Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

At this time, the Taiyin Firebird was slowly circling above the misty vortex at the entrance of the cave, emitting a deep and cold silver light, which also contained endless chill. Although its light was not dazzling, it was particularly prominent in the extreme cold of the ice abyss, like a pearl in an ice crystal.

Suddenly, the Lunar Firebird let out a joyful cry, flapped its wings, and dived into the misty vortex.

Then, the firebird opened its mouth and sucked. A powerful suction force surged out of its mouth, and the direction of the floating cold air suddenly changed and was swallowed into the firebird's stomach.

After swallowing a breath of cold air, it became even more excited. After flapping its wings on its abdomen in satisfaction, it quickly circled and danced in the vortex. Every time it flapped its wings, it opened its mouth to inhale a breath of cold air.

Not long after, because the cold air flowed into the firebird's belly too quickly, a deafening roar was heard in the vortex.

As the extreme cold air continues to pour in, the silver feathers on the Lunar Firebird become brighter and the details become clearer.

At a certain moment, another vortex formed around the Taiyin Firebird. The suction of this vortex was even stronger, and the strange cold power released from the cave flowed here.

The original vortex of cold air was gradually shrinking, and Ye Ming had an illusion that as the cold air was sucked away in large quantities, the surrounding temperature seemed to have risen a little.

The vortex centered on the Lunar Firebird grew larger and larger, and the speed of the cold air flowed faster and faster, finally making a deafening roar.

"From this point of view, there doesn't seem to be any danger." Ye Ming murmured as he watched the scene.

As soon as he finished saying this, something happened on the Firebird's side.

As it swallowed more and more cold air, its body seemed unable to bear this huge energy. Its feathers began to tremble, and a layer of light flames appeared on the surface, but it flickered.

But the firebird showed no intention of giving up. It flapped its wings hard and continued to absorb the cold air, as if it would not stop until it had completely devoured the extreme cold power.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, there were roars of tigers and dragons in the dark blue cave, and like a landslide, a huge amount of white cold air surged out. The cold air had almost materialized and became an extremely thick icicle.

As soon as the cold air icicle appeared out of the hole, an icy force that was several times colder than before spread out madly in all directions. Continuous "crackling" sounds were heard, and wherever the cold air passed, the void was frozen into a whole piece of pure white ice, crystal clear.

The cold air came suddenly, and the Taiyin Firebird near the cave entrance had no time to react before it was swept up by the cold air and frozen in the whole block of ice.

"not good!"

Ye Ming felt that the chill penetrated his bones. Without any hesitation, he turned around and flew upwards at high speed.

If he stayed where he was, he had no doubt that even with his strong body, he would not be able to withstand the freezing cold, and he would not be able to control his life or death.

As for the loss of the Taiyin Firebird, although it is extremely regrettable, one's own life is more important.

Thinking of the firebird, Ye Ming hurriedly glanced back and seemed to see its head move slightly.

But when I looked closely, it seemed to be motionless.

Seeing that the frozen void behind was about to spread to a distance of more than ten feet behind him, the cold air suddenly increased several times.

Ye Ming was shocked and no longer cared about so much. He madly used his magic power to perform the escape technique of martial arts and the great teleportation technique of his body at the same time.

His figure shot out toward the top of the ice abyss like lightning.

Ye Ming escaped at full speed and quickly rushed out of the ground. He soared into the sky with a "swoosh", then turned straight and flew to the side.

The cold air followed Ye Ming closely, and with a loud "boom", it broke out of the crack in the ice abyss and rushed straight to the top of the underground world.

After a series of "crackling..." sounds, it turned into a tall ice pillar, hundreds of feet high, directly pressing against the top of the underground world.

The bottom of the icicle spread to both sides along the original cracks in the ice abyss.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of miles of ice were frozen and turned into a "thin" iceberg.

"Huh!" Several miles away from the iceberg, Ye Ming stopped and let out a long breath.

After the cold air rushed out of the ice cracks and formed an iceberg, the coldness transmitted to the surroundings decreased rapidly. By the time it reached here, the coldness had returned to the original temperature of the ice field.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the iceberg no longer moved, Ye Ming slowly flew towards it.

The closer he got to the iceberg, the lower the temperature became. When he was a hundred feet away, Ye Ming had to stop. It was freezing cold here, and the temperature dropped drastically if he moved forward. He only took a few steps and then retreated.

Then, he looked at the iceberg with blue light flashing in his eyes and found that the iceberg was composed of floc-like cold air and some transparent ice crystals.

This is because an extremely large amount of cold air has gathered within a unit volume, so it appears so cold.

After observing for a while, Ye Ming sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully sensed the Taiyin Firebird with his mind.

This fire itself is extremely yin and cold, and it has been fused with the essence of the sun. It has reached the point where yin and yang merge, where cathode produces yang, and anode produces yin. It should not be frozen to death.

After an incense stick of time, Ye Ming opened his eyes and showed a hint of joy. It turned out that the Taiyin True Fire was not so easy to die, and it still had an ambiguous connection with him.

Although it is not known whether the fire was trapped inside or stayed there on its own accord, as long as it is not dead, then this endless cold air will be the nourishment of the fire, a tonic that will be absorbed by it sooner or later, and then it will be able to escape.

Ye Ming has enough confidence in this.

In this case, we have to stay here for a while and wait for the Lunar Firebird to escape.

Afterwards, Ye Ming sat down cross-legged and waited quietly.

A day later, there was no movement from the iceberg.

Two days later it was still the same.

Four days…

Ten full days had passed, and there was still no movement from the iceberg before his eyes. Nor had his mental connection with the Taiyin Firebird changed much, except for a slight improvement.

At this point, Ye Ming had given up hope of getting out in a short time.

In this case, he couldn't waste time waiting here, so he looked at the iceberg in front of him with a twinkling gaze, and suddenly took out a milky white jade slip from his storage bag. He immersed his mind in it and looked at it carefully.

This jade slip records a set of secret techniques for strengthening the body. It mainly relies on external objects with extreme properties such as ice, fire, and poison to stimulate the body. By constantly destroying the body's tissues, special techniques are then used to restore it. This cycle is repeated over and over again, and in the end the body can be strengthened.

Previously, because Ye Ming's body was already extremely strong, although there were many things with extreme properties mentioned in this jade slip, not many of them could have any effect on him. It was simply hard to come by chance, so he had never practiced in this area.

Now, there is such a natural extremely cold place that can affect or even destroy one's physical body. Why not take advantage of the special coldness of this place and practice this secret method to strengthen the body?

A month later, Ye Ming felt that he had almost comprehended the secret technique, so he put down the jade slip and stood up.

After taking a deep breath, he took a big step and moved forward ten feet towards the iceberg. Then he slowly released the protection of his magic power and the silver flame shield, releasing the cold air from the outside.

As soon as the cold air touched his body, Ye Ming shuddered, his hair stood on end, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

Immediately afterwards, the visible cold air rushed into Ye Ming's body.

Ye Ming originally thought that his skin, which was as tough as that of an ordinary spiritual treasure, would not be easily penetrated. Unexpectedly, the cold air penetrated under the skin without much effort, entered Ye Ming's body, and began to wreak havoc inside.

In just a few moments, a spot of flesh on the back of his hand was frozen and showed signs of necrosis.

"Hiss, it's so damn cold!" Ye Ming's mouth twitched, and he immediately sat down cross-legged. Then, according to the secret mantra, he circulated the magic power in his body and began to repair the frostbitten muscles.
