Chapter 1677 The so-called secret realm is just the back garden of the strong

Normally, Huoyu rarely uses his special abilities.

Especially after eating the Flame-Flame Fruit and obtaining the Flame Lion, she would basically fight any mutant creature that did not reach the first sequence in strength by herself.

Only during the beast tide, because there are too many mutant creatures, she basically uses her supernatural powers; and because there are first-sequence level mutant creatures in the beast tide, she usually goes all out.

Therefore, the number of summoned beasts will be large.

Sometimes, the number of her summoned beasts is greater than the beast tide itself.

Although most of the summoned beasts are used to deal with those powerful mutant creatures, there are still a lot of them left. And because their own strength is stronger than those weak mutant creatures in the beast tide, after killing them, because there is no prey for them, their attention will gradually turn to the corpses of the mutant creatures.

Some of the greedy ones would take a bite, and then the more they ate, the more delicious it became, to the point of corrupting the summoned beasts around them.

Huoyu herself didn't know when the summoned beasts she summoned developed the habit of eating prey on the battlefield; by the time she discovered it, it was already too late.

Fortunately, they knew to leave the strongest one to themselves, and that it was most important to quell the beast tide as soon as possible, without worrying about the method. Otherwise, she would have wanted to hit them twice.

Xuewu nodded in agreement with this point, and it was obvious that she also had the same worry.

While chatting and laughing, they stepped into the deep ice cave.

As soon as they entered, the freezing cold made their breathing slow. The interior of the ice cave was much larger than it looked from the outside. The dome was high and the rough ice walls had irregular edges, as if they had been chiseled through by some enormous force.

There were deep claw marks left on the ice, which were obviously carved out bit by bit by the ice dragons using their sharp claws and dragon breath.

"This is much more vivid than your record."

"And the dragon claw is so obvious, and you told me it was formed naturally?"

Huoyu reached out and touched the groove on the ice wall, looking at Fallen with some unfriendly eyes.

"We came in secretly at that time, so we didn't have time to observe in such detail."

The corners of Fallen's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

They had sneaked in at that time, fearing that they would be discovered by the five mutant ice dragons. Who would observe the claw marks on the wall so carefully? After a little observation, they went deeper.

Who cares about these?

I'm not as perverted as you guys. You killed all five mutant ice dragons right away, not even leaving their corpses alone. You came in so brazenly as if you were out for fun.

How could the three of them be so perverted?
"You know what, these dragons are quite talented in construction."

Lin Kai looked around and made some comments.

Although the interior of the ice cave is rough, its structure is solid, and one can even vaguely see the divisions of the nest. There are wide rest areas, winding passages, and even a few places that are obviously supported by ice pillars formed by the repeated spewing of dragon breath.

If you don't have some talent in construction, it may not be possible to do it.

"But what did they build this ice cave for?"

"Just to protect that ice crystal flower? There's no need to build it so big, right?"

Huoyu was a little confused.

Although the ice crystal flower has only been seen in the video provided by Fallen and others, it doesn’t seem to be very big. Why did they build such a large ice cave?
Does it take so much space to protect it?
"Is it possible that people still want to build a nest for themselves?"

Kunhu was speechless.

People only care about the ice crystal flower and not themselves, right?

It's normal for five mutant ice dragons to build a nest for themselves.

"Um"

Huoyu was silent.

If you say that, I seem a bit stupid.

Everyone shook their heads and laughed, without further investigation, and continued to walk deeper.

Not long after, the space ahead suddenly became clear.

"arrive."

Fall stopped and lowered his voice unconsciously.

He didn't know why he lowered his voice, it might be because he had sneaked in before and was used to speaking in a low voice. Although he had now dealt with the five mutant ice dragons, he had not changed the habit.

Everyone gradually quieted down.

In front of them was a huge ice crystal palace.

In the center of the hall, there is a flower suspended, an ice crystal flower.

Compared to what you see in the video, the shock of seeing it in person is far beyond what the video can compare to.

It does not grow on the ground, but floats in the air. Its roots hang down like ice silk, but do not touch any solid object. The petals are made entirely of transparent ice. Each piece is as thin as a cicada's wing, but reflects a deep blue light.

