Chapter 536 Cold Wave
Zhao Feng's expression seemed a little complicated, but he still explained to Li Xuan:
"That direction is the former Beiliang."

Li Xuan looked up hesitantly, and he didn't expect that behind the huge white wall that connected the sky and the earth was Concubine Xiao's hometown.

“Is that white snow?”

The strange sight before him made Li Xuan feel a little depressed.

"Not only is there snow, but also extremely low temperatures. Even warriors with ice-attributed Qi can't hold out for long in there. It has become a dangerous place."

"This cold wave has only been passed down orally in the legends of the people in the North. After all, when the last cold wave came, Daxing City had not yet been established, so we don't know much about the cold wave."

"As for Beiliang, who knows the situation best, they are trapped in the cold wave."

Zhao Feng looked in the direction of the cold wave. Even though he was already a top-third-grade warrior at this time, he was unwilling to get close to there.

Over the years, many people stronger than him have been lost in the cold wave and never came out.

"Can you come closer and take a look?"

In response to Li Xuan's request, Zhao Feng simply sighed and agreed to it.

Zhao Feng knew that the cold wave had a different meaning for Li Xuan.

The person in this world who most hopes that the cold wave will end is definitely Li Xuan.

Although Princess Ankang's treatment in the palace has changed dramatically, Beiliang is still a thought in Princess Ankang's heart.

And Li Xuan is a kitten who dotes on his owner very much.

"We can only watch and not get too close. Otherwise, if we get sucked in, we might not be able to come back."

Zhao Feng's words made Li Xuan feel awe-inspiring. He didn't expect that just being close to the cold wave could make a master like Zhao Feng so cautious.

Li Xuan nodded, indicating that he had taken note of Zhao Feng's words.

Then, Zhao Feng took Li Xuan and slowly flew towards the huge white wall in the distance.

The closer we got, the more obvious the oppressive feeling became.

When you get closer, you will find that the height of the giant white wall is far beyond your imagination. The surrounding towering hills look like small earthen slopes against the backdrop of the giant white wall.

Li Xuan and Zhao Feng were even more insignificant.

The closer they got to the cold wave, the slower Zhao Feng moved, for fear of being caught in it.

During the approach, Zhao Feng also explained to Li Xuan the dangers of the cold wave.

The weather was clear today, so they could clearly see the huge white wall that was in stark contrast to the surrounding environment.

But if the weather is bad and the sky and the earth are all white, people may walk into the cold wave without knowing it, and then it will be too late to regret it.

After entering the cold wave, the temperature will drop sharply, and even warriors will find it unbearable.

What's worse is that there is endless wind and snow inside the cold wave, and the visibility of ordinary people is less than half a meter. The surroundings are all white and it is impossible to tell the direction at all.

Even when the wind and snow were stronger, they couldn't even open their eyes. They could only wander like a blind person in the severe cold, like a headless fly, and eventually they would be frozen to death.

The most fatal thing for these warriors is that the power of the five elements of heaven and earth within them is completely disordered. After the true energy is consumed, it is extremely difficult to recover.

The same is true even for warriors with ice-attributed true qi, because the ice-attributed power within the cold wave is too violent and chaotic. If warriors want to use it for their own benefit, they need to spend a lot of time and effort to extract the usable power from it.

Therefore, compared to warriors with other attributes of true qi, warriors with ice attribute true qi can survive a little longer, but that's all.

The violent and chaotic power of the five elements of heaven and earth constantly affects those who step into the cold wave, inducing a kind of mania that makes people lose their minds and indiscriminately attack the creatures around them.

This disease is now called snow madness, a strange disease that only appears after a cold wave occurs.

However, there are examples of people who were caught in the cold wave not having no survivors, otherwise Zhao Feng would not have known this information.

Since the cold wave began, no one from Beiliang has come out.

However, there were some cases of survival among the unlucky people who were accidentally caught in the cold wave.

Some people experienced long periods of despair during the cold wave, and then unexpectedly came out and were reborn.

Many people want to summarize their experience of getting out of the cold wave and try to explore the secrets inside the cold wave, but no one has succeeded so far.

Even though cold waves are so dangerous, many people dare to go in and explore every year.

These people each have their own purposes, but most of them are for the legacy of Beiliang.

Before being submerged by the cold wave, Beiliang was one of the most powerful countries in the north and could compete with the desert.

All the wealth of such a country is now buried in the cold wave, so naturally someone would set their sights on this wealth.

The wages of avarice is death.

While Zhao Feng was explaining to Li Xuan, the cold wave was approaching.

