At dawn, the morning dew began to condense.
Under the clear sky, the first ray of dawn broke through the clouds and mottled the dense forest, leaving mottled spots of light behind the branches and leaves.
The densely packed specks of light scattered down and shone on the two thin figures.
Among the two figures, one was wrapped in a black robe and his face couldn't be seen clearly, while the other had long golden brown hair that danced in the wind.
Roar —
In the forest, wherever the two figures passed, the sky would be filled with the roars of beasts.
The birds and beasts that lived here seemed to have suffered a disaster. Their roars were filled with pain and despair, and their ear-piercing sounds were especially clear.
Boom!!
With a loud sound, a huge elephant that was more than ten meters tall had a pitch-black wound cut open on its back. It immediately fell to the ground with a howl.
"The 300th!"
Qin Shi stepped forward with the Netherworld Sword in his hand, stepping on the back of the elephant. Shortly after, he flipped open the sleeve of his left hand, and a baleful aura revolved around his arm, instantly wrapping around the elephant, before quickly devouring it.
The Spiritual Energy was devoured, and like a spirit snake, it entered Qin Shi's body.
However, Qin Shi wasn't in a hurry to refine it. Instead, he compressed the Spiritual Energy into the depths of his dantian, where there was a rotating golden crystal.
If one took a closer look, they would discover that there was an abnormally terrifying power revolving around the crystal.
Even a peak King Spirit Realm cultivator might not be able to achieve this combined power.
"Hehe, I really have to thank the Golden Phoenix back then. If it wasn't for its Beast Core, my body wouldn't be able to withstand the Spiritual Energy of these wild beasts!" Qin Shi stuck out his tongue and couldn't help but laugh after looking at the compressed Spiritual Energy in his dantian.
Shi Lan, who was following behind Qin Shi, was a little confused. She said, "Idiot, aren't you going to the Burning Sky Sect?
Why did you kill so many wild beasts? "
Qin Shi didn't say anything to Shi Lan. He just slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You'll understand after a while. Since the Burning Sky Sect has given me such a big gift, I won't be stingy. I believe that the Burning Sky Sect will definitely like this gift!"
Boom!
After leaving Desolate Town, Qin Shi was not in a hurry to go to the Burning Sky Sect. Instead, he killed desolate beasts without fear along the way. Desolate beasts of different levels were slain by Qin Shi.
The desolate beasts within a radius of fifty kilometers were all reaped by Qin Shi in half a day. It was as if he was the nemesis of desolate beasts. All the desolate beasts that encountered him were slaughtered.
Rumble!
Finally, an Earth Stage Level 3 tiger fell to the ground in pain under the Netherworld Sword. After Qin Shi absorbed its spiritual energy into his body, he took a deep breath and stopped killing.
"One thousand!"
"Shi Tou, this is your limit." Jade in the Book's voice reverberated.
Qin Shi nodded. He also felt the spiritual power in his body becoming restless. In his Dantian, the spiritual power of a thousand different wild beasts was constantly tumbling. It was already showing signs of overflowing.
"Hehe, Burning Sky Sect, prepare to receive the gift."
Qin Shi took a deep breath. Soon after, a cold light flashed in his pitch-black eyes as he looked in the direction of the Burning Sky Sect.
However, before going to the Burning Sky Sect, he still had one thing to do. For this reason, he turned around and asked Shi Lan, "Shi Lan, do you know where the Cold Pool Cave is?"
"Cold Pool Cave?"
Shi Lan opened her mouth in surprise and let out a cry of surprise.
Frowning, Qin Shi asked, "What's wrong?
Is there something special about this Cold Pool Cave? "
Shi Lan was silent for a while. Her cherry lips were a little pale, "The Cold Pool Cave is the most dangerous and terrifying place in the northern region of the Crimson Flame Empire … Rumor has it that within the Cold Pool Cave, there is ice that has accumulated for thousands of years. Even a Cryptic Realm expert would not dare to enter."
"It's that exaggerated?"
Qin Shi widened his eyes. Not only was he not afraid, he revealed a strange smile, "Hehe, how could I not have been to such a famous place?"
"You want to go to the Cold Pool Cave?"
"Yes, I do want to see just how terrifying the place that woman stays in is!" Qin Shi smiled as he called out to Shi Lan, indicating for her to lead the way.
Hearing this, Shi Lan opened her mouth, but she understood Qin Shi's temper. In the end, she shook her head helplessly and did not ask any more questions. She only headed southwest with a bitter face.
Whoosh!
The speed of the two was extremely fast. As the grass grew in the forest and birds flew in the air, they left behind a bewildering and poignant afterimage. Reflecting the light, they quickly rushed out of the forest and arrived at a spacious canyon.
In this canyon, there was a thousand-meter-tall mountain rock. On the mountain rock was a naturally formed thousand-foot-long silver curtain. The pure white waterfall rolled up dazzling waves, appearing exceptionally beautiful under the light.
"Below us is the Cold Pool Cave …"
Standing on the canyon, Shi Lan clenched her fists and said.
Feeling Shi Lan's abnormality, Qin Shi smiled and said, "Wait for me here!"
"Ah?"
Shi Lan froze for a moment, but just as she opened her mouth, Qin Shi had already leaped and flew down the thousand-foot-long silver curtain, sinking into the sparkling waves.
Diving into the waves, Qin Shi felt his entire body cool and was tightly pressed by the majestic water pressure.
