Jiang Qiong took a bite of the wolf meat. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fresh meat spread in her mouth and was extremely delicious.

After the fatigue of the battle, eating such delicious food made him feel extremely satisfied.

While eating the skewers, Lang Nana smiled and said, "This is the most delicious wolf meat I have ever eaten. I didn't expect that we would have such a good fortune."

Nan Fengxue also nodded in agreement: "Yes, although today's battle was difficult, we also gained a lot. This wolf meat not only filled our stomachs, but also made us feel the joy of victory."

Jiang Qiong looked at her two companions and her heart was filled with warmth.

In this dangerous forest, they supported each other and faced difficulties together. Every battle and every harvest made their friendship deeper.

The three of them ate barbecue and shared their feelings and experiences with each other.

They talked about the various monsters they had encountered before, shared the thrilling moments in the battle, and looked forward to future adventures. In this forest, they didn't know what they would encounter, but at the moment, they enjoyed this brief peace and warmth.

After eating the barbecue, the three of them drank a few sips of hot water and felt that their bodies had regained a lot of strength.

They lay on the grass, looking up at the sky, feeling extremely comfortable as they looked at the blue sky and white clouds.

After this rest and energy replenishment, they are full of energy and ready to meet the next challenge.

After resting for a while, Jiang Qiong stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "We have rested enough, it's time to move on.

I don’t know what’s waiting for us ahead, but I believe that as long as we are together, nothing can stop us.”

Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue also stood up and nodded firmly.

The dense branches and leaves blocked some of the sunlight for them, and the mottled light and shadows on the ground swayed with their footsteps.

It was so quiet that only their light footsteps and the occasional chirping of insects could be heard, as if the whole world was sleeping in the embrace of the forest.

However, at some point, the sky was gradually covered by dark clouds, and the originally blue sky became gloomy and depressing. A cold wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

Jiang Qiong raised her head alertly, looked at the sky, and had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Everyone be careful, there may be bad weather coming." Jiang Qiong's voice was low and powerful, reminding his companions to be prepared.

As soon as he finished speaking, bean-sized snowflakes began to fall. At first, they were sparse, but in a blink of an eye, the snowflakes were as dense as goose feathers, covering the sky and the earth.

The strong wind was howling, causing the branches to shake violently and creak, as if they would break at any time.

The blizzard was moving extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the entire world was covered in white. The vision became extremely blurry, and the three of them could only grope forward with difficulty.

"This blizzard came too suddenly. We have to find a place to shelter." Lang Nana shouted loudly in the strong wind. Her cheeks were red from the cold wind and her hands were tightly wrapped in her clothes.

Nan Fengxue nodded, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes: "But in this vast snowy land, where can we hide?"

Just when they felt helpless, Jiang Qiong suddenly saw a faint fog in front of them.

In this icy and snowy land, the appearance of fog is extremely unusual.

He had a thought, maybe there will be a chance. "Follow me, there may be a place to hide ahead."

Jiang Qiong pointed in the direction of the fog and spoke loudly. The three of them walked towards the source of the fog with difficulty against the strong wind.

As they got closer, the fog became thicker and thicker, and a huge hot spring pool gradually appeared before their eyes.

The hot spring pool is surrounded by snow, and the water in the pool is constantly steaming, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding cold.

"Great, we finally found the place!" Lang Nana shouted excitedly, quickening her pace. As they approached the hot spring pool, a strong spiritual energy rushed towards them.

This spiritual energy was much richer than anything they had ever felt before, as if it was a huge treasure trove of spiritual power.

The three of them couldn't help but widen their eyes, their eyes full of surprise.

"The spiritual energy contained in this hot spring is so rich. It is really a rare and wonderful place."

Jiang Qiong exclaimed, with a delighted smile on her face. The three of them couldn't wait to walk to the hot spring, only to see that the hot spring pool was an irregular circle with a diameter of about ten meters.

The water in the pool is crystal clear and the bottom is covered with colorful stones, which are sparkling with mysterious light under the steam.