The huge white wall was only three or five miles away from them, but Li Xuan could already feel the violent and chaotic ice power that Zhao Feng had mentioned.

"how so……"

Li Xuan looked at the cold wave solemnly. For the first time, he felt such a chaotic power of the five elements of heaven and earth.

It was as if the laws of nature had been broken, and everything here was completely out of control and became chaotic.

And this is just Li Xuan's feeling at the periphery of the cold wave. If he goes deeper into it, it will probably be even more chaotic.

Even though Li Xuan possessed Yin and Yang Qi and had a deep understanding of the five elements of heaven and earth, he could not understand why such a phenomenon occurred.

In such an environment, can anyone really survive?

Li Xuan knew very well that while Princess Ankang understood the situation of Beiliang, she had expectations in her heart that she had never expressed.

Princess Ankang hopes that her mother's family members are still alive during the cold wave.

But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it's not optimistic.

"Okay, Xuan."

"Let's continue searching for the hunting officer."

Zhao Feng didn't want to stay here too long.

Li Xuan nodded and withdrew his perception of the cold wave.

I don’t know if it was his illusion, but the huge wall in front of him seemed to be even grayer, making it hard to look at.

Just when Zhao Feng was about to speed up and get away from the cold wave, Li Xuan suddenly sniffed hard, as if he smelled something familiar.

"Wait a minute, meow!"

Li Xuan shouted anxiously.

Seeing his reaction, Zhao Feng immediately stopped in the air.

"what happened?"

"What did you find?"

They were very close to the cold wave at this time, so the wind and snow silently became much stronger.

Li Xuan tried hard to catch the familiar smell that came with the wind and snow.

At this point, he had confirmed that this was the same smell as the hunting officer's blood sample that Zhao Feng had let him smell before.

"Hunter meow!"

After saying that, Li Xuan had already figured out the direction from which the smell came, and stretched out his claws to point to a valley under their feet.

However, this valley is very close to the edge of the cold wave, and part of it is even directly hidden in the cold wave.

Zhao Feng's face twitched when he saw it, and he couldn't help but confirm with Li Xuan:
"Ah Xuan, are you sure?"

"That should be right, meow."

"Look, meow."

Li Xuan nodded seriously.

Zhao Feng held Li Xuan tightly on his shoulders and then instructed:
"Xuan, no matter what happens later, you must hold me tightly."

After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he took Li Xuan and flew towards the valley below.

Zhao Feng was very cautious when approaching and did not dare to speed up easily. Li Xuan also kept confirming the smell while approaching the valley.

"That's it, meow!"

Li Xuan confirmed the source of the smell and pointed out the direction for Zhao Feng.

Seeing that he had already received Li Xuan's confirmation, Zhao Feng did not waste any time and immediately increased his speed, wanting to end the battle quickly.

Under Li Xuan's guidance, Zhao Feng flew all the way to the end of the valley.

The wind and snow around them were getting stronger and stronger. Seeing that the cold wave was getting closer and closer, Zhao Feng took out a blue iron chain from his storage magic weapon out of concern.

The iron chain is very thin, but it looks quite long.

Zhao Feng tied the iron chain to a huge rock in the valley, and then told Li Xuan:
"Ah Xuan, you should also leave some marks. If you get lost later, you may be able to find your way back."

Li Xuan immediately took action and used Yin-Yang Qi to leave a cat's paw print on the wall of the valley.

As they got closer to the cold wave, they moved more cautiously.

And just like that, at the end of the valley, they found the source of the smell.

"Right here meow!"

Li Xuan pointed excitedly at a snow pile.

At this close, the smell was already very obvious.

Moreover, Li Xuan sensed that the people inside were still alive.

Zhao Feng immediately summoned a breeze to blow away the snow, and as a result, they saw a figure curled up in a small depression in the valley wall.

"Yan Shang!?"

Zhao Feng exclaimed when he saw the curled up figure inside.

This was a young man, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. His originally gorgeous hunting officer uniform was now tattered, with horrific scars all over the sight, but the blood on them had all been frozen. His once handsome face had turned blue and white, completely bloodless.

Yan Shang's hair and face were covered with frost. If Li Xuan had not been able to hear his weak but tenacious heartbeat, he would have thought he was dead.

Zhao Feng's call made Yan Shang's eyelids move, but that was all. He probably didn't even have the strength to open his frozen eyelids.

Li Xuan wanted to crawl out of Zhao Feng's arms to treat the boy's injuries, but was stopped by Zhao Feng.

"Let's leave this place first."

Zhao Feng waved his hand and gently lifted Yan Shang's body in front of him with the breeze, so that Li Xuan in his arms could touch Yan Shang's body.

