Without the burden of entrustment, the journey through the Snow Demon Valley became relatively easy. However, along the way, we still encountered many monster attacks.
The power of ghost maggots lies in their huge number. Their worthless quantity is enough to kill most of the enemies in the snow mountain area. On the way back, the adventure team still encountered several attacks by ghost maggots, but
What surprised Lin Zheng was that, except for the group of ghost maggots they encountered at the beginning, the ghost maggots that followed seemed to show no signs of being civilized.
Lin Zheng tried to track down another ghost maggot nest, but found that the entire nest was just ordinary ghost maggots. Moreover, in this ghost maggot nest, Lin Zheng did not find a frost crystal orchid, not even a frost crystal grass.
.It seems that the first group of ghost maggots can evolve to that extent. I am afraid that the frost crystal orchid has a lot to do with it. Without the frost crystal orchid to continuously produce frost crystal grass, ordinary ghost maggots want to evolve the basics.
Civilization will take many thousands of years. At that time, it is unclear whether this race can survive.
In addition, in addition to ghost maggots, there are many other life forms in the snowy mountains. Here, even mammoths more than ten meters high can be seen. If a dinosaur or something suddenly ran out, Lin Zheng would not be surprised.
But it seems that dinosaurs couldn't adapt to this cold environment, right?!
In addition to these beasts, avalanches that break out from time to time are also important difficulties that need to be dealt with on this journey. In fact, avalanches are more deadly than encountering beasts. The biggest one broke out during a battle with beasts, and overwhelming snow waves rolled down the valley.
The two sides of the avalanche surged down, burying everyone under the heavy snow. What was even worse was that during the avalanche, heavy snow fell from the sky. Snow is naturally not dangerous, but dense snowflakes will hinder the absorption of spiritual consciousness.
It hindered the extension of Lin Zheng's spiritual consciousness. If Lin Zheng's spiritual consciousness was not strong enough to pull out everyone buried in the snow in time, I am afraid that everyone would have died in the avalanche, and it was the one who rescued everyone.
The price was that Lin Zheng himself was so tired that he slept for a whole day.
With Xun by his side, Lin Zheng slept quite peacefully. If there was any big crisis, Xun could wake him up in time. When he opened his eyes a day later, he saw Brünnhilde's face sleeping soundly.
Then she appeared in Lin Zheng's field of vision. Listening to her purring like a kitten, Lin Zheng couldn't help but smile. After scratching her nose with his hand, he got out of the small nest on the carriage.
It was already approaching noon the next day, and the weather in the valley was not bad. The carriage was slowly advancing on the snow, and Deken was riding a black wolf in front, paying careful attention to the surrounding dynamics.
Noel, who was sitting on the edge of the carriage, first saw Lin Zheng waking up and shouted in surprise: "Siegfried is awake!"
"Shhh!" Lin Zheng made a gesture of silence, looked back at Brünnhilde who was still sleeping, and then said: "Keep your voice down, don't wake this girl up!"
Seeing his energetic appearance, Mondos smiled reassuringly and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, right?"
"No problem!" Lin Zheng moved his arms and said, "I just exhausted my energy too much. I'll be fine after a nap!"
"Anyway, let's try a bottle of this!" With that, Mendos handed a bottle of light red potion to Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng reached out and took the potion. This was the first time he saw Mendos take out this potion. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "What kind of potion is this?"
Mendos smiled when he heard this and said: "The potion I specially prepared for myself before can restore my lost energy after taking it. If it weren't for the help of this thing, I wouldn't have the energy to read so many books on potion!"
This surprised Lin Zheng. Even in the developed immortal civilization, things that restore spiritual power are rare and often very expensive. Most monks can't afford it, but Mondos actually thought about it himself.
A potion to restore mental strength?! This is amazing!
After coming back to his senses, Lin Zheng immediately opened the potion. He had to try it to see how effective it was! He raised his head and drank a small bottle of potion, then smashed it in his mouth, which was a bit like
Cherry flavor, it tastes pretty good! As the potion entered his stomach, the next moment, Lin Zheng felt that his slightly hazy mind was completely awake, and his eyes lit up. Judging from the effect of this potion on him, it was enough to make a person
An ordinary cultivator at rank seven has recovered half of his mental power. This is because Mundos masters more profound potion techniques. If his skills are further improved, the effect of this potion will be even higher!
