Chapter 575: Desperate
The pond was not big, but Huang Hao looked at the pond in front of him and suddenly felt an urge to explode his scalp.
Too weird!
I saw that under the gorgeous blue ice flames of the pond, there were at least hundreds of corpses floating on the water surface, as if a layer of flesh was covered with a pond.
Each corpse was intact and there were no wounds on its body. It was obviously not a death because of the fight. Combined with Xiao Hei's words, Huang Hao understood a little.
The reason why these people died here is probably because of this Ice and Fire Lake.
"No, although the surrounding area of the Ice and Fire Lake is a little cold, it has not reached a level that practitioners cannot bear. At this moment, as long as I use my true energy to protect myself, the cold air around me will not hurt me at all." Huang Hao looked around in confusion, thinking in his heart: "Don't say it's me, even ordinary Jindan stage practitioners should be able to persevere here."
But just as his thoughts arose, a sudden sense of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes.
I saw a huge milky white ice crystal in the middle of the dense corpse in the middle of the turbulent lake. During the turmoil of the lake, you could feel the thrilling cold power conveyed from it.
“That’s…”
Huang Hao suddenly became excited, and his eyes looked at the milky white ice crystal, and he had a lot of greed. Could it be the legendary Wannian Ice Soul King? And judging from the volume, the volume exposed to the water surface of the Ice and Fire Lake is no less than the size of a basin. How big should the one hidden under the lake be?
And the next moment, Huang Hao's eyes moved again. He saw some smaller milky white ice crystals floating on the water surface. The size of these ice crystals was not large, about the size of a fist, but only a circle larger than the thousand-year-old ice soul, but the number was quite large, about a hundred. These small milky white ice crystals surrounded the huge Wannian Ice Soul King like a moon, like many soldiers guarding their king!
At this moment, Huang Hao understood something in his heart.
Many corpses in the lake probably saw the Wannian Ice Soul King at the center of the lake, and felt greedy, so they ventured into the Ice and Fire Lake and wanted to collect it, but they didn't expect to die inside.
People die for money, and birds die for food.
Huang Hao fell into deep thought. It would be impossible to say that he did not have greed in his heart after seeing such a large piece of Ten Thousand Years of Ice Soul King. On the contrary, the greed in his heart was stronger than that of others, because he believed that the Ten Thousand Years of Ice Soul at the center of the lake would probably be the key to his extreme water eye entering the second level.
However, many bloody examples on the Ice and Fire Lake were right in front of me, and with Xiao Hei's repeated reminders, how can he not have any concerns? If you don't do it well, it will kill you!
"Does it really have to go back empty-handed?" Huang Hao thought unwillingly. The next moment, a strong sense of reluctance suddenly arose in Huang Hao's heart: "No, no matter what, I must try it! If I can't stand it, come back immediately!"
At this point, Huang Hao's heart was immediately occupied by strong desire, and he finally took his own steps towards the Ice and Fire Lake.
One step, two steps, three steps...
As the Ice and Fire Lake in Huang Hao's body got closer, Huang Hao could feel the temperature around him also dropped sharply. When Huang Hao stood on the edge of the Ice and Fire Lake, every time the heat that Huang Hao exhaled would immediately turn into a snowflake-like thing falling down.
Huang Hao stood still, his eyebrows were tightly locked, as if he was also feeling a little nervous at this moment.
But the next moment, he took another step.
This kick directly made Huang Hao's foot step into the Ice and Fire Lake water filled with ice flames.
In an instant, Huang Hao felt an extremely cold breath suddenly rushed up to his body along the soles of his feet, causing Huang Hao to shivered immediately.
"It's still time to retreat now!" A thought suddenly arose in Huang Hao's heart, and then the thought went crazy, making Huang Hao's mind that had just become hardened suddenly filled with hesitation. He knew that once he continued to step on, he might really lose his life.
However, just when Huang Hao's heart was shaken, an urgent desire suddenly came from Huang Hao's Eye of Extreme Water. This willingness was not will, but a feeling. This feeling made Huang Hao understand that the Eye of Extreme Water is extremely eager for the Ten Thousand Years of Ice Soul King in the heart of the lake. If he loses this opportunity, he will probably lose the opportunity to advance to the second level in his life.
"Since I started my practice, I have experienced so many things that I have been dying and still alive. How can this ice and fire lake in front of me make me retreat?" A sense of pride suddenly rose, shocking every pore on Huang Hao's body.
The next moment, the hesitation in Huang Hao's eyes disappeared, replaced by an indomitable perseverance and determination.
