Many cultivators fled back to the lush mountains and forests, and their mood was very different from when they came. If they hadn't been separated from Xue Yulong by a snow valley and had a certain buffer time to escape, not only a dozen of them would have died in the sea of snow.
It's that simple.
Xiao Chen searched this snowy area for a long time, but found nothing special. Then he headed deep into the snowy mountains to find Keke and the three skeletons.
Two hours later, Xiao Chen discovered their traces.
When he climbed to the top of a snow mountain, Xiao Chen was stunned. In addition to finding three skeletons repairing in the ice cave, he also found a snow lotus the size of a house, and Keke was curled up on it, sleeping soundly.
The whole snow lotus is shining brightly, and the brilliance like water waves is slowly flowing. It is indescribable and magical, making the place full of aura and colorful clouds. The whole snow lotus seems to be carved out of sacred jade, under the sunlight
Brilliant and eye-catching.
And Ke Ke is sleeping soundly in the heart of the snow lotus. This makes people sigh that this little beast is really magical. Every time you can find such a spiritual thing, this is no accident. It must have something to do with it.
Related to spirituality.
This little thing is really at ease. It is not afraid of wild beasts snatching it away. It sleeps so sweetly. I really don’t know how it survived on Dragon Island where beasts are rampant. Xiao Chen walked over gently and held it with his hands.
After touching it, something surprising happened. A soft glow filled the surface of Keke's body, protecting it inside.
"Hey..." The snow-white little beast was actually talking in his sleep. After being touched by Xiao Chen, he turned over and fell asleep again without being awakened at all.
This... really left Xiao Chen speechless.
Xiao Chen didn't disturb it anymore, he sat on the snow peak and began to adjust his breathing. Although he was ruthless towards the enemy, Xiao Chen was different towards the people next to him. He doted on this little ferocious beast. This time, thanks to
Keke's colorful jade shell was shattered, otherwise he might have died under that flying knife.
When the Samsara King and the others noticed Xiao Chen's return, the light of soul flickered in their eyes, and then seemed to have disappeared, and they began to practice quietly.
In this way, Xiao Chen meditated in Xuefeng until midnight, feeling refreshed and completely restored to his peak state. Because he had absorbed the essence of several dragon eggs, the life essence was much stronger than ordinary people, otherwise
This fierce battle will probably severely weaken his vitality.
The powerful life essence allows Xiao Chen and others to have two lives. If he encounters an opponent with a similar cultivation level, he can engage in a fatal battle with the opponent injuring both sides. Anyway, his life essence is strong and he can completely drain the opponent to death!
There are stars and the night is like water.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Keke got up sleepily. When he saw Xiao Chen, he blinked his eyes in confusion, and then as if he remembered something, he stretched out a small animal claw and pointed at it painfully.
The swollen belly then pointed at Xiao Chen dissatisfiedly, seeming to be silently accusing him.
Xiao Chen was amused for a moment. This little thing must have wanted to eat snow lotus. Now he was guarding such spiritual essence but could not eat it, which really made him extremely depressed.
"I think I don't need to call you the little beast anymore. I can call you the treasure-hunting beast. You can find such a snow lotus king. You are really the nemesis of the soul."
Ke Ke seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and waved the small beast claw at Xiao Chen angrily. Then he turned over, uncovered a few crystal petals in the lotus heart, and dug out a fist-sized jade object from inside.
The divine brilliance was gorgeous, like a star. This was the real heart of Snow Lotus, which moved Xiao Chen's face.
Ke Ke's mouth watered with greed, she wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat.
"Haha..." Xiao Chen was amused and laughed, and finally said: "Let me save it for you first. When your belly subsides, you can enjoy it slowly."
Keke looked at him suspiciously, and finally nodded dejectedly, broke the lotus heart into two halves, asked Xiao Chen to keep one half, and gave the other half directly to Xiao Chen, while waving the small animal claw to warn Xiao Chen
, don't give it half of the idea.
Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "You little beast still has some conscience and has not forgotten me. Don't worry, I will keep it all for you, and I don't want half of it."
After visiting Keke's hometown, Xiao Chen felt that he was very close to the little thing and could almost keep it with him.
"Keke, now let me tell you how to reduce the swelling in your round belly."
Keke's big eyes immediately lit up.
"If you want to do it, you need your treasure tree. Didn't you see the treasure tree being integrated into my body last time? From today on, you need to try to integrate the sacred seedling into your belly and let it absorb the excess.
The nectar of life, otherwise I don’t know how long it will take for the nectar to be completely absorbed by you.”