"Mundos, this is an amazing invention!" Lin Zheng exclaimed while holding the empty bottle.
Hearing this, everyone's faces couldn't help but show a look of surprise. Deken, who came riding a black wolf, said: "We have drank this medicine before, and it seems that it has no great use except for refreshing people."
ah?"
"No, no, no!" Lin Zheng shook his head and said, "This thing is very useful. When you master the spiritual consciousness in the future, you will know whether to use it in combat or not. The reaction speed is completely different. Once you have the spiritual consciousness,
If you use it too much, it will cause a huge loss of mental energy. If you are fighting against an equally powerful enemy, if you can recover the lost mental energy at this time, you will undoubtedly gain a huge advantage. Sometimes, like this
A small difference is enough to determine the outcome!"
Under the surprised expressions of Mondos and others, Lin Zheng hesitated for a moment, then took out a book from his bag, gave it to Mondos and said: "This is a book that records advanced pharmacy.
, and contains the formulas of some potions, I will exchange this with you for the formula of the potion!" Originally, Lin Zheng was still thinking about how to give the book to Mondos without leaving a trace, but now he doesn't need it anymore and just uses it in exchange.
!
When Mendos heard this, he quickly shook his head and said: "What are you talking about, Siegfried?! If you need the formula of this potion, I will just give it to you. What else can you exchange for it?!"
"Just take it!" Lin Zheng smiled and stuffed the book into Mendos's hand. "This book is not an only one. I still have it at home. To be honest, if I can use this book with you to exchange for the formula of the potion, I will
You took advantage of it!"
If it were something else, Mendos might still refuse, but the knowledge of advanced pharmacy has an unparalleled attraction for him. Now when he heard Lin Zheng say this, he could only smile sheepishly.
, "Thank you, Siegfried. I will write you the recipe for the potion later!"
"There's no need to be so anxious about this, just take your time!" After saying this, Lin Zheng paused and looked up into the distance, "It seems we are about to reach the exit of Snow Demon Valley?"
In the distance that Lin Zheng looked at, the sky there was different from the Snow Demon Valley. Looking at it, it was completely dark, and there was some red in the black. At first glance, it looked like it was floating in the air and starting to cool down.
Like lava, it looks very strange.
The carriage continued to move forward, and after a few minutes, it finally passed through the freezing Snow Demon Valley. What made people feel quite uncomfortable was that it had just left the Snow Demon Valley. The next step made people feel like they were standing next to the stove in the scorching heat.
Feeling. Just as Deken and others quickly chopped off the thick clothes on their bodies, Brunhild, who was sleeping in the small den, screamed and jumped up.
"It's so hot!" After she shouted, she saw Lin Zheng's smiling face staring at her, and she immediately became pleasantly surprised, "Siegfried, are you okay?!"
"It's okay, I'll be refreshed after a good sleep!" After saying that, Lin Zheng levitated the Hunyuan Ice Crystal over her head. As wisps of cold air fell, Brynhildr, who was sweating profusely due to the heat, immediately revealed herself.
A happy expression.
After coming back to her senses, Brynhildr noticed that they were no longer in the valley, and asked, "How long have we been away from the Snow Demon Valley?"
"We just came out, here, it's behind us!"
Hearing this, Brünnhilde looked back and was suddenly surprised, "There is a volcano next to the snow-capped mountains?! This place is too strange!"
No matter how strange it is, you didn't do it! Just when Lin Zheng felt funny, suddenly, a volcano in the distance erupted without any warning!
Accompanied by a loud "Bang!", Lin Zheng and others were startled and immediately followed the sound and saw the magma rising into the sky from the crater. The terrain of the volcano area is relatively high, and with the
The scale of the erupting volcano was huge. With this eruption, the magma pillars rushed directly into the sky! The magma pillars rushing into the clouds were like sticks stirred into the muddy water. Immediately, the thick and strange clouds in the sky began to roll.
The rolling clouds kept flashing with fiery red light, and it looked like the sky was on fire, which surprised Lin Zheng and the others. But soon, they were no longer surprised.
As the clouds rolled, not long after, huge fireballs fell from the sky. Wherever the clouds rolled, the fire rain spread to wherever they rolled, and now, the clouds were rolling towards them!