There are some exotic flowers and plants growing around the hot spring. These flowers and plants are still full of vitality under the invasion of blizzards and emit a faint fragrance.

Jiang Qiong stretched out his hand to test the water temperature. It was neither too hot nor too cold, just right. He took off his clothes first and slowly walked into the hot spring pool.

The warm spring water wrapped around his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.

After a long battle and a difficult trek in the blizzard, the physical fatigue seemed to dissipate instantly at this moment.

Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue also entered the hot spring pool one after another. They closed their eyes and quietly enjoyed the rare warmth and spiritual nourishment.

Under the infiltration of spiritual energy, their bodies began to undergo subtle changes. The spiritual power in their bodies circulated more smoothly, and some hidden injuries left in previous battles were also slowly recovering.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a magical hot spring in this icy and snowy place."

Nan Fengxue said with a happy smile on her face. "Yes, this may be a gift from God to us."

Lang Nana echoed, gently stirring the spring water beside her, splashing a string of crystal water.

Just as they were immersed in the comfort of the hot spring, Jiang Qiong suddenly discovered some transparent shrimps swimming at the bottom of the hot spring.

These little shrimps emit a faint fluorescence all over their bodies, and they look particularly beautiful against the backdrop of colorful stones.

Moreover, these small shrimps seem to contain a certain spiritual power and are rare spiritual creatures.

"Look, there are shrimps in the hot spring!" Jiang Qiong excitedly pointed to the bottom of the hot spring and shouted to his companions.

Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue looked in the direction of Jiang Qiong's finger, and when they saw those lively shrimps, their eyes lit up with surprise.

"These spiritual shrimps look very unusual. If we can catch a few of them, it might be of great help to our cultivation." Lang Nana said, eager to try.

So the three of them began to carefully catch the shrimps. The shrimps were extremely fast and sensitive, so it was not easy to catch them.

Jiang Qiong used his spiritual power to condense a spiritual power net in his hands, and gently spread it in the direction of the spiritual shrimp.

However, the spirit shrimp sensed the danger and quickly dodged the spirit net.

Nan Fengxue cast a spell to create a small whirlpool in the water, trying to draw the shrimp into it. But the shrimp cleverly avoided the whirlpool and continued to shuttle freely in the water. After several failed attempts, Lang Nana came up with a solution.

She gently threw a stone into a corner of the hot spring to attract the shrimp's attention.

Then, she, Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue quietly approached the shrimp from the other side.

When the shrimps were attracted by the stones and gathered together, the three of them attacked at the same time and successfully caught a few shrimps. "Great, we finally caught them!"

Lang Nana shouted excitedly, holding the container of shrimp tightly in her hand.

The three of them brought the captured shrimps to the hot spring and began to prepare them for cooking.

They built a simple stove with stones from the hot spring and found some dry branches from the nearby woods.

Jiang Qiong used her spiritual power to light the branches, and the flames quickly burned.

Lang Nana washed the shrimps, put them in the pot, and added some hot spring water and the seasonings they brought with them.

Under the roasting of the flame, the water in the pot gradually boiled, the color of the shrimp changed from transparent to an attractive red, and a delicious aroma spread.

"This shrimp must taste great." Nan Fengxue swallowed her saliva and looked at the shrimp in the pot expectantly. After a while, the shrimp was cooked.

The three of them sat around the stove and began to taste this rare delicacy. They soaked in the hot springs and ate shrimps, enjoying this pleasant time.

Jiang Qiong picked up a shrimp, put it in her mouth and took a light bite. The tender shrimp meat spread in her mouth and a rich and fresh flavor filled her entire mouth.

At the same time, the spiritual power contained in the shrimp was slowly released, nourishing his body.

"This spiritual shrimp is not only delicious, but also rich in spiritual power. It is really a rare delicacy."

Jiang Qiong was full of praise. Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue also nodded in agreement.

While tasting the shrimps, they shared their feelings and thoughts with each other.

Next to this warm hot spring, they forgot the cold and danger of the outside world and immersed themselves in this brief tranquility and joy.