When he landed steadily at the bottom of the canyon, he had already become a standard drowned rat. His black hair was blocked by someone, and water droplets dripped down uncomfortably, making him look even more miserable.
At the bottom of the canyon, he looked around and immediately noticed a dark cave deep within the waterfall. The cave was so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers if he stretched out his hand, and the surrounding cliff walls were filled with dark blue ice crystals.
"It should be here."
Qin Shi pursed his lips and immediately strode into the cave.
But just as he entered the cave, a bone-piercing cold assaulted his face, causing Qin Shi to shiver uncontrollably. The water droplets on his body were instantly frozen into ice.
"Hiss — So cold!"
Unable to help but suck in a breath of cold air, Qin Shi hurriedly hugged his body and used his spiritual energy to rub his arms, trying his best to warm up his body.
This cave was frighteningly cold. Not only was there not a lot of thousand-year ice, there was probably even ten-thousand-year ice.
"I really don't give up. Why would a little girl come to such a damned place for no reason?" After getting rid of the cold in his body, Qin Shi couldn't help but curse.
Then, he probed deeper into the cave.
This cave wasn't big, and after a few steps, it was a spacious space. In this space, there were ice pillars that looked like stalactites hanging in the air. The icicles were crystal clear and extremely sharp.
Under the icicles, there was a very magical cold pool. The cold pool was clear and cool, and a strong cold current came from it.
"Hehe, what a Cold Azure Lake …"
Looking at the strange cold pool, Qin Shi was a little surprised. It was hard to imagine that there would be water in such an extremely cold place.
Circling around the cold pool, he felt that the liquid in the cold pool wasn't as simple as it seemed. It looked clear, but it was also murky. Most importantly, it was so cold that even a Cryptic realm cultivator would be completely frozen if they fell in.
After circling around and looking around, Qin Shi couldn't find the figure he was looking for. Because of this, a faint sense of disappointment rose in his heart, "Not here?
Isn't she here? "
With a sense of disappointment, he shook his head helplessly. Since he couldn't find Zi Lingsha, there was no need for him to stay any longer. So, he turned around and prepared to leave this strange cold pool cave.
Crack!
But at this moment, the moment Qin Shi turned around, a bone-piercing cold came from under his feet. The cold frostbitten his calf and the pain made him frown.
"What's going on?"
In shock, he looked down at his calf and suddenly found that his calf had been frozen into pieces of ice.
"Shi Tou, quickly find a way to leave this place."
Jade In The Book's voice was particularly solemn as she said, "The liquid in the cold pool has cold poison, and it has filled the entire cave."
"What?"
Qin Shi cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate. He operated his spiritual power to expel the cold.
Who would have thought that the cold poison was so strong that it didn't waver under the influence of the spiritual power. Instead, it spread along his calf to the rest of his body.
"Damn it!"
In his impatience, Qin Shi frowned and once again expanded his spiritual power, enveloping his calf and forming a blazing flame, trying to melt the cold ice.
"If you don't want your calf to be crippled, withdraw your spiritual power."
But suddenly, there was a cold voice that came out of nowhere.
Hearing the voice, Qin Shi was startled. His black eyes looked around vigilantly, but he didn't find anyone. He shouted, "Who is it?
Who's here? "
Buzz, buzz, buzz ~!
At this time, a deep vortex suddenly appeared in the cold pond that was originally as still as water.
The whirlpool continued to spread, causing ripples on the surface of the cold pool and pushing the water away. After the water was pushed away, a vacuum was formed in the center of the whirlpool.
Immediately, a beautiful figure slowly emerged from the water. This beautiful figure was wearing a purple gauze dress with the hem slightly rolled up. A pair of cold purple eyes stared at Qin Shi.
"Zi Lingsha?"
Seeing the beautiful figure, Qin Shi was overjoyed.
"Hehe, you're really bold. A King Spirit Realm cultivator dares to break into the cold pool alone?"
That's right, this beautiful figure was Zi Lingsha. After she stepped out of the cold pool, she seemed to be aloof from the world.
Hearing this, Qin Shi was a little embarrassed. Then, he felt a severe cold pain in his calf again. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Hiss, hiss, hiss!
It hurts …! "
"Hehe, after being poisoned by this thousand-year-old cold poison, you're already very lucky to be alive!"
Zi Lingsha smiled disapprovingly. Then, she took a few steps forward and cut a small wound on the white skin of her arm. She moved closer to Qin Shi and said, "Drink it!"
Qin Shi didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately sucked a few mouthfuls of blood from the mouth.
After that, Zi Lingsha's blood flowed through his mouth and nourished his whole body. A hot feeling reverberated in his body, making him feel extremely comfortable. The ice that had frozen his calf gradually melted.
Seeing this, Qin Shi secretly let out a sigh of relief. Then, he became even more wary of Zi Lingsha. Unknowingly, he had been poisoned by Zi Lingsha three times. What a scary woman.
"Tell me, what did you come to find me for?"
After Zi Lingsha retracted her arm, she applied some white medicinal powder on the wound.
At the mention of this, Qin Shi scratched his head. Then, his expression turned serious and he said, "I want to find some poison with you, the one that killed Lin Yun last time."
"Oh?"
Zi Lingsha was quite surprised. She thought for a while and said, "What do you want that poison for?"
"To kill someone!" Qin Shi said bluntly.
Three chapters in a row, I wish everyone a happy time.
Also, I recommend a good book, Soul Breaker, a very good thriller novel!