It was too late to run, so Lin Zheng suddenly jumped out of the carriage, grabbed the sword blade and opened the bow, the chaos feathers shone brightly, and as Lin Zheng loosened his hand, there was a "whoosh" sound
, the Chaos Feather immediately turned into a stream of light and left the string. In an instant, the stream of light turned into a soaring Chaos Bird. With a loud cry, the Chaos Bird flapped its wings and rushed towards the clouds!
"boom--!"
The next moment the Chaos Bird flew into the clouds, a roar came from the sky, and then a large hole was cleanly blown out of the clouds covering everyone's heads, revealing a piece of blue sky. Almost formed in this hole
Colleagues, the power of stirring the clouds swept over, and in an instant, there was a burst of fire rain all around everyone. The fireballs were wrapped in a dark solid body. Every time the fireball landed, there would be an explosion.
It turns out that this is the case. Standing in the vacuum zone of the fire rain, everyone looked around. No wonder the terrain in this area looks so flat except for the volcano. I bet it was caused by the intensive fire rain bombardment!
The volcano erupted suddenly and stopped suddenly. As the volcano subsided, the power that stirred the clouds also disappeared. The clouds gradually stabilized and dropped fewer and fewer fireballs, and finally stopped completely.
Seeing that fireballs were no longer falling from the sky, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief. As the clouds surged, the hole in the sky was getting smaller and smaller. If it had been there for a while, it would have hit them.
"What kind of cloud is this? It's so strange?! It's actually raining fire!?" Brünnhilde said as she looked at the clouds in surprise.
Lin Zheng, who had already analyzed it with his analytical eyes, heard her words and explained: "The main reason is that the fire element in this area is too strong. After the high concentration of fire element combines with the clouds in the atmosphere, a kind of
Very dense fire clouds, coupled with the eruptions of a large number of volcanoes, sprinkled volcanic ash into these clouds. Over time, it became what it is now. And because the fire elements inside are quite active, once they are impacted by the outside, these fire elements will
It will condense with the volcanic ash to form the kind of fire rain just now."
"God knows why the fire element here is so strong!" As he said that, Deken stomped on the ground. After being bombarded by fireballs for a long time, the geology here has undergone tremendous changes. He stomped up and followed the iron.
There is a virtue on the board, "Look at this ground, it is solid, it will definitely be stable for building a house!"
"Then you must be able to dig rocks here!" Lin Zheng said funnyly, "Okay, don't say you don't have these, hurry up! Be careful and wait for another volcanic eruption."
The dark red volcanic area was unbearably hot. Even Lin Zheng, wearing a cloak that protected him from the cold and heat, was too hot here. The others were sweating profusely. Not long after they advanced, they drank a lot of water. Deken had already
It was too hot without riding on the back of the black wolf. Even without carrying him, the black wolf was so hot that it opened its mouth wide and stuck out its tongue. Among all the people, only Brünnhilde still enjoyed it.
It feels pleasant and cool, after all, she has the Hunyuan Ice Crystal air conditioner.
This won't work! Lin Zheng looked at the sweaty people. Both Tang Shuang and Cocoa were listless due to the heat. If this continues, everyone will suffer from heat stroke, and they will lose their combat power before they even encounter the enemy. This
That's too stupid. We have to find a way to cool them down.
When he saw the flower pot held by Brünnhilde, Lin Zheng raised his brows, yes! Then he said: "Stop for a moment! I'll prepare something for you to cool down."
"Is it something to drink?" Deken turned around and asked, "I feel like my throat is about to smoke!"
"No!" Lin Zheng said with a smile, "But I can give you some refreshing drinks later!" After saying that, Lin Zheng took out a few flower pots with frost crystal grass, and looked at everyone's curious eyes. Next, Lin Zheng picked up the Xun wind and decomposed the flower disk and frost crystal grass. As the pile of crystal blue powder reorganized, the necklaces hanging with frost crystal grass one by one were completed.
"Here! Each of us puts one on, it will be much cooler!"
Hearing Lin Zheng's words, no one hesitated at all. The scorching heat was driving them crazy. They grabbed the necklace and put it on quickly. The effect was remarkable. The moment they put it on, everyone felt the burning. The burning heat quickly faded from their bodies, and all of them suddenly showed a comfortable expression on their faces.