"Crazy--"
"Crazy--"
"Crazy--"
Huang Hao's footsteps headed towards the center of the Ice and Fire Lake, and each step cut the water of the Ice and Fire Lake, making clear sounds.
The cold air and the biting coldness were like poisonous snakes, quickly drilling into the depths of Huang Hao's body. Even if Huang Hao frantically released his true energy to resist, it would not have much effect.
Huang Hao looked at the body that had been immersed in the Ice and Fire Lake, and saw that the blue ice flame had climbed onto his body and was burning on his body. And the chill was released by the burning of the ice flame!
"The most deadly thing in this Ice and Fire Lake is these ice flames!" Huang Hao's eyes suddenly became severe: "With my true energy strength that is not weaker than the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul, I can't resist the erosion of these colds!"
At this moment, Huang Hao finally understood why so many people died. Such coldness, even if the cultivator of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul, would not be able to withstand it for long. When the true energy could not resist the invasion of the cold, the coldness would directly act in the body and quickly take away the vitality of the body. Even these coldness would freeze the purple palace dantian, and even if the cultivator wanted to abandon his body and escape from the Nascent Soul, it would be extremely difficult for him to do so.
"Do you physically?" Understanding the horror of the Ice and Fire Lake, Huang Hao's worry disappeared, and replaced by a kind of excitement and determination: "Although the ice flame of the Ice and Fire Lake is terrifying, it is also an opportunity for me! My "Nine Refinings of the Flesh Body" requires various pains to stimulate, so that the body becomes more tough. When the first refining, I rely on the huge pain brought by the strong body soup and the medicinal power of the strong body soup. The second refining is tempered by the terrifying temperature of the true energy fire. This time, maybe you can rely on the powerful coldness of the Ice Flame to temper the body and impact the third refining of the body!"
Thinking of this, Huang Hao decided not to be conservative. He gritted his teeth and plunged into the water of the Ice and Fire Lake without hesitation, and then swam quickly towards the center of the Ice and Fire Lake.
The Ice and Fire Lake is only as big as a basketball court, but the lake water inside is full of ice flames and has a very dense density. Even if Huang Hao's strength is not weaker than the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul at this moment, he cannot quickly shuttle in the water. After more than a dozen breaths, Huang Hao has a distance of about five or six meters, and is still some distance away from the Wannian Ice Soul King in the middle of the lake.
It’s not that Huang Hao doesn’t want to swim to the middle of the lake in one go, but because Huang Hao can’t move anymore!
At this moment, Huang Hao's eyes were full of grimness. He once again deepened his understanding of the terrifying Ice and Fire Lake. After arriving here, the ice flames grew many times, and the cold air that invaded Huang Hao's body also amplified many times. At this moment, Huang Hao had already felt that the meridians in his body had been completely solidified, and even his dantian was completely frozen, and it became a luxury to use his true energy to resist.
At this moment, he had almost reached the end of his life. Once the vitality in his body disappeared, he would be frozen here forever like these corpses in the Ice and Fire Lake, becoming the object of observation by later generations.
But if you look closely, you can see that Huang Hao's eyes flashed with excitement, as if he was in a state of madness.
People in desperate situations are most likely to burst out with full potential!
The next moment, Huang Hao actually closed his eyes directly, and his body slowly sank into the water of the Ice and Fire Lake.
The Ice and Fire Lake is not very deep, but it is not shallow. The further down, the more the ice flames become, the more full it becomes. Huang Hao slowly sank and soon sank to the bottom of the lake, touching the hard bottom of the lake.
At the bottom of the lake, the ice flames were already so rich that they were terrifying. As soon as Huang Hao's body touched the bottom of the lake, countless ice flames rushed towards Huang Hao like a hungry wolf who saw food.
From beginning to end, Huang Hao closed his eyes so much, as if he was in a deep sleep, as if he had completely died like the corpses floating on the lake.
...
Outside the underground corridor, Blood Centipede beat him boredly.
He looked at the little monkey who was dozing lazily against a big tree and asked, "Little monkey, it's been two days, why hasn't the news from the master been heard yet?"
The little monkey raised his eyelids, looked at the blood centimeter lightly, and then squeaked twice.
The blood centipede understood what the little monkey meant, and that was to let him not worry.
"Something is still wrong." Blood Centrifugal said with some concern: "In another hour, it will be dawn. As soon as the sky is dawn, the people from Heihe City will set off for the Maple Leaf City. The master attaches great importance to this matter and will definitely not miss it. There is no movement yet, is it that the master encountering any trouble?"
The little monkey thrust his mouth, but his body climbed up from the ground, patted the soil on his butt, and looked at the dark underground corridor, and there was also a sense of worry in his eyes.