A ball of extremely cold energy is condensed in the pistil and is constantly rotating. Just looking at it can make one's eyes sting, as if even the sight is frozen.

chill.

An indescribable chill of fear spread silently, with the flower as its center.

The moisture in the air condensed into ice crystals the moment it approached it, and then quickly broke into powder. The ground, walls, and even the dome of the ice cave were covered with a layer of constantly growing frost patterns, slowly spreading like a living thing.

"This thing is really cold. No wonder you got frostbite after touching it."

Huoyu couldn't help but smack his lips.

After hearing what Shengguang and the others said before, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that even if the cold was severe, how severe could it be? She didn't expect it to be so severe.

Just being close to her made her, a first-order person, feel the chill.

"No, the last time we came here, the cold wasn't this severe. It was much lighter than it is now."

When Shengguang heard Huoyu's words, his tone became a little serious, and he looked at the ice crystal flower with a somewhat incredible look.

It seems like it hasn’t been long since they last came?
It will only take a month at most.

In just one month, it's become so much colder than before?

Fallen stared at the flower, frowning:

“Is it growing?”

"It's normal for flowers to grow. It just looks like ice, but it is a flower."

The druid, who was originally equally incredulous, became speechless when he heard the words of the Fallen.

What does "it is growing" mean?
Although this ice crystal flower looks like it is made of ice and is no different from ice, its essence is still a flower.

A flower that grows in Antarctica and is as cold as ice.

Isn't it normal for flowers to grow?
"Whatever it is, get it first."

Before Lin Kai finished speaking, the black rhino armor had instantly covered his entire body. The thick rhino armor had a cold and hard metallic texture under the dim light of the ice crystals. He took a step forward and stretched out his hand to grab the suspended ice crystal flower.

"Huh? When did you change? You're so fast!"

Huoyu's eyes widened.

Others did not expect that Lin Kai's movements would be so fast that he even put on the black rhino armor.

Then they watched Lin Kai move forward, watching his hand about to touch the petals.

In an instant.

“Buzz——!!!”

The entire ice crystal flower suddenly trembled violently, the blue light on the petals flickered wildly, and a terrifying chill suddenly broke out! The temperature in the ice cave dropped sharply in an instant, and the surrounding ice walls made an unbearable "cracking" sound, and countless fine cracks spread.

It was resisting Lin Kai. No, it couldn’t be said to be resisting. It felt like a mixture of closeness and rejection.

It was as if Lin Kai was actually able to pick it off, but because certain conditions were not met, it was unwilling to be picked off.

Lin Kai's hand froze in mid-air, and thick frost had condensed on the surface of the arm armor of the Black Rhino Armor. He could feel that the flower was "resisting", not struggling like a living creature, but an almost instinctive reluctance to be picked by him.

If he tried to pick it by force, the ice crystal flower would most likely self-destruct on the spot!

"……interesting."

Lin Kai narrowed his eyes, and the voice under the armor was a little surprised.

"A flower actually knows how to threaten people?"

The light of the ice crystal flower flickered, as if responding to his words. The energy ball in the center of the pistil rotated more violently, and the surrounding air even began to distort, obviously accumulating some kind of explosive power.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the ice cave was tense.

"and many more!"

"Let me do it."

Chen Bing suddenly spoke and walked forward slowly.

After hearing what Chen Bing said, Lin Kai didn't say much. His black rhino armor turned into flowing water and dissipated, and he simply took a few steps back.

If Chen Bing could pick it, it would prove that the reason the flower resisted him was because their properties were incompatible.

Although in his opinion, ice is just another form of water and there is no essential difference between the two; but you cannot use your own thinking to measure the thinking of natural treasures.

Chen Bing walked forward slowly, a wisp of pure, extreme cold air lingering around her slender white fingertips. She was not in a hurry to touch the ice crystal flower, but continued to exude her own coldness.