Li Xuan nodded, stretched out his claws and pressed them on Yan Shang's cold heart, using the Yin-Yang Qi to heal his wounds.

Fortunately, Zhao Feng brought Li Xuan here, otherwise, even if Zhao Feng found Yan Shang with such injuries, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

With Li Xuan's Yin-Yang Qi, as long as there is still a breath left, the person can basically be saved.

Yan Shang's injuries were very serious, with various sword wounds and arrow wounds on his body.

If an ordinary person had suffered such an injury, he would have died long ago.

But Yan Shang seemed to be experienced and had carried out some simple treatments on his injuries. That was why he was able to hold on until now.

When Zhao Fengyi turned around, both the man and the cat were stunned.

Before they knew it, everything around them was white, which made them feel uneasy.

Li Xuan now understood the horror of the cold wave.

Originally, when he first saw the huge white wall that connected the sky to the ground and knew that it was a cold wave, he would wonder if someone would accidentally break into such an obvious place?

But as the cold wave approached, the wind and snow around them quietly grew stronger.

Just like them now, when they want to go back, they find that they can no longer find the way they came.

Fortunately, Zhao Feng had left behind an iron chain. He only needed to collect the chain in his hand and go back, and he should be able to find the way back.

But Li Xuan discovered that the blue iron chain was covered with a thick layer of white frost in just a short while, and it almost froze into one with the snow on the ground.

The iron chain used by Zhao Feng was smelted from a special metal and was extremely resistant to cold.

It’s not like someone hasn’t tried this method before, but no matter what material it is, once it’s exposed to the cold wave, it will freeze and break, and its origin will never be found again.

They returned all the way, and when they were farther away from the cold wave, their vision was still unclear. It turned out that it was snowing heavily outside.

If they hadn't found the huge rock along the iron chain, Li Xuan and Zhao Feng would have thought they had walked into a cold wave.

After finding the boulder, Zhao Feng took off immediately and soon discovered a huge white wall that was even darker in color.

The moment they saw the huge white wall, the man and the cat all breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, they took Yan Shang and moved away from the direction of the cold wave, and found a cave to hide from the wind and snow.

Li Xuan continued to treat Yan Shang. Looking at this young boy with a young face, he found that his cultivation was quite strong.

According to the estimation of Yan Shang's true qi quality, he should have the strength of the fifth rank, which surprised Li Xuan.

Zhao Feng made a fire on the side, took out the prepared medical supplies, and briefly told Li Xuan about Yan Shang's condition.

Yan Shang is about the same age as Xu Lang and will be twenty-six next year.

Li Xuan didn't expect that Yan Shang had a baby face. He didn't look his age at all.

Zhao Feng said that Yan Shang and Xu Lang were both direct descendants of the Imperial Household Department who were trained in the same batch, but Yan Shang was more talented, so he was sent to be a hunting officer for training, while Xu Lang, who was less talented, was left in the Imperial Household Department to obey orders.

As Li Xuan treated him, dark blood gradually began to flow out of the corners of Yan Shang's mouth, but he showed no signs of waking up.

But Li Xuan and Zhao Feng were not in a hurry.

He is in much better condition now than when we first found him.

As Li Xuan completely repaired Yan Shang's injuries and dissolved the blood clots, the Qi and blood in his body were able to circulate again.

In this way, with the help of his own qi and blood, Yan Shang's injuries can recover faster.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, Yan Shang quietly opened his eyes.

He found himself in a warm cave, with a cute black cat in front of him and the familiar steward beside the fire, looking at him worriedly, and he couldn't help but smile gently.

"Yan Shang, how do you feel?"

Zhao Feng asked with concern.

As a result, Yan Shang ignored him and slowly closed his eyes, muttering to himself:

"Heaven have mercy..."

"Does the incompetent little Yanzi deserve to die peacefully like this?"

Yan Shang felt warm all over, as if he was soaking in a bucket of hot water.

He had heard the captain say a long time ago that before a person dies, there will be a last burst of light and a revolving lantern.

Whether the scene you see is good or bad depends entirely on your blessings.

Yan Shang felt that God had treated him well to be treated like this before his death.

But just as he was about to die peacefully, he felt his nose itching.

He endured it for a while, thinking that this was what death felt like.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and sneezed violently.

"Ah-"

Yan Shang opened his eyes dazedly and saw the black cat in front of him looking at him in a mean manner.

He had never seen such lively eyes in a cat and thought it was the embodiment of death.

But the Grim Reaper had no intention of letting him go, and instead used its big tail to scratch his chin.

Yan Shang couldn't help but wonder: "Is death such an itchy thing?"
