"The fever won't be so serious, right?" Li Qingyi felt the temperature on Li Xiu's body and felt very worried.
Trials generally don't get sick, but if they do get sick, it will be particularly serious.
Li Xiu's body was so hot that if it were a normal person, his brain would be burned out.
Li Qingyi was a little worried. Even if he was a trial person, if he continued to burn like this, he might have problems with his brain.
"We should have helped him keep him warm earlier. The S-level difficulty of the Nine Dragons Black Ice Trial is indeed quite risky for those who do not have cold resistance." Li Qingyi regretted not helping Li Xiu keep him warm earlier.
It's too late to say anything now. Li Qingyi can only pray that Li Xiu can survive the trial.
During the trial, many abilities and symbiosis contracts cannot be used by the demon spirits. They can only wait until they leave the trial ground to find a way to treat Li Xiu. By then, there will be more methods available.
Now Li Qingyi just hopes that Li Xiu can survive this period of time and nothing happens.
Lifting a corner of her coat, Li Qingyi saw Li Xiu leaning in her arms, seemingly asleep, with a glint of water hanging from the corner of his mouth, as if he was about to drool.
"Isn't it because the brain has been damaged?" Li Qingyi's heart skipped a beat.
Generally, people with brain damage will be unable to control their own behavior, and drooling is a behavioral manifestation of brain damage.
If Li Xiuzhen's brain was seriously damaged and couldn't be cured after getting out, she didn't know how to face it.
"Li Xiu... wake up... you must not let anything happen..." Li Qingyi pressed her hand on Li Xiu's middle and pinched it a few times but there was no response, making her even more anxious.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Li Qingyi felt that every minute was as long as a century, and every minute and every second was suffering.
After finally surviving the trial, Li Qingyi was about to help Li Xiu up, take the reward, and leave the Nine Dragons Xuan Bing Gate without going to the Nine Dragons Xuan Ice Land. He went out to find someone to heal Li Xiu first.
Li Qingyi put his arms around Li Xiu's shoulders and was about to help him up, but Li Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, stretched, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"The trial is over? It's time to choose the reward." Li Xiu stood up and looked at the reward icon that appeared on the light screen.
Seeing that there were admission tickets among the rewards for both of them, Li Xiu chose the admission ticket without hesitation. He said to Li Qingyi, who was still stunned, "I'll go in first" and got into the admission ticket.
In the whirlpool it turned into.
"Li...Xiu..." Li Qingyi bit her lip and called out Li Xiu's name, but Li Xiu had already entered.
"That bastard!" Li Qingyi's cheeks turned red when she thought of Li Xiu drooling while sleeping in her arms.
The familiar longevity lamp and stone table appeared in front of Li Xiu. There was something on the table. He looked left and right but couldn't figure out what it was.
In a general training ground, contracts such as weapons are relatively common, and items such as armor and clothes also occasionally appear.
Other miscellaneous deeds are relatively rare, but can be seen occasionally.
Li Xiu still doesn't understand what this contract is. At least he has never seen anything of this shape before, so he doesn't know what it is.
"Tiny carbon-based creatures..." The familiar and strange voice came from the longevity lamp.
"Can you tell me what the name of this deed is?" Li Xiu asked while looking at the deed on the table.
The shape of the wedge is somewhat similar to that of a flashlight. It is a cylindrical object, more than ten centimeters long. The thick end is about three centimeters in diameter, and the thin end is more than two centimeters in diameter. It is completely black and as smooth as black glass.
If one end was transparent and had a button, this thing would really look like a flashlight.
Unfortunately, the top of this thing is still black glass, not transparent, and there are no buttons on it.
"Nine Dragon Black Ice Tube." The longevity lamp actually answered Li Xiu's question.
"What's the use?" Li Xiu asked again.
"You will understand naturally when you pick it up," the longevity lamp said.
Li Xiu was too lazy to ask again. Anyway, he would know everything as long as he picked it up.
He directly reached out and picked up the Nine Dragons Black Ice Container. It was a bit heavy to hold, but with Li Xiu's current physical condition, this was nothing to worry about.
