Chapter 430: The trip to the ice cave (1)
"This ice cave is really huge, like an underground ice city." After Li Muran walked out for several miles, he couldn't help but feel emotion when he saw this wide ice cave that suddenly became enlightened.
The environment here is extremely cold, and everything around is wrapped in ice. Countless icicles, ice walls, and ice caves are connected together to form a huge underground ice cave.
Li Muran speculated that the demonic energy here is mostly the nest of some kind of monster. Monsters usually place their nests in a place with abundant vitality or close to treasures of heaven and earth, protecting the treasures and enjoying the benefits of the treasures. From this point of view, it is indeed possible that there are rare treasures like this thousand-year-old ice soul here.
However, what puzzled him was that he had not encountered a monster along the way.
"Strange" Li Muran murmured: "The traces left by monsters can be found everywhere here, and the monster energy is also very strong. Some monsters must have lived there, but why can't they see a living monster? Could it be that those monsters know that someone has entered here, so they all hide?"
The Demon Soul also said in confusion: "This ice cave is quite large. If it is just a few monsters hiding, it is indeed not easy to find. However, judging from the traces left and the heavy demonic energy, there are at least hundreds of monsters and hundreds of monsters hiding here, which is very strange."
"Not to mention that the disappearance of this monster is very strange. This ice cave is so big. It is probably not easy to find the thousand-year-old ice soul," said the Demon Soul.
"There is a way to try this," Li Muran said, then took out a snow leopard talisman spirit from his arms and activated it.
"Hey, although this talisman spirit is of average quality, the extremely cold energy it contains is quite essence, and it seems to have an extraordinary origin." The demon soul said in surprise.
"Senior, I have good eyesight." Li Muran nodded and said, "This talisman spirit contains a ray of innate extreme cold air. It was injected by a Shenyou period monk with the innate extreme cold light that I met more than 200 years ago.
"It turns out it is the innate extreme cold air," said the Demon Soul Interface: "Well, although this breath is not powerful, it can be used as a carrier of ice cold power, fused with other ice cold treasures, so that the quality of this talisman spirit can gradually improve, and its potential cannot be compared with ordinary talisman spirits."
Li Muran said: "What the predecessor said is very true. The disciple once used this method to blend a ten thousand-year-old ice jade into this talisman spirit, so that it can be upgraded from an ordinary intermediate talisman spirit to a top intermediate talisman spirit, which can almost be compared with a fifth-level 6-level monster. However, the demon soul sealed in the talisman spirit is limited in strength, so it cannot merge more ice cold treasures, nor can it become a high-level talisman spirit with the strength of Dharma phase."
"Although this snow leopard talisman spirit is average, it has a very sensitive sense of ice and cold energy. It is better to let it lead the way and explore the place with the deepest ice and cold power. Maybe you can find the thousand-year-old ice soul."
"It's indeed a feasible method." said the Demon Soul: "And the strong power of ice cold here is also of great benefit to your talisman spirit. At least it can absorb a lot of ice cold power, which is more appropriate than using the talisman to replenish its primordial energy."
"It's true," Li Muran said, and then ordered Fu Ling to inspire the surrounding ice cold power and choose the direction with the strongest ice cold power to continue moving forward.
Sure enough, the snow leopard talisman spirit was very satisfied with the environment here. It swallowed and sucked the cold air around it. Not long after, it suddenly jumped and flew to a certain place.
Li Muran followed closely behind and continued to explore the depths of the ice cave with the Snow Leopard Talisman Spirit.
Along the way, Li Muran saw many traces left by monsters, but did not encounter a living monster.
"Huh" Li Muran suddenly stopped somewhere. He accidentally discovered that there were several deep marks on the surrounding ice wall.
"It seems to be traces left by sword-like magic weapons, and they are very new. Could it be that someone was fighting here not long ago?" Li Muran felt a stern, which shows that there may be other monks in the ice cave here.
Li Muran looked at the traces carefully. After a moment, he used the Soul-Chasing Sword and slashed a knife on the ice wall.
A flash of sword light, and with a "crack" sound, another knife mark appeared on the ice wall, but this knife mark was a little deeper.
"What a hard ice wall," Li Muran said in his heart: "From this point, most of the people who left these marks not long ago were also monks in the Dharma phase."
Li Muran carefully continued to explore the depths of the ice cave and tried his best to explore the distance. Not long after, his face suddenly changed, he hurriedly stopped his divine thoughts, and immediately used the night hidden technique to hide his body.
At the same time, near a narrow cave entrance in the ice cave, two magic cultivators wearing golden armor were guarding the entrance here.
One of the middle-aged monks in the late stage of the Dharma phase suddenly exclaimed lightly, and then shook his head again.
