Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 224 Soul-Eating Spring

"Is this the Ice Soul Crystal?" Yu Yan had only heard of this kind of thing but had never actually seen it. However, the ice energy contained in this kind of blue crystal mine was indeed much stronger than the pile of frost crystals next to it.

Luo Qingli practices ice attribute techniques, and her understanding of corresponding objects is much richer than that of ordinary monks. She has never seen ice soul crystals, but the characteristics of these crystals and those described in the book are indeed very similar. resemblance.

"It should be right." She took out a pair of white jade daggers, carefully dug out the ice soul crystals, and gave two more pieces to Yu Yan.

Yu Yan took advantage of the situation and put the things back into the storage bag, and said with a smile: "If we can get out safely from here, then the things we have harvested so far will have been worthwhile. Fellow Daoist Luo, is this a blessing in disguise?"

"If you can really leave, that's true."

But if you can't get out, no matter how many ten thousand years of spiritual grass you have to cherish the spiritual mine, it will be in vain.No matter how precious the thing is, she doesn't want to trade it for freedom.

After collecting the Ice Soul Crystal, the two of them continued on the road. The ice cave had nine twists and turns. They wandered around in it for several days, but still couldn't find any way out.

An ice wall was erected in front of her, blocking the way. Yu Yan said helplessly: "This road is not open either. Let's change."

She turned around to leave, but found Luo Qingli staying in place, frowning slightly, and couldn't help but wonder: "Fellow Daoist Luo, what's wrong?"

"There is no other way." Luo Qingli sighed, "I have marked all the way here, trying to follow every branching road. Now this is the last branching road, and the next one is just Repeat the path traveled before.”

Yu Yan was slightly stunned, "You mean, this ice cave has no exit at all?"

"This is what we see so far, but there may be some hidden passages here that we haven't discovered." Luo Qingli tentatively knocked on the ice wall in front of him.

The ice wall here is made of ice and snow that has been piled up over many years. It is hard and solid. It cannot be ruled out that some of the original exits were later blocked by ice and snow and became dead ends.

Yu Yan also followed her to explore the ice wall here. "This ice wall is very thick. Even if there is a road behind it, it will be difficult to open it with our ability."

Luo Qingli nodded, "There is always a thinner place, let's look for it again."

The search lasted several days. Luo Qingli stopped in front of an ice wall and was speechless for a long time. Yu Yan came over curiously, "Did you find anything?"

"It seems that spiritual consciousness has not completely penetrated this wall."

After hearing this, Yu Yan released her spiritual consciousness and tried it. It went very well at first, but after it spread forward for a certain distance, it was like a stone cow entering the sea, and even the spiritual consciousness that was explored collapsed.

"what's going on?"

Luo Qingli thought for a while and guessed: "There may be some special ore layer behind this ice wall."

Yu Yan was surprised, "I have heard that some spiritual minerals can block spiritual consciousness, but I have never heard of any minerals that can absorb spiritual consciousness."

Luo Qingli had never heard of it, but the world was full of wonders. It might be that the two of them were ignorant, but what was certain now was that there must be something weird behind this ice wall.

Yu Yan also thought of this, "Anyway, let's dig around first. This ice wall is much thinner than others. Anyway, we have no other way out now. Let's treat a dead horse like a living horse." "

Luo Qingli nodded, took out the white jade dagger and was about to cut the ice, but was stopped by Yu Yan. She smiled mysteriously, "Don't bother me, it's up to me." Yu Yan took out some brown powder from the storage bag , fell in a few places under the corner of the ice wall, and then took out a bamboo tube, and crawled out from the bamboo tube a dozen hard beetles of large and small sizes, each with huge and sharp front claws and sharp teeth, heading towards Yu Yan got into the place where the powder had been sprinkled.

There was a clicking sound as these beetles broke through the hard ice, leaving behind a field of ice shards. One by one they got into the wall, and the black insect gu could be clearly seen in the translucent ice wall. As they were traveling back and forth, cracks began to appear on the ice wall.

Yu Yan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "This is called sharp-toothed Gu. Its beak and pliers are very sharp. It can even bite through iron plates. It is most suitable for breaking ice. This way we can save some energy."

Luo Qingli understood clearly and had to admit that Gu insects did have great advantages in some aspects.

The two of them waited quietly in front of the ice wall. There were more and more cracks on the ice wall, and the harsh sound of breaking ice gradually stopped. Although the ice wall still stood in place, in fact, it was riddled with holes inside. A light touch can cause it to collapse.

Yu Yan snapped her fingers, originally wanting to recall these sharp tooth Gu, but unexpectedly there was no movement for a long time.

She was stunned for a moment and snapped her fingers several times in succession, but there was still no response.

"This...shouldn't be right." Yu Yan's eyes were dazed, with a look of confusion on her face.

Luo Qingli thought about it carefully, and his expression changed slightly, "No, there is something strange behind this wall. Let's leave quickly!"

When she reminded her, Yu Yan quickly reacted. The two of them ran in opposite directions, but the wall behind them collapsed suddenly as if it was finally overwhelmed.

A violent sound came, snow dust and ice foam flew up, and the entire ice cave trembled. The moment the ice wall fell, a beguiling red light diffused out and filled the entire passage.

The movements of the two people shrouded in red light involuntarily slowed down, all perceptions were weakened, and their consciousness seemed to be being withdrawn bit by bit.

Luo Qingli only had time to swallow a Pure World Lotus Seed, before his eyes became dull and his body suddenly froze.

The two people who were originally running at full speed stopped in unison at this moment. Like puppets without consciousness and emotion, they turned around mechanically and walked step by step towards the direction of the red light.

Beyond the collapsed ice wall was a vast cave, with a calm spring lying in the center. What was strange was that in such a cold place, this spring did not freeze.

In the center of the spring floats a blood-colored red lotus the size of a bowl. This red lotus has no stems and leaves, and is just floating alone on the water. There is a little blood-colored fire in the heart of the lotus, which is burning peacefully at the moment.

Luo Qingli and Yu Yan seemed to have been summoned by the red lotus, and they both walked towards the spring.

The pure lotus seeds melted in the mouth, and the spiritual liquid slid down the throat. At this time, a cool feeling rushed directly to the forehead, like a enlightenment, and Luo Qingli suddenly regained some consciousness.

At this moment, they were only half a foot away from the edge of the spring. The bean-red fire was emitting an enchanting light. She woke up from a dream, stared in astonishment, and grabbed Yu Yan beside her.

When someone else intervened, Yu Yan came back to her senses and looked around in confusion, "What happened?"

Luo Qingli's eyes flickered, looking at the red lotus in the spring, his face turned pale, "This is the Soul-Eating Spring."