One hand easily picked up the Nine Dragons Mysterious Ice Container, and a mysterious light suddenly bloomed from the Nine Dragons Mysterious Ice Container.
Li Xiu dropped a drop of his own blood on it, completed the contract, took the Nine Dragons Mysterious Ice Cylinder into a parasitic contract, and received its message at the same time.
Jiulong Xuanbing Tube: Parasite Contract.
Level: E level (can evolve).
Quality: Brilliant.
Protoembryo quality: 0.9.
Talent skill: Kowloon Photo.
"What kind of ability is Nine Dragons Shine? I have heard of the Nine Dragons Lihuo Shield. It is a defensive artifact in mythology. Is this Nine Dragons Shine also a defensive contract?" Li Xiu followed the longevity lamp into the darkness with doubts.
.
When Li Xiu regained his vision, he found himself in a vast expanse of white ice and snow. Everywhere he could see was covered in silver. Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, the sky and the earth were the same color, and everything was pure white.
Li Qingyi was standing next to Li Xiu, glaring at him fiercely.
"Where should we go?" Li Xiu looked at Li Qingyi and asked as if nothing had happened.
Li Qingyi hummed softly, summoned a white bear, and rode the white bear in a certain direction.
Li Xiu summoned the Pink Nightmare and chased after him, but he soon discovered that the Pink Nightmare was not suitable for running on such snow. Its speed was much worse than that of Li Qingyi's White Bear, and he could not keep up.
He had no choice but to take the pink nightmare back, catch up with the white bear, and follow the white bear forward.
After walking for dozens of miles, Li Xiu didn't even see a single demon spirit. It seemed like there was nothing in this ghost place except ice and snow.
Li Xiu also discovered the difference in the Nine Dragons Black Ice Land. In the trial lands he visited before, there were usually some human buildings where he entered.
Just like the Black Death City, as long as you are in the Black Death City, the Eternal Life Lamp will always follow you, but if you leave the Black Death City, the Eternal Life Lamp will not follow you out, but will only stay in the Black Death City.
The land of Jiulong Xuanbing is different. There are no buildings or any artificial traces where you enter, it is just a snowfield.
What’s even weirder is that there is no longevity lamp around them. Without the longevity lamp, how can they leave this place of Nine Dragons Black Ice?
"Qingyi, why can't you see the shadow of the longevity lamp? How are we going to get out later?" Li Xiu asked as he walked.
"The longevity lamp is not where we came in, so we have to find it before we can go out." Although Li Qingyi was angry, she still answered Li Xiu's question, but her voice was a bit cold.
"Where to find it?" Li Xiu finally understood why the information he read before said that no matter who enters the land of Nine Dragons Black Ice, there will be a narrow escape from death.
If you want to go out, you have to find a longevity lamp first. No wonder the death rate is so high.
The temperature here is tens of degrees below zero. It is already very difficult for ordinary trialists to withstand such low temperatures. There is nothing to eat, and they don’t know where to find the longevity lamp. Even if there is no demon attack, maybe they are just hungry.
It tortured people to death.
"There are a total of nine fire points in the Nine Dragons Black Ice Land. If you reach those fire points, you may find the Eternal Life Lamp." Li Qingyi said.
"What does it mean that it is possible to find the longevity lamp?" Li Xiu had a problem with Li Qingyi's words.
"Because the longevity lamp appears randomly at the nine fire points, we may not be able to find it at the fire points we go to now," Li Qingyi said.
"That's okay. As long as you know where they are, you can find them sooner or later." Li Xiu said happily.
"It's not that simple. Every fire point is guarded by a large number of demon spirits. Even if you find the Eternal Life Lamp, it's hard to say whether you can kill those demon spirits rushing over." Li Qingyi identified the path and rode a white bear through a glacier canyon.
"What are the levels of the demon spirits guarding the fire point?" Li Xiu followed behind, talking about one thing after another.
"There are all levels. If you are lucky, you might be able to meet a casting spirit." Li Qingyi pointed to the front of the canyon and said: "The end of this canyon is the nearest fire point to us. You obey my orders. If
If something happens again, don't blame me for not saving you."
