The images returned by the "tentacles" were very clear, and seemed to have a built-in exposure effect. Even though the place where the flowers were blooming was obviously much darker, he could still see clearly what it looked like.
Cheng Lin was slightly disturbed and didn't understand what this was.
"Why are there white roses?"
He was extremely confused, wondering if this was a plant in the frozen soil that he didn't know about? After all, he didn't go deep into the ground during the deduction.
However, when he saw this flower, he instinctively thought of the one he had left behind in the deduction, but the color was completely different.
“Must go see it.”
Cheng Lin opened his eyes and took the initiative to disconnect the "tentacles".
Then he stood up and packed up his backpack. Cao Wei had already recovered more than half of his energy at this time. Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes and said, "Are you leaving?"
"kindness."
"Where should we go next? Looking for that kind of strange beast to hunt?"
Cheng Lin picked up the backpack and put on the windproof glasses on the ground for her. Then he said in a deep voice: "No, let's pick flowers first."
…
Under the frozen soil, there are connections in all directions.
Cheng Lin followed the traces detected by the "tentacles" and walked through the complex cave passages. Cao Wei followed behind with a curious look on her face. The further she walked, the more curious the look on her face became.
She had already seen that Cheng Lin was not walking aimlessly, but seemed to have already known the route. Every time he reached an intersection, he made a decisive turn, as if he had a direction in his heart and was constantly moving towards a certain goal.
If so, the frozen soil was a dark place for her at first, but now, following Cheng Lin, it seems that she won't get lost again.
She followed step by step, her black and white eyes behind her glasses blinking, curiously thinking that this was probably one of Cheng Lin's secrets, right?
Well, then it's better not to ask too many questions, but to keep your mouth shut, don't tell anyone who asks, and just hide it as carefully as your own secret.
Having made up her mind, she suddenly saw Cheng Lin stop.
"Why did it stop?" she asked.
This sudden stop almost caused her to rear-end her.
Cheng Lin in front raised his right hand, made a gesture, and said, "We're here."
It has indeed arrived.
When the two of them passed through the last passage, their eyes suddenly opened up, and a small space appeared in front of them.
It is much higher, wider and larger than ordinary channels.
According to visual inspection, it is about the size of an ordinary bedroom and a little taller, about four or five meters.
The space was dark. Cheng Lin had extinguished the "You Yan" at this time, returned the glove to her, and then a ball of orange-red flame ignited in his palm.
"Low-temperature fireball" is a bit outdated when used against enemies, but it is still quite useful for lighting.
The flames dispelled the darkness. In the field of vision, there seemed to be a depression in the middle of the empty cave, covered with ice and snow, which was different from other places. In the middle, on top of a piece of frost, a flower was swaying. At this moment, the buds were blooming.
The cracks have opened and are about to bloom.
"What is this? A spiritual plant?" Cao Wei exclaimed.
"I don't know, I'll go take a look." Cheng Lin's face looked strange and unpredictable against the flames.
He stepped forward and gradually approached. When his right foot stepped on the edge of the hollow in the middle, he suddenly frowned and turned on "wide-area vision". The next moment, the invisible gray fog spread, the perspective increased, and he
Suddenly, I discovered that the flower was as dazzling as a burning torch, which proved that there was a huge spiritual energy stored in it!
And this wasn't what surprised him. What really made Cheng Lin's eyes widen suddenly was that there was a light shining under the pit of ice and snow under his feet!
Is there something underneath?
Cheng Lin thought for a moment, then put two grains of "golden dust" in his body into the fireball. As a result, the low-temperature fireball suddenly expanded and became brighter in color. After that, he flicked it to the ground, and the fireball roared down.
Under the premise of flowers, the ice and snow began to melt underfoot.
"Chi chi chi~"
The ice and snow melted quickly and turned into steam, filling their field of vision. After a while, when the steam dissipated, Cheng Lin and Cao Wei finally saw what was covered by the ice and snow under their feet.
Corpse!
That turned out to be the body of a snow beast!
It is obviously larger than ordinary snow beasts, and its appearance is also different. The white fur is wet, like frozen meat taken out of the freezer. Perhaps because of the ice, its body has not rotted and has maintained its original shape.
He looked like he was lying on his back, with a delicate puncture wound on his chest near his heart, and the surrounding blood had long solidified and turned into ice crystals.
