it before. Now his cultivation level has improved.
When you reach the peak of Nascent Soul, you can vaguely see it.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly.
Light and shadow flickered, Zhenlan Cannian released his invisibility, and his figure emerged from the air, standing halfway up a huge iceberg.
There was ice blue dust lingering around him.
Ten miles away from him, Xiao Zhi maintained his state of invisibility and stood on the top of another huge iceberg, his eyes glowing with golden light as he looked at the situation on Zhenlan Cannian's side from afar.
Next to Xiao Zhi, the ghost-like demon Li Kuo floated, and the demon Li Kuo was also paying attention to Zhenlan Cannian's situation.
Behind Xiao Zhi, there floated a terrifying body with three heads and eight arms and red skin.
The Dharma of the Great Powerful Heavenly King has been summoned by Xiao Zhi. At this time, he is holding a black umbrella, covering both Xiao Zhi and the demon Li Kuo.
When he encountered the Ice Taotie before, Xiao Zhi had already tried it. In this state, his invisibility effect was almost impossible, and it was impossible for the Ice Taotie to detect his traces.
In this way, after waiting quietly for almost a minute, under Xiao Zhi's gaze, Zhenlan, who was standing halfway up the mountain, collected the icy blue dust lingering around him, and his body quickly faded, turning into a crystal clear body.
A humanoid figure like an ice sculpture.
This crystal-clear humanoid figure, like an ice sculpture, jumped down from the mountainside, ran and jumped, and disappeared into the wind and snow in the distance.
"We'll follow."
Xiao Zhi's floating figure also began to fly forward, lingering far behind Zhenlan Cannian.
"Tell me, will that ice glutton be lured out?" Xiao Zhi asked the demon Li Kuo through his thoughts.
"I don't know." Li Kuo responded: "Everything is just one-sided words from Zhenlan. We know too little."
I have never had a good impression of Zhenlan Cannian and the Demon Demon Li Kuo.
Xiao Zhi sighed slightly in his heart and said, "I hope everything goes well."
He is very busy and has a lot of things to do, but he doesn't want to spend all his time on this ice glutton.
If it takes three to five days, he can still accept it.
It would be a pain in the ass if he wasted ten days and a half of his time on this matter.
Time passed by minute by minute, and before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed.
In Xiao Zhi's field of vision, the transparent human figure like an ice sculpture has passed through huge icebergs one after another, and is still moving slowly on the ground at a speed slightly exceeding the speed of sound.
.
‘He is quite calm.’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
In this way, about half an hour passed.
When Xiao Zhi was about to take out the snow lotus petal from the storage ring and ask Zhenlan Cannian about the situation, the demon Li Kuo sent a message to him through his mind: "It's the ice glutton! It has appeared!"
"Where is it?" Xiao Zhi couldn't help but perked up and asked through voice transmission with his mind.
"There, on an iceberg about ten miles behind us!" the demon Li Kuo replied, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
Xiao Zhi turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by the demon Li Kuo.
His eyes suddenly condensed.
Wherever he looked, there was a huge iceberg near the top of the mountain. A slender animal-shaped figure, with a pair of front paws on an ice rock, was facing the biting cold wind, looking down from a high position and looking into the distance.
.
This beast is less than one foot long, and its entire body seems to be carved out of light blue ice crystals. It has a beast body and a human face. It is Xiao Zhi’s hunting target this time—ice glutton!
"Compared to before, this Ice Taotie has become much smaller and its aura has become much weaker. It must be due to a serious injury that has not yet healed." The demon Li Kuo sent a message to Xiao Zhi through his mind.
"It's better this way." Xiao Zhi replied through his mind: "In this case, there will be no more suspense. After solving it, we will leave here and go to Jiuyou Jueyu to rescue Ji Dao Master.
"
Xiao Zhi's tone seemed quite relaxed.
As a peak Nascent Soul monk, he has also activated the [Dazzling Diamond] supernatural power, and his perception is only more acute than that of the Demon Demon Li Kuo.
What the demon Li Kuo could observe, he could naturally observe, and he could also see that this ice glutton was relatively weak and was no longer in its peak condition.
One person and one demon are communicating these moments through their thoughts.
The ice glutton ten miles away seemed to sense something. It withdrew its sight from a distance, turned its head, and looked towards the airspace where Xiao Zhi was floating.