"As ordered." Li Xiu performed a military salute, as if he was very serious.
Li Qingyi rolled her eyes at him: "I haven't been serious all day long."
The two of them walked along the canyon without encountering even a single demon spirit along the way. Li Xiu saw that the canyon was as powerful as a dragon and it was winding for hundreds of miles with no end in sight.
After walking for a long time, Li Xiu only felt hungry and thirsty. He grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling the cold snow melting in his mouth, and the water it melted was quite sweet.
After eating several handfuls of snow in a row, Li Xiu felt that he was no longer thirsty, but his stomach was still very hungry.
When Li Qingyi heard Li Xiu's stomach growling, he jumped off the back of the white bear. After looking around, he walked to the ice wall and asked the white bear to dig out the ice next to the mountain wall with its claws.
.
Although the white bear was only an S-level demon, its claws were very powerful and it was not afraid of the cold. It soon dug a large hole in the ice.
Under the ice cave, black rocks were exposed, with a layer of brown stuff on them, a bit like moss.
Li Qingyi squatted down, took out a small knife, gently pushed away the broken ice, and then scraped off the layer of brown stuff. After a while, he scraped off a ball the size of a table tennis ball.
Li Qingyi divided the thing into two halves, pinched it a few times, and turned it into two small brown pieces, then threw one of them to Li Xiu.
"Let's make do with it, there isn't much food to be found here." Li Qingyi said, putting the remaining piece into his mouth.
Li Xiu caught the small brown piece, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. It smelled like fungi. He put it in his mouth and chewed it. It was a bit bitter, but also had a refreshing fragrance.
The taste is not very good, but the texture is good, crispy and smooth, a bit like eating enoki mushrooms.
"What is this?" After Li Xiu swallowed it, he felt that his stomach was suddenly full. Even though he only ate a little, he miraculously didn't feel hungry. He even felt a little bloated in his stomach, as if he had eaten too much.
"The secretions of glacier crystal worms." Li Qingyi said.
"Isn't this a fungus?" Li Xiu thought it was some kind of fungus.
"There are no fungi in the land of Nine Dragons Black Ice." Li Qingyi said, then mounted the white bear again and continued on his way.
Li Xiu saw that Li Qingyi didn't speak, and was quiet and bored, so he said from behind: "What kind of demonic spirit is the glacier crystal worm? Is the secretion you are talking about like the nectar collected by bees? It can't grow in this place.
Flower, what did the glacier crystal worm pick?"
"Glacier crystal worms are the most common monsters in the Nine Dragons Black Ice Land, but their levels are generally very low, at the bottom of the food chain. So generally, glacier crystal worms live under the ice and will not easily
Get out of the ice to avoid being preyed upon by other powerful demon spirits."
Li Qingyi said while walking: "It is said that there are nine most powerful demon spirits in the Nine Dragons Black Ice Land. They are all god-level existences with extremely cruel temperaments. When ordinary demon spirits encounter them, they will only be eaten. On the contrary,
The glacier crystal worm may be too weak. Those divine demon spirits will not eat the glacier crystal worm. Therefore, when the previous trialists came here, they would try to get a glacier crystal worm demon to use it to explore the way.
, so as not to accidentally bump into those god-level demon spirits."
Speaking of this, Li Qingyi glanced at Li Xiu: "As for the secretions of those glacier crystal worms, it's just a nicer word, you can also understand it as excrement."
After hearing this, Li Xiu suddenly felt like his stomach was churning, and he had the urge to retching.
"You'd better not vomit. There isn't much to eat in the Nine Dragons Black Ice Land. If you don't want to go hungry, you can only eat this." Seeing Li Xiu's depressed look, Li Qingyi finally showed a smile on his face: "You
Don't use that expression. Glacier crystal worms eat microorganisms in the ice and snow. They are very clean. You can think of their secretions as something similar to honey. Those secretions will expand after being eaten.
A little bit can carry you for several days, and you won’t have to eat anymore in a short period of time.”
"Okay." Li Xiu wiped his mouth subconsciously, but found nothing.