As for the white rose, it is growing on its abdomen!
In other words, this flower grows on the body of the snow beast!
"Is this a strange beast?" Cao Wei took a breath.
Cheng Lin looked down at it calmly and said, "Yes."
But he added in his mind: And it is not an ordinary snow beast, but an elite monster of level 4 or above.
The wound that killed it was so familiar that it was clearly pierced by Cheng Lin with the He sword in the deduction.
That is, this snow beast is one of the many he has killed!
"The body is still preserved? Strange thing."
Cheng Lin was very surprised. As far as he knew, creatures like snow beasts would eat corpses of the same kind, and humans in the dungeon would also eat them. Unexpectedly, they were preserved and became the nourishment for the spiritual plant.
Stepping over the corpse, Cheng Lin squatted down and looked at the flower. Only then did he realize that it was not pure white, but translucent, like glass, just petals. The flower path was filled with white smoke, and some
It's like the lingering smoke of a cigarette, but much purer.
Cheng Lin is no stranger to this. This is what it looks like when the spiritual energy is highly condensed and almost liquefied.
At the beginning, when the Snow Beast King evolved into the Earth King, the clouds and mist absorbed also looked like this.
"Interesting, is this grown using snow beasts as carriers?"
Cheng Lin thought to himself, stretched out his hand to pluck the flower, and then thought deeply.
Cao Wei, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but swallowed after seeing it, "You...you don't want to eat it, do you?"
"Am I that reckless? Who knows if it's poisonous? However, judging from the level of aura, it must be a very valuable spiritual plant."
Cheng Lin explained, put it back into the initial space, and then said, "I estimate that there may be more than this one in the frozen soil. Let's look for it again and try to collect some. Once we are sure that it is not poisonous, we will share it."
"Yes." The little girl nodded vigorously. She also saw that this thing is absolutely precious. "But, can you still find it?"
Cheng Lin smiled after hearing this, turned around, tapped his eyebrows with his index finger, and said confidently: "Of course."
…
Next, the two started a new mission, and Cao Wei gave it a code name: "Operation Flower Picking"
The two of them turned into flower-picking thieves, running wildly underground like gophers.
The "tentacles" power is really easy to use. After getting familiar with it, Cheng Lin can even branch out three independent spiritual tentacles at the same time and explore in three directions at the same time.
Each tentacle consumes almost the same amount of spiritual energy. Although this consumes a lot of energy, the efficiency immediately increases by 300%.
As for its strict requirements on spiritual energy manipulation, it is not difficult for Cheng Lin. His spiritual energy manipulation classes have always received perfect marks.
The most troublesome part is probably receiving images from three directions at the same time. It is very uncomfortable. It is similar to a person watching three fast-playing screens at the same time. It also takes time to remember the images on each screen.
After getting familiar with it, Cheng Lin felt that he could branch out four, five... or even more tentacles at the same time.
"Find another one and set off."
"Hey, there are some here too?"
"Corporal Xiaocao, let's move on!"
The two of them searched all the way, occasionally walking through the frozen soil, and encountered scattered snow beasts, so they killed them, and then used the black flags to devour their souls and strengthen their fighting spirits.
Cheng Lin gradually discovered that the number of rose spiritual plants was indeed rare, and they were mainly concentrated in the interior. Therefore, the two of them gradually got closer and closer to the center of the floating continent.
Walking underground, not knowing the time, they seemed to be separated from the world, but they did not know that right above their heads, separated by a thick layer of soil, the men and horses of the Sixth Division were engaged in a fierce battle with the Snow Beast Legion.
…
ground.
Gunshots sounded from time to time, and occasionally there was the rumble of supernatural powers falling.
At the center of the Sixth Division Exploration Team, the leader, Yuan Xinglu, is sitting here, staring ahead against the flying snow.
At this moment, it was already dawn.
It's early morning.
The darkness receded from the snowfield, and the world became pure white, crystal clear and dazzling.
In front of Yuan Xinglu, the flat snowfield suddenly rose up and turned into a mountain peak hundreds of meters high.
That is a snow mountain!
There are huge cave entrances all over it, and within the cave entrances are countless densely packed snow beasts!
This snow mountain is actually the lair of snow beasts!
"Commander! It's dawn, do you want to launch an attack?" A young lapel came through the snow and asked.
Yuan Xinglu didn't look at him, but just asked: "What time is it?"
