Chapter 40 Orange Fragrance Ice Tree
Xing Yi and the others went down the steps and walked into this new tomb full of unknowns under the flashlight of the wolf's eyes.
The tomb passage this time is the same as the ones in the previous few times, and it is still piled up with blue bricks. Looking at the dusty look in the tomb passage, it is a place that no one has walked through for many years. It seems that Xing Yi and the others are the first visitors here in a thousand years.
In this place that no one has ever walked in for many years, Hu Shengping and the others actually felt a little cold. At first Xing Yi felt that this was a very normal phenomenon. After all, it was in the ancient tomb, and it was normal to have some coldness. They just asked them to pay a little attention. But after walking forward for more than ten meters, Hu Shengping and the others actually began to rub their hands, and their bodies were trembling a little.
"Why is it so cold?" Chen Huaming said while warming his hands.
"Yes, this is a fucking cold, but it's not that cold. If you continue like this, you probably will become ice before Shun Huazhen." Cao Hu said tremblingly with cold.
"Yes, I still have the power of immortals to protect my body, but I still feel the cold. This is not the cold caused by ordinary yin energy. It seems to be strange." Mao Daoqi said from the side.
"You all feel the cold. This is not a small matter. This should be an influence of mysterious things ahead, because everyone either has the power of immortals to protect their bodies or people who walk in the underground world all year round. The cold caused by the ordinary yin energy will not cause you to have such a big reaction, but what exactly will make you have such a big reaction, and what is it?" Xing Yi said inexplicably.
"Can it be the Thousand Years of Black Ice?" Hu Shengping guessed.
"It shouldn't be the ten thousand-year-old black ice. The coldness of the ten thousand-year-old black ice is not the cold, but the real dry cold. The coldness now is the coldness caused by the yin energy. This is not right. Is there a thousand-year-old evil ghost in front of me, but there is no bloody smell? What is it?" Yang Xin also wondered.
"Is it that thing?" Cao Hu suddenly said.
"What?" Xing Yi and others asked.
"If that thing is really difficult to work with. Can we get close to you, it will be difficult to deal with?" Cao Hu's face became a little scared and sad.
"What is it?" Xing Yi said. Xing Yi was a little surprised when he saw Cao Hu's face, because Xing Yi rarely saw Cao Hu like this. Once it appears, it would be a big deal, and it would be a difficult guy to deal with.
"Old Chen, Brother Hu, Yang Xin, have you heard of the orange-scented ice tree?" Cao Hu asked.
"Orange Fragrance Ice Tree?" The three of them were both stunned. They didn't know the name.
Xing Yi and Mao Daoqi have never heard of this name. It seems that the orange-scented ice tree appears relatively few times, and few tomb robbers have seen it, or even those who have seen it are dead.
"Huzi, what is this orange-scented ice tree?" Xing Yi asked.
"This is a long story," Cao Hu said.
"Then let's talk about it short." Chen Huaming said anxiously.
"Long story short is not very short," Cao Hu said.
"Hu Zi, then try to be shorter." Xing Yi urged. It is really not suitable for long-term discussions now.
"Okay, then I'll try to be as short as possible." Cao Hu said.
Everyone calmed down and listened to Cao Hu's slow remarks.
In the history of our family, General Faqiu, there was once a tragedy. It was in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Cao Hui, the contemporary head of our Cao family, led several good men from the family to steal an ancient tomb from the Western Jin Dynasty. After opening the tomb door, several people packed up two corpses, broke through the corpse group, and passed the Hundred Ghost Formation. But just as they were about to go down, they felt the coldness and the few people didn't care, thinking it was caused by the yin energy in the tomb. After walking forward for a while,
I smelled an orange fragrance. Several people thought they immediately took the detox pill just in case. They walked forward for a long time against the cold. Several people were already so cold that they could not be frozen to death if they hadn't had some skills. The orange fragrance became more and more intense. Finally, several people forced themselves to see the root of the cold. It was unbelievable that the source of the cold was an ice tree more than 30 meters high. The ice tree branches were tall and the branches and leaves were like ice crystals, transparent and illuminated, emitting a cold air visible to the naked eye, and a slight radiance.
"It was this orange ice tree more than 30 meters tall that made these people live for nothing except Cao Hui." Cao Hu said tragically.
Xing Yi and others were very surprised. What kind of family the Cao family is? Others don’t know, but Xing Yi and the others still don’t know? That is the top family among tomb robbers. The two fingers of General Faqiu’s Zhonglang broke through the mechanisms in the tomb and were invincible. However, under the leadership of the head of the family, they were all good players, and only one person survived, which was really unbelievable.
"Then, how did they die?" Xing Yi asked.
"They were frozen to death." Cao Hu said in a breath.
"Is it frozen to death? No?" Several people were unbelievable. "They can escape completely, the trees don't move, they can move, how could a few strong men freeze to death? We don't believe it."
"But they were indeed frozen to death. It can also be said in disguise that they were frozen to death by this orange ice tree." Cao Hu said.
"In disguise, what does this mean?" Xing Yi and others said in confusion.
"I'll tell you." Cao Hu continued.
The orange-scented ice tree itself is extremely cold, and almost no creature will survive around it, but there is a centipede feeding on the cold air. This centipede is called the orange-scented ice centipede by people as the name of the tree. When a stranger approaches the orange-scented ice tree, the orange-scented ice centipede will consider it a danger and will attack people. Since the orange-scented ice centipede feeds on the cold air, it will store this cold air in its body, and will naturally release this cold air when attacking people. The centipede itself is fast, and people will move slowly in cold weather, so they will be...
"If I don't say it, you will understand," Cao Hu said, with sadness in his tone.
"How did the head of the Cao family escape?" Xing Yi asked hurriedly.
"It was because of the desperate guards of the Cao family, and the Cao Hui family head himself had a profound internal skills and excellent light skills, that he was able to escape from heaven, leaving behind this precious information." Cao Hu explained.
"Then tell me how likely the situation we encountered this time is that the orange ice tree is that it is?" Chen Huaming asked.
Cao Hu thought about it and said, "I don't know how likely it is, but I don't rule out this possibility. If you walk further and the smell of orange fragrance appears, it will be 100%.
"It's useless to ask these questions now. What we need to consider is what we should do if we encounter an orange ice tree. Is there a way to deal with the orange ice tree, or rather, it's the orange ice centipede." Xing Yi said.