"Do we need to get a glacier crystal insect demon first?" Li Xiu asked.
"I had prepared one when I came here, but not many people can get out of Jiulong Xuanbing alive, so there are not many glacier crystal insect demon rings that I brought out. I only got this one. If you want
If so, you can also hunt the glacier crystal worms first." Li Qingyi raised his left hand and flashed the ice crystal-like ring on his finger.
"It's rare to come here once, and I don't know if I will have the chance to come again in the future. I might as well get a glacier crystal worm." Li Xiu didn't have anything on hand, and he always felt uneasy, so he thought about getting one first.
Li Qingyi nodded: "Then let's first find the place where the glacier crystal worms gather."
"Didn't you say that glacier crystal worms are very common? Do you need to find the places where they gather?" Li Xiu asked with some confusion.
"They are very common. There may be quite a few under the ice under our feet. But as soon as we dig out the ice, they will immediately escape when they are shaken. By the time we dig out the ice, they will have long since disappeared.
. Just like when we were digging out those secretions, there must have been glacier crystal worms there before, but they had already escaped before we dug them out." Li Qingyi said with a half-smile.
"Can we stop mentioning that thing?" Li Xiu sighed.
"You have to ask yourself, I'm just explaining it to you clearly." Li Qingyi pursed his lips and smiled.
Li Xiu said nothing more and followed Li Qingyi for a while. Li Qingyi stopped at a large glacier crevice.
He lay on the ground and looked inside, and listened for a while. Then the ice crystal ring on his finger turned into a tiny demon spirit like an ice crystal earthworm, and let it crawl down the glacier crevice.
Li Xiu looked at the glacier crystal bug curiously. It was like an ice crystal. It was only twenty centimeters long and thinner than chopsticks. When it moved on the ice, it seemed as if there were ice skates under its body, sliding directly in.
Entering the crack, the speed is quite fast.
After a while, the glacier crystal worm crawled out again, climbed onto Li Qingyi's finger, and made a sound like a fly, as if it was telling Li Qingyi something.
"Okay, there are no scary demon spirits down there. There are a lot of glacier crystal worms. Let's go down." Li Qingyi said and got into the glacier crevice.
Li Xiu also drilled down, and there was a thick layer of ice underneath, just like a cave. However, there were no stalactites in this cave, but all kinds of strange-shaped glaciers.
Because some ice caves are narrow and not suitable for mounts, Li Qingyi can only walk by himself.
After passing through several glacier caves, I saw a black rock cave below. There was white gas coming out of the rock cave, which made people feel very warm.
Li Qingyi summoned Fukiyuki, who was already at basic level, and walked towards the rock cave.
Li Xiu also quickly summoned the Jedi Knights and followed Li Qingyi inside.
The temperature in the rock cave is quite high, and I don't feel cold at all. It seems to be a different world from the outside. From time to time, I can see brown glacier crystal worm secretions appearing on the rocks.
After walking not far, we suddenly saw a clear view in front of us. Inside a large cave, there was actually a hot spring spewing white gas.
Next to the hot spring, you can see glacier crystal worms shining with ice crystals, lying in the hot spring drinking water. There are a lot of them.
Li Xiu took a closer look and got goosebumps all over his body. It turned out that not only next to the hot spring, but also inside the hot spring, there were also glacier crystal worms.
Just because the body of the glacier crystal worm is transparent, it is almost invisible in the water, so Li Xiu didn't see it at first.
After taking a closer look, I discovered that the hot springs were densely packed with glacier crystal worms. People with trypophobia would probably vomit after looking at them.
Li Qingyi obviously didn't have such troubles, and directly ordered Fukiyuki to attack the glacier crystal worms in the hot spring.
Those glacier crystal worms slide very fast on the ice, but they lie very slowly on the rocks like earthworms, and cannot run very far at all.
Wherever Fubukihime's sword light passed, the glacier crystal worms were cut off.
The glacier crystal worms in the hot spring suddenly started to move, rolling and twisting densely in the water. I don't know how many there are, scrambling to climb up the rocks, trying to get back to the glacier outside.
Stick to the first day and see how many days you can last.