Keke's big bright eyes widened, and then she shook her head vigorously while covering her round belly, which meant that she would not do it even to death. "Err..." seemed to say that she would never plant a tree on her belly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to. So much of the nectar of life has been absorbed by yourself, and the benefits are huge. However, you have to hold back your appetite for a while and don't always think about eating delicious food."
Keke immediately became listless, climbed onto the snow lotus with angrily, and continued to fall asleep.
"Keke, don't just take a nap, it's your turn to 'repair' your precious tree. Plant your precious tree on top of the snow lotus."
Xiao Chen carried Keke into the ice cave and planted the treasure tree on the snow lotus. In the watery night, the light on the snow peak was flowing. On the palm-high sacred sapling, like a horned dragon-like "trunk", there was a piece of ink jade leaf.
, a white jade leaf, and a jasper leaf, immediately glowing with dazzling brilliance.
In the early morning, Xiao Chen and the others left here, because looking in the morning glow, they discovered that there seemed to be a dilapidated ancient palace on a snowy peak in the distance.
When I arrived here, I realized that it was not an illusion. There really was a ruin here. The broken ancient palace had almost collapsed. It was originally a majestic palace. Only one or two ancient palaces are still standing, but they may collapse at any time.
Fell in the wind and snow. Nothing was found here. It seemed to be just an ancient ruins, far less sinister and terrifying than the holy mountain.
"With the ancient palace as a mark, let's bury the dragon egg here temporarily. It will be convenient to find the time later." Xiao Chen wanted to stop absorbing the dragon egg essence. Yesterday, he had an epiphany in the morning glow, which gave him a new understanding on the way of cultivation.
He wanted to start another training process. Anyway, the dragon eggs would not escape, so he could come here and take them out. At the same time, he had a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe one or two little dragon kings could really be born.
Xiao Chen never expected that when the ice and snow were shaken open and the frozen soil was dug up, an ice coffin was dug underground!
This is really a big discovery! Could it be the burial place of the ancient god? He thought like this and quickly cracked the surrounding frozen soil, causing the ice coffin to float on the snow-capped mountains.
Under the sunlight, you can clearly see that there is a complete human skin in the transparent ice coffin, with folds and wrinkles. It looks like it was left by an unusually old person.
This is so weird!
There was only an old skin and no corpse, which made Xiao Chen feel a little cold. However, he could not be afraid because of this. He gently pushed open the lid of the ice coffin, revealing the human skin inside. He lifted it up and discovered
, except for a crack from the head to the abdomen, the rest of the human skin is almost intact, without any damage. Even the sparse snow-white hair that is about to fall off and the gray eyelashes are still preserved.
.
For some reason, Xiao Chen felt that this place was extremely eerie. Even if the morning sun shone brightly, it seemed to have lost its warmth. The glow seemed pale. Involuntarily, he thought of cicada shells. This layer of old skin seemed to be shed by insects.
The shells are general and seem to have some similar characteristics.
Xiao Chen did not stop there, and dug up another piece of frozen soil nearby. To his surprise, he actually dug up an ice coffin again, which was only two meters away from the first ice coffin. Xiao Chen gasped
I breathed a sigh of relief. Could this really be an evil burial place? If so, wouldn’t the dilapidated palace here be the Palace of the Underworld?
The second ice coffin broke out of the ground, and inside it was still an extremely wrinkled piece of old skin. This time, a chill ran down Xiao Chen's spine, because he found that it was too similar to the two old skins, and the result was that
After laying them flat together, I found that their doughs were exactly the same.
The appearance is the same! Moreover, after careful comparison, Xiao Chen felt that his scalp was numb because he found that the birthmarks on the two old skins were not the same at all, they were exactly the same.
"How could this be? Even if they are twin brothers, they wouldn't be so similar..."
Xiao Chen felt more and more that this place was strange and strange. It was a burial place that sent chills down the spine! There was no way he could stop because of this and continued to dig into the frozen soil. As a result, the third ice coffin was dug out. He took a deep breath, and there was no trace of it.
He went to see the third ice coffin, but instead cracked the ice and continued digging into the permafrost.
However, he excavated all the strata near the ancient palace, and the fourth ice coffin was never found. The three ice coffins were unearthed at a distance of only two meters apart, and were arranged very neatly together. If you speculate like this, it seems that
There are only three ice coffins.
Xiao Chen opened the lid of the third ice coffin and was stunned. The old skin in the coffin was the same as the first two, and the three birthmarks were also the same.
How could this happen? Xiao Chen felt that it was very cold here. Why were there three identical human skins but no corpses? Could it be that the flesh and blood inside had been eaten by something?
He calmed down and watched for himself, and suddenly his expression froze, because he found an important clue! In the third ice coffin, he found a few drops of blood, which seemed to have dried up not long ago!