The trembling of the ice crystal flower gradually slowed down, but the energy ball of the pistil was still spinning vigilantly; the cold air at Chen Bing's fingertips turned into thin threads and gently wrapped around the petals, not picking them by force, but slowly pulling them like an invitation.

An amazing scene appeared.

The petals of the ice crystal flower stretched slightly, and it actually broke away from the suspended position on its own, floating down along Chen Bing's cold thread, and finally landed lightly in her palm.

The energy ball in the pistil remains stable, with no signs of self-destruction.

"All right."

Chen Bing raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment; they had not expected the problem to be solved so easily.

"So, it can only be picked by people with ice attributes?"

"So if it works, will it only work on people with ice element?"

Huoyu said with some curiosity.

"perhaps."

"But Chen Bing should gain greater benefits than others."

"When the time comes, let the people at the Research Institute transform it into varying amounts of pills, and then give 30% of them to them, and let Chen Bing and Xue Wu take the rest."

"Perhaps it will allow them to make a breakthrough in their strength."

Qin Tian thought for a while and said, Huoyu, Lin Kai and Kunhu all nodded.

Since it is more effective against people with ice element abilities, there is no need for them to use it; if it can help Chen Bing and Xue Wu to make a breakthrough in their strength, it will also be a good thing for China.

As for the 30% elixir mentioned above, it was also promised to Shengguang, Fallen and others before, and they had no intention of breaking the contract afterwards.

Chen Bing ignored their words and focused on observing the ice crystal flower in her palm; she could feel that this flower contained some kind of nascent spirituality.

Perhaps that's why it's so sensitive to attributes.

If it can continue to stay here, perhaps in the future it will develop true intelligence, and it is even possible that it will become a mutated creature.

Although according to human definition, it is actually considered a mutant creature.

Of course, having said that, Chen Bing did not have the idea of ​​continuing to cultivate it.

Compared to the distant and uncertain future, it is obviously more beneficial for them to refine it into elixir and then turn it into their own strength and foundation.

Holy Light, Fallen, and Druid looked at each other, and were a little dazed for a moment.

Is this the end?
The secret realm they called the Abyss of Eternal Frozen, which was guarded by five first-sequence-level mutant ice dragons and contained ice crystal flowers that even first-sequence-level psychics could not get close to, was it so easily cleared by Qin Tian and others?
The five mutated ice dragons were killed forcefully, and then the Ice Emperor Chen Bing picked the ice crystal flower in a way that they could not understand. All that was left was an empty ice cave.

Thinking back to the last time when the three of them had to flee in a panic after being discovered by the mutated ice dragon, and then looking at the relaxed and carefree scene now, he felt mixed emotions.

Obviously, they were all first-sequence ones, but even though the other three first-sequence ones were able to kill five mutated ice dragons, the three of them could only run away.

This world is so unfair.

No, to be precise, personal strength is only a little bit, the main thing is God's gift.

Qin Tian and others basically have things given by God, but they have none, so there is naturally a gap in their combat effectiveness.

"What? It's too fast? How about you three take us to the secret place you mentioned last time where there's a giant tree that reaches the sky?"

Huoyu glanced at Holy Light, Fallen, and Druid who were looking at each other in bewilderment, thought of their thoughts, and said jokingly.

"No need, no need."

When Fallen heard this, he quickly shook his head.

Although the strength of the tree is incomprehensible, and even seems to be beyond the first-order category, if it were them, it seems that they really have the possibility of defeating the tree and taking it back to make medicine.

After all, it was the only two secret realms they discovered. The Eternal Frozen Abyss is gone. Although they didn't gain anything from that secret realm, at least it left them with something to think about.

When they walked out of the ice cave, the Aurora in Antarctica was flowing across the sky. Chen Bing formed an ice cube and placed the ice crystal flower inside it.

Because of its spiritual nature, it cannot be placed in a space ring and can only be carried with you.

"The so-called secret realm is just the back garden of the strong."

Huoyu took a look at the ice cave and finally sighed.

There are no secret realms in this world. The so-called secret realms are just the names given by humans to dangerous areas. But to those strong ones, they are no different from other places.

At most, the resources inside are more valuable and the mutated creatures are more powerful.
