#337 - Are there dragons in Bilong Lake?

“Shixin, where is this?” Shixin looked around and asked in confusion.

“Azure Dragon Lake.” Xu Ming yawned. He felt like he had been constantly fighting in the Rootless Secret Realm these past few days and was indeed a little tired.

“But there's no lake here.” Shixin asked again. All Shixin could see was this snowy world.

“Isn't it because we haven't reached Azure Dragon Lake yet?” Xu Ming said speechlessly, looking at the map. “This place is located on the border of Azure Dragon Lake. If we continue north, we can reach the real Azure Dragon Lake.”

“Ooh.” Shixin nodded and hugged the little Chaos cub in her arms even tighter, afraid it would get cold.

The little Chaos cub was already wrapped up into a ball by Shixin.

In fact, Shixin wanted to let the Chaos cub go back to the storage bag to rest.

However, Xu Ming kept saying that the Chaos cub's development would be hindered in the storage bag, and that Chaos creatures couldn't freeze.

In the end, Shixin chose to believe Xu Ming's nonsense, but took out clothes from the storage bag and wrapped them around the Chaos cub.

“Are there dragons in Azure Dragon Lake?” After walking for another incense stick of time, Shixin raised her head and asked Xu Ming again.

“I don't know either.” Xu Ming spread out his hands. “But logically speaking, since it's called Azure Dragon Lake, there should be dragons. It's just that no one seems to have seen them in the many times the Rootless Secret Realm has opened.”

“But you should be able to see them this time. After all, this is the last time the Rootless Secret Realm will be opened. If Azure Dragon Lake really has such high-level creatures as dragons, they should also want to leave this place and go to the outside world, instead of being destroyed with the Rootless Secret Realm.”

Xu Ming speculated.

“Ooh.” Shixin nodded again.

In fact, Shixin was quite looking forward to it, because Shixin herself had never seen a dragon.

Even though all of this was just Xu Ming's speculation.

But Shixin believed Xu Ming. If Xu Ming said there were dragons, then there was a high probability that there really were dragons.

The two of them walked forward, chatting. Shixin would tell Xu Ming whatever came to her mind.

Xu Ming would answer what he could, and say he didn't know what he couldn't.

The two of them seemed to have a sense of harmony.

In fact, this had been the style of interaction between the two of them for some time, and it was quite comfortable.

Shixin showed her most authentic side to Xu Ming, and Xu Ming didn't need to hide anything from Shixin. He was just himself.

The two of them walked for about half an hour, and the further they went, the heavier the snow became.

Xu Ming's hair was covered with a layer of white snow, and Shixin's bald head also looked like it was wearing a white hat.

Along the way, Xu Ming and Shixin encountered many cultivators.

However, the wind and snow were too heavy, and after so many days of the Rootless Secret Realm being open, those who could survive until now were more or less ruthless.

So, under normal circumstances, no one would easily attack.

They were afraid that if they attacked, they would be the ones to disappear.

They continued to walk forward.

Xu Ming and Shixin saw rows of ice sculptures.

These ice sculptures were not works of art, but humans and demons who had been frozen into ice sculptures.

Some of their expressions looked as if they had encountered something very terrifying in their lifetime, and they were very frightened. Their expressions were frozen at the moment of death.

Others had very natural expressions, as if they were walking along and then suddenly frozen into ice sculptures.

One by one, the cultivators shuttled through the ice sculptures, their expressions very vigilant, for fear of being frozen into ice sculptures themselves.

“Stay close, this place is probably not simple.” Xu Ming said to Shixin beside him.

Except for when they were at Blood Bodhi Mountain, where the opponents were only cultivators.

This place was probably like the Samadhi Cave, guarded by something.

It could be a person, or it could be a divine beast, but it wouldn't be too simple.

“Mmm.”

Shixin nodded and put the Chaos cub back into the storage bag to avoid not being able to free her hands when a battle really broke out.

Shixin looked at the corner of Xu Ming's clothes, blinked her eyes gently, and then reached out and pinched it.

Xu Ming felt his clothes being pulled and turned his head to look. What he saw was Shixin's golden eyes.

“I'm afraid of getting lost.” Shixin explained.

“Then hold on tight.” Xu Ming didn't say anything.

Shixin nodded and grabbed the corner of Xu Ming's clothes even tighter.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, not far away, a person's scream came.

Xu Ming and Shixin looked in the direction of the scream. A cultivator was knocked to the ground by the surrounding ice sculptures. Immediately afterwards, the ice sculptures near him quickly moved and raised the weapons in their hands, slashing madly at the cultivator.

In less than two breaths, the cultivator was hacked to death, blood and flesh flying everywhere, the corpse in pieces here and there, extremely bloody.

This pure bloodshed made not only Shixin feel uncomfortable, but even Xu Ming frowned.

Fortunately, these ice sculptures had no way, or rather, no consciousness to erase the souls of others, so these people should still be able to reincarnate.

As for whether they could regain their memories of their previous lives after reincarnation, it would depend on their good fortune in the next life.

Most cultivators could only unlock the memories of their previous lives when they entered the Jade Purity Realm. Even if you were gifted, it would be at least in the Nascent Soul Realm.

“Xu Ming!”

Just as Xu Ming was wondering what was going on in this place, Shixin called out softly.

Xu Ming turned his head and saw an ice sculpture wielding a giant axe, slashing down at him.

However, the spell cast by Shixin had already covered Xu Ming.

With a "clang!" sound, the other party's axe was deflected.

“What the hell!”

Xu Ming cursed and threw a punch, shattering the ice sculpture.

However, more and more ice sculptures "awakened."

They shook off the wind and snow on their bodies and attacked one cultivator after another.

Fortunately, these cultivators were already dead and could not die any more. Even if they attacked, they only used relatively ordinary spells, and their movements were relatively slow, and they did not know how to avoid attacks.

So, these ice sculptures were still relatively easy to kill.

But there were too many of these ice sculptures.

Moreover, even if they could only use some simple spells, the advantage in numbers was still quite annoying.

“Hold on tight, I'm going to rush forward!” Xu Ming said to Shixin.

Xu Ming felt that he had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Shixin nodded.

Xu Ming threw a punch, and the force of the punch smashed forward like a cannonball, instantly creating a path.

Xu Ming directly grabbed Shixin's wrist and ran forward.

At the same time, in this wind and snow, a certain existence opened its eyes.