Brünnhilde looked at their necklaces with envy, then looked at Lin Zheng, "Siegfried, where is mine?"
"You already have two hanging around your neck, why are you still hanging them?!" Lin Zheng said in a funny tone, but after saying that, he still hung one around her neck, which immediately gave up her intention of making a fuss.
Lin Zheng also prepared cocoa, icing sugar, and Black Wolf's portion for them. After finishing, everyone did not set off immediately, but stopped to enjoy the ice cream Lin Zheng prepared for them. These were originally prepared for the girls at home. snacks, but now my throats are starting to smoke, so it’s good to use them to relieve the heat.
Brünnhilde liked it very much, and the others were still eating slowly. She had already eaten three of them, and she was so cold that she had a headache. Because of helplessness.
"Speaking of which, did the guild provide any useful information about the fire stone?" Lin Zheng looked at Doma and asked.
Doma threw the remaining ice cream into his mouth and said: "The last adventurer who obtained the fire stone was recorded more than thirty years ago. As for the earlier records, the guild has not found them. According to this adventurer's description, his fire pattern stone was picked up from a magma river by a very coincidental circumstance. It is said that at that time, two fighting monsters suddenly rushed out of the magma river, setting off a huge magma wave. , and the fire pattern stone picked up by the adventurer was brought ashore by this magma wave!"
"Isn't it?!" Noel was dumbfounded, "Inside the magma river? Then how can we find it?!"
"And even if you see the magma river, it doesn't necessarily mean that there are fire-marked stones in the river!" Xifeng shook his head and said, after all, fire-marked stones are extremely precious treasures. No one would naively think that these things would be everywhere. Otherwise, with their strength, it is a little more difficult to get the things in the magma river, but it is not impossible. The key is, is it there?
"There seems to be a lava river over there, why don't you go and take a look?" Deken pointed not far away and said, "Maybe with luck, we can be like the adventurer and find it directly on the shore!"
Now that you have seen the lava river, there is no reason not to go and take a look. Although Deken's words are a bit whimsical, who can say for sure about luck?!
Soon, everyone came to the lava river. This was a quite spacious magma river. The narrowest river channel was nearly ten meters. In the river channel, orange magma was flowing gurglingly, making people feel hot just looking at it.
It's amazing. If it weren't for the mission entrustment, everyone would definitely stay far away from this ghost place!
Unfortunately, everyone did not have the same luck as the adventurer. The river bank was so clean that not even a small stone could be seen, let alone a fire-marked stone! "Siegfried! Your consciousness can observe the river.
Is there any fire stone at the bottom?"
"Nothing has been found yet!" Lin Zheng said while exploring. There are too many materials in the flowing magma. It is not easy to lock a palm-sized piece of material in it. Well - maybe we should search at the bottom of the river, although
Lin Zheng felt that with a fluid like magma flow, even if there were fire-patterned stones at the bottom of the river, they would have been taken away, but maybe they could be brought down the river?!
After another fruitless search, Lin Zheng's spiritual consciousness quickly probed towards the bottom of the river. In an instant, his spiritual consciousness had touched the bottom of the river. At this moment, a dark red thing rolled from the upper stream.
When he came down, Lin Zheng's eyes lit up immediately when he found this thing, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Found it!"
"Great!" After hearing Lin Zheng's words, everyone immediately shouted with joy.
"Wait, I'm thinking of something..." Before he could finish his words, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed into Lin Zheng's consciousness. The next moment, this guy opened his mouth and pointed at the fire pattern stone.
I took a bite, and then swallowed it in one bite!
After being dumbfounded for a while, Lin Zheng suddenly became furious, "Fuck you!" With a roar, Lin Zheng grabbed a handful of useless weapons and sent Thunderbolt to the bottom of the river. The next moment, "Boom——!"
There was a loud noise, and the magma wave rushed out of the river for a hundred meters. The dark rocks at the bottom of the river were clearly visible. Immediately, an angry roar sounded in the magma wave. Before the roar ended, a crocodile-shaped lava monster appeared.
, this broke through the magma wave and rushed straight to Lin Zheng and the others on the river bank.