"What's wrong? Did Senior Brother Qiu find something?" His companion, a young man in the middle stage of Dharma, asked curiously.
"Nothing," said the middle-aged monk: "Jiu seemed to feel a ray of unknown strength and weakness approaching in the distance, but after careful investigation, he found nothing. It seemed that Qiu was too careful.
When the young man heard this, he said with a relaxed expression: "Senior Brother Qiu is a late-stage monk in the Dharma image, and he is known for his strong spiritual consciousness. Even Brother Qiu's spiritual consciousness cannot be noticed abnormally, so there is no need to worry."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Qiu is just a little talented, and his divine consciousness is a little higher than that of a cultivator of the same level, and it is not very strong. However, in the realm of Dharma phase, there will not be too many divine consciousnesses that can surpass Qiu.
The young man praised: "Senior Brother Qiu is too modest and can practice and improve his divine consciousness. It is very rare, and all of them are extremely difficult to practice. Therefore, the divine consciousness of most monks is almost the same. If Brother Qiu stands out from the same level of cultivators, he is outstanding. According to the junior brother, only seniors in the real body stage can surpass Senior Brother Qiu in divine consciousness."
The middle-aged man said a few more humble words, but he smiled, and obviously he shared the words of flattery for the other party.
While the two were chatting, suddenly the middle-aged man's expression changed and he shouted not far from the entrance of the cave: "Stop"
At the same time, the middle-aged man opened his mouth and squirted out a transparent ice sword with a cold light. The latter turned into a faint cold light and shot towards a place dozens of feet away.
"Senior Brother Qiu is this..." The young monk was stunned, but before he finished speaking, he saw a faint figure of a human monk suddenly flashed in a flash.
"What a clever hidden magical power." The young monk was shocked. The other party was already within a hundred feet of his time, but he was unaware of it. If the other party intends to attack, he might be very dangerous.
After the figure appeared, a crescent-shaped green rainbow sword light came out from the figure, facing the middle-aged man's ice sword.
"when"
With a crisp sound, the ice sword was swept open several feet away, and the sword light also turned into a scimitar and was taken back by the figure. This time, the middle-aged man lost a little.
"Who is your sage?" the middle-aged man asked in a stern heart. At this time, the figure had undoubtedly been revealed. He was a young monk who looked very young, and his cultivation was in the middle stage of Dharma appearance.
"It turns out that you are not a cultivator in your country. You probably came from a great Middle-earth country. Your hidden art is so clever. If it weren't for Qiu's lack of spiritual consciousness, otherwise he would have been unable to see through it." The middle-aged man frowned. In fact, what shocked him even more was that this young man obviously had only the middle-level cultivation level of Dharma image, but the magic power contained in the sword light he just sacrificed was extremely solid and was not inferior to him at all.
This young man is naturally Li Muran. Seeing that his hidden art was discovered, Li Muran bowed far away and said, "I have never known each other and have no intention of being enemies. The reason why I want to use the hidden art is not to sneak attack the two fellow Taoists, but to avoid the two fellow Taoists and go deep into the ice cave to explore. Please do not block the entrance of the cave."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I am ordered by the Qi Palace to sit here and not allow others to enter this cave. Fellow Taoist should please go back."
"King Qi Mansion" Li Muran felt a stern when he heard this: "It seems that there are more than one person who knows that there is news about the treasure here."
"What if I insist on entering here to find out?" Li Muran said lightly.
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly and he advised: "Are you the Lord Qiong Mansion or the guardian hired by the Prince's Mansion? They are all for others. Why bother to take risks and even take their own lives?"
His companion, the young monk, sent a message impatiently: "Senior Brother Qiu, he is just a mid-stage monk in the Dharma Act. You and I are more than enough to work together to deal with him. Since he is ungrateful, he will teach him a lesson. If he kills him, he can also get a treasure. Although the light of the treasure art has not been fully stimulated and revealed, he can tell at a glance that his quality is extraordinary and a valuable treasure."
The middle-aged man shook his head in his heart. If the other party was really just a mid-stage monk in the ordinary law, he would have taken action long ago; but in the confrontation just now, he found that the other party's strength was a bit extraordinary, so he did not dare to be careless.
Li Muran nodded and said, "What this fellow Taoist said makes sense. It is not easy for us to practice to this level. Why do we have to make a big move for some small matters? As long as the two fellow Taoists pretend not to be able to see through the hidden art of the lower body, let the lower body sneak into the ice cave without realizing it, they will not hurt the harmony. In addition, the lower body is willing to take out two high-level spirit stones as a way to buy the road, so that the two fellow Taoists will not get nothing.
The young monk in the middle stage of the Dharma Act sneered when he heard this: "You want to send me two high-level spirit stones? If you want to keep them, leave half of your net worth in the storage bag."