As time went by, the blizzard gradually stopped, and the sun shone through the clouds and onto the snow, reflecting a dazzling light.

The three of them soaked in the hot spring for a long time, their bodies got sufficient rest and nourishment, and their spiritual power also improved to a certain extent.

"It's time for us to leave." Jiang Qiong stood up and looked into the distance, his eyes full of determination.

Just as Jiang Qiong and others were preparing to pack their bags and leave this hot spring that had brought them so many surprises with full harvest and a sense of relief, a noisy sound of footsteps was heard from a distance.

Jiang Qiong and others subconsciously tightened their weapons and looked vigilantly towards the source of the sound.

I saw a group of ten people walking towards the hot spring pool. The leader was a middle-aged man, tall and burly, with a stern face and a look of arrogance and disdain in his eyes.

He was dressed in a black brocade robe embroidered with golden runes, which shimmered in the sunlight, revealing his extraordinary status.

Behind him followed four young men, all of them strong and with fierce eyes.

They were dressed in uniform grey uniforms, with sharp swords on their waists. The gems inlaid on the scabbards emitted a cold luster.

There were three other women in the team, who looked about the same age as Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue.

One of the women had a pretty face but a frosty expression. She was wearing a pink long skirt with the hem fluttering in the wind. It was embroidered with delicate flower patterns, making her look very gorgeous.

The other two women were wearing purple robes, with cold expressions and contempt in their eyes.

The last two were old men with white hair, but tall stature and shrewd eyes.

They wore plain green Taoist robes, held canes in their hands, and walked steadily, each step seeming to carry an invisible pressure.

The group walked to the hot spring pool. The middle-aged man in the lead looked Jiang Qiong and the others up and down, and said in an extremely overbearing tone: "All of you, get out of here immediately. This spiritual spring belongs to us now."

Jiang Qiong frowned, and a surge of anger suddenly rose in her heart. They were about to leave, but the tone of the middle-aged man was really unbearable.

"We are about to leave, but isn't the attitude of your words too much?" Jiang Qiong responded coldly.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "Too much? In this world where the strong prey on the weak, strength is everything. If you know what's good for you, get out of here right away. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Lang Nana couldn't help it. She took a step forward and said angrily, "Why do you chase us away as soon as you get here? This spiritual spring is not yours."

The woman in the pink dress sneered, "Just because we have more people, just because you are no match for us. If you know what's good for you, don't waste your time here."

Nan Fengxue stood aside with a gloomy face. She tightly grasped the long sword in her hand and whispered, "Even if I want to leave, it is not your turn to make decisions."

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The young men behind the middle-aged man drew out their swords, pointing the tips of their swords at Jiang Qiong and others, ready to attack at any time.

Jiang Qiong and others were not to be outdone. Jiang Qiong gathered his spiritual power into the spiritual sword in his hand, and the spiritual sword instantly shone with dazzling light.

Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue also cast spells respectively, spiritual power surrounded them and emitted a powerful aura.

"Humph, you don't know your own limitations." The middle-aged man said contemptuously, "Today I will let you know what happens if you offend us."

Jiang Qiong knew in his heart that the other side had a large number of people and seemed to be quite strong, but he had no intention of retreating.

"Let's see who is overestimating his own abilities." Jiang Qiong said gritting his teeth.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, an old man suddenly said, "Wait, there's no need to fight over such a small matter."

He took a step forward, looked at Jiang Qiong and the others and said, "Young men, we are not unreasonable. How about this, if you can survive ten moves from us, you will be able to continue using this spiritual spring for the time being."

Jiang Qiong sneered in his heart. This old man seemed to be trying to reconcile them on the surface, but in fact he was humiliating them.

However, he also understood that this might be an opportunity. "Okay, it's a deal."

Jiang Qiong agreed without hesitation. The middle-aged man and the other monks exchanged a glance, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

They believed that with the strength of Jiang Qiong and the others, it was impossible for them to survive ten moves under their joint attack. "Then don't blame us for being rude." (End of this chapter)
